Influences

On the one hand, it is difficult to talk about any influence, because any inner or outer stimuli determines some responses and any our action is a consequence of a quantity of causes. So, from this point of view, persone's behavior is influenced by all the environment, his own experience and his inborn features.
Otherwise, some environmental factors influence a person more than the others. For example, experience got in early ages does a greater influence on person's behavior.
In my case (like in most of other cases), I gues that the greatest influence on me is done by my parents and some other close persons.

Psychology Of Colour

It is important not to confuse symbolic meaning of colours with colour psychology. Colour symbolism refers to the use of colour as a symbol and is depended upon the culture and religion. Symbolic meaning of a colour can be very different in different cultures (e. g. in western civilization green colour is associated with spring and nature while in east it means unluck or cheating or in many western cultures white is a colour of innocence, cleanliness, hope and in east it is understood as colour of death and mourning).
Otherwise, colour psychology is a field of psychology that analyzes the effect of colours on human feelingsand behavior. As a matter of fact, some colours does a significant affect to our mood without reference to its symbolical meaning. Physiological tests have revealed that red hues increase bodily tension and stimulate the autonomic nervous system, while blue or green shades release tension. It is also found that yellow causes anxiety and, in fact, this colour could be called the colour of danger.

Subfields of Psychology

One of the most attractive points in psychology studies is the prospect to work in several different spheres.
On the one hand, the most attractive subfield of the sciense for me seems to be the clinical psychology, because in my opinion, such activity can be both benificial and interesting. I would be very keen on working with children, cause you can do the great influence on them and of course make a great benifit. As a matter of fact, such work demands a lot of responsibility.
On the other hand, I wouldn't say no to working in some business spheres, maybe in personnel department. So in my future I see myself working in some different subfields of psychology.

Why I Have Chosen The Psychology Studies

When I was sixteen, I noticed that it made a great interest on me to watch, how other people behave in different situations. It was interesting to watch and forsee their reactions. However, the first time as I thought about psychology studies was only few years later, when I was eighteen years old.
Either it was too late or I was not sure enough, I entered not psychology but computer sciense. It took almost three years to find out that computer science is not for me.
At last I am in my place and I feel very happy about it. I feel that I haven't done a mistake in my decision, that I am the right man in the right place. I see a lot of prospects to develope myself and to be useful to society.
