My initial course expectation was a little off based on the actual outcome. I don’t feel I have achieved all of the objectives for this course. My attitude towards social psychology has change a lot because I have a better understanding of what social psychology actual is. There are a couple of things I would change if I took this class over again. The first thing I would do differently is do complete more of the assignments.

After reading the article I found it interesting and a little unsettling to know the sexual conflict can sometimes lead to stalking after a breakup. It was also interesting to learn that most sexual conflict arises after marriage. I feel as though one way men upset women is that men can sometime be selfish, or another way a man can upset or irritate women is by not respecting when a women says no. A way women can irritate or upset a man is by not being straight forward about certain feeling that they have.

The difference between self regulation and emotional intelligence is that self regulation is using self awareness to keep negative impulses under control where emotional intelligence means to be aware. To me emotional intelligence means to self aware about ones emotions. One way I display my knowledge of my own EQ is by know what situations are going to heighten my negative emotions.

Before watching this ted talk I did also ways noticed the ads used to sale women’s products. Ads used to sale women’s products do use the sexualization of a women to make women buy certain products, and also some products do use certain women to sell products also. A lot of ads use tall, skinny, blonde hair, blue eyed women to sell products such as weight loss pills or weight loos plans.

One thing I did and will continue to do is I read the chapters first write down questions about what I read before review the chapter Powerpoints located in black board. I did do the review sheet a week prior to the exam 1. I felt as though this was extremely helpful because I didn’t feel like I was cramming information, and it wasn’t to overwhelming. I felt super prepared for the exam doing the review sheet a week before the exam. I think I will continue using this strategy was really using and something that I will continue to use in different classes and in the future.

I think music has a way of building new and stronger relationships between you and other people. I do feel as though I share similar values and ideals as the article. My friends, family, and I all share similar interest in music, and we each share music between each other. The first song I would chose to associate with a key person in my life would be Rage by Rico Nasty. I chose this song because it is very chaotic it explains the relationship between my brother and I. The next song I associate with a key person in my life is Pretty Brown Eyes by Mint Condition. I chose that song because when I was younger my mom would sing that sing to me all the time. 20 something by SZA is a song I would associate with myself because I feel as though I am in a place in life where I don’t really know what I am doing or if this is what I want to do. The next song I would chose to associate with key people in my life would be Free Mind by Tems because our friendship is a judge free zone and we can talk to each other about any and every thing.

One way I feel as though this course could help me in the future is by having a better understanding on the human interactions with others and their attitude changes. My expectations for this course is to learn more about the psychological behaviors of human when it comes to building relationships and close bonds with other people. A strategies that I intend on using to have success in the course is to look over the material thoroughly and to take notes in a way that makes it easier to study them.
