Do Subliminal Messages Affect Human Behavior?

This video discusses the concept of subliminal messages. Subliminal messaging is based on psychodynamic theory, specifically the role of the conscious, subconscious, and unconscious mind. Subliminal messages are below the Absolute Threshold Level for the conscious mind. Supraliminal messages are above the Absolute Threshold Level for the conscious mind and are often confused subliminal messages. Subliminal messages may have a small effect on human behavior, but not as pronounced as supraliminal messages.

Personally, I agree with you. There are many occasions where I am watching tv or I am not completely aware of what's going on and I will smell or see a commercial about food, and then next thing you know, I am craving that food. It shows us how powerful our mind is.

I had never heard of suprabliminal messages before this video. I can see that I have confused them with subliminal messages. Very interesting!

I had no idea that there was a difference between subliminal and suprabliminal messages! I think the average person confuses the two. Very interesting.

This video is very educative because I have always been of the idea that subliminal messages do affect behavior. It's interesting to learn about supraliminal messages that we are aware of which seem to affect behavior

Truly a very interesting video Dr Grande. Thank you for the educational resources.

The wine example seems more like influence of the environment, adhering to social cues in a way like the way priming influences people.

So… all those decades of buying and listening to subliminal audio programs has been a total waste of time and money. No wonder that I wasn’t helped by them.

[observer]

Also, what about over the longer term. Like influencing yourself daily with these inputs. Making them part of your environment to influence you? Just a thought.

I definitely mistook supraliminal for subliminal in certain situations. I don’t think that subliminal messages affect people in a huge way, but could possibly over time depending on exposure. I watched a short film on subliminal messaging in disney films and the claimed intent never effected me what so ever. I guess it depends.

Sir are subliminal use is harmful or dangerous for body....does it damage internal part of body and brain...

[averageanime]

I've watched a video of that kind of stuff, and after mabe two days of watching it My stomach hurted so much I don't know what happend..

[joseliz]

thank you for sharing this. Do subliminal messages manifest themselves in occurrences that are more normative and automatic? for example, if i experience anxiety, it some times manifests in my dreams. Is my desire to eat certain foods or buy certain products done because of potential subliminal messages

[davidsweeney]

Excellent, very interesting. Does the term hypnosis fit in here? Is it possible for a person's environment to cause a hypnotic state by supra- or sub-liminal messages?

[barritaylor]

If they are ineffective why are they illegal in theaters for selling popcorn etc…
What outlaw something that isn’t

[PartsUnknownn]
