Psychological testing shows that

Many psychological studies have shown, even though life exists many faces but trust always exists around us.

Many people believe that the world we live in is full of conflicts and misunderstandings, so people lose faith. Along with that, the science and technology development also shows many aspects of humanity, making each person more and more apart.

However, the following psychological studies will show "trust always exists in each person".

1. Disaster born altruism

We often think that, in large-scale disasters such as terrorist attacks or earthquakes, people are easy to panic, fear and try to preserve their own lives.

However, research has shown the opposite. People not only keep calm in emergency situations but also have the ability to help others.

Disaster more and more people live more altruistic, creating mutual support and solidarity to help us overcome all challenges. This is evident in reality, when people from different countries join hands to help Japan after experiencing the 2011 earthquake and tsunami disaster.

Not only that, researchers at Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany found that even 18-month-old babies had signs of altruism even though they had not been taught social skills before. there.

To draw this conclusion, experts observed 24 18-month-old babies when they asked for help hanging clothes on hooks and re-stacking books. Just 10 seconds of the test, almost all of the children approached and helped.

Felix Warneken, the study author, said: "The results are amazing because these children are still wearing diapers and are almost unable to use the language but they still show their help behavior to people. other".

2. A newborn child has basic morals

Did you know that children who were born are smarter than we imagined? According to researchers at Yale University, even when they were born babies were possessed of intelligence and basic understanding of right and wrong.

To prove this, the experts did an experiment when they took babies around 16 months to see puppets. After that, the experts put the puppets for the children to choose: including the good-looking puppets and evil roles.

Most babies (8/10) choose good puppets. In another study, experts put extra incentives next to each puppet and still asked them to choose. The results are unchanged, most babies ignore the evil role puppets and choose for themselves puppets associated with good roles.

3. We always care and sympathize

The human brain was originally programmed to empathize and share with others. We will react right away if the surrounding loved ones are hurt and moreover, we will also feel like we are hurt ourselves.

Virginia University researchers have done an experiment with young, healthy volunteers. These people are threatened to suffer from electric shocks, experts will monitor their response via MRI devices.

As a result, the activity of the volunteers' brain area is increased when responding to threats. Besides, the brain also displays the same amount of activity when the volunteers see their friends threatened.

In addition, the researchers found that during the experiment, volunteers held their friend's hands to minimize the strain and impact the electric shock.

From the findings, the researchers believe that evolution itself allowed the brain to assimilate, to expand its connection and increase its chances of survival.

4. Good deeds will promote much better action

According to Professor Adam Grant, who works at the Upenn Wharton School of Business, personal interests are not the strongest motivation for people to work. Instead, it is the creation of positive impacts on the lives of people around them that are a strong motivation for each person to try and work.

Grant affirmed this view in a 2007 paper, which he assigned his employees to call for donations at the school.

After reaching out to the students who received the scholarships, the staff spent twice as much time to talk and call for support from these students. As a result, they receive 3 times more donations than normal.

Professor Adam also conducted another study with rescue workers to prove this point. The staff tell the story of their colleagues who spend a lot of time saving lives.

The second group was asked to hear a story about a colleague - also a lifeguard but tried to work just to get rich. As a result, employees who hear stories in the first group have a 40% increase in performance compared to the original.

Through research, the professor concluded that the effects of good jobs will motivate us to do many better things and trust each other more.
