In this short video, the narrator discusses an experiment wherein some women had scars cosmetically applied to their faces. After the scars were applied, these women were sent into job interviews to see if there was discrimination because of their facial disfigurement.
After the makeup artists applied the scars, the women were shown how they looked in front of a mirror.
On the way out the door to the interview though, the makeup artists said to each woman, "hold on a second, let me touch up your scar." What the "scarred" women didn't know was that, instead of touching up the scar, the makeup artists removed it.
Bottom line, each woman went into an interview thinking their face was disfigured when in fact, there was NO disfigurement.
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?
I have often said 90% of discrimination was perceived not real.
Everyone in that test, apparently.
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.
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. 🙂
Fascinating. BFL…
Yur welcome.;-)

I agree. It’s been programed in.
Yes.
The power of visualization.
If you see yourself as a failure, weak, victim... The odds are that is what you’ll become.
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.
Am I doing something wrong? The link above is a guy talking. Is there a video of the actual experiment?
[[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?
Yes i know, it’s an experiement- it was a joke...
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.
