There are many interesting facts in psychology which motivate me to write a book about it. The book is simple enough which no further explanation but only fact that you can read and immediate execute it.
Let's me give you an example.
- Semen that may have antidepressant properties
Research shows girls who have sex without condom are less depressed compare to those who are having sex with condom! Gallup, Burch, & Platek (2002)
I guess it is pretty straight forward to understand and know how to apply into your life. Let's see the second one, I love this one!
- Looking someone who sick can boost your immune system! Miller, Gervais, Yager, & Chen. (2010)
Do you really need intense workout or eat healthy (Yes you should but may not necessary intense) to boost your immune system? The easiest way by simply look at a picture or patient that displays disease symptoms!
- Psychopaths are hardly affected by contagious yawning. Rundle, Vaughn, & Stanford (2015).
Contagious yawning is highly linked to empathy, but psychopaths are the people who are selfish, manipulative, and lack of empathy! If next time you want to know the person in front of you is psychopath or not, do some yawning and see if he or she will follow or not, you get the answer then.
Here are the sharing for today, do you have some interesting facts in psychology as well?
