Research Topics
The consciousness psychological topic interest me because it dives into what happens with our brain during sleep and hypnosis. It also discusses the affect that psychoactive drugs can have on us physically and mentally. It is interesting to see how the brain can be altered by taking certain drugs to change how we feel all with just a simple change of a few chemicals. How does this all take part in to psychology? I think there is so much learn from this and how it can affect people on a daily basis.
Developmental Psychology
One of the fascinating things about developmental psychology is how your brain and thought process changes throughout all the different stages of life. How is it that certain behaviors and abilities can develop so quickly while others take so much longer? It is thought-provoking to see how and when these take place. Is it genetic factors or external surroundings that cause differences in some of these? It definitely excites me to see all of the different theories out there that surround this.
Mental Health
Mental health has definitely come to the forefront in today’s society. I believe a lot of this has to do with how quickly information can spread due to social media. How do mental disorders change the way people think? Is it as simple as changing to a healthy lifestyle physically by working out and eating healthy or is by getting of all the negative social media in life? Does it require a more professional therapy? Delving into mental health from a general psychology standpoint can hopefully open my eyes into seeing how these things develop.
