Some researchers even contend that several psychological studies on subliminal influence and suggestions may be inadequate or flawed due to certain limitations brought about by inevitable internal and external factors. Researchers don’t really approve of studies or experiments which only make use of a short period of time; they give subliminal influence or suggestions to subjects and then go on with the experiment immediately after.
What researchers would like to happen is that the subjects be given more time to absorb the subliminal messages and suggestions and maybe come back after several weeks or months.
Proponents of the power of subliminal influence and suggestions have repeatedly stated that the effect of the subliminals may require some time before it can generate specific, desired behaviours or changes.
Why Use Subliminals If It’s Possible That They Don’t Work?
As of now, there has been no certain research that can prove the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of subliminal messages and suggestions. We are only left with puzzle pieces that would somehow and eventually lead us to a conclusion on the future whether subliminals work or not.
Although we know that there are some things that can actually circumvent the conscious mind of human beings and go directly to the unconscious, we still have no hard proof that they really go to the unconscious and bring forth certain effects and changes to the behaviours of humans.
It is quite hard to measure the unconscious mind, since from its name itself, it is unconscious. It is quite difficult for humans to blurt out what is going on in their unconscious mind, right?
We are left with the question “do subliminals work?” but perhaps in the future, we will get some real and concrete answers to our question.
