Psychologists are not medical doctors.

(ETA: Unless they have a separate degree.)

Was wondering about the psychology of getting "likes" on the forum as an anonymous person from anonymous people.
It's interesting human behavior that many seem to crave.

interesting indeed! what's more interesting is some anonymous yenta asking anonymous people on an anonymous forum about the psychology of anonymous people craving likes from anonymous people on an anonymous chat....

Basic, old time, operant conditioning, rewarding for behavior, but this taps in to the physiological way of how certain parts of our brain work.  This is how psychology/anatomy/physiology/neurology are all really related.

If someone gets rewarded for doing something, they will most likely do it again or at least, it will be easier for them to do it again.  When people get likes, they most likely will continue to post more often to get more of those likes. 

From the site perspective:  The more people participate, the more popular the site, the more advertising revenue at best (or importance/gaiva at least) the site/owners will have.  They want us to give/get likes. 

From the poster's perspective:  "Someone likes me.  I am doing something right.  It feels good to be liked and to do something right.  I will do it again.  I want more."  We actually have a place in our brain that is connected to craving/addiction.  The more it is used, the more it wants .

Is yenta your career or your name?

Just putting this here: among the threads @Yenta has started/posted in:
“Do you read in the bathroom?”
“Best Toilet paper”
“Do you have a happy marriage?”
“Did you ever yell at your spouse?”
“Do you ever hear your neighbors fighting?”
“Austrian citizenship”
“Prison”

What's the psychology behind Austrian people with a happy marriage yelling at their spouse while reading in the bathroom using the best quality toilet paper and listening to their neighbors fighting about prison?

One thing I've never understood is why there seem to be so few women on DDF.
