state is blindness in love?” This article will discuss.
01 Is the saying “Love is blind” true?
We often say that “love is blind”, then what kind of “blind” is said here? This state is the state of “only
having the person you like in mind”. If you only think about the other person, you will lose your objective
perspective, become less interested in yourself and the world outside of the other person, and make
mistakes in judgment. This is called blindness.
Experiments conducted by William Ickes, a psychologist at the University of Texas in the United States,
reveal the results: when you have a good impression of the other person, you will increase your ability to
observe the other person, and you will be able to read the other person’s emotions more correctly.
A brief summary of the experiment is as follows:
The subjects were 38 couples who met for the first time. They were asked to have a conversation for the
first six minutes. The subjects were then asked to review their own videos and read each other’s emotions
in different situations.
The result of the experiment was to measure how attractive they felt and how much they liked each other,
and to analyze the responses. The results showed that people who were more strongly attracted to each
other were better able to read each other’s emotions. 1. Is it true or false that love is blind? To address this
question, what kind of state is being blind in “love”? Further, “What is the nature of being in love?” Based
on this, it is worth considering what blindness really is.
