Physiology is the study of humans and psychology is the study of the mind.

Hidden motivation is that kind of trigger that does not depend on any material reward - money, success a.s.o. It's something very interiorized that can really work for you. Example: when you wanna win a competition not because of the 1000 dollars prize, but because you want your mother to be proud of you for a change :)

Good application to everyday life - provides information on the effects on children's development that can help us to ensure children are getting the best from their everyday life (eg. the way nurserys, schools are run) Gives a general understanding of the way in which humans develop and attempts to provide information for questions that have been debated for years eg. nature/nurture debate The Developmental Approach takes a 'lifespan' approach to pyschology, and in many cases produces a lot of both quantative and quantitative data because of the detail needed to make conclusions on the subject. This leads to in depth results and valid conclusions. Answer found on Yahoo: The developmental approach has many applications to everyday life and it provides information on the effects of day care on children's development. This can help with childhood problems and issues. The understanding we gain from this helps us to provide children with what should assist their healthy and happy psychological development and to avoid things which may have a negative impact on it.

A good thesis topic in psychology would be to explore the causes of depression, and various treatments that are available. Another topic could explore how popular culture influences gender roles.

In the mid 1970s, Peter Lewinsohn argued that depression is caused by a combination of stressors in a person's environment and a lack of personal skills. More specifically, the environmental stressors cause a person to receive a low rate of positive reinforcement. Positive reinforcement occurs when people do something they find pleasurable and rewarding. According to learning theory, receiving positive reinforcement increases the chances that people will repeat the sorts of actions they have taken that led them to receive that reinforcement. In other words, people will tend to repeat those behaviors that get reinforced

There are almost unlimited branches of psychology, as new branches are being created each day, given that it is such a young science. Currently, the most well known branches of psychology are behavioral, cognitive, forensic, industrial organizational, personality, and developmental.

Functionalism is an early approach to psychology that tried to discover how the conscious mind works to help humans survive in their environment.

GCSEs or Standard grades including english, maths and preferably double science. However, whatever your future plans, it's best to keep your options open and choose 2 sciences, as choosing only one can limit your opportunities.

Science based 'A' levels or Highers such as biology and chemistry with physics or maths. Alternatively other qualifications such as HNDs, GSVQs, advanced GNVQs may be accepted as an alternative depending on the institution.

A university degree such as genetics or a more general course which includes genetics such as biology, applied biology or biochemistry. Many of the genetics degree courses are combined with another subject such as 'genetics and microbiology', or 'genetics and forensic science', or offer degrees that include an industrial placement. Information about the each degree and entrance requirements can be obtained by consulting individual university's prospectuses or their websites. There are currently 115 genetics course offered around the U.K. For more information and to find out entrance requirements visit Universities and Colleges Admissions Service for the UK (UCAS) (http://www.ucas.co.uk/).

The majority of researcher positions also require a post graduate qualification (e.g. MSc or PhD). Some non-graduate positions are however possible through Modern Apprenticeships which are offered to those aged over sixteen and combine paid employment with training for technician posts.

For more information on careers and qualifications, your choices and options talk to your careers teacher at school and your careers advisor from the local career development centre.

There isn't a single thing wrong with shy human beings. But shy human beings are the equivalent of the lame, weak or old deer in a herd - those are the deer that are the first target of the predators, because they're easy.

There are several:
1. Humanistic Psychology which rejects the idea that clinical psychology and other applied areas should focus only on disorders and problems.

2. Cognitive Development emphasizes the idea that children are not incompetent adults but think creatively and effectively based on their limited experience in the world.

3. Behavioralism which says that psychologists should limit their attention to the study of behavior itself.

4. Psychodynamic Psychology that focuses on the role of our unconscious thoughts, feelings,
and memories and our early childhood experiences in determining behavior.

5. Functionalism was inspired by Darwin's work in biology and attempted to explain behavior,
emotion, and thought as active adaptations to environmental pressures.

6. Structuralism which uses the method of introspection.

The study of the brain and learning has contributed to the changes in cognitive psychology. The whole foundation of cognitive psychology is how the brain processes information and how it affects behavior. Our knowledge about the brain in recent years has grown and with more research it will continue to affect theories like cognitive psychology.

In some cases, the patient may have certain fundamental core beliefs, called schemas, which are flawed and require modification.

Biological psychology is generally nomothetic. The nomothetic approach aims to even out individual differences so that the observations lack bias. This justifies generalising the findings of such research. Because biological psychology research is primarily experimental, a nomothetical stance is assumed simply because researchers (using a psychobiological approach) are looking for typical behaviour, not unique behaviour - thus looking for data with which to apply a generalisation to all people, or most people.

The modern approach to transgender people is to treat the problem as a biological disorder and not a mental one.

Yes, if you have a bachelor's degree in something else. However, depending upon the field of psychology you are interested in, graduate programs can be highly competitive. Best of luck.
