If you had to persuade people to recycle, how would you do it? Regents’ Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Marketing Robert Cialdini's research found unwritten rules on how to behave make a difference.

"I am confident that influence techniques can be used to affect recycling action, too," Cialdini told CNN.
"My own research has demonstrated the power of one influence technique, the presentation of social norms regarding recycling, to significantly change recycling intentions and behavior."
