In school, I wonder why students do not read the bulletin for their new schedule. One day I posted "DO NOT READ". I was amaze because there were students reading on the updates newly posted. Reverse psychology may sometimes play the trick. what do you think?

Yes reverse psychology definitely works. It always works on me lol If something is said not to do, it makes me curious about what might happen if I do it and makes me wanna do it more. And yeah it actually happens to most of us. Not actually a good thing though..

it is not a good thing if related to health such as refrain from taking too much oily food, etc. but still eat

Yes, it does. But this also might had something to do with the word "Don't." Some people have this aversion to authority. They hate being told not to do this and that. And to show their rebelliousness, they do whatever they're told not to do.

i think so too:)) it's like a teacher is asking her students to be quiet but they never listen and got very mad at them so she said to her students to keep on talking. that's when they knew she is really angry and quit talking..

Yeah, it's a funny thing though that it really works. ;) I use that almost everyday, specially to my brother. And sometimes I get the result that I wanted whenever I use reverse psychology. :D Even this thread did it. hahaha. :D
