"The right words, used at the correct moment, can guide and predict behaviour."
Foreign worker or Expatriate?
There is an ongoing debate within the field of psycholinguistics(the psychology of language) as to whether different use of words and langauge have an effect on thinking.
The general consensus is that yes, how you use words and the words you use impacts behaviour and thinking.
Consider the following words, all meaning the same thing, but all with different connotations.
Refugee
Asylum Seeker
Foreign Worker
Expatriate
Each of these words conjure an image and each has an impact on outward behaviour.
That is the power of psycholinguistics. Understanding what words will have the most influence will allow you to guide and predict behaviour.
