Maiken Scott: 我一直认为我的生活是我自己决定的,但与 Brian Lowry 的对话改变了我的看法。我意识到我每天都在对别人的输入做出反应,觉得自己像一个弹球,被四处弹射。这让我开始思考,我到底有多少控制权? Brian Lowry: 人的身份和偏好受到周围人的影响。影响我们的不仅仅是家人和朋友,还有我们与周围人的所有互动。重要的是审视自己,思考自己是谁,以及自己有多少控制权。 Nicole Curry: 我讲述了我的朋友 Jasmine 的故事,她彻底改变了,失去了自我。她通过镜像别人来获得认可,但最终迷失了自己。这个故事让我意识到,孤独驱使我们与周围的人建立联系,即使我们没有什么共同之处。 Jasmine Jones: 刚到德州的时候,我还是以前的 Jasmine。我在 Topgolf 工作,公司希望员工营造一种派对氛围。我发现我和各种各样的人相处得都很好,即使是我不喜欢的人。很多人喜欢我,我感觉很好。我开始意识到我确实会做镜像别人的事情,我沉迷于从别人那里获得认可,以至于失去了自我。现在,我知道做真实的自己,并与理解自己的人相处。 Liz Tang: Jasmine 的案例很极端,但镜像行为是我们都会做的。镜像可以帮助我们更好地融入社会,但也会给模仿者和被模仿者带来意想不到的代价。 Wojciech Kulesza: 模仿者被认为更具说服力、更聪明、更有知识。模仿可以快速建立亲密关系,并增加销售额。模仿可以促进亲社会行为,例如提供帮助、捐款和建立信任。但被模仿者会降低自尊,模仿也会占用大量的精力,导致人们犯更多的错误。我们通常在无意识的情况下模仿与自己相似且喜欢的人。喜欢会产生模仿,模仿也会产生喜欢。

Chapters
This chapter explores the extent to which our behaviors and decisions are influenced by the people around us, challenging the notion that we are solely in control of our destinies. It uses a simple experiment of wiggling a finger to illustrate the pervasive influence of external factors on our actions.
  • Our identities, behaviors, and decisions are significantly influenced by interactions with others.
  • The sense of self is socially constructed and influenced by even small interactions.
  • We often behave as if we are in complete control, but it's useful to examine the extent of that control.

There are countless hidden forces that affect how we behave, the choices that we make, and the general shape of our lives. On this episode, we take a deep dive into some of those forces. We hear stories about mirroring and how it affects our interactions, whether implicit bias trainings actually work, and how hierarchies influence productivity.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoices)NPR Privacy Policy)
