Developmental psychology begins at fetal development and ends with death. It's the study of how humans change and transform throughout life, including what we think, how we feel, the actions we take, and why we take them. This branch of psychology gives us great insight into topics such as how serial killers are formed and whether great achievers are born to excel or if they're raised that way. Is it someone's nature to be a criminal? Or did childhood trauma mold them into who they've become?

A career that explores developmental psychology can be fascinating for someone who enjoys finding answers to obscure questions. And if you have a researcher's mind, you may find this field highly satisfying. This is also an interesting subject for students who plan to become teachers, because it gives an insight into how children develop as they age and how early circumstances help influence growth and accomplishment. The revelations this field has brought humanity are wide and far-reaching. These are only a few of the cool psychology facts we now know, thanks to the study of developmental psychology:

Children who bond early in a healthy way with a parent or parents have better stress-management skills later in life.
Childhood abuse and neglect have direct ties to impaired brain and cognitive development.
While children who are exposed to childhood violence may have more problems as adults, they're not automatically doomed to become abusers themselves.
Healthy relationships play a bigger role in resilience, or the ability to rise above a traumatic childhood, than does independent determination.
Childhood development is interactive, and scientists think healthy, loving relationships are more impactful than genetics on who a person becomes.

I Got Chills They're Multiplying!

I'm sure like most people you will have experienced that amazing buzz when listening to a particular song or piece of music? A tune so good or emotionally arousing, that it gives you goosebumps and makes your hair stand on end. Well, it turns out that these musical frissons like other happiness inducing experiences (s*x, drugs, and food) are as a result of a dopamine rush.

Dopamine is a chemical neurotransmitter that helps regulate the reward and pleasure centers in the brain. A reinforcement and motivation stimulus, dopamine plays a very important role in our biological survival. Strikingly, therefore, given that music listening is not essential for human survival; dopamine release in this context serves to demonstrate the remarkable human ability to derive pleasure from abstract concepts such as music and art.

What is Music Psychology?

There are lots of fascinating types of psychology but the psychology of music rocks! According to Richard Parncutt, Professor of Systematic Musicology at the University of Graz, music psychology investigates why humans spend so much time, effort and money on musical activities. This investigation combines the academic study of music (musicology) with the academic study of human individuals (psychology). Areas of psychology frequently drawn upon within the psychology of music include biopsychology, perception, cognition, creativity, motivation and emotion.

Professor Parncutt notes that the topic areas explored by music psychologists include, music rituals and gatherings, skills and processes involved in learning a musical instrument, the role of music in forming personal and group identities, everyday music listening and responding emotionally to music. And it is research into the last two topics (everyday music listening and responding emotionally to music) which have highlighted some incredibly interesting things that we can all relate to.
