• Posted Parenting Styles to PSY 1001 section 06-07 Spring 2012
  I think I will really remember the different types of parenting styles the best. I want to have kids when I'm older and I'd obviously like to be the Authoritative type of parent, supportive of my kids and what they'd...
• Commented on concept in psychology that I'm going to remember
  Whenever I hear something and I try to tune it out I always tell myself to become habituated to it instead of sensitized to it! I will always remember this concept as well...
• Commented on Blog Post Problems
  I agree with the apathy part of your blog. It is much harder to find a solution to something you don't care about. But then how often do we actually have to find solutions to problems we don't care about?...
• Commented on The horrors of eugenics
  I was talking about eugenics with the boy I sit next to in class and we decided it could have been worse. The government already decided you couldn't procreate if you weren't smart enough but what if they came up...
• Commented on Parenting Styles
  I completely agree with you. My parents have switched their general parenting types on me a couple times. At my mom's house she was always permissive but then once I started getting older she all of a sudden was much...
• Commented on Problem Solving
  I love multiple choice problems for this exact reason. It's usually easy taking away two of the options if you at least studied and know the content of the exam and then that brings you down to a 50% chance...
• Commented on The Role of Fathers
  I come from a family of divorce and both of my parents had to take on both roles when I was growing up. When I was at my dad's he would be affectionate towards me when I needed it and...
• Posted Parenting Styles in Divorce to PSY 1001 section 06-07 Spring 2012
  I believe most parents, even if they are happily married have different ideas on how to raise their children. My parents divorced when I was young and so they got to freely express their parenting styles without compromise to the...
• Commented on Because your mother said so.
  I actually lost a couple pounds of weight by drinking eight glasses of water a day alone! I try to do it every day now....
• Commented on Cellphone Radiation
  I remember hearing about cell phones causing cancer when I was in high school. There was a specific story that stuck out to me about keeping your phone in your front pocket might possibly lead to infertility in women because...
• Commented on Still Amazed
  I would like to know more about the artists in this case, how long does it take them to draw these sidewalk chalk drawings and how do they figure out how long to make their lines and what angles and...
• Commented on Can you Hear What I Hear?
  I do find it funny that even though our brains are less developed than older people's we can hear more. You'd think it would be opposite, the more developed are brains are, the more variation in sounds and pitches we...
• Commented on Vegetable Tennis: Not as Great as it Sounds.
  I agree with you, living in a vegetative state isn't much. I would soon drive myself crazy imagining playing tennis and not being able to physically play tennis I would become very frustrated with myself....
• Commented on Mirror Mirror On The Wall
  Good post, I had never thought of when we become aware. I was never aware that I was ever unaware to what was going on around me....
• Commented on That's gonna leave a mark...
  The link didn't work for me but it sounds like a very powerful ad and a great idea on the marketers part!...
• Commented on Not-so-much Subliminal Messaging
  I've even heard that negative feelings induce more of a reaction than positive feelings. Advertisers should take that into account, but it'd be hard to do without mudslinging or it just turning ugly with the competition....
• Posted Super Sensitive Senses to PSY 1001 section 06-07 Spring 2012
  I've heard of the "Teen Buzz," or the frequency us younger people can hear as opposed to adults. I actually know some people in junior high that had their text message tone set to a high frequency pitch. Most of...
• Commented on Chapter 11 Emotion and Motivation.
  I'm an avid reader of Cosmo and my favorite articles or tidbits to read are the ones on body language and how we show emotion and speak through our body without using words, and the fact that its subconscious. I'm...
• Commented on Chapter 8: Language, Thinking, and Reasoning
  I've always wondered with bilingual people when they know in the sentence or story to switch into the other language. The speed reading you touched on seems really interesting as well! Reading certain things I find myself zooming through the...
• Commented on Lucid Dreaming (Chapter 5)
  I've woken up in a dream or become lucid during a dream and every time I tried to change something or do it my way to explore I always ended waking up all the way!...
• Commented on I'm posting this because everyone else did, Ch. 13 Social Psychology
  Social Psychology is one of the topics I'm really looking forward to covering in class! It's hard to believe on average someone has 130 good friends, learning that tidbit almost makes me want to make a list of "good friends"...
• Commented on Chapter 12: Stress, Coping, and Health
  As I read your first sentence I immediately thought, wow this chapter would be great for me to read because college really stresses me out (especially paying for it) and then you go on to say the same thing I...
• Posted Pseudoscience to PSY 1001 section 06-07 Spring 2012
  Obviously being chapter one this section gave me a brief overview of the entire book. The chapter contained enticing little bits and pieces that kept me wanting to skip to those chapters to read the more interesting things. I contained...
