Experiment with two identical flowers. One plant was surrounded by affection, and the second was constantly insulted.
A kind word and a cat is pleased. This is what popular wisdom says. IKEA decided to check if this is really so, and started an interesting experiment lasting 30 days. The organizers suggested that the schoolchildren take care of two identical plants, while one of them needs to be watered, showering with compliments, and the second should be given water, but at the same time verbal abuse, offensive expressions and ridicule should be constantly directed at him. At the end of the month, the guys were surprised with the results, because the plants did not look at all the way they expected to see.
The pupils conscientiously fulfilled the conditions of the experiment.
One of the flowers was lucky enough to grow in love and care. The guys who took patronage over him did not spare compliments in his address, telling how handsome and handsome he is, and how they love him. The second got only sidelong glances and insults. Before the experiment began, many participants were convinced that plants are not sensitive to human relations, that this is inherent only in pets and other people. When the result was announced, they were all sincerely surprised how things really were.
One plant is surrounded by attention, and the other is ignored.
Many participants in the experiment say that it was difficult to listen to how the flower was offended, deep down they felt sorry for the plant. So many negative words flew in his address, but the flower could not turn around and leave, close its ears and not listen. Soon he began to wither before our eyes, the leaves turned yellow and looked lifeless.
The experiment with plants surprised the students.
The purpose of the experiment was simple: to show children that a negative attitude towards a living creature can hurt him. Pots with flowers were in the hall of the school, and each student could approach them at any time. They saw that words hurt, so you need to be responsible for every remark spoken to another creature. Even though the flowers were watered and fertilized in the same way, the difference is striking.
