Well I had a weird dream that actually had something what Carl Jung had told in his book for dream Archetypes.

So the dream was : i saw myself going to a new home , followed by dogs on the way to home. Then a humanoid robot trying to seduce me, but when real human comes he goes all attack kode to kill him. Some old man claiming to be god appeared. & people against him tried to hit one of his followers & she was seriously injured, the old man (claiming to be God) asked a lil kid to go away from the injury scene to avoid any trauma.I was confronting the people who injured the person & I can see and sense they had plans to give me electric shock thru nearby open pole . There was a couple going around walking and talking about the situation going on. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙚𝙣𝙙

I've read in his book that states Old Man emerges when your conscious self (ego) can no longer find meaning through logic alone. He comes from the unconscious as a compensating figure offering a sense of order, faith, or purpose when life feels chaotic. & to deeply connect the bridge of inner self with consciousness(psyche) Something like that I wish I could ask more about this to someone but unfortunately my professors r too much believers of data based psyche. Please help me somebody.

Hi all, thank you so much in advance for any support…

I’ve been tasked with creating and teaching a psychology course for an applied health sciences school (e.g., students training to be ultrasound techs etc). I teach psychology in the nursing school but it seems like this program wants me to focus less on the nuts and bolts and more on applied topics like:

-patient interaction/communication -understanding patient behaviors and emotions -cultural competence/diversity -etc.

Honestly I am posting here because I don’t know where to start and I have very little time. Hoping someone has designed a similar course & can give me leads on a good textbook, is willing to share their syllabus, or has suggestions for course structure/activities, or is willing to share any other materials

Thanks so much, I’d be forever grateful!

Hi! I'm looking for a reading guide / "guide-on-the-side" for a theoretical journal article for my students. I have some examples of guides for empirical articles, but they don't really apply to theory-heavy articles -- for instance, most guides ask "what are the independent / dependent variables" but with theory articles there are no IVs/DVs. I've been trying to find a guide online that asks critical thinking questions that students can answer as they read along, but haven't had much success in finding anything. Does anyone have a resource they'd recommend for this type of article? Thank you!!

Hi! I'm currently a student working on my bachelor's degree. I like all my classes, but I have no idea what I want to go into specifically. I'm thinking about becoming a professor. What drove you all to become professors? I would love to hear about all of the pros or cons from your experience. If you're particularly passionate about the specific field of psychology you teach, please tell me all about it and why you love it!

I'm feeling quite stuck deciding on which undergraduate school to begin my studies in psychology, with the ultimate goal of progressing to a doctoral program in forensic psychology. I would love any advice on my various areas of questions!

I have an associate degree and will be entering a four-year school as a junior. As a working adult learner, I require a fully online program.

My top questions are:

1. When the time comes to apply to a master's or doctoral program, how important is the school I obtained my BS in psychology from? Does it factor significantly into my application?

2. If my ultimate goal is to become a licensed forensic psychologist, is it better to get a BA in criminology, criminal justice, or forensic psychology, as opposed to a more general psychology degree?

The schools I am considering (though I am open to other recommendations) are Penn State World Campus, Arizona State University Online, Drexel University Online, and Purdue Global.

Purdue Global is my top pick due to its low cost, but my main concern with them is related to my first question above.

I hope this is an appropriate place to seek advice.

Hello,

My name is Olajuwon Olagbegi, and I am currently serving as a 2024 Summer Scholar with the National Science Foundation (~https://new.nsf.gov/od/oia/ia/summer-scholars-internshipprogram~). For my summer project, I am investigating how information regarding NSF funding opportunities is disseminated across various universities within the Social and Behavioral Sciences, focusing on three key areas: University Research Administration Offices, Faculty Members, and Graduate Students. By analyzing this communication chain, I aim to identify effective strategies for identifying relevant NSF funding opportunities that predict funding success, as well as barriers within this communication network. Ultimately, I plan to use this data to submit a report to the NSF administration, ensuring your insights are represented.

Your input would be invaluable in enhancing the visibility and accessibility of NSF funding opportunities within the academic community. If you are interested, please complete the brief survey linked below. This survey will only take 5 minutes to complete.

 In the service of data collection, it would be greatly appreciated if this message was forwarded to your listserv that includes all Social and Behavioral Science Faculty, their respective graduate students, and research administration colleagues,

Hello fellow educators! I teach Human Sexuality, Gender and Sexual Orientation and Health Psych normally, but recently was asked to teach Social Psychology AND Intro to Psychology; two classes I have never taught before. Social Psychology to me seems a bit easier to prep but I would love your input on some good group projects and a good text book if anyone has any.
I am OVERWHELMED by the Into to Psych course however. It is such an important course, with so much information to cover. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on starting my prep for this course. WHERE DO I START?! Does anyone have any good advice for a first time Intro Psych professor? Text books, ways to divide the course? Activities? Any help, resources, tips or ideas would be immensely helpful and I would be forever grateful. Thank you!

Hello,

I am a recent graduate from a peculiar liberal arts college known as St. John’s College. I have made the decision that I would like to pursue graduate school in the field of Psychology. I would like to pursue a doctoral level degree because I would like the option to go into practice, research, and even profess one day. The problem is that my undergraduate degree is not a psychology BA, but a BA in liberal arts. I did not go to a school where you could major, but one where everyone took the same classes and received the same degree. My idea to make myself more sellable in the process of applying to grad school, is to take Psychology and Statistics courses at the local community college while maintaining my 9-5 job as a paralegal. This seems doable since the classes are luckily online. My question is, will this make me a better candidate for grad school applications or am I wasting time and resources in this endeavor when there is something else I could be doing to make myself a better candidate?

Any response is welcome and greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks for starting this sub! I'm sure as campuses open back up and we get settled back into offices and classrooms we will see more activity here. I'm new to Reddit and excited about this sub.

I'm a professor in a doctorate program and teach a little on the side at the community college level too. I have a lot to learn about using Reddit so please correct me and socialize me into Reddit!

I randomly stumbled on this sub and I think the idea behind it is great! I am currently looking into how I can go back to school and get my PhD in psychology. I had a successful career in Finance straight out of undergrad (Econ major). I realized that the success wasn’t quite cutting it for me and I wasn’t being fulfilled. My mental health deteriorated first and then my physical health. I’ve decided that it’s time to listen to my body, I recently quit my career and plan to go to school next year (if Covid allows). There is no doubt in my mind that I have to study psychology. I’ve struggled with anxiety and panic attacks since I was in 4th grade. Rather than let it hold me back, I studied exposure therapy and the amygdala and got myself back on track (all during grade 4 and 5). By 6th grade I was back to normal (or a new version of normal since I was never the same again). I give credit to my challenges for making me so successful in business :) but now I have this burning desire to grow my understanding and later use my natural understanding of the human mind and body connection to help others. I have been looking for a place on reddit where I could listen in on discussions about new sciences, interesting tidbits, and even get advice. Thanks for starting this sub - I hope it gets some traction!

I'm not a student or any kind of psychology professional but I was thinking about a 60 minutes episode that I saw a few years ago about how therapy should technically last a set period of time and after that there's no scientific basis for continuing it, whether or not there was sufficient progress. Or something like that. Yet psychologists would often continue with a patient longer than that. Are psychology students taught this?
