Beware of label effect

In psychology, there is a psychological effect called "label effect". Specifically, it is to put a certain trait, attitude, belief or other label on someone, and then ask this person to meet the requirements of the label. After investigation and study, it is found that most of the requests at this time will be agreed. The reason for this phenomenon is that when a person is labeled with a name, he will manage his self-image to keep his behavior consistent with the content of the label. This psychological effect fully embodies people's recognition of their own psychological suggestion, so it is also called suggestion effect.

? In the popular Nezha this summer, villagers labeled Nezha as a monster and a child and looked at him with colored glasses. The children didn't play with him and deliberately alienated him. So he began to become what people thought, raging. This is the vivid embodiment of the label effect. If Nezha's father's resistance to external labels and Nezha's hope for independence had not injected infinite strength into Nezha, he would not have issued "I am not determined by heaven, whether it is a demon or a fairy, I will say it myself!" A sober declaration.

? Children's psychological development and cognitive ability are in the primary stage, and their ability to distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, beautiful and ugly is weak. External influences (whether conscious or unconscious) play a decisive role in the formation of their psychological quality. When a child is aware of others' evaluation of himself, he will subconsciously develop a sense of identity and then shape his own behavior. Therefore, in school education, educators should not easily evaluate students and label children with derogatory terms, so as not to cause unnecessary psychological harm to children and affect their lives.
