Barnum effect: the interpretation of constellations is actually wrong

Little knowledge: What is Barnum effect?

A famous technician named Shoman barnum, when evaluating his performance, said that he was very popular because.

Because there are elements in the program that everyone likes, he makes "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.

According to Zhang Wei, many middle school students are obsessed with and even believe in constellations. The reason for their fascination is that middle school students mistakenly think that constellation prediction makes people feel the same way about fate and personality. Zhang Wei said categorically that the so-called palmistry, physiognomy and astrology are pseudoscience, and this empathy is actually Barnum effect.

According to Barnum effect in psychology, people often think that a general description can accurately reveal their own characteristics. In a classic psychological experiment, the tester thinks that the average of his own results and most people's answers can more accurately express his personality characteristics.

Zhang Wei said that palm reading, physiognomy and astrology make use of the Barnum effect, which makes people unconsciously fall into the trap of "average description". Middle school students' thinking and cognition are not mature enough and are easily controlled by them. (Chen Bin)
