Social situation can be tough there always seems to be a way that we should handle our interaction with people it gets overwhelming learning how the brain operates can help you understand why people are behaving in certain way and what to do in response of making first good impression to winning an argument.
So in this blog post I will let you know couple of secret tips and tricks one can use in everyday situation and that actually works.
1. Make a better first impression by going first and last- Here's a great tip when it come to making a awesome first impression go first or last this only works when you are in a group but it's definitely worth remembering. Known as the serial position effect this is when people remember you much more clearly if your first or last in a list. This is very helpful in job interviews or when you're meeting a person and want to make a lasting impression.
2. The best way to get someone to do you a favor- There are a number of ways to ask for a favor but the most effective methods are rooted in psychology. The next time you ask a friend to help you out consider making use of the reciprocity effect simply put people are more likely to do you a favor if you've already done something for them in the past. Please don't make this the only reason why you help people but the people you helped the much more likely to return the favor later on when you find yourself in a pinch the could you put out in the world will eventually come back to you.
3. When asking a group of people for help target individuals first- Convincing a single person to help you is hard enough but winning over an entire group is almost impossible at times but if you're smart you'll use the bystander effect to your advantage. Humans are much less likely to help an individual in need if they're part of a group or craft because of this you'll have much more success if you approach members of a group individually gradually convincing everyone and getting the help you need.
4. How to find out who someone really likes -It's always interesting to figure out the strongest connections between people in any group there's always a few people who share a much deeper connection with each other compared to the others sometimes these deeper connections can be romantic ones often it's a little difficult to spot the strong social connections but laughter could be the answer.Studies have shown that when we laugh together in a group will automatically look at those we have an amicable relationship with. We don't always glance at the person you like the most in the group but it's always someone we have a good relationship with.
5. The power of mirroring- Mirroring is when people mimic each other's mannerisms and behaviors usually during conversation. Most of the time we do this unconsciously but if you really want to build trust you might want to give their relationship a little nuts with the power of mirroring. China nodding when they not during conversations or use your hands him their words and a similar style but don't do it immediately or it'll be too obvious research has shown that this technique builds trust and makes the other person feel more comfortable around you.
6. One win an argument just speak faster- Winning an argument isn't always easy and sometimes it helps to have a card up your sleeve. One of the most effective methods might also be one of the simplest just talk faster. Research has shown that when people speak quickly they're generally seen as being more knowledgeable. It's also harder for people to refuse quick fire points because their mind has to work harder to interrupt what we're saying.
7. Remind people they're free to do whatever they want- When people feel free to do whatever they want they'll be more likely to do what you want.People don't like feeling as if they have no choice I've always hated when I was forced to do something against my will. 7 years of piano so if you can create that illusion of choice you'll generally have a better chance of convincing someone to do something you're not even lying to them you're simply reminding them that they're free to do whatever they want of course they knew this deep down but reminding them of the fact makes you seem less pushy and it increases the chance of them agreeing with you it's a simple trick that's totally honest and non manipulative and research has shown that it works wonders.
