Learning is a permanent change in the behavior of a human as a result of some occurrence, internal, external, or both. Interestingly, the learning itself may be observable through behavior or not. Through the various forms, thoughts, ideals, and studies of human consciousness, behaviors, and learning over thousands of years, how the topics of learning and behavior are studied have changed dramatically and still encompass the questions of natural vs. environmental knowledge and learning.One example that interests me from a standpoint of technology, is the introduction and mass evolution occurring since the introduction of social media. This platform of technology seems to have fundamentally changed the way that humans communicate and interact with one another. I think it would be interesting to study behavioral changes over time that are a direct result of this. This would be a study that would take many years of following participants. Specifically, I am interested in how the shift from a “face-to-face” society to one that is largely cyber in nature has changed the skills that growing humans learn as a result of their environment. For example, when I was growing up, bullying took the form of verbal and physical abuse one would endure while in the presence of another. We all had to adapt and evolve one way or another. We could avoid, confront, concede to or callout the bully. Whatever the response, we learned from it and it shaped our behaviors through learning, for better or for worse. The same bullying happens today in the social media setting. Do the recipients of this kind of attack have appropriate means to learn how to adapt and evolve. Is it possible that those who do learn from this experience develop a whole new type of evolutionary learning and adapting, different from when I was growing up. What will this learning do to future situations that lend to aggression? Is it possible that this could decrease physical violence? Could this actually increase physical violence? There are many questions that are unknown today that will be interesting to learn over time. Studying a young group of participants over time tracking how much time is spent, how many interactions they may have encountered that would qualify as an aggressive encounter, how they chose to deal with the behavior, etc. I would also want to have in-person psychological testing occur periodically for each participant to assess various psychological skills that surround coping with aggression and communicating. Over time, an assessment of changes in skills could be correlated to social media. Social SciencePsychology
