Why not talk about their plans

Interesting experiment

silence is Golden

   To lose weight. To learn English. To run every morning. Every time we set a new personal goal, we share this news with friends, parents and colleagues. We tell them that they are going to do such-and-such. Or happily announce that has already begun to do so. Then, in 95% of cases, it turns out that this project is not accomplished. Why it is impossible to talk about his plans? And why objectives are achieved more often, which we do not tell anyone? German psychology Professor Peter Gollwitzer studying this phenomenon for over 15 years. He once conducted an interesting experiment. As a test Gollwitzer selected a group of law students at the University. The aim of experiment: to find out whether public statements about his intentions on achieving personal goals. Gollwitzer made a list of statements like: “I'm going to get from a legal education,” “I'm going to become a successful lawyer” and so on. Each statement the students had to rate on a scale from “Completely agree” to “Completely disagree”. The survey was conducted anonymously. If you wish, you can write your name. Also, in the questionnaires the students were asked to list three specific things that they are going to do to become a successful lawyer. Typical responses were: “I intend to regularly read legal periodicals” or something like that. When the students handed in the questionnaire, Peter Gollwitzer found that the majority of students answered the questions and signed his name. Some even did not fill in the questionnaires and kept their intentions secret.
