BLOG 10

Looking back at blog 1 I definitely accomplished what I wanted to. I fully understand how social psychology affects your day to day life and I have a good understanding of the subject. I think for the most part I have achieved the course objectives, especially relating concepts to the real world. If I took this class again I would definitely have been better and remembering due dates. I think over the course of this semester I have grown academically by getting better study habits. This course forced me to study because there is no in class time. This class has helped me a lot with time management this was my first online class as well as my first football season and juggling both was difficult but helped me developed my time management skills which will benefit me in the future. I included a picture about time management below to highlight how this class helped me with that.

over the course of this semester I have learned a lot from this class. I have learned about how I and others interact with people. Blog 3 taught me about how much music affects my day to day life. Assignment 2 showed me how I represent myself to others. Blog 8 gave me a different perspective on relationships and I learned more about how they work.

Blog 7 and blog 2 are related because they both made me take a test and analyze he results and see how they applied to my life.Both of these assignments gave me useful feedback.

Something I learned about in another class was emotional intelligence.I learned about emotional intelligence in health psychology and learned about how your emotions can affect your well being.

I chose this image to represent my organizational process in how I boiled down what I learned this semester. I had a lot off information thrown at me but I had to find what was most important and relate things to each other.

The article about mating and sexual conflict was very interesting and made me look at relationships a different way.From having pasts relationships something that I have noticed that women do that upsets men is overreacting to certain problems. Something that men do that upsets women is hide things from them. I included images of both of these things below.

I think emotional intelligence and self regulation go hand in hand. Emotional intelligence is your ability to control and express your emotions. Self regulation is being able to control yourself and your thoughts. Both emotional intelligence and self regulation are both important for relationships in your life and dealing with people on a daily basis. I think I display my emotional intelligence on a daily basis with my teammates whether it be if problems arise between us or just talking to them in the locker room. I think I do a good job of controlling my emotions. I think I could do a better job of being more patient with people.

The Killing us softly video was very surprising to me. I did notice prior to watching the video how women were portrayed as objects in advertisement but I did not realize how frequently this was happening. The video showed me how women are viewed by others and are shown as only objects by the media. In the 5 advertisements below I noticed that in all of them all of the women shown are very skinny. They are showing this as being the ideal body for women.

I got a 76 on exam one. To prepare for this test I studied my notes and the textbook and looked up some examples of concepts I had a particularly hard time understanding. What I think I should have done was study more of the exam review. I skimmed through the exam review the day before I took the test rather than reviewing it the whole week. I also think I should have studied in advance instead of cramming. I think on the next exam is I review the review sheet thoroughly and study in advance I will be much more prepared for the test. I used the picture below to show how I felt while preparing for the test.

BLOG 3

Music is a very important part of my life that I sometimes overlook or take for granted. I listen to music everyday and so do most of my friends and family. I think that there is a huge connection between musics and relationships. A lot of my friends share the same music taste as me and I even notice that I am starting to have the same taste in music as my parents. Music is always a centerpiece of conversations with my friends and family . The songs I picked to go with the people were songs that reminded me of them. For example, I chose no weapon by Fred hammond because it reminded me of a prayer I frequently say with my mom. I chose a picture of three birds to represent my life outlook. In the song Bob Marley talks about how things will fall into place, similar to how I try to approach life.

SOUNDTRACK

Life outlook- Three little birds- Bob Marley

Mom- No weapon- Fred hammond

Mom- Everything is love- the carters

Dad- Is this love- Bob marley

Me- Headlines – drake

Brothers- Forever- drake

I view myself as a very capable student and think I handle everything well when it comes to school that is thrown my way and am able to adjust to things quickly. On the self efficacy scale I scored a 34. I am very confident I can handle any task I need to accomplish. One are I think I have room for improvement in is remaining calm when facing difficulties. I am usually okay about doing this but sometimes get overwhelmed. I used the picture above to show my self efficacy and how I approach tasks. I believe that if you have a mindset that you will accomplish any task you will be able to do it.

After viewing the course objectives I hope to learn this year how social psychology affects people on a day to day basis and specifically how it affects my life. Im also hoping to get a clearer understanding of exactly what social psychology is.To ensure I am successful in this class I am going to have good study habits and review the material repeatedly to ensure I fully understand it
