Some mind-blowing facts about social psychology

Here are some psychological facts that I find pretty amazing. I sure hope that they blow your mind! ;)
How to Increase Your Influence
We think a lot about what we are going to say but not how we are going to say it. One aspect of being influential that plays a big role in how we are perceived is our nonverbal communication. Try using the head tilt. The head tilt is the universal sign for “I’m listening.” People do this naturally in conversations when they are interested in hearing all the details about what’s being said. By tilting your head slightly, you can let others know that you want them to keep talking.
Rapid Feedback
Receiving feedback is a success life-hack. It allows us to improve much more quickly than we would otherwise. Those we consider to be great successes know the importance of receiving input on their performance. Feedback allows us to course correct right away, where it could take months or longer for us to figure out the problem on our own. The takeaway here is not be afraid to ask for help. It can make a big difference in the end.
Psychopathic Tendencies
I find the psychology of a psychopath to be pretty fascinating. Psychopaths are master manipulators because they lack the ability to feel empathy, guilt, conscience or remorse. They will use the people around them to achieve their goals, and they won’t stop or question themselves because they’ll never feel bad about what they are doing. Their grandiose sense of self-worth and their failure to accept responsibility for their actions allow them to take advantage of others again and again.
Have a great day! :)
