Psychology
The topic of depression is of special interest to me for a number of reasons. Depression is very common in today's society and is a very fascinating psychological condition. Also many some of my friends and family members show signs of depression. After reading the textbook and doing some online research, I have come to conclude that my brother has a form of depression called Dysthmia. I have concluded this due to the appearance of some of the symptoms that I have observed in my brother. My brother has a mild form of depression and has feelings of hopelessness and fatigue. The cause of his condition is still unknown to me. But I have formed hypotheses that could explain the cause of the condition. It is known that most of depression has deep genetic roots. The notion of being genetically disposed to being depressed is known. (1). Doing a little bit of research I found out that none of my parents or grandparents were depressed neither am I or any of my other siblings. So the genetic factor being at play in the cause has to be ruled out. The other factor that I suspect as being a factor in the prevalence of the condition is the fact that my brother has experienced a lot of learned
Chapter 7: CognitionPiaget's Constructivist ApproachThe constructivist approach to cognition is rather interesting to me because I feel that it is imperative to understand how intellectual development occurs, especially early in life. I believe that Josh's personality can be resolved by various intervention strategies. If a person can fulfill his needs whenever he wants to even at the expense of others he will keep repeating the action until he learns otherwise. The way to increase this form of intelligence in my point of view is to read books and engage in discussions with a variety of different people to get a better understanding. Next I could improvise a more medical approach by giving anti-depressant medications to help stabilize the mood. 12/07/03Textbooks:1-Sigelman, Carol and Rider, Elizabeth. This shows that when a person is acting on the basis of the pleasure principle he does things that make him feel good and does not act based on the reality principle. From Piaget's point of view in cognitive development my sister is in the pre-operational stage. The idea of the id, ego and superego are the three personality structures that are responsible for personality development according to the psychodynamic point of view on behavior. Also my brother denies he has any problems and thinks that he perfectly normal, which for the most part he is. Also we can develop cognitively when disequilibrium in the environment makes us develop new schemas. Intelligence can be measured by an IQ test such as the WISC test, which measures intelligence on verbal and performance levels (1). I think for one to be considered intelligent he should have a high IQ score as well as a high EQ score.
