Mind over matter in todays episode Grandpa Bill cites an article re:
Society can mean a small group in our immediate vicinity. It can be our peer groups, friends, and family. It can be our communities or it can be society on larger scales.
In any situation, we tend to look at what others are doing because it gives us confidence that we’re making the best decision when we need to choose what to do.
Group pressure may take different forms, for example bullying, persuasion, teasing, criticism, etc. Conformity is also known as majority influence (or group pressure).
The term conformity is often used to indicate an agreement to the majority position, brought about either by a desire to ‘fit in’ or be liked (normative) or because of a desire to be correct (informational), or simply to conform to a social role (identification).Your mindset can impact your mortality in surprising ways.
The journal Health Psychology recently published a fascinating (and well-written) scientific study suggesting that how fit you think you are affects your risk of death more than how fit you actually are.
Here’s how researchers conducted the analysis
Researchers at Stanford University examined information collected by the National Center for Health Statistics (part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) between 1990 and 2011. This included questionnaire responses, demographics, medical history, physical exam, and physical activity data from over 60,000 very diverse people — a representative sample estimated to reflect over 475 million US adults.
People were asked to rate how active they thought they were, as compared to their peers. The study volunteers’ actual activity was measured in three ways:
how often, how long, and how intensely they had participated in any of a long list of activities
movements measured by wearing an accelerometer for a week
how much physical labor their daily work included, either on the job or in their home.Researchers took into account various measures of health. These included:
how healthy participants thought they were
any high-risk medical conditions (such as high blood pressure, diabetes, heart condition, stroke, and high cholesterol)
any disability
smoking status
body mass index
how many days over the past year they had been sick enough to be in bed
mental health (either a rating of how much stress they experienced, or if they had seen a mental health professional over the past year).BH Sales Kennel Kelp Adah's Animal Products CTFO
