Into the book
In psychology, hypotheses and theories about the mind can be very abstract.
But psychology theorizes the mind in concrete terms and finds ways to investigate it systematically.
Let's take an example from research on how we store objects or events we experience in our minds.
For example, one could consider two theories about whether it is stored in linguistic form or whether it is also possible to store images.
In other words, it is about whether it is stored as a digital code or an analog code.
--- p.18
The nervous system is the basis of everything a person thinks, feels, and does.
In a sense, the human being itself can be said to be a nervous system.
The basic unit of the nervous system is the nerve cell called a neuron.
These cells play a role in receiving, integrating, and transmitting information within the nervous system.
Although the activities of individual neurons are very simple, within the nervous system, nerve cells are connected to numerous other nerve cells to form neural networks, and these neural networks form the basis of human thoughts, emotions, and behavior.
--- pp.45-46
Psychologists distinguish between primary and secondary emotions.
Primary emotions are innate and evolutionarily adaptive responses.
Therefore, primary emotions are not culturally specific but are biologically distinct.
These primary emotions include anger, fear, sadness, disgust, happiness, and surprise.
Secondary emotions are more complex because they are a mixture of primary emotions.
Emotions such as regret, guilt, obedience, shame, love, and jealousy are secondary emotions.
--- p.159
How can we understand an individual's personality? Understanding the diversity and complexity of personality is a challenging task.
Classification is a method commonly used by humans to understand diverse and complex phenomena in a simpler way.
It is to simplify a complex phenomenon into several chunks based on similarity.
Personality typology is a method of classifying various human personalities into several types and considering an individual as belonging to one of those personality types in order to understand that person's overall personality.
--- p.259
Mental disorders are often caused by a negative event in a person who was adapting to reality relatively well.
However, in contrast, there are cases where an individual's personality traits are so unique that they lead to a persistent maladaptive life.
When psychological characteristics that develop gradually from childhood and become fixed as an individual's personality in adulthood show maladaptive aspects, it is called a personality disorder.
