One of the people I admire in my field is Barbara Fredrikson who was born on June 15, 1964 in the United States.


Barbara Fredrickson is a leading professor of social psychology, the study of emotion, and positive psychology, and her research and teachings have been recognized with numerous honors.

She is in the actually, Professor of Psychology and Principal Investigator in the Laboratory of Psychophysiology and Positive Emotions at the University of North Carolina.

Her research specifically focuses on positive emotions and their adaptive value. She developed the model of extension and construction to explain the role of positive emotions. She is the creator of an important theory called "Broaden and Build Theory of Positive Emotions"

I like her mainly because I like the area in which she focuses (on emotions), and that is an area of ​​psychology that interests me a lot and I feel that in that sense I can share a lot her way of thinking in addition, the research and theories that he created have made me very interesting.

Post 1: A country you would like to visit

O ne of the countries that I dream of visiting is Japan, it has always caught my attention because it is a country with a very different culture from mine and I love that and I also  I like the folkloric and mythological part of Japan. As far as I know Japan is a country that has a big number of people, tourist variety and is very advanced in the technology, it is a very traditional, conservative country and people are very respectful, it is also one of the countries in the world with more mythological folklore where there are many interesting legends. I would like to do many things in Japan, I would play video games, I would buy anime and manga, I would visit the great temples, I would love to dress like a geisha and I also I love their food and I would like to taste all of them. If I was given a good opportunity to live in Japan I would do it without thinking twice, I hope one day I could visit all those beautiful places and participate in those incredible festivities.

Post 7: CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

These are the aspects that I would change in the psychology career, I really like the subjects of the career, they are very necessary subjects for this career but they could improve the distribution of the subjects in the first two years of the career, it's a very big change and also a burden for someone who just got out of high school. Talking about the academic load, this is the one that I think is wrong according to the situation we are going through worldwide, the covid, the professors send a lot of work without considering that we have multiple subjects, this makes that we are constantly doing work or thinking about the university, we don't have much time left for us, so I think they should be more considerate in that sense. If we talk about the faculty, the truth is that I know it very little but I have heard that there are very small classrooms for the amount of students and on the other hand there are classrooms too big, so much so that the voice of the professor is not...
