Evaluate the drafted changes
I like that you are choosing to edit the lead as I find it to be a little confusing, and it does not differentiate between reactance and the boomerang effect. This may benefit from some clarification, and the piece about walking on the lawn could probably be reworded.

I also like your idea of including pieces of information about when a campaign actually resulted in a boomerang effect, and I suspect that an entire section could be made on this topic if you were interested. This may also give a more balanced tone to the article as it focuses mainly on efforts to reduce the effect.

The section on cognitive dissonance theory analysis is, in my opinion, not very well done and could be in need of rewording/conceptualizing.

The other analysis section could certainly be expanded upon with additional resources. My immediate though is how it affected messaging regarding Covid-19, but there are many similar examples.

Overall, this article is relatively barren, and I am interested to see where you decide to take it!
