These are psychology facts which are taken from the most experienced and top level psychologists

1.Smells of family members are similar. This is why the average person does not find family members to be attractive; it’s nature’s way of decreasing genetic mutations.

2. Your brain and your stomach are in constant contact with each other which is why some emotions affect our stomachs physically, especially distress.

3.Excessive stress can alter brain cells, structure and function.

4.Almost 70,000 thoughts a day hit the average human mind.

5.On average it takes 66 days to form a habit.

6.If someone makes eye contact with you for 60% of a conversation they’re bored, 80% and they’re attracted to you and 100% of the time then they are threatening you.

7.When it comes to placebo, studies have found that a capsule works better than a tablet, and a syringe works better than a capsule (in terms of how successful the placebo effect is).

8. A placebo effect can work even when the individual is aware that the substance they are taking is a placebo.

9.Though the placebo effect may trick people into thinking they are becoming healthier, it can also harm them in the sense that once they begin taking medications for things that don’t need it, they develop a resistance to that medication so that when they need it, it no longer works.

10. Since the existence of the internet, fewer people claim to be religious.

11.Chewing gum helps your memory to receive a higher test score.

12. The color purple or more specifically ‘lavender’ creates a soothing effect. It is also a great color to have for your bed spreads.

13. In one of Freud’s psychosexual stages, the phallic stage, children become interested in their own Instruments, their parents, and their friends. Accompanied with this stage is the term ‘penis envy’, this is defined as the female child’s realization/resentment that they do not have a penis.

14.Your Short Term Memory is an actual store in your brain, although it has a much more limited capacity than expected- it lasts approximately 20 seconds and can process five to nine things at one time.

15.The sense of falling involved in a dream actually comes from the brain falling asleep too fast and assuming it is dying. The sensation is essentially the brain giving itself an AED.

16. If you fake a smile, even when you’re in a bad mood, that smile will help you feel better and therefore make you happy.

17.Men are attracted to women with clear skin, bright big eyes, rosy lips, and lustrous hair because they are indicators of health and an optimal partner for reproduction.

18.When you yawn and someone else yawns right after it means they were watching you and\or are attracted to you.

19.It is a myth that humans can only use 10% of their brain at any given point. We can actually utilize somewhere around 35% at once.

20.When focusing hard on a task, the human brain will completely block out other things going on, even if it’s right in front of them. It’s called selective attention.

21.Brains in some individuals produce more chemicals compared to others; this is why some people are considered more emotional than others.

22.Besides being sexually appealing, red is also an aggressive color that causes people to appear more intimidating..

It's now ''Amazing facts'' that is trending on Nairaland.... Thank God !! At least it's better than ''Is it true i look like Papa Wemba''

Nice write-up

I am always happy whenever I read this

jejemanito:
That "Joystick Envy" is fvking hilarious

Ladies in the house is it true?

I'm loving this recent trend of educative posts on NL

You have no idea how blissful I felt seeing up to 5 consecutive mind stimulating posts on frontpage earlier on

Lalasticlala keep up the good work.

Actually that joystick envy stuff has been widely criticised by modern day psychologists. Sigmund Freud lived in a period of widespread misogyny so you could clearly understand how his mind was working. Most likely the only folks who envy the Instruments of the opposite sex are transexuals.

I think that phallic stage stuff has to do with the child being envious of his father and wishing he could c○pulate with his mother. Wtf? Obviously pseudoscience.

Seun so even c●pulate is banned? Na wa o. Just turn nairaland to a monastery.

Cool

I wondered, too. maybe he doesn't know what reply is meant for.

philfearon:

I don't think this one is all true, yawning is transferable. If a person beside you yawns you can easily feel like doing same and then end up yawning.
It doesn't necessarily mean he/she is attracted to you.

wil nt work with those cheap gum, I and my friend tried it during our last papers it actually works we used cloret

i heard this from Sheldon in the big bang theory but i suspect it's a canard: he said that evolution has spiked women's sensitivity to high-pitched noises while they are asleep in order to make it possible for them to be aroused from slumber by a crying baby. meaning you have to speak in a low register while you're around a snoozing woman or she would wake!.

my guess is it's probably one of those pseudo-scientific mumbo jumbo bereft of the sheerest verisimilitude.

cc: philefearon, can you mention me with the Quora link that leads to the afore write-up?. I'd like to read comments made by Quorans. thanks.

lol, to burst your burble, bro no matter the gum you use, it may or may not work as it individual based, it isn't definite, individuals are different so it might work for you with a cheap gum and work for me with an expensive one, the 'gum' isn't the trick, the trick is your 'mind' just so you know, I am a psychological student, so most of the things listed here I am already familiar with and actually have more to add but won't, the gum is a mind thing; if you can comprehend that, you would understand, most Nigerians minds are already on 'more expensive is better', the 'effizy' mindset, the 'swag' mindset and that's why it worked for both you...

true, chewing a gum when preparing will not help if someone do not understands and comprehend the course content

At number 6,what if they are avoiding your gaze entirely?
