-Psychology is the study of the mind, occurring partly via the study of behavior. Grounded in scientific method, psychology has the immediate goal of understanding individuals and groups by both establishing general principles and researching specific cases, and for many it ultimately aims to benefit society. In this field, a professional practitioner or researcher is called a psychologist, and can be classified as a social scientist, behavioral scientist, or cognitive scientist. Psychologists attempt to understand the role of mental function sin individual and social behavior, while also exploring the physiological and neurological processes that underlie certain cognitive functions and behaviors.
-Psychologists explore such concepts as perception, cognition, attention, emotion, phenomenology, motivation, brain functioning, personality, behavior, and interpersonal relationships. Psychologists of diverse stripes also consider the unconscious mind. Psychologists employ empirical methods to infer causal and correctional rela.tionships between psychosocial variables. In addition, or in opposition, to employing empirical and deductive methods, some - especially clinical and counseling psychologists - at times rely upon symbolic interpretation and other inductive techniques. Psychology incorporates research from the social and natural sciences, and from the humanities, such as philosophy.
-While psychological knowledge is often applied to the assessment and treatment of mental health problems, it is also applied to understanding and solving problems in many different spheres of human activity. The majority of psychologists are involved in some kind of therapeutic role, practicing in clinical, counseling, or school settings. Many do scientific research on a wide range of topics related to mental processes and behavior, and typically work in university psychology departments or teach in other academic settings. Some are employed in industrial and organizational settings, or in other areas such as human development and ag.ing, sports, health, and the media, as well as in forensic analysis and other aspects of law.

-In the United States, behaviorism became the dominant school of thought during the 1950s. Behaviorism is a discipline that was established in the early 20th century. Theories of learning emphasized the ways in which people might be predisposed, or conditioned, by their environments to behave in certain ways.
-Classical conditioning was an early behaviorist model. It posited that behavioral tendencies are determined by immediate associations between various environmental stimuli and the degree of pleasure or pain that follows. Behavioral patterns, then, were understood to consist of organisms' conditioned responses to the stimuli in their environment. The stimuli were held to exert influence in proportion to their prior repetition or to the previous intensity of their associated pain or pleasure. Much research consisted of laboratory-based animal experimentation, which was increasing in popularity as physiology grew more sophisticated.

-Social psychology is the study of how humans think about each other and how they relate to each other. Social psychologists study such topics as the influence of others on an individual's behavior, and the formation of beliefs, attitudes, and stereotypes about other people. Social cognition fuses elements of social and cognitive psychology in order to understand how people process, remember, or distort social information. The study of group dynamics reveals information about the nature and potential optimization of leadership, communication, and other phenomena that emerge at least at the microsocial level. In recent ye.ars, many social psychologists have become increasingly interested in implicit measures, meditational models, and the interaction of both person and social variables in accounting for behavior. The study of human society, is therefore a potentially valuable source of information about the causes of psychiatric disorder. Some of the sociological concepts applied to psychiatric disorders are the social role, sick role, social class, life even, culture, migration, social and total institution.

-Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a theory in psychology, proposed by Abraham Maslow in his 1943 paper 'A Theory of Human Motivation'. Maslow subsequently extended the idea to include his observations of humans' innate curiosity. His theories parallel many other theories of human developmental psychology, all of which focus on describing the stages of growth in humans. Maslow use the terms Physiological, Safety, Belongingness and Love, Esteem, and Self-Actualization needs to describe the pattern that human motivations generally move through.
-Maslow's hierarchy of needs is often portrayed in the shape of a pyramid, with the largest and most fundamental levels of needs at the bottom, and the need for self-actualization at the top.
-The most fundamental and basic four layers of the pyramid contain what Maslow called "deficiency needs" or "d-needs": esteem, friendship and love, security, and physical needs. With the exception of the most fundamental needs, if these "deficiency needs" are not met, the body gives no physical indication but the individual feels anxious and tense. Maslow's theory suggests that the most basic level of needs must be met before the individual will strongly desire the secondary or higher level needs.
-With their physical needs relatively satisfied, the individual's safety needs take precedence and dominate behavior. In the absence of physical safety - due to war, natural disaster, or, in cases of family violence, childhood abuse, etc. - people (re-)experience post-traumatic stress disorder and trans-generational trauma transfer. In the absence of economic safety - due to economic crisis and lack of work opportunities - these safety needs manifest themselves in such things as a preference for job security, grievance procedures for protecting the individual from unilateral authority, savings accounts, insurance policies, reasonable disability accommodations, and the like.
*Safety and Security needs include:
~Personal security
~Financial security
~Health and well-being
~Safety net against accidents/illness and their adverse impacts


-A group of psychologists have deemed it necessary to conduct an "Era Experiment", so to speak. They created a massive glass dome and placed a village type space within the dome, complete with terrain variations and forests. They can control the dome's space with a large control center that's located just a quarter of a mile away from the dome. Without sending out complete knowledge of the matter, they sent out word of an experiment to be printed in newspapers, pamphlets, etc., anything that would send out word to get volunteers. Little do the volunteers know that they won't be let back out to resume their regular lifestyles.
_:-^*`~_~`*^-:_

Rules:~


Helpful info would be to read the last paragraph at least and skim the rest.
No Gmodding, Trolling, Flaming, Murdering, Killing, Etc...
No making up your own plot line and ignoring the information I gave.
I will accept your CS and then I'll inform of when we shall start.
You may have a maximum of three characters, but be wise about it if you feel the need to kill one off at some point.
Please be realistic when it comes to being injured or surviving things.
Put 'Psychological Scientific Project' under your CS if you read this.

Volunteers will all meet at a facility and then I'll have a scientist give plenty of information about the dome and whatnot, so I'd prefer you pay attention when that point comes.

If you're curious about something that I didn't inform of in the beginning, just ask.

-Tom-

Tom's hands are at his side. Remembering the day he signed up for this thing... what was he thinkging... a dome?

(One Week Ago)

"Are you sure?" The man in black ask's as he shows Tom a brochure.

"I'm positive." Tom says as he clinches hi fists.

(Back to today)

Tom looks up, squinting his eyes at the sunlight. He puts his hands through his hair, a sign of nervous thoughts.

He continues to walk down the path.

(Sigurd! Hai. You're accepted.)

Isabel comes up to a monotone looking building and looks up at it, squinting past the sunlight before walking through the fairly heavy metal door. She walks through the short hallway and past two rather large men and into another room that was filled with quite a few chairs. Isabel takes a seat that was away from the few people that were here before her and that's when she noticed that the chairs were bolted to the floor. She narrows her eyes at the fact before glancing around to find any other oddities.

-Tom-

Tom pushes at the heavy door which makes a loud bang against the edge of the building. Tom notices a crowd of people walk through a hallway and decides to follow them...

Looking around Tom notices cameras on the floor... odd.

"Aren't cameras usually on the ceiling or near?" Tom Thought.

Tom slowly passes through a room with chairs, seeing as how everyone is cautious and decides to sit together. Tom notices one woman away from the crowd. He decideds to sit by her.

Tom begins to sit in the chair... "Hello" he says in a hearty voice.

Chris

The large man had been sitting behind the desk for an hour now messing with papers. I was getting sick of waiting. I looked back at the door which two armed men from Sencov (The company I worked for) where guarding. I was angry that I was caught but I had good things to do with those weapons. The man put down the papers. I was relieved until he began messing with his computer

-Myles-

"Alright, I'll see ya' later. Wish me luck!" With a final chuckle, Myles snapped his cellphone closed, tucking it back into his pocket as he looked the building in front of him up and down. A warm smile lingered on his face as he stepped inside, through the hallways, and into the room in which others were gathering. Myles looked around, taking note of two sitting away from the crowd. He quickly moved over to them, falling into a free seat. "'Ey." he greeted, his smile becoming a grin.

"Nobody deserves to sit alone, eh?" he prompted, his sonorous voice carrying a jovial tone.

The man finished and pressed a button on his desk. A buzzer went off and a door opened. By the look he gave me I could tell he wanted me to go in so I did. I began to walk in when i noticed the Guards hadnt followed me. I approached the place that seemed to be where to go

Myles greeted the latest person to arrive with a quick pat on the shoulder. "So, it's starting to look like a real party." he noted jokingly, offering his free hand. "Name's Myles." he introduced himself, silently hoping that none of the people with him were the 'silent jerk' types.

-Tom-

Tom looked at Myles akwardly...

What in his life could make a man so happy? Perhaps Tom was just the one who should be questioned. He tried not to think about his past.

Tom smiled and laughed as he gave his hand to Myles and said "Names Tom."
