I have to do a behavioral observation for my psych class, which will involve choosing a particular behavior that I want to observe, operationalizing the behavior that I will be looking for and reporting my results (whether or not I actually saw the behavior I was seeking). The child must be between 4 and 10, and doesn't have to know that I'm watching (could be in a mall, park, etc.) Does anyone have any good ideas on behavior I should look for?

can anyone define what sex is? Is it a physical process, which needs an external stimulation? If so, then, can it be generated, created, mainpulated and controlled?
The second part of the question is, if someone knows what is sex, if he can control it, will he feel the excitement again?

remember when you were a kid and you could daydream for hours about anything? well, i was wondering, how many adults still daydream, and if you do, how often? by adults, i mean 18 plus...if your under 18 and know someone who is older than 18 who daydreams alot or a little, or whatever, you can answer too. i ask because i am 20, and i daydream more than what might be considerd average. i keep up with all the real world stuff just fine, so dont be concerned about that, i have a good job, and great friends and a fiance and all, its just sometimes my brain feels like its on vacation and wants me to be sitting on a beach somewhere...or even "childish" stuff, like im a princess or something. it just feels nice, and i do it quite frequently (remember, i am completly on top of my job/friends/finances/and all that other real world stuff) so, how often do you, an adult, daydream? a couple times a week? a couple times a day? and about what?

When we moved to a bran new house my parents still live in (im 21 now) I began to feel i was being watched and i'd turn my head quickly (this usualyl happened during the day wheni was alone) and i'd glance at a hall way or doorway and i'd see the glimpse of a figure, tall, in all black, pale skin, no eyes, empty sockets, and long black hair . but i'd only see (it) for a flash and it's dissaeppear. and sometimes alone i'd hear voices in my head (i'd been hearing them since i was little) and it didn't happen often , but they were echoes of a voice that sounded like mine, but deeper , and older and it would put me down sometimes and sometimes driveme to the point of madness that i coudnt' concentrate on anything else, but it has since stopped. last timei heard it i was 18

why don't i hear it anymore? why don't i see that figure anymore? it still frightens me to think of it and i still silenty scream in my mind to think ofit, but why?

When I got to the top I saw this room that was all grey and old with a table in the middle.The Table had 4 creatures sitting at it with forks and knives in their hand both up on the table.
They where also bluishgrey the size of a human but didn't look human.It looked as though their faces where a big huge nose and their mouths where part of the portrution.Nostrols where small above the mouth but more back to the corner of the lips.I could see lots of small sharp teeth cause there mouths where open slightly.Eyes where small and dark they had no cheeks snd a little hair that was black and bluegray as their skin but

I had a dream about being held hostage in my apt. studio here at the univ. with the blinds closed in the daytime but with people otuside my window getting a tan. In the room holding me hostage were two black men with a gun each, a blond woman about my age with no weapon, two elderly stout women in wheelchairs, one white, one black, and a white infant in a cradle, which seemed to belong to the woman my age.

I don't understand the dream, but in the dream i kept trying to figure out who to leave the situation, one of the black men began to confide and cry with me about his life problems and i tricked him into giving me the gun i finally decided to jump thru my window to break the glass (im on the first floor) and i escaped.

the rest of the dream was diff and strange and borught me back to a place i have dreamt of before. it is a mall but it is a tower...why do i always go back to it?


i dont understand this dream or the significance of it.

Depression meds not necessary people need support system nowadays you have pills for anything and everything we turn from God and turn to pills who are these Satanic doctors called Psychiatrists..if the pills were so good for weight loss, depression and everything why do we have more people percenatge wise who are depressed than ever in America? Dont take the pill...take THE WORD, His Word the word of Jesus Christ for things like depression or anxiety...it can be wrked out with counseling alone which is much more effective and cheaper..take the analogy you got a problem, ie you have to install a new window you have to work to put the new window in just as we have to work with and through our problems...taking a thousand dollar pill is a rip off and it makes people rich who are often not on God's side but the enemies. See history of WWII and how Nazi doctors came to our country, and where the pills and experiemtns came from.

Well I havent had it in a while but when i had it, it went on for like a year or two. When i fell asleep at night, every night I kept dreaming that my teeth would fall off or come out of place and I could feel them in my mouth in my dream. When I would wake up, I would wake up to checking if my teeth were still there and it scared me a little. Whats even weirder is that I talked to my two brothers about it and they say that they have had the exact same dream for about the same time ive had it. Btw, me and my little brother sleep in the same bedroom and my older brother has his own room across the hall, if thats of any help.What could this dream mean? Why have us three had the same exact dream? It freaks us out big time.

The spring semester started about a month ago, it started out really tough for me. I was getting kicked out of my parents house (we are ok now, but I still had to move out, a mutual agreement), my labtop crashed, had to find/buy a car, get my loan signed, etc.etc. So anyway, heres my story. I was under a lot of stress in the beginning of the semester and as much as I tried to put on a mask (happy face) in front of my college peers, I couldn't help but show it. I finally begin to realize that a lot of people were feeding off of my sadness like a parasite. Has this happened to you before? They saw it as a opportune time to bully me pyschologically (as girls do all the time; catty). The girls were throwing mean remarks to me indirectly and I noticed a lot of nonverbal communications (body language) from them showing a sign of disrespect (i.e. blocking me from a circle by standing right in front of me while I'm speaking).

I've been having that dream for months now, off and on and its really starting to freak me out. This morning I woke up checking my teeth to see if they were in my mouth lol, In my dream it would start out by two front teeth getting loose and I would shake it a little and then it would just come out, then one by one, my teeth start falling out. what does this dream mean? One day a few weeks ago, I woke up having this same dream and my gum was bleeding and one time I woke up and tooth was had a little pain to it.. I dont understand this, because when it comes to my teeth, I'm very serious about taken care of my teeth, I brush 2-3 times a day( once in the morning, before I go to bed at night and sometimes in between a big meal. Whats going on? what does this dream mean?

I have come across this term so many times in books and in people's speeches. I have some idea of what it means but I want to really get in depth of this phrase. Some one of the spiritual nature or from the field of motivational coaching care to expain what it really means to believe in yourself and in your abilities and how to harness the power of belief when setting goals in life
