The last researches shown that at the age of six months babies have the ability to recognize freindly people or enemy.
It is believed that babies have some kind of morality, which is very important for moral development. Some experiments shown that social evaluation is universal and unlearned.
What's more, researches shown that at the very early age babies are quite competent social creatures and could learn the basics of social interaction.
In conclusion, it's said that it's not yet claer whether the capacity described in these researches relates to a real understanding of social life.

Influences
It’s quite hard for me to remember one event when somebody influenced me. I think that everything has some kind of influence for us. Even in our daily moments. As an example, our day starts from the morning and our mood is influenced of our sleeping quality. If had a good and leisurely sleep we feel relaxed and our mood is exelent. On the other hand, if we could’t go to sleep or saw nightmares our mood isn’t so perfect. So we could really say that every moment could influence us.
Talking about peoples’sinfluence I think that the most important persons are my relatives and friends. I have my best frien, such as a sister, who always influenced me. When I am lost I usually ask her some kind of advice, and she helps for me. I would like to say that her opinion of one or another aspect is the biggest influence for me. Because it helps me to make decisions and choose the best way to go. I think such kind of influence is very important in my life.
Another important person is my daddy. He always told me his right and valuable thoughts. The most remembered event when he influenced me is my opinion where to study after school graduating. I wrote a list where I would like to study. And when I found out that Vilnius Gediminas university passed me to environmental engineering studies I was very upset. But my father was very happy. He tried to turn me to his own wiev that it’s good and promising speciality. And what’s interesting I feel better. I was laerning all the yaer with the idea “I have to prove that it’s possible for me”. But after one year I feel upset as in the beginning. These studies don’t give me any pleasure and it’s so boring for me. Then I decided to do what I really wanted. And now I am studying psychology. My father doesn’t like this idea, but the best thing is that he sustains my decision. And I don’t know how to name this influence, but I think one day I will finish my last studies in Vilnius Gediminas Technical University. Next year I’m going to be part-time student.
To draw a conclusion I would like to say that there are so many influences in our life that’s too hard to notice all of them. And even when really relative people try to influence you, it’s very important to make your own decision.

Psychology of sleeping
Everybody knows that without sleep human organism can't function properly. Sleep is necessary for us. So we should be interested in this activity and take more care of our sleeping quality and quantity. I decided to search more information about sleep and saw that there are so many information about it, that's not easy to talk about everything I've read. So I would like to mention some of the most interesting facts about sleep.
What's interesting, people think that sleep is passive part of our daily live,but in fact while we are sleeping our brains work actively. Also sometimes people think that more you sleep, more energy you get. Really it's just one of the myths of sleeping. That's not true because you don't need 12 or 15 hours to feel actively. The time of sleeping required depends on your age, life conditions and many other facts. Astonishing is that sometimes less sleep means you could feel better.
What's more I found another interesting fact "The more you sleep the more tired you feel".This is true because sleeping makes you lazy. The same example is that if you sit all over the day in front of tv and do nothing more as a result you are feeling lazing. The same thing is while you are sleeping too long.

The subfields of psychology
As we have learnt in our first module "Psychologists at work" there are many different subfields of psychology. Each of them have their individual methods, propositions, the subjects of research. On the other hand they all are connected with each other. In this my article I would like to talk about cognitive psychology and environmental psychology.
Firstly, as we know cognitive means connected with thinking or conscious mental processes. So cognitive psychology( behavioral psychology) is the study of how people think. These psychologists explore and study mental processes : thinking, knowing, feeling, learning, etc. They believe that mental process can be examined scientifically through the conduct of experiments. Thus, cognitive psychologists are especially interested in the ways in which people perceive, interpret, and store information, while psycholinguists are interested in the development, structure, and meaning of language. These psychologists are usually found in academic settings, research laboratories, or in technical and information-processing agencies.
The first cognitive psychologist was Skinner, who mentioned that human behavior is powerfully controled by everyone's wishes. Skinner found how to train animals effectively, and how to help people to modify his behaviour.
Another interesting subfield of psychology is environmental psychology. The definition of this subject is " it examines the interrelationship between environments and human behavior". This subfield is not very old. Environmental psychology focuses on both the effects of environmental conditions on behaviour and how the individual perceives and acts on the environment. As psychologists focus on people’s perceptions, attitudes and actions.
As we now our physical environment has some influences for us. So it's very important to find all the relationship between people and environmental. It would help to proof human's life quality and avoid some disasters.
I think it's very interesting to know how your physical environment influences your feelings, and mood. So I decided to find some more information about this subject, and I read an article "Environmental Design Psychology Ideas for Home".
This article said that green plants at home help people to feel emotionally parfect. It is better to use flowers or other live plants for decorating your house. It looks better and repair your bad mood. What's more plants relieve stress and clean your environment.
Also it's said that when you create your room design it's good to take a look to the nature. And try to get some ideas from it: colours, compositions.
Another point of decorating your house or room is that you should choose natural colours. We know that colours affect our emotions so it's very important to choose the right colour for your home space. Because it's the place where you spend the biggest part of your time.
In conclusion I would like to say that we should be more interested in nature and environment around us. And to take more care about things whose surround us. Our environment is the way for good feeling.

Phobias
As definition of this word says that it's an intense, irrational fear of an object or situation. It's wrong if we think that phobia is just a kind of fear. Cause it's quite normal to be afraid of thing - like going to the new job, hearing a huge clapping of thunder or just talking in front of the crowd. A phobia is different because it's extremely strong and unconsciousness feeling terror. It's also a kind of fear that doesn't go away. People who have some kind of phobia will be afraid of something every time he or she experiences it.
Panic attack when you are afraid of something can be really scary and may make person shake, sweat and breathe quickly. Some people who have panic attacks may have chest pains, feel dizzy, or feel like their hearts are pounding and they can't breathe.
Incidentally,few days ago my friends and I were sitting and waiting for our order in "Cili". And we read a magazine "cukrus", where was an article about phobias. It was said that there are so many phobias that counting them is impossible work. very interesting fact that about 10% of all people have some kind of phobia and mostly 25-44 years old people suffer from them. It's very funny that adults suffer from phobias more than children, when children has wider imagination and has less knowledge about the world.
One of the most popular phobia is - social. This phobia can make someone feel scared of being embarrassed in front of other people. Sometimes this phobia is called social anxiety. I think,we all feel bigger or smaller fear before meeting new people or speaking in front of them, but it doesn't mean that we all have social phobia. When our fear becomes uncontrolled,we can't enjoy this situations and try to avoid them, it's called social fear. I have read a very interesting article on the net about social anxiety and it was said that there are two different kinds of social phobia: general and specific.
If you suffer from first,general social phobia, you are scared of every situation where you are becoming in the center of attention. You are afraid when everybody is looking at you and noticing what you are doing. Sometimes you even worry about eating or drinking in the public. It is also difficult for you to go shopping, to the restaurant or everyplace where are many people. when you are suffering from social phobia parties one of the most dangerous place for you. You start feeling panic when you think about the room full of people and finally get into the room like in you thoughts you think that everybody is staring to you.
Another kind of social phobia is specific. This is a particular phobia that affects people who have to be the center of attention as a part of tier way of life. For example, salesmen, actors, musicians and so on. In spite of this, it doesn't cause any problems for them in ordinary social situations. Even if you suffer from social phobia you can notice that you can mix and communicate with other people with any problems. However, when you have to talk or perform in front of others , you become very anxious. It can affect even people who are experienced at speaking in public and do it regularly. Sometimes it can so affect you, that speaking in public becomes impossible, even asking a question.

Why I have chosen psychology?
I think one of the most important question after your graduation at school is : what are you going to do in your future?
This question is really hard and it's not so easy to find the right answer. All my years in school I was thinking about my future and trying to decide what job I would like to have.
I think it's quite difficult to know what you really want from your life when you are only eighteen years old. When the last moment came and I had to fill the paper of my application to university I was very lost in all my minds and wishes. So I wrote about ten specialitys and was waiting for the answer. So firstly I was accepted to Vilnius Gediminas Technical university, environmental engineering. I was really upset of this fact and it wasn't pleasure for me to learn such subject. All the year I was thinking about my future and trying to imagine what I am going to do with this speciality. It was quite boring to learn this subject, so I decided that I have to make a decision and change something.
I read all speciality's programs and try to find the most interesting for me. After long thinking I decided that psychology studies is the most suitable for me. I think that this subject is very broad and could be useful in many areas of life. Cause understanding other people is one of the most interesting and difficult task.

How colors effect people
As we know everything around us effect our feelings and behavior. So there are some kind of color psychology. I really agree that colors have some effection for us and it's important to understang how they do it.
To know colours psychology is very important when you are planning your room or home design, or planning to go somewhere. Your clothes do some kind of effect for other people, and also your home's environmen influences your emotions. It's good to know how to make the right impression for other. Or how to feel relaxed and calm at home. For these and many other reasons you should know more about colours.
Starting from the black. It's the darkest colour and ussually this colour asociates with bad emotions: angry, evil. As I have noticed in all hororr films black is the most popular colour. For me it associate with something mistic, night is black and at that time you feel differrent is you are in some unknown place, maybe in nature. Then the most simple sound could make your heart beat more quickly and thousands of ideas floods your mind. While at the day when you could clearly see everything around the same sound is so simple that you give no attention for it. So for me black is really mystic colour.
Talking about black clothes, I think it's classical colour, which fits everywhere. Also I think that it's the best colour for your formal clothes. The man wearing black clothes looks calm, solid and selfconfident. In my wardrobe, black colour usually takes quite a big part. Really I could say that I like black clothes. When I feel lost and don't know what to dress I take some of my black clothes and the problem is gone.
Of course I think that for home design black is not very weel, because he makes impression that room is smaller than it really is. And also I think black will make you feell sad, maybe angry.
Another colour is white. It's like a contrast for black. It's very shyny colour. For me it's not very lovely colour. If room is with white walls it seems very bright, but for me it associates with medical ward. Not very good feeling, I don't like doctors :)
White clothes is very nice, but on the other hand very quickly they become grey and dirty. So this colour is good not for casual clothes. But all in all white is quite elegant colour.
Yellow is one of the nicest colour for me. It really makes me feel good. I think it's because yellow colour associates with sun, and whe sun is shining I always feel better.
Yellow clothes looks very playfully. I think it's nice when are some small yellow details on your clothes. It makes an impresion that man wearing such kind of colour is playful, friendly and happy. Also this colour is perfect for home design, room looks shyny and you feel calm in such kind of room.
In this article I mentioned free of the most impressive colours for me. I think every colour differently affect each uf us. Also there are some common meanings of colours but about that you should use internet and find articles about right meaning.
