Attention getter: The dress was not just a trigger to memory; it was a rich source of embodied knowledge and about personal experience.

Cohen’s article is a reminder to be careful when reviewing research. This article shows how not all research is true and people put their faith into what they want the research to mean. It is damaging to the progression of psychology as a science if researchers do not claim something as significant for being true. We do this by claiming something is significant because that is what NHST says, and

The fashion industry plays a huge role in portraying bad images of ideal beauty, which in turn affects today’s society perception of their own body image. Not only are women affected by what is seen and heard about how the perfect body should appear, children of young ages are now feeling insecure and obsessed with their bodies before they reach teenage years. This ‘ideal image’ the fashion industry continues to enforce only focuses on very thin models who seem to be in shape and are very healthy. Furthermore, many people think of the influence from the fashion industry as being human representations (models). Because of the rising problem with the image of beauty within the fashion industry, it is shown that even mannequins and non-human representations (mannequins, dolls, photoshopping) of bodies play a significant role in women’s body image; which causes problems to the individual. (Anshutz & Engels, 2010). Body image and self-satisfaction, eating disorders and non-human representations all can cause harm to the individual, if prolonged.

My motivation of further study and research in the field of clinical psychology was developed throughout my undergraduate study. In my Community Mental Health’s class, I learned about the need of bilingual mental health workers who work with underservice communities such as the Hispanic community. The class Psychology of Learning exposed me for the first time to the behaviorist approach, which ideas captured me. Behaviorists wanted to transform psychology into a hard science by only studying the

Looking at the history of human research experiments necessitates investigation into the background; why is it not sufficient to simply to undertake an experiment merely to broaden scientific study and understanding? Are not the psychologists and scientists ethical and professional? The answer is quite simply, not always. While many psychologists may have started their experiments with the best of intentions, there were a number that merely seized opportunities that were in their grasp. Hence, there came the need for the Belmont Report and the American Psychological Association’s (APA) Code of Ethics in direct response to testing on human subjects.

Barbie dolls, fairytales, princesses, models, actresses, true love, and happily ever after. The images flash through a girl’s mind as she matures and grows, and as she enters her teen years, she realizes she’s not perfect, she doesn’t have all those nice things she read about and watched when she was little, and it’s distorted her view of herself and on life. Society has started to realize that these images that little girl’s look up to are starting to cause problems in those girls’ futures, and satire has become a strong tool in bringing these problems to the attention of

Forrest J. Ackerman and Myrtle R. Jones, two of 185 attendees at the First World Science Fiction Convention in New York in 1939, happened to be the only people costumed as their favorite characters: a star pilot and a woman from the film Things to Come, respectively. Their unique attires enthused the crowd in assuming an appearance more tailored to the theme of the convention. Their apparel was so tantalizing that the subsequent year, about a dozen fans appeared in their own costumes. People overseas, in Japan, noticed people donning costumes from movies like Star Wars and Star Trek, and decided to follow this custom in their own way —with anime and manga. This brought about the beginning of cosplay in Japan and the rest of Asia, which helped
