Psychology: The Wonders of the Mind

By: Stefan Mitrovic-

The human mind is an interesting factor in human activity and understanding. Psychology is the study of human behavior and mental processes, and can be very complex and misleading. How people feel, think, and act is all part of understanding why people do what they do. Some of the main reasons for the complexity of the human mind correlate to the high amounts of neurons constantly interacting, being influenced by its environment and culture, as well as being unpredictable.

Here’s some interesting facts that can help you think deeper of human interaction. First off, you form first impressions in under a second. It only takes 100 milliseconds to get an impression or judgement of an individual, and it’s very hard to reverse this once it occurs. Another important thing is that we as humans, we enjoy people who are similar to us, and we don’t even realize this. People who have shared ideas, beliefs, speech all increase likeliness. Finally, many people don’t know that loneliness affects our brains just like that of actual physical brain. The brain reacts to loneliness and social rejection the same way it does for actual physical injuries.

In conclusion, psychological is a very complicated matter, and has many interesting facts that allow for its complexity.
