The psychologist named the reasons for trusting good people

The family psychologist said that due to a mistake in thinking, many people endow beautiful people with features that they do not have. She named other reasons for trusting attractive personalities.

Beauty is a subjective concept, everyone understands it in their own way, she says. However, she said, studies have shown that good-looking people have a lot of trust. Due to the so-called "halo effect", an opinion about them is formed in a fraction of a second.

We automatically consider a person who is beautiful on the outside to be beautiful and attribute to her those qualities that she may not have: decency, kindness, sensitivity, the ability to empathize

The doctor explained that the human brain is prone to generalization - it is easier for him to work that way. It's easier to think in stereotypes, because you don't have to think, analyze and make decisions. However, following the first impression of a good-looking person, it is easy to fall for the tricks of a nice con man or a narcissistic personality.

Many, as the psychologist notes, endow beautiful people with the qualities they prefer. "We fantasize, like in a fairy tale, we hope that a person will live up to our expectations, and when it does not happen, we are disappointed," she says. — Therefore, before making hasty conclusions about someone's inner world, it is necessary to talk with him for a longer time. Only in the process can you form an opinion and resolve the issue of trust."
