What are some of the most awesome psychological facts?

 

• Pay attention to body language- where the feet point, where the eyes are looking, positioning of the arms. It can be very telling of their mood.

• People try to hand you things when selling or advertising because the act of physical reception makes you more likely to pay attention/donate/buy.

• Car salesmen and the like will often offer drinks or snacks or something when opening the interactions. Receiving them makes you more likely to buy. Lots of sales positions rely psychological manipulation.

• When on the phone, the person who first hangs up has the upper hand during the next conversation, be it in person or on the phone.

• Eye contact and silence carry a lot of weight. Becoming fluent in either can impact your presence among others.

• The touching of arms, hands, or shoulders is a 'power move', used to assert dominance. This is why the man in the suit will often put his hand around the other's back while reprimanding or commending him.

• The upper-left portion of a photograph is the position of priority- given our habit of reading left to right, that is where our eyes are drawn first. Politicians will often vie for this position when photographs are being taken.

• Others will come to you if you make a slight motion with your fingers and eyes, similar to a dog. Continued use of this in the proper circumstances will lead to them often looking to you. This is known as behavioral conditioning.

• When entering a crowded room filled with people you don't know, glance in a direction and give a smile and head nod, as if acknowledging someone. Anyone watching will assume you know someone, and you can use the 'momentum' from the imaginary to move directly into engaging someone real.

• When in an unfamiliar situation, physically rearranging something can give a sense of control. The act of exerting power over something, even if it's just the book on the coffeetable, can iprove your confidence.

• Misdirection is incredible. Even a glance towards something behind someone or off to the side is enough to let you slip away.

• Confidence is more incredible. It is possible to bypass confrontation with a brazen display of fearlessness. Sounds stupid, but it's known as 'bluffing', and is ingrained in us.

• You can use vague references to get in close with people you don't know. 'Hey man, weren't you at (X)?" Whether true or not, it can lead to more conversation.

• When you have something that you need to do but keep putting off, force yourself to do it for 5 minutes, with the option of quitting afterwards. By then you will usually have reengaged your brain from 'procrastinate' into 'production', and can do your thing.

What are some interesting psychological experiments?

 This is called the Napkin Experiment.

Next time you have a party at work or home, try this and see for yourself.

The first time, put these common/regular napkins in a bunch for the guests to use.

Watch them abuse these napkins, just pulling them out as they please, in any numbers. Most people will take more than one. They will trash this napkin without care and get more as needed.

The second time, use these instead. Nothing really fancy here compared to the previous napkin - just a different, bright color.

Watch the difference this time. People will treat them as special, being careful to just pull one at a time. They will also preserve this napkin longer.

People automatically assign importance when something appears different or fancier than what they are used to.

This is also the same principle where well dressed people are usually treated better.

Be different, in a good way, to be treated special.

7. Women have thinner skin than men, and are thus more prone to develop lines and wrinkles as they lose collagen from aging. Men also have a higher collagen density, which makes them look younger longer.

8. While Men have physically larger brains than women, size does not directly correlate with intelligence. What’s learned by experience or study helps forge neuronal connections, which in turn determines intelligence.

9. Women have an average life expectancy that is 5.3 years longer than men, largely due to better immunity, reduced risk for blood disease, and lower risk taking.

10. If anyone calls girls after their name, they like it very much.

When you read a novel or listen to a story about people you’ve never met, or places you’ve never visited, the brain starts to form mental images and pictures of the people and places to help you understand the story. The only way the brain can understand stories or abstract concepts is by forming mental images and pictures and then comparing then with pictures of real people and places you’ve seen, visited or read about before.
4. The easiest way to understand anything is to form a mental image or picture of the thing. This method can be used to explain very complex concepts even to people who are very illiterate and cannot read or write.

Just increase your pace or start running steadily without running too fast while staring at a spot just above the heads of the people walking towards you and avoiding the people walking in your direction. The most natural thing for them to do is to give you way urgently, thinking that you’re in a desperate rush for something very important. The worst you can get are a few curses but you get the point.
