Do Optimists live longer?
|
|
|
|
The article stated that being an optimist is
|
|
beneficail towards your health. Tests have shown that
|
|
cancer has been found in more people who are
|
|
pessimists then the optimist. I don't know if this is
|
|
coincidental or a real fact. The article compares
|
|
"Joe" and "Frank" two war veterans from World War One
|
|
and how both have negative memories of the war and
|
|
military life in general, however Frank is a
|
|
pessimist, and since the war he has been to the doctor
|
|
many more times then Joe, and it has been the same
|
|
case in other 'optimist-pessimist' comparisons...

A Study On Hypnosis
|
|
|
|
The qualities that make a succesful hynotist are very
|
|
minimal. All it takes is a good tecnique. Some people
|
|
arent able to be hypnotized, however highly
|
|
hypnotizable people are able to set aside ordinary
|
|
reality. It is also said that while being in the state
|
|
of hypnotzm, it is possible to use the left hemisphere
|
|
of your brain as much as the right side of yur brain
|
|
which controls all the major functions such as
|
|
muscles, spacial perception, and general imagination.

Right Brain Blues
|
|
|
|
This artical was very intersting. It stated that the
|
|
right side of the brain holds our depression.
|
|
Happiness and "fighting-power" find their hime in the
|
|
left brain. The right brain generallly houses a;; the
|
|
negative feelings such as wariness, depression, and
|
|
anxiety. Also it was noted that anesthetizing the
|
|
left brain before nuerological surgery left the
|
|
patient depressed, and when they put the right brain
|
|
to sleep the patient felt euphoric..

Stress for Success
|
|
|
|
This article explains how stress can affect athletic
|
|
events. I found it to be a little rediculous because
|
|
it wants you (as a coach) to focus on stress , keep a
|
|
stress log, and massage eachother as to release
|
|
tension, Personally this was the worst article in my
|
|
study.

Major Personality Study Finds
|
|
that Traits are Mostly Genetic
|
|
|
|
A study of 350 pairs of twins was made, the twins
|
|
all brought up in different inviroments, families, and
|
|
schools. It showed that personality traits where
|
|
genetic, because most of the twins compared by the
|
|
doctors noticed that even though the way they dressed
|
|
and talked ect, is all enviromental, however traits
|
|
such as : Leadership, braveness, aggression ect, where
|
|
all basically the same. These theories were brought
|
|
about after a week of extensive testing. Most of the
|
|
twins in the experiment where brought together for the
|
|
first time during these tests.

What I Thought of my Study Topic
|
|
|
|
I enjoyed my study on pyscology. I have been in a few
|
|
classes where it has been discussed. As a science I
|
|
think it to be the most intersting topic pertaining to
|
|
humans'. As the years progress we are getting closer
|
|
and closer to finding out what our brains' really are,
|
|
and how they work and how to use it to the fullest
|
|
extent, however I predict that to be after my life
|
|
time.
|
|
|
|
I learned many things during my course of study, I
|
|
learned the mental affects of genticson peopel. It is
|
|
also impostant to have the desire to be healthy and
|
|
have a positive out look outlook on life . Corrally
|
|
you will be happier. Happiness is healthy, being
|
|
healthy , you live longer.
|
|
|
|
After studying pyscology a little deeper then I ever
|
|
had before I would also like to add that I did a study
|
|
on pictures, which is very important in the way you
|
|
think, subconscientously, you don't realize what is
|
|
going on menatlly with your self, however when you
|
|
draw a picture it all comes out, even though you still
|
|
dont know it until the picture is analyzed. Hypnotizm
|
|
does the same thing, however you don't rember what
|
|
went on during that specific time of the trance. In
|
|
the mean time , everything you do , or that goes on in
|
|
your life, it is stored in your brain, the best VCR on
|
|
the market !
