I've always been interested in psychology, and last year, I took AP Psychology at my high school. I learned a lot.
Anyway, I was wondering, what fascinates you in psychology? Who are you favorite psychologists, and what are your favorite branches of psychology?
For me, I'm fascinated with memory, social engineering, manipulation/deception, development...well frankly, I'm fascinated by pretty much everything.
Some of my favorite psychologists are: Stanley Milgrim Sigmund Freud Solomon Asch Ivan Pavlov Philip Zimbardo
I dunno if any of you follow Zaunstar on Youtube, but his last two videos have involved psychology as a main point.
Note that this is not in the debate section, and I would like to keep it that way. I do encourage, however, making a new topic(s) in the debate section about psychology.

Well, I'm not really interested in any specific areas of psychology YET, but I start taking a class on it next semester, so we'll see. I think I'd be interested in things like dreams and the subconscious.
The videos are certainly interesting and thought provoking though. I subscribed.

Yea, I'm taking psychology next semester too, but it's just intro, pretty much the same general stuff I did in high school. I don't really know enough about psychology right now, I'm going to see if I'll be interested enough in doing a psych major. But I've thought about studying how people learn -- which will probably involve sociology to a degree -- because of my opinions on the public school systems. There should be no reason for them to be as ineffective as they currently are.
