I’ve heard the best way to make friends is not to do favors for others, but to ask people for favors. Sure, many people might reject you, but those who go out of their way to do you a favor will rationalize it to themselves and decide that they really like you. There’s a guy at work who is always asking for help on home improvement projects, and while he’s kind of an abrasive guy, he’s got a lot of friends.
I think I read this in the famous book How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie, but I never read the whole thing and that was about twenty years ago, so I’m not 100% certain that is the correct source.
That sounds partly true of my sister. She managed to get all her friends to pay to take her to Hawaii, every paying her bills because her boss wouldn't give her leave. On the other hand, she is generous to people she likes (and cruel to those she doesn't).
Actually it works only when the persons ego is satisfied while helping that guy out( altruism included), for eg your teacher dedicates time and support to underprivileged person and that person due to help of teacher becomes successful, the teacher becomes best friend of that underprivileged guy. However that guy also becomes teachers best friend because of all support he got. My point is humans can read between the lines (or most of them). So it's not necessary that best way to have friends is to ask them help, but to initiate friendship and spend some good time with them because eventually through course of time the people will get to know each other. (I tried my best to explain it my way and I think my ego is satisfied are we becoming friends now?).
Psychologist: "there's no money in psychology." Marketer(resisting the urge to whistle innocently) : "exactly, no money here. you're always so insightfull'
My boyfriend wanted to do Black Friday and Cyber Monday. I asked him "what do you want?" He couldn't think of anything. I told him "If you can't think of anything then you don't need anything." He he hated me for ruining his Black Friday and Cyber Monday LOL!
@@jahjoeka True, though many girls could use boyfriends like that too. In general I think that the human race should be more like that, regardless of their sex/gender/orientation.
So buy stealing your boyfriends happyness away from him, the in turn made you happy. I think soon your boyfriend will discover he's much happier with a new girlfriend.
5:57 A year or so earlier one of my friends referred an insurance salesman to me. And since my mom told me essentially the same thing, I was already aware of this effect. He wanted to visit me to pitch me some (in hindsight overpriced) insurances, but since my home was/is a complete mess I opted out to invite him to some ice cream last second. When he arrived, he immediately turned this around and invited me. This guy was brilliant. Silver lining, I got a free Sundae.
The fundamental attribution error is when you have a particular feeling, often a shot of endorphins, from an activity but instead of attributing it to the effects of the activity you attribute it to the presence of the person you are with. For instance, seeing a scary movie with someone or doing vigorous exercise with someone, both of which can cause an increase in endorphins, will lead you to believe you like that person just because they were with you when you got a hit of endorphins
Post-purchase rationalization is just one of many ways that the brain comes up with reasons why we did something _after_ deciding to do it. It's a fascinating tidbit of psychology that explains a lot about humanity. Just keep in mind that "we have a reason for everything we do" is still a useful model, particularly for deciding how to judge other people or their actions. So don't expect this to fly as an excuse for bad behavior (even though it _is_ an _explanation.)_
The whole thing about giving someone you don't like a gift and then liking them more and liking a gift less if you got it from someone you don't like is super interesting because it finally put a name to something I've been doing for a quite a while. I've been suffering from an eating disorder for more than a decade now, although it's in remission 95% of the time. 4 years ago I got my first tattoo, which I'd wanted since forever, and I noticed the strange feeling of _loving_ my body intensely, pretty much for the first time, because I loved the tattoo so much. It's a good thing I've always wanted lots of tattoos, because it has been such a powerful way of reclaiming my body and my love for it. Last summer I finally tattooed my stomach after years of deliberation, because that's the part I really fucking hate the most about my body. On the one hand the was the option that I would finally start liking or at least not hating my stomach because I'd put a fucking amazing tattoo which I loved on there. On the other hand there was the risk I'd start to hate the tattoo because I'd put it on my stomach. Luckily for me it worked like every other tattoo I have and I've never felt better about my stomach and my body in general after I got it. I don't see my (in my mind) horrifyingly ugly stomach anymore, I see an amazing tattoo that I love. I've known about cognitive dissonance for so long as I was obsessed with psychology in my teens, and I can spot it pretty well in other, myself ánd ideological groups that I belong to or are attractive to me (and have multiple times stopped myself from being consumed by a destructive ideology because I noticed the cognitive dissonance in their arguments, for example radical feminism ie gender critical ie terfs), but I had completely missed that that was the force behind my eating disorder/tattoo interaction. Thanks man. Now I genuinely know better :D
It is always interesting to me how unconscious aspects of our selves seem to make a lot of the decisions for us and the conscious mind is mostly busy running around trying to find acceptable rationalizations for the things we did done do. Thanks for the labels of Things In Blind Spots and yes a noticeable and very nice step up in production value and aesthetics. Thank you!
This was fantastic. I am always looking for extremely quick and relevant bullet points on subjects I am not familiar with and this is one of the best I have seen. Keep doing what you're doing!
Money will only make you happy if you were only unhappy because you had no money. That's rarely the case. It's why poor people who win lotteries are soon broke. They keep spending hoping to get to happiness. Counseling is what they should spend on first.
@@BearKat49 Yes. No question. We in the west live luxurious lives comparable to what only nobility lived in past ages. Even better because of education, hygiene, clean water and healthcare/ dentistry.
Hey there from Florida. Happy holidays Mr.Better. I'm 17 and this is my forst brand new notification since I subbed last week. You deserve way more subscribers. You really know how to simplify faitly complex ideas and make it compelling.
I remember that as a teenager I wanted people to know my age so I could prove my mental maturity in relation with different topics so I could be taken more seriously. Wherever I said I like Frank Zappa people were in awe, even in my mid twenties. It might be an explanation for why youngsters give away their age on old videos they like, music especially, they seek mature approval, validation.
Ha ha ha this first line cracks me up. I'm a Behavioral psychologist and there is a huge overlap with with behavioral economics. They are like the same field but one focuses on applying to people in all facets of life and the other applies to people specifically in the context of money. As a Behavioral psychologist who is very high up and experienced in my field I'm doing okay but it is true that I will never get wealthy in this field. So true. So sad.
Hey man, you’ve grown so much since I first subbed! (On a different account) I think you were at what like 96k? In a week you were at 150k now look 340,000 subs! Congratulations! You are by far one of my favorite channels. Also, great job on the editing.
This is cool and creepy because I can totally relate to what you’re talking about. I know I’ve done those things, especially the exclusivity effect. In a game, I bought a thing that was exactly the same as one I already had, but since it was a “special” reskin and was only available for a couple days, I paid $30 for a reskin of something I never used in the game. Oh well, now I’ve got something rare at least. And it’s even rarer because I’m pretty sure I’m one of less than 100 idiots who paid thirty bucks for a reskin.
I find your voice seriously addictive. The topics are interesting, the scripts are funny and well written, the editing is fine. But it's that voice that keeps me hitting play. And I'm not even gay lol
The people with those nasty comments are trying to shift their attributes to you, because similar to defensive attribution, they can't tell themselves they are ugly or stupid or losers, but when they see someone else, they criticize them because they don't care and want to distract from their flaws to the nonexistent ones of others. Don't let bad comments like that get you down, because you are a genius and make the most interesting content on RUclips that I have watched.
One interesting double whammy of the toy companies artificially creating scarcity with the big toy of the season is if you've told your child you'd get them a furby/elmo/Hatchimal for Christmas, but the store has run out you will buy them something different. But since you've already told your child you would get them one you're pretty likely to buy them one after Christmas when they're back in stock.
Post-purchase rationalisation for a Furby: "I only bought it for the ferrets to play with..." Frankly, I think that's the *only* reason to purchase a Furby.
This is a baller video! Amazing how different psych- “behavioral economics” reactions chain into one another. The justification ones are particularly good.

From hype beasts inflating the value of limited releases to RUclips sneaker reviewers liking shoes that sneaker companies gift them when typically they’d hate the very same model if they purchased it themselves.
Always enjoy your videos. Keep it up man. You deserve way more subscribers. Totally underrated content. I've learned so much from watching you, and laugh my ass off, so thank you.
@@thotslayer9914 Not really, its more or less looking at those individuals who are thriving in life and what they're doing. A major aspect of it is the illusion more money more happiness. This is not true. While being in poverty and not having enough to get by is linked to unhappiness, there's 0 link and in most cases a negative relationship the more one gets. Making good relationships and being around people who make you feel good. This is just scratching the surface but its a very interesting topic and im so glad I took it in college. I still have the textbook and am letting many of my friends borrow it.
I just wanted to tell you that I love your videos and I can't wait for a new one to come out. Also, thank you for your service and sharing about your families military service. You seem to not want over the top commendation about it ... I admire that so much. My family is also a humble military bunch. It's nice to see that there are other people out there of similar stock. I would love to know more about your education!
You can literally learn everything important by studying all "cognitive biases" but I have to warn you: it might break you. There are like 80 or so cognitive baises and most of them are going to reveal truths that might change how you look at the world. That might not necessarily be a good thing though.
I can confirm the effort thing, I play a game called ark where you can tame and breed dinosaurs (it's cooler than it sounds, trust me) and breeding usually takes a couple days with constant feeding in the start and taking care of the baby so it dosen't die from starvation and I confirm that the dinos you raised yourself are INSTANTLY beloved and special to you.
Well mr. “boo-nye-misca”, truly appreciated the effects and side humor this time. But your ferrets destroying the Ferbie was the best scene to date. Hope your legendaries and everyone else from Patreon are helping feed them. Oh, and you of course ;)
Well you can easily think that you are living your life and you can do whatever the f you want cause who cares in the end our lifes have no real meaning (unless you give it one) and also we will die eventually so who cares but buy your shit rationaly(cause i dont suggest being a dickhead and buy everything you want nilly dilly) cause you dont wanna fail on the financial front
I also sometimes have this buyers remorse for the first week i get to own something on the expensive side but boy if i like that item then it will go away after that short period of time
I enjoyed every minute of this post. I'm not quite sure what kind of dissonance (if any) this is causing, but I DO know that I want more! And your secret is out--you bought the Furby for the ferrets. What a great guy! Do they get to play with Elmo too?
I got a really good gift. It was a white elephant...a plunger with a cord stuck in it. I used the cord to put wiring in my malfunctioning heater in my car, and I used the plunger around the house for years. Best present I ever got, as far as usefulness.
The first year of the Pepsi Points program, the top gift was a mountain bike at 10,000 points. You could buy points for 10 cents each, but I made it my mission to get it done all on points. I was so proud of my bike, right up to the day it was stolen near Lincoln Center, NYC.

From hype beasts inflating the value of limited releases to RUclips sneaker reviewers liking shoes that sneaker companies gift them when typically they’d hate the very same model if they purchased it themselves.
"Don't click away, this is interesting" - the story of my dating life.
Always enjoy your videos. Keep it up man. You deserve way more subscribers. Totally underrated content. I've learned so much from watching you, and laugh my ass off, so thank you.
At first I thought the title said “Bullying Happens”
I really enjoy this guys videos (I’m old) , intelligent, informative and entertaining. Brilliant
I want an hour of footage of your ferrets destroying a Furby for Christmas
Every time I see a Knowing Better video is uploaded it makes my day.
I wonder if Todd Howard experienced cognitive dissonance while marketing Fallout 76...
As long as he's making money with "Skyrim: insert random object edition" he probably could never care
Honestly this is my favorite RUclips page
"There is no money to be made in psychology" all the kids addicted to adderall and SSRI's wouls disagree
I wish I had you as my first psychology professor. I think I would have learned twice as much.
Positive Psychology! Do a video on positive psychology :) its got a sigma to it, but is very useful and improves lives!
@@thotslayer9914 Not really, its more or less looking at those individuals who are thriving in life and what they're doing. A major aspect of it is the illusion more money more happiness. This is not true. While being in poverty and not having enough to get by is linked to unhappiness, there's 0 link and in most cases a negative relationship the more one gets. Making good relationships and being around people who make you feel good. This is just scratching the surface but its a very interesting topic and im so glad I took it in college. I still have the textbook and am letting many of my friends borrow it.
@@thotslayer9914 a valuable minor indeed.
Fantastic video!!!! Never been this early so glad to be a part of your channel and the new mic is definitely doing its job great video!!!!!
No Man's Sky vs Fallout 76. Which developer has more cognitive dissonance?
Hands down 76. HelloGames knew it was bad. Bethesda has tripled down.
Lol
Bethesda is known for their lore not their coding.
@@Estarfigam and oh lore is 76 lacking!
@@Estarfigam then they should have been aware that a constantly online multiplayer shooter wasn't in their wheelhouse.
I just wanted to tell you that I love your videos and I can't wait for a new one to come out. Also, thank you for your service and sharing about your families military service. You seem to not want over the top commendation about it ... I admire that so much. My family is also a humble military bunch. It's nice to see that there are other people out there of similar stock.
I would love to know more about your education!
You should try the Von Restorff effect on sponsors so viewership numbers don't plummet the minute the logo comes on screen.
I appreciate your on-target special effects.
You can literally learn everything important by studying all "cognitive biases" but I have to warn you: it might break you.
There are like 80 or so cognitive baises and most of them are going to reveal truths that might change how you look at the world.
That might not necessarily be a good thing though.
Bring them on! I prefer 80 bitter truths to 80 sweet lies ANYTIME.
Failing your SAN check.
@No Idol 👍
I can confirm the effort thing, I play a game called ark where you can tame and breed dinosaurs (it's cooler than it sounds, trust me) and breeding usually takes a couple days with constant feeding in the start and taking care of the baby so it dosen't die from starvation and I confirm that the dinos you raised yourself are INSTANTLY beloved and special to you.
When he starts talking about Doublethink
🤔
Hey, just finished watching every single video of yours and got to say, they're amazing! Keep up the great stuff man!
2:10 Me realizing the I'm a victim of the IKEA effect as I assemble a robot arm while watching this :|
This is my favorite Channel in this site.
I get your references...cause Im 35 😞 maybe my ferrets would like a Furby for xmas....they usually exhibit the "ungrateful" effect.
😂 "ungrateful effect" 👍😻
Well mr. “boo-nye-misca”, truly appreciated the effects and side humor this time. But your ferrets destroying the Ferbie was the best scene to date. Hope your legendaries and everyone else from Patreon are helping feed them. Oh, and you of course ;)
I wish I could get rid of my buyer's remorse.
@Colonel Forbin I have life remorse.
You sir, deserve a duffel bag
Well you can easily think that you are living your life and you can do whatever the f you want cause who cares in the end our lifes have no real meaning (unless you give it one) and also we will die eventually so who cares but buy your shit rationaly(cause i dont suggest being a dickhead and buy everything you want nilly dilly) cause you dont wanna fail on the financial front
I also sometimes have this buyers remorse for the first week i get to own something on the expensive side but boy if i like that item then it will go away after that short period of time
Man do I have a product for you that will solve all your problems
SWEET JESUS! The quality of these videos is amazing!
Giving....and Jesus... but mostly giving....
You've got it twisted/backwards.
Mostly getting
I enjoyed every minute of this post. I'm not quite sure what kind of dissonance (if any) this is causing, but I DO know that I want more! And your secret is out--you bought the Furby for the ferrets. What a great guy! Do they get to play with Elmo too?

Your Patreon is called the *Ben Franklin Effect?*
ily Knowing Better. Just made my day more enjoyable.
good video memeboi
So true! I remember when I got my Gmail account. When I got it I didn’t want anyone else to have one.
weird collectors, unite!
Hot damn, you’re over 330k subs!! I’m so glad you’re getting the recognition I believe you deserve. Congrats let’s goooo
Wtf you keep pronouncing xpimas wrong again and again
"Psychology doesn't make any money so, we're going to talk about behavioral economics "
The subtle savagery here is phenomenal.
🤣😆
I keep vomiting when I see that Fallout 76 poster in the background ._.
Yeah, that's a whole shitshow.. lol
Gotta love gaming's culture of circle jerking
I mean it’s in a video about psychological manipulation and cognitive dissonance, so it fits
I got a really good gift. It was a white elephant...a plunger with a cord stuck in it.
I used the cord to put wiring in my malfunctioning heater in my car, and I used the plunger around the house for years.
Best present I ever got, as far as usefulness.
Yeet.
I really enjoyed how you sold Brilliant at the end.
Guys, make Drew Durnil play hoi4 with me
FindingBox4338 daddy swisterland is t l essen
You are great! Keep helping us us Know Better!
Been watching your video's like crazy the past couple of days and just wanted to say that they are really, really enjoyable. Thanks
Dude, I love your videos. Thanks so much for making them!
I've know about these findings for a long time but once I started taking them seriously and looking for them I learned about myself.
When your tickle me elmo starts running out of batteries and begins to laugh is the stuff nightmares are made of
Thanks for the video. Well worth the wait as always.
10:00 Life doesn't have enough math homework. Don't I know it! Wish there were more.
thank you for the quick overhaul before my exam !!
I love watching your videos and learning a bunch of things. Keep it up bro
The first year of the Pepsi Points program, the top gift was a mountain bike at 10,000 points. You could buy points for 10 cents each, but I made it my mission to get it done all on points. I was so proud of my bike, right up to the day it was stolen near Lincoln Center, NYC.
I subscribed because you are very intelligent, informative, and hilarious
hey this was a really cool breakdown of gift-giving psychological factors, thanks for the video!
"We all have that one family member who would love to be gifted math homework"
I am that family member. Your recognition of us is heartwarming. Perhaps even statistically significant.
why
I wish I had this during AP psychology. We learned every single thing in this video
I waited 2 Welles for an 11 minute video... ant it was totally worth it!
