In a nutshell, psychology
entails the thought and emotional processes of all animals. Many
psychologists work in fields that deal with people specifically, which
unlike their colleagues in animal psychology, have the ability to
receive direct-feedback and/or input about a person's decision-making
skills.
In everyday
life, people must make decisions about what to do, how to perform, and in
some cases, negotiate and/or compromise their skills for societal
reasons. Some examples of societal reasons include: coherently
transferring thought to an audience in a universally understandable fashion,
and for some others, inhibit or disinhibit their skills based on the customs
or accepted ethics of the group to whom he or she is speaking. One's
perception of his or her social group(s) may also shape how he or she may
respond. I (Carl
S. Rogers) spend a lot of time separating two general forms of
decision-making thought: objectivity and subjectivity. The former usually deals
with goal-related activities of productive nature--and in my opinion
withholding certain emotions until the task is finished (thus creating happiness),
and on the flip-side there is subjectivity, which deals with how someone
organises persons, places or things--in my opinion, emotions strongly
contribute to the fashion in which one organises persons, places or
things. Listed below are some famous psychologists whose ideas help
shape my theories of objectivity and subjectivity, and perhaps may help
shape your individual theory as the journey of life unravels.
There are other psychologists who offer different and amazing theories--the Internet is
chock full of biographies for several notable psychologists. A great
place to start is Google Search.
Relativity, relativity,
relativity!!!
