Priming! / That would help you with your diet. / Funny experiment.

in #psychology7 years ago (edited)

Today we are looking at an interesting experience from Bruner and Siegrist from 2012.

The experimentees got places in a room in front of a table. On the table were some chocolate pralines.
They told those persons to wait and if they want, they can eat some chocolate till they will lead to the room with the experiment.
What they didn't know is, they already in the test room.
They made 2 groups of the persons.
Group A and Group B.

At the back of the room were some monitors.
They were showing for the Group A the Giacometti sculpture​ from a Swiss artist.
For the Group B, ​the monitors were just showing some colours.

Now what happened​!
Group A which saw the sculpture ​ate​ less chocolate​ then the Group B which just saw some colours.
Because the brain said to the person don't eat​ too​ much or you will not stay thin.

All the information​ is from the book "psychologie" from G. Myers but written in my own words.


As always stay happy
