Our Middle Name Is “Linguistics” As In Neuro-Linguistic Programming Part 1 by Dr. Adriana James
Imagine this: you are trying to communicate to someone something of real importance to you. You’re going somewhere with your talk, only to be interrupted before you could even get to half of what you wanted to say and you hear the magic words: “I know what you mean! I understand. ”
How many times have you experienced this scenario before? And how frustrating it is? You’re left hanging in the air with an incomplete communication and a feeling of slight confusion and a little upset: “Wait a minute”, you think, “You did not even hear what I wanted to say” but it is already too late. The person you’re talking to thinks they already know… and they have taken over the conversation which soon goes somewhere else so there is no more room for you to say anything. At the end you’re left with more of a feeling of incompleteness…
Freeing Ourselves from Emotional Manipulation by Dr. Adriana James
Daily Star in the UK and Tech.Slashdot.org were two of the websites reporting recently about an “interesting” experiment run by Facebook regarding emotional response of users.
See it here Facebook ‘scientists’ manipulating newsfeeds to try and control users’ emotions and here Facebook’s Emotion Experiment: Too Far, Or Social Network Norm?
Aside from being a “money tree” or a “money spinner” the “experiment” run by Facebook has major implications and I hope you caught them.
“The findings show that Facebook can have a large impact on users emotions by tinkering their newsfeed. “
“When sad updates appear on a user’s newsfeed, the user responds negatively. “
“And likewise, when an update is happy – the person responds positively. “
“In conclusion, the researchers said: “The results show emotional contagion.“*
*Bold face mine.
Just in case you missed it, the words “emotional contagion” simply means that emotional response of this social media platform could be manipulated. To put it bluntly, your emotional response can be directed (read manipulated) in a certain way. You can be “made” to feel sad, or angry, or depressed, or frustrated… what have you!
