One of the best applications of Practical Psychology is fixing certain parameters to understand the complex nature of human beings. Generally the analysis of human nature is based on the standard principles which are theoretically approved by the society we live in and the culture voluntarily adopted by us. It should be admitted that not all truly and cent percent qualify to be adjudged as perfect or ideal beings. Psychologically there are temptations, physical and mental handicaps, diffidence in certain paths of life and temporary enthusiasm, which constitute our personality. Despite this, with no exception, all the virtues and vices accompany everyone in certain measures. Obviously the warring spirit between them continually creates confusion or chaos at the mental level owing the the results surfacing. We easily label a person with our own judgement which has a rigid moral platform. Our inference is mostly based only on the effect than the cause which had prompted the person to act so. Many times it is the circumstances which burden a person to deviate from the normal path. Therefore, our yardstick may not be faultless in an absolute manner. In this regard Lucifer Effect is a guideline for us to get a clarity regarding why good people deviate from the standard social principles, which have earned accreditation. Generally there is an attempt to place hurriedly a blame on the mental frame of the evil-doer. Onlookers are ever critical about the choice of the �ism� preferred by the person without knowing it properly. The most commonly mistaken behavioural science in this regard is Hedonism. It is very casually taken for granted that Hedonists have been striving only for Pleasure irrespective of the circumstances. It is also abruptly concluded that Hedonism does encourage even wrong doing just for the sake of gaining pleasure. This paper attempts to present the clear picture of Hedonism with Psychological and Ethical aspects so that this ism can be used in the present age for the benefit of the society in an agreeable manner.
