Instead of saying 'Just do it,' asking questions increases the probability of action

Good evening, everyone.
Thank you very much for watching among the many options available.
This time, I will talk about why asking questions, rather than saying 'Just do it,' increases the probability of action.


Being told 'Just do it' and ending up not doing it...
There is a scientific basis for this.

For example, have you ever had an experience like this?

*️⃣ Being told 'Just go study!' and ending up not doing it...
*️⃣ Being told 'Just go clean your room' and ending up watching videos instead...

Have you ever had such an experience?
It is a situation that could happen to anyone.
Even if you did it, you might have felt reluctant, thinking, 'Ugh... this is such a hassle...'

At first glance, it seems the problem lies with the person who was told to do it and didn't, but
actually
🈁there is a scientific basis for this.

This is what I will be talking about today.


In conclusion

['Just do it' cannot move people.
It has been proven that asking the other person questions like 'How can you do it?' increases the probability of action]


Doing fun things releases dopamine.
Doing things reluctantly causes the secretion of stress hormones.

Have you ever thought, 'Ugh... this is such a hassle...' after being told 'Just do it'?

Actually, a certain phenomenon is occurring in the brain when this happens.
That is
When feeling 'painful' or 'difficult,' the brain secretes stress hormones (cortisol).

Thiscan lead to a decline in 'memory' and lower motivation.
And, if high levels of cortisol continue, the volume of the hippocampus shrinks.
In other words, brain cells are gradually decreasing.

Therefore,
Doing things reluctantly leads to poor efficiency and poor memory.
In short, when you are told 'Just do it,' you are being helped to secrete stress hormones.

This leads to the following conclusion.

Humans only continue doing things that are fun.

Conversely,
🈁when you feel 'fun' or 'I'll do my best,' the brain chemical 'dopamine' is secreted.
This dopamine is a happiness chemical and acts as a substance that enhances 'concentration' and 'motivation'.

Therefore, the point is how to secrete this dopamine.
Next, I will talk about that method.


Asking questions increases the probability of taking action

What is needed here isto 'ask questions'.

There is also a basis for this.

Anthony Greenwald of Ohio State University conducted an experiment like this.

Content

1. The day before an election, he called people to conduct a survey and asked, 'Will you go to vote tomorrow?'
↓↓↓
Asked them to report back on whether they actually went

2. Pattern for another group
Did not call the day before, but called on the day of the election to ask if they had gone to vote

Results
1. Voter turnout 86.7%
2. Voter turnout 61.5%

As you can see, group 1 was about 25% higher.

In other words
🈁《When you want someone to do something, 'ask a question.' This alone increases the rate at which the other person takes action.》

Also, since they aren't doing it reluctantly, stress hormones are not secreted.
This leads to a pattern of taking initiative, which makes it easier to secrete 'dopamine'.

Therefore,

'Ask the other person a question. (Can you do this?) (How can you do this?) etc.'
↓↓↓
Have the other person answer the question and take initiative to execute it

At this point, the probability of action has already increased
↓↓↓
By feeling 'this is fun' or 'I'll do my best,' 'dopamine' is secreted.
By doing so, you can increase 'concentration' and 'motivation.'
↓↓↓

As a result, it becomes possible to produce high results and productivity.

This flow makes it possible to move the other person while also producing high results.

Therefore,
✳️'If you want to move someone, first try asking a question.'

If you do that, you should surely be able to expect effects like never before.
Please try utilizing this.

I sincerely hope that my article will lead to everyone's future growth.


To summarize

1. 'Just do it' does not work. There is scientific evidence for this.

2. Doing things reluctantly causes stress hormones to be secreted. The key is how much 'dopamine' can be secreted.


3. If you want to move someone, 'ask a question.' By doing so, the probability of action increases, and it produces high results.produces high results.

🈁《Forcing methods only have a negative impact. That is firmly proven by scientific evidence. If you care about the other person, you should ask questions. That is how important questions are.》

That is all.
I will post again on 8/16.

Thank you very much for reading until the end.
