Question: “What are the psychological and physiological factors that create our experience of being alive or living?”
Psychological factors affect the mind and relate to the mental part of a person. Physiological factors deal with the physical functions of the mind and body pertaining to the individual. Psychologists could call this kind of study “psychodynamic psychotherapy” created in 1874. The biology involved in self-being can be described from behavioral neurology to neuropsychology.
The way peoples’ minds automatically register who they are and how they act without hesitation is a deeper way to look at who we are as individuals. Most rely on the surface of their likes and dislikes but this concept study relies on using scientific reasoning for defining a person’s living behaviors, tendencies and attitudes.
The research that will be conducted will provide an in depth view on how the brain functions with psychological and physiological influences in an almost unconscious way. It will help determine how our mind quickly connects us to the human being we’re attached to. This answer can also lead to how certain actions of the brain create a space for our mind to find out how we should act depending on the outside factors surrounding us.
I plan to take this study beyond books and the Internet. For each of the subjects, I will talk to one or more sources about their previous work done on this investigation, whether it is in the psychological field or in a biological/medical field. Their input will create a starting point for further research related to books, articles or concepts available.
Great absract!! You talked about the background, need, purpose and organization. I also like how your going to go beyond the internet for resources.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really good. you seem to have a well organized plan and a good start. I have always found this topic really interesting so im excited to see what you find.
ReplyDeleteInteresting topic; check out "The Taboo of Subjectivity: Toward a New Science of Consciousness" by (president of Santa Barbara-based Institute for the Interdisciplinary Study of Consciousness/www.sbinstitute.com) B. Alan Wallace.
ReplyDeleteThis is really interesting, I'm dying to read what you come to find out! I like how your question goes beyond basic functioning or thought and into the reasons behind our sense of self, the world around us, and what factors psychologically and physiologically define our living.
