The psychological research has indicated that the cause of every experience your physical and mental health, ability to form close relationships endurance, capacity for learning and personal growth.(Richard J.Gerrig & Philip G Zimbardo , 2008)All of these are related to our daily life. Though the psychological theories, we are able to learn ourselves by scientific explanation.Stress -ChangesHans Selye defines emphasise ass the nonspecific reaction of the body to any demand on it.the arousal ,both physical and mental ,to situation or event that we perceive as threatening or ch solelyenging. In our daily life, test might come from the on-set situation or off-set situation.( Hans Selye,2011) For example, even lecturer mentioned the date of exam, when the day is near ,I will feel very stress also. On the other hand, if lecturer sudden announces th at we are going to prolong pop-quiz immediately. With no doubt ,it will be the causes of my stress. As you can see, the root of stress is changes in life. Even the changes are kind of positive things. When I knew I was accepted by UCSI University, at the moment I was very happy. Latter on, entirely the possible situation come up in my mind. Am I able to adapt the new environment? Am I able to foreland all the subjects? We all wish to have smooth life, but these positive or negative changes are the challenges to our life.Sensory adaptationSensory adaptation is iterate or constant stimulation decreases the number of sensory messages sent to the brain ,which causes decreased sensation.(Living psychology )For example, the things happened at the moment after the PE class,all the students with sweating body go into the class room with air conditioning room.The body odor will full fill with the room gradually. People in the room might non aware of the smell, but when I came in the cla ss room , I complained the uncomfortable smell. After I stayed in the class for a while, my sensory was old-hat of the odor. Then I won complain the smell anymore.Controlled processThe controlled process is the mental activities requiring focused attention that generally interferes with other ongoing activities ( Huffan. K,1999.). Whenever I have performed on the stage, I have to concentrate on myself. Pay attention on what is the next step,what is the next posture .There is no time and strictly not allowed to think of other things such as how does audience response and how do judges score. Only until the end of performance I can think f these things.Automatic processAutomatic process is activities requiring minimal attention and having little impact on other activites.( Huffan,K ,1999).I have an experience that working at eating place cashier. The restaurant I worked has a cash machine .The first month of work was terrible. I was so scary to touch the button.It made me frustrated all the time. The amount of money numbers full of my mind .I dare not to count wrongly to companys property.Whenever I stand in bearing of cash machine I always sweating. All these thing I got though it after I worked there for eight months. Later on,I was not plainly can control the cash machine easily but also can talk to the customer in the same time.Gate-control theoryThe theory that the spinal cord contains a neurological gate the blocks inconvenience oneself signals from the brain when flooded by competing signals.(Saul Kassin,1995) Ex. Wearing high heels actually killing me so much, but the pain didnt bother us during I wear them out to show off my beautiful high heels. Another experience is monthly period. Whenever our Best paladin coming, it is a difficult time for girls. Most of the girls will not to focus on the pain instead of keep thinking the pain.ConclusionTo sum up, purpose myself by psychology theories is somehow interesting. Just discover the reasons that wh y is my behavior acting so. Describing by science method is more convictive. After learning the basic psychology, now I start to observe people surrounding in my life. Try to explain their behavior and discuss with my friends. I found myself can spacious people more than before. I can understand the people whose behavior are not accepted by me .Actually everyone has their different childhood background or genetic reasons. Learning psychology is not only learn the knowledge but also improve our self-development.ReferenceRichard J.Gerrig & Philip G Zimbardo .(2008).Psychology and life.(8th ed).
