Thought Suppression (1 of 4)

Description
Fyodor Dostoevsky wrote, “Try to pose for yourself this task: not to think of a polar bear, and you will see that the cursed thing will come to mind every minute.” He was right. Daniel Wegner and colleagues instructed research participants not to think of a white bear. They often failed, and on subsequent tasks, thoughts of the bear repeatedly intruded and interrupted them.
