Human stronger desire for the forbidden

Hello,
Do you know that the desire for the forbidden is in the human genetic system or something of such? Looking at a signpost, 'Don't touch it,' you want to touch the exhibit more. The more the sign 'Don't go in,' the more people enter the lawn. If you don't, it's the human mind that wants to do something strange. Why do you want to do more forbidden? And why would you want to violate coercive instructions from the outside?

Psychologists Fenbaker and Sanders posted a graffiti forbidden sign in a university toilet. One was a strong warning in the name of the University Headquarters, "Graffiti is strictly prohibited!" And the other was a soft tone of warning, "Don't Graffiti." When comparing the two cases, more graffiti was written under the strong ban.

Like this, people tend to do more forbidden behavior, so that the pressure from the outside is strong. Humans have a desire to control themselves and the world around them. Therefore, when they try to control their behavior from the outside, they react strongly and try to restore their desire to control.

The stronger the forbidden warning, the higher the reaction. If there is no warning, it will eventually encourage the backlash of people who will not do graffiti. The ban on 'do not' is very attractive to humans. If you let it be free, if you tell us not to do anything that you will not do, we will look back once more.

If it is a rule that must be followed, and if it is crucial, unconditional coercion not to do is not enough. Rather than unilateral coercion, it should be explained by explaining the need for the rules themselves. If you understand, you will follow the rules voluntarily. This is difficult in a society where only those who are not forced to do so are over repressed.
