psychological facts about human behavior

Hello everyone, and welcome. In this lesson, we'll cover seven fascinating psychological facts regarding how people behave. Let's get going now. There are many individuals in the world who come from various backgrounds, observe various cultures, appreciate various viewpoints, and take various paths. No matter how diverse we may appear, we actually share a lot of things in common on a fundamental level. We are connected psychologically as well as physically by shared traits like having one head, two eyes, ten fingers, and the same number of toes. We all have common behaviors that influence the decisions we make, the people we like, and the objectives we pursue, regardless of where we are on the globe. However, very few individuals are aware of the psychological foundations of our common humanity. Some of the most "human" actions are habitually disregarded, which causes some people to ultimately go against their nature. For instance, if you examine prevalent social standards, you might find that our civilization is built upon major misconceptions about the way that actual people think, feel, and function. In light of this, let's explore fourteen fascinating, and occasionally startling, truths about the fundamental behaviors that define us.

1. The Paradox of the Work Does having money increase or decrease our motivation to work hard? Although you might believe that a large salary will inspire you to work hard, the contrary is frequently true. When they are not paid enough, people often work harder on initiatives. In other words, as odd as it may sound, getting paid may ultimately make you less motivated. Why? because of a shift in your intentions. When you make payment, a project ceases to be a passion endeavor. It loses its core motivation when it is something you do "for the money," which is a significant detriment to it. The best things you do in life won't bring you much money, despite the fact that you might be hoping for a substantial reward.

2. The Expressions Language. There are hundreds of languages spoken by various groups of people today, but only one that almost everyone is familiar with and can understand. The language of expressions is the sole universal tongue on earth. Regardless of someone's origins or upbringing, a smile or a frown conveys a message that we can all understand. Expressions barely differ in language across social classes and civilizations. Why? because psychologically, human expressions are deeply rooted.

3. Development of Psychology You might not be aware of it, but all of your tendencies, inclinations, and instincts have evolved to give you some sort of benefit in your current environment. You might imagine physical characteristics when you hear the word "adaptation," such as how giraffes evolved longer necks so they could consume food from the tallest trees. However, a lot of what you do each day is a result of the same evolutionary process. Therefore, throughout millions of years, what we now refer to as "human behaviors" actually evolved, enabling humans to develop into the successful species that they are today.

4. Involuntary Healing Despite the fact that your body is a remarkably intricate system, many of the activities you do on a daily basis are intended to harm you. In contemporary society, putting one's physical well-being on the line for financial, social, or professional gains is becoming more and more accepted. To advance professionally, you might, for instance, work late into the night, harming both your eyesight and posture. We are fortunate that our bodies are remarkably adept at repairing ourselves. Natural repair processes are always trying to repair and reverse the harm you cause to yourself on a daily basis... and everything is managed, streamlined, and controlled by your brain. Naturally, practically all of these processes take place unintentionally Because we cannot see, hear, or feel these systems, we take them for granted. But without them, we would quickly perish as a result of our self-destructive actions.

5. Music Modifies Perception Your preferred playlist alters how you interpret the outside environment. According to studies, music has a significant impact on how we unconsciously perceive the environment. The same songs may not have the same effects on different people, but music is known to influence mood swings, shifts in viewpoint, and even psychological biases. Consider the music you hear on a daily basis. Which genres are your favorites? What artists do you think have the biggest impact? Each song you listen to has an impact on how you interact with the outside world, even if you rarely pay attention to the music.

6. Infidelity Detector Can you tell a good lie? The truth is that many people believe they are persuasive liars. Others simply don't understand what lying sounds or looks like, thus it's unlikely that you are a skilled liar. In other words, dishonest liars are unaware of their deception. You might not be as excellent a liar as you think unless you've had specialized training or have a lot of experience deceiving others.

7. Moody Fashion Most people unconsciously express their emotions through their attire. When feeling joyful, a person may dress in brighter, softer, and more textured apparel. However, if someone is having a poor day, they might opt for something cozier, darker, and baggier. Even if a person tries to disguise their emotions or mood, their clothing usually reveals more than they want. As a result, pay attention to how others dress every day. You might be able to see a window into someone's true thoughts and sentiments if you can detect small variations in their manner.
