Yeah.

And it can make the excitement, the uncertainty is exciting.
3:26
But equally, the research from organisations like the National Institute for Health highlight that the majority of unpredictable behaviour actually has negative consequences.
3:37
So that increased level of emotion that is as a result of unpredictability is associated with fearing the worst outcome, for example.

You know, we call that catastrophizing.
3:50
Yeah.

But it's, oh, my goodness, what is going on? I've had the rug pulled from under me.

Okay.

I'm going to start with the obvious.
2:51
So I think it's safe to say that we are exposed to more information now than ever before.
2:55
We've got 24-hour news, we've got social media, we've got information coming at us from all directions.
3:01
And information doesn't just inform, it shapes and it changes our views, both consciously and unconsciously.
3:09
And the amount of information plays a very important role in the mind of the follower.
3:15
And this is known as the illusory truth effect.
