What are some everyday exercises that i can do as an aspiring social psychologist?
Answer:
The power of quiet observation is the Social Psychologist's greatest skill. Look, observe, write down group behaviors in as non-judgemental of a way as possible.
Try to specialize on a group that has your interest or passion. Stay objective.human beings are a completed species.
Of course, go to college if you haven't already enrolled or graduated.
At the least, get a job in marketing. Marketing is based upon observing and studying a group of people, and then designing communicating plans that appeal and hopefully motivate that group to act on a company's product or service.
Go to college
Troll the hell out of online forums. Push people's buttons and watch how they react as a group.
1 on 1 is more psychologist. You should learn to be an avid listener. Give feedback to be sure you heard correctly. Get good at expressing yourself in writing.
There are many ways to learn. If I were starting at the beginning I would go to the library and find books about Sigmund Freud the father of psychiatry and learn as much as you can about what he did, how he did it and the results he achieved. When you think you know him well then branch out into other areas like therapies and therapists, intelligence, transactional analysis, genetics, mental health laws and confidentiality. In this world there are many ways to satisfy your curiosity and improve your mind. It can be a do-it-yourself world for you and maybe you will decide you are interested in one part far more than another. Or maybe you change your mind about the whole thing and find something totally different. On a do-it-yourself basis the one thing you will really miss is the degree you need to practice in the field. If you go to college for the degree well prepared by your own efforts college can be much easier and more fun. Whatever you do, be the very best you can be. Good luck!
