• Commented on How can you not?
  As annoying as it was that those principle questions were on every single quiz, I have to admit that I will never forget those principles. When I got to the final and was asked a question about the principles, I...
• Commented on The Psychology of Social-network Sites
  I have definitely noticed some of my "friends" posting things that I feel they would never say in person. While this can be a good way for people to express themselves, it can also be a negative thing. Due to...
• Commented on Heuristics: A Bad or Good Thing?
  I agree that while heuristics usually are helpful, they sometimes can hurt our understanding of situations. But without heuristics, our sense of the world would be much more complicated....
• Commented on When worlds collide, depend on Tom Cruise to save your life!
  I think that many of us feel that we would not be believe something as foolish as the Orson Welles broadcast, but unless you are in the situation, you do not know how you would have reacted. I think that...
• Commented on OCEAN-Personality
  I agree, personality was my favorite topic from this year because personality is something that we take into account on a daily basis. Figuring out and gauging people's personalities helps us in many different circumstances and plays a vital role...
• Posted Importance of Personality to PSY 1001 Section 02-03 Spring 2012
  If there is one thing that I have learned in Psych that will stay with me, it is personality and the "Big 5 Model" in particular. It is amazing how different every individual is, and being able to understand personality...
• Commented on I don't see how I see!!
  I think this illusion is absolutely amazing. When you look at the image as a whole it seems utterly impossible that A and B could be the same color of gray, but when I cover up the other squares and...
• Commented on A Possible Dangerous Influence
  This is really interesting because I definitely think that Group Think influences us more than we realize. I think that it is hard for a lot of people to be nonconformists and go against the norm. For example, when we...
• Commented on "Dancing in the Dark"
  Sleep walking is a very fascinating topic. I used to sleepwalk when I was younger, but I usually would wake up during the middle of sleepwalking. I always found it a very creepy and scary situation because I could never...
• Commented on Dreams: A figment of the imagination or a visual pathway into the future?
  I also have had dreams that have an uncanny resemblance to real life. I agree with Freud that dreams are a gateway into our unconscious. I do not necessarily think that our always based on real events or events that...
• Commented on Can Our Religious Faith Be Found in a Gene?
  I have never thought that religion could be traced back to nature until reading this article. I still think that religion is very largely connected with nurture, but this article really made me think. I think that spirituality and religion...
• Commented on Nature or Nurture? Maybe It's Both.
  I agree that both nature and nurture both greatly impact a child. I do not think that we will ever be able to know to what extent each has on us as individuals, but I do think that it is...
• Commented on Bigfoot, UFOS, Ghosts, and God?
  Big Foot has always fascinated me. It is amazing to think that people actually spend their lives trying to catch Big Foot. I think that Big Foot differs from God and ghosts because since Big Foot is a so called...
• Posted Real life "Parent Trap" to PSY 1001 Section 02-03 Spring 2012
  I must admit, one of my guilty pleasures is the movie "The Parent Trap." I was always fascinated by how two girls could just meet up at summer camp and realize "Oh my gosh! We are twins!" It seemed nearly...
• Posted How does language impact our thoughts? to PSY 1001 Section 02-03 Spring 2012
  Is it true that as English speakers we can view an object differently than a person who speaks German? I recently have been intrigued by the correlation between language and thought. Chapter 8 discusses language, thinking, and reasoning, but my...
