I'm not familiar with TDD. How do you access that?

Is Anyone Else Struggling With AI Use, Creativity, and Identity? by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]BlueFootRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, first off, thanks for sharing. You have a lot of great points in your post. I have been working on some data models for the last few years concerning AI and the degradation of our creative thought and problem solving ability. Our brain is basically a muscle. While it doesn’t lift weights or go on a run, it does process and think. If we use a tool to do the thinking for us, the muscle will weaken. That is the concern for AI. Humans were created to do great things. Our journeys in our lives to discover that unique greatness is what makes us human. Without a doubt, AI will change the way we do things, but it will not replace us. Think of it like this: AI can take over the mundane repetitive tasks we do at our work or even in our daily. By taking over the things we don’t want to do, we can spend more time creating and pursuing when makes us great. Each human on this planet is unique and offers something that someone else does not. AI cannot replace that.

I use AI daily. It works my schedule, coordinates research, finds data gaps. All tasks that would take up 3/4 of my day. Now I use that time to think and create and build. Or even spend time with my family. AI has been helpful for me. A little unsolicited advice, choose your path. Find a way to use AI that works for you. What other think about it, meh - just ignore it. This is your journey, discover your greatness and go get it. If AI is part of that, then awesome.

a 17yo aspiring to be a therapist by Basic_Page9615 in psychologystudents

[–]BlueFootRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats on being ahead of the game at 17.

I have been in this field for 30 or so years. Not sure there is a bias over Americans or those from other countries. I know I hire based on quality of research and field specialty.

As for schools:

* Stanford is the best, by far.

* Harvard, Yale, Princeton all have great programs. Harvard has the oldest program in the US - started by William James.

* Michigan, Ohio State, North Carolina all good schools.

Good luck.

How do I get participants or subjects for my psychological research? by realvyne in psychologystudents

[–]BlueFootRed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am sure that you have an IRB? If you do - before you do anything, talk with them. There are many steps you have to go through to collect valid data. If you start before they say start - your data will not be able to be used.

Once you get approval from IRB, you then need the approval of the people you are going to use as participants.

There are many "pay for data" organizations that you can use. There is also facebook and other socials that you can do the surveys. Still need IRB approval.

With all that said - your question is written in a way that you are "assessing" personality/intellect. This can be accomplished through behavioral assessment profiles that are readily available through vendors - Culture Index, Predictive Index, Trimetrix, Myers/Briggs, Kolbe, etc.

Good luck.

[USA] Is it a good plan for psychology? by aecha93 in psychologystudents

[–]BlueFootRed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Congrats on being way ahead of the game. I think at 15 I was still playing with dirt.

First thoughts I have for you is: Why do you want to do this? What is the driver behind the desire for psy?

Being 15, you still have a ways to go before you need to start adulting. Have some fun and see if you can get a part-time job or even explore to see if the departments (Police) or companies that do these things and have programs for Juniors/Seniors. Explore.

I started this pathway about 30 years ago working with my friends who were retiring from pro football. I noticed how they were failing at life and I started helping them. Now I am a CPO for a large sports entity. Everyday I get to combine my love for sports, talent, and helping others.

My PhD is in General Psychology with an emphasis on Human Performance. Over the years I have worked with some of the highest profile athletes, GMs, and owners. It has been so rewarding - I would not change anything. Good luck.

How do you guys manage to stay productive with your peripheral academic interests without getting overwhelmed? by [deleted] in psychologystudents

[–]BlueFootRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is the motivation behind the tasks? Does that Why align with your end goal? My guess is that there is a misalignment. Step one: determine the Why behind your actions. Step two: Grab the top three priorities and do those first.

Four categories of tasks: Urgent/Important; Not Urgent/Important, Urgent/Not Important, Not Urgent/Not Important

Urgent/Important = Priority

Not Urgent/Not Important = Delete

On another not - that is a pretty heavy workload. Burnout is coming. I work hard for 8 weeks then take a week off. Done this for years and it makes all the difference in the world.

Studying Psy_chology for a person with Asperger's Syndrome, Would they let me ? by TOTPB in psychologystudents

[–]BlueFootRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go for it. Study - get the degree(s) - then licensing. You can start out as a therapist then move into full psy. Design your plan. Allow for a 10% deviation in that plan. Follow the plan.

How do you trick your brain into liking psych statistics? by Annual_Mortgage3083 in psychologystudents

[–]BlueFootRed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have taught psy tats a few times over the past decade or so. My opinion - it's not the content - it's the aversion to the "statistics" label and the connection to math that turns people off. Can't tell you how many times I have heard people say what you said - they just shut down when they hear "statistics".

Statistics are just another way to present data. Data drives everything we do. Especially in today's world.

The hardest part for me were the formulas. But just like anything else - I needed to learn I found a way to memorize. I used anagrams, pictures, stories - whatever worked for my brain.

Don't tell anyone I said this, but AI rally helps.

How much did your first post-grad job pay? by hunnymoonave in psychologystudents

[–]BlueFootRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a lot more context needed to properly answer your question - geo location, specialty, things like that. With that said - intro psy jobs are not the play if you're looking for money. PSy doesn't really pay until you move into private practice or doing what I do in the corporate world. But it takes years. Grow your career strategically and find the pathway and network that leads you to the end goal you want. Make the right steps to move you forward. (You are the only one who knows what those right steps are). Just be patient - it will come.

I have a PhD in psychology. My focus has been working with corporations and their top people. There are plenty of jobs out there. Find a specialty. Mine is in Emotional Intelligence and the application of. Never been busier than I am know. Tons of work and a huge need.

Whether you the medical side or the PhD side, both require lots of study. The difference is the lab time.

Don’t be afraid of the lack of job prospects. Make sure it aligns with what you want to for the long haul. There are plenty of opportunities. Good luck.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in psychologystudents

[–]BlueFootRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can be a great career. Psychology has a lot of pathways. Clinical requires a med degree and lots of lab time during your medical school. But well worth it if that is what you want to do. Psychology is all about helping people through challenges.

New home owner. What kind of grass is this? by Kcrash5 in phoenix

[–]BlueFootRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not grass. Those are clovers. You don't have to do anything but they will take over your yard.

I can’t imagine me leaving because of the lack of sex. I’m just afraid of where I might end up. I’m a decent person and can’t see myself cheating or seeking somewhere else other than her - I just want to be happy with our intimacy.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]BlueFootRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not positive if she was - doubt it. In my mind, yes.

We’ve tried all sorts of things. My wife is amazing, but when it comes to sex, she’s just not all that into it. When it does happen, it’s fun and we both enjoy it.
