Psi Chi Psychology Research Paper

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.

2. The caring mother was looking to assuage her son after he was hurt on the playground.

They also found that childhood sexual abuse was the most common trauma that lead to PTSD symptoms. These findings are in line with previous research on this topic or similar topics to this one. Although childhood sexual assault was the common, the authors noted that being stalked and being threatened produces the most severe symptoms of PTSD in the regression equation. Another finding that was consistent with previous research is that sudden death of a loved one was a traumatic even experienced more frequently by the participants. Even though this was a very diverse group in terms of ethnicity, it still found that men experienced robbery and stranger assault more frequently than women. These findings are also consistent with other research. The authors expressed that because the diagnoses were not based on research-based diagnoses but from clinical charts it may not be as reliable. They also noted that there may be some groups that were not represented in the study, such as those living with SMI in the inner

Steve’s relationships with women are internally motivated, meaning he actively desires to participate in these behaviors. Based on Freud’s Oedipus Complex, Steve wanted to have sexual relations with his mother, and loved her, but as stated in the case study, “[Steve’s mother] did not give Steve the demonstrative affection and loving interaction he craved.” According to this quote, it is evident that Steve desires women’s attention but in his early years was denied by his mother, in other words, he faced rejection at an early age. As the case study later states, Steve has sex with many women and dumps them before things get serious. This is because he believes that women go out with him just for a meal and sex, and would break up with him

Overall, this article describes numerous cases of people’s personality and behavior being drastically affected by various forms of brain damage, particularly to the frontal lobe. This is consistent with what we have learned about Phineas Gage and his dramatically changed personality. As such, the author, David Eagleman, concludes that humans are not really “free” and that we are all products of our brains’ physical state, meaning that the notion of all humans being equal in their decisions is fundamentally flawed. He therefore proposes modifying the criminal justice system so that sentencing is customized more for the particular offender, taking into account the functionality of the criminal’s brain,

David Wechsler: In charge of testing adults of widely varying cultural and socioeconomic back rounds and ages at a large hospital in NY

Two men represent their communities in different ways. Joe Louis represented the Black community in a boxing match. For instance, the boxing match between Louis and Carnera, was important to the Black community because Louis, a black boxer, represented them when he fought a white boxer. In the book I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings Maya Angelou writes, “My race groaned. It was our people falling…A Black boy whipped and maimed.” (135). At this moment, Louis was almost robbed of his title. This would have been another injustice on the Black community, the referee signaled the contender to stop, and he continued hitting Louis (135). Also, not only were the Black community supporting one of there own, but wanted the sense of defeating the White

Beep! Beep! Beep! Right now I’m thinking to myself that why do I have to get up so stinking early for school. I just want to keep sleeping but I can’t because of two reasons. The first reason is obvious because I have to get up for school, and the second reason is that I had to go number one undoubtedly bad. The stretch receptors in my bladder were screaming at me to go. They were screaming at me because my bladder was full of 800 milliliters of urine. My bladder was so full because my kidneys were trying to keep my blood pH levels normal so they were flushing out excess H+ ions. The only way I knew this is because the stretch receptors sent this message through the nervous system (aka the brain (the control center)) The nervous system sends and receives electric messages through the spinal cord and especially the brain. The nervous system receives and sends messages through the receptors in the sense organs. The nervous system is a part of everything in your body because it helps with homeostasis in every organ system including itself. Once I received this message I got up quickly and ran to the bathroom and relived myself. [1]

List three things you learned in each module. Module 1 a. The humanistic perspective, developed by psychologist Carl Rogers, focuses around the client and includes unconditional positivity for the patient. It strongly revolves around a person's emotional sense of self. b.

Every pearl begins as a dangerous and harsh intrusion into life. A piece of dirt is inserted into an oyster’s environment where it doesn’t belong. The oyster can either respond by dying, or by accepting and surrounding the sand with care. With continual care, the oyster turns the small speck of dirt into a beautiful pearl. The Scarlet Letter is a story of how one woman takes a scandalous event and rather than allowing the event to define her, she, by constant kindness, turns her life and her child into something of worth. The theme I am focusing on in The Scarlet Letter is the person and the concept which embodies courage and redemption.

In Psychology 101, you learn about a personal fable; something that I have not lost. I have always wanted to change the world that I was destined for greatness and teaching elementary school students gives me that power. In the words of Nelson Mandela, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

When I started this class this pass September I had a little knowledge of psychology. In my junior year of high school I took Psychology as an elective class. I really enjoy it alot, it amaze me how much there was to know about our brains. This September I came with the feeling that this psychology class was going to be way different from my psychology class from high school. And that my knowledge from my class before wasn’t going to be useful at all. But I was wrong, this class has actually been better than my other class. Because it has help dust off some of the concepted that I had learn before. But it has also made gain more knowledge about psychology that I didn’t knew before. For example the next concepts are the ones that had impacted me the most: critical thinking and the eight essential, implicit learning, short term and long term memories. I chose these concept because they have not only taught me more about psychology, but they have made a big impact on me.

Just as all psychological tests are categorized, not all tests are applied for the same use and the same users. Each test is done by a trained or professional to determine what is the situation based on the results and to see what treatment is best for the individual. There are four major psychological tests users are clinical, educational,

According to Black (2009: 2), accounting can be defined simply as the recording, summarizing and interpretation of financial information. A more detailed definition is that offered by the American Accounting Association (1966), as follows: ’The process of identifying, measuring and communicating economic information to permit informed judgments and decisions by users of the information’. This means that, in terms of identifying, this should focus on the key financial segment of an organization, like liabilities, assets and capital. Measuring, on the other hand, refers to the budget of the company and it shows a true and fair view of the organization. Next, communicating refers to the financial information which is transmitted to the people who need this information.
