1.0 Introduction

Psychology is the study of the brain as well as characters. It is also an educational discipline along with practical sciences which attempts to comprehend a person and a group by generating values and studying on a certain case. Psychology and education conveys a variety of perceptions from psychology as well as socio-educational hypothesis to vital problems in education. Therefore the research subjects in psychology and education do comprise of the expansion in language like literacy, figures along with science. Thus, they do have a vital role in the classroom originality when it comes to the communication as well as education (Psychology and Education Group, 2015).
Psychology highlights the entire human character and this makes it to be the most scientific discipline compared to other science subjects. Psychologists like other scientist benefit from generating new basing on what they do learn. Among the notions concerning psychology do comprise of character taming whereby people do ascertain that by articulating their emotions. Then they will feel relaxed; therefore, the notion of “catharsis” also suggests that by removing our temper then we will be able to relieve ourselves from the entire antagonistic feelings.
The psychologists also suggest that basing on the hypothesis regarding emotions that is described as a facial feed structure. It is clear that the appearance on ones face aids them to regulate on what they feel towards their inner bodies. A study conducted to support this is through the case of individuals who had got Botox cure, an aesthetic injection that paralyses the physique of the face. The results of the study revealed that the Botoxed accomplices were not in a position to sympathize with their previous emotions. Consequently, this is because in real sense they were not able to contract their facial muscles.
The principle of self-affirmation was initiated by Stuart Smalley through the phrase “I am elegant enough and gosh do I adore individuals like me.” Usually personal affirmation can be less disposed to track an objective if it encounters failure. Thus, these can be up to the point whereby one internalizes their breakdown and feels like they have less possibility of achieving their goals.
Studies regarding psychology and education showed that one of the major trends concerning individuals is to think that they were correct about forecasting events results prior to it happening even when we are not correct. Psychologists have for many years understood about hindsight bias; although a new study expressed that one can be thwarted from the decoy of hindsight. Therefore, all this trends can be achieved through the plain realism-testing interferences before one obligates to this cognitive fake pass.
Psychology and education covers broad areas like the mind-wandering whereby this phrase is not new in the modern world. Current studies explain that mind-wandering can be essential in ones thinking. The foot-in-the-door is a popular technique in influencing people into gratifying a large demand by first offering them with small feedbacks. Basing on various studies done, the researchers established that they could persuade the participants into undertaking the energy conserving activities more successfully by employing double-foot-door. In this technique, one makes the demand in three stages like little, medium as well as big. Thus, this is contrasting to the little as well as big stage.
Psychologists do suggest that heuristic is a decree concerning the thumb which permits individuals to come up with decisions and solve troubles. The concerns about heuristic do describe individuals as irrational propensity to envisage the challenge regarding how terrifying something seems to be as compared to its prospect (Whitbourne, 2013). Also, the stated aspects do show on the psychology’s infinite array when it comes to cool notions.
Why individuals undertake or do things as the way they are is a question that most people do ask themselves. Thus, according to a study concerned with the character of persons as well as animal first emerged in the 1870’s. In spite of its youth, it is a vast discipline as well as a necessary spanning topic matter that originates from biology to sociology. The studies also revealed that psychologist do learn the connection between a pair of critical relationships. One of the studies explains the purpose of the brain as well as behavior while the other describes the environmental characters. Being a science course, the psychologists do pursue the scientific procedures by employing cautious studies, experimentation along with psychoanalysis. Also, the psychologists do need to be innovative in the process by which they conduct the scientific findings (Careers in psychology, 2015).
Various studies conducted regarding psychology and education in children showed that. It is not right to explain to a child that they are clever but instead it is advisable to acclaim on their work. Basing on Carol Dweck as well as her group in the Columbia University “telling the children that they are clever makes them to maintain the image of emerging as smart”. Therefore, the researchers established that simply the trend of observing the eyes almost tripled the amount of currency placed in a box.
Melissa Bateson and friends at Newcastle University in the United Kingdom placed a novel price catalog every week in their psychology section coffee room. The prices remained unaffected in every week. Thus, from their experiment the faces remained different but the eyes constantly looked straight on the catalog. Therefore, the psychologists concluded that individuals who play video games are more likely to have logical dreams than those who do not play (Be, 2015).
1.2 The problem

The research study main objective is to examine the benefits of psychology and education along with the alternate issues that do affect psychology. Therefore, the variables along with the relationships used in the study do comprise of the correlation between psychology and education as well as the essential questions that would be made. Thus, this is before coming up with any conclusion. Questions like how do psychologists handle the patients demand as well as ways through which psychotherapy help people will be addressed.
A psychologist can aid ones work through the use of psychotherapy, psychotherapy as well as individuals of all ages in having good and manageable lives. In psychotherapy, psychologists employ considerably validated techniques to aid individuals grow healthier (Understanding Psychotherapy and how it works, 2015).
1.4 Specific Objectives

* To examine the benefits of psychology and education. * To examine the advantages of psychotherapy. * To examine the factors that should be considered before undergoing through psychotherapy. * To demonstrate the alternate kinds of Psychotherapy.
1.5 Background to the problem

The background to the problem will generate the hypothesis whereby the problem of the study is vital since it will be able to cover the various issues related to the benefits of psychology and education. In addition the problem will be able to come up with answers regarding the challenges that psychologists do undergo through. Therefore, the conclusions obtained from these problems will aid in solving the alternate queries that the study will have focused on.
As of the researches conducted regarding the same they do consist of the laboratory experimentation whereby it is customarily described as the “gold average” in psychology research. Thus, this is due to the fact that only laboratory experiments can visibly distinguish a cause from a result and ascertain its response. Despite this exceptional strength, it is right to say that the scientific field that is primarily based on regulated laboratory learning always ends up unbalanced.
Certainly, it also gathers a lot of understanding concerning what takes place under the cautious as well as restricted conditions. Therefore, this happens to give a shallow explanation regarding what in reality takes place under the same situations that individual actually encounter in their every day lives.
A study conducted regarding psychology and education involved the case of persons imagining that they are accomplices. This was in an experiment that attempted to look at the consequences of one being in a good temper as well as generous. Thus, subjects that may have excellent deal of practical application can be described as having internally-valid and cautiously regulated experiment. Consequently, they erratically allocate one to study if they are happy or sad.
Being among the novel initiators of social psychology, it is clear that researches in the laboratory do take place in socially speaking as well as secluded life of the community. The module also highlights on the significance of going past experimentation. Thus, this is along with undertaking the study outside the laboratory (Schreiner, 2015).
Also, studies conducted regarding psychology and education comprised of the notion why complete rudeness amazes wholeness. Therefore, if inquired, most of us would possibly state that we loathe rudeness, although researches propose that we also do regard it as a mark of authority. A 2011 research regarding the “communal psychological as well as individuality science” shows that the ruder an individual behaves, then the more predisposed the onlookers ascertain that he or she is becoming influential.
It can be concluded that basing on the alternate studies concerning psychology and education on rudeness. It is clear that infringing on ones norms can be perceived by others as a mark of authority. Consequently, this is even if the onlookers would otherwise moderate those infringements as offensive or faulty wrong. Among the prospect proposals on psychology and education do include of researches concerning individual determination. Therefore, throughout the last 30years, alternate hypothesis of motivation have formulated imminent causes that undermines students characters to portray their physical education. An individual determination hypothesis is described as universal theory on communal growth as well as motivation. Individual motivation explains that for scholars to be optimally aggravated for physical education. It is important for them to support the contentment of their intrinsic, psychological desires for independence, competency along with relatedness (Physical education and sport pedagogy, 2015).
2.0 Method (Research Design)

The study was conducted along with the key topic of the research study in attempting to respond to the queries regarding the study. The research study will be restricted across this authority because it is atopic concerning psychology and education. The data gathered will have to cover these issues along with establishing solutions to the alternate queries that the key topic attempts to address.
A single-case research design is a type of study that usually employs applied fields of psychology as well as individual character (Homer, Carr, Halle, McGEE, Odom & Wolery, 2015).The research employed would be descriptive. Therefore, a descriptive research oftenly attempts to demonstrate as well as give information that presumes data connected to a fastidious phenomenon (Allan & Randy, 2005). Thus, single researches are researches that can be employed when the sample size is single or involves a group of persons (Richard, Taylor & Ramasamy, 2014).
2.1 participants

According to Zimmerman, population is regarded as the entire grouping of persons, methods as well as things of apprehension that the researcher desires to study (Zimmerman, 2012). Consequently, the participants of the study will comprise of the male as well as female genders that do require psychiatric therapy.
2.2 Sampling procedures

Sampling procedure can be used basing on the kind of research that is to be conducted (Picciano, 2015). According to Thomas & Hersen, it is clear that sampling procedures are oftenly specific requirements of the individuals concerning what they desire to create as inferences. Therefore, the sampling procedures are meant to be placed under restrictions concerning the population as well as conclusions created on any sample based technique.
2.3 Sampling Technique

Most of the samplings techniques do aid in enhancing the statistical augment in effectiveness on the sample. Thus, they also offer the needed data for examining the alternate sub populations as well as aiding diverse techniques and processes that is to be studied.
Basing on Blankenship he does define sampling method as the procedure of defining as well as tracing the subsequent step. Consequently, this comprises of the facts as to who is thought to be contributing in the study.
2.4 Sampling size

A random sample size of 20 participants needing psychiatric therapy will be used. Thus, this selected sampling would be employed so as to guarantee that the participants would offer certain information and that they would also retort to the certain research. A simple stratified sampling technique shall be employed. Consequently, stratification is the procedure of portioning members in a populace into homogenous subgroups that is also described as strata.
The strata need to be equally exclusive; thus, each aspect in the population must be allocated to a single stratum. This is because it a strata usually enhances the representatives of the sample by eradicating the sampling mistakes. Therefore, these will be able to guarantee that all participants in the population have got an identical prospect of being selected (Karan, 2010).
Sample size Types of psychotherapy | Participating individuals who need psychotherapy | | Frequency | Sample | Individual | 10 | 5 | Marital/couples | 7 | 4 | Family | 15 | 8 | Group | 3 | 3 | Total | 35 | 20 | | | |

2.5 Target Behaviour

The target behavior in most occasions needs to be positive and they are used in the field of applied character study as well as criterion (Williams, 2015). Thus, from the target sample involving individuals, the target behavior to be examined will involve a person being angry as well as disruptive. Consequently, this target behavior will be subjected to change.
2.6 Ethical, legal and socio cultural concerns

The participants in the research study will be assured of their revelation because the information along with response given will be confidential. Any act of leaking the participant’s information will be treated as an offense and the individuals responsible will be prosecuted. The research will not be bias since it will centre on all people regarding their socio cultural background.
Prior to the study, the participants’ will be addressed adequately; therefore, no person will be forced into undertaking the study if they do no want. The study will depend on the genuinely of the participants response in answering the queries. The unprejudiced information will not be considered since it will be termed as misguiding to the study. In case of any alterations to the research study as well as questionnaires the participants will be instantly noticed.
2.7 Methods of recording the behaviours

The data concerning the behaviors of the participants will be gathered from the field of study. The researcher will also have a field assistant to aid in dispensing of the questionnaires which will also be used in recording the behaviors. The examiner will visit the field of learning so as to conduct the observation. The results gathered will be recorded on an observation sheet.
Qualitative data from the participants will be arranged in broad thematic grouping and also in a catalog of participants and numerals. Consequently, this will be employed so as to give more approach on the opinions of the research projects as well as accuracy.
3.0 Mock data
A mock data is a replicated entity that imitates the character of an actual object in a regulated means. The mock data is usually used in unit evaluation so as to analyze the performance of a real object (Rouse, 2006).
Table 3.1.1 gender of the Participants Participants | Number of participants | Male | 10 | Female | 10 | Total | 20 |

The average number of participants summed up to 20. The male participants were 10 while the female participants were 10.
Figure 3.3.1 shows the number of participants who were 1o males and 10 females.

Figure 3.3.2 shows the age groups of the participants

4.0 Discussion

The main objective of the research study was to examine the benefits of psychology and education along with the alternate issues that do affect psychology. Thus, this is clear from the research led by the objectives. * To examine the benefits psychology and education. * To examine the advantages of psychotherapy. * To examine the factors that should be considered before undergoing through psychotherapy. * To demonstrate the alternate kinds of Psychotherapy
The main population comprised of all individuals as well as gender involved in psychology and education. Descriptive statistics was used to select the participants. First hand data was also used to select participants using the questionnaires. Data and information gathered was examined using graphs as well as charts to show data. Excel spreadsheets was employed in gathering, examining along with representing data.
Among the limitations of the study did comprise of the unwillingness of some of the participants to disclose information. Also, the researcher faced hostility from the participants while some of the field study was not easy to access due to its geographical terrain. The internal validity of the study was able to come up with concrete results. As for the external validity of the research study, it meant that some of the information offered by the participants was contradicting with the real life situations.
5.0 Recommendations for future study

The research study focused on the benefits of psychology and education along with the alternate issues that so affect psychology. Further research could center on ways through which psychologists could help those individuals who are not ready to disclose their inner information.
