What is the difference between Bahrain effect and Barnum effect?

It comes from a famous saying of Mr. Bahrain, the circus manager: Every minute, a fool is born. The "Bahrain effect" explains to some extent why some horoscope or zodiac books and periodicals can "accurately" point out someone's personality. The reason is that the word used to describe personality is actually "humanity" or basically applicable to most people. In other words, the scope of application of these words is so vague that what they say is often equal to nothing. For example, Aquarius is rational, loves freedom, and Cancer is emotional and caring. However, cancer people will never be rational, and Aquarius people will lack love? We don't deny the value of the constellation, after all, it has statistical basis. But if you want to be a smart person and not superstitious about constellations, I have to tell you that you are wrong again! Do you know what it means to be drunk even if you are drunk? Since more than half of the people around you believe in horoscopes, why are you trying to overthrow the ideas rooted in your heart (in fact, this is impossible)? If a couple are not very compatible in astrology, even if they are not superstitious, they will inevitably bear great psychological pressure. In the future communication time, if there is conflict and friction, the existing "really inappropriate" preset will be forcibly established, and eventually it is inevitable to break up!

Barnum effect

A famous technician named Shoman barnum commented on his performance, saying that he was very popular, because the program contained ingredients that everyone liked, so he made "people get cheated every minute". People often think that a generalization and general description of personality reveals their own characteristics very accurately, which is called "Barnum effect" in psychology.

A psychologist completed the Minneapolis Multiphasic Personality Questionnaire (MMPI) for a group of people, and presented two results for participants to judge 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.

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.
