Psychologists know you have to be careful when you go poking around the human mind because you're never sure what you'll find there. A number of psychological experiments over the years have yielded terrifying conclusions about the subjects. Oh, we're not talking about the occasional psychopath who turns up. No, we're talking about you. The experiments speak for themselves: #5. The Asch Conformity Experiment (1953) The Setup: Solomon Asch wanted to run a series of studies that would document the power of conformity, for the purpose of depressing everyone who would ever read the results. Subjects were told that they would be taking part in a vision test, along with a handful of people. The participants were then shown pictures, and individually asked to answer very simple a

“I know what to do, I just don't do it.” You may be among the thousands, maybe even millions of individuals, who utter these words constantly. You diet. You lose weight. And yet, here you sit, perhaps heavier than you've ever been. You're frustrated, you're confused, you're angry, maybe you are even hopeless. I would be, too, if I were you. Unfortunately so many who offer weight loss services are not completely versed in all aspects of obesity, compulsive eating and food addiction - particularly the psychology of weight loss, and more important, the psychology of weight control.

A single brain circuit mediates desire and dread according to a new study by the University of Michigan (U-M). Entering a noisy, new environment can instantly flip an emotion switch. "We experience desire and fear as psychological opposites. But from the brain's point of view they seem to share a common kernel that can be flexibly used for either one," said Kent Berridge, a psychology professor who oversees the University's Affective Neuroscience and Bio- psychology Lab. "This brain limbic circuit can retune its emotional functions from moment to moment, according to situation. "In some human disorders, this brain circuit might be more permanently retuned by pathology that unbalances the flexible circuit. For example, this same circuit might produce persistent desires in addiction, but fea

Researchers from Queen's University, Ontario, Canada have for the first time uncovered a possible biological link between severe psychological stress and an increased risk of developing breast cancer. The study, led by biochemist Christopher Mueller, found that the stress hormone hydrocortisone may repress the activity of a tumour-suppressing gene known as BRCA1 that is related to breast cancer. Previous population studies have shown a relationship between the experience of intense psychological stress, such as that associated with the loss of a spouse or loved one, and an elevation in breast cancer risk. However, this is the first time a breast specific biological basis for this link has been proposed. "The results of this particular study are very exciting," says Dr Mueller. "This provi

Psychological stress, but not depression, may increase the risk of stroke, according to a study published in the current issue of Neurology®. Previous studies have shown that stroke often leads to depression, but the evidence was mixed as to whether depression could lead to stroke. "Stroke is among the leading causes of long-term disability and death worldwide," said study author Paul Surtees, PhD, of the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. "Understanding the mechanisms by which overall emotional health may increase stroke risk may inform stroke prevention and help identify those at increased stroke risk." Researchers studied 20,627 people who had never suffered a stroke for an average of 8.5 years. Participants answered questions concerning their psychological distress, bas

As horrifying as it sounds, the Australian Defense Force has been practicing this method of emotionally pacifying its personnel. There have been breast augmentations, nose surgeries and tummy tucks recorded to have been performed on women in the defense on the grounds of psychological treatment. The Australian defense policy also allows male personnel to have a penile enhancement surgery on physical and psychological grounds. And from various reports, the Indian defense personnel are not far behind in taking advantage of plastic surgery treatment. The military, as an aid to the members making up their ranks, is allowed to make provisions for their physical well-being. To this end, reconstructive plastic surgery becomes necessary when injuries to the body are met when on duty. Howe

Ahhhh Christmas time…when else during the year do you have the ultimate threat to get the kids to behave? Tonight it looked like two tornadoes went through the house…one through Maya's room (Strawberry Shortcake toys everywhere). Through Demetrius' room the wind blew every board game out of its container. When asked to clean their rooms, a resounding silence was heard, and a half-hearted effort was given. Daddy picks up the phone and calls Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Francine: the fake call to Santa proceeds, as it is across houses in the USA as type these words. First "Santa' has a talk with Maya. She doesn't know what to think. She giggles, gets excited…and then realizes he's telling her he's watching her and she needs to clean up to stay on the "nice list'. Her eyes widen, and as she's listening…. she backs up into a corner of her room. She decides now is a good time to put her pjs on and no longer sit naked under her covers hoping Mommy will end up cleaning

This article, a third in a series, is about the softer side of rent vs. buy. These comparisons have become very popular and can easily be made using one of the many online calculators available. However, the psychological aspects of this comparison have yet to receive their deserved attention. (I still recommend reading this post about how to properly compare rent vs. buy financially as many calculators don’t make the correct comparison).As you may remember a correct comparison of rent vs. buy should be made for the same property in the same time frame where the two options are:1. Buy the property today and repay it through out the period.2. Rent the property today and buy it at the end of the period.The problem with the rent vs. buy comparison is, as always, the human factor. In order to compare rent vs. buy correctly some assumptions need to be made which are not at all easy to meet up with in real life.These assumptions are:1. We’re talking about the same property to either rent

England's problems at international level are more psychological than technical, Italian coach Fabio Capello said on Sunday.

I think there are several psychological baises working in case of real estate. The first is incentive caused bais. Typically real estate is sold via brokers or by sales agents of the builder. They have an incentive to sell the property and typically earn a commision based on sale price. It is quite obvious that the broker or sales agent would be motivated to sell at as high price as possible. In addition it is likely that he will give you a bullish outlook for the property prices.The second strong bias is social- proof and deprival super reaction tendency. You see you friend buy a property and make easy money. At the same if you have not invested money and feel deprival super reaction tendency as everyone one else is making easy money.So these two tendencies work together and motivate us to look for a property. Combine this with the incentive caused bias where the broker is constantly trying to create a scarcity (he will tell you that he has a lot of buyers and even you don’t buy now

That framework includes: The capacity to be curious and puzzled The patience to investigate a company’s potential The ability to imagine what could go wrong with our decisions Creating a good fit between our investing style and our personality The capacity not to know The capacity for self-reflective awareness The ability to decenter Emotional discipline The capacity for optimal restraint The capacity to be curious and puzzled My reaction to the PR firm’s heads up on Leading Brands reflects the first requirement on my list of components for the good enough investor-to be curious and puzzled. Forget the accepted wisdom about curiosity’s effect on cats. Curiosity is part of what makes us human. But for most of us, it often falls prey to the general concerns of everyday life, particularly work. Our single-minded ways of seeing things and our unspoken theories about the world, while helping us fit into our surroundings, seem to have a way of keeping our creative puzzle

Pharmaceutical sales reps are trained in tactics that are on par with some of the most potent brainwashing techniques used throughout the world, according to an in-depth report, co-written by former Eli Lilly drug rep Shahram Ahari; and Adriane Fugh-Berman, associate professor of physiology and biophysics at Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, D.C.. Pharmaceutical companies spend more than $15 billion each year promoting prescription drugs in the United States. These campaigns are designed to effectively alter prescribing behavior, in order to sell more of the high-profit drugs (as opposed to the most effective, and least dangerous.)

Author: J.E. RoeckeleinPaperback: 692 pagesPublisher: Elsevier Science; 1 edition (March 2, 2006)Language: EnglishISBN: 0444517502In attempting to understand and explain various behaviour, events, and phenomena in their field, psychologists have developed and enunciated an enormous number of best guesses or theories concerning the phenomenon in question. Such theories involve speculations and statements that range on a potency continuum from strong to weak. The term theory, itself, has been conceived of in various ways in the psychological literature. In the present dictionary, the strategy of lumping together all the various traditional descriptive labels regarding psychologists best guesses under the single descriptive term theory has been adopted. The descriptive labels of principle, law, theory, model, paradigm, effect, hypothesis and doctrine are attached to many of the entries, and all such descriptive labels are subsumed under the umbrella term theory.The

Before reading this article..... Take A Deep Breath, Sit Back And Free Your Mind…Readers, let us all listen to the song in this website called ‘Somewhere In Time’ by John Tesh.Now, close your eyes…forget about reality for the moment, and transport ourselves to another world you can call paradise…"Imagine yourself sitting on the rocks of a beach, watching the waves of the deep blue sea almost coming to where you are. Then close your eyes and you will feel the beautiful breeze blowing on your face. Imagine the sounds of the seagulls flying and twittering across the sea. Whilst that, just breathe the fresh air that surrounds you from head to toe. Free your mind from everything else. Just feel the serenity of everything that you can see with your own eyes and hear with your own ears, and admire the indescribable beauty that Mother Nature has for you…the beautiful sunset, the ocean so blue…"Relaxed? You should be. And best of all, you can do it even in the comfort of your own
