Subliminal Tapes: Proof of big pile of poo

[everywomanshero]

I found a series of studies by Merikle and Cheerman which proved subliminal tapes are big pile of doo doo.

Subliminal means in the objective since, that is they cannot tell they have perceived it and this has been verified by obtaining chance results when "forced" to answer multiple choice questions regarding it. There is another thing which is subjective, that is people do not report having seen something they actually did for reasons like they might be unsure of if they saw something or not. This scewed earlier results of a study by Marcel (1993).

The gist of these (look them up if you want details) is that if you give out a mixed bag of subliminal tapes to help memory and self-esteem, but label them randomly, people will report a subjective bias, that is they will think they have improved whatever the label says even though no improvement has occured. This is after 30days of listening each day. There were other experiements before this one, but this was the most damning since it used real-world examples in a way that has high ecological validity. There were also labortary tests under tightly controlled studies that proved objective subliminal msgs have no effect.

So I guess they do work! Just in the same way that "positive thoughts" and that kind of crap works.

they only work if you belive they will work,you inplant somthing in your mind.
the part of your mind you have no control over sends the signals,if YOU do not belive it will work, or if you do not belive in your self enough to do the thing,the two will clash..............

From my personal experience with subliminal tapes. They dont work. Total waste of money.
Your probably better off with some hypnotic affirmation type of tapes.
