Everyday psychology: ads

   I'm not sure if you knew or not but in ads they have a good amount of psychologists behind the set working on how to cleverly use psychology to influence ad watchers to buy the product. Like they can try to make you sad so that you buy whatever it is out of some sort of guilt/pity. 

Long time no see

   I don't even remember the last I posted a blog. Honestly with all that's going on Genius hour has been hard to focus on so that explains the break. I still have my old research and now that genius hour has re-entered a slot in my schedule I can focus on my topics of how the brain works, how behavior and mood are used in psychology, tricks of psychology, and tricks of psychology. These topics are what I'm going to be studying until the final product in June. That's all I have at the moment so I hope that will suffice. Till' next time

Designated branches

I have begun to take my research to a new level and that level is more on specific branches turf. Less of 'psychology' as a whole and more of 'psychology' in pieces. the main branches that are focused with my 3 new topics are; Behavioral psychology, bio-psychology, and cognitive psychology.
   I must be brutally honest and admit that I have not truly gotten much work/research done for my genius hour the month of January so what I can actually talk about in this blog is my new subjects. I really just did talk about that so I guess that is a wrap and till next post!

Welcome back

Welcome back to my Genius Hour! Hope all o' y'all had a great holiday and New years was awesome. Ya well my new years resolution is to change my topics. Before I was stuck on the impossible topics: facts of psychology, different types of psychology, and structure of psychology but now I am doing the much more possible topics: how the brain works, how psychology affects the brain, and how behavior/mood are used in psychological practices.
   To be honest before I sounded like a psychology student and now I sound like an aspiring psychologist. I guess as this goes I evolve with my new knowledge. Already I have found a website on how the human mind works and I am beginning to look a it into neuroscience (The study of the nervous system, mainly the brain). The link is https://www.mcgill.ca/neuroscience/neuroscience. I have also found a link about psychology in general and it is http://www.all-about-psychology.com. Pretty cool so check those out. Also with m new subjects not only do I evolve nut I also expand my view of psychology from a few facts to what psychology is studying in its studies itself. So I hope you are all exited for a new year with new facts,  and new topics. I guess that's all and till next blog.

New subject and final notes

      Hello followers. First Merry Christmas of course as we get near to the Christian celebration of Christmas. And I guess I'm supposed to say happy new year? Well I guess that's all for the holidays and time to get back to work. So as we near the end of the year I am going to be changing the main focus of my psychology study and as I have been studying the history, structure, and facts on psychology, while staying on the topic of psychology, I will be doing how the brain works, how psychology effects the brain, and how behavior, mood, etc. effect/are used in psychology practices.
                At the end of this year I'm going to have all the information I was looking for and also I'm going to start thinking about what's going on at the end of the year for my end product. What should it be: Sit down with Dr. Jimmy Silveira (as a psychologist) or should I make a psychology quiz? Well besides that, which is in months so I'll worry about it later, time to talk about what's going on right now.
               Recently I have been doing some closing up research for my current focus so i can have a smooth change from my current focus to the next. I have learned much from my books such as 3 of my 16 branches of psychology:  psychodynamic, humanistic, and evolutionary. Also I have found some big steps in evolving psychology like how in 1879 Wilhelm Wundt established the first psychology laboratory at the University of Leipzig. Wundt’s work forms the basis for experimental psychology. (structuralism). A very good amount of online sites and research such as http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/18/20-psychological-studies-_n_4098779.html, and https://www.psychologytoday.com/. I have my soon to come interview with a psychologist and I have also been adding what psychologists do to my research list. I know that anyone that looks at my blog and knows a lot about psychology is going to be offended but I am now finding out who Sigmund Freud is. 
                       I have been looking around when I go on the street to try and find/see any psychology buildings or any psychologist offices but I don't have much luck. I try to look at these big people like Wang Qiren, Sigmund Freud, and William Wundt. One last thing quick is a little Psychology history with Sigmund Freud:  In the 1890s, Hugo Münsterberg began writing about the application of psychology to industry, law, and other fields. Lightner Witmer established the first psychological clinic in the 1890s. James McKeen Cattell adapted Francis Galton's anthropometric methods to generate the first program of mental testing in the 1890s. In Vienna, meanwhile, Sigmund Freud developed an independent approach to the study of the mind called psychoanalysis, which has been widely influential.
