Did you know that showing your flaws can actually make people like you more? DrMarinaHarris explains.
in the 1960s, in which people answered trivia questions. Those who made a small blunder , were rated to be more likable than people who didn’t. However, this was only true for people who answered many trivia questions correctly , not for people who answered an average number of questions correctly. This phenomenon was termed the Pratfall Effect.
The Pratfall Effect shows us that it’s not only okay to be fallible, but it can actually be helpful to us. Vulnerability is endearing. Vulnerability helps us forge connections with others, which is probably why it contributes to likeability. When we understand where someone is coming from and we connect with them, we develop a deep emotional bond and ultimately like them more.You can use this information to your advantage.
. What someone finds endearing in one situation may not transfer to another, and different people might find different qualities more likable.will make you more likable — because you’d probably be wrong. Sometimes the things we dislike the most about ourselves are the most endearing to others. The same can be true for the opposite — sometimes what we like about ourselves isn’t necessarily a quality others appreciate.
Secondly, this study teaches us that vulnerability is a good thing. Sharing the most inner, genuine parts of ourselves can forge meaningful connections we might not have had otherwise. Pretending to be flawless is not something that people find endearing. But opening up, finding meaning, and sharing insecurities in a safe way is something that people connect with.Ultimately, likeability is not as straightforward as you might think.
