color psychology of blue: Psychology of Color IntroBooks Team, 2019-12-04 The emergence of color psychology as a subject is considered to be one of the newest branches in psychology. Color Psychology is defined as the science or the study of the effects that colors tend to have over the moods, behaviors or feelings of the people. Color psychology is used in various fields because of the effects that colors tend to have over different determinants of human behavior. Color Psychology is considered to be a part of modern psychology. Colors help in determining the various unclear perceptions. There is no direct relation between the perception and color however they greatly complement each other. Colors help in improvising the effectiveness of the placebos. Color Psychology is widely used in the field of marketing and branding. The big companies and business consider color as an important part of their marketing strategy due to the fact that the colors of their products, goods, and services highly affect the perceptions and emotions of their customers which as a result determines the purchase rates of the products, goods or services. Colors have been used for treating the illnesses of the people which is known as Chromotherapy. Colors also affect the performing ability of an individual. A relation exists between the color and the time. Hence, it can be said that the color psychology is used in diverse fields and constitutes an important part of our lives. |

color psychology of blue: Color Psychology and Color Therapy Faber Birren, 2013-11 2013 Reprint of 1950 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. American writer Faber Birren devoted his life to color and it's effects on human life. After writing around 25 texts on the topic, it would be safe to say his work is considered highly among color experts and psychologists around the world. Birren's work has a strong focus on linking how humans perceive colors to how it makes them react. He writes, Good smelling colors are pink, lilac, orchid, cool green, aqua blue. Birren explores the work of several physicians, scientists and doctors, mainly the German psychoanalyst and physician Felix Deutsch, whose findings throw important light not only on medical practice with references to color but on the whole psychology of color. Birren states that if a person prefers warmer colors such as hues of red and oranges, they are likely to me more aware of their social environment. He labels these as warm color dominant subjects. On the other hand, those preferring cooler colous such as blues and greens, are categorized generally as cold color dominant subjects and are recognized as finding it challenging to adapt themselves to new environments and situations. By splitting people into separate categories, based on their color preferences, Birren finds himself able to establish a greater understanding of their personalities and characteristics. One experiment Birren explores in his text, courtesy of Kurt Goldstein, involves a subject standing before a black wall with his eyes shut and arms outstretched to touch the wall in front. When the subject is influenced by a warm color such as the color red, his arms deviate away from each other, whereas when under the influence of a cooler colour such as green or blue, even though the reaction is a subtle one, the subject will move his arms closer together. I find this experiment, simple as it is, to be fascinating in highlighting the strong effects colors have on our minds and bodies. As well as distinguishing the differences in peoples' character through his use of color psychology, Birren also touches on the effects colors can have on the mentally ill. This section was the most interesting and involved a series of complex experiments such as discovering which neurological disorders were linked to which colors. Courtesy of the work by Hans Huber, it was proven that patients suffering manic tendencies preferred the color red, a symbol of blood and anger. Hysterical patients were more sensitive to green, perhaps as an escape, the color linked to paranoid subjects was found to be brown and schizophrenics are sensitive to yellow. Birren states that persons troubled with nervous (neurotic) and mental (psychotic) disturbances are greatly affected by color and are responsive to it. Therefore color becomes much more significant to them, and affects them in a completely different way than those without such neurological disturbances. Chapter 12 Neurotics and Psychotics is the most compelling in the text as it relates to my dissertation topic. After struggling to find texts specific to my research subject, this text and its contents came as a welcomed discovery and I will be referring to Birren's work throughout my further research. |

color psychology of blue: Children's Dreams C. G. Jung, 2012-01-12 In the 1930s C. G. Jung embarked upon a bold investigation into childhood dreams as remembered by adults to better understand their significance to the lives of the dreamers. Jung presented his findings in a four-year seminar series at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. Children's Dreams marks their first publication in English, and fills a critical gap in Jung's collected works. Here we witness Jung the clinician more vividly than ever before--and he is witty, impatient, sometimes authoritarian, always wise and intellectually daring, but also a teacher who, though brilliant, could be vulnerable, uncertain, and humbled by life's great mysteries. These seminars represent the most penetrating account of Jung's insights into children's dreams and the psychology of childhood. At the same time they offer the best example of group supervision by Jung, presenting his most detailed and thorough exposition of Jungian dream analysis and providing a picture of how he taught others to interpret dreams. Presented here in an inspired English translation commissioned by the Philemon Foundation, these seminars reveal Jung as an impassioned educator in dialogue with his students and developing the practice of analytical psychology. An invaluable document of perhaps the most important psychologist of the twentieth century at work, this splendid volume is the fullest representation of Jung's views on the interpretation of children's dreams, and signals a new wave in the publication of Jung's collected works as well as a renaissance in contemporary Jung studies. |

color psychology of blue: How People Learn National Research Council, Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education, Board on Behavioral, Cognitive, and Sensory Sciences, Committee on Developments in the Science of Learning with additional material from the Committee on Learning Research and Educational Practice, 2000-08-11 First released in the Spring of 1999, How People Learn has been expanded to show how the theories and insights from the original book can translate into actions and practice, now making a real connection between classroom activities and learning behavior. This edition includes far-reaching suggestions for research that could increase the impact that classroom teaching has on actual learning. Like the original edition, this book offers exciting new research about the mind and the brain that provides answers to a number of compelling questions. When do infants begin to learn? How do experts learn and how is this different from non-experts? What can teachers and schools do-with curricula, classroom settings, and teaching methodsâ€to help children learn most effectively? New evidence from many branches of science has significantly added to our understanding of what it means to know, from the neural processes that occur during learning to the influence of culture on what people see and absorb. How People Learn examines these findings and their implications for what we teach, how we teach it, and how we assess what our children learn. The book uses exemplary teaching to illustrate how approaches based on what we now know result in in-depth learning. This new knowledge calls into question concepts and practices firmly entrenched in our current education system. Topics include: How learning actually changes the physical structure of the brain. How existing knowledge affects what people notice and how they learn. What the thought processes of experts tell us about how to teach. The amazing learning potential of infants. The relationship of classroom learning and everyday settings of community and workplace. Learning needs and opportunities for teachers. A realistic look at the role of technology in education. |

color psychology of blue: Biocentrism Robert Lanza, Bob Berman, 2010-02-02 Robert Lanza is one of the most respected scientists in the world — a US News & World Report cover story called him a “genius and a “renegade thinker, even likening him to Einstein. Lanza has teamed with Bob Berman, the most widely read astronomer in the world, to produce Biocentrism, a revolutionary new view of the universe. Every now and then a simple yet radical idea shakes the very foundations of knowledge. The startling discovery that the world was not flat challenged and ultimately changed the way people perceived themselves and their relationship with the world. For most humans of the 15th century, the notion of Earth as ball of rock was nonsense. The whole of Western, natural philosophy is undergoing a sea change again, increasingly being forced upon us by the experimental findings of quantum theory, and at the same time, towards doubt and uncertainty in the physical explanations of the universe's genesis and structure. Biocentrism completes this shift in worldview, turning the planet upside down again with the revolutionary view that life creates the universe instead of the other way around. In this paradigm, life is not an accidental byproduct of the laws of physics. Biocetnrism takes the reader on a seemingly improbable but ultimately inescapable journey through a foreign universe—our own—from the viewpoints of an acclaimed biologist and a leading astronomer. Switching perspective from physics to biology unlocks the cages in which Western science has unwittingly managed to confine itself. Biocentrism will shatter the reader's ideas of life--time and space, and even death. At the same time it will release us from the dull worldview of life being merely the activity of an admixture of carbon and a few other elements; it suggests the exhilarating possibility that life is fundamentally immortal. The 21st century is predicted to be the Century of Biology, a shift from the previous century dominated by physics. It seems fitting, then, to begin the century by turning the universe outside-in and unifying the foundations of science with a simple idea discovered by one of the leading life-scientists of our age. Biocentrism awakens in readers a new sense of possibility, and is full of so many shocking new perspectives that the reader will never see reality the same way again. |

Top 1% attorney, author and media personality Rebecca Zung shares her proven method for successfully negotiating anything in her latest book, Negotiate Like You MATTER: The Sure Fire Method to Step Up and Win provides powerful and easy steps you can take to level up your business and your life! Every single person wants to feel seen, heard, understood and know they MATTER. This is true in any human interaction, but in negotiations the stakes are higher. The outcome of a negotiation becomes an outward measurement of our value, and if you haven't done your internal growth work, then at the deepest, darkest level, a loss in negotiations feels like YOU are less, not just that you RECEIVED less. That risk of vulnerability is often not worth the potential gain. Using her years of experience in litigating divorces for the world's most powerful people, attorney Rebecca Zung shares, through easy to understand language and humorous stories, the exact steps to the secret of how to get what you want. A totally innovative approach to negotiation, she blends the worlds of self-help, quantum physics, and body language with all the more traditional negotiation skills, strategies, tactics and techniques. 80% of winning a negotiation happens before you even walk into the room. To properly prepare, you must move from your inside out. This means that you must start from dealing with your own internal dialogue and knowing you have value. Next, you move to the external preparations. This means doing the research, preparing the arguments, creating leverage, discovering pain points, determining the best and worst case scenarios, doing risk analysis, deciding where the negotiations should be, what to wear, and what your first offer will be. The final step is the actual negotiation itself. Here you must prepare for how to command the entire process by determining how to walk into the room, how to greet the other person, how to use powerful body language (and read the other side's), how to present your offer, how to use embedded commands and mirroring, and much more. The methodology in this book works no matter what field you are in, and regardless of how powerful the other side is. Throughout the book, you'll be given easy to remember mnemonics, catchy phrases, tools, resources and exercises, all to remember exactly what to do to win every negotiation, in any situation, every time - and have the other side be happy about it. Get ready to feel empowered, inspired and actually look forward to negotiating! |

color psychology of blue: Blue Michel Pastoureau, 2018-03 A beautifully illustrated visual and cultural history of the color blue throughout the ages Blue has had a long and topsy-turvy history in the Western world. The ancient Greeks scorned it as ugly and barbaric, but most Americans and Europeans now cite it as their favorite color. In this fascinating history, the renowned medievalist Michel Pastoureau traces the changing meanings of blue from its rare appearance in prehistoric art to its international ubiquity today. Any history of color is, above all, a social history. Pastoureau investigates how the ever-changing role of blue in society has been reflected in manuscripts, stained glass, heraldry, clothing, paintings, and popular culture. Beginning with the almost total absence of blue from ancient Western art and language, the story moves to medieval Europe. As people began to associate blue with the Virgin Mary, the color became a powerful element in church decoration and symbolism. Blue gained new favor as a royal color in the twelfth century and became a formidable political and military force during the French Revolution. As blue triumphed in the modern era, new shades were created and blue became the color of romance and the blues. Finally, Pastoureau follows blue into contemporary times, when military clothing gave way to the everyday uniform of blue jeans and blue became the universal and unifying color of the Earth as seen from space. Beautifully illustrated, Blue tells the intriguing story of our favorite color and the cultures that have hated it, loved it, and made it essential to some of our greatest works of art. |
