Psychology..

[Root beer]

I got write a paper for psychology. We can pick any psychology related topics for our paper. I wanted write about something that I would enjoy, like financial behavior. The closest thought I have to a thesis is, "**** Economicus does not exist, therefore, the majority of the traders trade securities with irrational thoughts." In another word, I'm proving the majority of the traders are trading without critical or cognitive thinking. I can point out past market bubbles that are result of irrational trading, (internet bubble anyone?) but I'm not sure if it be good enough paper for psychology class.

Anyone have any ideas for thesis related to this topic?

I would suggest writing a psychological analysis of what you have against the word "to".  :;D

Just kidding, the spirit of Long Mike got in me!

Why not analyze the "herd mentality" for explaining financial decisions leading to past bubbles in the financial and real estate markets?  A psychological thriller if you ask me.

Lots of studies have recently been done on depression and the rise in mental health issues since the countries financial collapse. Would make an easy paper.

Why not just write a paper with your own thoughts and research and be judged on the merit of your own creativity, isn't that what higher education is about?

Has this been written about before? Have you found any evidence that can be used to support your thesis? Be careful about coming to a conclusion before doing any research. Even if your first hypothesis is correct, sometimes it can influence your research if you approach it with an answer already in mind. Don't forget to search for information that could possibly disprove your argument. If it is out there, explain why it's wrong.

It doesn't feel that way.

Not exactly. If it has, I haven't read it. And there plenty of evidence to support it. I talked my psychology professor he was going think on it and get back to me. I'm probably going to end up doing a paper on what happens to human brain when gamblers and investors win and lose. That is kind of paper my professor is looking for. Keep in mind, this is intro to psychology. Only reason I took this class, is well I'm not taking political science, I don't get along with those people. ;D

Sirnookalot, undergraduate study isn't exactly "creative." You just basically research something already published and put it in your own words then cite the source. Beside, psychology isn't my major. I have B- in the class, but I'm not trying break new ground in psychology research. This research paper is more of writing about what we already (supposedly) learned in this class. For instance, when a man fish, then catches a fish, his autonomic nervous system is making his heart rate go up. Just bullcraps like that. But graduate study is another story..

It depends on what you study. I wrote my senior thesis on why the Czech Republic and Slovakia have different patterns of human trafficking despite their relatively similar characteristics. The State Department and UN's offices that deal with human trafficking had no information about that type of thing.

You should write your paper on cause and effect of impulse buying( The Bait Monkey ). You could get alot of input from managers at any retail store, and use professional, and subjective answers all about it.
