In ancient Greek mythology, Pygmalion fell in love with the statue of the maiden he carved, and eventually moved the goddess of love and made the statue of the maiden a real person. This mythical tale reminds us that praise and expectation have a powerful power to shape the ideal object in our hearts. This "Pygmalion effect" also plays a key role in gender relations.
The Pygmalion Effect reveals the power of expectation. When we have expectations for someone, we unconsciously influence them through our words and actions to gradually conform to our expectations. In a relationship between the sexes, this expectation manifests itself as praise and encouragement to the other person, thus bringing out the best in the other person.
Good men and good women are all boasted about. In the relationship between the sexes, praise and encouragement are important means of cultivating each other's strengths. By discovering and praising each other's strengths, we are able to motivate them to maintain and develop those strengths, which in turn shape our ideal partner.
The application of the Pygmalion effect in the relationship between the sexes is not limited to praise, but also includes the tolerance and guidance of the other person's shortcomings. When we treat each other's shortcomings with understanding and tolerance, we are able to help them overcome their shortcomings and grow into better people.
However, the Pygmalion effect is not a panacea. In a relationship between the sexes, excessive expectations and compliments can lead to stress and dependence on the other person, which can be counterproductive. Therefore, when using the Pygmalion effect, we need to grasp the principle of moderation and avoid interfering too much with the growth of the other party.
In gender relations, the positive role of the Pygmalion effect cannot be ignored. Through praise and anticipation, we can bring out the potential of each other and grow together. At the same time, we also need to pay attention to each other's feelings, avoid over-intervention, and let love thrive in an atmosphere of freedom and respect.
The Pygmalion effect and the idea that good men and women are all praised, reveals the importance of praise and expectation in the relationship between the sexes. In love, let's learn to use praise and expectation to shape the ideal partner, and at the same time pay attention to each other's feelings, grow together, and make love more beautiful.
