Psychology Research

Nature vs Nurture is something that I have linked to the psychology side behind my concept of the locus of control. Also the idea of the glass half full, or glass half empty.

If you are taught from a young age the importance of money you might think more about what you are spending your money one.

Linking to the locus of control. Being in control - if you are a true shopaholic do you feel in control. Are you actually in control. If your parents have an external locus you are more likely to have an external locus, and the same with an internal locus. If you have an external locus you may be more consumed by the trends and what is influencing you. If you have an internal locus then you may be more self aware on what you are influenced by and even if you follow the trends, you are fully aware of it.

I have thought about how I could show this in my project and I have thought about how I could produce a magazine cover. I could produce two magazine covers even - one focusing on an external locus and the other focusing on an internal locus. I have looked into Vogue magazine covers as inspiration for the style of possible magazine covers. I have then thought about linking it to my theme of future reset and thinking how I could have a futuristic magazine cover, or even a old fashioned magazine cover, or maybe combine them or have one of each.
