Throughout this semester of Psychology 150 I have learned a great deal about several different concepts that I consciously, and sometimes unconsciously, find myself applying to my life. There are five different psychology topics I found that held the most relevance to my life. Some of these topics do not deal with myself exclusively, but they do affect the people I hold dear to me. The topics range from disorders to personality differences, and they all affect me in some way, both indirectly and directly.

After checking some of the websites about psychobabble and its meaning, I have learned that there is a lot of words used today by ordinary people, and Psychologist. Some Psychologist or Doctors will diagnose children with ADHD, but they have not tested these children properly to prove their diagnosis. Sometimes these children may be just bored or they need something to do that stimulates their interest in the subject that they are studying or they just have built-up energy and they may need more exercise in their daily routine, than other children.

Your memory of your first day of high school would be an example of which of the following types of memory?

In Chapter 7 of our What Is Psychology textbook, we learned about the importance, details and strategies of memory techniques. One type of memory is Short Term, which only last up to thirty seconds before forgetting. Whenever has to remember a number or a name, they often repeat the information multiple times so that the Short Term Memory can transition into Long Term Memory. In order for this transition to occur, the information must be constantly repeated, or important enough to be held in the permanent memory, which helps create a “folder” with all retaining information and reminiscing. Another way short term can become long term is using a method called Chunking, this breaks the bigger pictures into smaller ones for the brain to remember,

Reaching for your dreams is like looking at the Sunday newspaper comics, if you look from a far, you see the big picture, but if you look close, all you see are a bunch of dots put together. October Sky is a film based on Homer Hickam’s determination to win a national science fair. He is constantly ostracized by his community and family and does not have much money to support him either. Homer clearly doesn’t have a good chance at even getting to the science fair, let alone winning it. Many obstacles are in his way and he can’t even see his goal with all of them in the way. Somehow, he perceivers and finds a way to reach his goal. His friends did not believe in him, but later started to really believe and they all

Compare and Contrast the approach to studying children’s friendships taken in the Bigelow and La Gaipa (1975) study with that taken by William Corsaro.

We have a new schematic diagram since we have changed the independent variables. And the new independent variables were self-confident, vanity, conformity, and believed in quality. The dependent variable was still the intention to buy luxury, and there is a moderator money in the research finding. In the research finding, we would like to find out the relationship and effect of the psychology factors of oneself to the intention to buy luxury. We have cut away the brand effect and the quality effect in the previous model and changed them into believed in quality, because we are mainly concerned about these IV’s psychology impact to the buyers' buying behaviour.

This would fall under over generalization. I believe that me taking a small argument or incident that many times has nothing to do with myself, and turning on to negative thought about myself not being good enough for other person is something I definitely

The character’s traits

October Sky took place in Coalwood in West Virginia, October 5, 1957. The rockets first started when Homer made a little wooden plane that he had modified to look like a rocket and packed it full of fire crackers. He put the modified rocket on the wooden fence in the front yard and him and his mates lit the fuse which nearly blow them up. So they decided to make a real rock out of metal in the basement. They then when to a open space where they could fly the rocket which they found out the when they flew it nearly killed someone in Coalwood, homers father was the first one to find it and told him to never fly this thing on company property. So the boys when to Snakefoot which is 8 miles from Coalwood so they would walk or hick a ride just so they could fly rockets. They first put a launch pad and launch control box. Homer was ready to build a lot of rockets with trial and lots of error. Which they did with a lot of rockets but they never gave up. But unfortunately most of the town and especially his father thought the were wasting their time. But one of their teachers in high school.

In this fast paced world we live in it is often hard to find the time to ask ourselves, “Who am I?” To even begin to scratch the surface of this question one must first understand the brain and how experiences shape who we are. These events can either be tragic, uplifting, or redefining. Psychology states that these experiences can affect the outcome of a person's personality (Wood, et. al., 2014).

Inside my mind is a vault filled with nineteen years worth of memories and learned behaviors that have impacted me in some way. In order to gain a better understanding of who I am I must delve deep into my mind and analyze the core components of my personality.
