Traditional psychology is interested in normative behaviour but Professor Ellen Langer developed the psychology of possibility. She was interested in what can be? In an experiment she gave elderly related words in crossword puzzle to a group of people and that group walked more slowly to an elevator than others who did a normal crossword. She primed people to act like a air force pilots and found that it increased their vision. Hotel Room cleaners were told that everyday they get enough exercise but don’t know that they do. This knowledge helped them to lose weight and get healthier. This reminds me of the verse in the bible ‘Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.’ Invite someone to take a closer look at Christ and his church.
