为什么要选择心理学?
心理学是一个非常有趣的一门学问。你不仅可以了解为什么一个人为什么会有特定的行为或想法,你也可以探索导致这些行为或想法的背后原因。因为它所涉猎的领域非常广泛,我们可以通过不同的角度或领域去研究。例:如果一个人呈现出一种抑郁的状态,有可能时他所在的环境带来了巨大的压力,或者是他继承了可能导致抑郁症的基因。我们都可以从不同角度去分析导致抑郁的背后原因。

若你是一个非常关注心理(精神)健康或者对于有着发育障碍的人的福利与相关问题,你也可以通过学习心理学了解相关精神疾病(例: 抑郁症,躁郁症)或者发育障碍(例:自闭症,唐氏综合症)的资讯。你会从中了解到相关疾病的症状,病因。也因为有些疾病时无法被治好的,你也会学到可以帮助患有相关疾病的人适应生活的方法。

Classical Conditioning

What is Classical Conditioning?  Classical conditioning is a form of associative learning between an automatic stimulus and a specific stimulus. * Classical conditioning would be referred to as CC in the remaining text. * How does Classical Conditioning work? Before we start, there are a few terms to know about: Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS) - Any stimulus that will always and naturally elicit a response.

Neutral Stimulus (NS) - Any stimulus that does not naturally elicit a response associated with the UCR.

We may think that it means nothing, or even think that they are just seeking attention and will never commit suicide, hence ignoring it. Some would even provoke the person who is talking about ending their own lives. However, we should always take it seriously because that could be an alarm about suicide, and they are crying for help. 2. People who attempt suicide have mental illnesses It is a common myth that we believe people who attempt or commit suicide was previously diagnosed with mental illnesses such as depression.
