“Mental simulation of future scenarios is hypothesized to affect future behavior, but a large and inconsistent literature means it is unclear whether, and under what conditions, mental simulation can change people’s behavior.”
– Scott Cole et al.
In this peer-reviewed article, Dr Scott Cole et al. conduct a meta-analysis of an impressive 123 studies in order to “synthesize the effects of mental simulation on behavior and examine under what conditions mental simulation works best.”
“In this meta-analysis, our aims were to elucidate for the first time the unique effects of mental simulation on behavior change across a range of domains and uncover which mental simulations, and which intervention characteristics, moderated this effect.”
– Scott Cole et al.
