1. Психология
Психология - это наука о поведении и разуме, включая сознательное и бессознательное, а также чувства и мысли. Как социальная наука, она направлена на понимание отдельных лиц и групп с помощью установления общих принципов и исследования конкретных случаев.
Психологи пытаются установить роль психических функций в индивидуальном и социальном поведении. Они исследуют поведение и психические процессы, включая восприятие, познание, внимание, эмоции (аффекты), интеллект, мотивацию, функционирование мозга и личность. Это распространяется на взаимодействие между людьми, например, межличностные отношения, включая психологическую устойчивость, семейную устойчивость и другие области. Психологи также рассматривают бессознательное.

Pushy Behavior May Be Harmful to the Heart
1. Dominant man is the one who interrupts conversations and feels compelled to be the center of attention. Such people die younger from heart disease than men who are more thoughtful and laid back, shows research out today.
2. The study is the first to define “social dominance” as a potential health risk factor. The trait is considered a component of the type A personality and is probably as toxic to the heart as being a hostile person, says psychologist Michael Babyak, Dike University, Medical Center, USA.
3. Socially dominant men are easy to spot. They monopolize conversation, interrupt people and are driven by insecurity to be on the top. They’re often considered as obnoxious and not well liked by their peers.
4. They differ significantly from those who have a healthy drive to succeed spurred by self-confidence and a desire for personal fulfillment. We are talking about a very specific needy dominance, a compulsion or drive always to be first and always to be in the limelight, says Babyak, who conducted the study at the University of Kansas.
5. The new findings are from the original type A personality research and involved the analysis of speech patterns of 750 white middle-class men.
6. Those with the dominant trait were 60% more likely to die of all causes, particularly heart disease, during the 22-year study period than the others. One possible reason: like hostile type A’s they stay juiced on their adrenaline, keeping their arteries bathed in stress hormones.
7. The men who were the most calm and thoughtful in their speech were the least likely to die during the study.
