Psychology - October 2006

I have to do a psychology experiment but i dunno what to do it on. i can do it on anything i want. some examples(that i CAN'T use) are:

~Do people prefer Pepsi or Coke?
~Whats more effective on children-a punishment or a reward?
~Does listening to music while doing HW affect the amount remembered?
~Is studying a little each night more effective than studying all in one night?
~Do absences in class affect test grades?
~Does eating breakfast affect classroom learning?


Please be specific.
Thanks in advance

Not neccessarily sexually but I found it interesting my six year old cousin decided to look in a magazine with me. When I was 6 I was able to say who I felt was cute and who I felt wasn't. Well I went through the pages, ALL of the women were cute, none of the guys were. I thought I'd get some more and see about this and it was the same. It doesn't bother me, it just amazed me. Does this say anything about maybe her preference in the future? Or is it more to where this comes from?

I know many tv/ts/tgs and i do know some of the reasons why some men do it, but the more i learn, the more i realise that there are many answers. I was just wondering if people could tell me why they think so many men enjoy dressing up as women (knowing that 80% of transvestites are actually straight).

It seems like in order to make friends, you have to already have friends in the first place. I have no friends. Every time I make a friend, I stay friends with them until they realize I don't have any other friends, then they think I'm a loser and they don't want to be friends anymore. How can I have a big network of friends or even a few friends if having friends already is a prerequisite? I'll make a friend, then I go out of my way to conceal the fact that I don't have other friends by pretending I have some other place to go. But then they wanna meet my friends and it all goes to hell and I'm back to where I started. I try not to act desperate or clingy but it still doesn't work. What should I or can I do?

it's wierd I notice lately whenever I start to get emotional about something but don't want to deal with it my head starts to hurt. It feels like theres a lot of tension in it. IT's not that i don't care about dealing with it, but I'm tired of crying and stuff I just want to have fun! Has anyone else experienced that?

i really dont like myself very much. my shrink says maybe we can have a meeting with my parents becuz they are very mean to me. like they are just afwul parents who give bad advice and are verbally abusive towards me, occasionaly phsycally abusive an are never ever satisfied with me no matter what and are just plain impossible. she says lets having a meeting with them maybe u would like urself if u felt more luved so i finally agree after like 3 months im scared of it and i know it cant do anything good. she really cant get thru to these oh-so-impossible people. i say im so depressed im never good enuf and im always doing this that are no good to them and they are always screaming at me for everything as punishment for things like "having no tan" i said im still depressed she said well maybe we can change ur thoughts and u wont be depressed. in my opinion if all u ever hear is how bad u suck u can be happy so how does that make sense?

I had a relationship that lasted less than 2 weeks - unfortunately a child resulted from this relationship. The blood test did not dismiss me as the father - I have paid child support, provided health insurance and reimbursed the mother for my share of what the insurance doesn't cover - always paid, never late. I have no relationship with the child and do not contact the mother other than paying the bills because the mother has physically attacked me and is a complete psycho. She has done everything to make my life hell. She has not given up on the idea that somehow we're a family. She pretends to be my ex-wife and is now using my name to open medical bills but doesn't pay them even when I've reimbursed her for them, which has affected my credit - she has the bills sent to her house and doesn't forward them to me. I'm going for identity theft but don't know what else to do. How do I get her to leave me alone and get on with her life? This has been going on for 15+ years. Thx!

My sister killed herself because they put so much conditional love on her, and she was so desperate to escape, that she had no where else to go, because to cave into them would be to lose herself, and to be herself would be to lose their love forever.

So why are they walking around all happy, going on trips, and living their lives like nothing happened. Shouldn't they have changed their entire lives, started doing the exact opposite of what they'd done before? Instead it's the same BS towards me. They've learned nothing. Where's the shock, where's the life changing moment? Dad thinks he'll see her in heaven and is scared of coming to the house where she died. Mom is silent. Do they even notice she's gone?

Here's two recurring dream I used to have:
1) I walked on my knees

2) I flew at rooftop height, but after a few seconds lost steam, flying at treetop height only -having more and more difficulty to sustain flight

Any insights on what these dreams could mean?

that is becuase she didn't have a good relationship with her father and is trying to replace that. I think my sister is full of mud. I know my husband is 10 yr older than me, but I love him with all my heart. To believe her sounds like if I had a better relationship with my father, I wouldn't love my husband as much as I do if at all.
So I am asking all of you for help.
Please just don't give a yes or no answer but add details and if you can give me a web site to look this up or something. Ever since my sister said that to me, I can't help wonder.
Does someone have some info on this?

Ah, I am on the biggest streak of unmotivation right now and I don't know why. Just can't get motivated to do homework or cleaning or anything else that needs to be done. This is not good!

How do you fix that?

That programme, "House of Tiny Tearaways", appears to give the impression that a child's behaviour can be radically altered - and permanently - in under a week. Is this actually possible, or is the programme just shallow entertainment?

(I am not a parent and so have no experience of my own)

Making eye contact is very difficult . I think most of the times I just give a frown or something like that , drowns me and the other persons eneergy completely .
I dont understand the root cause of this . I try to avoid this as much as possible . A typical situation is when a relative visits ... I find it hard to speak to then and when I look at their eyes I have this disgusting feeling of taking off ! And after that I just try to answer to the question they ask me and thats all - the conversation that I have .
With some friends I find it easier , not bcoz I have this eye contact problem , but kinda know that they know this problem of mine.
I read that "eye contact" cud mean an attempt of establishing emotional connection , and u might feel awkward . Another is "superiority" complex .
Can anyone who this prblem or know about it help me ?
please I find life very dull with all these prblems , feels like my life will go into resolving such trivial issues ... any help appreciated thnx
