Psychological tips and tricks

Whether it is winning an argument or making people comply, here we list down some tried and tested psychological tricks that always work in a relationship.

When someone insults you

If someone insults you, take a pause. And instead of reacting to it, ask them "are you okay".

When someone is lying

If you think someone is lying to you, look at eyes and don't say anything. Chances are that this will make them feel uncomfortable and make them say the truth.

How to win an argument

When you are in an argument-- instead of raising your voice, keep it calm and low. This will make you appear confident and give the other person the impression that you are winning the argument.

Tip to be more confident

Improve your posture. A good posture makes you look and feel more confident in front of others.

The halo effect

Focus on emphasising your partner's positive traits and actions, as this can influence perceptions of their overall character.

The Benjamin Franklin effect

Ask your partner for small favours or advice, as people tend to like others more after they've done something for them.

Building connection

Encourage your partner's active participation in decision-making and problem-solving. This will help foster feelings of autonomy, competence, and investment in the relationship.

Positive reinforcement

Praise and appreciate your partner more often for desirable behaviours to encourage their repetition. Positive reinforcement strengthens bonds and reinforces positive habits.

Building a rapport

Subtly mimic the body language, tone, or speech patterns of the person you're interacting with to establish rapport and build trust with them.

How to make people comply

When making a request, give a reason (even if it's trivial) to increase compliance. People are more likely to comply when they understand the rationale behind a request.
