Richard Wiseman's experiments

Richard Wiseman is well known professor of psychology.Before he became interested in psychology he was an amateur magician,now he is explaining all those trics from psychological poiont of view.
His unuasual object of researches makes him original scientist,he explains such phenomenas that other scientists do not pay attention.I like his tricky experiment with cards while the point of experiment were not card but enironment changing around them,I think this experiment shows how we differentiate attention and shows how many information we lose.
In my personal view such scientists as Richard Wiseman makes scientific researches more interesting,unusual and can interest people who even dislike science.Reteating from traditional areas of experiments makes our views broader and open ways to know something that we still do not know.

Psychology studies in other countries

I want to compare Mykolas Romeris University (our university) psychology bachelor's program with Birmingham University and Norwegian University psychology bachelor's programs.Thirst of all I want to say that subjects are quite similar in all this universities.Bachelor's studies in Birmingham University and Norwegian Univarsity takes 3 years,although in Mykolas Romeris we must to study 4 years and still we cand work independently in psychological field,students of those universities can work after 3 years of studies!!!... Subjects in all universities I am speaking about are almost the same: theories of personality,research methods of psychology,cognitive,perception,social psychology.In Birmingham University additional subjects can be chosen only in 3rd year of studies,in Norwegian you can chose them then you want,that is not compulsory.Finally,although subjects are the same it is quite confusing to study 4-5 years,then other study only 3 years and after that can work,I prefer 3 years of intensive studies rather wasting additional 1-2 years in university.

What makes us happy???

Minority of people in the world state that they are really happy,the most of us are "in the middle" between happiness and unhappiness.
As statistic shows economical conditions do not guarantee the happiness.As example,people in Nigeria are more happy than people in Lithuania although economical conditions are the same or even Lithuania has better conditions.The great role in people happiness plays politic of the country,but even though not politics makes us happy,but our attitude to the outside world,so the main point is our attitude.As statistic shows the most happy country is Denmark,but sometimes statistic do not show the real situation.
To Everyone of us happiness means different things,but do not forget that very often happiness is close to you and there is no need to search "her" far away.

Self-assessment of success in learning ESP

During this half-year I have not developed my summary writing skill a lot,the reason may be that I have not worked on this a lot.Contrary to that I improved my skills on comprehension tests on modules in psychology, speaking in class and writing contributions to e-portfolio this exercised were performed a lot of times and I really worked a lot on that.Interesting experience was to make and present power point presentation to my colleagues,it will help me to speak to people in the future.My listening practice abilities are the same,because we have not do a lot of listening exercises.

Psychology of success

There are some people who are successful no matter what they do and there are people opposite to whose-forever unsuccessful.Why some people are working hard and are still unsuccessful while others are lucky no matter how hard they work and even they do not work at all?

There are plenty of books named “Psychology of success”,but is it useful?People will not magically became successful.Some people have such features like communicability,reliability and most of us trust them,such people are successful at work,in love and in all kind of thing they do.

As we can see “success” is a collection of features that are accepted by majority in society.People who work on communicational skills know how to behave in order to get that they want.

How to help people who are always unsuccessful?As it was written they have to work on they communicational skills and be more dare.Those people can gain a complex that they are worse than others,so the most important thing is to believe yourself then you do something.

Psychology of kleptomania

We all have heard about such disease as kleptomania,but we have not think of reasons of this illness.People with kleptomania steal things undesignedly,they do not understand that they are stealing,it is mental disorder.Generally they steal things of little value,such as pens,toys.How to help those people?How serious illness kleptomania is?

Kleptomania is rare disease and more common in females than in males.This illness is often attendant by another psychiatric disorders such as depression,anxiety,eating disorders.This fact shows that it is serious problem and it must be healed,because it can lead to serious disorders like paranoid.

There are  different ways of treatment:  psychological therapy and medications.Psychological therapy aimed to deal with psychologigal problems,that may be a reason of kleptomania.Medication is not recommended treatment because it changes brains chemical structure and may cause serious disorders in the future.

It is important to remember that you can not accuse those people of stealing,because they do not understand that they are doing.We must take into account that it is serious disorder and professional psychological help is needed for kleptomaniacs.
