Experiments reveal that people tend to overestimate others' concern about our defects, that is, when we subjectively think that we have some defects, this mentality will unconsciously affect our behavior and emotions, and it will be repeatedly proved by us until others really think that we are such a defective person.
This requires us to always believe in ourselves, whether there are defects or not, we must unswervingly believe in ourselves and recognize ourselves. With such a firm belief, we can bravely face the setbacks in life and gain the sincere recognition of others.
When we don't know ourselves correctly, our understanding of the world will be biased. In the scar experiment, volunteers saw the scars on their faces in the mirror, but in fact these scars were only drawn by makeup artists and did not really exist. But when volunteers see scars in the mirror, their brains will produce a lot of false positives, which will lead to hallucinations.
This phenomenon also exists in daily life, and our cognition of some things may be misled, leading to our cognition of the whole world being biased. Therefore, we should know ourselves as correctly as possible, not only pay attention to our own shortcomings or deficiencies, but also see our own strengths and weaknesses, so as to communicate with others better.
Application fields of scar experiment:
1, Psychology: Scar experiment is a very classic experiment in psychology, which can help psychologists better understand people's views and attitudes towards physical defects. By observing and recording the behavior and emotional changes of experimental participants, psychologists can evaluate the self-cognition, self-esteem, self-confidence and social skills of volunteers, so as to further explore the influence of these factors on personal mental health.
2. Medicine: Scar experiment can also be applied to medicine, especially in the fields of plastic surgery and rehabilitation medicine. By simulating physical defects, doctors can better understand patients' psychological and emotional reactions, thus providing them with better treatment suggestions and support. In addition, scar experiment can also help doctors evaluate patients' adaptability and rehabilitation ability to physical defects, thus helping them to make more accurate treatment plans.
3. Sociology: Scar experiment also has important application value in sociology. By simulating physical defects, sociologists can study social attitudes and reactions to physical defects. At the same time, the scar experiment can also help sociologists to understand the discrimination and exclusion of disabled people in society and explore how to eliminate these adverse effects in order to promote social inclusion and equality.
