The traditional intelligence test could measure only the cognitive aspect of one’s mental ability, but many psychologists like Gardner (1983) proposed that there are many forms of non-cognitive intelligence that affect our behaviour. He further noted that one’s intelligence quotient or IQ cannot explain cognitive ability fully. In the early 1990’s, John Mayer and Peter Salovey introduced and defined one of the most important non-cognitive intelligence: Emotional Intelligence (EI). In the Handbook of Intelligence (2000) they defined emotional intelligence (EI)  as “the ability to perceive and express emotion, assimilate emotion in thought, understand and reason with emotion, and regulate emotion in the self and others” (Mayer, Salovey, & Caruso, 2000, p. 396; see also Mayer & Salovey, 1997). Although Mayer and Salovey were responsible for introducing this term (EI) to the world of psychology it was Goleman’s (1995) bestselling book Emotional Intelligence:  Mayer and Sal...

SPEARMAN THEORIES OF INTELLIGENCE Charles Spearman’s theory of intelligence is known as the two-factor theory. Spearman noticed that children who perform well in one subject tend to have good marks in other subjects also. This observation led him to propose that there is a common factor which affect all of your activities. Using a statistical method called as “factor analysis”, he proposed that all cognitive activity or mental activity consist of two factors namely, “general” or “g” factor and “specific” or “s” factor. So, your intelligence is a sum of “g” factor and “s” factor. The “g” factor affects all kind of mental activities whereas; “s” factor influences your performance on specific or particular mental activity. Further, “g” factor is innate, and constant throughout one’s life, present in all cognitive activities. Whereas “s” factor is learned and varies with the task within the same individual, one can have many “s” factors and, it is associated with the only specific task. Pe...

How social media became a tool for Arab Spring?  The „Arab Spring‟ is a term used to define pro-democracy protests and rebellious actions the public took against their government. It started back in 2010 in Tunisia (Africa), when one street vendor named Sidi Bouazizi, set himself on fire when an official confiscated his vegetable cart and went on to humiliate him in public. The poor vendor‟s „mistake‟ was that he refused to pay bribes to the police. He set himself on fire and the whole country felt the jitters of pain, from which emerged a revolution that the Bouazizi incident Media and Psychology 40 An Introduction to Psychology and Media 40 sparked. This was labelled Jasmine revolution. The public was already aware of the rampant corruption, nepotism, election manipulation, and oppression. However, it seems, in retrospect, people were just waiting for an event that would surpass their limit of tolerance. The selfimmolation of Bouazizi stirred the public, who then was...

 Media Psychology Purview. As is evident, media psychology is the interface between media and technology, with human beings, their responses and behaviour. There is a reciprocal relationship between the two. As a sub-discipline in psychology, media psychology uses the theories, conceptual frameworks and research methods of psychology to examine the impact of mass media on individuals, groups, societies and cultures. : A whole system model of Media Psychology (Rutledge, 2010) According to Rutledge (2010) media psychology takes into consideration the whole system, which is a continual loop consisting of technological developments (i-pads and tablets), production of content (books, news, music), perception and consumption of that content (listening to music of choice or availability of news 24X7) and response of the consumer (internet addiction). Each of these components coexist, interact and coevolve with each other.  

DEFINITION AND CONCEPT OF SOCIAL MEDIA   Social Media initially became a possibility because of the internet, but its presence soon became a major reason why people wanted to surf the internet.  The first social media to surface was known as “Six Degrees” , which was launched in the year 1997. It allowed people to create their own profile and also add others into theirs.  More images SixDegrees.com Social networking service A few years later, in 2002 emerged „ Friendster‟,  which allowed the users to upload images, videos, and even comment on their personal network‟s profiles.    http://www.friendster.com , Sounds similar to Facebook, doesn‟t it? There were various sites that began (for example, Orkut) before the ultimate social media website, Facebook, emerged. Once it came into the market, things changed on a huge scale. Facebook began as a social media site that was available to Harvard students but soon gained popularity, and by 2006 it could be u...

The large intestine houses most gut bacteria and all microbiome organisms. The byproducts of bacteria create energy sources for the cells in the colon. The large intestine is 5 to 6 feet long. Small intestine is the biggest site of chemical digestion in your gut. Small intestine is 10 to 16 feet in a length. Small intestine takes 2 to 6 hours for food to pass and majority of nutrients are absorbed here. Most people can live without a stomach or large intestine, but it is harder to live without a small intestine.

Variations pattern of ridges found on the fingers, palms and soles that has a complex genetic basis. These skin ridges develop in humans between 11th and 17th week of gestation and are mainly used for better gripping. Ridge patterns appear to be at least partially determined by genetic factors, but there are also important effects caused by developmental processes. The details of the genetic basis for dermatoglyphic variability in human populations are poorly understood and are likely to be highly complex. Everyone's prints are unique, Fingertip patterns have been generally categorized into three basic patterns: arches, loops and whorls.
