three psychological effects of interpersonal communication
halo effect
halo effect, also known as halo effect, refers to that in interpersonal communication, people often generalize from a certain characteristic of the other party to a series of other related characteristics, and form a complete impression from regional information, that is, make a comprehensive conclusion about others according to the least amount of situations. The so-called "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" refers to this halo effect. The halo effect is actually the result of the generalization and expansion of personal subjective inference. Under the halo effect, once a person's advantages or disadvantages become enlarged, their advantages or disadvantages will retreat behind the light and be ignored by others. Halo effect is also a common phenomenon in college students' interpersonal communication. For example, male and female college students will endow attractive students with more ideal personality characteristics, and often design a bright future for those students who look more attractive.
Projection effect
Projection effect refers to the fact that in interpersonal communication, cognitive people always assume that others have the same tendency as themselves, that is, project their own characteristics on others. The so-called "with the heart of a villain, the belly of a gentleman" reflects one aspect of this projection effect.
Generally speaking, projection can be divided into two types: one is that an individual does not realize that he has certain characteristics and adds them to others. For example, a classmate who is hostile to others always feels that the other person has hatred for himself, and it seems that every move of the other person is provocative. The other is that an individual realizes some unsatisfactory characteristics of himself and adds them to others. For example, in the examination room, students who want to cheat always feel that other students are cheating, and if they don't cheat, they will suffer. It is worth noting that this latter projection often projects some unsatisfactory characteristics of itself on people whom one respects and admires. The logic is: they still have a glorious image with these characteristics, so what's the harm if I have these characteristics. The purpose is to reevaluate one's unsatisfactory characteristics through this projection, so as to achieve a temporary psychological balance.
stereotype effect
stereotype effect refers to the fact that people's cognition and evaluation of others are affected because there are some ideas in their minds. In interpersonal activities, when we recognize others, we often unconsciously produce a prepared mental state and some original ideas, and from this mental state, we recognize and evaluate things according to certain external contacts, so it also produces a set effect. Stereotype effect helps us to make a general understanding of others under certain conditions, but it often leads to cognitive deviation. For example, students from rural areas think that students from cities are well-informed, but cunning and stingy; Students from cities think that students from rural areas are ignorant, but honest and honest.
