Social Behaviour and the Iceberg

A bit different than my other videos. This is a simplified version of my thoughts on how we approach understanding behaviours and how stepping back in a situation can help to bring perspective.

NOTE: I when I saved the file, I didn't realize that I had 30 seconds of black screen. So you can ignore the last bit after my usual closing image.

Thanks for your comment, Sam. Psychology is definitely a fun subject cause we get to delve into our own and other people's minds. It can be messy and exciting at the same time. :-)

Very nice video, Ken. Great analogy and a nice introspection about the inability to accept compliments! That little bit that we see of an individual's personality certainly can lead to snap judgments..only as we learn more can we appreciate the depth of the well- springs of behavior. Our mobile society seems to compound the behavior, for so much is judged on appearance, and why should anyone reveal anything important about themselves to someone who probably will not be around in a month or day!

"why should anyone reveal anything important about themselves to someone who probably will not be around in a month or day!"

You inspired me to answer your non-question, directed at anyone:

"To show that each connection we make with another person, despite length of time, can be just as valid and meaningful as the next. The "reveal" doesn't need to be a persons spoken history but as simple as an action shared."

It really makes me wonder what people are actually thinking when I talk to them. I always assume they feel the way I do when people talk to me... I guess it's different for everyone, ne?

Hey Ken, I am from England and I took psychology as one of my four subjects for my A levels. Later on in the year I will be studying the work of Freud (the pioneer of the ice burg theory) in my psychodynamic approach to Psychology, he views the top of the ice burg as the conscious mind and the part of the ice burg below the water the un-conscious mind, Freud states that many important influences on our behaviour come from the part of the mind we have no direct awareness of, the unconscious.

That may be so, but without a continuity of communication, the person is left puzzled by the silence. You tube seems to be designed for people darting in and out of our lives.
