A good fortune teller _ A good fortune teller's novel

Psychological research shows that it is easy for people to believe in a general description of personality and think that this description is particularly suitable for them. Psychology calls this psychological tendency "Barnum effect". Barnum effect is very common in life. For example, a fortune teller's harmless words can often convince those who ask for help. Actually, these words are suitable for most people. In addition, people who go to fortune-telling have the characteristics of being easily hinted. As long as the fortune teller tries to figure out the inner feelings of the helper, the helper will immediately feel that the fortune teller is "very accurate". (2) the selectivity of perception. People's surroundings are complex and diverse. It is impossible for the brain to perceive all kinds of things at the same time, but always selectively take those novel things as the objects of perception. This phenomenon is called perceptual selectivity. In the process of fortune telling, fortune tellers will make bold predictions about their future, and these predictions sometimes have a sensational effect and attract people's attention. If you tell the truth, it will spread widely, and people will say that fortune telling is really smart; If it is not accurate, people will say that the fortune teller is not at home. Spirit and ineffectiveness are actually the results of people's selective perception and generalization of those mysterious small probability events. (3) Psychologically, fortune tellers are generally in the midst of hesitation and hesitation in life, facing the choice of life. They need to gain self-confidence by gaining others' affirmation, thus gaining strong spiritual support. At this time, fortune tellers "guide the maze" through their own life experiences, satisfy their psychological expectations, give them confidence and courage, make them tend to be positive, eliminate their worries, and finally make a certain breakthrough in life. It can be said that fortune tellers actually use psychological hints to motivate people who are in a confused state. Once the help seeker works hard and succeeds under psychological suggestion, he will think that the fortune teller is accurate and be grateful for it. In a sense, this is one of the reasons why fortune tellers have emerged one after another for thousands of years. In a word, a person's "destiny" is not calculated by a fortune teller, but is influenced by many factors, such as internal factors and external factors. Only through our unremitting efforts can we reach the other side of success.
