The idea behind this chanel is to grant access to Psychology students at the Borough of Manhattan Community College in New York City to some of the most pertinent videos in the field of Psychology.

It shall contain videos pertaining to course work and certain selected psychologically oriented topics.

Being in the present is perhaps the most important feature of interpersonal, or for that matter, any type of relationship. Too often, we find ourselves thinging about a future event or rehashing a past one at the same time that we participate in a present one. What is likely to take place is that the moment at hand is missed. And once that happens, the experience of that point in time is forever lost.
In this segment, Dr. Gold explains that authority and control are somewhat of an illusion. The fact remains that the only thing that we have total control over is our behavior and only as it applies to the present time and situation. We have little say over how people interpret our words and actions; and we have equally little ability to predict how others will act at any given time. Therefore, living in the present, avoiding mindreading and minimizing our efforts to control others' responses helps to make our existance more fruitful and less anxiety ridden.
In this segment, Dr. Gold helps the group to differentiate between the cognitive concept of thinking and the affective expression of true feeling or emotional expression. Dr. Gold states that many of us eliminate feeling from our affective repetoire and rely on thinking which involves a gamut of techniques-none of which connect us to the true power of emotion.

A remake of the famous study originally done in the '60's. Until recently, no one was authorized to replicate it due to ethical considerations. However, in 2007, ABC News was granted such permission and did so with many of the original researchers and some of the actual partipants. New data was also added.
