Throughout this class I did learn a lot that I will definitely use in my future field of psychology. I feel like I moderately completed the course objectives when it comes to keeping on task with the information at hand. I would be lying if I said I was one hundred percent with learning every objective but the one that I did learn will stick with me. When I was first in this class I thought it would be boring but I actually found it to be really enjoyable and productive. If I took this class again I would change my creativeness with my WordPress site and make it better. Academically I feel like I have gotten out of my procrastination ways since the due dates for our assignments were so organized. I tended to keep to a good schedule so that I knew when to complete each assignment in the class and that is one thing I know I can take out of this class.

In this class I have learned a great deal of information that I can use in the real world. My top 3 things that I’ve learned is social perception, self stereotypes and how to love another person. Out of all three of them I think the one that will most affect my life is social perception because no matter what I do or where I go there will always be this social factor to it. I feel like there will never be a time where people will not have a social interaction and make assumptions and judge someone based on how they look.
A theory that I think can be applied to another course is the stereotypes. I take theories of personality and in that class having a certain view on someone can change how you interact with a certain person. When it comes to stereotypes they will always be there and people will use them in order to have a certain personality or avoid it. I also think the outlook on love can be applied to that class because someone’s personality can have a great impact on whether or not someone will fall in love with someone else. If someone has a weird personality and you are someone who is classic and always on task then you will most likely not go for the person who is weird.
Throughout this course I’ve grown to love the way social psychology is represented and could possibly see a future in this field of study.

After reading the article I can see how there is this view of sexual conflict that occurs after a couple gets married. Most of the time once people decide to tie the knot most of the sexual desire that you had before becomes extinct. I think this is because people know that their partner is attached to them legally and cannot leave as quickly as they got married. This causes a rift in the sexual part of many relationships and could ultimately be the reason for divorce. A few ways that men upset women is when they cheat, flirt, or engage in inappropriate behavior with another woman. I feel like women have a more emotional connection with these things because of jealousy. I think one main reason that women upset men is when they actually have sex with another person because there is a physical connect that occurs which could turn emotional. Of course this does not include every man and woman but it does happen often.
This is the one that represents a man upsetting a woman.
This one represents a woman upsetting a man.

Self Regulation is when you control your emotions to fit a certain situation. It is usually your initial emotion to a situation that occurs. An example of this could be when you hear a secret that is not what you wanted to hear and you get really upset about it. That initial reaction can be deescalated by calming your breathing and stepping away from the situation. Emotional Intelligence is when you are aware of your emotions or the emotions of someone else. The point of emotional intelligence is to know and manage your emotions without thinking too much about it. An example of this is when you are listening to someone else talk and you understand what they are saying without thinking too much into it. For both of these to coexist you have to first have an emotion and then become aware of the emotion and try to calm it down. For me emotional intelligence is important because being able to control my emotion in different situations has made me be able to keep a lot of relationships at bay. Although I do not always keep my emotions in a good enough state I know that I can find a good way to manage them if that same situation were to happen again. I feel like a way that I could improve my EQ is to try out some of the techniques the woman was speaking about in the video. For about 3 years I have been doing the 10 second senses and breathing exercise. In this exercise you are supposed to look at someone you can feel, taste, smell, hear, and see and then count to ten. Being aware that those things are around you helps regulate your emotions and calms them down.

This Hulu advertisement is because it has elements to it that you can easily find information about. Not only is it a add for Hulu, it has other channels including HBO Max, Showtime, and STARZ which are all other credible sites to watch different show genres. The ad is very trustworthy and will guide you to a new way of looking at entertainment.
This is an example of a non credible advertisement about Botox. This advertisement can be perceived as non credible because it only gives a few details and not much information about the treatment. The use of a picture could also make it less credible because it gives off the look that the person in the ad did in fact use Botox but that can not be easily identified by just looking. There is also no other source that can back up the claim of the Doctor performing the procedures.
This advertisement is considered attractive because it looks at its upmost best. The way the sandwiches are placed strategically so they look edible and are taken with natural light catches the eye of the person looking at it. Having the big bold print at the top also drives the eye right to the source to stop anyone in their tracks. Not to mention the bright red and yellow of the McDonalds franchise which is it’s most liked quality. I believe this source is attractive because it will grab anyone with an empty stomach’s attention and make for a great breakfast, lunch, or even dinner!

I wish I could say I was prepared for exam one but in reality I was not at all. One thing l would change is how I wrote my notes and the way I studied them. I am someone who needs to study with another person in order to understand my notes. For this exam I tried to just read the notes l wrote without having them read and questioned. I like to have questions with my notes so it is easier to learn a topic. Although the jeopardy videos did help I still needed that extra push to understand the material. For the next exam I plan to make studying the correct notes a priority and writing them down in a way that is completely understandable to me. I will do this just in case I do not have someone to study with and I hope it helps a lot. My next test score will definitely go up from the grade I got on my first exam.
This is a guide I plan to use in order to help me my next exam. Link to Photo: https://in.pinterest.com/pin/797066834029288363/

I have always thought about how people can be drawn to one another through their music taste. I feel like people can become connected through music because there is a thin line between the two. The first connection comes when you listen to the song alone and understand what it is saying and getting that deeper connection. Then I feel like when people have someone else who always gets goosebumps when a certain song comes on, people will be able to vibe with one another. I know from personal experience that music tastes can be a deal breaker with forming deeper relationships because if someone cannot understand why I appreciate a song then I don’t feel like our relationship can be strong. Of course that is a very crazy thing to say but in my life it helps me form solid, long lasting relationships. When it comes to music I always feel like it breaks the ice between you and a certain someone depending on the situation. Although it may not end the same every time, it can definitely help with building relationships.
My Personal Playlist:
- My Friends from High School- Love Faces by Trey Songz– at a certain time in middle school my friends and I decided to create a remix to this song and we all still laugh about it to this day.
- My Boyfriend- Say You Won’t Let Go by James Arthur and Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran- if you listen to these two songs it’ll explain my boyfriend and I’s relationship. We’ve been dating since 7th grade so something must be going right!
- My Mother- Dear Mama by Tupac Shakur– I love singing this song when my mom is around because even though she doesn’t like rap music she can feel the love that Tupac had for his mom and that resonates with me to her.
- My Aunt- You Got It by Vedo– whenever this song comes on my aunt and I will sing it at the top of our lungs because we know our worth.
- My “goosebumps” giving song- As the World Caves In by Matt Maltese and Take Me to Church by Hozier– whenever I listen to these two songs I get immediate chills throughout my body because the artist’s voices are so powerful and the meaning is powerful.
- My siblings- We Are Young by F.U.N.– we played this song when we were younger and were playing with our toys and this was the song we used as our toys were going back to our Barbie Dream House as the “last song of the night”.
I created this using an app called procreate. I downloaded the album covers/art and put them together in a way that makes sense.

When it comes to being a full time student I try my hardest to stay on task and get all of my assignments completed on time. I believe I am a pretty ambitious and responsible student who likes to be on track. Whenever I feel like my confidence goes down I will usually find a inspirational quote online and write it on a sticky note. I’ve been sticking them on my mirror since I was in high school and it really helps me mentally. I will also write about what is troubling me in a journal so that I can get it off my mind. After taking the GSE test I realized I am moderately confident in myself and can do most things that I put my mind to. I did not have many things that I thought challenged me which was actually surprising. Overall, I attain a stable mind to stay a great student.

When it comes to learning I am a visual learner and can usually do things after I have wrote down corresponding notes. The most exciting thing I am looking forward to in this class is the way that people interact with one another. I’ve always wondered how people are able to form connections just with a simple greeting. Whenever I think about social psychology I feel like it deals a lot with the mind and personality of others in order to fully understand. I also cannot wait to see how people are able to keep relationships for years without one thing messing it up. Overall, I am thrilled to be in this class and can’t wait to learn more as the semester goes on.
