Surprising-interesting psychological facts

Psychological phenomena relate to mental processes, behavior, emotions, and physical reactions and are studied through scientific methods. These facts can change the way we understand and help improve our lives. Today we have brought some such interesting and surprising facts for you.

1. Your memories may also be wrong: Your memories are sometimes inaccurate and in such cases the events you “remember” may not actually be real. Psychologists have found in research that memories can change over time, and sometimes we add wrong events to our memories. This is due to the process of “memory reconstruction,” in which you alter your experiences to fit your current mental state.
2. External information to affect memory (Misinformation Effect): This fact shows that external information, such as media reports or another person's statement, can alter your personal memories. For example, one study found that when asking people about an accident “Did you see the windshield of the car in the accident?” So he incorrectly remembered that there was a mirror, when in fact there was not.
3. Your brain feels about the body: When you feel pain or stress, the brain experiences it physically, as if it is experiencing an external attack. This is a “psychophysical effect,” which refers to the way mental states can have physical effects on the body. This is why mental stress can cause problems like high BP or headache.
4. Your body movement can affect your emotions: One study found that if you change your body posture, such as holding your body in a more open and confident manner, it can also change your mental state. For example, people feel more confident when they keep their back straight and head held high.
5. Your brain is already prepared to take decisions: In a study it was found that before you take any decision, it is already prepared in your mind. For example, when you think about buying an item, your brain has already made the “decision” 10 seconds before you make the decision, and you don't realize it.
6. Priming Effect: When you receive a cue before a particular word or idea, it can influence your behavior and decisions. For example, if you are first exposed to “positive” words, you may view other people positively, even if you haven't previously.
7. We make only 5% conscious decisions: Most of our decision making happens subconsciously. According to research, only 5% of the decisions we make come from the “conscious” part of our brain. The rest of the decisions are controlled by the subconscious mind.
8. It is difficult to distinguish between “madness” and normal behavior: There is a theory found in psychology that people who appear normal can sometimes be “crazy” and people who appear mentally unstable can sometimes have normal behavior. People living with mental illnesses can function fully in their normal lives.
