Clp1006 Notes

One main goal of psychology has been established a model to describe and understand human personality. The five-factor model of personality is the most widely used model in describing personality types. The components of the Big Five are extraversion, openness, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism.

Russell Wilson once said, “I truly believe in positive synergy, that your positive mindset gives you a more hopeful outlook, and belief that you can do something great means you will do something great.” , but one may often wonder what synergy is. When I think about synergy, the first thing that comes to mind is teamwork. Teamwork is basically people working to together to find a solution or answer to a problem. But, synergize isn’t just about team work it also deals with being able to cooperate well with others. I believe that synergy focuses a lot on diversity. No one is exactly the same everyone has a different culture, religion, political view, race, attitude, and even more. When working someone you have to put aside all of your differences

Therapists have seen many years of progressive and ever changing rules regarding proper ways to deal with emotions. These emotions range from happiness to extreme sadness to anger. A very prominent myth that almost everyone has heard is “It’s better to express anger to others than to hold it in” (Lilienfeld 147). For clarity’s sake, Scott Lilienfeld, Steven Lynn, John Ruscio, and Barry Beyerstein intended this to mean that violently expressing anger is worse. Anger is a very delicate and strong emotion that has a very strong influence over millions of people. As discussed in “50 Great Myths of Popular Psychology,” aggressively displaying anger has shown to be worse than channeling it in a constructive and calm manner.

Frustration – aggression theory best describes this case study. The reason I choose frustration aggression because Shawn was having problems sleeping at night and problems with his parents due to him smoking and drinking. The frustration lead Shawn go into his parents’ bedroom and stabbed his father in arm,

There are scenarios where a lose-lose outcomes transpire when a win-win outcome might have been possible. One example of this scenario is called the prisoners dilemma whereby two prisoners have to decide whether to confess a crime. Between the two prisoners neither knows what the accused will say or do during questioning. The best outcome for both prisoners would be if both prisoners keep quiet on the subject of the matter. So basically what happens in this case is, if one of the prisoners

The adaptive behaviors scales: measured the likelihood to respond to anger in a constructive way.

I am consider to be a Type A. I am a ambitious person who wants to be someone in life. I think that time should not be wasted and used in doing something useless. I am also a Multi - Tasker, I always try do as much as I can fast. I always take the opportunity available to me if they help me out. I am also aggressive when someone or something prevents me from reaching my goals. I expect myself to accomplish all my goals in a time limit.

Such a large amount of human collaboration comprises of enticing affirmations and activities. This section talks about what elements influence and how we can most successfully have a beneficial outcome on others.

Another test I took was was the type A or B personality. People that have a type A personality are described as high achievers and self driven. They can also be described as competitive. However, having a type A personality can also cause stress problems that can lead to heart disease. Type B personality is more relaxed and laid-back, but this can cause them to procrastinate. They are also known to be less stressed. My results told me that I was type A, but I feel that I am type AB. I have some of the traits of A and some of B. I am self driven, but I can also relax sometimes. I think that type AB would be a good personality for a pediatrician because you have to be organized, but at the same time you are dealing with kids, so you have to be patient. I believe I hold both qualities of A and B.

The one theory that I chose from the five theories of aggression is frustration aggression. The frustration aggression theory is being describes as frustration which is blocking of a goal creates a motive for aggression. Fear of Punishment or disapproval may cause the aggressive behavior to be displaced against some other target, or oneself. As an example, last week I was trying to take a test for this class; however, I did not pay attention on the date that is supposed to be posted it. My birthday was on friday, so I wanted to take it so I can be free over the weekend. Soon as I opened up my computer on the test page , it was blank with the time running. I freak out; on top it my boyfriend would not stop blowing up my phone. I became very

The mean values for the Big Five traits were respectively close, such as 26.41 and 34.99; this suggested the reliability were adequate and consistent throughout all three samples. For the two-month re-test study results, showed reliability and scores were similar in the two independent subsamples. The convergent validity coefficients were substantial and significant and exceeded the discriminant validity. This suggests that an adequate convergent and discriminant validity of the Big Five. When participant’s age and gender were held constant, the Big Five were associated with school performances. Therefore, supported the hypothesis of the high students and suggested predictive validity. Overall, the results support the reliability and validity of the Big Five and can be useful in assessing personality traits in adults and adolescents

Secondly, a person with a good EQ can recognize, control and express one’s own emotions, perceive and assess other’s emotions. On the contrary, a person with a high IQ can learn, understand and implement knowledge, and possesses logical reasoning and abstract thinking. Lastly, EQ measures an individual’s social and emotional competencies or one’s ability to recognize one’s own and other person’s emotional expression. Conversely, IQ measures a person’s academic competency and reasoning ability (S, 2016)”.

For decades, a lot emphasis has been put on certain aspect of intelligence. This intelligence is called IQ ( Intelligence Quotient ). IQ includes aspects of Mathematics, spatial learning, Verbal, logical reasoning, and memory. This intelligence could predict to a significant degree of performances and some degree of personal and professional success. However, some people with fabulous IQ scores are doing poorly in their life. They somehow are wasting their potential by thinking, behaving and communication in a way that hinders their chances to succeed. There is something missing in the success equation. The missing part in the success equation is EQ or EIQ ( Emotional Intelligence Quotient ).
