Note_2, 2 Sept 2025
-------------------
And this looks like a really good question for psychology is in time to take study
of behavior and prophecy so when we say mental processing we're talking about the
behaviors that are internal and that we cannot observe so when we see certain
actions there are things that we are able to observe physically their things that
we can hear their things that we can see just feel all of that but mental
processing are the internal that we can't see can you guys see thoughts so I have a
question Facial expression that is something that you can actually remember what we
talked about last week when I said that sometimes when we look at circum- these
things and then not to mention sometimes we are also conditioned to believe that
certain things mean things but we have to also be mindful of the fact that we are
not and we're gonna talk a little bit about this in a little bit but we are not all
cut from the same clock so our belief systems are not going to equal each other we
grew up I know in certain culture and in certain countries certain hand gestures
that we do here in America don't fly in other countries if we're sitting here
thinking like this is OK I asked you guys if this is a positive guest and you guys
nearly took my head off when I said that that's how I respond to my boyfriend or
something so this is supposed to be a positive but for some reason we don't really
see that in some context right so again I want you guys to be mindful of the fact
that mental processes are things that we do not see but be mindful of the fact that
sometimes we assume that we know what somebody's mental processes are so there are
four goals psychology i'm not gonna tell you guys after each slide is gonna be like
this is a favor but I'm not gonna do it for so there are four psychology in the
description is that careful observation of behavior and knowing what will call
symptoms but activators different things that we can see when we're looking at
another person and then the explanation why may this behavior occur prediction
whether or not the behavior is going to occur again thank you appreciate you very
much thank you so much sinus I appreciate you when you're done you can just put it
on and I'll I'll grab it after class so the prediction is whether or not behavior
is gonna occur in a particular person or group and then control is different than
the control that you think does not mean you controlling another person or having
some type of manipulation of the other person control empowering the person
themselves to make a change in their own behaviors and what can be perceived as
healthy and productive and constructive ways so if we were to use the goal of
psychology to understand what would be the description of somebody that you guys to
be very careful when I say the description because that does not mean interpreting
why do you think they are smoking interpreting or trying to guess what may have led
to their smoking I mean you are simply staring at a person well don't be weird but
you are simply looking at a person smoking observation of the behavior describe
what you see say that again cigarette cigarette observing observe one more time I
know that smoking is not the healthiest but again we're trying to be as objective
as possible when we are observant so can we change that from can we change that
from a place of judgment to more objective observation if you had to be in another
country consider something positive don't say that again what do you see when you
see somebody seeing someone how about just seeing someone I see the cigarette in
their two fingers they're bringing it to their mouth they are inhaling and then
they are very very I guess oK so if you see them shaking yes oK oK oK I will save
the side is what we're seeing the interpretation of the side we don't know that yet
but the side absolutely absolutely right so now what would be some explanation as
to why smoking may occur stress stress stress anxiety they were younger it was seen
as something better you know the time they can't really get it because it does
become OK and other it's like some Native American tobacco medicinal oK I love that
you said that because cultural speaking that might be exactly why how will we know
the explanation of why behind a behavior so especially in a behavioral health field
I know that sometimes we have that habit of assuming certain things we never as to
why somebody maybe or deciding to do that behavior prediction whether or not
behaviors occur in a particular person group so if we know for a fact that somebody
smokes because they are stressed if they're in a stressful situation what is the

, likelihood that they are going to go is it higher oK so if we know certain
information about the explanation as behavior happens they were able to kind of
predict certain circumstances and this is where we can't start looking at patterns
and we can't start looking at different patterns in terms of what may increase to
likely behavior is going to occur at patterns of what's going to decrease and then
again that we are not controlling a person's behavior telling them to stop we're
helping them to understand what things they need in order to reduce that behavior
if it is a behavior that they don't want or we are helping them to increase certain
things in their world so that they can continue to do behavior that is more desired
but that makes sense any questions about the psychology psychology is comprehensive
science science and it includes topics that can be empirically testing or that has
a very strong theory so that's what psychology a lot of fact or if there is some
theory theoretical information related to that it is because there are certain
behaviors or tests or observations that we can make relevant to support what we
believe certain concept does that makes sense now I also will let you guys know
that you don't have to write down each and every single thing I'm asking you to
take note because when you see it when you hear and when you write it and when you
read it again it's likely to your brain but I'm also not expecting you guys to
write every single thing that I have on PowerPoint another thing if you attend
class on Tuesday and Thursday I will send you if you don't attend class one or both
of those days you don't get that's fair so here's psychology is not scientific you
guys have parents or guardians of if you can't explain it in a scientific way that
shows some type of level level proof more than likely it is not psychology it is a
psychology psychology certain things to try to enhance certain behavior enhance
certain pleasurable feelings enjoyment if you feel like it and usually it's to make
money but it's to let the way they market it is this is something that you're gonna
enjoy this is something that's gonna help you absolutely I don't know if you guys
think dating sites are psychology relationship what about horoscopes I wrote
everything yes is the different trend that they have when everybody was drinking
the pods when you pop some Thai pod to see what happens let's eat the hottest chip
in America so that we could say that the hottest in America that was a boy what's
the latest God knows oh God one of the people act like these different ideas
psychology a lot influence psychology that's one of the career move that a lot of
people are moving to right now para psychology these are phenomenon that happen
outside scientific we are observing that we can explain it for example telepathy
eclair psychic healing free cognition déjà vu telekinesis things that we really
can't explain but it happens I have a client still cool with her she never met me
in my life I don't think so but she told me there I don't know stuff about my
father that I didn't know stuff about my mom she predicted that something was gonna
happen and then probably about a month later I can't explain stuff like that we
can't explain stuff like that but we can't say that it doesn't happen because
people are talking about their experiences with you in ghost anybody having a ghost
a lot of people sitting in our living room that wasn't there to talk to people or
interact with people that are no longer here not exactly are you willing to share
Having a C-section my aunt arrived from my dad she felt like presence both sides
next to her and behind her and she was like they're there and she was like yeah two
old friends that commit suicide and dead don't worry can see them my mom can feel
them basically phenomenon it doesn't exist because people are experiencing it and
there's an observation you know but we don't have the scientific understanding to
explain millie the research of claims be scientific real evidence so this is gonna
be astrology homeopathy myopathy go back they study too want you to tell me about
myself based on my signature no passion sort of animated and you know that because
you observed because I can guarantee if you never met me in your life I don't think
he would but I know it's gonna be hard I want you guys to erase my image in my
memory as much as you can tell me about myself signature do you know my actual
signature that's my actual handwriting are you even in the big letters passion look
at the small letters that you're empathetic but at the same time you're like me you
know your thoughts are flowing quicker than your hand i'm only because I think that
you guys kind of got to know me a little bit from the last two classes so the way
