Airsoft Guns That Shoot Far

Dumbo feather biased (Part II): handling and reliability. Forer effect.



According to wikipedia, the Forer effect or fallacy of personal validation, also called the Barnum effect is the observation that individuals will approve high precision to descriptions of his personality that were allegedly made to them directly, but are really general and vague enough to apply to a broad spectrum of people, as in tarot, horoscopes, palmistry, the seers, soothsayers and futurists.

In this Amazings link, there is an excellent gateway to better understand the Forer effect.
The
Forer effect terminating the overwhelming fact: We are extremely manipulative.

Interestingly manipulation we mean by something else. Our sense of manipulation is the technique of high speed which often precedes a "clack", but ... Are they the only manipulations that we perform? What information is given to the patient when performing a technique of manipulation? Is there manipulation in the manipulation?.



When the Power Balance that was in its heyday, the vendors were doing their demagogic demonstrations on the improvement in stability, balance and flexibility with the bracelet attached. They say comparisons are odious, but we are not outside the game of manipulation.

In general, humans have developed some critical thinking. It is more cheerful and fun to get carried away by the thrill of being with something amazing to be a killjoy skeptical and unbelieving. The physios are themselves sometimes lax training / information we receive.

Those tests, carried out by people with a tie and briefcase, detached from the world of health, were a clear set of manipulation. I remember one of the test was no trunk flexion and repeat with wrist strap. In muscle chains explain some resemblance to the masseter: isquitibiales length was greater after opening the mouth ... Honestly I think the same nonsense. Any stretch that is repeated a second time will increase the range without bracelets and without opening his mouth. That's the game of illusion, magic, deception.

There are hundreds of tests and conditions listed in Physiotherapy that are totally unspecified. The specificity and sensitivity parameters indicates the validity of a test, but a large majority of them do not have those parameters has not been studied for their validity. It would be advisable to dispense with some of them, and if used, be taken into account.



manipulation could be defined as a confirmation bias that the person does consciously. Handling understood as persuasion to convince the subject manipulated, and where social skills, the ability of persuasion, empathy, the image that we keep, and the aesthetics of the site, if it inspires confidence, if it looks serious, if it is a large multidisciplinary clinic or clinic is the Manolo ... is what determines whether it is a good professional. For some, this is marketing and selling techniques and affects all levels of interpersonal communication. Not long ago a College of Physiotherapists offer a course on patient loyalty.

manipulation is morally and ethically reprehensible if not telling the truth. The patients talk about tendons mounted, pinched nerves and vertebrae misplaced, but we should not use the language of the patient, except to communicate with him in any way to counter the argument does not hold and so "loyal" to the patient.

- Ugh, that's where it hurts "is hard?
- ... If you have a few knots. (Anyone says no)

These cases are given less often, but I made up. All things considered, to please the expectations of the patient does not know whether to consider how to manipulate or be manipulated, in any case, a misuse of power.


a cow say it is healthier to eat chicken, whether or not true, it is less credible. There are always vested interests.
