What is surprising by this experiment is just how much influence victimhood thinking has on a person.

The same principle of course applies to ALL negative thinking.

Who doesn’t find a restroom or a rear view mirror on their car and do a quick final check before they go into a job interview?

[PeterPrinciple]

I have often said 90% of discrimination was perceived not real.

[coloradan]

Everyone in that test, apparently.

[RoosterRedux]

Oh sheesh. Use your mind.

In a CONTROLLED experiment, the person walks directly from the makeup room (in this case) into a room for the interview.

A controlled experiment isn't a controlled experiment if the women being tested are turned out into the frikken street to wander around before such interview.

Scripture teaches, "For as he thinketh in his heart, so IS he" (emph mine) . . Proverb 23:7

THAT was the entire basis for our deciding to home school last century. We wanted our children to THINK in a certain patterned way (just as the government indoctrination centers do)

America's 21st century problem are parents with bad thought patterns that have indoctrinated their kids with the same thought patterns.

Democrats really can't think Conservatively, their brains are not wired that way, just as a born again Christian can't accept evil . . . . (disclaimer: without being seriously REprogrammed)

Interesting. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

[rlmorel]

><><

I agree. It’s been programed in.

[Red6]

Yes.

The power of visualization.

If you see yourself as a failure, weak, victim... The odds are that is what you’ll become.

Disfiguration is one thing but I'm wondering if the Freeper
Memorial Wall has been abandon? No additions to it in a
couple of years or so. I hope that means no one has passed.

Freeper Memorial Wall

Interesting but is there a citation yet ? I know many people have had trouble finding a copy of the actual data and are wondering if it has even been peer reviewed.

[Nea Wood]

Am I doing something wrong? The link above is a guy talking. Is there a video of the actual experiment?

[Bob434]

[[Bottom line, each woman went into an interview thinking their face was disfigured]]

Um, what woman isn’t going to,check herself out in a mirror every 15 seconds? Or at the very least ask someone “does this scar make me look fat?” Before they go to the interview?

[Bob434]

Yes i know, it’s an experiement- it was a joke...

[RoosterRedux]

IIRC, it is the Dartmouth [College] Experiment. Here's a discussion of it: Perceptions of the impact of negatively valued characteristics on social interaction

And: What You See Is What You Look For

[TornadoAlley3]

Unfortunately many teachers of very young children see themselves as victims and vomit that on to their students everyday.

[TalBlack]

I find it hard to believe that the women, on the way to the interview, wouldn’t get a look at the selves in a mirror or the million and one reflective surfaces one would encounter along the way.
