This myth reminds me of just one of the reasons why I love psychology; to better understand myself and people around me.

To stay away from abandoned areas of town and stay where it is busy. I feel like this is one myth that has been ingrained

Do you think a color can influence the way you feel about something? Many people think they do, and I am one of them. For example, the movies we watch use different colors depending on the plot. A terror movie uses a lot of blacks and reds to make people feel insecure and terrified. Even companies use colors on their logos to identify their product. I read that much of a color's effect may be due to meanings assigned to that color within a given culture, which can vary widely from one culture to
As you probably already know, the psychology of relationships represent a rather unique study of human behavior. In particular, it enables other people to focus in upon exactly why individuals choose to react in certain ways to specific conditions, other persons, or particular events and stimuli. Of noteworthy interest is the study of why lovers who care so much for each other, especially in the beginning, will eventually or even very suddenly start acting much differently, less romantically, and

Introduction to Film and Paper For my film review I chose to review the movie The Notebook.
