Next, the psychological terminology that can be found in the movie is autonomy. Autonomy refers to self-determination whereby people experience self-direction and personal authorization in the regulation of one’s behavior. In other words, people are free to make decision whether to engage or not to engage in the activity without others control. For example, in the movie Leigh Anne is being autonomous when she picks Michael up as she sees Michael walking down the road on the cold freezing rain. Although they drive away after passing Michael, but Leigh Anne then asks Sean to turn the car around and she decided to takes him back in their car and brings him home as Michael has no other place to stay. She offers him to stay for the night at their …show more content…
One of the scene from the movie shows that Leigh Anne uses controlling motivating style in order to motivate Michael to give his best for the game. As Michael had a big protective instinct and get high scores in the subject, Leigh Anne uses the opportunity to motivate Michael by providing explanatory rationales to him so that he can do better in the game. He walks right in the field during practice and influencing him that the team is just like his family and so he needs to protect one another on the field. Michael finally realizes that he needs to play really well in the game as he believes that he belongs on the field with his team. It simply shows that Leigh Anne was able to influence Michael as he is able to understand his position and his football ‘family’ roles in the field by using controlling motivating style and eventually he was not able to get hang off the game after Leigh Anne explained to him how to play in the field. Negative reinforcers are one of the psychological terminologies that can be found from the movie in which will decrease the future probability of the desired

Gordon learned though conditioning that she can be comfortable being uncomfortable and can control what she can control. She said that she can only control herself and having a strong mentality on the field will help her fundamentally. Then there would be nothing there to make her successful (Gordon). Conditioning the mind makes it much easier to comprehend what’s going on in life and on the field.
At the beginning of Michael’s football career he was unable to figure out what he actually needed to do on the field. It wasn’t until Leigh Anne explained to him: “This team is your family, you protect them.” This genuinely hit a chord with Michael. He is now able to not only have a new family at home but one on the field as well. His protective instincts step in and through dedication and his journey at overcoming prejudice, Michael becomes a successful and appreciated football star.
Throughout the movie “The Blind Side”, Michael is showing willpower. One of the ways that he is showing it throughout the movie is when he is in school. They tested him and he was not doing so well in school subjects but in tested high in protectiveness. Michael was given a tutor named Miss Sue. She would sit down and help Michael understand each of the different subjects. He used willpower to help him get through these situations. Next, Michael uses will power when he is on the football team. Will power is part of being the team. According to Leigh-Ann you have to treat the football team as if it wee your own family(). In the book Abraham Lincoln is trying to pass the Emancipation Proclamation even though

The film I chose to watch is the original Psycho, filmed in 1960 and directed by Alfred Hitchcock.

Negative reinforcers- Likely to make people repeat behaviour as well but the behaviour is being repeated to stop something from happening i.e. children who are going down the slide too quickly will learn to use their hands to stop themselves as they are unhappy about the speed.

There are several different Psychological themes throughout the movie “The Help”. In this paper I will be discussing 3 of which I feel are very important. My intentions throughout this paper is to make everyone aware of not only the Discrimination shown in the movie but also the way that Peer Pressure, and perspective ties into making this a powerful movie.

I/O PSYCHOLOGY IN THE MOVIE OFFICE SPACE Introduction Most movies are a reflection of society and the type of interpersonal interactions that shape human lives, although they are typically revamped to fit a certain genre. In the movie Office Space, the satirical twist is on the human experience of the work environment. It is a comical depiction of how coworkers interact with each other and how they endure stressful job-related situations that we can all relate to.

Firstly, Michael shows motivation through safety and security because he was told to think about defending his teamates just as if he would defend Leigh Anne and her young son he cares a lot about. Through belongingness, Michael works hard in practice in ordor to please Leigh Anne, his coach, and his teamates so they can win together as a team. Michael also has self-actualization when he begins to defend his quarterback and teamates only after Leigh Anne motivates him. She tells Michael that he can defend his teamates just like he defends her family. By telling him this, he realizes his self-worth and what he needs to do in order to help his team win.

The movie, The Help, is based on the book written by Kathryn Stockett. It was released in 2011 and directed by Tate Taylor (Taylor, 2017). The Help is set in Jackson, Mississippi in the 1960’s, and it is about the experiences black women had as maids for white families. These women decided to risk it all and tell their stories in an effort to show what is was really like for them (Taylor, 2011). The Help illustrates how these women fought racism and prejudice by becoming unified with one another. This paper will address how prejudice, discrimination, stereotyping, and inequality affect the characters and their relationships in the story.
The movie A Beautiful Mind is one that offers psychologists with a lot of fodder to think about and its storyline brings out various aspects of psychology that can be analyzed to bring a more conclusive close to this debate. The thesis statement of this essay is that psychological disorders need to be understood independently of various factors such as biological and environmental factors. This is because the world of psychology has always tried to attach the above factors to various psychological disorders but I strongly feel that psychological disorders need to be understood and analyzed independently so as a true and deeper understanding of these disorders comes to the fore. The movie A Beautiful Mind is about a genius mathematician Nash who has a psychological disorder, which is later diagnosed to be paranoid schizophrenia. The effects of this disorder are evident in the movie and the essay tries to see how the need to study psychological disorders independently could be helpful in helping various examples of cases such as that of John Forbes Nash.
