After reviewing what I reviewed in Blog 1, I realized that I have learned a lot over this course, although I expected it to be a little different than this. I wanted this course to help me reach my goal of becoming a school counselor, and it did just that and more. I believe my attitude towards social psychology has not changed for the most part because it was everything I expected it to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I was to take this course over, I would just get ahead in assignments because when something tragic happens, you really fall behind and it is no way to truly make up for what you missed. Although I I did very well on my tests, I managed to slip on all of the assignments because I was battling with covid-19 first, then I got strep throat right after. I don\u2019t believe it is my fault for the grade I\u2019ll receive, but I just wish professors were more understanding in times like this. Overall, this class has taught me a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to emotional intelligence, self-regulation is the ability to control impulses and moods. Self-regulation is also the ability to think before you act when you are emotionally involved in a situation. Emotional intelligence, in my opinion, means the ability to control and manage emotions so you can relieve stress or learn to stay positive in frustration situations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I could improve my EQ by first, observing how I react to people. There are times I tend to react before I think, and I end up saying or doing things I may regret later. I also need to take the time to examine how I react in stressful situations. By examining how I react in stressful situations, I would be doing a self-evaluation which could ultimately impact how I display my EQ all around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This picture represents a credible and reliable source because it is recommended by a dentist who has had multiple years of experience with teeth, toothpaste, and cosmetic dentistry. The statements presented in this advertisement are the type that viewers want to see and trust in a doctor who has experience in what they are advertising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I would say this ad is a non-credible source because it portrays that a person could lose weight without dieting. Granted, it may be possible, but there is no way possible a person could lose up to 30 pounds without creating a diet plan for themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This picture represents an attractive source because it is a very well-known celebrity, Beyonce, on the cover. Beyonce is an extremely famous celebrity who is known for her great looks, great music, and her wealth. Majority of the audience would be easily persuaded by this advertisement. This makes this source an attractive one as most people are more inclined to support their favorite celebrities in advertisements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Based on the grade of exam 1, I did exceptionally well. I did not do too well in my classes over the summer, so I made it a priority to be organized this semester so I would not fall behind. I have every assignment listed in my planner so I know when everything is due and when I will have the time to study for exams. This planner has kept me organized and being that I had a whole weekend free to study for the exam, it helped a lot! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on the article, I completely agree that there is a connection between music and relationships. My boyfriend and I have bonded in a variety of ways over the years based on our music preferences. I also have a group of girl friends and we bond over our similar taste in music as well. My girl friends and I share majority of the same values and ideals so I believe that is why we have very similar preferences in the music we choose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have one song that I have been listening to everyday because it reminds me that no matter what may be going on in my life, I will rise up and get through it. Rise Up by Andra Day is such an inspirational song to my friends and I. Every morning, someone in our group chat will send the song just to start the day off with some inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Based on the General-Self Efficacy Scale, I can honestly say that I am not a very confident person. The results of this scale did not surprise me however, because my low self-esteem has been an issue in my life for a while now. Based on the GSE, my score was 25, which indicated a lower perceived general self-efficacy. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I have been trying to get better as a student overall. I have always been a very organized person, but I procrastinate a lot. Instead of completing assignments the day that they are due, I sometimes now try to complete them ahead of time so I will not fall behind if an unexpected event occurs. The self-efficacy results relate to me because I can say I am not a person that will do well when something unexpected happens. I like to have everything planned out at all times, so I do not do well with situations that happen unexpectedly.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
