What is psychological suggestion?

Psychological suggestion refers to the psychological characteristics that people generally accept the wishes, psychology, emotions or opinions of the outside world or others, and are thus influenced by them.

The "Lucifer effect" born in the film prototype "Stanford Prison Experiment" is of course. I answered several questions about movies or life, and also comprehensively expounded the specific behaviors influenced by psychological hints. I want to prove from the application of psychological suggestion mentioned by Xu in clinical medicine that "psychological suggestion acts on people's consciousness and drives people to make unconventional behaviors and judgments at certain moments".

Psychological suggestion affects people's behavior, some of which are trivial things in daily life, such as "whether cola drinks Pepsi or not", while others determine the direction of life, even life and death. Sometimes, it is "the last straw that crushed the camel."

The turnover of Coca-Cola has steadily surpassed that of Pepsi for many years. Later, neuroscientists found through fMRI experiments that it was because the packaging and advertising language of Coca-Cola attracted young people to pursue the trend, which led them to be implied that Coca-Cola was better as long as it was framed. In fact, 25% people firmly chose Pepsi after tasting the taste.

That's the excitement of hippocampus and frontal lobe.

Psychological suggestion can largely determine a person's behavior.

Placebo effect and Noxiwave effect.

Placebo effect means that although patients get ineffective treatment, their symptoms are relieved because they "expect" or "believe" that the treatment is effective. Out of subjective expectations, we often "feel" the ideal result. Even if the patient is told the truth about the "placebo", this effect is still being observed.

More obviously, even the doctor's tone and attitude, the environment of the clinic and the color of the medicine can affect the degree of effect.

Psychological factors lead people to be almost superstitious about this treatment and constantly rely on it to comfort themselves. When the mind is satisfied, the body will begin to heal itself.

Hormones and neurotransmitters are its biological basis.

Not to mention emotional factors or diseases that account for a certain proportion.

According to the survey, as many as 50%-60% patients with chronic pain, depression, some heart diseases, gastric ulcer or gastritis and many functional diseases can be relieved by placebo alone.

Because of the psychological suggestion of self, people believe in the magical efficacy of a drug that has no effect.

What is terrible is the "nocebo effect".

Since 198 1, many Miao people in Laos and Vietnam have died in their sleep in the United States. 1 17 people, only 1 people have heart disease.

Medically, they suffer from hereditary arrhythmia. At the same time, Miao people in Southeast Asia have a deep religious belief that if they don't worship for a day, they will lose the protection of God and evil spirits will appear.

As immigrants, they can't keep the frequent worship custom in the past under all kinds of setbacks in their survival. As a result, people who thought they had lost asylum began to have nightmares, and bad psychological conditions arose, with confused thinking, depression and anxiety.

When experiencing "sleep paralysis" (disordered rapid eye movement sleep, brain waves are active, similar to waking state, but muscles are inactivated, and people are often unconscious and even feel the arrival of evil spirits), diseases are induced due to bad psychological state, leading to heart failure and death.

Psychological suggestion intensifies the understanding of the physiological phenomenon of "ghost pressing bed", which leads to potential disease attack.

It is worth noting that after a few years, when the life of the Miao people was stable, this bizarre death disappeared. In other words, nothing will happen without psychological suggestion.

This is the Nosebo effect.

In fact, the concept of "behavior" is not highlighted in the answer. We can understand that people's ideas, attitudes and ideas are changed by psychological hints. In the final analysis, behavior is only the subjective external expression of these ideological levels. Perhaps relying on ineffective drugs is an abnormal behavior, and being immersed in rootless fear all day can also be regarded as behavior. I feel that the limitation of the topic is too great. Even the body that is not completely controlled by consciousness has undergone wonderful changes through psychological suggestion, which can prove its strength better than simple conscious manipulation.
