The Ohio State researchers examined how viewing \u201cbehaviorally targeted\u201d internet ads can impact the way a person thinks about themselves. \u201cBehavioral targeting uses information about what you do online \u2014 not just what you\u2019ve bought, but what you\u2019ve clicked on and what websites you\u2019ve visited<\/p>\n<p data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">\u00a0<mark class=\"ot ou fl\">\u201cFor example, in one of our studies, receiving a behaviorally targeted ad for a green [eco-friendly] product made consumers feel like they had stronger green consumption values.\u201d<\/mark><\/p>\n<p data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">Messing with a user\u2019s mood or memory is one thing. If online advertisements have the power to reshape a person\u2019s image of themselves, as that last Ohio State study suggests, it may be time to stop thinking about the internet as something people use, and start thinking of it as a new environment in which human beings exist and adapt, for better or worse.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/elemental.medium.com\/technology-is-fundamentally-changing-the-ways-you-think-and-feel-b4bbfdefc2ee<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Her study\u2019s findings imply that visual distractions \u2014 like the  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15192","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/winningthinking.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15192","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/winningthinking.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/winningthinking.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/winningthinking.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/winningthinking.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15192"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/winningthinking.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15192\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/winningthinking.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15192"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/winningthinking.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15192"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/winningthinking.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15192"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
