Interesting Facts - Psychology

As I am having a lot of time browsing the Internet during the week, I have found out many interesting articles and facts about so many different things. I would like to share some of my findings with all of my friends. Here are some of the facts.

[- Decisions -]

According to studies made at Northwestern University, men change their minds two to three times more often than women. Most women, the experiments found, take longer to make a Decision than men do, but once they make a Decision they are more likely to stick to it.


[- Experiments -]

Experiments conducted at several college laboratories demonstrate that hard rock music played to colonies of termites cause the insects to enter a kind of frenzy and to chew through wood at twice their normal rate.


[- Hypnosis -]

The following is a standard test used by many psychiatrists to determine if a person is susceptible to Hypnosis. The patient is told to stand in the center of a room with his/her eyes shut. The tester stands behind him and asks the patient to fall back into his arms without resistance. The tester assures the patient that he/she will not be hurt and tells him to trust the tester completely. If the patient falls back without hesitation, he/she will be easily Hypnotized. If not, he/she won't.

[- Intelligence -]

Females learn to talk earlier, use sentences earlier, and learn to read more quickly than males. Males have a greater incidence of reading disabilities, stutter more, read with less speed and accuracy, and by the time they reach maturity have a smaller vocabulary than females. 

[- IQ -]

Based on the total number of people tested since IQ tests were devised, women have a slightly higher average IQ than men.
