16.04.20 / Studying Psychotherapeutic Interview Techniques for my first online exam.
25.03.20 / Just another article night which spent with Freud and Adler. Feeling exhausted but productive!
20.03.20 / Studying Neuropsychology day
02.03.21 / The spring semester started last week, but I took my first lesson of this semester this morning. It’s called Industrial and Organizational Psychology. I have no interest in this area but despite that, I am very excited about it because it’s one of my favorite professors’ lecture. He said he will mostly talk about his life experiences in order to we could inspire by them. It has already very inspirational the first lecture.
My professor talked about the “Pygmalion Effect” today. Many of us know that effect because it has very popular in Psychology and many other areas. I want to shortly and quickly tell you about it.
Probably you heard something about the self-affirming prophecy. This effect basically tells us “the targets of the expectations internalize their positive labels, and those with positive labels succeed accordingly; a similar process works in the opposite direction in the case of low expectations.” This means what your thoughts and expectations shaped your potential. That is, our thoughts affect our actions and our actions determine the outcome.
I believe that knowing that we are enough and we have the potential to accomplish many things has an effect that can quickly grow like a snowball.
I wanted to share this with you because I think we could use this exceptional psychological knowledge in our daily life to boost our motivation to believe in ourselves. There are always much more possibility than we could see now. I hope it works for you!
17.12.20 / I spent the last two days writing an analysis of a 21-page article on speech and language disorders that I had no interest in. I will die if I cannot finish it today. Wish me luck
