James Bond Effect


the james bond effect (also called 007 effect) is a theory in propaganda and political circles, whereby the first detailed opinion/summary that someone hears or reads on a particular topic, is the one they are most likely to adopt.

called the james bond effect – in reference to the james bond character – as there is highly anecdotal evidence that the first actor someone sees play the chacater of james bond, is the one they prefer (i.e. someone who saw their first bond film in the 1960’s will tell you sean connery played the best bond, however those that saw their first bond film in the 1990’s will tell you pierce brosnan is the best).

mike: well, that’s the james bond effect for you. management know that you will probably catch up with dave sometime soon.
