Psychology of colours

Every one of us when wants to buy anything attaches importance to colours. Why it happens? We can see a great many colour things in streets, shops and eventually in our home. We like some of colours or combination of colours and do not like colors which are liked our friends or members of family. Of course, we will say that it is our choice: what we like and what do not like. But everything what relates with our choice is analysed by psychology.

Accordingly choice of colours is the object to research in psychology. Any choice which we do in a life has a very large importance for understanding ourselves. That is stated by contemporary psychologists. It was known already in ancient times. For example nowadays we have symbolism, which has several hundred years old, I talk about flag, blazon and many other things. Colours of symbolism have a large importance, but I would like to talk about how colours which are chosen can influence us.

Red colors can stimulate warmth, hunger, and excitement. Cooler colors such as green and blues enhance calm and content feelings. Dark colors make objects seem heavier, while light colors make them seem lighter. Yellow may reflect a lack of worry, while black a troubled state.

But why we need interest in this sphere, if some of psychologists have a sceptical view about this topic? In my mind it is a very important but very difficult topic. I think we have little information which allows us to value that knowledge in this sphere is useful for us or not. I hope that we research phenomenon of colours and it will help people to decide them problems by more easy way.

Our Phobias

I would like to talk about phobias. I think it is very interesting and very difficult topic together, because on the one hand it is odd phenomenon but on the other hand it is disorder.
A phobia (from the Greek φόβος "Phobos" meaning Fear), is an irrational, persistent fear of certain situations, objects, activities, or persons. The main symptom of this disorder is the excessive, unreasonable desire to avoid the feared subject.

There are no people, who have not quite a one phobia. It shows the list of phobias, which has more than 5 hundred names. There are not sphere in our life, where phobia can not evidence. For example: electrophobia, bibliophobia, lachanophobia. Of course some of kind of this disease could to be made us smile, but in my opinion it is a serious problem not only for person, who has this disorder, but generally for society. I talk about xenophobia and others kinds of phobia, which can influence not only relationships between some people, but among nation or race. I think now it is particularly important to research this problem, if we want to escape the world catastrophe.

Like other people I have some phobias. They are not evidenced often, but enough strong. I think my phobias are typical for girls, I am afraid of insects, snakes, and other essences which have more than 4 legs. This disorders call Snakephobia and Insectophobia. Scarlett Johansson, Nicole Kidman and Justin Timberlake have these phobias too.

Person who can be example for other

Every one of us meets people, who has a large influence on our out-look. They can form our personal qualities even if we do not behold this.

I would like to talk about my friend, who has a large influence on my opinions about many things. I think, thank to him I formed views about many appearances in our life and now I can decide problems. I met with him, when I was ten or eleven years old, at this point he was 19 or 20 years old. I think it is very important that he was as follows years old. He can play with me, but with that he was elder. He is my family friend, he know me since my birthday. But communion with this person, how as a very influential experience, has begun when I was ten years old.

Primary qualities, which he help to form in myself, to my mind is knowledge about how to conflict. It is at mean to defend one’s point of view, the ability to listen other people and to face own mistakes. In my childhood was some situation (about which I do not remember something) there are this human gave me advice, how “without blood” to protect my interests. Of course, all people are egoists, particularly children, and we can say that is not merit of this man. But his advices helped me to escape problems. Moreover I remember about situation when my friend hot discussed with other grown-up. I was very surprised when he had said that he agree with he’s opponent. For me this behavior was new, because I could not understand how he, who is always right, can bow down to one’s enemies.

These situations, which are described here, can show not important, but I think, that they had a large influence on me. Of course, if this person was not in my life, even so I could have these qualities, but it could happen more lately. I am very thankful to him for advices and examples.

Subfields of psychology

Psychology is a very interesting science and like others sciences, has much trends and specializations. Philosophy could be named its "mother”. Psychology is enough a young science, but despite this, variety of spheres, in which psychology is used, shows that this science is a very important.

Psychology continually develops. It determines not only a person's almighty wish to know himself, but daily increscent needs to settle problems, which appear in the world every day. When IT came into being, it was arisen problems, which were related with a dependence on computer. Wilhelm Wundt, psychology's science founder, even did not know about such problems. So psychology owes and develops together with our civilization. Of course, variety of spheres shows not only round of our needs, but different opinions about certain problems, for example behavioral and cognitive keys of psychology. We can not say, which of this school of psychology is righter, but it is not a vice. Sea of opinions about one question helps to make a righter view of appearance. Through this we can easily decide a problem.

When students, psychologists in the future, passed into the university and thought about themselves perspectives in the future, they saw differently a work which they will be doing. Somebody would work in schools, analyse children's behaviour, form an individual and help to decide problems, which can begin, when children grow. Other people dreamed to do experiments, which are not done before, and to do the discovery, that can help progeny to understand phenomenons in psychology. Likely, all these examples do not show all variety of spheres, where psychologist can work.

When I had begun to study in department of psychology and had planned my future, I encountered with problem. Psychology is a much broadcast, insomuch that if you want, you can use own knowledge everywhere. It is evident that specialization known as psychology of women is a very interesting and even useful thing like for my like for other women. Nowadays when there are much violence in the world, knowledge about how to surmount aggression, to my mind is a very necessary for women.

Also I am very interested in branch of psychology such as Cross-cultural psychology. Nowadays most of political scientists, philosophers, journalists tell that there are two civilization - West and East, Christian and Islamic civilizations in the world. Actions of terrorism in Europe, wars in the East show that there is crisis in the world. Everybody is influenced not only parents or friends but and country where we born, culture, and religion. Such contribution of our country is named mentality. Mentality is mindset that is typical for some ethnic groups or nations. Cross-cultural psychology analyses differences and problems among people from different countries. I think that this subfield is a very actual and promising, because globalization in the world takes in more and more countries and consolidate people in the world.

Because I plan to get an undergraduate major, I am interested about possibility to study in our university. There are three subfields of psychology major in our university. They are social, business psychology and psychology of laws. So if about me, I would like to work in social psychology.

My future profession is psychologist.

Every one of us takes important decisions in life. It concerns all sphere of our existence, for example a resolve in religion or acceptance of social rules. Sometimes our decisions can be very important and serious, because they can influence our future. In my opinion a choice of the future profession is put among such decisions.

Year by year thousands of young people have to pick a profession. Some of their does that very responsibly, considers what they want to work, what is interesting for them, and values qualities of themselves and also possibilities for career in perspective.

If talking of me, I have chosen profession of psychologist, and I think that I have done this rightly. When I learnt in school I reasoned about my future, and went deep into learning subjects which can be necessary for myself and for my study in the university. I have always known that I will work in a social sphere, and as a result I went deep in the social and humanitarian studies by as literature, history, languages.

Why I have chosen psychology? First of all, I have always wanted to work with people, job relating with IT or mechanics is not interesting for me, because IT or mechanics can be only good or bad, tainted or not, while people are very complex "mechanisms". All computers are like, while there are not two persons, who would be like absolutely. It is impossible. Moreover, profession of psychologist is profession sort of doctor, because psychologists help people, but psychologists are perfected not a person's physical health, but psychical. Of course, when I had chosen my profession, I valued my possibilities and personal qualities for this choice. I think people, who are psychologists, have to be very liable, because they have a large influence, practically they can change client's life. It depends on they, how client’s life will change, life can become worse or better. Also how psychologist in the future, I need be very friendly, commune easily, that people, who have some problems, could be open when they talk with me, and I can help them. And all in all I need want to help people always and everywhere.

So, I think I can be a good psychologist and my personal qualities are fit. The future will show.
