• Commented on Stresssssss
  I thought I was stressed out! After I calculated my score on the Social Readjustment Rating Scale, I realized that I wasn't that stressed out after all. This subject was one of the few subjects in psychology that I feel...
• Commented on Advertising and Classical Conditioning
  This was an interesting topic in psychology. I think that we all knew about classical conditioning, but just hadn't really looked into it before psychology. For instance, if you've had a dog before you'll know that as soon as you...
• Commented on Conforming
  I agree that Ash's study about conformity was very interesting! It was funny to watch, but probably not fun to participate in. I thought that it was interesting to see the reactions, frustration, carelessness, and even sadness of people. The...
• Commented on Memorable Psychology Topic
  I definitely agree that social psychology is extremely interesting. I especially loved learning about conformity and obedience. I like that you wrote about social psychology as looking at the bigger picture because I never thought about it that way, but...
• Posted Who else wants to major in Psychology!?!? to Psychology 1001 Sections 10-11 Spring 2012
  When I'm sitting in my math class, chemistry, writing, or Spanish class, I feel like I'm not getting what I really want to get out of them. As a student, I'm very aware of the concerns of the quality of...
• Posted Asian Parents are STRICT! to Psychology 1001 Sections 10-11 Spring 2012
  I've grown up having two of the most strict parents ever! I couldn't hang out with boys (if you're a guy, you're automatically considered a boyfriend), go out late on a weekend (even when I turned 18), still have to...
• Posted Have you had a demon visit you at night??? to Psychology 1001 Sections 10-11 Spring 2012
  From the title of my blog, you were probably able to tell that I was going to blog about sleep paralysis. This is described as a strange experience of being unable to move just after falling asleep or immediately upon...

• Commented on Parenting Styles
  I agree that we need to do more research outside of just the typical Caucasion middle class families. There are obviously other ethnic backgrounds in the U.S. I don't know if you can pick a best style for parenting, but...
• Commented on Throw our IQ/Standardized Testing
  This is so true!!! I definitely agree! I hate standardized testing. I don't test well and it's as simple as that. It doesn't mean that I'm not a hard worker nor the other majority of students who don't test well....
• Commented on Liar liar
  This is so sad, but so true. I felt for awhile like I was the only one who knew about this. As soon as I read this in the textbook, I was really relieved that a lot of other students...
• Commented on The Definition of Beauty
  I've never seen this show(if it is), but it seems really interesting. I was just talking about this with my boyfriend the other day. In Asian countries, they value very pale and white skinned women. I think because it represents...
• Commented on Beauty and Body Piercings
  Funny that you mention differences in the value of piercings in different cultures. Most westernized cultures find lots of piercings (and might I mention tattoos) attractive. A lot of Asian countries find that one piercing on each ear lobe is...
• Commented on Relationships: how we meet our better half
  I love this show! I watch it religiously (can't wait for Emily Maynard's show!). It's very true that proximity, reciprocity, and similarity are all part of a relationship, but I have to agree with a lot of the comments above....
• Commented on Say YES to the Dress
  I love this show! I really like how you were able to use proximity, similarity, and reciprocity and relate it to Say Yes to the Dress. I was watching this show just the other day and this woman was getting...
• Commented on Alzheimers.
  I loved Planet of the Apes and The Notebook! Wow, you're the first person to think of another movie other than The Notebook. Nice job! It's so sad to know that there are people out there suffering from Alzheimer's and...
• Commented on Eliciting Emotions Through Advertisement
  Hello! I hate advertisements because they lie so much. What kind of woman they should really have on that cigarette ad is an old wrinkled looking woman, but then again it's our fault for falling for that anyway. It's not...
• Commented on Cat Speak: Beyond the Lolcat
  I thought this was so cute! I don't have a cat, but I do have a dog! He is the cutest thing ever! I think my cat and my family relate to what you're saying very well. We are like...
• Commented on Where did I put that?
  Awwe this is so sad. I feel bad for anyone with Alzheimer's. I'm just thankful that I don't know anyone with it because it would be heartbreaking to watch him/her go through it as well as myself. I found it...
• Commented on What Adults Can't Hear..Are the rumors true?
  Wow! That sounds like such a fun experiment! I know exactly what you're talking about because sometimes a person in the room's phone will go off and my teacher never hears it! It's crazy how they can miss it....
• Commented on Why The Vacuum Is Not A Friend To Your Dog
  That's so interesting! My dog is always barking at the vacuum! I never knew their hearing was so much better than ours....

• Commented on Two Twins Different Families
  Hello, I think this topic is so interesting. I would argue that both nature and nurture affect a human being. This is because I know identical twins that are complete opposites of each other! But then again, someone goes to...
• Commented on Wait I can get away with only 15 minutes a day??
  Hello! First off, I really like your picture! Secondly, I'm not so shocked about the 15 minutes a day thing because I've heard it before. Heck, I've even heard 10 min/day! But I do agree with you that it's fishy...
• Commented on Ethical Issues in Research
  Hello, I thought this topic was really interesting when I read it. I agree with you that it is really amazing how much people can get away with. I also felt that it was suspicious that all the men who...
• Posted Chapter 7- Memory to Psychology 1001 Sections 10-11 Spring 2012
  When I think of memories, I think of my high school experiences, a few middle school experiences, and a couple of elementary school experiences. Any time before that is incredibly hard for me to remember. As I was reading chapter...
