Blink - priming

By having people read about sentences involving patience, and having another set of students read about being rude, it actually affected their behavior when they were tested in a psychological setting, on whether to interrupt someone in having a conversation. Those who merely read and formed sentences with words such as 'patient', and 'polite' were much more likely to NOT interrupt. Thus our unconscious minds are influencing us.
