5 interesting psychological facts
Good afternoon ladies and gentleman, I’m lily. Today I’d like to introduce some interesting psychological facts to you. What are psychological facts? Here are some examples;
1.People See What They Expect To See
2.What People Look At On a Picture Or Screen Depends On What You Say To Them
3.You are more likely to Choose And Vote For The First One On The List
Believe it or not, They are facts. Why will these facts happen? Because we often receive physiological hint in our daily life.
Psychological hint is the most common psychological phenomenon in our daily life. It is always sent by people or the environment to the individual in a very natural way. Then individual inadvertently accept this kind of information and respond accordingly. Psychologist Pavlov said: psychological hint is the most simple as well as the most typical conditioned reflex.
Now I will show you 5 psychological facts based on psychological hint.
1. Colors
You‟ve probably noticed companies such as KFC, Pizza Hut, Domino‟s, McDonald‟s all use red color in the logos. Red is a color associated with excitement and youthfulness. It also stimulates the area of the brain which is responsible for color.
Most of the brands have researched to figure out which color works best to stimulate that particular emotion which can drive the sales of their products. The image below shows few examples.
Yellow: clarity, optimism,warmth Orange: cheerful, friendly, confidence
Red: youthful, bold, excitement Purple: imaginative, creative
Blue:dependable, strength, trust Green:growth, health, peace
Silver: calm, balance
If you want to register a company brand in the future, remember to take colors’psychological hint into consideration.
2. Studies show that you should not tell a child that he/she is “so smart” but instead commend their work.
Effort is a variable that everyone can control. Those kids who have been praised "hardworking" will believe that they can succeed by studying harder. However, smart is a natural ability. So the kids who have been praised “smart”will think whether one can succeed or not is fated. It‟s hard for them to face failure optimistically.
3. You
If you’re in a really heated situation, try to avoid the word “you”.
The word “you” is accusatory and is not going to help.
4. Yourself
If you find a co-worker to be completely wrong about something especially in a meeting or work situation, it’s better to make yourself the point of reference.
For example:
Bad: Tom, I think you have got it completely wrong!!!!!
Better: I don‟t think I und erstood it correctly. From what I understand, it says this _____. Am I wrong on this point?
By saying so, you co-worker may think you are a very kind person.
The last is very practical.
5.Say Yes
If you want someone to say yes to something you’re asking for, here are some options:
Nod as you ask.
Our brains have what are called …mirror neurons‟ which activate to make us mimic other people‟s actions. Sometimes if you nod as you ask, they will also start to nod, which then makes them agree with you.
If you have a big favor to ask, start by asking smaller ones ahead of time. This is called the foot in the door phenomenon. If you ask for small things, then work up to big things, people are more likely to say yes than if you start off with a huge favor.
Inversely, if you are asking for a small favor but still know that they will probably say no, start by asking them for a huge favor. Then when they say no, ask for the smaller one. They‟re more likely to say yes, especially if they feel a bit bad about turning down the first request.
In conclusion, this world is full of magic, the more psychological facts you know, the better your life will be.。
