Artifact # 5: Module 10 – How Long Can You Wait?
Did you find any differences in the results? Yes I found differences in these results.
If you said “yes” in the previous question, who will you wait for the longest time and who will you wait for the shortest time? Why? The person that I will wait the longest for is my boss/client. I chose to wait for my boss and client longer because time is money, and waiting that extra couple minutes could be the difference in getting a job or not. I would wait the shortest for my best friend because I’m sure she knows me well enough to know that I hate waiting and that i’m always very punctual so I arrive early to everything, rather than late. My best friend is closest to me so she should know who I am as a person and what I like/dislike.
Artifact # 4: Module 9 – Gender Stereotypes in Occupation
There were some slight differences between mine and my partner’s responses. For example, my partner seemed to think that a Doctor would most likely be a job for men. However, I said females because this is more of a nurturing and caring profession, so I think that females are more likely to be doctor. Other that the doctor job, my partner and I agreed on everything else. I was honestly very surprised to find so many similarities between my partner and I’s responses.
Artifact # 3: Module 13 – Happiness
Happiness is one of my biggest goals in life, to be genuinely happy with my life, without all of the materialistic things. When I am thinking of happiness, the first thing that comes to my mind is my family. Being surrounded by my family makes me genuinely happy. My nephew is definitely one of the best things that has happened to me, and being around him makes me happy beyond words. My dog also makes me very happy and enjoy life a little more. I definitely think at different times in my life, the things that makes me happy changes. For example, when I was 5, dolls made me happy. When I was 13, hanging out with friends made me happy. Now at 20, being around my family is where I find most of my happiness. I definitely think that happiness plays a huge part in physical health. The energy and vibe that I get around my family and my dog definitely always puts me in a better mood, mentally, physically, and emotionally.

Did you find any association between your categorization in (1) and the results of (2)?
My category 1 included colors that were more neutral, like Black, Brown, and Gray. These colors give me a neutral and bland feeling whenever I would see them. For example, black gives me a sorrowful feeling, brown made me feel tired, and gray makes me feel gloomy. For category 2, I found these colors to be more for boys, like blue, green, and white. Blue makes me feel sad, Green made me feel lucky, and white is just a neutral color and I just feel in between. There wasn’t a lot of associations between these colors I would say, I just put them in the categories that I saw best fit.
Artifact #1: Module 3 – Intro to Culture and Psych
I decided to include a picture of a rice cooker because this represents my culture the best. It’s crazy that something so small and simple as a rice cooker can play a huge impact in my Asian culture. I chose this item because growing up in an Asian household, I eat rice everyday. I eat rice for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Even when I went off to college, I would eat rice every single day since I brought a rice cooker to college with me. Americans tend to go for breakfast food such as cereal, yogurt, eggs, waffles, and pancakes. As an Asian woman, I go for rice as my breakfast food.
