An accurate fortune-telling event _ a real fortune-telling event

Why are some fortune tellers accurate? Do you have any suggestions?

"Fortune-telling" is a name that people often say, and it is said to be "numerology analysis" in the Book of Changes. In real life, some people believe in fate, supported by the following objective psychological mechanisms, and sometimes it is normal to be accurate.

1, Barnum effect: psychological research shows that it is easy for people to believe a general description of personality and think that this description is particularly suitable for them. Psychology calls this psychological tendency "Barnum effect". For example, a fortune teller's harmless words can often convince the seeker, but in fact these words are suitable for most people.

2. Selectivity of perception: The human brain always selectively takes the latest and unfamiliar things in the surrounding environment as the object of perception, which is called selectivity of perception. In the process of fortune telling, fortune tellers will make bold predictions about their future. If they are right, 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. Psychological suggestion: Most fortune tellers are in a period of hesitation in life, and they need to gain strong spiritual support by gaining others' affirmation to enhance their self-confidence. At this time, fortune tellers actually use psychological hints to motivate those who have doubts and meet their psychological expectations.
