Five Psychological Facts

hey everyone I'm Daksh from guide for everything and today we are going to learn about
five psychological facts that will
blow your mind now let's begin.

1. The dunning-kruger effect:-

In 1999 two social psychologists discovered something about intelligent people they rarely think they're smart in fact they often rank themselves way below average on the other hand people with low intelligence do the exact opposite they almost always overestimate their rank by a longshot the dunning-kruger effect basically proves the old adage ignorance is bliss.
let's say you're trying to learn how to draw when you finish your first drawing you'll probably think you're great at it but once you practice and realize how much you don't know you won't think you're very good anymore this is why people with low intelligence often rate themselves so highly they don't understand how little they know just look at the man who inspired Dunning and
Kruger 's original experiment he decided to put lemon juice on his face in order to rob banks since lemon juice is used to make invisible ink he believed he was completely invisible to the bank's cameras of course that wasn't true he just had high expectations and no knowledge so he thought of himself as a genius.

2. remember remembering :-

what's your earliest memory you might remember playing with your parents in the park or one of your first birthdays but can you actually remember that far back neuro scientists recently discovered that your memory works a lot differently than most people think when you think back to that early memory your mind isn't jumping back in time it's remembering the last time you remembered in other words your memory is like playing telephone every time you re remember something it changes a little bit more eventually you won't be able to tell what actually happened and what you added along the way.

3. music changes perception :-

the type of music you listen to actually affects how you view the world around you we all know that music can change your mood an upbeat song can leave you feeling on top of the world while a sad one can send you into a downward spiral but that's not all a 2011 study looked at whether or not music could affect the way you perceive your environment subjects were asked to identify happy and sad faces while different songs played turns out people google to recognize happy faces during sad songs and vice versa the music was making them see things that weren't there it created something called a perceptual expectation when you hear one thing through your ears your brain will expect to see something similar through your eyes this is why music can improve a workout or help after a breakup it sets the tone by creating that perceptual expectation.

4.foreign language logic :- 

we all make bad decisions but what if I told you that you could think more rationally if you do it in another language a study from the University of Chicago found that people make more logical choices when using a second language our reasoning skills are divided into two parts one is
systematic and logical while the other is unconscious and emotional when you use your first language you let that emotional side take over your biases and knee-jerk reactions cloud your judgment when you use a less natural language that rational side steps in you're forced to put more thought into what you say next time you're about to accept a new job or make a big purchase frame it in a different language then you'll know whether or not it's actually a good idea.

5. singing reduces anxiety:-

singing in the car or shower is a great way to fend off anxiety and depression let's say you're driving into work you're about to give the most important presentation of your life naturally you're a nervous wreck so how can you keep yourself calm turn on your favorite song and sing as loud as you can it sounds ridiculous but singing floods your brain with endorphins and oxytocin both of them relieve stress and improve your mood they make you feel comfortable while keeping your heartrate and cortisol levels low and don't worry you don't have to be good even if you're the worst singer in the world like me belting it can reduce anxiety and turn your day around.
