Subconscious Mind and Decision Making Ability Among Adults: An Intervention Study

Making decisions is a difficult process shaped by both cognitive awareness and subconscious tendencies. This paper investigates the impact of the subconscious mind on decision making capabilities, specifically examining whether affirmations can affect decision making patterns. Baseline data was gathered from 50 participants (pre-affirmation phase) using the Decision-Making Style Inventory to evaluate their current decision-making patterns. Participants subsequently undertook a 21-day affirmation intervention aimed at strengthening positive subconscious thought processes. To assess if decision-making styles had changed after the intervention, the inventory was completed again (post-affirmation phase). The findings demonstrate a significant shift in decision making tendencies following intervention, 65% of the participants showed an increase in rational decision making, while impulsive decision-making decreased by 40%. Additionally, 50% of participants exhibited a reduction in avoidant decision-making patterns, indicating increased confidence in their choices. These findings indicate that frequent subconscious reinforcement via affirmations can result in measurable gains in decision-making efficiency and flexibility. This work adds to the growing field of subconscious effect on cognition by revealing how purposeful subconscious reprogramming can increase cognitive flexibility and decision-making processes. The consequences of these discoveries extend beyond academic research, giving practical applications in fields such as behavioural psychology, self-improvement, and cognitive training. Individuals and professionals can create focused tactics to improve cognitive function and maximise decision-making in both personal and professional contexts by comprehending how subconscious training affects decision-making. It is advised that future studies examine whether these modifications are sustainable over the long run and evaluate how well subconscious treatments work in a variety of demographics and decision-making situations. These findings pave the door for further research into the interplay of psychology, subconscious programming, and cognitive enhancement.
