✅译文
第一段：你是否曾经一开始相信某件事，却在短时间内发现自己持有相反的观点？如果是这样，你并不孤单。美国一项新的研究表明，人们很容易说服自己改变观点。
第二段：科学家曾经认为，自我说服的发生是因为人们在试图说服他人时可能会对自己撒谎。然而，一项新的研究表明，这可能仅仅是因为接触到支持某一方的论点。
第三段：在这项研究中，人们被展示了一些观点，并被要求选择支持或反对某一方。然后他们被分成两组。一组人写信息在辩论中说服他人。如果他们的信息有说服力，就会得到报酬。另一组人写支持某一方的论点总结，他们也可以根据总结的好坏获得报酬。有趣的是，两组人在写下对立观点后，都倾向于改变自己的观点，即使没有额外的动机去改变立场。
第四段：科学家表示，这可能是由于“真相错觉效应”，即反复接触某个观点会让它看起来更可信，即使它不是真的。因此，接触对立观点可能会导致自我说服，并使人们从最初的立场转变。
第五段：所以，不要只让听到的东西改变你的想法。在没有意义的情况下说服自己是很容易的。心理学家苏珊·克劳斯·惠特伯恩在《今日心理学》中写道，花时间思考你真正的信念，这样你就能忠于自己的价值观，并找到满足感。
