Age has never been a problem for Thessalonika Arzu-Embry. After all, she’s already got her master’s degree.
The North Chicago-area girl started homeschooling at the age of 4. She began having an influence on others soon after.
When she was 6 years old, she was an inspirational speaker at an organization called Tabitha House Community Service, a
shelter for people who were forced to leave their homes due to the situations such as earthquakes, flood and other natural
disasters.
At the age of 11, she graduated from high school and then earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology in 2013. She
completed those classes online as she was traveling for leadership meetings.
She doesn’t stop there, though. The girl plans to take up aviation psychology ( 航空心理学) for her further study, a
decision inspired by her father who is a pilot. She grew up around airplanes and took flights all the time. Her goal is to use it to
determine whether pilots are dealing with problems that could have deadly results once the plane takes off — a topic that has

been in the news lately. For her, it’s a mix of two of her interests.

Here’s a quick quiz. Person A does a favor for you. Person B asks you to do a favor for him. Who do you tend to like
more? Surprisingly, the answer is Person B. This quirk (怪癖) of human nature is known as the Ben Franklin Effect.
Benjamin Franklin came across the phenomenon in 1736 when serving as a clerk to the Pennsylvania Assembly. A
powerful member didn’t care for Franklin and threatened to make life miserable for him. What to do? Instead of winning him
over with sweet talk, Franklin asked if he could borrow a rare and valuable book the man owned. This request altered the man’s
attitude and paved the way for their friendship. Franklin’s takeaway: “He that has once done you a kindness will be ready to do
you another, than he whom you yourself have obliged.”
Several studies have confirmed this. But how can we explain the Ben Franklin Effect? Some psychologists refer to
cognitive dissonance (失调). It’s difficult to hold two contradictory thoughts at the same time. It makes us uncomfortable. We
resolve this tension by changing our mind. “I don’t like Joe, but I am doing him a favor,” we might think. “So maybe I do like
him.”
While cognitive dissonance explains a lot, it alone doesn’t explain the Ben Franklin Effect. One 2015 study found that it
was, rather, the affiliative (亲和的) motive that the requests convey. That is, we humans want to maintain good relations with
other humans, and one way to achieve this is by doing favors for others. This explains a lot about altruistic behavior. We like
