I'm taking up a degree course in Psychology, do you have any brighter ideas there?the one that's not complicated enough.

Well, why not try out a topic that you *really* like? Psychology is general enough that it allows different intersections from different fields, and I could bet you that whatever your interests, there's a always a psychological component that could stem from it. Liking your thesis also works for the reason that it's really hard to make a thesis out of something that you'll just grumble about. Trust me, this is a constant reminder from all thesis advisors. It makes sense because it's something that you have to do for some time; liking your topic is crucial for your sanity. If you want, you could list down topics that interest you and I could point you to resources that could help flesh out your ideas.

I really appreciate you helping me with this. Well, I'm thinking of these topics this week: effects of foreign movies or soap operas to the people in my country, mental settings of working (at present)grandmothers, individuals ages 25+ with no relationship commitment since birth, defense mechanisms or coping strategies of priests and nuns and most of all (something that deals about photography or with the photographers).....what do you think? thank you so much

I don't see how anyone could help you choose a topic for a thesis without knowing what particular branch of psychology you are most interested in. Here are two good but brief aids to choosing a subject for a psychology thesis: http://www.sparrowpapers.com/resources/thesis_writing_topics/psychology_thesis/ http://www.all-about-psychology.com/psychology-thesis.html

Hello friend. You know in my experience its hard to decide which topic we are going to pursue in writing a thesis especially if it is our first. I tried to browse all existing thesis in our local library and read some of the recommendations of the writer and the area for further study and there an idea just came to my mind as if an impulse. Have you experienced while alone and pondering on something then suddenly a thought or idea just came out? That's the result when your mind is working and ready. So start browsing thesis in your psychology field now and you will be surprised to see what I have had experienced. So I wish you luck my friend.
