  10. What’s the point? • Psychology is a kind of Science • You may already know the results, but today you are going to hear the underlying theory • You may not believe it because it is happening unconsciously

  11. What are we going to do today? • Different Kinds of Memories • Cognitive Dissonance • Mere exposure effect • Schachter-Singer Two-Factory Theory of Emotion • Internal/external Justification

  12. What are we going to do today? • Should I or Should I not listen to music while doing my research? • How to like MUN more? • How to get a BD more easily? • Is getting the BD really good for me?

  13. Listening to music while doing research?

  14. Three kinds of memory

  15. Sensory Memory • All the feelings you have right now • You lose it if you don’t pay attention to it • Monkey business illusion

  16. Short Term Memory (Working Memory) • Things you have in mind right now • Digital Span • 4±2 items

  17. Long-term Memory • The “Memory” people talk about • Unconscious • It’s storage is infinite

  18. How do we store/retrieve memory?

  19. Best way to retrieve memories • To know exactly what you want to retrieve • The more familiar the situation is, the more easier you will retrieve it.

  20. NO Listening to music while doing research?

  21. Let’s get back to short-term memory

  22. DR, Statement • Put the most important point at last (especially a long one) • Repeat the important ideas again and again

  23. How to like Model UN more?

  24. Do we really like what we think we like? • Psychologists say NO What we really like What we think we like Cognitive Dissonance What we don’t like

  25. Cognitive Dissonance • Cognitive ：our mind, thinking Dissonance：conflict, incongruity • People have the tendency to solve the conflict between your behavior and your attitude

  26. Cognitive Dissonance Change your Attitude Attitude Conflict Change your Behavior Behavior

  27. Self-Justification is in your everyday life • We tend to see ourselves in a positive way • We have to be smart, we have to make the right decision • The experiment of lying to other participants

  28. What happens if you don’t like MUN? • You participating in MUN lectures, activities and conferences. • How come that I took part in an activity that I don’t like? • I think it’s because of MUN is a great activity to participate, that’s why.

  29. What happens if you can’t choose between xxsec and ModelUN? • You participating in MUN lectures, activities and conferences. • You look for evidence that proves you made the right decision • You like MUN

  30. PARTICIPATEINMUN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 11/17field trip 11/18,20,22 Mock

  31. PARTICIPATEINMUN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  32. After participating in it… • Make it intense • Fierce debate in conferences • Full participation in Activities • Feel stressed and anxious about the try-out

  33. Two-Factor Theory

  34. What happens if there are no clues • You find a clue for yourself • Sometimes (most of the time) is wrong • Misattribution of Arousal (sometimes happens even if there is a clue) • Suspended Bridge Experiment

  35. Suspended Bridge Experiment

  36. Two-Factor Theory X MUN • You got aroused • You misattributed to MUN conferences, activities (sometimes) • You have higher possibilities to like MUN more !!!!!

  37. How to like Model UN more? Participate (Cognitive Dissonance) Make it intense (two-factor theory) “Unconsciously”

  38. Should I get one?

  39. How do Iget one? • Do your research • Try to speak more • Write some documents • Negotiate with other delegates • ……

  40. Before we start… • This only works significantly when you have done the aforementioned things • Some people don’t believe this (because this works in their unconscious)

  41. Mere Exposure Effect • You have the tendency to like the things that appear more frequently • Including objects, people, ideas, minds……

  42. In MUN conferences • Speak in moderated caucus • Talk to the Dais in unmods or suspension • Change your flash drive into your country’s name • Wear a tie or something that can show your country

  43. Why shouldn’t Iget one? • Some people go to MUN conference for that BD, but they forget the essence of MUN is to learn to solve problems and make the world better • Rewards harm intrinsic motivations

  44. Extrinsic motivations • Rewards • Punishment • It don’t last long after the extrinsic stimulus disappears

  45. Intrinsic motivations • Curiosity • Self-Esteem • It lasts longer, it does not need a stimulus

  46. Rewards (such as BD) • Converting intrinsic motivations into extrinsic motivations • Encourages those who don’t have intrinsic motivations

  47. Should I get one? You will get it if you deserves it It shouldn’t be your ultimate goal

  48. Conclusion Psychology can help you explain a lot of things, but the most important thing is to believe in what you do Don’t let anything harm your intrinsic motivation, always try to remember your initial thoughts Participate in MUN, I’m sure that you won’t regret at last.
