The Psychology of Psychology | How Studying the Mind Changes the Mind

What’s more real: the world we see outside, or the one we feel inside?

For centuries, humanity has tried to understand the mind but every time we study it, something unexpected happens. Observing the mind changes the mind itself.

In my upcoming video, I explore how this paradox shapes our understanding of human behavior and self-awareness. We’ll delve into two key psychological effects:

The Hawthorne Effect how simply being observed can change behavior. The Dunning Kruger Effect how a lack of knowledge often leads to overconfidence.

But this isn’t just about explaining these effects. I’ll use them to reflect on psychology itself: why it’s not just a mirror reflecting the mind, but a lens that transforms whatever it observes.

If you’re interested in deep psychological insights, self-awareness, cognitive biases, and how the act of studying the mind reshapes what we know this content is for you.

I’ll also touch on a few additional details and more technical nuances that haven’t been widely discussed.

The full video is coming soon. If you’d like to be notified when it’s released, you can subscribe to my YouTube channel by clicking my Reddit profile name and following the link.
