Psychology can answer basic and complex questions such as: Why do people think and act the way they do? Why are some people miserable and others happy for no reason? How does the human mind work, how do we learn, and how does memory work? Why does society and the media have so much influence on people? We’ll cover all of this and more in this Introduction to Psychology course! The key to unlocking success and happiness in life is UNDERSTANDING YOURSELF—including why you think, feel and act the way you do. The best way to learn about yourself is to understand psychology and then apply it to your own life. In fact, most people who enter the psychology field are initially drawn to it out of an interest in understanding and improving themselves. Most of human behavior and experience takes place unconsciously, meaning we aren’t aware of WHY we feel or act the way we do. By learning what psychology is and how the human mind works, we become CONSCIOUS of what is taking place INSIDE of us and how this influences what we experience in life. This course teaches the foundation of psychology and provides a framework for understanding yourself AND human behavior in general. Here’s what you will learn in this Psychology course: ·        Learn how the human mind works and how you can use the power of your mind to your advantage ·        Learn the reasons you think, feel and act the way you do, as well as understand other people better ·        Explore different approaches to psychology and how research is conducted ·        Learn about how our senses interact with our brain and how this influences how we perceive the world around us ·        Find out if you are right brain or left brain dominant and what that means ·        Develop an understanding of the psychology of emotions and a better understanding of your own emotions, including what happens in your body when you’re stressed or anxious ·        Learn the psychology of memory and how your memory works, why you forget things, and how to improve your memory ·        Understand how you learn and why you were conditioned to continue certain behaviors and patterns ·        Explore what motivation is and how it works ·        Understand how children learn and grow based on their experience with their parents and the world around them ·        Explore social psychology and the influence that OTHERS have on you, including conformity, obedience, prejudice, and behaviors This course will also help students enrolled in AP Psychology and college-level Introduction to Psychology courses by providing reinforcement of concepts in a more interesting way with a fun professor!

This course is Part 2 of the Social Norms, Social Change series. In this course, we will examine social change, the tools we may use to enact change, and put into practice all we have learned in Part 1. See Social Norms, Social Change Part I at this link: https://coursera.org/learn/norms This course covers scripts and schemas, the cognitive structures in which social expectations are embedded, and their relationship with social norms. The course then examines the essentials of norm abandonment, including the relations between personal beliefs and social expectations. We will also evaluate existing intervention strategies, including legal reforms, information campaigns, economic incentives, and group deliberations. Finally, we look at a variety of tools policy makers may use to effect change, highlight the role of trendsetters in social change, and explore the conditions under which they can be successful. The course is a joint Penn-UNICEF project."

Can you imagine a life without people? Wherever we are, people play an extremely important part of our life. This course will teach you in a few simple lectures how you can use psychology to understand the people in your everyday life better.

What you will learn in this course Discover what personality actually is. Learn how to correctly use personality to understand the people around you. The five personality traits we all ought to know. The four psychological needs that drive most of our decisions and behavior. The truth about attitudes and how they secretly influence our behavior. Understand people with psychological disorders and what can help them. In short, you will learn the essential concepts psychologists use to understand people and how to apply them in your everyday life. One of the most enjoyable things when I studied Psychology was applying the knowledge to my everyday life together with my fellow students. Soon we were talking in our own language: about how that guy is totally self-enhancing, how this guy is using personality wrongly, or that teacher is implicitly biased towards women without noticing it. We realized that we were starting to understand the people around us more deeply and that made our lives a lot richer. In this course, I want to share this experience with you in a few short lectures that get straight to the important points. This course is about understanding the people around you in ways you couldn’t before, seeing things that you didn’t see before, and discovering the things that are really driving them. So go ahead and enroll so that you can experience it yourself . Let me add that I want you to be 100% happy with this course. If there is ANYTHING you are not satisfied with you can get 100% of your money back . So why not try it out ? Once you enroll you can start with any lecture and see for yourself what it has in store for you. And you can ask me any psychology question you have.

Policing has always been psychological challenging. On any given shift police officers may encounter a range of psychological challenges including domestic violence, interacting with people experiencing mental health issues, violent crime, even attending the aftermath of horrible accidents. The long exhausting shifts can also result in stressful person interactions within one’s personal life. The presence of COVID and political issues related to instances of over-policing have increased these stresses even more. This course has two goals. First, we want to inform officers how their stress system works and why they sometimes feel as they do. With this as a foundation we then describe some strategies officers can use to manage this system, giving themselves much needed breaks from the stress response and overall empowering them with a greater sense of control over how their bodies react to stress.

Dr. Martin E.P. Seligman—renowned worldwide as the “father of Positive Psychology”—has led visionary leaps in the scientific research, empirical data and personal understandings of human flourishing. This course explores the past, present and future of positive psychology as a journey through the key scientific leaps led by Dr. Seligman and his colleagues at the University of Pennsylvania's Positive Psychology Center and Master of Applied Positive Psychology program. There are no prerequisites.

Many innovations deployed to solve social problems never reach their full potential. Sometimes they fail because people resist changing their behavior even when they know they should do things like stop smoking, show up to a job training course, start using solar power, take a daily pill, or wash their hands. Knowledge alone won’t cause them to make the switch. There are other motivations, other drivers, and other factors about how their environments are set up that need to be accounted for and potentially redesigned. This is where social science research can inform the work of social entrepreneurs. In this course, Dan Ariely, a professor at Duke University and the author of the New York Times bestseller Predictably Irrational, will help social entrepreneurs apply insights from behavioral economics and psychology to understand how people make decisions. His research shows that when people make small adjustments to their environment or their daily routines, they can generate new use patterns and trigger better decisions that improve health, education, financial wellbeing, environmental preservation and other forms of social good. By drilling down to specific behaviors that your customers need to perform to use your product or service in the intended way, you’ll uncover new opportunities to redesign elements of the experience or motivate people to take required steps. In addition to video tutorials from Dan, you'll also gain access to 4 Behavior Change Design Guides (totaling over 90 pages) that will include step-by-step exercises to apply these principles to your product, along with examples from other social enterprises. Once you start seeing these principles in everyday life, you won’t be able to resist redesigning elements of your own life and business to help you and the people around you.

The Dalai Lama has said that Buddhism and science are deeply compatible and has encouraged Western scholars to critically examine both the meditative practice and Buddhist ideas about the human mind. A number of scientists and philosophers have taken up this challenge. There have been brain scans of meditators and philosophical examinations of Buddhist doctrines. There have even been discussions of Darwin and the Buddha: Do early Buddhist descriptions of the mind, and of the human condition, make particular sense in light of evolutionary psychology? This course will examine how Buddhism is faring under this scrutiny. Are neuroscientists starting to understand how meditation “works”? Would such an understanding validate meditation—or might physical explanations of meditation undermine the spiritual significance attributed to it? And how are some of the basic Buddhist claims about the human mind holding up? We’ll pay special attention to some highly counterintuitive doctrines: that the self doesn’t exist, and that much of perceived reality is in some sense illusory. Do these claims, radical as they sound, make a certain kind of sense in light of modern psychology? And what are the implications of all this for how we should live our lives? Can meditation make us not just happier, but better people? All the features of this course are available for free. It does not offer a certificate upon completion.
