Personal Reflection 3

Introduction

            Psychology plays an important role in our daily tasks and this is mainly meant for the students.  This means that how the students learn and incorporate their information is mostly influenced by psychology.  Psychology in education comprises of how students learn in the educational basis, the effectiveness of education and the psychology of teaching of schools.  This mainly focuses on how the students learn and grow concentrating much on specific and special groups such as children and those with disabilities.  Thus having the awareness of these specific learning theories and the individual learning style helps to better understand the information as well as developing positive students’ manners. 

            For instance some of the students wish to know the basis of the human behaviors.  This course helps them to have the knowledge concerning the psychological, social and the biological basis of the human behavior.  These students are able to have experience in their assessment on discovering these reasons. The basis of the psychology education is made up of some theories that explain the modes in which people learn new things.   Religion psychology on the students mainly focuses on the application of the psychological ways and the backgrounds of the religious cultures and to the religious and the non-religious persons.  It tries to show the origins and the uses of the religious theories and the manners.  Many concepts of religious faith still remain unknown by psychology.  Religion and faith plays a big role in many lives of people but it is not clear on how its results are positive and sometimes become negative (Belzen, 2012). 

            On how religion influences psychology is on how it gives a description of the investigation matters on whether they are shares on religious basis such as the traditional ritual assessments, personal experiences and the attitudes. The other influence it has on psychology is on the religion history history that is based on psychological terms on the increases of the context and how to clarify the outcomes of the psychological research.  Thus understanding the religion as a meaning evaluation influences the motivation, cognition and the social connections of the psychological education students (Belzen, 2012). 

            Religion is also influenced by the psychology as while studying the personal religious experiences, William James who was an American psychologist made a difference between the healthy minded and the spiritual souled religiousness.  Those who are focused on the healthy minds about the religion ignore the evil in the world and concentrates on the positive and the good things.  Those who focus on the religion spiritually ignore evil and the suffering and thus needs a joining experience based on religion and they reconcile good and the evil.  This is seen to have the influence in that the persons who believe and acts according to the religious wishes and their actions works out, their actions becomes the proper choice of the person.  Thus if the religious practice have less effectiveness, there is no reason for continuing to do it (Belzen, 2012). 

            Prejudice and aggression works together in sustaining social equality in America. The horrible mistreatments in the recent history of America like that of the Jews, African American women has been the huge incentive for the study of prejudice and aggression.   According to the study of the social psychology, prejudice and aggression has moved to the current religious beliefs and manners that can be said to be positive.  Thus prejudice and aggression in America gives us the theoretical background and the interventions in the aim of reducing them (Chin, 2004). 

Conclusion

            The social psychologists therefore helps us deal with the factors that help us behave in appositive way on the other people’s presence and focus on the status under which specific manners and actions happen.  The social psychology is the way of acting the way these feelings, beliefs and the purposes are based on it  where it also influences the people’s connections with others.
