I'm doing a research paper for Psych 101. Anyone have a link to a website that explains the history of the study of what motivates people to learn? I had a hard time looking it up but I need a good link.

is there any explanation as of why do they behave like this?

what is the difference between a psychopath and a sociopath? Is there a real clear distinction between the two? Is one just a more advance case of the other or something? Sometimes in media and fiction it almost seems as though the two terms are used interchangeably.

thx for your help

The after life do u believe in heaven and hell, or reincarnation. I honestly don't know if i do. if i knew it existed i wouldn't of been able to post this question. How do u know that it just doesn't turn black when u die, nothing , no love, cold, warmth, nothing, nothing but nothingness. How do we know that this life isn't the only thing. i personally cannot accept this as the only thing in life. It's to hard to think that we are born to live this one life then when u die it's all over. How do we know were gonna be happy in the after life. How do we know it's all perfect and were gonna be happy. Heaven, my heaven would be on a beach with the person i love and be totally enwarped up in each other that nothing around us bothers us. Haveing someone to care about that would care about me back. It's to hard to accept this though, if god does exist then why would he put people threw this kind of personal hell i'm going threw, is this all worth it, could tylenol be a friend? HELP!!!?????????

I am a 20 year old British Muslim lady. I do not use bad language on here. My preference is never to discuss or answer any question that refers to sex in any way. I am not flirtacious. What do you think I should do about this impersonator who is saying sexually crude and repulsive things in my name. I will change my name and avatar but once they have you in their sites..... This is an example from last night..http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApRBcPJPdf3gqrtGIk8WL8EuLxV.;_ylv=3?qid=20071113102952AAtgonh

When i find them out. Like 'he/she wrote this for his/her partner' it ruins my own little story in my head of why i like the song. So instead of thinking why i like the song i think of why it was written. Have you ever done this?

I'm a 30 something wife and mom, but I always fantasize about the perfect guy sweeping some beuatiful girl off her feet. I'm bothered because I identify with the man in my fantasies in that I think about what he would say or do...how he would touch the woman, kiss her, etc, and how her reaction would make him feel.... I'm not a lesbian, but this form of escapism has been with me for as long as I can remember (childhood).

I want to stop the fantasies, but I don't know how....and I don't know why I don't have normal fantasies ....like say...about my own husband. Or at least fantasize about being seduced and romanced by the good looking guy, and not BEING him.

I know this is strange and I don't know how to say this to anyone to get help. I'd appreciate any psychological explanations to help me make sense of this.

(please don't be rude, I'm already embarrassed)

Many deny that life has meaning or purpose. But rephrase the question to "do you have anything to live for?" and suddenly there are answers. An answer of "nothing to live for" would immediately warn us of the possibility of suicide. This is serious business.

It seems to me that if there is no purpose of our existence here on earth, then we must invent "purposes" in order to avoid suicide. We have to have a psychological crutch for our own mental health.

But it seems that not just any invented purpose will do. For example, very few people collect old chewing gum wrappers as their purpose in life. No, it has to be a noble purpose, e.g. "make a difference", "feed the hungry", "learn all you can", etc.

It looks to me like we're inventing purposes to keep our sanity but then convincing ourselves that the purpose is for a higher cause than just our own mental health.

Do you find that odd?

What exactly is a nervous breakdown? I am apathetic about work. Luckily, I am financially independent after years of really hard slog.got highly qualified..even to executive level. I'm a woman in her mid forties, single but not by choice. I never met the right guy. I still get asked out quite often usually by much younger guys as many people tell me I look in my early 30s. I'm physically healthy and in good condition . The problem is I get obsesses with things. At the moment it is a guy I'm crazy about who isn't returning the same feelings & I can't get over him even though I try. I'm supposed to go to an interview for a job today but can't motivate myself. I'm thinking of cancelling a night with an old friend tomorrow. I feel I've been a failure in my life as I don't have a

I have done two very stupid things and now I have lost face and probably gained a reputation for being a sort of creep among a a rather large but distant group of people. Even though the group that hold this view are far removed from my actual social circle I still feel very ashamed about the whole subject. Is there any way to regain face? or is reputation forever tarnished and impossible to repair?

My cousin recently went to her college counsler to talk. coming out of the room she was told that she is bi-polar, a threat to society, and needed medication. note: she is 18 and her father has passed away in late august. she gets really depressed about it and cries and usually it only takes talking and conforting to get her through it. she has never hurt anyone or held in any agression. i feel that what the counsler told her is every unethical of her and an abuse of her position. who is the counsler to say that a grieving child is threat to society when my cousin just went into there to talk to someone? what can be done about this situation i am very angry that this had to happen.

They say the truth will set you free, which is true and good, but they say that the truth hurts which is true and bad, so is the truth a bad or good thing?

I have a guy friend who tells me what other guys say about me. Apparently, I look like a girl who's easy, stupid, and naive. I don't wear slutty clothing or anything like that, in fact you'd barely ever catch me wearing anything besides jeans.

For some reason I give off the impression that I'm one of...'those' girls... you know what I mean? That you typically see in a high school, caught up in their own superficial lives?


In reality I'm really quiet and nerdy and I really don't have very many friends at all because I just don't seem to get along with people my age.

Is it a bad thing that I give off the appearance of stupidity? Should my personality correspond with how others view me?

I have a real negative side to me. I focus on all the things that are wrong with the world and I can't seem to stop myself.
Does anyone have any good techniques for stopping these kind of thoughts in their tracks?
