Comment on Transliterated country names into Chinese Language use pre-existing characters that already has its own meaning, therefore native Chinese speakers have a subconcious impression based on country names.

  Lol man I major in psychology and I guarantee you these are not how subconscious work at all, and that’s part of the reason why I find this post ridiculous:

  so my first impression was, that these people probably have very strict rules and are law abiders

  so I just imagine British people like to help the innocent

  I had a subconcious belief they were very moral people.

  I though these are dark-skinned people that value brotherhood, masculinity.

  Subconscious is all just very vague feelings, good/bad, like/dislike, warm/cold. “people probably have very strict rules and are law abiders” is way too explicit as a subconscious thought.

  And you are not supposed to tell what you subconsciously think anyway. That’s why it is called "sub"conscious. They’ll only surface through well conducted psychology research and statistics.

  If a researcher ask you “what are you thinking subconsciously?”, it would be a pretty stupid psychology research.
