Fortune-telling psychology _ Fortune-telling psychological effect
Fortune-telling has a long tradition in China. Even now, fortune tellers are still very popular, and there are many superstitious fortune tellers. When you go shopping, you often see fortune tellers setting up stalls around the temple. They are men and women. Usually when you pass him, he will say a word to let you pass and then say something else. Usually I ignore this situation. hahaha
So in today's increasingly advanced technology, why is there such a big market for fortune telling?
Fortune-telling is a superstitious activity and also meets people's psychological needs. As far as superstition is concerned, due to the psychological implication of long-term feudal superstition, people can't distinguish the linguistic essence of the uncertain meaning of fortune tellers, and often take the initiative to "sit in the right place", believe in the mysterious color of fortune telling, and seek fairy fortune telling when things happen, in order to obtain some psychological comfort or balance. When you see others being promoted step by step, you feel that your life is hard, so when something happens, you are willing to seek spiritual support from the fortune teller's true and false words.
As far as human psychological mechanism is concerned, people's psychological adjustment ability and crisis tolerance ability are limited. When you encounter difficulties in your life or work, you will feel confused and very eager for someone to guide you, get some emotional comfort and gain some strength to resist the crisis, so as to relieve psychological pressure and achieve psychological balance.
Such a person's fortune-telling is like psychological counseling, but his foothold is not to solve the current specific psychological problems like psychological counseling, but to make predictions about the future life, intoxicated by the general words that fortune tellers can't tell the truth from the false, and believe in the power of their hints.
It is worth noting that at present, people who are interested in fortune telling are not the old people who were influenced by feudal superstitions in their childhood, but the middle-aged people who have received atheism education since childhood under the red flag or the young people who live in the internet age.
In recent years, it is very popular among college students to invite immortals, which is the so-called "game". In fact, they are very pious and regard love and life as the focus of "seeking immortality" This also explains the crisis of teenagers' belief to some extent. Their original beliefs have been lost, but the space of their beliefs has not been supplemented, so they can't navigate with their beliefs when they encounter setbacks or can't act according to their own wishes in their work or life.
Moreover, in recent years, people's expectation of random luck has been affected by the application for a sign in some temples, the fortune-telling of the zodiac in artificial landscapes, the winning of lottery tickets and commodity sales, and their uncertain grasp of life opportunities has promoted the spread and development of fortune-telling activities to a certain extent.
