Social Psychology As A Whole

Social psychology and personality psychology both came into fruition around the same time – the 1920’s and 1930’s. Needless

Overall, it seems like there are many people in society now living in our present life. Their society is developing and improving a little bit because of people at the bottom with shackled hands whom are under the influence of the three figures who have a bigger dream and look at higher world. Each of them in the painting has an object on their hands. These seem to be important clues to interpret this painting. One is holding a book, second is holding a jar or flask and third one is holding handwriting, directing or measuring tools of an architect with compass. And there is a globe

This essay aims to explore and describe some of the key studies within Social Psychology and show why social psychology is still important within the science of psychology today. Social psychology was once described by Allport (as cited in Lindzey & Aronson, 1985, p.5) as, “the scientific study of how people’s thoughts, feelings and behaviours are influenced by the actual, imagined or implied presence of others”. One of the first psychologists to study social psychology was Kurt Lewin. Lewin is considered the “father of social psychology” by many as he took a stand against the dominant behaviourist approach during the 1920’s through his belief that interaction between the individual and their environment is key to affecting behaviour, rather than environment alone. His revolutionary ideas matured into the study of group dynamics, which is widely used by many organisations today (Collin, 2012).

and in some cases enlist the help of a “confederate”, someone who appears to be a naïve part of

Psychodynamic Perspective- There is four major perspectives in psychology: Psychodynamic, Behaviorism, Humanistic, and Cognitive. Each theory represents a psychology approach to unlock the human mind. A psychology approach is known as a perspective; today there are many different approaches in psychology that contain specified beliefs about the mind and Human Behavior. Individually each perspective is different they have their strong points and weak points, however each perspective does represent important assumptions that were fundamentally researched with methods and questions that are used to answer inquiries in psychology regarding human behavior and the mental process.

This idea is that no matter who you are, the way you portray something is because of the things you hear before you actually see that thing. He makes me think that having a different view on things is because people always follow the rules and guidelines that they are given. One of the arguments that he makes is that we see the things how people want us to see them. He makes the argument that we pre-packaged the idea of many things in our life. I do agree with his theory because in my opinion if you have never met this person for example and your friend is always talking about them but they don't say nice things about them in the back of your head when you actually meet them. We already “know” how they are but in reality we don’t because whatever you have heard about that person might not be true. The things we hear becomes the things that are said become the truth. When I was reading the essay something confused me what role does the symbols play in the understanding of his theory? In the last example I read about the couple I find some truth in it and how we expecting something of somewhere or something can ruin our trip or our expectation of something that we are so caught up

The principles and theories of Social Psychology are important and useful in assessing behaviors in situations. These social psychological principles and their applications can be seen in fictional films which can also be attributed to everyday life. One such film that holds certain social psychological perspectives is Will Gluck’s 2010 production of Easy A. A film about high school student Olive Penderghast and how a sudden change in popularity and financial status, after an unintentional rumor about how she supposedly lost her virginity to a college guy spread through the entire her school. The film draws on the behavioral connections of pronounced hussy Olive Penderghast and her English class’s assigned reading of The Scarlet Letter.

In certain cultures, colors are considered sacred. Colors can also be considered symbolic ,especially in art. In the ,Adoption of the Human Race, the main colors are a muted blue , a shading of yellow to dark brown ,black ,white and a secondary coloring of vibrant yellows and reds. The painting is that of Native Americans. In the Native American culture the color blue signifies wisdom and confidence. The chief is depicted in all blue. The color blue correlates with the role that is personified by the chief in the painting. The sky backdrop is black , black means strength. The black sky encases both the eclipsed moon and bolt of lightning. Creation and chaos can each be infused by power. The color of the people as brown in two different shades identifies the difference in one race,male or female. The yellow ,in the Native American culture, does not embody happiness, yellow symbolizes death. In the painting, the yellow object emits a feeling of detriment. First glance, you automatically think it is the sun, but you never get a feeling of warmth . A closer look, the object depicts an explosion,doom. The yellow explosion then brings solidarity to all the components in the painting .

Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock is a horror movie. This movie was released in 1960, and it is 109 minutes long. The plotline of the movie Psycho is that a young employee, Marion Crane run away after stealing $40,000 from her office and get murdered in a motel where she was spending a night due to the strong storm. The motel was owned by a young man named Norman Bates, and he was living with his invalid mother in an old house next to the motel. It is not revealed that Norman's mother is invalid until Lila(Marion's sister) and Sam(Marion's boyfriend) decides to go to the motel in search of Marion. Lila and Sam initially hired a private detective to search Marion, but unfortunately, the detective also got killed in the motel when he found out that

This part of the painting has not one shape in common, which makes it unique and makes it stand out from the rest of the piece. All the objects look as if the painter swiftly moved the soft, bristles of the brush on the wall. Some of the shapes are plant-like, which are either green or a whitish blue color. These shapes are more near the face of this image and coming down the side of the face. Some shapes are either thin lines, dots, or larger circular shapes that almost look like a swirl. The swirl figures are all different colors and range from blue, green, pink, orangish red, yellow, and some black. The swirls are randomly throughout, but each of them connect or in some way touch another swirl or figure. Beneath the swirls is a light tan color that is the wall that the piece has been created on. This part of the painting beside the face reminds me of what is happening inside a person’s head. The colorful patterns and shapes reflect just how amazing the brain might be functioning because of everything that is stored in their heads. For example, creativity, knowledge, emotions, and so much more that make each person unique in their own way. This part of the piece has so many different colors and shapes it represents the different things that humans, and the girl in this particular piece, have constant, active

The contrast of the loose application of paint in the background to a more rigid foreground helps carry this illusion in the composition. The strategic arrangement of the figures also contributes to the breakdown of the social order. The fair-skinned woman is clearly placed in front; she occupies a larger space than her servant who’s placed behind her. This deliberate placement of figures substantiates the idea of racial hierarchy. We see a plate of inscription on the lower left corner of the painting that is elucidating the scene. There are several letters positioned near certain objects throughout the composition. The content of these objects are explained in text, which also supports the idea that the artist wishes the viewer to grasp a certain meaning from the work. These annotations aid the artist’s manifestation of the New World and an idealized social

Sociology and psychology is the study of the mind and the environment around us which makes us who we are. These theories assist us to understand behaviour from individual and societal levels.

In the future, I ultimately intend to be a psychologist. With being a psychologist, I am taking on the responsibility on how to lead people into having an overall better life and promote positive change for them. Psychologists often specialize in studying and examining the brain and human behavior. That being said, psychology is a very important branch of science that attempts to help us stay sane!

What judgments do we make about others? Everyday we make judgments in our social interactions about why others act the way they do, which is known as

The middle of the image drawn between oval mirror and the girl act like a barrier between a woman's desire and her limitations portraying woman as lover, and the face painted in pale white, and dark yellow color used for the head describes the power of a woman sometime called as the energy circles. The belly between the reflection in the oval mirror and the girl
