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.

Four sites

Hello! I have found four websites that are very interesting and they say a lot of my current research so I hope you like the websites and Till next post!

First VLOG

2nd BIG blog: More information

2nd BIG blog

Hello! It's been awhile since I posted a BIG blog instead of short little post on my blog but this is a BIG one so prepare for information! Recently my Psychology studies have been going great and I have gotten a lot of information on the history and structure of psychology. I have also found sixteen branches of psychology which are listed at the bottom of the post. Did you know that psychology started off as just a branch of philosophy and slowly throughout history became a serious and important science. Speaking of psychology and science I discovered that psychology is on a bridge between art and science but I found this and it proves psychology to be a science: Psychology is a science because it analyzes human behavior and the human mind. Art is free of rules and totally based on subjective conceptions. Science is based on the objective analysis of facts that belong to our reality, studies, and comparisons. Art is based on talent and intuition. I found many interesting things during my research and I must say that psychology is a complex and interesting subject and it becomes more and more interesting as time passes. Soon I am going to be doing an interview with a psychologist and I'm going to record the conversation so the information is spot on. I will be posting more information more frequently and I am finding even more experiments, studies, and types of psychology. I have gotten very far and I will try to post more information to make sure I am not the only one learning. That is all and Till next post.



16 branches of psychology: Social, Personality, Health, Forensic, Experimental, Educational, Development, Cross-Cultural, Comparative, Cognitive, Biopsychology, Behavioral, and Abnormal, psychodynamic, humanistic, and evolutionary.
 

"Books"

Quick update. This is still another short blog so just telling you guys. Recently I have discovered this source that is not a website. I'm advancing in my research thanks to this new source. People call them "Books." So far they are great and they're a good source so I guess this is going to be a main source and not a one time thing. Here are some pictures.

2nd account

If you all want you can also check my 2nd account which is just where I post some ideas and stories I have and it would be nice if you are one if the people that checks out this blog then you can check      writeliveshare.blogspot.ca

Please check it out and till next post

Posts

So quick I just wanted to tell everyone who checks my blog that for this blog I will be posting a minimum of 2 blogs a month, that doesn't mean I will ONLY post twice a month, and one Vlog a month. I think I might do only one Vlog a month but then again there's nothing wrong with a lot of posts. So I just wanted to get that little detail out of the way so I can make sure you guys know what's up and I can keep on posting about things I find during my researching. Well that's all so until next post.

Crazy experiment

  Arguably the most famous experiment in the history of psychology, the 1971 Stanford prison study put a microscope on how social situations can affect human behavior. The researchers, led by psychologist Philip Zimbardo, set up a mock prison in the basement of the Stanford psych building and selected 24 undergraduates (who had no criminal record and were deemed psychologically healthy) to act as prisoners and guards. Researchers then observed the prisoners (who had to stay in the cells 24 hours a day) and guards (who shared eight-hour shifts) using hidden cameras

The experiment, which was scheduled to last for two weeks, had to be cut short after just six days due to the guards' abusive behavior -- in some cases they even inflicted psychological torture -- and the extreme emotional stress and anxiety exhibited by the prisoners.

"The guards escalated their aggression against the prisoners, stripping them naked, putting bags over their heads, and then finally had them engage in increasingly humiliating sexual activities," Zimbardo told American Scientist. "After six days I had to end it because it was out of control -- I couldn't really go to sleep at night without worrying what the guards could do to the prisoners."

Found this doing research and I can't believe this actually happened. I just hope they don't do things like this nowadays but I guess my research will show.

What's up

Viewers, I know I said this before but I've decided to expand on this topic.

For my Genius hour this year I'm studying Psychology, study of the mind and behavior. There are many branches of psychology, some examples include cognitive, abnormal, and cross cultural. Psychology is the study of the mind and behavior and allows the person learning about psychology to gain further understanding on our behavior/actions, our mind, and our brain. Psychology is a very complex and interesting study and is used in many situations/places such as advertisements, therapy, sometimes even in conversations, etc.
 I'm doing Psychology because it has always been interesting to me, it is a good thing/skill to know, It's used in many places/situations, It will allow me to learn about the brain and mind which are very interesting topics to me as well, and also a little bit just because it's hard.
 I'm going for a year of learning all I can about my topic, more understanding on how Psychology connects to the world, how Psychology can help someone in life, and what it takes to become a psychologist or just get a degree in psychology basically.
I'm going to see if my goals are being achieved by 1.checking what research I have and seeing if it seems like enough for the time of year 2.When I see things connected to psychology in my everyday life I will make sure to take note and try to not miss things like that 3.Try to use what I have learned of psychology in my life and try to use it on/for people and for 4. only time can tell.
That is all

Genius hour has truly begun

                                            

Got it

got it. Genius hour I'm gonna do psychology. 1 hour a week I'm gonna study and learn how to trick the mind, learn some of the weird and unknown ways we think, see where and how people use psychology, learn how to use psychology in a conversation and maybe a bit more. End game is probably like a psychology quiz, a meeting with Dr. Jimmy Silveira, or maybe use some psychology tricks I learned and explain what's happening. I might even throw some psychology stuff in my blog. 😉
............... Genius hour is beginning.

Getting ready

Didn't start Genius hour yet but let's see how it goes. I have no idea what to do but I hope what I do end up doing is gonna be awesome. This is gonna be fun.

                        The blog has begun.
