Why Your Brain Loves Good Storytelling - HBR

Why Your Brain Loves Good Storytelling - HBR | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it

"A decade ago, my lab discovered that a neurochemical called oxytocin is a key “it’s safe to approach others” signal in the brain. Oxytocin is produced when we are trusted or shown a kindness, and it motivates cooperation with others. It does this by enhancing the sense of empathy, our ability to experience others’ emotions. Empathy is important for social creatures because it allows us to understand how others are likely to react to a situation, including those with whom we work.

More recently my lab wondered if we could “hack” the oxytocin system to motivate people to engage in cooperative behaviors. To do this, we tested if narratives shot on video, rather than face-to-face interactions, would cause the brain to make oxytocin. By taking blood draws before and after the narrative, we found that character-driven stories do consistently cause oxytocin synthesis. Further, the amount of oxytocin released by the brain predicted how much people were willing to help others; for example, donating money to a charity associated with the narrative."

Marteq's insight:

Fascinating! Now we have some tangible evidence as to the importance of storytelling.

Why Our Brains Crave Storytelling In Marketing - Fast Company

Why Our Brains Crave Storytelling In Marketing - Fast Company | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it

Digest...


Numerous studies over the years have proven that our brains are far more engaged by storytelling than the cold, hard facts.

 

When reading straight data, only the language parts of our brains work to decode the meaning. But when we read a story, not only do the language parts of our brains light up, but any other part of the brain that we would use if we were actually experiencing what we’re reading about becomes activated as well.

 

In addition to this, our brains are insanely greedy for stories. We spend about a third of our lives daydreaming--our minds are constantly looking for distractions--and the only time we stop flitting from daydream to daydream is when we have a good story in front of us.
