It can be postulated that the Joker is in fact an individual who has become fixated on one of these stages; more specifically the oral stage. This hypothesis stems from the observation that he consistently licks his lips through the duration of the film. Freud's theory would suggest that he does this as a way to feel pleasure or comfort. For instance, during the interrogation scene with Batman it is evident that the Joker is anxious and constantly licks his lips, perhaps as a way to diminish his feeling of anxiety ( De La Noy & Nolan, 2008). The question that remains is why is the joker fixated at this stage? Could it be due to his traumatic experience? Does the pleasure associated with this horrible experience have anything to do with his psychopathic nature? Unfortunately, the responses to these questions are entirely based on the different interpretations each individual has and, therefore; the true answers may never be known.

Shawn Spencer would continually call in tips to the police department when he was watching the local news. This lead the detectives at the time to believe that he was involved in the crimes. When called in for questioning, Shawn pretended to be a psychic in order to avoid jail time for intervening in a police investigation. He later was hired onto the Santa Barbara police department as the lead psychic investigator and had to continue this charade to avoid being prosecuted. However, being drawn to police work didn’t start with just calling in tips. When growing up, Shawn Spencer’s dad, the former head detective, trained his son to be exceptionally observant. After being hired, he solved a variety of crimes with his best friend, by being outgoing, snooping through evidence, being hypervigilant, and with the use of self-regulation.

Regarding the film Zootopia, there are several social psychological concepts that were explained in the events. Throughout the film, subtle but offensive comments and actions are unintentionally and unconsciously directed toward the non-dominant group (predators) and the protagonist of the film, Judy Hopps, encounters those macroaggressions throughout the story. As the film progressed, the police force became increasingly fearful and pejorative of the predator group in the city, which drew similarities to the attitudes exhibited by law enforcement officers in American society. Attitudes provide an association between a concept and an evaluation, whether it is favorable or unfavorable, desirable or undesirable, positive or negative. In addition, attitudes can be classified as automatic or deliberate. In comparison to the reflective responses (also called explicit attitudes) that individuals exhibit, the (automatic) implicit attitudes are relatively inaccessible to control and conscious awareness.

To start off we’ll begin with Campbell’s first stage of the Hero’s Journey. According to his theory, the story must begin where the hero was once normal. To define normal regarding the Flash, the Flash would have had to be someone who existed without any powers, living a regular citizens’ life, and oblivious of the adventures to come. So before Barry became known as the Flash, he was first known as Barry Allen. Barry valued family, justice, and the safety of everyone. He was a regular citizen who worked for Central City’s police department as a Police scientist, too. With the following being stated, we can conclude Barry was already a hero before his special powers. First, Barry is working to fight justice as an employee of Central City’s police department. Secondly, he enjoys fighting for justice in general. And lastly, considering Barry’s personality and values he isn’t selfish for power, disrespectful, dishonest, and greedy like most villain characters. However, according to Campbell’s Hero’s Journey process, Barry

Looking back on it now I see so many more connections to psychology then when I first saw it. One of them is there portrayal of the nature vs nutrure debate. In flash backs before the death of his mother, Dexter and his brother Brian are show being very nice and normal kids. Then after both of them see their mother murdered in front of them they grow up to be killers themselves. Now this could be interpited as the show being pro nurture; however, the fact that both of them are brothers opens up the argument that it was there genetics that was the qulperite for their

2) Isolation/causation. Isolation is if only thing changing is that which is being manipulated whether up or down, then the change in effect is caused by the change in IV (the thing manipulated). It is harder to get isolation from psychology, than that from physical experiments. In experiments, even in a double blind study, the IV and subjects are changing. This can prove to make things even more difficult when the DV is based on the subject, the change on the DV may be due to difference in samples and not on changes due to the IV. Where a confounding variable is the environment or situation, the difference in subjects such as age or gender is a subject variable. This is important to note the differences as subject difference Subject variables

The movie Shutter Island presents wrenching twists and turns from a psychological state of mind. The author of the story, Lehane, makes it certain that the psychic mind of the main character helps to enhance the plot of the story. The darkness of the story is based off of the year nineteen fifty-four to drive the setting of the story. Throughout the film, clues are given that eventually give way to the realization of reality. When the story begins in medias res, it helps engage the audience and jumpstart theories. Manipulation is a present factor used throughout the story with both the audience and the characters to create a thrilling story.
