Human Behavior

An hypnotic trance is a "monoideistic" dissociated state of mind: attention is fixed on a single stimuli (eg a particular point - maybe a dot or spiral, or candle flame, or pendulum, or perhaps a sound or voice); there's usually bodily immobility/ relaxation, and general awareness is very reduced. Someone in an hypnotic trance remains aware, but awareness is extremely focused (usually on the hypnotist's voice), and it's not unusual for someone who has been hypnotized to have only vague recollections of the specific details of what happened when they were in trance. This, however, varies considerably, and many people remember every detail of their trance experiences.

This state may (and frequently does) occur spontaneously (eg when absorbed in reading a book or watching a movie, or performing a tedious and repetitive task, or when "daydreaming"), but in the generally understood sense comes about when one person deliberately induces it in another. It is perfectly "normal"; totally natural, and quite safe - although caution should be exercised in trying to hypnotize victims of severe trauma. Someone in hypnosis is not "under" another person's "control", and although hypnotized people are generally more responsive to suggestions, they can not be made to do/ say anything they don't want to.

No-one can become "stuck" in hypnosis (although some people with severe mental illnesses, certain personality disorders, and severe trauma victims, may enter long-term dissociative states bearing, to the uninformed, some similarities to hypnotic trances: such are signs/ symptoms of their severe psychological problems/ illnesses, not hypnotic trances!), and a hypnotized person left unattended will either emerge spontaneously from trance after a short time (usually 15 minutes at most), or simply fall into a natural sleep to awaken a few hours later. Similarly, a hypnotized person told to act in any way that is fundamentally offensive to him/ her will either remain unresponsive, or - more probably - exit the hypnotic state instantly, and probably react angrily.

There are numerous theories (some more credible than others!) about the precise nature of the hypnotic trance. Some assert that trance induction has the effect of switching the brain into a state where Right Hemisphere Functions (ie those to do with imagination, emotion, intuition) predominate over the more logical/ analytical Left Hemisphere Functions enabling people to respond less critically/ analytically and more imaginatively and spontaneously than would normally be the case. Another theory is that hypnotism is the deliberate activation of the REM State (when limb paralysis, dreaming, and information processing occur during sleep) in a conscious person enabling him/ her to enter a dream like state of intuitive playfulness. A third view is that the hypnotic trance is an elaborate form of role play largely brought about by the expectations and beliefs of the person being hypnotized. This is not to deny its reality - anything but... rather it's an assertion that someone in an hypnotic trance has become completely absorbed in his/ her own mind/ mental processes to the exclusion of all else.

Probably, in truth, it's a bit of a mixture of all of these. Certainly, deeply hypnotized people typically show signs of much outlined above - eg critical/ analytical faculties tend to be reduced considerably; willingness to engage in fantasy/ general suggestibility are amplified; Rapid Eye Movement (and eye inversion) are common, as is an unusual degree of physical immobility (and partial and total paralysis of limbs, eyelids etc are often readily induced), and there is a greater willingness than usual to consider/ engage with "imagined realities", play etc..

Some people enter hypnotic trances far more readily than others - most notably those who already have strong fantasizing tendencies (eg creative "artistic" types; those who had imaginary friends in childhood; those who read a lot of fantasy, Sci-Fi type books, and/ or who greatly enjoy film and drama; actors/ perfomance artists etc.), and those who are "natural dissociators" (eg regular "daydreamers"; victims of severe trauma etc) - but most normal people can be hypnotized to some degree if they are willing and cooperative.

Anyone willing and able to concentrate and follow instructions can be hypnotized if they want to be, but it helps considerably if they are also interested in the mind, and willing to "let go" and explore/ experiment - an open mind is a great asset here! Contrary to what many believe, the most responsive people tend to be psychologically stable, broad minded, extroverts of higher than average intelligence. Personally insecure, neurotic, highly controlling types do not generally find it easy to enter hypnotic trances.

* Disinterest in work or family life * Disinterest in social life or alienation from previously close friends and family * Sleep disruption or much longer periods of sleep * Significant changes in appetite, such as eating too little or too much * Paranoid thoughts, such as the thought people are trying to harm you * Thoughts of grandeur or invincibility * Feelings of persistent anxiety or panic attacks * Hearing voices * Seeing people who are not there * Thoughts of dying or wish to die * Exhibiting strong or violent anger * Having flashbacks to a prior traumatic event * Increasing dependence on alcohol or drugs * Inability to pursue a normal life, normal activities or normal relationships

Maternal rejection or maternal abandonment is when a mother shows disinterest or neglect towards her baby, failing to provide the emotional and physical care that is necessary for the infant's well-being and development. This can have serious consequences on the child's emotional and psychological health.

It really depends in a situation where the biological parents are raising the children they influence both nature (by passing on their genes) and nurture (by raising them and instilling values.

On the other hand if a child is born to biological parents and they are unable to care for the child, put that baby up for adoption the adopted parents would nurture and there would in essence be no nature involved in this scenario.

Structuralism is important because it was a basis of many things we know about psychology nowadays and history is always important when you want to understand a subject. People don't really follow structuralism anymore though because it's been proven to not be a very good approach. Introspection and studying the structure of the brain doesn't explain behaviors and cognition well enough to really create good theories. This is why people now focus more on these approaches: humanistic, psychodynamic, biological, behaviorist, cognitive, and social-cultural.

You might have heard this before, but the base is the most important part of a structure or building, in this case it may be called the "psychological structure".

Childhood tends to mark and form us the most because it's an age where we encounter new things on a constant basis and, as you might have noticed even when you grew up, the first encounter with a certain object or person will usually involuntarily influence the experience, feelings and thoughts that follow after, regarding that respective thing.

Also, lack of experience (which you have plenty of when young) leads to you understanding and perceiving a thing in the wrong way, especially when someone is not there to explain it to you or guide you through. The image you have of the world is just your own and sometimes you can't compare it to something else because you don't know how to or that you're supposed to.

This is usually the case with families with a history of violence, drug or alcohol abuse, families that end up divorcing and families in which a child has been molested (there are more specifics, but this is a basic general/overall view).

They see only violence, fear, people getting hurt, so they tend to adopt that in their mind because they only see that thing. Children work in a "monkey see - monkey do system", they imitate what they see and hear very much. That's how they learn to speak, walk, to care for animals, to love, to have compassion etc. by learning it from other humans.

When that lacks and all they see is the other side of life, their mind perceives it as normal. Later on when they meet the "normal" side of life, they are in for a shock and feel a bit uncomfortable about it, just as we are with their life (that has violence, etc. in it) and they never really forget the past. That tends to make their decision making a bit screwed up, none of it being their fault as they perceive it as right to themselves.

Childhood is what makes us to react and perceive things the way we do. When you are a teenager, you tend to grow out of that and THEN start seeing things and understanding them, asking yourself questions etc. Adolescents and adults can make decisions and change, while as a child you don't really know how to.

That is why criminologists study behavior from that area of a person's life. That time is usually the time when we are taught how to be human and what is like to be human. If something gets screwed up, there's a big chance that even though you change, you can never forget, forgive or be completely unscarred.

Overt behavior is important because it represents observable actions and responses that can provide valuable information about a person's thoughts, feelings, and intentions. It allows others to understand and respond to individuals' behaviors and can impact social interactions, relationships, and decision-making. Tracking overt behavior can also help identify patterns, trends, and potential areas for personal growth or intervention.

You get neurosis from childhood emotional trauma i believe. I'm not a doctor but i did read it somewhere. i feel i am neurotic as i suffer anxiety and insecurity. the trauma could come from feeling unloved as a child or being locked in a room or cupboard as a child. cheers joan

since dinosaurs are extinct, i believe it should be the alligator because it used to attack and eat a tiger! the most biggest cat! so that means the alligator is the worlds dangerous animal. In your face!

For a person who was asked to describe/differentiate split pictures, when the corpus callosum of his is cut, he could speak or describe what he has seen in his right eye because speech is located in the left part of the brain, but if he was asked to visually point what he was saying, he will point out what his left eye saw, even though it's different from his topic, because his visualization is located in his right brain.

Women sometimes look at other women because they look really pretty or even if a girl has a man and looks at another girl prettier than her she will stare just to try to get her away from her man.

Women look at other women because they find them attractive, its that simple. Its not just because " they look really pretty". There is a difference between, "that outfit is really cute and looks good on her" and "she has a banging body". No matter what a woman tries to tell you, she isn't only checking out the outfit. She is checking out how the pants fit her but and how the shirt shows off her features. Whether she will admit that, that's a different story.

Thorndike's law of effect stated that some behaviours could be encouraged or discouraged based on the effects the person performing those behaviours experiences. It states that, if someone does something, and experiences a reward, they will do that more often. If someone does something, and experiences a punishment, they will do that less often.

Analysis is a noun.

No. There is no known correlation between crohn's disease and alcoholism as diseases.

A person with crohn's would certainly need to stop drinking for extended periods during a flare up of the disease. Alcohol exacerbates the symptoms and due to the irritation already present in the bowel would greatly increase the pain and cramping.

Code of Conduct is the standard of expected ethical behaivor for the company's employees. It is about holding yourself to the highest standards of ethical business behavior. Typically Codes talk about expectations to obey the law, conflicts of interest, insider trading, preserving confidential information, bribery, corporate opportunities, competition and fair dealing among other things. Executives of a company have the duty to create an environment conducive to ethical behaivor. This is sometimes called "tone at the top". A Code of Conduct is the cornerstone of setting the proper tone at the top for the business's culture.

People may have different perspectives, biases, emotions, or priorities that shape how they interpret and remember events. Factors such as past experiences, cultural backgrounds, and personality traits can also influence how individuals perceive and recount the same event. Additionally, selective attention and memory can lead to discrepancies in how details are recalled and shared.
