POSITIVE PSYCHO IMPACTS a).If the individuals in a rural area, psychologically start feeling that a large family (with many children) is not suitable for their family income, they will sacrifice their natural motivations and reduce the number of children per house hold. Cumulatively, his will bring good for the national economy (less demand for the  essential and other needs, due to controlled population). b) If the farmers in a village, psychologically start feeling that joint farming is profitable than cultivating pieces of lands, they will pool their lands, forgetting the family and group differences. There will be more production and quality of agricultural produce at lower costs. Ultimately the national economy develops with this type of motivation. c) If the urban people (in cities)  psychologically start feeling (both at home and office) that we should switch off  the lights and  fans, when there is nobody in the room,  then they will get an automatic urge  to follow this habit. Ultimately it will lead to the conservation of  power at the national level, seeding an essential component in economic development.    d) These could be extended to an unending list of positive psychology in multi areas leading to the Socio-Economic development of every nation. e) EXAMPLES.  ** Mahathma Gandhi (1869 – 1948), won the Indian freedom, by pooling the positive psychological feeling to have “Swaraj” (From 1915 to 1947) among the Indians that “We Indians should not be ruled by a foreigner – British”.. He was attempting a similar psychological feeling against “apartheid” for (Africans + Indians), in South Africa, from 1893 to 1914, where he was a practicing lawyer !! But failed because all the local + expatriates do not want to antagonize the Britishers. (See at <a href="http://www.drvsrs.com/sedjr.htm"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.drvsrs.com/sedjr.htm">http://www.drvsrs.com/sedjr.htm</a></a>). ** Indira Gandhi (1917 to 1984. Former PM of India.) implemented a 20 point economic program during the period 1974 to 1976, to satisfy   the basic needs of the people (food, shelter and clothing) and tools to take faster economic decisions. This provided a psychological satisfaction to the public and helped the nation to be more disciplined and economically developed during that period (See at <a href="http://www.drvsrs.com/igandhi.htm"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.drvsrs.com/igandhi.htm">http://www.drvsrs.com/igandhi.htm</a></a>)  Hypothesis#2 – Psychological support of the people is a crucial factor to attain any economic, political and social targets. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2. NEGATIVE PSYCHO IMPACTS. a) If all the people in a location psychologically start feeling that the banks are unsafe to keep their money, there will be a rush to with draw mass money. All the bank’s  fiscal position will shatter. This will crate a direct impact in weakening the national economy. b) If all the people in a location psychologically start feeling that there are indication of famine in the year, they will start hoarding all the  food grains and other needs, expected to be affected by the famine. This will offset the whole economic plans of the nation. In addition, it will offset the demand and supply position of  agricultural and affiliated fields leading to an economic chaos !!!  c)  The list of economic failure due to deserting villages, discontinuing agriculture, closure of business houses and many more economic failure can happen, if the psychological attitude of the domestic people starts degrading. d) EXAMPLES.  ** In early July 2008, IndyMac Bank, a California-based institution, failed. News images showing customers lined up outside the bank's branches to make withdrawals evoked scenes from the Great Depression, the last time in American history when bank failures played a significant role in the country's economic landscape. Unfortunately, the worry IndyMac's failure caused may have left many people unclear about what it means for a bank to fail - and whether or not they should be worried about their own financial institutions. As more and more people make large withdrawals, the bank loses even more cash and becomes less likely to survive the crisis. In extreme cases, even a false rumor that a bank is struggling could lead to a bank run and ultimately a bank failure. ** Psychological impact of  Foot ball loss deserted FORNEY on Saturday the December 11, 1966  at 3 p.m.. “Forney, Texas., USA, became a ghost town. The reason for it all, strangely enough, was a football game 200 miles away in Austin. That is where Forney's beloved Jackrabbits played Sonora in the Class A state semifinals Saturday night - and that is where the mass exodus of Forney citizens converged.. But alas, Forney's football faithfuls were souls of heart breaking disappointment before the day was through. Forney's fine team lost to Sonora 39-28”. This had a high negative impact on the business, productive and economic sectors of Forney. It tilted the country planning of Texas in particular and U in general. ** Mahathma Gandhi (1869 – 1948) removed the “Jewel in the crown” of the British empire by winning the freedom to India only by  directing the psychological will power against the British rulers. He propagated the concept of “Swadeshi” to use domestically made items (cottage industry) and boycott british goods.
