Hello there fellow sandboxers.
I am in uni doing a unit called PSYCH100 and my lecturer told me the best way to learn is to teach others and if you can then you know you got the info down gucci.
SO I've decided to teach yall about psychology! I will try to sum up or say a little bit about diff stuff i learn in class.
i may or may not drop this after like a week or 2 cause i never push through with stuff i set out to do but who cares yolo lets give this a try!!
Cognitive psychology is the scientific study of mental processes such as "attention, language use, memory, perception, problem solving, creativity, and thinking".
Sharya believes that people's patterns of thoughts and judgements motivate them to behave in certain ways. Sharya's views are most consistent with the __________ approach to psychology.
Select one: a. cognitive b. behavioural c. evolutionary d. psychodynamic
There are practice quizzes on our uni website so i will use them as the base for this.
I will show hte question, the options and i will summerize each option.
then i will see which one i think fits the best. ill do thi for all 10 questions until i get to the end and ill let you know what the right anwers were and ifi got them rihgt.
i will do this for the same quiz once a week until i can get 100% 3 weeks in a row. or idk less than a week
Beleives that we are a result of our environment and how our suroundings affect the way we behave and interact. this includes studies into classical and operant conditioning. aka pavlov's dog.
psychodynamic: Sigmund frued . it is both a theory and a therapy. its the beleief that the human mind is like an ice berg. Our subconsious mind makes up the large portion of that ice berg. underlaying influences that affect our behaviours. id/ego/super ego
I don't have the stats on me but industrial/organizational psychology is the field of psych where the big bucks are. ppl like that do tend to go into management or HR. idk if it's more popular than clinical or what.
personally im not in either i like cognitive neuroscience
im unsure but i'm taking psychology through bachelor of arts, so i wont get accreditation unless i transfer into psychology but i am also doing communications and graphic design as my two minors so its a possibility i could go into marketing but im bad at business and economics so idk nnn
i heard (from a disgruntled second-year psych student) that most of the students taking psych will go into marketing instead of into clinical psychology, is that similar at your uni?
well there is that aspect of psychology, more of what i was intending to say is that, the goal of psychology is not to belittle and put down people who have mental illnesses but rather to learn, observe, dissect human thoughts, behaviour patterns and emotions. Some people do it out of curiousity or a love of learning about the mind, some do it to learn how to better the lives around them or make themselves feel like they are doing something for others or fulfilling.
either way, no aspect of psychology is aimed at outright condemming those who struggle with mental illness or even with certain emotions and behaviours of course if they wish to fix bad ones.
which is why i said that, since jamal was saying that we needed this because a lot of people on epicmafia have mental problems out of spite or rather out of negative intent, which i dont beleive is the aim of psychology or more specifically, not the aim of this thread.
I wanted to study psychology but i never thought about the fact i'd make anyone's lives better, i just thought it would have been neat to make predictions about how we think and act.
I wish to disagree. I believe the bigger purpose of psychology is to predict and find the primcies of behaviour by their scientific experiments and observations plus psychological testing.
