Drinking coffee, is it a habit or a need?

Habits are the foundation of human behavior. Get used to brushing your teeth in the morning and evening, get used to going to work the same way, get used to wearing clothes from the right... In the definition of psychology, habit is a deliberate choice made by people, and after a period of time, the subconscious will copy it. Behavior.

So, are people used to drinking coffee? Still need coffee?

Recently, the University of Southern California published a study in Psychological Science. The researchers first asked a group of college students who drank coffee, and more of them answered that they drank coffee because of "tiredness." They said that "tiredness" had about twice the effect of "tiredness" on their choice to drink coffee than "habit."

However, after conducting the study for a week, the researchers found that "habit" actually affects coffee drinking to about the same degree as "tiredness".

"A lot of what we do every day is due to habit, but we are reluctant to admit our habits and attribute our behavior to us," said Wendy Wood, USC provost professor of psychology and business and the study's author. Emotions and intentions.” In other words, when drinking coffee is a habit, we lie to ourselves that it’s because our bodies need it.

Participants in the study "severely overestimated" the effect of fatigue on their coffee consumption, and while this misunderstanding persists, they will continue to misattribute habits to inner states. This research can help to discuss the adverse effects of "misperceptions" on "self-regulation" in the future.

I don’t think “getting used to drinking coffee” is actually a bad thing. The designated action of buying a cup of coffee in the habit of buying a cup of coffee every morning or afternoon tea time, whether it’s just a subconscious push, to reward yourself, or to lift your spirits, as long as there is a positive Influence can be a "good habit". On the contrary, if you don't want to admit it, the problem will become more serious , so let's admit it honestly together!

I'm just used to drinking coffee!
