The impact of personality on business life has long been of interest to both employers and job seekers. While job seekers apply vocational interest tests with the idea that having a profession that best suits their personality will increase the success and satisfaction in that job, employers are trying to determine the personality traits of applicants which are thought to predict the performance of employees in that specific job. However, using personality tests as a selection tool in the process of recruitment has been highly criticized. One of the main concerns is about job relevance in the meaning of whether it is really associated with job requirements (Spector, 1999). This is an important issue to be taken into account since irrelevant measurement tools cause an unfair situation for the candidate and loss of predictive validity of the selection process for the organizations. That’s why it is highly essential to assess specific personality traits whose validity for the job has been...

Many times, in the movies, we have encountered characters who had to be institutionalized after a great trauma they have been through. Awful things happen to them and the characters who seemingly were mentally healthy before, undergo a radical change as if a switch had been flipped in their minds. When the camera passes through the window of the mental institution to the room of our character we see that some begin to act as if they don't belong to this world anymore, some lose all their functions and become completely unresponsive to the external world, some do not talk to anyone but themselves, some see things that do not exist. Is it possible those pathologies happen to ordinary people because of serious challenges they encountered with? Let’s consider it through a book trying to explain the causes of madness. Definition of Madness for This Text First things first; defining and even using the words of madness is a very controversial and sensitive issue. Since it is not an observ...

Our advanced cognitive abilities are the most important features that make us separate from other living things in the world. This ability including perception, recognition, formation leads us to benefit from world resources and enables us to bring ourselves and the world into constant change and development. What is the first step of successfully utilizing these resources? What provides us to think about something to use it? Perceiving a particular thing begins with giving attention to it, as will be predicted. But while there are hundreds of objects, livings, events, and tasks in the world, is it possible to give our attention to them all, as being the most advanced creatures on earth? Would that be useful to us, even if it was possible? Cognitive psychologists have made a lot of studies to examine human being’s attention capacities and reached critical findings. The most important issue under this topic is giving our attention to multiple things at the same time and keep it on those...

Life is full of choices. Through the decisions we made, from little ones to vital ones, we are drawing our ways in life. But do we have a choice about everything? Aren’t there things we can't choose to get rid of and things we can't stop to affect our actions? According to the founder of person-centered therapy , Carl Rogers, people are completely autonomous individuals who are fully responsible for their actions. They are capable of being aware of their potential and use it for the good of themselves. Some might think that it is not fair to put all the responsibility on people who are tiny little members of huge world orders under the influence of thousands of variables. Mega factors aside, sometimes people are incapable of controlling even their own body and health. It is easy to imagine a simple headache and how it affects everything. Moreover, doesn't responsibility bring guilt? Isn't it a relief for us to say, "I have no fault in this” when things go wrong? So...
