Have you ever been curious about your future or called a phone psychic for answers? If you're wondering how psychics really operate, this article is for you.
Most so-called psychics engage in deception. They often use a technique known as cold reading, an interactive psychological method that gathers information from individuals through verbal and non-verbal cues. These psychics employ psychology tactics that are broadly applicable. For instance, they might claim a person is cursed and offer to lift the curse for a fee, preying on people who often visit psychics when they're feeling down. Offering to remove a "curse" becomes an easy explanation and solution.
Several common tactics are found in psychic readings:
- Observation of Non-Verbal Cues: Psychics skillfully interpret cues like breathing patterns, voice tone, dress, skin color, and body language.
- Fishing for Information: They make statements that appear informative but are actually designed to gather more details. For example, they might say, "I see a man in uniform. Why might that be?"
- Feedback Loop: Psychics reflect what the person wants to hear.
- Broad Statements: They use general statements like, "You seem worried on the outside but insecure inside," which resonate with almost anyone.
The success of a reading often hinges on the sitter's willingness to connect the vague clues provided. Many seek psychics to contact deceased loved ones, and their eagerness makes them more receptive to the psychic's suggestions. Consequently, psychics subtly encourage cooperation. Once trust is established, sitters tend to volunteer more information and clarifications.
While facial expressions and body language can vary across cultures, many psychologists believe certain expressions are universal.
- Signs of Dominance: Dominant individuals often stand tall, speak slowly and infrequently, and maintain prolonged eye contact. Square jaws, a trait linked to testosterone and aggression, also contribute to perceptions of dominance.
- Signs of Submissiveness: Submissive individuals tend to touch themselves more in challenging situations, seeking comfort through physical contact.
The most crucial point to remember is that genuine, powerful psychics do not advertise in the back of a supermarket magazine or offer readings for $1.99.
