We all know that casinos are the worlds best at manipulating our senses, emotions, cognitions, and money. They use psychology in so many ways, as I have already mentioned in my previous blog, but how does this relate to RTC?

What is it about gambling that is so addictive? Some say it is the suspense and thrill; or others just enjoy getting free drinks and good food. Nevertheless, we keep putting in those nickels and dimes, even when we KNOW the odds of us winning are slim to none. Let me let you in on a little secret. Gambling is all about Psychology. I would even venture to say that casino’s make their success based on psychology, and psychology alone. Here are just a few examples of how Casino’s use Psychology to their advantage:
Redtagcrazy.com does a great job at meeting this next need on Maslow’s Hierarchy, in my opinion.
Belongingness/love needs. “When the needs for safety and for physiological well-being are satisfied, the next class of needs for love, affection and belongingness can emerge. Maslow states that people seek to overcome feelings of loneliness and alienation. This involves both giving and receiving love, affection and the sense of belonging” This is one need that RTC is definitely a contributor of.
Another thing that RTC is particularly good at is boosting self esteem: “When the first three classes of needs are satisfied, the needs for esteem can become dominant. These involve needs for both self-esteem and for the esteem a person gets from others. Humans have a need for a stable, firmly based, high level of self-respect, and respect from others. When these needs are satisfied, the person feels self-confident and valuable as a person in the world. When these needs are frustrated, the person feels inferior, weak, helpless and worthless.”
Next up on Maslow’s hierarchy are Safety needs. Let’s see how RTC helps us meet this particular need…
So, once again, I am going to bore you with a psychology lesson. Only this time, I am going to introduce a few ways RTC can serve as an easy, healthy way to *help* meet Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. Although, keep in mind, we should not solely depend on anything, not even the RTC, to meet our needs fully.
Abraham Maslow was a famous Psychologist who created a chart that much resembled the food pyramid; but rather than categorizing dairy products and sugars, his chart outlined human needs. He labeled his chart the: “hierarchy of needs“.
Redtagcrazy.com: an online clothing, shoes and handbag site that offers a wide selection of brand names, styles, sizes and quantities; a network of women and men of all ages that are united by one love: fashion. RTC is a place to learn about new styles and trends that can help you look your best, all day every day. And most importantly, redtagcrazy.com is a place where we can escape the mundane routines of everyday life, and vent our stresses to total strangers.
In my previous blog, I gave you a brief Psychology lesson on Pavlov’s famous Classical Conditioning paradigm, and how it specifically takes effect here on RTC!
Well, let’s just say he isn’t the only behaviorist who contributed to the world of retail…!.
When most people think of online shopping, they associate it with bimbo housewives who have nothing better to do than spend their husband’s hard earned money all day. However, I’m not most people, and when I think of online shopping, particularly here on RTC, I associate it with two well known Behaviorists: Ivan Pavlov, and B.F. Skinner. Wow. Did I jus say that? I’m glad it’s not TOO obvious that I’m a Psychology major…
