The first nice deed I did for someone was pay for my friend’s meal when we went out to eat. I performed this deed because I didn’t want them to worry about paying for their food. When I gave the cashier my card, expressing that I wanted to pay for both meals, my friend was shocked and said “thank you” multiple times. After completing the nice deed, it made me want to continue to do it. The next kind deed I did was hold the door for someone as we both were walking out of the same building. I wanted to practice this act because I would want someone to do the same deed for me. As the individual came through the door, they kindly said “Aww thank you!” By holding the door, I felt very warm inside by the reaction I received from the person. To continue, the third action I took to make someone’s day better was doing the dishes for my mom. Although it is a chore to be done in the house, I was happy that I could take a load off of her plate. After the dishes were washed and put away, she came in my room and said, “thank you, Nay.” Knowing that I didn’t have to wash the dishes right then, I was glad to see my mom could take the time that she wanted for herself.
The fourth nice deed I did was complement a girl on her hairstyle. Although she already knew this, I was prompted to complement her because I wanted her to know how gorgeous she looked. After giving her the complement, she stated that she liked my outfit. By saying that, it put a smile on my face. Lastly, the fifth kind deed I completed was encouraging my best friend when she was upset. I performed this act because I wanted to see my friend rise from the emotions she felt in that moment. After talking for a few minutes, she came to the realization that she has the power to control her feelings. It made me feel good that she took the time to see that within herself. In brief, I do think that my life would change if doing one good act a day was a requirement. I think it would continue to soften my heart to feel and understand how myself along with other people want to be treated on a daily basis. I chose the image of a message sent to my best friend due to it showing a portion of the uplifting words that were spoken.

When it comes to the “Eros” style of love, I scored a 1.3 on the scale. In comparison to the 2.3 scoring expectation for the female gender, it is shown that I have a greater opportunity to receive physical preferences along with an intense amount of emotion in my future relationship. As it relates to deceiving a lover, I scored a high of 4.9 on the scale for this style of love. As a relate to the score of the female gender, it is very unlikely for me to obtain this form of love. To continue, I earned a 2.3 for the “Storge” style of love. With the normal score being a 2.5, I am in the range of welcoming a strong friendship in my relationship. Similarly, I attained a 2.3 for planning the partner I desire to have. As a 2.8 was set for females, I am at a increased rate for the “Pragma” style of love. Moreover, in regard to the “Mania” form of love, I scored a close score of 3.1 as most women. With referring to the nondemanding love, I earned a 2.7 on the scale. While being a relatively high number in comparison with the female norms, it is said that this form of love with be low in my romantic relationship.
To follow, I agree with all my scores except for the “Mania” and “Agape” style of love. I say this due to the fact that as a person I hope to be in healed and whole position to not be uncertain with myself nor my future spouse. In regard to “Agape” love, I hope to exhibit non-demanding traits towards the one I am in relationship with. Equally important, when it comes to my future spouse, I desire to keep our relationship strong with a low score in Eros, Storge, Mania, and Agape type of love. Specifically, I hope to build a strong friendship with my husband in order for our foundation to be strong in our beliefs and values. In brief, the image I chose to represent this assignment was a drawing of the graph on page five. The graph displays the male and female norms for the various styles of love.

With being on the other side of the lens in the images that I chose, it felt great to capture a photo of my loved ones and I together. The first photo I chose was of my mom and I, representing me as a daughter. With the many pictures and videos, we have taken over the years, the image displays us dressed nicely with big smiles on our faces. The picture represents me as a daughter because it shows the strong bond I have with my mother. The next image I chose was of me and my best friend, representing me as a good friend. The photo was taken before we walked into the Chrysler Museum. The image represents me as a best friend because it displays the devotion my friends and I take to cultivate a healthy relationship with one another. To follow, the photo I chose to represent me as a sibling was of me and my sister. The image was taken on Thanksgiving while the family talked around the table. With not having many pictures together, this photo exhibits us getting along and creating memories with one another.
To continue, the image I chose to represent me as a student was me by my car before walking to the building where my class was held. I selected this picture because it includes all my necessities before going to school. This includes my keys, mask, and the supplies in my bookbag. Another image I selected was my grandma and I on Christmas day. The image is significant because it is one of the pictures, I have of us before my grandmother passed away. Moreover, the last image I chose was a screenshot of an edited YouTube video. This photo is relevant because it displays what and who I am on my free time. In brief, I selected the picture of my grandmother and I because it gives me the opportunity to reflect on all the good times we had when she was alive.

Representativeness Heuristic
Representativeness Heuristic is a type of judgment stating that if a situation, item, or person appears to be a certain way, then it must be. One aspect that is used to determine this type of reasoning is prototypes. This allows the individual to group the characteristics of the situation or person together to determine whether their assumption about it is accurate. However, the challenge with this type of heuristic is that the individual may discount the overall occurrence of the specific event happening.
A personal example of the Representativeness Heuristic is losing a piece of clothing from my closet. Normally, it is easy for me to assume that my sister took that item when in reality I have misplaced it, or I placed it in the laundry. This demonstrates Representativeness Heuristic because it suggests that a particular event took place. The problem with this type of judgement is ignoring how often my sweater is missing. I chose the image of my sweater because this is the piece of clothing that tends to go missing on a regular basis.
Availability Heuristic
Availability Heuristic is the type of judgement that states, if an illustration suddenly appears in an individual’s mind than the thought will occur on a regular basis. As thoughts appear in the person’s mind, they are seen as extreme. To continue, one of the issues presented in this type of heuristic is the individual being deceived by the intense idea that was formed. This may result in the person thinking that something over the top will take place, when in fact it won’t.
A personal example of the Availability Heuristic is when people would cough or sneeze around me at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. By doing this, I would automatically assume they had or would get the virus. Sometimes I even took it as far as seeing myself in the house for the rest of the year. This represents Availability Heuristic due to the quick images that appeared in my mind. In brief, by magnifying the ideas in my mind it caused me to be anxious when around other people. I chose the image of a mask because it represents what we now have to wear due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Anchoring & Adjustment:
Anchoring and Adjustment Heuristic is the type of decision making that starts at a given number but varies until an agreement is made. One benefit to this form of reasoning is each party is reaching the desired outcome. However, this type of heuristic may place fear in the individual due to them not knowing the value that will be given at the beginning nor where it will end. Another way this form of decision making can be determined is anchoring and in-adjustment. This way of thinking can be demonstrated through the Portion Size Effect. The act occurs when an individual’s food intake increases or decreases when more or less food is placed in front of them.
A personal example of the Anchoring and In-adjustment is the amount of food I received from room service versus what I ate from it. While on vacation, I ordered salmon and vegetables. From the amount that was given, I only ate a small piece of the salmon from it. This exhibits the Food Portion Effect by starting at a certain amount of food and eating less than what was given. The fear in this Anchoring and Adjustment Heuristic was not being able to finish the amount of food placed in front of me, though it was a small serving. I chose this image because it shows the portion size of the salmon and vegetables.
Status Quo Heuristic:
Status Quo Heuristic is the type of judgement that makes people think that one way of doing or seeing a particular thing is beneficial than any other way. Similar to the Availability Heuristic, the individual’s choices may be seen as appealing if they are being presented in the mind frequently. This results in an individual’s preference inclining their senses to something new. On the other hand, it can lead to an incorrect inference made by the person due to poor judgement on what is seen as “delightful”.
One personal example of the Status Quo Heuristic is enjoying the older model of an iPhone rather than finding interest in the newer model. With having the iPhone 11 Pro Max, I am satisfied with the physical features that are presented on it versus the iPhone 12. For example, I enjoy having my phone fit in the palm of my hand and the rounded shape on the corners. This demonstrates the Status Quo Heuristic because I am choosing something that is older than that which is new. The dissatisfaction that may occur with the iPhone 11 is the quality of the camera compared to the newer version of the phone. I chose this image due to portraying the size difference in the iPhone 11 Pro Max with the iPhone 12.
