In psychology, what is the role of phenomena such as constellations?

Everyone likes to talk about themselves.

You're right, it's the Barnum effect.

It is also called Fowler effect in experiment, because it was first proved by psychologist bertram Fowler in 1948. After he finished the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Questionnaire for a group of people, he took out two results and asked the participants to decide which one was their own. In fact, one is the result of the participants themselves and the other is the average result of most people's answers. Participants actually thought that the latter expressed their personality characteristics more accurately.

Conclusion This study tells us that it is easy to convince everyone that a general personality description is especially suitable for him. Even though this description is empty, he still thinks it reflects his personality.

Barnum effect is very common in life. Take fortune telling as an example. After consulting fortune tellers, many people think that what fortune tellers say is "very accurate". In fact, those who turn to fortune tellers are easily influenced. When people are depressed, they lose control of their lives, so their sense of security is also affected. An insecure person's psychological dependence is also greatly enhanced, and the suggestibility is stronger than usual. In addition, fortune tellers are good at trying to figure out people's inner feelings and can understand the feelings of help seekers a little, and help seekers will immediately feel a kind of spiritual comfort. The fortune teller's next general and harmless words can convince the helper.

Try it if you don't believe me. Did you say that you really need others to like you and respect you? You tend to criticize yourself. You have many abilities that can be your strengths, but you also have some shortcomings, but you can usually overcome them. You have some difficulties in communicating with the opposite sex. Although you look calm on the outside, you are really anxious on the inside. You sometimes doubt whether the decision you made or the thing you did was correct. You like some changes in your life and hate being limited. You are proud of being able to think independently, and you won't accept other people's suggestions without sufficient evidence. You think it unwise to expose yourself too much in front of others. Sometimes you are outgoing, kind and sociable, and sometimes you are introverted, cautious and silent. Some of your ambitions are often unrealistic. When most people see this description, they will feel very suitable for themselves: "Yes, yes, I am like this!" In fact, this is a hat suitable for anyone. If your answer is basically "yes", then congratulations, you have been trapped.
