This is what my prof used in a Positive Psych course last year: https://www.amazon.ca/Positive-Psychology-Theory-Research-Applications/dp/033526218X/ref=mp_s_a_1_11?dchild=1&keywords=positive+psychology&qid=1620530585&sprefix=positive+psych&sr=8-11

How Emotions are Made by Lisa Feldman Barrett is an interesting perspective on emotions, which implies how cognitive biases are formed by describing the presence of affect and how that is regulated by our mind's need to balance our body budgets. Definitely recommend it, will give you a great perspective on approaching those concepts.

https://www.audible.com/pd/How-Emotions-Are-Made-Audiobook/B01NA0TG25?source_code=GO1GB907OSH060513&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2bG36o_r3QIVDbazCh3XEw-1EAAYASAAEgK43PD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

I totally suggest 7 Sins of Memory by Daniel Schacter! It is about the different failings of our cognitive functioning! I took cognitive psych last semester and aside from the text book we read/discussed this!

The Seven Sins of Memory: How the Mind Forgets and Remembers https://www.amazon.com/dp/0618219196/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_k4ldGb2KZPK3Z

If you’re serious about clinical psychology then give this book a go. It’ll give you a run down of these kinda of questions and so much more. Are you talking about the pros of skipping your masters? Well actually I would say that skipping your masters is the norm. I can actually only think of two programs that require a masters first. Pepperdine and Philadelphia School of Osteopathic Medicine. Maybe John Jay as well? Anyway, if you’re interested in clinpsych, it all matters about what you do on your way there. I’d say most people do their masters to get more clinical experience, research experience, or to make up for a low undergrad GPA. On the other hand some people though don’t want to jump right into a doctorate program and have a plan to do their masters first for career development reasons. Or if you’re just interested in psychotherapy, I suggest just doing your masters. I’m a current applicant applying to PsyD and PhD programs (I’m in socal by the way), and I’m trying to skip my masters and a gap year to save time and money. I have a good GPA, research, and clinical experience and I know my end goal. I see no reason to get a masters first which will just run me two years and more debt.

There is a bunch to consider here, and while other posters have posted good summaries with their personal takes sprinkled in, the best way to determine your direction would be some personal footwork. Look into what types of individuals can receive licensure to practice psychotherapy in your state(s) of interest. Your two near universal degree directions, in general, are typically: PhD/PsyD in Clinical Psych or MSW with licensure (LMFT, LCSW). While I've already had my heart set on clinical PhD for a while now, I really found this book helpful. PM me if you have any interest in a copy and I may be able to assist.

I'm sure there's some important info I'm skimming over here, but this is definitely a question that's going to require a ton of personal footwork to ensure you're on the track that is right for you.

I've found the really helpful app "EasyThesis" in the play store last week. Look here for lot of good tips to write a well-organised and convincing thesis and also how to find reliable sources:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.perpetuum.easythesis

Absolutely just as eligible. I would recommend looking at the difference between clinical and counseling psychology programs to see which approach to clinical work you feel matches your goals more. Finding an APA accredited program is the most important thing.

If you’re able to find a copy of the book Graduate Study in Psychology from the American Psychological Association either by purchasing it or in a library (https://www.amazon.com/Graduate-Psychology-American-Psychological-Association/dp/1433830116?dplnkId=d46474b4-687f-457a-8b8d-04eb60f4b46f&nodl=1#), it will be your best friend regarding normative data from past students and information like that. I would probably start there and see what schools and programs match your interests (they should also have data on funding and tuition listed as well), but once you a couple schools you’re interested in you should visit their website because their funding information is usually public.

Purdue is great as someone has already mentioned. really want to recommend Zotero!! it’s a completely free in-text citation and references list generator. get the chrome extension and you can save articles straight to your library using it, and 70% of the time they will input all the details for you but sometimes the formatting is off or they can’t auto-save from certain websites so personally i still always double check, occasionally i manually input the details. you can attach PDFs into your library too. get the extension for your MS Word/Google docs and as you write your essay you can input your citations and references, the reference list is automatically arranged in alphabetical order with second line indent. and after i’ve finished everything i double check once again, and i use Purdue guides to know if there’s a mistake in the format.

Some suggestions: * Misbehaving by Richard Thaler. Describes the beginning of behavioral economics. * The Rational Animal by Kenrick & Griskevicius. A good counterpoint to much BE, they argue that many biases make sense from an evolutionary perspective.

Any textbook by David Myers is likely a good read. I really enjoyed his Psychology in Modules a couple of years ago in an intro college course.

I would recommend the GRE ETS books (Official GRE Super Power Pack, Second Edition https://www.amazon.com/dp/1260026396/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_QRGH3RQQF2WX3CYKJSQJ)

And I'd also recommend looking into a subscription to Magoosh GRE especially because they have really great videos for math!

I second what the other commenters have already said. I stopped by to say that, when I was preparing to apply for programs, I found this resource to be very helpful: Insider's Guide to Graduate Programs in Clinical and Counseling Psychology: 2020/2021 Edition

Second mindfulness, and anything that gets you into meditation. I use an iPhone app called .. funnily enough .. Meditation (or here for Android)

This app LeCardio https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.streamly.lecardio&hl=en_IN

It uses BM along with other strategies to increase healthy behaviors to counter hypertension.

This is a start. If you can find a whitepaper or some initial report of their work, you might get lucky.

The Psychology Book by DK books is fantastic as an introduction, really easy to read and goes into a bit about everything from the history of philosophy right up to modern day focuses of psychology. I read it before I started my undergrad and it really helped me to understand the basics :)

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1405391243/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_idrLBbMQBWV8Z

Not wanting to pass judgement, but seems some people borderline ignored my text, or thinks there's only one way of doing things or whatever.

I found a book that fits what I was looking for:

https://www.amazon.com/Psychology-Complete-Introduction-Sandi-Mann/dp/1473609305/ref=sr_1_9?crid=11CVBXJHRL750&keywords=psychology&qid=1664825021&qu=eyJxc2MiOiI3Ljc0IiwicXNhIjoiNy4yOCIsInFzcCI6IjcuNjAifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=psycholog%2Caps%2C240&sr=8-9

And it even explained why the types of books I've mentioned were unpleasant. If you find a better book, please share with us. I wish there was a Wiki for Psychology like r/linguistics has one. If it ever happens, this is the introductory book I suggest.

You could try "A Liberated Mind" by Steven Hayes then. A very accessible introduction into Acceptance and Commitment Therapy written by its originator

https://www.amazon.com/Liberated-Mind-Pivot-Toward-Matters/dp/073521400X#:~:text=%22A%20Liberated%20Mind%20provides%20an,courage%2C%20and%20joy.%22%E2%80%93

It's "old", but before psychologists started bending over to societies ever changing norms to conform to what is being forced on society as nothing is abnormal, if I'm doing it, so let's all just accept everyone for whatever they are or want you to believe they are to try and establish a false sense of peace and harmony society ideology.

[Academic] Goals/Personality/Behavior Study (University of Toronto, PAID)

Hi folks,
The UofT Decision Neuroscience lab is seeking participants for a study about your goals, personality and behavior.

The study just requires you answering some daily surveys on your iPhone (about 15 min/day total). Payment is $20/week for 2 weeks plus a $15 bonus if you don't miss a day. You also get entered into a draw to win $200 each week (and there will only be 20 participants so your chances are pretty good).
You must be over the age of 18 and have an iPhone with iOS 12 or higher. If you are interested in participating, sign up at this link.
Hope you can join!

A generic example of the process is described here: https://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Psychodynamics-Workplace-Bullying/dp/178049162X

There’s a good discussion of the violation of group norms, envy etc, that you describe.

You’re describing narcissistic grandiosity and the scapegoating mechanism.

I’ve met the people you describe and their shared consistent trait is using the weak and vulnerable in order to label, contain, and ceremoniously exclude their own unwanted parts.

This is the Scapegoating Complex. This book also goes into how some people are unwitting scapegoatees, which gives the traumatising narcissist an open goal.

It is this open goal that draws the controlling and the sadistic into the therapeutic fields, with the wider public assuming that it can only be for altruistic reasons.

These books also document why the people you complain about actually see themselves as ‘good’, despite the obvious display of their unacknowledged shadow.

Edited to correct the hyperlinks.

UX Research spans across many different responsibilities and what you do day to day depends on the projects you work on and the company you work for. There is usually a split between qualitatively and quantitative researchers. I was lucky to learn from somebody that applies both and therefore i was positioned very well in the market even before I finished my degree.

But overall, what you do as a UX research is generate insights that inform business decisions. Mostly this is taking place in a product/tech environment where you understand what problems occur when users interact with a product and then make suggestions to the executing parties. In practice that would be assessing usability and understandability of a design so that then the UX designers can improve the prototypes.
So in a nutshell you design studies to interview or survey users about them or product interactions, collect the data, do the analysis and then communicate the findings.

So strong skills in interviewing and statistical analysis is very important for UX research work.

that is as "in a nutshell"-y as it gets.

This is a phenomal book that does a very good job in giving a good overview as to what UX research is in practice.

The 3D brain app. Do not upgrade. Just get the basic version. It’s fantastic.

Also our PsyD program had this coloring book as a requirement: The Human Brain Coloring Book

I actually found this textbook really interesting and went back to read the non-prescribed parts of it after the semester: https://www.amazon.com/Biopsychology-Books-Carte-10th/dp/0134567706

I've only read a few sentences of this one so far but I am finding it interesting also: https://www.amazon.com.au/Introduction-Counselling-John-McLeod/dp/0335247229

(Btw if someone can suggest a more concise, psychology focused guide to counselling that would be great).

As a starting point, I find “Handbooks” the most useful starting point. It avoids pop psychology pitfalls (though they can provide useful frameworks for applied approaches).

As an example for Attachment, take a look at this one for example:

https://www.amazon.com/Handbook-Attachment-Third-Research-Applications/dp/1462525296

I’ve got the second edition and refer to it quite often. Can only imagine the third edition is even better.

Hope this is useful. Good luck!!

Here's the thing, in most cases, the most information-dense and accurate books will be textbooks. That's the case for damn near any topic in Psychology (basically any science, really). Books like the one mentioned (Attached) are written to catch peoples' attention and make them think one book can solve their relationship issues (it can be argued from whom this idea originates -- whether the author or the consumer). I'm sure there's still some good information in there, and it's likely much easier a read than a textbook. That being said, while it's admittedly only one person, a proclaimed therapist did review the book -- and not favorably.

Here's an alternative that I found. It's a pretty thorough (despite it saying "brief") overview of Attachment theory by a Professor at the University of Illinois, which includes references to published literature on the topic. To be upfront about a few things, I have a B.S. in Psychology and am starting a grad program in Clinical Psych. this Fall (definitely not an expert); this is not my alma mater (so no bias there), and I honestly only skimmed through it but it all looked good to me.

Gotcha! I had a course that gave me the same impression, although, it’s not necessarily true. A lot, if not most, PhD programs are equally research/practice based. Sometimes you might even find one that leans more towards practice than research. I highly recommend this book to help you during your journey of finding doctoral programs. :) Also, don’t feel pressured into getting a masters degree just because you don’t have research experience. The time you take during a masters degree is the same amount of time you can spend gaining research experience.

> You won't be competitive for non-diploma mills if you apply this upcoming cycle. (Not "likely won't"-- won't.)

This is simply incorrect. An overall GPA of 3.8 is sufficient to get into most average to good Psy.D programs.

You are however dead in the water for Ph.D programs without having conducted any research.

Also, what were your GRE scores? I recommend the Insider's Guide for information on psych doctoral programs, it goes into extreme detail.

There is no APA format for a table specifically reporting a Mann-Whitney. I've actually never seen it reported in a table format before in a published study. A Mann-Whitney doesn't really give enough information output to warrant the effort of putting it in a table. Seems like a waste of time, imo.

Just report it in paragraph form in your results. There's no need for a table.

https://www.amazon.com/Motivational-Interviewing-Helping-People-Applications/dp/1609182278 motivational interviewing I think is helpful no matter what modality you end up using. I think it really makes the extra difference which helps you pay extra attention to the client’s processes to make sure you’re not moving faster than the client is ready for.

Something like this can be helpful. I can’t remember the book I taught from, but it was similar.

theories of the personality /0073532193

This one is such a great book, with daily life examples to explain every aspect of the theory, also it is an easy read.

I would check out the Introduction to Psychology classes on Coursera. There are two good ones, one from Yale and another from the University of Toronto. You can audit them for free and the Yale course has a section on cognitive psych.

You could also grab an intro college textbook like this one for more in depth look into specific names and theories in the field.

A History of Modern Psychology: The Quest for a Science of the Mind https://smile.amazon.com/dp/1544323611/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_ZB6B0MHNVGG381KP8BYJ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Depends where you are. I'm a mature student doing an accredited online degree in the UK from Open University. Accredited means that a recognised scientific society, the British Psychological Society has approved the course as properly representing the science, and you can become a member when you pass your degree.

If you want your online course to count for anything, check who accredits it, something to think about as you look for a course.

Beyond that, my advice is to take post-16 psychology classes or online taster courses in different subjects. Psychological knowledge is also helpful background in social work, care and education, even marketing and HR. So lots of possible routes to take as a degree that apply psychological throries rather than actually practice or research it (and might have more earning potential.)

You will probably change a lot before you are university age, so no need to close your options yet. I'd read an introduction book on Psychology too, something like this maybe.

PS: My top three study skills were:

1. Using the Pomodoro Technique https://todoist.com/productivity-methods/pomodoro-technique
2. Using Speech to Text for writing discussion posts or shorter essays (which I then edited on my computer since it's easier to explain something verbally than type it)
3. Working 15 minutes per day on a bigger assignment or other deadline (ex: important scholarship) way before the deadline. Things are much easier when you break it down into smaller pieces and it's always possible to find 15 minutes in your day

I just wish apps like speechify (that read things outloud to you) were around when I was in school. I'm jealous of everyone who can take walks and listen to readings or do them during a commute.

I don't know if you got one or not but I do have a recommendation. I bought one that I liked (after a LOT of research) and if you're still looking check out this one --> https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PJN64T3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1

Hello,

I am a master of psychology student and I am researching domestic violence survivor satisfaction with advocacy services. I am currently seeking individuals of any gender 18+ who has been a victim of domestic violence (physical, financial, emotional, psychological, sexual, etc.) and attempted to seek advocacy services (legal, emotional, psychological, physical, etc.) to take my survey. It includes a brief demographic section followed by a measure where individuals can rate their satisfaction with the services they received. It takes an average of 3 minutes to complete. All participants will remain completely anonymous. Please consider taking this survey and sharing it with others. I plan to use the data from this survey to help advocacy agencies improve their services so that survivors of all ages and genders can receive adequate support.

I took introduction biology along with psychological psychology at the same time in university and it helped me understand how to brain physiologically works so much better. Just thought I’d share I think it’s a great idea.

The textbook I had for my physiological psychology class is this one if your interested in reading it: newest version of the textbook, although the 9th edition may be sufficient and cheaper to start

Anyone 18+: I am an undergraduate student working on an honors thesis, and would really appreciate your help in participating in this study!

Thank you💚

Questionnaire for Facial Processing - Research conducted at UEA by first year psychology students

Google Scholar. I wouldn't go for websites, unless its for a starting point. Wikipedia is also a good starting point, but never cite wikipedia in a paper. Wikipedia is not guaranteed to be correct, but it often gives u an easily accesible article to give u a general understanding of something. Once you know the professional langauge surronding ur topic, go for research articles on google scholar.

I also like Z-library. Here's a link: https://z-lib.org/

Yalom's books are wonderful! On top of that, I would recommend On Becoming a Person by C. Rogers, as well as Extraordinary Relationships by Roberta M Gilbert.

If you don't mind not having a physical copy of the book, check z-lib.org site!

I don't want to say much, so I will leave you with this.

Also, if you don't want to pay for SPSS because it's terrible, you can use JASP. It's free, looks like SPSS but works better and you can also do Bayesian stats with them.

Okay, so a few things comes to mind reading your post, and the first is to remember to breathe. You will figure this out, and you do not need to go directly from a B.S. to a graduate program.

I am less familiar with Psy.D. requirements as I went the Ph.D., but I am curious about why you want to get a Psy.D., what your career goals are, and what other degree paths you've explored?

As far as finding programs, this book is recommended as a good starting place. Googling Psy.D. programs could get you some information. The best factor is going to be fit and aligned interests. What areas of psychology are you interested in pursuing? Finding faculty who share those interest is usually the best way to go about this process.

I have more advice I could give, but I think it would be best to better understand your interests and career goals to really target the advice for you, specifically.

I got this book quite recently and its so easy to read and understand. its really colourful and engaging too so it makes it so good for when you want to look back quickly

How psychology works

https://www.amazon.com.tr/Attached-Science-Attachment-Find-Keep/dp/1585429139 Im reading this one now and it is great so far! probably you have learned couple of things about attachment styles if you are a psychology student, but it is also relationships and its relation with attachment styles, it is fun to read, not technical, based on stories etc.

The archer analogy was also used in Kahneman and others' newest book 'Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgment'. Kahneman and other notable researchers described "bias" as any systematic deviation, usually caused by predictable factors. So with this definition, bias is not only an external influence, but also an internal one. For instance, think of optimism bias, the Dunning-Kruger effect, or hindsight bias, just to name a few. As another comment suggested, internal bias (or cognitive bias) is often a result of heuristics (i.e., mental shortcuts). As long as something systematically 'clouds' how we perceive reality, it can be considered a bias.

Note the emphasis on systematic here. Kahneman made it a point to differentiate bias from noise (i.e., random errors), though that is another topic altogether.

One of my favorites.

Read this in my human neuropsychology class in college.

First book I ever used was Intentional Interviewing & Counseling

https://www.amazon.com/dp/1305865782/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_BB169GBZZ435PP1WBRFD

You can probably find it as a PDF on... https://b-ok.cc/

For a CBT book, many people use Beck's Cognitive Behavior Therapy textbook. https://www.amazon.com/Cognitive-Behavior-Therapy-Third-Basics/dp/1462544193

The Clinician's Guide to the Diagnosis and Treatment of Personality Disorders https://www.amazon.com/dp/1936128411/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_BWV79PSJR4D4XQFVQ7SZ?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1

This is the best book IMO

This is what my prof used for their Positive Psych class last year, undergrad.

I think Andy Field's Discovering Statistics is a good first book. You can run the analyses in any software.

Another great source of knowledge is Understanding Psychology as a Science by Zoltan Dienes.

In addition to what another commenter mentioned about Braun & Clarke, Cresswell is also very good.

I think this may help. I've completed my behavioural sciences degree (Bsc) and masters in psychology (Msc) this year. This book is all i needed https://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Write-Psychology-Student-Guide/dp/1405156945

Sounds like a pretty common experience of neuropsychiatric diversity which is experienced primarily as "other" and not as an integrated sense of "self." A good portion of the world experiences life from outside in, or primarily in this sense of other.

The autism and lack of experience of agency that's coming with it is a common neurological variation, often but not always also associated with alexithymia--a cognitive language disorder that affects one's perceptions of the moment--forcing the conscious awareness into the outside world. It sounds like you might have begun remediating that through therapy so that it doesn't have nearly the same level of impact now, even though the general underlying neurology remains.

You might like the book Creativity, which is a neuropsychologist writing about evidence-based knowledge about hemispheric work in the brain. It might help to unify what's going on and how you can navigate it in a healthy and productive way.

If you are interested in a text, I highly recommend Comparative Psychology: Evolution and Development of Behavior by Papini. It is what I use in my Evolutionary Psych courses. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0130804290/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_uUa6FbRC6Z5R1

So I worked as a VERY successful CPA in one of the big 4 global accounting firms. I was just about to make partner. I was party of global leadership. I was making great money. I was successful. I was miserable. I hated getting out of bed in the morning. I had done this career because it was steady and reliable. But I felt the same as you... almost the same story (but I’m in my late 30s). So I quit my job and I’m back in school for psychology now. Here’s what I learned:

• almost any psychology career needs some sort of post-baccalaureate. Either a masters or a PhD or a PsyD. There’s a big difference from country to country on job/school requirementsso I can only speak about the US... if you’re somewhere different then need to read up about there.

• In the US, it depends what kind of job you want on whether you need a masters vs doctorate. Read this. It goes into good detail about types of careers and what degrees are needed and then what you need to get into programs. You may also want to read this. You don’t need an undergrad in psych to get into masters or PhD programs but you DO need to have the required basic classes and statistics experience and have an idea of what you want to do. You also need research experience to get into most PhD programs.

-so for me... I went back to school where I got my undergrad and am taking the additional classes to get a psych major. That way I get the opportunity to learn what I want to specifically do in the field, get research experience, and have teacher recommendations to get into a post-bacc program. I think this path has been helpful

Never too late. Good luck. Feel free to ping me if you have any other questions.

I just finished a (graduate level) ethics in psych course.

professional ethics

This was our book and it's ridiculously helpful. It's a collection of publications, so you can pursue the contents and read whatever fits.

oh, I forgot to add, The Quiet Therapies by David Reynolds is an intro text to Psychotherapeutic modalities developed in Japan. While not strictly Buddhist, they each are influenced by Buddhism in a way that western modalities tend not to be. I would also recommend Mick Cooper's Existential Psychotherapy overview. Again, existential is not quite Buddhist, but absolutely has a view of the self that is quite Buddhist in nature (and is deeply connected to Gestalt Psychotherapy). Enjoy!

Check out my book, I had a psychotic break and wrote a book trying to form a cult.

I got help, I’m on meds. And I’m trying to share my story.

Lately I've been using this app to keep up with new research in psychology. This isn't specific to any field. I just like to read about any interesting research in general.

Dissertation and Theses from Start to Finish: Psychology and Related Fields This is the book I was told to buy to help with my dissertation

I highly recommend Morton Hunt's "The Story of Psychology". At one point I was thinking of assigning it in place of a traditional textbook (using lectures to fill in the gaps).

https://www.amazon.com/Story-Psychology-Updated-Revised/dp/0307278077

There’s no where that’s going to have it too cheap but Amazon has some used versions that can be about forty or more dollars lower than a new version.

This is the book we used in my clinical counseling Master’s program. It breaks each life stage into physical, cognitive, and emotional/social aspects. Seriously, it’s thorough. https://www.amazon.com/Human-Growth-Development-Across-Lifespan/dp/1118984722/ref=nodl_

Where? Well, I can't really tell you that. There are literally hundreds of clinical and counseling doctoral programs out there and a dozen or so faculty members per program. You need to figure out which faculty members at which programs fit with your research interests and goals. This is not only so that you enjoy what you're doing in grad school (this will keep you interested and motivated during an already difficult endeavor), but also so that you can actually get into grad school in the first place. Doctoral program admissions function on the basis of "fit" with the program and your potential mentor.

I recommend getting this book by John Norcross: https://www.amazon.com/Insiders-Graduate-Programs-Counseling-Psychology/dp/1462525725

It's a good primer on clinical and counseling psychology programs and actually has a list of every accredited program in the appendix. This list includes the research and clinical training areas offered by each program, which can help you filter down all programs into just those which might fit your interests and goals.

I'd also recommend looking through the stickied threads and using the search function for the Psychology doctorate subforum of the Student Doctor Forums:

I was psych undergrad. Software is pretty simple and flexible (whether it's design apps or statistics apps), it's more about underlying ideas in UX. I'd start reading before practicing or you might not do it right; here's a great beginning place.

Also, learn about whether you want to do more UX or UI work; they're not the same.
