Senior year was quickly approaching and I still had one more spot left. I was indecisive about what other class I should add into my schedule. I researched a little and decided on AP Psychology. Little did I know how much I would come to enjoy the subject. From the beginning, I was interested in the psychology. Studying the way the brain works and why people behave the way they do have been topics I’ve been curious about before. Psychology is a subject unlike any other that I’ve studied before. Psychology studies the human mind and behaviors. It provides answers or theories of why people behave certain ways. It also includes bits of biology and and statistics, so the knowledge in other subjects help me understand it more. As I learn more about

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.

I have been recently diagnosed with depression, over the course of eight grade year, my life gradually got worse. From getting my phone taken away, to attempting suicide, and planning on running, to drug use, abusing prescription drugs, day drinking, getting into fights with peers, prostitution. Anything that could distract me from my pain. I would do anything to escape reality. I started getting bullied towards the middle of my eighth-grade year, that was also around the time I began cutting and doing drugs. After that I planned on running away with one of my friends, then my dad found out, about everything. He gave my phone to the police and had me institutionalized, I stayed in the

Approximately 2-3 months later I found myself asking my mom if I could be enrolled in gymnastics classes,. She didn't seem to have a problem with this, except that gymnastics is very expensive, which is something her and dad had to discuss. With the expense in the sport, I would have to be doing many chores, which I was fine with since, I did them anyway, but I would still have to ask my dad. He, however, was concerned with prices and the financial sector, and so was my mom. They at first they did not agree, and said “there’s high school and cheer at school”, I scornfully walked back to my room holding tears that were on the fence. Getting into my room, I buried my face in my pillow and let all the tears free onto the cloth that now resembles a darker shade, because of its dampness. My mom then came in a caught me crying my eyes out and brought dad out to talk about this more. I felt so weak like I was trying to change their mind, but I was truly just very upset and had been thinking about this for weeks now. My mom and dad then agreed, together that, we can try 3 months of it, and I guess then we’ll just

During high school, I faced an enormous challenge: episodic acute stress. People that suffer from this are short-tempered due to stress in an attempt to accomplish their goals. It can also cause a person to be hostile towards their loved ones. In high school, my parent's demands were my goals. Trying to handle a full schedule of AP’s, honors, clubs, and a sport while trying to fulfill my parent's demand took a tow on my mental and physical health. As time went by, my episodic acute stress worsen. I began lashing out at my peers becoming more aggressive at every person who tries to approach me. It also came to a point where I couldn't think properly and was experiencing constant chest pain. Due to my unstable state, my grades began to decrease

Richard Fee was a potential medical student, an athlete on the baseball team and sophomore class president. In 2008 he began to struggle with focusing on his studies and went to see a doctor who believed he had Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. The doctor immediately prescribed him Vyvanse for his ADHD. In 2008 after he graduated with a degree in biology, he began to study hard for the medical school entry exams. (Schwarz 1) This caused him to make an appointment to the nearby Triad Psychiatric and Counseling Center. The doctor concluded from an 18-question-survey that he had an inattentive-type of ADHD. Richard Fee never had any signs of ADHD before college, as a kid or young adult growing up. A nurse practitioner at the psychiatric counseling center recorded that before, Richard’s complaints about “organization, memory and attention to detail.”, “his speech was clear, his thought process “goal directed” and his concentration “attentive.” (Schwarz 3) Transitioning into severe abuse, he would refill his prescription multiple times a month when he wasn’t even out of them. Then the side effects of Vyvanse began to take place; Richard’s sleep patterns became jumbled, he was in a dark depressed mood and moved back in to his home in Virginia Beach with his parents. Richard began to go through his medication expediently and would go through a whole months worth in a couple weeks. Richard’s behavior was spiraling out of control at this point. He then became paranoid

I am worried that my transcripts displayed weakness as a student because of my questionable GPA from freshman and sophomore year. Without making excuses for myself, I want to impress upon you the number of personal difficulties I faced during that time, including – but not limited to – several hospitalizations. After my sophomore year, I transferred

As we get older, we begin to develop an attraction for other people. This is normal in most of people's life. That is my current case. I have developed feelings for a girl and now I am feeling things I have not felt before. I stepped up to the challenge and asked the girl I am attracted to on a date. I got a yes for an answer as I expected but this only threw me into a nervous state of mind. This is a girl who has been my best friend for several years and we were romantically involved for some time but things fell apart as she moved to a different state for college. As spring break is upon us she is returning home for a short period of time. I intend to take this opportunity to just talk with her and orient my feelings to the proper place.

There were several medication changes, psychiatrist appointments, support staff meetings, and police visits during the month of March. During this time, I was working 45 to 50 hours per week in my demanding human resource manager position, I was parenting three other children, and was trying to maintain my course assignments. I rarely turned in an assignment late, and if I needed a little extra time I requested it before the due date. Although the assignments were completed, they lacked quality. I would have to rush through required reading. I wouldn’t have the time or energy to edit or proofread my papers before submission. Group assignments were particularly difficult because I could never predict when Aaron’s behavior would escalate. I missed group calls because during the scheduled time Aaron’s would be having an episode.

The California Psychological Inventory (CPI) is a sophisticated assessment developed to not only measure personality but also to predict how people will react in different situation. It is a more indepth version of MBTI. The purpose of this test is to provide a portrait of both personal and work related characteristics. It is a self-report inventory, and a personality assessment. It is empirically derived by test taker’s drives, motivations, interpersonal style, and ways of leading. CPI used common factors that are easier to be understood by test takers to measure their interpersonal skills, self-management skills, motivation and thinking styles, and personal characteristics. Your CPI report is divided into four parts, however, we will only discuss the first, second and the last part of the result in the report.

The personality assessment inventory tests provide results on my individual personality, values, motivation, decision making, communication, team skills, conflict skills, organizational structure preference, and stress. These results are broken down briefly in three parts and do not include any personal speculation or analysis as to their meaning. The application of these results are further applied and explains how the results noted from the tests and in the first step will make me a better employee, co-worker, and manager within my organization. These tests mentioned above are applied in conjunction with particular examples on how I can achieve becoming a better employee, co-worker, and manager. An explanation of how my personality and experiences were affected by the Holy Spirit is also discussed. Particularly, how potential weaknesses have become strengths with the guidance of the Lord.

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,
