10 Interesting Psychology Facts which help you in real life
10 Ultimate psychology facts which will help you in real
life
The following are a few very interesting psychological facts
taken from several books/studies based on these areas. I hope you find it
useful, but of-course use it with caution as working of the human mind is one
of those things which we haven’t managed to figure out yet.
1. When
people gets angry at you and start shouting, just stay calm. It will make them
angrier, but soon they will be ashamed about it and is likely to haunt them
longer than you.
2. Did you
know the best choices for a first date are roller coaster, horror film or any
places which will get your adrenaline up? The thing is, when they get their
adrenaline up, they get more excited, heart beats faster and end up thinking
they enjoy spending time with you rather than the activity. But before you do
that, make sure that the other person is into those kind of things. I mean if a
person hates horror movies for whatever reason, please don’t take them to a
horror movie on your first date or else it is going to end very bad for you.
3. Waking
up from the bed in the morning is one of the hardest things known to mankind.
Well, it may not be for all mankind, but it is for me. Here is a tip for making
it easier. Once the alarm wakes you up, before you try to snooze it, just sit
up and pump your fists and shout “YEAH!” This will stop you from going back to
sleep again. Believe me people, it works.
4.
Several studies have come out recently that suggesting you should not tell a
child that he/she is “so smart,” and instead commend their hard work.
Essentially, telling kids they are smart makes them want to perpetuate that
image of themselves and they end up not wanting to improve anymore.
5. If
you’re in a group and everyone starts laughing for some reason, note the person
who looks at you instinctively. It is being said that when a group of people
laugh, a person will instinctively look at someone they feel closest to in that
group.
6. If you
find someone to be completely wrong about something especially in a meeting or
similar situations, it’s better to make yourself the point of reference. For
example:
Bad: Mark, I think you have got it completely wrong.
Good: I don’t think I understood it correctly. From what I
understand, it says this …….. Am I wrong on this point?
7. 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.
8. Try to
address the people you just met using their name. People love being referred by
their name, this will bring them a sense of trust and friendship.
9. If
you’re finding something very hard to learn or you’re trying to learn something
new, try teaching that to your friend. You will find it less boring and as the
other person understands it, you will also learn it properly.
10. If you
ever wanted a big favour from a person you don’t know very well or have
recently got acquainted, don’t ask it yet. First try asking very small favour
like asking for a pen or something like that which you’re sure s/he will be
able to deliver. Then you can ask the big favour you wanted. This is known as
Ben Franklin effect. This is actually called the Foot-In-The-Door Technique.
The Ben Franklin Effect would be more accurate if the person wanted multiple
favours of around the same magnitude.
“A person who has done someone a favour is more likely to do
that person another favour than they would be if they had received a favour
from that person. Similarly, one who harms another is more willing to harm them
again than the victim is to retaliate.” – Source Wiki
