Restatement summary ''Babies show social intelligence''

It is known what babies at the age of six months have learned to sit up, talk or walk, but also it is believed that babies can assess someone's intentions toward them.

Killey Hamlin and colleagues at the Yale university done the experiment with 12 six-month-old and 16 ten-month-old babies, in order to find if babies have social intelligence. The experiment was done with using toys by giving them different characters. It was noticed that babies recognise the positive behaviour. It is believed taht the reasons of this could be that the experiment was done when babies were sitting with their parents.

Scientists believe that this experiment proved that babies are able to show their social intelligence.

The person who influenced me...

I was allways complaining about my life, my friends, what I have too little money, how I looks. I thought that my life is the worst in whole world. But one day I heard a terrible news about my best friend Jolita. She was ill and her illness probably untreatable. She said to me, might be that she is living her last days. At first I was just shocked and couldn't think clearly. But after some time when I saw how she is enjoying her life I feel better, and started to believe. she allways was the optimist, and said me that everything would be all right. And she was right. It's a miracle that now she is healthy.

Jolita teached me to be the optimist like her and enjoy of every second of my life. After this event I become much more stronger. Now I know that my life is the best it could be, my friends are amazing and I am absolutely different.

I am proud of my friend Jolita. She helped my to grow up, to become a personality.

Phobias...

Once I saw a documentic film about the people who have various phobias life. There was very interesting to watch, because their life are a little bit strange. Sometimes people are afraid of very unusual things such as gold, books, microbs and so on...

First of all, I was very interested in people who have phobia of microbs, which is called microphobia. These people who have this phobia allways are afraid to touch anything because they imagine that all around them exist lot of microbs and they can cause the hard diseases. These people are washing their hands about fifty times per day, that is very harmful for they skin. Also these people everytime eat with a fork or a spoon even a chips or candies. But besides this they can live quite normally.

Also I was interested in people who have Uranophobia- Phobia of paradise. They imagine, if they behave badly they won't go to the paradise. So these people are enjoying their lives by doing whatever they want. And their behaviour usually is negative.

I think that these people who have some kind of phobias are unique and worth of attention.

Sleep and dreams...

Today I wake up early in the morning, as allways with a hate to my alarm-clock... Every morning it waken me up when I'm dreaming the most beautiful dream and don't let me to sleep any more. I can't stand to wake up early in the morning... If I had an apportunity I would sleep half a day. Maybe it can sounds a little bit stupid, but it is so. Sometimes in the weekends when I'm lieing in my bed half a day, my parents laughting of me that if noone would say nothing to me, i just could live in the bed all the time. Maybe... :)

If really I think that I like to sleep so much because I allways haven't time for that. Also, of course, the sleep is needed for me to have a rest, after a hard day, like for all people. It is strange, but people usually haven't enough time for sleep, what is very harmfull for the health.
One of the most interesting things that we could feel during the sleep there are dreams. They are like a little movies created in our uncountious. Each night we could see the unique ''film'' with familiar ''actors''. Even though someting dreams are scary, they bring a lot of joy to me. :)

If someone now is reading this message, I want to wish you: sweet dreams... ;)

Colours...

There is so many colours around me. Blue, red, yellow, brown, green... It's so enjoyable to wake up in the morning and see the colourful world. Since childhood everyone know that the sun is yellow, grass is green, sky is blue... But hardly anyone can imagine the importance of colours in our lives. Each colour have a different meaning which can help people not just to see the nature beauty, but even help to understand how its determine people behaviour, mood, character.

One field of psychology it is Psychology of colours. Psychologists of this field examining the meanings of colours in order to understant people thoughts, feelings... The colour which person like the most could give many information about him. For example, if person wear brown colour ctothes it shows that he is weak. Psychology of colours is very interesting field, but we have little information about it.

My favorite color is red. It is creativity, energy, humor and friedship colour. So I believe that I have all these features. My room is painted green, in order to create a calm surrounding that is very important for having a good rest.

I think that colours paint our lives, we live like in a huge picture, which is caled World. So we should be enjoyable of being a part of this beautiful picture.

Thoughts about School psychology...

Psychology is the science which has many fields. Each problem could be solved by many different ways and by many different specialists. Every psychologist works at the field which is the most acceptable for him. There is 20 subfields of psyhology, like Clinical, Cognitive, Forensic, School, Personality and others... After getting a Bachelor degree every student could choose one of these subfields and specialize on it. Now I'm thinking about possibility to specialize on School psychology.

First of all, I think that the main reason for this choise is that I love being in the surrounding of young people and socialize with them. So school would be the best place for that. Secondly, in schools were are so many problematical childs and the specialists of this field it is especially needed. In my opinion, the specialists should be young, because it looks much more confidant than the older.

In the other hand, work with children it is very hard, because sometimes they can't or just don't want to understand that psychologist can help them to find the best way how to solve their problems. Besides, teenagers is the most unaccommodating group of people. But I hope, that if one day I become a School psychology specialist I could overbear all the difficulties and help for every children that will need my help.

My choice

This year was the time of the most important decisions making. The time when life is changing... I had to decide what I want to study at the university. My head was full of different minds. My parents and friends could suggest me just to listen my heart, but I wasn't sure if I could choose the best way. It was really hard to make a decision because there were so much possibilities and just one choise, which, of course, will determine my life.

Psychology is the scientific study of behavior and mental processes. It allways seemed to be a very interesting science. I was thinking about the possibility to choose Psychology studies at the university since 10-th class, so i decided not to change my opinion. So, for this reason now I'm studying Psychology at Mykolo Romerio university, and I'm very glad to be there. I hope I'll get much valuable experience and news here, and I think what I'll never regret for making this decision...
