Post 5: Statistics Essay II

Humanistic Psychology:
The best way to discover yourself.

Since I've been studying psychology I've known a very diverse fields with a lot of paradigms that try to explain the way of being of everyone because of that I started to analyze myself from those different theories, since behaviorism, which is one of the most dehumanizing paradigms to psychoanalysis which is one the most known in this discipline. However I want  to propose the Humanistic Psychology as the best paradigm to discover yourself and to strengthen you because this psychology contemplate to the human being as a whole, who through the therapy can end with the masks that we use to survive in this modern society or realize which parts of his personality are absolutely genuine, at least. This is the only way to feel free and comfortable with the things that we express to the world.

To prove my thesis I've been doing a research, and I found a few graphs and charts of some recently studies which shows the value of the humanistic psychology because the percentage of people who prefers humanism is truly high. Also I will be analyzing the effect of the therapy according age and gender because is well-know that everybody mentally evolves at different rates and due to varied life experiences.

This first single pie chart is an study of two thousand of people and shows the percentage of people that get better according the different paradigms of psychology. Overall, the trend with a 58% (more than the half of the chart) is the Humanism, which means that the 58% of people with humanistic therapy get better and prefers it.
Although psychoanalysis and behaviorism have less percentage is important to mention that are the two favorites after humanism but they focuses on things totally distinct from humanistic theory. So probably are theories incomparable in some aspects.

The last graph is a percentage bar chart, and we can see the percentage of people who improves due to humanistic psychology according to age and gender so the chart is divided in two groups: women and men and these are divided in three bars which represent the age ranges. From this graph can be extracted that trend on women are those who are older than 60 probably because they have lived more, and for them is easier to enter into a reflexive process, and is the same for men. A thing that I can say about the orange bar is a very wide range so both groups have a lot of time to progress. It's the most enriching stage for self-recovery. By last the blue bar has a very low percentage because is a confusing age, most of them are just starting to know themselves, so humanistic therapy will work with specific events.

Finally as a conclusion, I reaffirm my position because as we saw above the popularity of humanism is growing and is due to its great sensitivity to human subjectivity that people doesn't stop adhering to these therapy and lifestyle.
