'You're preferred by people more than you think' says research
by
Many people have been worried about the reaction of the other person when talking with the person they first met, or have experienced the fact that they can not enter the conversation because they are afraid of rejection. A new study shows that people tend to underestimate how much they like themselves and that they may prefer them more than they think .

A research team by Erica Boothby et al., A postdoctoral fellow who studies psychology and behavioral economics at Cornell University, conducted five studies, and as a result, talked with himself about `` what the conversation partner thinks about himself '' He concluded that there was a gap between his opponents. Researchers call the phenomenon of cognitive illusion that when they have a conversation with a stranger, the other party enjoys the conversation but does not notice it.
In one of the five studies, researchers paired first-in-person subjects with typical questions to ease tensions, such as 'where are you from?' At the end of the conversation, the subject evaluated 'How much do you like the conversation partner?' And 'How much do you think the conversation partner liked you?'
As a result, on average, the self-evaluation of 'how much the other person likes yourself' was lower than the evaluation of 'how much the other person actually likes me'. This means that the subject makes a misprediction about 'how much they like me'. Even when analyzing the actual recorded video of the conversation, it can be seen that the subject did not consider the behavior indicating the 'interest' or 'fun' of the other party. Other studies have shown that people tend to believe that the negative moments that arise in conversations with others create ideas about 'how much they like'.

We also know that this illusion of cognition occurs regardless of long conversations or real world situations. It seems that the illusion of cognition that was actually observed in a study with university student roommates did not disappear for several months thereafter.
As studies conducted to date indicate that ' drivers who drive dangerously dangerously are less conscious ', people basically have their own abilities in various aspects such as driving skills and intelligence. I tend to overtrust. The interesting thing about this study is that contrasting results indicate that people tend to underestimate what they think of themselves, despite their tendency to overestimate their abilities. Is a point.
'When it comes to social interactions and conversations, people tend to be reluctant, unsure of what they are impressing with others and overly critical of their performance 'It was surprising that people were optimistic about conversations in many other areas, but pessimistic about conversations,' the researchers said.
Researchers hypothesize that 'the presence of the other party' may affect self-assessment. This is the hypothesis that when a conversation partner is involved, a person may be more cautious and critical of himself than when no one else rates himself. `` We don't want to think that others like me until we become pessimistic for self-protection and know that it's true that they like him, '' said the researchers. Is.

However, such self-monitoring can keep people who really like you away. 'When you get close to your neighbors, try to build new friendships, or want to impress new colleagues, you need to know what they think of you.' 'System errors in our thinking.' Can have a significant impact on personal and professional life, 'said the researchers.
