The psychology of handwriting

One of the psychology field is a handwriting.Everyone has their own unique handwriting and it can show many things about the personality.Some people believe in it, some no. It is a projective technique like body language which can profile human behavior in the areas of social skills, thinking styles, achievement, work habits and possible ways with dealing with stress.

I tell about some types of writing:

If each letter is separated and a pen is witdrawn,also letters are wrote disorderly and they differ from each other, then in this way write people who like laughting, do not worry about troubles and do not plan their future.

If a person write long turn of letters j and g, they are self- confident.This type of person do not pay attention to other people's quizes.

If letters are wrote very smartly, this person spend much time in front of the mirror.

So, it is just a small part of such analizies.

What is interesting, that experts says that handwriting depends on some motorical areas of the brain.Full analizies of handwriting can diagnoze some illnesses.Slight differences of the handwriting can show neurological and psychiatrical characteristics, which in the future can cause some ilnesses.Also experts says that more than 400 features of the handwriting can discover secret states of the person's spirit.

I believe that handwriting reflect some features of person character, because it developes for a long time and it is caused by many outside factors.I do not believe that from four or five types of handwriting you can say the right things about the person.But doing a full analize of the handwriting , I believe that you can discover many things about the person.

FEAR

Fear is a powerful, unpleasant feeling of risk or danger, either real or imagined. Fear is a defensive, survival advantage and it is ussually a response to a particular stimulus. For example, a person may see a spider and experience fear. An example of this may be something dangerous and spontaneous, during this situation the blood goes to big muscless ( like legs) allowing the person to run faster. Fear is related to a number of emotional states including worry, anxiety, terror, fright, paranoia, horror, panic (social and personal), persecution complex and dread. Paranoia is an ever- present feeling of suspicion that others cannot be trusted.Such feelings are not based on facts or reality. Insecurity and low self- esteem often exaggerate these emotions.Typically, paranoia is not seen in children, but in most cases it begins to develope in late adolescence and early adulthood. Most people experience feelings of paranoia, usually in response to a threatening situation. There are many symptoms of paranoia such as aggression, alcohol abuse, aches, pain and so on. This disease usually have people, who suffer from anorexia, drug abuse, alcohol abuse and so on.

It is normal to have a fear, but if it's fear based on symptoms like aggression, constant worry or fright, then people have to apply for the help of psychologist.

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF LAUGHTER

Laughter is almost uncontrollable. This is manifested in young people, especially children. Psychologist says that laughter, smiling, and grinning are the external manifestations of the play instinct. So we may, therefore, lay down the law that all unrestrained spontaneous activities of normal functions give rise to the emotion of joy with its expression of smiles and laughter. A number of objects may give rise to the emotion of joy, smile and laughter. What is common to all these objects is the fact that they all belong to the class of playthings. This we can easily observe in the case of little children who laugh and jump with joy when they keep on playing with their toys. Adult life is not in any way different: adults laugh and are amused with their toys, but the toys are more disguised and far more complex. We must have our toys and our playthings to amuse us and to make us laugh. The character of toys, however, changes with the nation, age, and environment. The character of the plaything also changes with the age of the individual.
A man in high spirits, though he may not actually smile, commonly exhibits some tendency to the retraction of the corners of his mouth. From the excitement of pleasure the circulation becomes more rapid; the eyes are bright, and the color of the face rises. The brain, becoming stimulated by the increased flow of blood, reacts on the mental powers; lively ideas pass still more rapidly through the mind, and the affections are warmed. Laughter is frequently employed in a forced manner to conceal or mask some other state of mind, even anger. We often see persons laughing in order to conceal their shame or shyness. We can see it when a person purses up his mouth, as if to prevent the possibility of smile, though there is nothing to excite one. Also we can see objection between the laughter or smile and the body language.
It’s hard to believe, but every Monday evening about 10 people gather at Better Health Chiropractic in New York City to laugh about absolutely nothing. Members stand in a circle while a certified instructor leads the group in some 20 different laughs.
One prescribed chuckle is the "broken vase" laugh. The leader pretends to drop an imaginary vase on the floor and then lets out a distinctive snicker. The group then performs the exercise together.
The point is to "laugh without reason," which they believe is good for their health. In the clubs, humor plays little role in initiating the laughter, although participants report that watching another person giggle is in itself pretty funny.
Today, laughter clubs can be found at U.S. elementary schools, churches, hospitals and military bases, although no studies have been performed to test whether forced laughter is effective.
If we remember the James- Lange theory then we can say that we feel happy because we laugh. So keep a smile and laugh because the life will seem brighter and the mood will be better.

CONFLICTS

Conflict is a state of opposition, disagreement between two or more people or groups of people, which is sometimes characterized by physical violence. Military conflict between states may constitute war.
There are many types of conflicts, but mostly we faced with conflicts between people. From psychological side conflicts can be caused by a role cunfusion. For example if you are the student you behave with your lecturers like all students. You don't behave with them like with your sister or brother, you don't say "go out" or "shut up" to your lecturers because a person know his limits. But when a person confuse his or her role then it can cause a conflict.
Also, the reason of conflict can be in own person. If people are stressed or have many problems they are more nerwous and can burn like matches and develope conflicts.
Moreover, conflicts can be between two people or a group who has a firm ego. If there are one person with firm ego and other person doesn't have a firm ego then psychologically stronger person will affect other person to his side, but if there are two people with firm ego, the conflict can develope into very strong conflict or physical violence.
It depends also on person morality norms, experience and other aspects. As we know, firstly we have to think over and then do.
There can be many reasons and explanations about the conflicts and their rise. So that was just a little part.

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

Emotional literacy is the ability express feelings with specific feeling words, in 3 word sentences. For example, "I feel rejected". If you are interested in working on your emotional literacy, the first step is to start using simple, three word sentences such as these:
I feel sad. I feel motivated. I feel offended. I feel appreciated. I feel hurt. I feel disrespected.
This may feel strange at first, since not many people do this. But it gets easier with time, and as you find other people who you can share your true feelings with.
Here are some of the basic human emotional needs expressed as feelings. While all humans share these needs, each differs in the strength of the need, just as some of us need more water, more food or more sleep. One person may need more freedom and independence, another may need more security and social connections. One may have a greater curiosity and a greater need for understanding, while another is content to accept whatever is told to him. I have found the 10 essential emotional needs:
1) Security — safe territory and an environment which allows us to develop fully.
2) Attention (to give and receive it) — a form of nutrition
3) Sense of autonomy and control — having volition to make responsible choices
4) Being emotionally connected to others
5) Feeling part of a wider community
6) Friendship, intimacy — to know that at least one other person accepts us totally for who we are.
7) Privacy — opportunity to reflect and consolidate experience
8) Sense of status within social groupings
9) Sense of competence and achievement
10) Having meaning and purpose — which comes from being stretched in what we do and think.
Also I have done an emotional test. I got 120 score, it's 91%. My emotional intelligence is good.People who score like I do feel that they have little trouble understanding and dealing with their own emotions and those of others. They generally are able to overcome difficulties in their lives and they are able to control their moods in all but the most trying of times. It’s easy for them to motivate themselves to overcome obstacles and reach their goals. In addition, they find social interactions to be quite easy and fulfilling, for several reasons. They are comfortable allowing themselves to get close with others, and feel comfortable being vulnerable enough to establish intimacy. They also report having an easy time offering support to others; this is likely due to an empathetic nature and a clear mind when it comes to offering good advice.
I think that this test is really interesting and quite right, because I think that everything is true what is written about people who have good emotional intelligence and it fits to me.

PSYCHOLOGY

My profession is psychology. I have never thought that I will study psychology, because I enter to this speciality unexpectible.But this speciality become more and more popular. Psychology is very intersting subject, you gain knowledges about people character, personality, problems and what is more you learn how to communicate with people. I remember what one of my friends told me when I said that I am going to study psychology: he said that it was his dream and you can work in many specialities, because you know how to communicate and how to "turn people to you side" if you need that.Now It's much more easier to know personality and to see if he or she is kind and say true to me.
There are many kinds of psychology. For this day I will choose the business psychology...But as I say you never know what will be later..maybe my opinion will choose. I expect that I graduate university and become a good psychology.I know that you have to interest in this subject read many books, magazines and also try to hear as much as I can at lessons.

QUEUE PSYCHOLOGY

A queue is a waiting line. And nowadays queues are very big problem. You can see queues in the supermarkets, airports, toll booths and so on. As you know if you live in a big city your time always is doubled, because half of your day time you spend in the queues. There is some ways how to choose the quickest queue at the supermarket. Choose a queue which is on the outside. The queue that is surrounded by queues can be jumped onto from each side - but a queue on the end can be jumped onto only from one side. Psychologists find that, as the number of people behind increases, the consumer is in a relatively more positive affective state. For example, when people have to wait at the restaurant, waiter can turn the waiting area into a bar, which also adds to revenue as well as occupying time. Nearly everyone has had the experience of choosing a line at the supermarket or airport, and stood there worrying that he had, indeed, chosen the wrong line. As one stands there trying to decide whether to move, the anxiety level increases and the wait becomes intolerable. This situation is covered by what is known as Erma Bombeck’s Law:
“The other line always moves faster.”
Also psychologists find that uncertain waits are loger than known. For example, clients who arrive early for an appointment will sit contentedly until the scheduled time, even if this is a significant amount of time in an absolute sense. However, once the appointment time is passed, even a short wait of, say, ten minutes, grows increasingly annoying.
So, to sum up, I can say that psychologist, supermarkets, banks owners and other, should try to devise new ways how to reduce people anxiety, when they have to queue.
