I think many times in life, you have at least once had such a special experience or first impression that you consider it a template or standard to measure and measure the times. after. For example, the first phone may not be as good as the current one, but for you, it is still important and proud every time you talk about it. In fact, in psychology this effect is called the “Duckling Syndrome”. Not only in life, but this effect is also applied in many other fields to attract customers.
In humans, the duckling effect refers to a person viewing an object, experience, or emotion first and using it as a standard pattern. Even if the latter is better, for them, it is not as good as the first, similar to the first love in some people. For example, when you are watching half of a TV series, suddenly one of the actors is replaced by another, you will feel that this new actor will not be as good as the old one. . Just like when you accidentally hear a new song and look it up online, you find that the version you listen to is just a cover, not the original. But because of the initial impression psychology, you will still feel that the original is not as good.
If a person is learning how to use the Linux operating system, there is usually no interest in trying other alternative operating systems. Similarly, some people who are used to Telex typing will find it difficult to force the switch to VNI. This is a big challenge for manufacturers because when users are used to and satisfied with old things, they will lose interest in discovering and accepting new things. In addition, duckling syndrome also plays an important role in creating customer usage habits, although that change may be more suitable for their needs.
Tell me a little bit about your own experience. When I was 8 years old, I went through the first sea tunnel, overwhelmed by the majestic scenery of the marine park, although I have the opportunity to go to more places later, but nowhere can match that image in my life. memory. At the same place many years later, even though I queued for 3 hours in Disney Land just to see a movie less than 10 minutes, it was the best 4D movie and the most beautiful effects I’ve ever seen.
Although this is a syndrome that almost everyone has and is usually not too serious. But if you want to change and avoid, explore many things at once and always give yourself plenty of options to not fall into a certain habit. Besides, you should also push yourself to overcome initial discomfort to try new things and maybe the change will bring many surprises. However, the most important thing is still in ourselves, we need to always be in control and aware of what is good and bad to change to suit the current situation. If we continue to hold outdated views and refuse to change, we will fall behind society and the world.
