Why is it that individuals tend to fall in love near the ocean? This topic was brought up by Professor Daniel Gilbert, and his students instantly began debating it.

Harvard University students particularly enjoy Professor Gilbert's psychology classes because, in their minds, Professor Gilbert is not only a well-known psychologist but also has a profound comprehension of and expertise in emotional psychology, which is the most unpredictable psychological phenomenon.

According to Professor Gilbert, sitting on the beach with close friends or close lovers, listening to music, playing beach volleyball, dancing, or simply watching the sunset by the sea will all improve the relationship between lovers or friends. The blue sea and soft sand beach will also always cause people to daydream endlessly.

Whether they are coworkers, friends, or even new friends, Professor Gilbert thinks that if a man and a woman go to the beach together, their friendship may turn into something more. This was explained by Professor Gilbert using an experiment by Russian psychologist Pavlov Ivan Petrovich. The Pavlov dog experiment is a well-known example of psychological conditioning.

Don't believe it; many facts may be right in front of your eyes. Celestine Anslow, the husband, and Bartley Astaire, the wife, live in a small town near Arizona. Despite being married for over ten years, they are still very affectionate and rarely argue.

What's interesting is that before they met by chance at the beach, they didn't have any feelings for each other; they were just ordinary colleagues. After that encounter at the beach, their relationship heated up dramatically. "I have never discovered that Anslow's smile is so clean and charming, just like the water in the sea," his wife Astil says. Anslow also stated that Astil was at the beach. She was much more beautiful and tender than usual, though Astaire claimed she was the same as usual at the beach and did not intentionally treat Anslow tenderly. In fact, this is the embodiment of the conditioned reflex principle.

Of course, this type of "connection" won't just give people a positive opinion of you; if you and the other person are put in a difficult situation, you'll also have a negative view of them. Actually, it's not difficult to understand this psychological principle: if you're in a crowded, noisy setting, you'll probably feel a little restless. This restlessness will undoubtedly impact other people's moods, making you feel even more restless. Become repulsed by others in your vicinity. Some scientists have also used experimentation to support their findings: Allow two sets of test participants to stay in rooms that are both comfortable and unbearably hot, and then allow them to assess the persons who are in the same room with themselves.

According to the experiment's findings, individuals are more content and rate other people higher when they are in a setting with a comfortable temperature. People in a heated climate are, nevertheless, not highly regarded. why? The heat will make individuals irritated and unwittingly give others a bad review because they are uncomfortable. According to scientists, this is both the beneficial and harmful effect of human-conditioned reflex psychology on the environment. Therefore, the researchers noted that if you want to meet the person you like, you must select a better atmosphereshould never go with a setting that makes folks uneasy. According to Professor Gilbert, this is an example of the environment's promotion and promotion roles in the development of human conditioned reflex psychology. The environment functions as a catalyst in front of human reaction psychology that has been trained. Therefore, it is crucial to pick a suitable and comfortable location when participating in various social activities.
