The science of psychology is very popular today because people have begun to communicate more with each other, they are interested in how they can influence each other unnoticed.
Correct construction of communication with a person
Many people do not think about why at some point they cannot get in touch with this or that person.
Psychologists say that in such cases it is worth paying attention to individual moments in the communication process. Most often, it is not enough to use only banal, stock phrases.
It is very important to influence the course of the dialogue with subtle and skillful techniques, thanks to which your interlocutor himself will want to open up during communication.
Basic psychological techniques
Psychologists highlight several psychological tricks that will help you achieve your goal in a conversation.
Call a person by name
This technique will help you quickly win over your interlocutor, since absolutely all people love to hear their name from someone else’s lips.
Release tension before starting a conversation
You can tell a harmless joke, smile. This will help you to dilute the atmosphere between you and relax yourself.
Use the reflection effect
It's subtle, but people are more kind to things that are very similar to them. You can mirror your posture, gestures, and tone of voice.
Open poses
If you are open in your body position (your arms and legs are open), then the person will understand on a non-verbal level that you are ready to talk.
Give compliments
But do them unobtrusively: don’t flatter or overdo it – your interlocutor will immediately hear the falseness in your voice and may become embarrassed.
Give thanks instead of apologizing
The word "thank you" will always sound more positive than the word "sorry". The person may not even be offended by you, but after hearing "sorry" he will automatically tune in to the fact that you were wrong.
If you are suddenly late, say "Thank you for waiting" instead of "Sorry for being late." This will immediately remove all negative emotions.
Use the passive voice
When you point out a person's mistake directly, it pushes them away from you a little and makes them feel rebellious. Instead, communicate your opinion using the passive voice.
It is better to say not "You made a mistake" but "A mistake was made here". This technique will also help you avoid conflicts.
The above techniques are the basis of any conversation between people. Using them skillfully, you will be able to establish contact with almost anyone and avoid unnecessary conflicts and quarrels.
