| Microsoft Conducts research on Facebook about Social Psychology using Collabio | | 2008-08-24 06:08:36 | | Microsoft Researchers have developed Collabio, a Facebook application designed to explore metadata and the logic related to tagging. On the surface its like any other Facebook application game it encourages users to guess tags that other friends have used to describe an individual. Points are awarded according to the number of other friends who have agreed with each tags. Collabio also relies on social motivations such as reciprocity; users are notified when friends tag them and are encouraged to tag in reponse. This simple looking game uses the data. But the data generated by this application is going to be mined by Microsoft researchers to help them figure out how to productively utilize social networks since currently all major companies are struggling in trying to figure out how to monetize social networks better so it is expected this data might be used to do greater ad targeting in Facebook.

| The Psychology of Sports Fans, Vol. I | | 2008-08-15 22:42:07 | | (This is something I've been mulling on for a while, and I was curious to hear what MHR has to say).
I, like everyone here, count myself under the "rabid, tending to dysfunctional due to extreme emotional attachment' brand of sports fans. I watch spring training and preseason games, whether on TV or on Gamecast. (My plans for Saturday night tomorrow consist of: Get pizza. Watch Broncos game. Heckle the Cowboys even though they can't hear me through the TV screen. Make unimaginative cracks about Jessica Simpson. Yell at Jay to throw the ball to the open guy in blue (or orange, as the case may be). You get the idea). I read every stats sheet in existence. I check an average of five or six different sites a day, five or six times, for news on my teams. My evening is planned around how I can check on the games in progress -- or avoid them, if they are currently too painful to be endured. (This April, I went to a big dance party at college.

I made her ask nicely and then took her.She was pretty rude to me on the way up there so when we got a few blocks from the place I said, "Now, I've got a few more parenting things I need to say and then afterwards I'm going to say that I love you and tell you I hope you have a good night and then I"m going to be interested in seeing just how mean you can be as you walk away."We got there and I said, "I love you. have fun."

| | The Psychology Of Diet Preparation | | 2008-06-05 21:20:43 | | We decide to lose weight because of any number of reasons: we don’t like the way we look, our clothes don’t fit, our health is in danger, our significant other is wandering, our job is at risk, or our kids are embarrassed. We tend to think of weight loss as something that involves only our body; surely no one ever decided to lose weight because of a fat brain or a bloated mind.Yet “we decide” is a mental function. When and why we make such a decision depends on our mind, not our body. We may make the decision when we are five pounds heavier than we would like, or after passing the two hundred pound mark and entering true medical obesity. The actual size of the body does not trigger the decision to lose weight, such a choice in made in the brain.Since the start (and the continuation) of a diet program is a mental process, it would seem to be worthwhile to explore what factors might trigger such a decision.1.

| | A Few Ways To Make Psychology Term Paper Successful | | 2008-05-09 23:03:00 | | Psychology term paper writing is just like writing assignment in any other subject. However while writing this kind of assignment the student should be well versed with different terms related to the subject.There are different ways in which this kind of assignment can be written. It can be written in the form of a report, research proposal, critical analysis essay or review. So it is advisable to get it clear from the instructor, about the expected form of writing. a) If the text is written in a report format, then you should present the information or arguments of the book or article on which you are writing a report in a clear and concise way and then summarize the whole thing at the end. A report gives no scope for interpretation hence it should be avoided. b) In the case of a research proposal, highlight the problem and indicate the independent variable of the study that is being proposed.

| | | | | The science behind cross-linguistic psychology | | 2008-03-25 20:04:23 | | While communication may be recognized as a universal phenomenon, differences between languages -- ranging from word-order to semantics -- undoubtedly remain as they help to define culture and develop language. Yet, little is understood about similarities and differences in languages around the world and how they affect communication. Recently, however, two studies have emerged that aid in our understanding of cross-linguistic distinctions in language usage.

There will be a greater demand, thus a higher price, for currencies perceived as stronger over their relatively weaker counterparts.Long-term trends: Currency markets often move in visible long-term trends. Although currencies do not have an annual growing season like physical commodities, business cycles do make themselves felt. Cycle analysis looks at longer-term price trends that may rise from economic or political trends."Buy the rumor, sell the fact:" This market truism can apply to many currency situations. It is the tendency for the price of a currency to reflect the impact of a particular action before it occurs and, when the anticipated event comes to pass, react in exactly the opposite direction.

Everything in nature but the human 'self' perfects its own nature, to the extent that life allows, by unconsciously submitting to the Will of God... the area with which we are concerned is the completion of nature in its mode of operation...God breathed His Spirit into human forms so that they gained the powers of consciousness of 'self', which includes consciously following one's conscience and free will.

| | Psychology | | 2007-11-19 20:16:00 | | The study of UFO claims over the years has led to valuable discoveries about atmospheric phenomena and psychology. In psychology, the study of UFO sightings has revealed information on misinterpretation, perceptual illusions, hallucination and fantasy-prone personality, which may explain why some people are willing to believe hoaxers such as George Adamski. Many have questioned the reliability of hypnosis in UFO abduction cases.Famous psychologist Carl Gustav Jung compared the UFO's "saucer" shape with mandala symbolism and speculated with the idea of UFO sightings being linked to his theory of Archetypes of the Collective Unconscious, suggesting UFOs are projection carriers of the archetype of "psychic wholeness" (also known in Jungian terms as The Self). Such projections endow the carrier with numinous and mythical powers giving it a highly suggestive effect and rapidly turning it into a saviour myth. | | By: astronomy-UFO | | |

| | The Siren, Dr. Jayalth Jayawardena and fleeing psychology | | 2007-10-01 07:18:26 | | We all know the famous story of Madduma Bandara. While the true historical incident was pivoted around the cruelty of King Sri Wickrama Rajasingha, it is small Madduma Bandara that challenged this cruelty saying;“Aiyandiya, biya nowanna. Marena hati mama penwamiâ€(Don’t be afraid brother, I will show you how to die (as a hero). )It is names of this type of heroes that the history has written in gold.While these historical reports applaud the heroic character of Madduma Bandara, those equally rebuff the character of his own elder brother Loku Bandara as feeble cry boy.It is famous saying that ‘history repeats’, and therefore it is our duty to clearly identify parallel characters in modern society.Dr. Jayalath Jayawardena is one of the mysterious characters in Sri Lankan political arena. He prefers to spend more time in Wanni jungle than in his electorate and most of his visits are secret and puzzling.He occasionally come in front of media and states that he is concerned of killing of people due to war (He never call this as terrorism). His main endeavor in the last decade has been to distribute sirens among the Sinhala and Muslim people in so called border villages (in his own terminology) in North and Eastern provinces.Throughout his political career, we have never seen him distributing even a club to defend the villagers from brutal attacks of tiger terrorists, nor we have ever heard him initiating the same approach (run away) in the LTTE control side.The rational behind Dr. Jayalth’s campaign is crystal clear. It was LTTE who wanted to chase away Sinhala people who defend their home lands against the myth of Ealam and it is Jayalath Jaywardena who was co-coordinating this chase away from the south. He was very active facilitating the run away of Sinhala people when LTTE is brutally attacking the villagers.It’s good to see that current government has completely turn this vicious agenda facilitated in south by Jayalath Jayawardena by forming new military unit named Nandimithra Balakaya that are no longer in mere defensive mood, but well capable of carrying out offensive against terrorists to defend their villages.If modern Loku Bandara ever present in Bogambara ground, he would have cry and say;“Malanuwani biya nowanna, duwana hati mama penwami.â€(Don’t be afraid younger brother, I will show you way to run away)But luckily, we no longer need a trumpeter to run away, because at last we have found a true leadership to chase away the terrorists.In the future, people of Sri Lanka will decide if they further need the service of these so called leaders only capable of facilitating fleeing, because they have finally realized that we need leaders only to march forward and defend our territory and not to run away in fear of terrorists. | | By: Lanka Rising | | |
| | Media Psychology | | 2007-08-12 07:11:00 | | Author: David GilesPaperback: 352 pagesPublisher: Lawrence Erlbaum; 1 edition (February 2003)Language: EnglishISBN: 0805840486(R)Media Psychology examines the impact that 21st century media use has on human behavior, from teenage crushes on pop stars to soap fandom in adulthood. It brings together North American communication research with European media research in a variety of disciplines--psychology, sociology, communication and media studies--and in doing so, maps out the territory for media psychology. David Giles argues that psychologists have been guilty of ignoring the influence of the media over the last century, seeing it at best as a minor nuisance that will eventually go away. However, with the increasing prevalence of new electronic forms of mass communication, the media seem to have a greater influence than ever over our daily lives. In this book, Dr. Giles tackles the traditional topics of media psychology--sex, violence, advertising--along with sec | | By: GanEden For Books | | |

The Critique of Psychology is the first book to trace this alternate history, from a unique perspective that complements the many existing empirical, theoretical, and social histories of the field.Thomas Teo cogently synthesizes major historical and theoretical narratives to describe two centuries of challenges to—and the reactions of—the mainstream. Some of these critiques of content, methodology, relevance, and philosophical worldview haveactually influenced and become integrated into the canon; others pose moral questions still under debate.

More often than not, when the market is experiencing a period of extreme optimism or pessimism, it is time to play contrarian and look to move against the crowd.The current optimism has the average U.S. equity currently selling for around 19 times trailing earnings, which is higher than the average. However, high P/E ratios do not necessarily indicate a bear market is ahead. In fact, with interest rates and inflation relatively low, a higher than average earnings ratio is exactly what should be anticipated.It is essential to note though that the current bull market was started around early October 2002 when the Standards and Poor's 500 was around the 780 mark. Since then, the market has been a robust bull mark | | By: How to be Rich, Happy and Free from Scams | | |
