Things that can influence or form a human

What can influence or form a human? What will effect their emotions and actions?

What I believe influences and forms human behavior the most is the people around them. For example, if someone looks happy, you will follow their lead and feel happier. If someone looks sad or upset, you will feel the same way. It all depends on who the person is and how you feel about them, because if it is someone you hate, you will feel happy when they are upset. But if someone you like feels unhappy, you will also feel sympathy and unhappy. Another thing that can affect a human is the weather. Say it is a rainy day, you would feel gloomy and ill, because of the greyness outside affecting your perspective of life. On the contrary, if it is nice and sunny outside, you might feel excited, energetic, or happy when you wake up. Feeling ready to tackle the obstacles and the day ahead is something that a sunny day might help you feel. Wanting to exercise or go outside is not something you would necessarily feel when it is raining and grey outside, which I feel proves my point even more. Other life forms such as plants and animals could also affect a person. Say you have a dog, and they are close to you, wanting to play and are feeling good, that can affect your mood. On the other hand, say you have a plant in the house and the leaves are starting to turn brown and it is starting to wither, you might feel unpleasant after, and it can affect your mood.  

 

This interests me because I want to understand the human brain and how the emotional side of it is effected and how it can change their behavior. I would am interested because I want to change my life for the better on the emotional side, so that I can feel better and have a more positive vision of life.

  1. Hello!

    This is such an interesting topic, and I love how it relates to psychology! Human beings are so fascinating, and it’s crazy how small things such as the weather can influence how we are feeling and change our emotions! For your future research, maybe you could talk about things humans can do on purpose to make them feel better/worse? For example, the way that listening to music or exercising can make humans feel!

    Here are some resources that may help you in the future:

  2. Hello Sarang,
    I really like your topic and the fact that you are already quite knowledgeable on your topic.The connections you made between human emotions and our settings are very interesting and something that i often think about, just how easily my mood and how i act is affected by my surroundings.I think it could be interesting to research how our social conditions affect our mood and how we act. I look forward to reading your future blog posts!Here are some links that could be helpful.
