Changing human behaviour? Should I study psychology? or humanity?

Question

I have recently completed my bachelor degree. After I have discussion with my teachers. I am going to study master degree. I want to learn something about changing people or human behaviour, so I can change and improve my mother’s and father’s attitude toward me and how they communicate with me. I want to change their behaviours so they can say something nice to me. Should I study psychology? or humanity? These two are similar.

Answer 1

Separate your relationship/communication problems with your parents from any career decisions. Adulthood is about emotional maturity and it sounds like you are stuck in adolesence. By this time in your life you should have a more mature relationship with your parents - one of mutual respect and understanding. I'd try therapy with your parents (if they are willing) or individual therapy to help you gain emotional strength and independence.

After that, choose a career based on what fulfills you, not what you think will foster respect from your parents. Believe me, if you don't change your relationship with your parents, nothing you pick will please them. Those career choices will only give you misery later on in life.

Good luck!

Answer 2

psychology will teach you about human behavior and cognition, so i would suggest that.
