Content: Extending this to all children means that the experiment is prone to replication issues - A researcher finding that aggression did not increase in nine year old children would invalidate the entire premise by questioning the reproducibility. Reproducibility is not Essential
It is important to understand that creating replicable research is not essential for validity, although it does help. Sometimes, due to sheer impracticality, temporal difficulties, or expense, this is not possible. The Framingham Heart Study, an experiment testing three generations of nurses for cardiac issues, has been going on for over 60 years and nobody is seriously expected to replicate it. Instead, results from other studies around the world are used to build up a database of statistical evidence supporting the findings. Reproducibility - An Impossible Ideal? Many scientists argue that reproducibility is not an important factor for many sciences observing natural phenomena, such as astronomy, geology and, notoriously, evolution. The rise of the Intelligent Design movement has seen evolutionary science under attack, because creationists claim that evolution is not reproducible and, therefore, it is not valid. This has opened up an intense debate about the role of replication study as, for example, a geologist cannot very well recreate conditions found on the primordial earth and observe rocks metamorphosing. However, creationists misunderstand the idea of reproducibility and assume that it applies to an entire theory. | https://explorable.com/reproducibility |

Confidence Interval
Since statistics uses a sample space and predicts the trends for the whole population, it is quite natural to expect a certain degree of error and uncertainty. This is captured through the confidence interval. You will frequently encounter this concept while looking at survey results, which take the data of a few people and extend it to the whole group. Suppose the survey shows that 34% of the people vote for Candidate A. The confidence that these results are accurate for the whole group can never be 100%; for this the survey would need to be taken for the entire group. | https://explorable.com/statistics-confidence-interval |

Suppose the survey shows that 34% of the people vote for Candidate A. The confidence that these results are accurate for the whole group can never be 100%; for this the survey would need to be taken for the entire group. Therefore if you are looking at say a 95% confidence interval in the results, it could mean that the final result would be 30-38%. If you want a higher confidence interval, say 99%, then the uncertainty in the result would increase; say to 28-40%. The confidence interval depends on a variety of parameters, like the number of people taking the survey and the way they represent the whole group. For most practical surveys, the results are reported based on a 95% confidence interval. | https://explorable.com/statistics-confidence-interval |

The inverse relationship between the confidence interval width and the certainty of prediction should be noted. In normal statistical analysis, the confidence interval tells us the reliability of the sample mean as compared to the whole mean. For example, in order to find out the average time spent by students of a university surfing the internet, one might take a sample student group of say 100, out of over 10,000 university students. From this sample mean, you can get the average time spent by that particular group. In order to be able to generalize this to the whole university group, you will need a confidence interval that reflects the applicability of this result for the given sample of students to the whole university. | https://explorable.com/statistics-confidence-interval |

The size of this interval naturally depends on the type of data and its distribution. For sufficiently large values of sample size, it can be mathematically shown through the central limit theorem that the distribution is approximately normal distribution. In such a case, the 95% confidence level occurs at an interval of 1.96 times the standard deviation. This is shown in the figure below. The figure can be interpreted as telling us that if one were to repeatedly take samples of the same size from the whole data that is represented through the normal distribution and the confidence interval is calculated in each case, then 95% of these intervals will contain the true mean of the whole population. | https://explorable.com/statistics-confidence-interval |

The Power of a Holistic Approach to Healing and to Life
A holistic approach to healing and to life is profound. It draws on some important scientific facts, that everything is energy and everything is connected. With this in mind, a holistic approach integrates the body, emotions, mind, and spirit to produce deep, lasting healing and a better life. Definition of Holistic
A dictionary definition of holistic is “relating to or concerned with integrated wholes or complete systems rather than with analyzing or treatment of separate parts.” Albert Einstein discovered what metaphysicians knew for thousands of years: space and time are connected in what he called the space-time continuum. Physicist David Bohm took a further step to describe the bigger picture by saying that everything is part of a continuum. When we approach healing holistically, we connect the part to the whole; in fact, the part contains the whole. For example, there is DNA in each of our cells; | https://exploreiahp.org/holistic-approach-healing-life/ |

Holistic practitioners use the holistic model – integrating the body, emotions, mind, and spirit – to support their clients in making powerful, lasting changes in their lives. Their work draws on the fact that any dysfunction related to a limiting belief, painful emotion, or physical ailment can be brought back into harmony with the whole. With the emergence of the internet, many holistic practitioners can work with people anywhere in the world through internet video conferences, skype, and other media. This includes most of the holistic practitioners who are listed on this site. With a desire to keep it clear and simple, holistic practitioners appreciate the holistic model for being free of dogma. Instead, a holistic approach draws on objective truths, so open-minded people from all walks of life can benefit. | https://exploreiahp.org/holistic-approach-healing-life/ |

Content: For them, holistic healing is more than a “job.” It’s a mission that has the potential to transform the lives of all involved. Holistic healing is a true blessing. In most cases, it is also non-invasive. From a medical perspective, this means it is free of introduction of instruments into the body. A holistic approach is also free of prescription medications, which can have dangerous affects on the body. Medications can also have a negative effect on an individual’s emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. Going beyond a traditional approach to healing, a holistic approach can transform people’s perspectives on who they are, along with their perceptions of what might be possible. It can help all of us to perceive ourselves in more expansive ways and create increasingly more healthy, joyful, exciting, and fulfilling lives. A Holistic Lifestyle and Beyond

The Function of Pain After a Loss
Content: We feel that if we don’t remember his laugh, the look on his face, and his way of walking then it would be like a betrayal. However, time makes that memory fade somewhat and we start to have doubts and worry that we may start to forget the things that physically defined him. As we consider this,we should remember that, even if our loved one is not here, and we can’t touch him or listen to him, he remains very much in our heart. The affection, and the moments we have lived together, remain in our heart and nothing and nobody can take that away from us, not even time itself. 2. Coping with grief: Am I going crazy? The loss of a loved one causes a state of shock, a mental block, which is extremely difficult and alienating. Experiencing so many emotions at the same time make us feel that we have lost control of ourselves. We must point out that this is almost always a very necessary transitional stage to be able to process what has happened to us. | https://exploringyourmind.com/11-frequent-questions-coping-grief/ |

If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, it means you have a certain level of intolerance. We’re talking about levels because in most cases, if we draw a line between “tolerance” and “intolerance,” we fall somewhere along it. That is, the answers to these questions wouldn’t all carry the same weight or indicate the same direction. We all have a certain level of tolerance or intolerance, depending on the circumstance and our personality. Attitudes that intolerant people have in common

Intolerant people are afraid of anything that’s different. That is, they’re rigid in their psychology. It makes it hard for them to accept that other people might have different philosophies and perspectives. So they distance themselves from anything that doesn’t line up with their way of thinking. They won’t accept it. It may even make them feel anxious. Being a know-it-all, but they don’t actually know it all

Content: So they embellish or make things up, presenting theories as facts and acting knowledgeable in subjects they don’t actually know about. They don’t accept or listen to other points of view besides their own, and think their closed-off attitude is justified. They might even turn to insults or aggressiveness if they feel boxed into a corner and out of arguments. Their world is simple and lacks depth
Intolerant people see the world as much simpler than it really is. That is, they don’t listen, so they don’t open up to other stances and ways of thinking. So their world is black and white. That means thinking things like “you’re either with me or against me”… “something is either ugly or pretty”… “right or wrong” without realizing that their might be a lot of gray in between. They need security and certainty, even if it isn’t real. They stick to routines
In general, they usually don’t like anything that’s unexpected or spontaneous. They grab on tight to their routines, things they know well and that give them security and peace. | https://exploringyourmind.com/7-common-attitudes-intolerant-people/ |

All the small exchanges children have with their parents, teachers, and with each other carry emotional messages.” -Daniel Goleman-
But books are always there for us. Whether we’re parents or educators, we must keep up-to-date. Science advances and we now know more than ever about children’s brains. We’ve learned how to promote holistic development in children, increase their intelligence, and give them tools to help them understand and manage their emotions. However, it’s never advisable to stick to just one of the child psychology books on the market and make it “our bible”. Rather, the ideal scenario is curiously seek out multiple sources and be open to the new discoveries in the field of education. | https://exploringyourmind.com/7-top-child-psychology-books/ |

Content: The other stimuli weaken due to how pleased and relaxed the individual feels when they consume the drug. As a consequence, this makes other motivations seem irrelevant. Prolonged consumption of the substance produces cognitive deterioration. No matter if the person interrupts its consumption, certain symptomatology may persist for long periods of time, if not forever. The relationship between the use of marijuana and amotivational syndrome may seem clear. Scientists have yet to demonstrate that cannabis is, in fact, the main cause of this condition. However, we must point out that all data alludes to it being its main trigger. “Drugs are a waste of time. They destroy your memory and self-respect, and everything that goes along with your self-esteem.” -Kurt Cobain-

Last update: 21 February, 2018
If we look for commonalities in all the times we’ve felt blue, we’ll see blame and rigid thinking at the top of the list. We could even say that’s where the lion’s share of our negative thoughts originate. Rigid thinking means an inability to change your mind when all signs point to a change of mind. It also implies an inability to see a situation from a different point of view. People with rigid thinking see life with blinders on, perceiving only one out of the countless nuances there are. Their thinking is so rigid that anything that doesn’t meet their expectations gives them anxiety. As for blame, there have been many studies done on what causes it. | https://exploringyourmind.com/blame-rigid-thinking-mental-health/ |

People with rigid thinking see life with blinders on, perceiving only one out of the countless nuances there are. Their thinking is so rigid that anything that doesn’t meet their expectations gives them anxiety. As for blame, there have been many studies done on what causes it. In certain Judeo-Christian societies, blame has become a way to process painful things that happen. Granted, there is a positive side to blame, since it forces us to reflect and look at the pain. On the other hand, it turns negative when the blame doesn’t go away, making us feel like we’re carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders. It keeps us from moving forward and really can be quite poisonous. In addition, when it infects everything, blame is a completely destructive feeling. | https://exploringyourmind.com/blame-rigid-thinking-mental-health/ |

Content: How do I know if rigid thinking and blame are interfering in my life? In order understand how these two elements are linked to your mental health, we’ll give you an example. Picture a woman who can’t get one certain idea out of her mind because she’s been told it over and over: that when she becomes a mother she will be greatly rewarded in her circle of friends. Also, her brain is constantly thinking about one thing: that the birth of her daughter will be happy and amazing, free of any problems or doubt. The ideas in her mind about motherhood are rigid, inflexible and utopian. She thinks, “Motherhood is beautiful because it’s instinctive and I’ll do it well because it’s beautiful and instinctive.” She sees it as the only thing that will make her happy. In her mind, having doubts about it is unacceptable and dangerous to her mental health. | https://exploringyourmind.com/blame-rigid-thinking-mental-health/ |

Content: How can we find the best possible solution? When a problem worries us to the point that we begin to obsess over it, we are impeding ourselves from being able to look beyond it to find the best solution or solutions. It is as if we have a veil covering our eyes that prevents us from seeing farther, and that even inhibits our thinking. Therefore, to find the best solution, it is necessary to put distance between ourselves and the problem, look at the problem from a different point of view, and in a different way than what we are used to. In order to do that, we need to strengthen our creative thinking and be open and receptive to new perspectives of the situation. Thus, new possibilities and new horizons – and new solutions – become possible. To give it space, it is necessary to open our minds, revitalize the problem knowing that it has a solution, and stay calm and emotionally balanced when confronting the problem. Different ways of distancing yourself
Use visualization. Imagine that the problem that is on your mind in front of you, rather than on top of you. This way, you won’t feel so much weight or pressure, but rather just the responsibility to solve the problem, as well as the security that there is a solution. | https://exploringyourmind.com/dealing-with-the-problems-we-cannot-solve/ |

This way, we can imagine it in a different way, taking a different shape, and we can look for different, creative solutions. Another way to mentally process the problem is by writing using stream-of-consciousness, and letting your ideas flow without thinking. Imagining solutions and writing them down can help us find new new signs along the road. Writing these things down gives us the opportunity to be able to go back and read them. We can think about our options in a different way, relating them to each other, and evaluating and reflecting upon them or the possible outcome their combination, and what the best solution to the problem really is. | https://exploringyourmind.com/dealing-with-the-problems-we-cannot-solve/ |

However, other times it was linked to being a genius or an artist. Nowadays however, people still look down on those who suffer from mental because of those ancient myths. On the other hand, physical health has always been more visible. But now society is slowly discovering how important psychology is when it comes to physical health issues and how the two are related. Furthermore, according to the World Health Organization, health is composed of psychological, social, and physical well-being. Thus, nowadays many other health organizations have tried to preach the importance of mental well-being as a fundamental aspect of overall health.

Howard Gardner and the Theory of Multiple Intelligences
11 minutes
Last update: 23 March, 2018
For decades, people thought that intelligence was one single mental function that determined our ability to problem-solve, especially in the logical-mathematical realm. But about three decades ago Howard Gardner questioned this idea. His alternative to this global concept of intelligence was the theory of multiple intelligences. Basically, Gardner realized that people didn’t have one global intelligence that applied to every aspect of their lives. In fact, there were different kinds of intelligence that he called multiple intelligences. So, the latest psychological theories about intelligence have left behind this traditional and probably unfair concept of intelligence. Like we said, it wasn’t long ago that only the logical-mathematical and linguistic parts of intelligence were measured and developed. But the theory of multiple intelligences sees cognitive competence as a group of skills, talents, and mental abilities called “intelligences.” What’s more, everyone possesses these skills, mental abilities, and talents to some degree. | https://exploringyourmind.com/howard-gardner-theory-multiple-intelligences/ |

Academic excellence isn’t everything
Gardner defines intelligence as “the ability to solve problems, or to create products, that are valued within one or more cultural settings.” First of all, he widens the playing field for what intelligence is and recognizes what people have always known intuitively. And that is that some kinds of intelligence are related to academic success, but there are other ones, just as important, that aren’t. At least not directly, and not in the way intelligence has traditionally been measured. In fact, the academic factor usually isn’t the best predictor of how far a person will go. | https://exploringyourmind.com/howard-gardner-theory-multiple-intelligences/ |

What is Musical Intelligence? How Can I Improve It?
Content: You were either born intelligent or not, and your education could do nothing to change that. As a result of this thought, not long ago people didn’t educate mentally deficient people because they saw it as pointless. Defining intelligence as a skill means that it’s an ability you can develop. Gardner doesn’t deny the genetic component. Instead he argues that these “potentialities” will develop depending on a person’s environment, experiences, education, etc. No elite athlete gets to the top without training, no matter how good their natural abilities might be. We could say the same thing about mathematicians, poets, or emotionally intelligent people. That’s why, according to the multiple intelligences model proposed by Howard Gardner, we all have the potential to develop our intelligence, supported by our abilities and our motivation.

Logical-mathematical intelligence
Gardner defines this intelligence as the ability to understand abstract relationships. We use it to solve problems in logic and math. It lines up with the logical hemisphere’s way of thinking, and with what our culture has always seen as the only kind of intelligence (Morchio, 2004:4). According to Gardner (1999a) this intelligence deals with: the ability to juggle numbers effectively
analyze problems logically
investigate problems scientifically
These people enjoy: solving mysteries
working with numbers and complex calculations
counting
organizing information into tables
fixing computers
doing brainteasers

Five Fatalistic Beliefs that Paralyze You
Content: Or maybe you had an argument with your best friend and you thought you’d never talk to each other anymore. But that didn’t happen either. As you can see, sometimes your irrational beliefs play tricks on you and make you feel bad. However, there’s no real reason to back them up. “You mainly feel the way you think.” -Albert Ellis-
What are irrational beliefs? Irrational beliefs are the ideas you have about yourself, others, and the world, that don’t correspond with reality. They usually manifest in the form of “I should” or “I have to”. Furthermore, you consider them as obligations you must fulfill. Irrational beliefs create discomfort because they impose conditions on a person’s worth and happiness that are impossible to meet. | https://exploringyourmind.com/identifying-your-irrational-beliefs-can-improve-your-well-being/ |

The importance of the magic words and of being friendly has been ingrained in us since we were young. Being grateful and generous helps us to improve our relationships with other people and feel good about ourselves. Being friendly and respectful makes us noble and strengthens our positive qualities, because the politeness we put forth in our actions will transform us into better and better people. Coloring life with smiles, respect, and generosity is one of the best decisions you can make. We should make an effort to ingrain values like friendliness and respect into our children. How? By being an example and establishing clear limits that show them not to violate the freedoms of others. By freedoms, we mean the freedom to express one’s feelings, opinions, and requests. | https://exploringyourmind.com/importance-manners-respect/ |

But not everything is irrational…
Content: Albert Ellis was one of the founders of cognitive psychology. He started to develop his therapy in 1962 and gave it the name “rational emotive behavior therapy” (REBT). Ellis believes that a large number of psychological problems are due to patterns of irrational thought. Ellis focuses his theory on the idea that “ People are not changed by facts, but by what they think about the facts ,” in the words of the Greek stoic philosopher Epictetus. Thus we can say that the “REBT” part of the following hypothesis: It is not events (A) that create emotional states (C), but the way in which they are interpreted (B). Therefore, if we are capable of changing our mental schemata, that is, our patterns of thinking, we will be capable of creating emotional states that are less painful, more positive, and consistent with reality. Irrational ideas
So, Ellis listed a series of irrational beliefs and grouped them into 11 basic irrational ideas that we could summarize as follows: “I need love and approval from those around me” or “I have to be loved and have the approval of everyone important who is around me.” “To be valuable, I have to achieve everything that I set out to do” or “if I am a valuable person, I always have to be competent, sufficient, and capable of achieving everything that I set out to do.” | https://exploringyourmind.com/irrational-ideas-albert-ellis/ |

Classical conditioning consists of the interaction of these components. Presenting a neutral stimulus along with an unconditioned stimulus on many occasions will transform the neutral stimulus into a conditioned stimulus. For this reason, the conditioned stimulus will give a conditioned response similar to the unconditioned response. In this way, a new learning process emerged in response to the association of two different stimuli. All the research that has emerged from classical conditioning has helped us understand many aspects of human learning. Thanks to this, we can anticipate phobias and also link emotions to new stimuli.

Emotionally resilient people know how to handle tension more efficiently, and they recover more quickly from any challenges and crisis they may face. But, what do these emotional strong people do to be more efficient when it comes to managing stress? The answer resides in what is known as emotional resilience. Emotional resilience is the ability to adapt to a highly stressful situation or crisis. People who are more resilient are capable of adapting to adversity. Resilient people can manage the stress caused by life changes, whether they are large or less significant. In fact, it has been found that people who can better overcome short and less intense moments of tension, usually can also handle more intense crises with greater ease. This means that being resilient in your day to day develops your abilities to face greater problems and catastrophes. Up to a certain extent, emotional and physical resilience is innate, but it is also a skill that can be developed. | https://exploringyourmind.com/makes-people-resilient-others/ |

Up to a certain extent, emotional and physical resilience is innate, but it is also a skill that can be developed. Naturally, some people are upset less by changes and can roll with the punches better. This ability can be seen during childhood, and tends to remain stable throughout the years. Emotional resilience is also related to certain factors that are not under our control, such as age, sex and exposure to trauma. However, resilience can be developed with a bit of effort.

Last update: 12 July, 2016
The word “close-minded” has been used in popular language for a long time. We use it to describe people who display mental rigidity, or people who don’t understand or want to understand another point of view. Or people who, just to be right, will try to convince you that you’re wrong. Conventionally, when we talk about close-minded people, we’re referring to people who reject other people’s approaches, ideas, or perspectives, so they can remain “enclosed” in their own ideas and mental schemas. These are people who try to adapt the world to their own minds and not the other way around. This word, among many others that have been popularized, has more depth when you look at it from a psychologist’s perspective. The word “close-minded” has different variants in psychology. We’ll focus on two of them, since their meanings are quite similar. Mental rigidity
Mental rigidity involves a lack of flexibility and open-mindedness towards seeing ideas from different perspectives, towards withstanding criticism of something we believe in, and towards living instead of surviving. | https://exploringyourmind.com/mental-rigidity/ |

Mental rigidity involves a lack of flexibility and open-mindedness towards seeing ideas from different perspectives, towards withstanding criticism of something we believe in, and towards living instead of surviving. This term has been used frequently in clinical psychology as a phenomenon, a symptom, and a personality feature. Here are some examples: As a clinical phenomenon, psychoanalysis describes mental rigidity as a patient’s resistance to change or something else they want to avoid. This definition is very similar to the way we use it daily. One example would be a patient’s mental rigidity towards love or commitment, which makes these things even harder to achieve. | https://exploringyourmind.com/mental-rigidity/ |

The need for cognitive closure
Are you close-minded?
Content: In clinical psychology, it generally means a set of mental, emotional, and behavioral characteristics (but mostly mental) that occur together. Thus, there is a spectrum of mental rigidity with two opposite poles: high and low rigidity. The need for cognitive closure
The second definition of mental rigidity is a little twist on the idea of close-minded people. The need for cognitive closure refers to the need to eliminate the uncertainty that arises from certain thoughts and situations. This need motivates the person to find a quick answer. The greater need for closure, the more energy they’ll put into accepting that answer and defending it. Even so, that doesn’t mean the answer is correct, true, genuine, or even healthy. But what does this have to do with close-minded people? It’s simple. | https://exploringyourmind.com/mental-rigidity/ |

A close-minded person, or someone with a high need for cognitive closure, would say that it isn’t ash, it’s snow. And that’s that.

Obsessive personality
Possessive and controlling men are characterized by obsessive personalities. They want to know it all and always seem to be on the defensive. They get angry easily and, at times, try to contain their aggressiveness. The obsession to control where their partner is at every moment, with whom they speak, or what friendships they have turns into the main focus of the relationship. Despite telling him what they’re doing and where they’re at, he’ll keep trying to know it for sure. He’ll always want to confirm that what their partner said is true. Now, it’s important that we keep in mind that we’re all free. Nobody has the right to decide who we can go out with or how we should dress. | https://exploringyourmind.com/possessive-and-controlling-men-characteristics-attitudes/ |

Jealousy is a response to deep feelings of self-insecurity directed toward a partner. Thus, it surfaces when a person feels in danger of not being loved anymore. They’re afraid of no longer being the center of attention of their loved one, even if this isn’t true. In other words, they’re afraid of abandonment. | https://exploringyourmind.com/possessive-and-controlling-men-characteristics-attitudes/ |

Possessive and controlling men, in addition to calling and sending many messages a day, get angry when their partners don’t answer right away. If you experience this with your partner at a beginning of your relationship, it’s advisable to talk to them about it. If he still isn’t able to understand, we recommend you end things. However, when it happens in a stable relationship, it’s advisable to discuss it or consult a professional. You must know that your cell phone is a very personal item. Nobody should control your calls or messages. You have a right to your privacy. Being in touch is important. However, when they call you constantly, it could be a form of telephone harassment. Your partner does this to know where you are, with whom, and what you’re doing at every moment. | https://exploringyourmind.com/possessive-and-controlling-men-characteristics-attitudes/ |

Abusive Situations – Why Is It So Hard To Get Out?
Content: Nobody should control your calls or messages. You have a right to your privacy. Being in touch is important. However, when they call you constantly, it could be a form of telephone harassment. Your partner does this to know where you are, with whom, and what you’re doing at every moment. Possessiveness
Living with possessive and controlling men is practically impossible. They submit and repress the other person. In addition, these men tend to feel possessive toward their partner. This means that they consider their partner their property and decide for them without taking what they want into account. This can lead to situations of psychological abuse. | https://exploringyourmind.com/possessive-and-controlling-men-characteristics-attitudes/ |

Abusive Situations – Why Is It So Hard To Get Out?
Content: Love is all about freedom, respect, and trust. Therefore, it’s important to establish certain limits in relationships. It’s important that they love you just the way you are, but above all that they value and respect you. They demand you change your tastes and the way you are
Generally, possessive and controlling men persuade their partner to leave their hobbies, concerns, and friendships. They don’t want their partner to have interests they can’t control. In extreme cases, possessive and controlling men can become verbally or physically abusive. They want the other person to behave and do everything they expect and desire. In these situations, what’s most important is for the victims to seek both professional and legal help as soon as possible. In conclusion, we should remember that love, respect, and the desire to help your partner grow are the most important things in a relationship. “When someone fights for their dignity, for equality, and for freedom, look them in the eye.” | https://exploringyourmind.com/possessive-and-controlling-men-characteristics-attitudes/ |

Conclusion
Why are Statistics Useful in Psychology?
Content: Depending on our education, experiences, and personal history, we’ll have certain ways of perceiving what happens around us. These judgments are totally subjective. Therefore, they’re a part of our life but have nothing to do with the scientific discipline of psychology. Scientific psychology
Scientific psychology is the total opposite of intuitive psychology. Specifically, it doesn’t rely on beliefs or judgments to explain human behavior. Instead, it uses the scientific method and experimentation to collect objective data and interpret it. Psychological concepts are born as a result of the investigations carried out. Knowing the difference between opinion and interpretation will help us understand that psychology is a science. Opinions are beliefs we have due to our experiences. For example, we can say that human beings are good and that society corrupts them because our experiences are consistent with this idea. | https://exploringyourmind.com/psychology-science/ |

What’s mental health?
Although people’s ability to handle day-to-day conflicts and transform their reality is of great importance, there are other decisive factors when it comes to mental health:

How Has Our Way of Treating Mental Health Problems Evolved?
Content: “What mental health needs is more sunlight, more candor, and more unashamed conversation.” -Glenn Close-
What’s mental health? As Oramas, Santana, and Vergara (2013) said, mental health consists of learning about reality to then transform it through confrontation, management, and integrating conflict resolution; both internal to the individual and those surrounding them. When there’s a disturbance in this learning process, or if the individual fails in the attempt of their resolution, one can begin to talk about illness. Other authors such as Riviere said something along the same lines, that mental health is conceived as the ability to maintain dialectical and transformative relationships with the world which allow the resolution of the individual’s internal contradictions as well as those related to their social context. ( Quoted by Oramas, Santana, and Vergara. 2013). According to the World Health Organization, mental health is defined as “a state of well-being in which every individual realizes his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her or his community”. Although people’s ability to handle day-to-day conflicts and transform their reality is of great importance, there are other decisive factors when it comes to mental health: | https://exploringyourmind.com/psychosocial-intervention-in-mental-health/ |

This happens when we try to adopt a role that goes beyond our limits or when we introduce ourselves to too much change too quickly. Our bodies and minds have a difficult time responding to radical changes. At the end of the day, our roles should be unique and non-transferable. There may be things we need to adapt to when we enter a new group. These roles probably come with a set of general guidelines and actions, but they should accommodate us and not the other way around. | https://exploringyourmind.com/role-theory-role-play-society/ |

The Psychological Effects of Tik Tok
17 September, 2020
Tik Tok videos only last a few seconds, but they're creative and even moving. They're becoming almost indispensible for those of a certain age. However, what psychological effects does this famous app have on young people? Gustav Klimt and the Search for Psychological Truth
Digital Autobiography - Your Cell Phone Knows You Better
Lay Epistemics and the Generation of Knowledge
Generation Z (young people born between 1997 and 2015) are obsessed with Tik Tok. If you’re not familiar with this social media app, you should know that a Tik Tok user recently managed to plan and execute a boycott of a Donald Trump rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma. All they did was ask people to reserve seats for the event, and then not show up. The campaign was wildly successful. About 14,000 of the 20,000 seats in the venue were empty on the night of the event. Trump had to do his rally in a nearly empty stadium. It was a powerful message to Trump and his followers, but also a sign of just how popular Tik Tok has become. | https://exploringyourmind.com/the-psychological-effects-of-tik-tok/ |

The popularity has been heightened perhaps due to users’ growing mistrust of Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. What’s so special about this Chinese app that’s barely four years old?

Tik Tok is designed for this type of consumerism based on image and immediacy. In a nutshell, Tik Tok allows users to create unique videos that last between 15 to 60 seconds. They use hashtags, you can tag people, leave comments and likes, etc. The most attractive thing, however, is that someone with only a few followers can still go viral.

Also, because any video can go viral no matter the number of followers you have, a new goal among young people is to be a Tik Tok star. What effect does this have on the user’s mental health? Well, the answer is more complex and profound than you might think. Because anyone over the age of 12 can access this app, we’re starting to see hypersexualized videos of young girls hoping to gain followers and create buzz. Many parents don’t even know that this app exists. Consequently, they also don’t know that their child is spending hours watching Tik Tok and making their own videos. It’s a huge distraction from any other activity, especially schoolwork.

Any technology, application, program, or virtual platform has incredible benefits and dangerous downsides. Again, everything depends on how you use them. Social networks such as Tik Tok are attracting more and more young people through incredibly clever artificial intelligence that creates addicts en masse. Its strategy is to practically hypnotize the user so that they’ll stay connected for hours. Maybe you start by watching a cover of a song from your favorite artists, and then you see a dancing cat, a teacher doing a science experiment, and twins dancing. | https://exploringyourmind.com/the-psychological-effects-of-tik-tok/ |

Education is the factor that most influences the configuration of our minds. It is normal for people with rigid minds to also be children of rigid parents. That rigidity is, in principle, a defense mechanism. Fixed ideas give you a feeling of greater control and protect you from uncertainty. Those who have these traits are ideal for disciplined jobs and activities. On the other hand, those who have rigid minds could also be somewhat superficial. They do not stop to analyze or evaluate the validity of ideas or actions. | https://exploringyourmind.com/three-types-of-minds-which-is-yours/ |

Three Types of Minds, Which Is Yours?
Rigid minds: resistance to adopting new perspectives
Fluid minds: a chameleon -like perspective
Flexible minds: a point of balance
Content: That rigidity is, in principle, a defense mechanism. Fixed ideas give you a feeling of greater control and protect you from uncertainty. Those who have these traits are ideal for disciplined jobs and activities. On the other hand, those who have rigid minds could also be somewhat superficial. They do not stop to analyze or evaluate the validity of ideas or actions. They assume that everything must happen in an orderly fashion, which is also predetermined. This leads to their having great difficulties to be creative and that is why they usually limit themselves to repeating themselves. They may feel very confused and helpless if something or someone takes them out of their comfort zone. The lack of control over situations usually generates a lot of anguish and they suffer for it.

Nine types of sexual abuse
Types of child sexual abuse
Take My Eyes: Portraying Gender Violence
Content: Gender violence, domestic violence, intrafamily violence, and inegalitarian education. Gender violence and intrafamily violence affect socialization. Discriminatory education makes it difficult for people to fully develop their affection and sexuality. Sexual negligence. Living in a sexually violent society, not accepting that people with disabilities have sexual needs, and not providing a good sexual education at home or at school. Types of child sexual abuse
Sexual abuse can disturb children and teen development. Most abused girls get touched below the waist, while boys may be molested below or above the waist and also get masturbated or have to masturbate their abuser. When the abuse is frequent, the effects worsen in 40% or 50% of cases. This happens because the child feels impotent or the abuse becomes more aggressive. It’s important to teach kids to respect their bodies as well as others’, both sexually and non-sexually. | https://exploringyourmind.com/types-sexual-abuse/ |

How to say what you feel
Change your negative thoughts to positive ones
Be aware that other people cannot read your mind
Remember your objectives
Be clear about what you are expressing
Content: If you don’t say what you think or feel, other people cannot guess or know it. This will only make you feel worse. Saying what you feel, stating your opinions, sharing ideas, or being able to say “no” will allow you to feel free and like you are in control of your life. Being assertive is to affirm and support oneself. “Always say what you feel and do what you think.” -Gabriel Garcia Marquez-
Reasons to say what you feel
To say what you feel might make you feel a little anxious, but not saying what you think or feel can affect your relationships with other people. Therefore, below we have given you five reasons to say and express what you truly think and feel. You will feel freed
When you express your opinions or feelings, or let out what bothers or worries you, with respect, love, and care, you will feel a deep sensation of freedom. When you don’t express your emotions, they become a heavy weight that you carry with you day after day. Over time this can damage our relationships with others, although we may not even be aware of it. | https://exploringyourmind.com/why-you-should-say-what-you-feel-and-how-to-do-it/ |

Active Aging: A Key Part of Well-Being in Old Age
Content: Death
Learning to accept death as a part of life is a fundamental pillar in the wisdom of the elderly. The truth is that they accept that death is near, but that doesn’t keep them from living their lives. Realizing this makes them enjoy what they have so much more. They continue to add great memories and experiences to the story of their lives. However, other types of losses are a bit more difficult to deal with. For example the deterioration of their own physical and mental abilities and losing people close to them (friends and family). Family occupies the most important place in their hearts, as it is during childhood. The difference is that it’s not their parents who play the most important role, but their children. Most elderly people feel better or worse depending on how they envision their children’s future. They want them to settle down, have a family of their own, and be happy. | https://exploringyourmind.com/wisdom-of-the-elderly/ |

Being thankful is a huge part of the wisdom of the elderly. They’re thankful for the life they’ve lived and for being able to see how the world continues to develop. They don’t regret the difficulties they went through because they understand they wouldn’t have learned so many valuable lessons without them. When they’re playing cards with their grandchildren and spending quality time with their families, you see just how full of life they really are. They remind us how important it is to work, to do what we love, and to expand our abilities as much as we can. | https://exploringyourmind.com/wisdom-of-the-elderly/ |

Elderly people regret the moments in which they were too focused on professionalism and work instead of creating memories with their loved ones. On the other hand, they do mention how vital it is to feel satisfied and proud of our hard work. When talking about this, I can’t help but remember an 80-year-old woman who enrolled in painting classes although she had never painted before. Now she gives paintings to her entire family, which makes her feel thankful and proud of being able to create art despite her age. | https://exploringyourmind.com/wisdom-of-the-elderly/ |

Content: A third element of working with parents as partners is mutual problem-solving. When a problem arises, the teacher and parent work together to solve the problem. Both teacher and parent provide their perspectives on the problem and come up with solutions together. (opens in new window) Attitudes
Attitudes can foster partnership or create a barrier to partnership. Viewing parent involvement as a continuum, rather than categories (uninvolved vs. involved) helps develop partnerships with parents. This means taking the perspective that all parents are involved to some degree. Some parents are involved at a high level, acting as active partners and educational leaders at home and school, whereas others are involved at lower levels, acting as a recipients of education and support from the school. For parents experiencing transitions such as divorce or remarriage, lower levels of involvement may be all that are possible. Attitudes are often shaped by our own experiences, professional and personal, in childhood and adulthood. For example, if your parents are divorced or you have experienced a divorce, those experiences may color your attitudes about divorced parents and their children. | https://extension.missouri.edu/publications/gh6611 |
