The reason I chose psychology as one of my top inquiries is because it is something that has always interested me and also because it is something that can go along with any of my 3 other topics. If I were to do either mental health, criminal law, or the effects of social media, it can tie in well and can give me an opportunity to learn about something else I like while also focusing on my main project. If I wanted to, I could also do an entirely separate project that focuses solely on this topic alone which I still would enjoy and think is super interesting.
If I were to just do a project alone on the topic of psychology I think I would want to create some sort of website that talks about the different aspects of the subject and why everyone's psychological makeup is slightly different. I think it's interesting how the smallest changes in someone's makeup can affect their lives and how they “decide” to live them. On the website I think it would be interesting to create a type of comparison showing a real life example of how different psychological makeup’s that are only the slightest bit different can create such a large impact on the life of a person. One other thing I would like to include is a page that just talks about the basics of psychology and the “key takeaways” of the website. I’m not sure what else I would like to do because I don’t know much about the topic but I think that is a good starting point for me.
This topic I think could fall under the mindful learner and effective communicator competencies. It would fall under mindful learner because the competency is all about recognizing feelings and emotions and how having a growth mindset is important. This is a different aspect of every person and I think bringing awareness to it will be easily found throughout the website. The competency of effective communicator would fall under this topic as well because of the fact that there is so much information that can be found and there's a lot to be shared but by doing so I need to make sure that I get my point across but I don’t overload the website with information because for the viewer it will become difficult to understand what is going on.
For this project, I don’t think that any sort of interview would be necessary. If I’m just sharing basic information and creating my own comparisons I think that I could do that by myself and I wouldn’t need someone's help with it. Although it might be nice to talk to some sort of psychologist that isn’t my main focus right now.
When considering deadlines for this project I’m not 100% sure how I would want to go about it. Because of the fact that I don’t know how much information I’m going to collect and what different topics I would like to focus on I think I would just have to create weekly deadlines for myself as I go along throughout the project if that makes any sense.
Finally the way I think I would like to share my project is through social media. I believe that most people our age use social media almost everyday and if they are going to find information on new things and what to look at, it is going to be on a platform such as Instagram. For showing my website updates I was thinking of having a section on my homepage that says something like “website last update on _______” so whoever is viewing can know if there is going to be more information since they last looked at my website or not.
