Storyteller Bias
When new information is relayed in a relatable story, we are able to process this new information much quicker and easily. This is because our brains were able to relate the new information to previous existing information.
For Example
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many people began taking unorthodox medications, such as ivermectin, despite the lack of scientific evidence supporting its efficacy. This irrational decision was fueled by anecdotal success stories, even though there was no proven causal relationship.

The Impact of Storytelling on Decision-Making Biases: The Linda Problem
In an experiment participants were told a story about Linda’s life. They were then asked whether they thought Linda was a bank teller or if Linda was a bank teller who is a feminist. Statistically there is a higher chance that Linda is just a bank teller but 90% of participants said it was more likely that Linda was a bank teller and feminist. This is because the story about Linda's life increased the speed of decision which caused individuals to overlook probabilities.

The Influence of Narrative Frameworks on Probability Judgments: A Case Study
In a research study, the New York Times asked participants whether the average American is more likely to have: A: A Ph.D. B: Just a GED and did not attend college. Most participants correctly chose B. However, when the question was reframed with more information: "You see a stranger reading the New York Times. Are they more likely to have: A: A Ph.D. B: Just a GED and did not attend college," results showed that participants were more likely to choose A. This illustrates how narrative frameworks influence decision-making, leading individuals to overlook statistical probabilities.

Renascence Advice
When utilizing the storyteller bias, it's important to recognize both the potential advantages and ethical considerations. The storyteller bias can effectively captivate audiences, making narratives more relatable and engaging, which can enhance the overall customer experience. Stories can simplify complex information, foster emotional connections, and make your message more memorable. However, it's essential to avoid the unethical use of the storyteller bias, such as distorting facts or exaggerating claims to mislead customers. Such practices can erode trust and damage your brand's reputation. Ensure that your stories are authentic, truthful, and aligned with your brand values. By using the storyteller bias ethically, you can build stronger, more meaningful relationships with your customers while maintaining their trust and loyalty.
