Pyschology Chapter 1

1. I thought psychology was just about helping people by talking and giving suggestions on the issues people talk about, observing how people act and think, and by helping find a diagnoses for illnesses of the mind. Now I know that there are different methods used in observing not only the mind but the behavior as well, and the different experiments used to find the answers.
2. Psychology affects my life by just being curious. By wondering why does everyone have different opinions, why do they think that way, or why do they act that way can all be reasoned with psychology and figuring out answers to those types of questions.
3. First I learned what a case study was and that it's used in this branch of research. Secondly I found out that psychology is not value free. I first thought in order to study psychology you had to be very open minded and accepting to both sides of an argument to truly understand something.
