What mental manifestations are called direct and reverse effects of Tinker Bell?

In the theatrical performances of Peter Pan, the Tinker Bell fairy is offered to save the audience from death: they are asked to clap if they believe in fairies, and then the Tinker Bell comes to life. Therefore, the existence of things and phenomena only because people believe in them is sometimes called the Tinker Bell effect. There is also the reverse effect of Tinker Bell, when the more people believe in something, the more likely it is to disappear. For example, when the stereotype that driving is safe is reinforced in the mass consciousness, drivers begin to drive cars more frivolously, thereby increasing the danger on the roads.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

In which country is it common practice to sleep while working in a seated position?

In Japan, the practice of "inemuri" - sleeping in the middle of the day at work and meetings is common. The inemuri practitioner shows how much time he devotes to work and how little sleep at night at home. The Japanese do not consider such behavior shameful also because after a short sleep a person begins to work better. The main rule of inemuri is to remain upright in order to create a sense of involvement in what is happening around.

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Implanted brain stimulator 30.04.2024

In recent years, scientific research in the field of neurotechnology has made enormous progress, opening new horizons for the treatment of various psychiatric and neurological disorders. One of the significant achievements was the creation of the smallest implanted brain stimulator, presented by a laboratory at Rice University. Called Digitally Programmable Over-brain Therapeutic (DOT), this innovative device promises to revolutionize treatments by providing more autonomy and accessibility to patients. The implant, developed in collaboration with Motif Neurotech and clinicians, introduces an innovative approach to brain stimulation. It is powered through an external transmitter using magnetoelectric power transfer, eliminating the need for wires and large batteries typical of existing technologies. This makes the procedure less invasive and provides more opportunities to improve patients' quality of life. In addition to its use in treatment, resist ... >>

The perception of time depends on what one is looking at 29.04.2024

Research in the field of the psychology of time continues to surprise us with its results. Recent discoveries by scientists from George Mason University (USA) turned out to be quite remarkable: they discovered that what we look at can greatly influence our sense of time. During the experiment, 52 participants took a series of tests, estimating the duration of viewing various images. The results were surprising: the size and detail of the images had a significant impact on the perception of time. Larger, less cluttered scenes created the illusion of time slowing down, while smaller, busier images gave the feeling of time speeding up. Researchers suggest that visual clutter or detail overload can make it difficult to perceive the world around us, which in turn can lead to faster perception of time. Thus, it was shown that our perception of time is closely related to what we look at. Larger and smaller ... >>

Accountants - low ceilings 16.08.2007

Psychologist Joan Meyers-Levi, professor of marketing at the University of Minnesota (USA), analyzed the thinking of people working in rooms with a ceiling height of 244 and 305 centimeters.

It turned out that low-ceilinged offices encourage employees to concentrate more on the tasks they perform, work more accurately, and prevent and catch errors. High ceilings in the room help to generate fresh ideas, make long-term plans, and think high.

Thus, the management of the organization should sit in offices with high ceilings, and accountants - with low ones.
