有哪些多數(shù)人不知道的心理現(xiàn)象？

Everyone feels pretty much the same way

許多人感覺(jué)上都是一樣

Sit back, relax.

坐下來(lái)，放松

Close your eyes. Listen to my words:

閉上你的眼睛。聽(tīng)我說(shuō)：

You have a great need for other people to like and? admire you. You have a tendency to be critical of yourself. You have a? great deal of unused capacity which you have not turned to your? advantage.你非常需要?jiǎng)e人喜歡你或者仰慕你。你傾向于對(duì)自己很挑剔。你有很多可以轉(zhuǎn)化為優(yōu)點(diǎn)的能力。

While you have some personality weaknesses, you are generally? able to compensate for them. Your sexual adjustment has presented? problems for you. Disciplined and self-controlled outside, you tend to? be worrisome and insecure inside. At times you have serious doubts as to? whether you have made the right decision or done the right thing.你有很多性格的弱點(diǎn)。一般來(lái)說(shuō)你可以彌補(bǔ)它們。你的性調(diào)整還存在著問(wèn)題。自律和自控之外，你內(nèi)心往往令人不安和擔(dān)憂。有時(shí)候你嚴(yán)重懷疑自己是否做了正確的選擇或是做了正確的事。

You prefer a certain amount of change and variety and become? dissatisfied when hemmed in by restrictions and limitations. You pride? yourself as an independent thinker and do not accept others’ statements? without satisfactory proof. You have found it unwise to be too frank in? revealing yourself to others.當(dāng)你遇到局限性和限制時(shí)，可能你更喜歡一些改變和多樣性，會(huì)變的不滿意。你以自己是個(gè)獨(dú)立思考著為榮，不接受別人的擁有令人滿意證據(jù)的陳述。你發(fā)現(xiàn)，太坦率地向別人暴露自己是不明智的。

At times you are extroverted, affable, sociable, while at other? times you are introverted, wary, reserved. Some of your aspirations tend? to be pretty unrealistic. Security is one of your major goals in life.有時(shí)你性格外向、和藹可親、善于交際，而在其他時(shí)候，你性格內(nèi)向、謹(jǐn)慎、保守。你的一些愿望往往是不切實(shí)際的。安全感是你人生的主要目標(biāo)之一。

Does this describe you?? Does it strike uncomfortably close to home?

這些能描述你嗎？這聽(tīng)起來(lái)是不是很不舒服的打擊到你的痛處了？

If you say no, are you telling the truth?? Because over 85% of the? people who hear this, say it applies to them. That just isn’t Americans,? that’s worldwide.

如果你說(shuō)不，你在講真話嗎？因?yàn)槌^(guò)85%的人聽(tīng)到這些，都說(shuō)自己很符合。并不是相對(duì)于美國(guó)人，而是全球。

The Forer Effect

福爾效應(yīng)

What you read above is know as theForer Effector otherwise known as the generic horoscope.? This description was? given in 1948, psychologist Bertram R. Forer to his students telling? them it was crafted individually to them.? He found that on a scale of 0? to 5, the students gave of an average rating of 4.26 as to the? applicability of the statement to their own personality.? In reality, he? gave each one the same statement.

你上面看到的就是巴納姆效應(yīng)或者又叫通用占星術(shù)。此概念是1948年提出的，心理學(xué)家 Bertram R. Forer對(duì)他的學(xué)生說(shuō)，這個(gè)概念對(duì)每一個(gè)人都獨(dú)立適用。他發(fā)現(xiàn)在0到5的范圍內(nèi)，所有的學(xué)生對(duì)這些陳述對(duì)他們自身的符合程度平均分達(dá)到了4.26分。

Now a lot has been made of this study as the tendency for people to? fall for hoaxes. The Forer Effect is also known as the Barnum Effect,? named after the entertainer and hoaxer P.T. Barnum.

這一研究結(jié)果表明，人們傾向于選擇被此欺騙。福爾效應(yīng)也被稱為巴納姆效應(yīng)，以著名的藝人巴納姆命名。

The Human Condition

人的境況

I see this in a different light .? If you actually readForer’s studyof the test.? You will see an interesting statement:

我從另一個(gè)角度看待這個(gè)問(wèn)題。如果你看過(guò)福爾的測(cè)試研究。你會(huì)看到一段特別有趣的陳述。

…an individual is a unique configuration of characteristics each of which can be found in everyone, but in varying degrees…”每個(gè)人在特性方面都有獨(dú)一無(wú)二的配置結(jié)構(gòu)，不過(guò)每個(gè)人身上都有各種特性，只不過(guò)程度不同。

We are so much alike in our dreams, hopes, and thoughts yet we think that it is only us going through the struggles of life.

在我們的夢(mèng)想、希望和思想中，我們都是如此的相似，但我們認(rèn)為只有我們經(jīng)歷生活的斗爭(zhēng)。

Now I am not going to get all meta-physical on you.? My whole point? here is that we all feel the same desires for self-fulfillment.? We all? want to be accepted, yet step outside of what may be called normal in? your world.? Sometimes you feel like breaking loose and other times you? don’t.

現(xiàn)在我不是要和你說(shuō)形而上學(xué)的東西。我的觀點(diǎn)是我們都渴望實(shí)現(xiàn)個(gè)人的抱負(fù)。我們都渴望被別人接受，離你認(rèn)為的正常世界一步之外。有些時(shí)候你感覺(jué)一蹶不振，有些時(shí)候感覺(jué)不到。

Everyone has doubts.? My old teammates in Special Forces while highly? successful often doubted themselves and felt insecure at times.? The? professional sports stars and billionaire business people all are? critical of themselves and doubt whether they made the right decision.

每個(gè)人都有困惑。我的老同學(xué)在特種部隊(duì)，即使非常成功，也經(jīng)常懷疑自己，感覺(jué)沒(méi)有安全感。職業(yè)體育明星和億萬(wàn)富翁仍然會(huì)自我批評(píng)，懷疑自己是否做了正確的決定。

These feelings are normal.? It is the human condition.

這些感覺(jué)是正常的，這就是人的境況

The trick is to understand this and build upon it.? Don’t let your doubts stop you.? Keep driving on. Never quit.

關(guān)鍵是要理解并建立它。不要讓懷疑阻止你。不斷的前行，從不放棄。

It’s okay to not be satisfied at your present level and seek? something new and different.? Everyone wants to make a mark on the world? and leave a lasting legacy.? Most everyone else is feeling the same? way.

尋找新的和不同的東西時(shí)，對(duì)自己當(dāng)前的水平不滿意非常的正常。每個(gè)人都希望在世界上留下一個(gè)永久的典范。幾乎所有人都是這么覺(jué)得的。

The problem occurs when you stifle these feelings and/or think of? yourself as abnormal.? That’s when real frustration and other more? serious things occur.

當(dāng)你抑制這些感覺(jué)，或者認(rèn)為自己不正常時(shí)，問(wèn)題就出現(xiàn)了。這是真正的挫折和其他更嚴(yán)重的事情發(fā)生的時(shí)候。

It’s not important to get it perfect.? The important thing is to get it started.

把它變得完美并不重要。重要的是讓它開(kāi)始。
