Queues psychology

First of all, queues are a part of everyone of us life. Queues are everywhere, from waiting in the market to waiting in the bank. When people are waiting they get bored, get stressed and lose their temper. Many studies show that each minute travelling on the bus lasts as long two or three minutes waiting for the bus in the queue. In other words, they waist their time!

For this reason, there is queues psychology. They try to reduce these bad feelings as much as possible. Psychologists use very different ways. For example, music, mirrows, animation on tv's, or puts different magazines. Customers didn't view the time waiting in the queue as "empty" or lost time, but rather as part of an entertainment experience.

I believe that every one of us, must understand something about queues psychology and how it works, because it would help you to divert your attention from waiting in line!

Emotional Intelligence

First of all, what is "Emotional intelligence"? The definition of it says that it is the innate potential to feel, use, communicate, recognize, remember, learn from, manage and understand emotions and often measured as an Emotional Intelligence Quotient or EQ. I found that one psychologist S. Hein written that each child enters the world with a unique potential for these components of emotional intelligence:
1. Emotional sensitivity
2. Emotional memory
3. Emotional processing and problem solving ability
4. Emotional learning ability.
Also the way we are raised dramatically affects what happens to our potential in each of these areas. For example a baby might be born with a very high potential for music - he or she might be a potential Mozart -but if that child's potential is never recognized and encouraged, and if the child is never given the chance to develop their musical potential, they will never become a talented musician later in life. The world will then miss out on this person's special gift to humanity.
On the other hand, a child being raised in an emotionally abusive home can be expected to use their emotional potential in unhealthy ways later in life.
Because of these possibilities, we can make a distinction between a person's inborn emotional potential versus their actual emotional skills and use of emotional intelligence later in life. We can use the term "emotional intelligence" only for a person's inborn emotional potential.

My future profession

My future profession is very interesting. It's related with helping people and understanding yourself. It's psychology.
In fact, I chose this prefession, because it looks very different from all other professions. It's quite new in Lithuania, but I hope that in future it will be more popular than now. In my opinion, psychology is very necessary in all spheres.
I hope that by studying it, I'll learn a lot about human behaviour, mimics, the meaning of body language, mental process, how people think, how to help people with psychological problems and so on. At 1st term, I haven't known a lot about my profession, just main things about what is psychology, but I hope that I'll know much more this term and next year about it.
But on the other hand, it can be very hard to find a job in the future, because psychology sphere is not popular and it is not progressing so fast. Some psychologist works other jobs, even if they have high education. For example: as social workers, bussinesmans and so on. Our Psychological lectorer last term said that just 3 people who finished studies with him work as psychological specialist. But I believe that in future this profession will be very popular.
