Experimental Research Methods - Understanding Psychology Series
We see a laboratory experiment on attraction in progress. Psychologists explain they are interested in whether the context in which we see someone influences our view of their attractiveness. Two groups of subjects look at the same set of pictures, but the environment is very different for each group. One group are well treated and make their selection in comfort, while participants in the other group are kept waiting and make their selection in a dank, noisy basement room. Will the different contexts influence their grading? In the process we see some of the benefits and drawbacks of the laboratory experiment as it happens.

Mental Disorders - Understanding Psychology Series
It's quite normal to feel worried or sad, but sometimes these feelings can take over us and the normal can become abnormal. We begin by introducing two case studies, Alison who has depression and Karen who has an anxiety disorder. We go on to explore the problematic idea of ‘abnormality’ and how mental disorders might be recognized and classified. The major part of the program is devoted to explaining, illustrating and analyzing three psychological perspectives on mental disorders: Mental Disorder as a Disease of the Body, a Disease of the Mind and as A Social Construction.

Non-Experimental Research Methods - Understanding Psychology Series
Most of us have cell phones. But little is yet known about the psychological effects of the cell phone. Is it changing the way we relate to each other and if so, is it for better or worse? How can psychologists research these questions? This program examines researching young people's use of cell phones with three different non-experimental methods. We see the research taking place which is inter-cut with the researchers explaining their methods and findings, young people's views on cell phones and expert analysis. The program is divided into three linked but self-standing sections: Questionnaire Surveys, Interviews, and Naturalistic Observation.

Perspectives on Psychology - Understanding Psychology Series

We then explore some of the areas where psychologists have looked for answers to these questions – in the human brain, the unconscious and the environment. The program is divided into three self-standing sections: The Biological Perspective, The Psychodynamic Approach, and the Behaviorist Approach.

Eating Disorders - The Critical Issues
Although food has never been more plentiful in developed countries, an apparently increasing number of young people don't want to eat, or want to get rid of what they've eaten as quickly as possible. Eating disorders now have one of the highest mortality rates of all psychiatric conditions. We begin with some brief case studies of anorectics and establish what psychologists mean by an eating disorder. This leads into exploring the main causes of eating disorders.

Tai Chi - 6 Forms, 6 Easy Lessons
Tai Chi: 6 Forms, 6 Easy Lessons moves at a steady and fluid pace that is accessible to all levels of fitness. The instructor, Dr. Paul Lam, condenses this practice into six lessons, taught with meticulous explanation and repetition. The constant recap of each form aids in creating an approachable and easy-to-follow learning environment. Each routine is added piece by piece, which makes comprehending the overall continuity easy. Although effective in practice, video instruction may not be ideal in theory because Tai Chi lacks the same calming effects when performed in front of the television set. But this method offers such practical and basic instruction that all levels will soon be doing Tai Chi in the atmosphere of their choice. Each of the segments can be put together to form a cohesive and continuous workout or performed separately if participants want to zero in on specific forms. In addition to Tai Chi, the DVD includes a 3-in-1 Qi Gong workout. Qi (or vital life energy) Gong is based on traditional Chinese medicine and acts as a complementary addition to the overall experience. This regimen is ideal for anyone who desires both a mentally and physically focused workout. Participants with compromised backs, joints, and muscles will find a safe and nonaggravating practice that can alleviate tension and increase flexibility and balance. Tai Chi: 6 Forms, 6 Easy Lessons extends a warm invitation to old and young alike with this safe and educational format. --Olivia Voigts
