RE: Psychology Addict # 14 | Evaluative Conditioning – How we come to like & dislike things.
Thanks for sharing. I have experienced this classical conditioning a lot but not necessarily about like or dislike of a person because of their name. It was more about having harmnful unwanted thoughts about people associated with certain items and then having to do some compulsion to try and remove the thoughts.
Hey @timspeer 🙂 thank you for taking the time to read and comment! Yes, it does sound like there is an element of evaluative conditioning in that situation. Intrusive thoughts can be very bothersome, it is important to be careful not to turn to habits that can develop into compulsion when trying to avoid the thoughts, though.
All the best 😌
