Psychology of colours

Do you often give thought about the importance of the colours in our life? I suggest that it is quite importat for everyone of us. But do you frequently use the colours deliberately? I am asking this questions becouse there is the psychology of colous, each colour imagines different feelings and emotions.

For example green is the most relaxing and less tiring colour, so it is very suitable for painting the walls of the bedrooms and other areas, where you would like to come loose.
The simbol of peace is white dove, because white is pure strong colour, doctors usually wear white smocks instil trust. Black is opposite of white. It is the colour of power, authority. Frequently gangsters, vampires wear black. Brown is the opposite of black too. It is the colour of warm, friendly, sometimes weak people. But if a person wears grey it means that he or she do not want to be noticed at all. So it is better to stay away from him or her that day. Yellow colour fits best when you are going to meet new people, because it is a colour of openness and freedom. Red colour is very excitening and stimulating colour. 80% flags contain red colour. It is successful colour and is usually used by footbal teams. Blue is reverse red. It is very calm and peaceful colour. this colour is on the flag of the United Nations.

So my recommendation is to keep in mind that colours have a particular meaning.

The most interestning branch of psychology

There are about twenty branches of psychology. Some of them are concentrated on examining the biological stucture of the mind, others are focusing on the observable behavior. All the branches are very wide and revealing. But in my opinion the most interestning subfield of psychology is Cross-cultural psychology. This way of psychology focuses on the similarities and differences in psychological functioning in and across various ethnic groups and cultures.

But as same as in the other subfields the are some advantages and disadvantages. The most important difficulty is in the culture. Different people in the different parts of the world think in the different way. Therefore we can not compare them as the alikely ones. For example in some cultures is normal to teach children to pull out all the stops and reach their destination while in other is normal to say that some of us are more dowered than others. In some parts of the world frequently women ground-floor with men, when in other part of our planet women do not have almost any rights. Those womenfolk have to accept this fact live threir lives in the ordinary way. They event do not dream about education, career and other things like this.

So the most important think for Cross-cultural psychologists is to take in mind the differences between cultures and then would bee easier to understand the psychology of those people.

Why I decided to study psychology

By ending the school I was thinking about my future and what I would like to study. It was very difficult to me because I never was seriously thinking about my future plans. I just knew that I want to live an interesting and exciting life.

By the time I passed my exams I had to fill the application and it was the hardest part of all. I was contemplating different variants. From the economics up to the history study. Then I saw the studying program 'psychology' in this university, calculated my score and understood that I have a chance to be accepted and I decided to try. This speciality attracted me because I knew that after graduating I could choose the way I want to be in. Then I'll be more grown-up and it would be more easier to make a decission than now. I'm expecting to get a lot of new knowledge of this four years course. Maybe I would even change me life and become more self-confident than I am now. Of course i would like to became more experienced and aware.

Finally I want to help. Help to others and me to live the better way. I suggest that it is not a very unreal dream. I hope it'll become true after some time.
