认知失调的国庆群众大会演说

 【是谁认知失调,是谁认知协调,大跃进,大转折,新思路,新大道,听了演说后,你是失调还是协调?】
 
一如以往,国庆群众大会的演说又是一个让人,令人认知失调的宣传。认知失调,或者,认知不协调是一种影响,改变,或者持续坚持一种行为的社会心理学。尤其是,得到小恩小惠的人,最容易出现认知失调,这么做的目的,就是让人继续不断的支持行动党。

什么是认知失调?给一块钱和给20块钱的差别,拿了一块钱的人会出现认知失调,而得了20块钱的人却不会。现在,你是否终于明白为何总理部长高官领取高薪不脸红,而一般市民却出现认知失调,怨言多多。
 
下面是美国著名社会心理学家费斯廷格的实验结果:

费斯廷格在一项实验让一些大学生做一项非常乏味的工作,然后给有些学生20元,给另一些学生1元。当问及学生是否喜欢这项工作或感到有趣时,拿1元钱报酬的学生都说这项工作很有趣味;而拿20元的学生则都说这项工作枯燥无味。为什么会出现这种现象呢?费斯廷格在经过认真分析后认为:只拿1元钱的学生面临一个难题:他做了一项枯燥乏味的工作,但几乎没得到奖励,如果他认为这是乏味的工作,那么,他为1元钱而干这活,无疑是个傻子。为了避免这种令人不快的结论,他们改变了对这项工作的看法。这种态度的变化往往是无意识的,然而又是确实发生了。与此相反,拿20元报酬的学生对他们为什么做这项工作的解释,无须顾虑任何问题,因而可以对这项工作做出忠实的判断。
由此可见,人们都需要恢复信心:自己是作了正确的选择、做了正确的事情(Festinger,1957)。http://ite.stu.edu.cn/xdjyjs/xuexilun/charpt7/lesson4/links/link3-2.htm

从这个实验中,你再想想总理的演说,或者,回顾一下过去几十年的国庆演说,从李光耀,吴作栋再到现在的李显龙,你是拿了一块钱的人还是拿了20块钱的人。如果,你没有拿到20块钱,那么是谁拿了这20块钱,是不是行动党政府的总理部长高官们?因此,是谁得了认知失调?是你,人民,还是,行动党的头头和团伙们。

这个看起来,偏向福利,向左走的新道路,大转折,是否是一块钱的认知失调?你想一想组屋政策(对低收入家庭)的改变,教育上的新的小安排,是你的一块钱的认知失调还是他们的20块钱认知协调。甚至细节还未公布的全民保险计划,没有人可以退出的福利安排,到底是一块钱还是20块钱的认知失调诱惑?

因此,下面这些新闻,不是行动党人的认知失调,什么刀枪不入厚脸皮,什么名嘴论证,还有学唱三首歌,这些动作,在中介的大力鼓吹下,就是要让人认知失调。

主流媒体是认知失调的中介

看回上面的实验,在实验中一定要有人一直重覆的告诉学生,不论如何,要告诉下一个参与实验的学生,这个乏味的实验是有趣的。久而久之,那拿一块钱的学生,反正奖励不高,就自己困扰起来,真的以为这个实验是有趣的。但是,拿20块钱的人,奖励高,看得比较清楚,一直坚持实验是乏味的。

没有实验人员这个中介,一直重覆不断的告诉拿一块和20块钱的学生,这个实验是有趣的,学生们又怎么会认知失调呢!因此,你现在明白了新加坡主流媒体是扮演什么角色了吧? 实验要成功,实验人员这个中介是一定要有的。

当我们在思考演说中提到的大跃进,新思路,我们很有必要想一想,是否又在中介的推波助澜下又再陷入认知失调中。我们已经经历太多的认知失调了:


# 两个已经够了,变成现在的不够。 
# 瑞士的生活水准,变成现在的贫富悬殊。 
# 关闭南大和华校,变成现在的所谓双语教育和将来的单语。 
# 集选区是为确保少数种族有国会代表,变成一党继续独大。 
。。。。

认知协调的出现对行动党不利

一直到人口政策的6.9百万这个数字出现,新加坡人的认知才开始协调起来。一直到另一个媒体中介-社交媒体出现,人们的认知才开始出现协调,当然,高素质的在野党人的出现,更是加强人们对改变的信心,心理素质,认知也开始协调起来。因此,行动党害怕这种认知协调,它要想方设法让选民认知失调。或者说,为何补选对行动党不利,因为这种选举,行动党认知失调的策略比较难成功。不过,他在2011总统大选中,却成功的在选民的认知失调中险胜。

但是,当选民的认知协调起来时;相对的,就对行动党不利,因为,它的认知失调策略就会失效。这就是为何行动党政府和主流媒体这个中介,一直要,一定要把这次的国庆演说定调为大跃进大转折,新思路新道路了。

Sub-standard PAP and the Singapore education system

I make a 'policy shift' when I hear the debate of right politics, constructive politics and sub-standard opposition. My original aim is to discuss about “Su Dongbo, Zhang Juzheng and Singapore education system”. The discussion will end with a sub-standard PAP, in particular from the assessment of the quality of PAP potential candidates. Another policy shift is to discuss it like a play, a drama and make it more entertainment rather than a sub-standard political discussion. Act 1 Gangster’s demand Imagine a sense in the Hong Kong's gangster movie (or a godfather movie), the gangsters' master is shouting at his poor opponent and demand him to give a price for his wrong act. The poor guy without any resources can only offer his body or his service to work for the master. Back in his own chamber, the master is still not satisfied and continues to shout 'don't play, play, you think you are hero, you think you are tiger, or superstar or acting ...

EBRC objectives: Stop “Out of Aljunied”, Stop SDP Breakthrough and “Negative-Asset” Ministers.

First of all, we have to congratulate the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee for creating more competitions, especially, multi-cornered competitions in the East. When making changes, EBRC aims to achieve 3 goals: To prevent “Out of Aljunied” for Workers’ Party.  This is the most important objective. To prevent Singapore Democratic Party making any breakthrough in the North and Central.   To look for a solution to retire “negative-asset” ministers or reduce PAP damages. From the reported claims from different political parties, we will expect multi-cornered contests not only in single constituencies but also in group representative constituencies. The PAP hopes to have a repeat of 2011 Presidential Election. Then Tony Tan won the Presidency when he got only 35% of the votes, a narrow win.However, a win is still a win. He did in even in the very last minute, after recounts of votes.    How to achieve multi-cornered contests? By i...

Is Prism Project Another Central Planning of the PAP?

There are 3 scenarios under the Prism Project#1 of Institute of Public Policy.  However, it looks more like the central scenario planning of the People’s Action Party. From the instructional menu of Prism Project Primer #2, participants were guided to a situation in 2022 and they have to imagine, within the Primer framework, to come out with 3 possible scenarios in Jun-Aug 2012.  2022. What a coincidence! Not long ago, PM Lee declared that he would like to hold the prime minister post for another 10 years. The other coincidence is the similarity between the 3 scenarios and the candidates of PE2011. How competitive and sustainable are the 3 scenarios to the people of Singapore and to the PAP?   Will the scenarios produce competitive and sustainable Singapore, Singaporeans or the PAP?  Perhaps, as what the Chinese say: planning cannot always catch up with changes.   And planning sometimes turns out the wrong, bad and unexpected results, espec...
