“…The beneficial effect of visualizing actions from the third-person perspective holds obvious appeal for those interested in promoting health behaviors: Visualization has been shown to have reliable effects in other domains, such as sports performance (Driskell, Cooper, & Moran, 1994), and there are indications that it may be effective in motivating changes in health behavior (Armitage & Reidy, 2008;Hagger, Lonsdale, & Chatzisarantis, 2011;Ouellette, Hessling, Gibbons, Reis-Bergan, & Gerrard, 2005;Knauper, McCollam, RosenBrown, Lacaille, Kelso, & Roseman, 2011). It therefore seems possible that the use of the third-person perspective could enhance these effects.…”
