NLP Not to be confused with Natural language processing (also NLP) Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is an approach to communication, personal development, and psychotherapy created by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in California, United States in the 1970s. Its creators claim a connection between the neurological processes ("neuro"), language ("linguistic") and behavioral patterns learned through experience ("programming") and that these can be changed to achieve specific goals in life.[1][2] Bandler and Grinder claim that the skills of exceptional people can be "modeled" using NLP methodology, then those skills can be acquired by anyone.[3][4][5][6][7] Bandler and Grinder also claim that NLP can treat problems such as phobias, depression, habit disorder, psychosomatic illnesses, myopia,[8] allergy, common cold,[9] and learning disorders, often in a single session.[10][11][12][13] NLP has been adopted by some hypnotherapists and in seminars marketed to business and government.[14][15]
3 Insights From The Frontiers Of Positive Psychology By Elise Proulx, Greater Good Science Center Fifteen years after emerging as a major scientific movement, it’s clear that positive psychology -- the study of what brings happiness and meaning in life -- is not just a fad. The field is reaching new levels of breadth and depth: Having established its core themes and principles during its first decade, it is now getting deeper and more precise in its exploration of what it takes to truly flourish in life. The growth of positive psychology was evident last month at the International Positive Psychology Association’s (IPPA) third bi-annual World Congress on Positive Psychology in downtown Los Angeles. A truly international crowd gathered for four days of workshops and symposia on everything from neuroplasticity and mindfulness to positive organizations and positive psychology in film. As Vallerand suggests, the leaders of positive psychology have always prided themselves on delivering scientific findings with clear practical applications. 1.
Flow (psychology) Concentrating on a task is one aspect of flow. In positive psychology, flow, also known colloquially as being in the zone, is the mental state of operation in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity. In essence, flow is characterized by complete absorption in what one does, and a resulting loss in one's sense of space and time. Flow shares many characteristics with hyperfocus. Just as with the conditions listed above, these conditions can be independent of one another. Ideas similar to flow have been recognized throughout history and across cultures. Flow theory postulates three conditions that have to be met to achieve a flow state: Schaffer (2013) proposed 7 flow conditions: Young child, painting a model If the operator is receiving data at too slow a rate, he is likely to become bored and attend to other irrelevant data. Flow may occur in challenging sports such as eventing.
Violinist in the Metro - Interesting Discoveries - Ego Dialogues - StumbleUpon This is an incredibly sad story which gave me chills. It is a social experiment about perception, taste and priorities of people. A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that thousands of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.Three minutes went by and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his schedule.A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping continued to walk.A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be:

Does a child die of hunger every 10 seconds? 17 June 2013Last updated at 20:48 ET By Ruth Alexander BBC News Every 15 seconds a child dies of hunger, says a campaign by charities urging G8 leaders to pledge more aid for the world's poorest families - or every 10 seconds, according to the latest version of the slogan. But does this paint an accurate picture? There is enough food for everyone, but not everyone has enough food, says the Enough Food for Everyone If campaign. "In every minute of every day, four children die of hunger," intones the comedian Eddie Izzard in one of If's promotional videos, before the 15-second figure was updated to 10 seconds on 6 June. The stat is a variation on another, used seven years ago in the Make Poverty History campaign - when a host of celebrities from the world of music, cinema and fashion appeared on a video clicking their fingers at regular intervals. Stats about deaths occurring every few seconds have been around for years. Continue reading the main story Child hunger “Start Quote
The Ten Most Revealing Psych Experiments Psychology is the study of the human mind and mental processes in relation to human behaviors - human nature. Due to its subject matter, psychology is not considered a 'hard' science, even though psychologists do experiment and publish their findings in respected journals. Some of the experiments psychologists have conducted over the years reveal things about the way we humans think and behave that we might not want to embrace, but which can at least help keep us humble. That's something. 1. The Robbers Cave Experiment is a classic social psychology experiment conducted with two groups of 11-year old boys at a state park in Oklahoma, and demonstrates just how easily an exclusive group identity is adopted and how quickly the group can degenerate into prejudice and antagonism toward outsiders. Researcher Muzafer Sherif actually conducted a series of 3 experiments. 2. The prisoners rebelled on the second day, and the reaction of the guards was swift and brutal. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
世界が沸騰！ 年収が増える 「ポジティブ心理学」入門 - PRESIDENT - プレジデント 国家プロジェクトとして ポジティブ心理学を 導入している国もある ポジティブ心理学とは「よい人生」について科学的に探究し、その実現に向けて心理学的介入を試みていく学問だ。1998年に当時の米国心理学会会長でもあった米ペンシルベニア大学のM・セリグマン博士が創設した。 具体的には図1をご覧いただきたい。 しかしながら、社会には危機を管理するのと同時に繁栄を維持し、またさらなる繁栄を目指すという課題もあるはずだ。 ところで、ポジティブ心理学という名称については、ポジティブ思考（ポジティブシンキング）や幸せ研究といった触れ込みで耳にしたことのある方もおられると思う。 確かに、今日わが国で認知されているレベルでは、ポジティブ心理学と聞いて首を傾げるほうがむしろ健全な反応とも言えなくもない。 ポジティブ心理学はこのように今まさに順風満帆といった状況なのだが、当分野の急激な発展を支えるものに「幸福（ハッピネス）は売れる」といった安易な商業主義が色濃く絡んでいる、といった批判がある。 ポジティブ度が高い人は 高年収が多い!? それにしても「よい人生」の実現とは何とも抽象的で漠としたものではないかと思われる節もあるかもしれない。 私たちが「自分の人生はよい人生だ」と実感するときの心の状態とはどのようなものだろうか。 ここで、ポジティブ感情が年収などの社会的資源、寿命に代表される身体的資源を形成する力があることを証明した二つの調査結果を紹介する。 ポジティブ感情を高めることが個人のみならず組織のパフォーマンス向上にも有益であることを示したのは、心理学者で企業コンサルタントでもあるM・ロサダ博士だ。 ちなみにいずれの経営指標でも低い得点を見せた、全体の30％に相当する18のローパフォーマンスチームでは、ポジティブ感情比が1を割ってP：N＝約0.75：1（ちなみに離婚に至る夫婦の場合はP＝0.5）、そして経営指標の得点にばらつきが見られた残りの混合型チームにおいてはP：N＝約2：1という比率が算出された。 図4はロサダ博士がこのときの3タイプのパフォーマンスチームについて数学モデルを用いてグラフ化したものだ。 今回はほんの一例に留まったが、現在のポジティブ心理学研究は、不況下の個人と組織に対する取り組みに集中している。
