For your tenth blog entry, titled Blog 10, reread what you wrote in Blog 1. <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span>Blog My initial course expectations were numerous. I\u2019ll list a few below:<\/span><\/p>\n To study of the human mind.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Understanding research and testing methods within the field of psychology and social psychology.<\/p>\n Learn the basic building blocks to further understanding of the human psyche and research methods surrounding them.<\/p>\n Learn the weight of data, accuracy, and above all transparency in research.<\/p>\n Understand the \u201cprocesses through which people perceive and attempt to understand others\u2026\u201d[ii]<\/a> and have the ability to \u201cExplain how attitudes are formed and changed, and how they are related to behavior\u201d[iii]<\/a>.<\/p>\n Add to my understanding of colleagues, patients, and forging future relationships.<\/p>\n Ability to understand everyday interactions and the process in which a hypothesis and research study is carried out.<\/p>\n Gather information that will serve as a foundation in both my future career and personal life.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Gain the capacity to openly and eloquently \u201cDiscuss the origins and effects of prejudice and discrimination\u201d[iv]<\/a>.<\/p>\n Discuss topics with background information and statistics to back up one\u2019s opinion, regarding discussing race, prejudice and discrimination.<\/p>\n Learn more about \u201c\u2026the factors that influence our liking for other individuals and that lead to the formation of close relationships\u201d[v]<\/a>.<\/p>\n Learn what exactly bonds us to certain people, why we stay close to some, yet drift from others.<\/p>\n Learn about why some people are able to emotionally open up quickly, and others stay closed off.<\/p>\n Build an understanding of human nature and the mind to support both personal and work-related relationships in my future.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sharpen my ability \u201c\u2026to make connections, or integrate learning, between courses and to outside experiences\u201d[vi]<\/a>.<\/p>\n Expand my ability to connect ideas posed in a classroom setting with real world solutions will prove instrumental to my career and personal relationships in the future.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Learn a lot.<\/p>\n Professor there for me if I need to talk to them or discuss the material.<\/p>\n Learn about other student\u2019s perspectives and be challenged with both my homework and way of thinking.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Gain a few professional friends, more knowledge than I even knew I could gain from this course, and a better understanding of social psychology as a whole.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Implement extreme agenda planning to ensure my success in this and other courses during the Fall 2019 semester.<\/p>\n Focus solely on schoolwork during my designated study hours.<\/p>\n Write down all due dates and up the due date by a couple of days in order to lower the chances of missing deadlines.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The actual outcomes of these expectations were almost all met. One that wasn\u2019t met would be to gain professional friends. This semester has been so arduous that I had nearly no time at all for anything that wasn\u2019t sleep, eating, or studying. <\/span><\/p>\n My attitude about Social Psychology has changed in that I realize there is a depth to social psychology that I was not yet aware of. Before taking this course I would have grouped social psychology together with general psychology, not truly knowing the stand out points and ideas presented within the specialty of study. <\/span><\/p>\n If I had the ability to go back in time and take this class again, I would take a lighter load of classes so that I would have more time for each class for pondering, for reading, for soaking up all of the information. <\/span><\/p>\n One way I\u2019ve grown academically over the last few months is that I now know my limit. I know how many units is too many. I respectfully will not be taking that many ever again. I realize that I do not always have the ability to get all A\u2019s in all of my classes. Some semesters I just need to make sure I pass all of my classes. Balancing life relationships and scholarly pursuits is an extreme challenge. I am still learning more everyday how to do it successfully and with grace. <\/span><\/p>\n One skill that I gained from this course that I can utilize in my professional life is balance. Making sure to write down every assignment, every due date, every tid-bit of information you can. You can never have too much information. You don\u2019t want to look back at your work, looking for a diamond in the rough of your notes, and be lacking the information needed. It\u2019s better to have a surplus of information and notes rather than a deficit. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The visual image I chose is a woman balancing it \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Image Source: <\/span>https:\/\/cdn1.thr.com\/sites\/default\/files\/imagecache\/landscape_928x523\/2013\/12\/work_balance_a_l.jpg<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n Chelsea Lembert <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Psyc 304: J. Muth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n eP: Blog 8<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Fall 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I\nthought it was interesting, a bit spooky, yet right on point that men fib in\norder to gain higher chances of engaging in sex just as more women put on a\nfront of sexual intentions in order to improve the chances of retaining\nwhatever non-sexual thing it is they desire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Men\nupset women in various ways. The ways that pop up in my mind the quickest would\nbe cat calling and objectifying. These would be almost universally\nannoying\/degrading to most women. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Women upset men in various ways as well, but I think the most common way would be to not communicate clearly or say what they want, then get upset for not receiving what they want. Some women want a man to just \u201cknow\u201d what they want. This is ridiculous and only leads to heartache. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The image I chose is that of a construction worker\ncat-calling a woman walking in the city. It is a meme that jokes about\ncatcalling by giving the construction worker some feminist things to call out\nto the woman walking by. It is so emblematic of the thing that men do that\nupsets women, but with a feminist twist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chelsea Lembert<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Psyc 304: J. Muth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n eP: Blog 4<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Fall 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n “Review the items that you answered incorrectly.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n Wow. I missed more than I\nwanted to. Of course, no one \u201cwants\u201d to miss questions, but I think I need to\ngive myself more review time to prep for exams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n After following the tip\nfrom the Study Guide to \u201clook up the correct answers to the ones you missed\u201d, I\nrealized that I made silly mistakes and may have been thrown off by the wordier\nquestions. I will combat this confusion by studying for a longer period of time\nin shorter bursts, with long enough breaks. I know that I crammed too much and should\nhave given my mind a chance to really have retention and understanding of the\nmaterial, not just simply memorization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As I mentioned above, my test taking strategy on\nthe remaining tests will involve starting to study sooner, ex: right now I am reviewing\npast material and studying current material as it comes up, not waiting for a\nbig moment to cram everything in at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What I learned from\nreviewing my grade and the questions I did not get correct on the exam is that there\nwere many questions I tripped up on simply because of wording. I also noticed\nthat near the end of the exam I may have started to wane as far as energy is\nconcerned. Next time I will ensure I\u2019m taking an exam in the morning hours and\nhave had coffee. Making sure I\u2019m taking the exam at an opportune time when\nproperly fueled after extensive studying over a longer period of time will\ngreatly help both my study habits and end results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n “Did you augment your notes as you read though the chapters?” <\/p>\n\n\n\n I did augment my notes as\nI read the chapters. This time around I will review the notes more throughout\nthe weeks rather than reviewing the all right before the exam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n “Did you space the review sheet over the week prior to the test?” <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is something I did\nnot do correctly. The review for me was too crammed and I needed to space it\nout more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For this blog I\u2019ve chosen\na sort of poster that states that tomorrow is where everything gets done. This\nposter basically is my life. As a former hard-core procrastinator turned\nplanner turned \u201cswallow the frog\u201d believer, I can attest that \u201ctomorrow\u201d that\nmagical place, always seems like a better time to study, clean, or anything you\nmay be tempted to push off. However, I have learned over the years, through many\ntrials and tribulations, that getting it, whatever it is, done today, not\ntomorrow, will not only benefit you now, but it will benefit you later. The more\nyou push for productive habits, the more easily they will come with time,\neventually coming naturally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Chelsea\nLembert<\/p>\n\n\n\n Psyc\n304: J. Muth<\/p>\n\n\n\n eP:\nBlog 3<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fall\n2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n September\n29, 2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\nguess I am not surprised that there is a strong connection between music and relationships. I have\nalways thought there was some sort of connection between people who gravitated to\ncertain music styles, but didn\u2019t quite know how to explain it, or imagine that\nit would be a scientifically backed idea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I have noticed a similarity in\nmusic preference between myself and my husband. I have noticed before that sometimes\na difference in values has also presented a difference in musical tastes. It\nwas almost like nails on a chalkboard when someone with whom I did not share a\nlot of common values shared their music with me during a long car ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now of course, or maybe not so\nobviously, I share the same ideals as my husband. We value the same things and\nplace our priorities in the same order regarding family, work, leisure time,\netc. This s even more apparent now that I am pondering our musical tastes. We aren\u2019t\nsuper similar in personality or hobbies, but we do share a love of certain\nmusic genres and definitely have shared values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ellie Goulding \u2013 How Long Will I Love You \u2013 My husband \u2013 I walked\ndown the aisle to this song being played acoustically on guitar and being sung\nby the guitar player.
