Why We do Dumb or Irrational Things: 10 Brilliant Social Psychology Studies

Thu, 08 Dec 2011 10:10:00 -0500

Ever wondered about this question? Hint: assumptions are a big part of the answer.

For example:

The ‘halo effect’ is a classic finding in social psychology. It is the idea that global evaluations about a person (e.g. she is likeable) bleed over into judgements about their specific traits (e.g. she is intelligent). Hollywood stars demonstrate the halo effect perfectly. Because they are often attractive and likeable we naturally assume they are also intelligent, friendly, display good judgement and so on.

How about an idea muscle game? 1

Unlike Thoughts

A sentence like “food is to the eye like perfume is to the nose” connects different thoughts. Provide a sentence fragment like “food is to eye like” and ask the player to complete it. Once the other person completes the sentence, he is required to come up with another fragment and ask someone else in the class to complete it. This game demonstrates that different thoughts can be connected and it encourages group thinking.
