Confirmation bias can also be used to explain this phenomena whereby our brains will unconsciously work to affirm your belief by ignoring instances or experiences that don't align with your idea of being lucky like getting a parking vine. And it's an example of how the beliefs we hold about ourselves therefore impact how we act which actually creates the positive outcome that we expected in the first place.
On this episode we break down the science and psychology of the internet and TikTok sensation of "lucky girl syndrome". We explore the ideas and theories behind self fulfilling prophecies, confirmation bias, goal-oriented behaviour, brain anatomy and the power of positive affirmations on shifting our mindset to reveal whether lucky girl syndrome is fact or fiction, and where ideas of privilege and personality come in.
