支付宝给你的2018关键词准吗? 这些词用英语怎么说?
昨天,马化腾最不愿意见到的一幕发生了:微信朋友圈变成了支付宝的主场。
支付宝给每一位用户出了一份2017年账单,并且用一个关键字预测了他/她的2018年。情怀满满的蜡笔画,精准的数据统计,展现了用户在2017年衣、食、住、行、公益等方面的开销。
特别是最后生成的关键词,让很多人直呼“太懂我了”!
这是我的关键词
这跟人们觉得星座很准是一个道理,在心理学上有一个专门的说法,叫做“巴纳姆效应”(Barnum effect)。
伯特伦·福勒(Bertram Forer)
“巴纳姆效应”是由心理学家伯特伦·福勒(Bertram Forer)于1948年通过试验证明的一种心理学现象。巴纳姆效应认为人们很容易被一些来自外界的信息所干扰和暗示,进而出现自我知觉上的偏差。那些一般性的、笼统的描述被认为是最准确的、最适合自己的。
我们发现,支付宝给出的预测关键词都是一般性、笼统性的词汇。这些词汇每个人都喜欢,因此大家都会“对号入座”,觉得很准。
我们看看支付宝用了哪些“关键词”:
是不是每一个词都正能量满满?无论是“佛系青年”还是“油腻大叔”,内心深处都十分向往这些美好的东西。所以无论给他们哪个词,他们都会觉得被击中内心,并且忍不住晒朋友圈。
一般来说,朋友圈的“爆点”事件,总会出现“反转”。上午大家还再晒自己的关键词,到了下午,大家又开始晒支付宝关键词出炉的“依据”:
不管是真是假,反正权当支付宝给我们的2018送祝福了
