When I think of minus, I feel like I'm losing something.

However, in life, opportunities for reversal always come. So you must be prepared.

1. Effect of bad points on impression

When a person has both good and bad traits, the impression of that person is not neutral. This is because the negative effect on the impression is greater (minus/negative effect). For example, if a politician is clean and If you get the impression that you have convictions and that you do not mind collusion to seize power, your impression of that politician will be it goes to the bad side.

2. Negative psychology

One explanation for this is that negative reviews are more visible than positive ones, so others pay more attention. that it is because Another explanation is that people are more sensitive to losses than to gains. will. Even if you can't make a profit, I think you need to listen more carefully to bad reviews from others if you want to break even. If you hear that someone is good at talking, has a good sense of humor, and is good-looking, but he cheats sometimes, people will call him 'a cheater'. I think. Because that way he can't be harmed by that person.

3. Central Characteristics

On the other hand, there is something called a central trait. These are the things that affect impression more than any other trait. The representative central characteristics are 'cold' and 'warm'. Compare the impression of 'He's a smart, handsome, warm person' with 'He's a smart, handsome, cool person'. Perhaps the person in front is quite likable, but the person in the back sounds like a cold-blooded person. This means that the central characteristic has a greater influence on impression than other characteristics. This is an example that shows just how big and important it is.

4. Stereotypes about people in each country

1) The Chinese are like stone pots.

It is very difficult to heat a tall pot. However, once it gets hot, it seldom cools down. If you think it is cold and touch it incorrectly, you may get burned or suffer physical harm.

2) Middle Easterners (Iran, Iraq, etc.) are synthetic pots.

It is an expression that the outside is hot, but the inside does not get hot.

3) The Englishman is a smoky brass pot.

It's not even burning hot, and it's hard to tell how hot it is on the outside.

4) The Japanese are like silverware.

Even if you apply a little force, it will dent well. However, no matter how dented, it can be straightened out easily.

5) Koreans are like tin pots.

It's easy to heat up, but it's also easy to cool down. Even so, it only makes a loud noise. Everything is only when you put it on fire.

5. Insert into self-made 'frame'

As such, impression formation is not based solely on given information. Everyone has their own 'frame' there is. So we reduce, exaggerate, or distort information so that it fits our 'frame'. One frame in impression formation is 'stereotype'. Stereotypes are 'what kind of people have certain characteristics' It is a kind of belief that 'there is', but there are many things that are not reasonable. In particular, gender, race, occupation, appearance, specific school, region, etc. Stereotypes are all around us. Stereotypes unfortunately don't go away easily. First impressions are influenced by stereotypes, and people who do not fit stereotypes Because the information is not accepted. So stereotypes persist over time.

6. (Note) Attractive people look healthy.

1) Experiment by Professor Michel Kalick in the US

University of Massachusetts psychologist Mikel Kalick and his team conducted 333 interviews with 16 men and women aged 17 to 18, 30, and 58 to 66. They were shown photos and asked to rate their facial attractiveness and health status.

 

2) Judgment that stereotypes are wrong

Evaluators rated the most attractive 17- to 18-year-olds as the healthiest, and the least attractive as the least healthy. However, it was found that facial attractiveness during adolescence had nothing to do with health status during adolescence and after adulthood. Raters were most inaccurate when they rated which teens they found most attractive and those who looked ugliest.

7. Reversing minuses into pluses

1) My happy past self

Once a day, recall only three pleasant memories from your past. Recall happy memories, happy memories. Your depressed mood will surely turn into a happy one.

 

2) From now on, reverse your thinking

"Why can't I work like this?"' There are times when that thought comes to my mind.

However, turn your mind upside down for once. 'Yes, I'm a natural. I've only made a mistake once...' Please turn your thoughts upside down and comfort yourself. If you repeat it countless times, you will feel the results after 30 days. Life is a challenge.

 

3) Accept and encourage yourself

Don't try to force yourself to throw away what you did wrong or what you made mistakes. just accept it And I am confident that I can do better. Then, a clear change begins to occur.
