The Sustainable Health Program hosts Dr. Falah Al-Tamimi, consultant in psychiatry and addiction, founder and president of the Central Mental Health Complex, to shed light on the following file: Slips of the tongue, what do they indicate?

A study says slips of the tongue expose repressed feelings and desires under the influence of psychological pressure

The “Eureka” website indicated that verbal lapses may be verbal, written, or even gestural, and are often related to situations that are more stressful than usual. A slip of the tongue may occur, for example, while giving a sermon or writing it quickly, without having enough time to think. It also It occurs when a person is under the influence of psychological stress or experiences certain feelings such as anger, sadness, and love.

A study conducted on a group of men, some of whom had their fingers connected to electrodes, and others who were near an attractive female researcher wearing a very short skirt and a transparent shirt, revealed that people who thought they would receive electric shocks were more likely to fall into the trap of verbal lapses, while Others were more likely to accidentally say sexual statements to the sexy researcher.

Therefore, the researchers concluded that psychological factors may affect the words we use, in addition to that “repressing” some things may cause them to be revealed unintentionally, according to the psychologist.

Daniel Wegener, who believed that the more we try not to think about something, the more it comes to mind, and the more we think about something, the more likely we are to express it “verbally.”

Finally, I point out that in the same context, researchers at the University of California in 1979 found that slips of the tongue occur most often when individuals are under pressure or when they speak quickly, and from these results they concluded that the unconscious sexual desires that Freud talked about are not the only reason for what happens. It’s called Freudian slip.
