• Commented on Wait I can get away with only 15 minutes a day??
  I couldn't agree more with you. People who avoid exercising do so because they think they would have to start running 5k's right away to achieve there desired results. However, even if they start off with parking the car further...
• Commented on The Vaccine-Autism Scare
  Even though I completely feel for and understand McCarthy's pain, however, I believe that her close-mindedness, along with other people, is causing a serious risk for children who remain to unvaccinated. People like McCarthy's extreme belief perseverance shows us that...
• Commented on Titanium Necklaces (From earlier posted wrong)
  Not only do these companies make extraordinary claims but also studies show that the effects of these necklaces couldn't be replicated. And if we want to rule out rival hypothesis we could say that people's performance improved because the placebo...
• Commented on Milgram Experiment
  It was disturbing to see how most people followed orders from someone just because he was wearing a white lab coat. People went ahead and induced shocks that could have killed/caused permanent damage to someone just because an unidentified guy...
• Posted Psycosexual Development Theory ..... WOW!!! to Psychology 1001 Sections 10-11 Spring 2012
  I still cannot believe that this is my last Psych 1001 blog post. I never thought this class or semester would be over but Alas, here I am writing my final blog. Five years from now or maybe even 10...
• Commented on O.C.E.A.N.
  I use O.C.E.A.N. to generalize everyone I know's personality as well. Even though I think that people aren't predictable enough to be classified into a category with a 100% accuracy however it is interesting to see how the big five...
• Commented on Memorable Nugget from Psy1001: On not getting scammed, among other things
  I really enjoyed reading this post and the comment above as well. Social psychology is something that will stick with me forever as well. I broke my computer a few days ago and went to apple.com to buy a new...
• Commented on Memorable Topic
  The conforming video was definitely an eye opener. Everyone seems to think that they wouldn't fall prey to conforming with the majority answer, however once they're confronted with the situation, more than 75% of us would have chosen the wrong...
• Commented on Now I'm not trying to be a Negative Nelly, but....
  I have never written as genuine of a comment on any of the other post, as I am now. I couldn't agree more with you that the entire book was a fluff and word salad of every single concept of...
• Commented on N vs. N
  You are absolutely right in mentioning that we have used Nature vs Nurture in almost every topic of psychology. It is one of the most interesting yet most complicated part of human psychology. The more studies psychologists carry out, that...
• Commented on Last Blog Post
  I completely agree that psychology 1001 has been quite an interesting class. I really like where you point out that a person's behavior and beliefs can be affected by both their genetics and the environment. What I found interesting throughout...
• Posted The Bachelor: Who will get the rose this time? to Psychology 1001 Sections 10-11 Spring 2012
  The Bachelor is the most ridiculous show I have ever watched in my life. Having said that, I still watch it religiously .. let's just say it's my guilty pleasure. The show is basically about one hot shot guy who...

• Commented on Say What?
  As much as I hate to admit it, I was on the verizon website to pay my bill and I went over my usage and I saw that I go through about 5000 texts in a month. How does one...
• Commented on Parenting Styles
  I thoroughly enjoyed reading your post. I completely agree that different cultures have different methods of upbringing their children. In Asian cultures, parents are more authoritative. However within that culture, just because those parents are using the same parenting styles,...
• Commented on Video Games: Can They Change You?
  I completely agree with you. Just because someone plays Call of Duty does not mean that they are going to go kill someone, if that happens, maybe they were aggressive to begin with and that is why they enjoyed playing...
• Commented on Knock knock. Who's there? BANANA.
  I cannot even begin to tell you how many times I've encountered this problem. We go over a topic a 100 times in class but always learn to solve that problem or idea in one way. But once that fails,...
• Commented on Hunger Games
  Thank you for posting this. I totally agree with you 100%. I have always struggled with these fad diets. Growing up I was afraid of my own body. I am in no way overweight. In fact my BMI ranges in...
• Commented on Calculus Frustration
  I COMPLETELY agree with you. The fixed mind-set problem keeps happening to me all the time. Whenever I see a similar integration problem or a word problem, I would use the same methods over and over again even though I'd...
• Commented on Why The Vacuum Is Not A Friend To Your Dog
  Thanks for that post. My dog considers the vacuum as its enemy. Whenever she realizes that I'm about to vacuum the living room, she'll run down to the basement and hide. I always wondered why and I partially knew it...
• Commented on Do You Really Know Mary Jane?
  I really liked reading your blog post because, as the others mentioned, you chose not take a side on it. You presented facts in a very neutral manner. I have many "pot" smokers say that "marijuana doesn't do anything to...
• Commented on Is the Dog Whisperer magic?
  I really enjoyed reading your blog post. I have a German Shepard and my family and I trained him using the concepts of classical conditioning and watching Caesar Milan's tv and by reading his books. What I learned from him...
• Posted Classical Conditioning, Believability and Abercrombie "Push-up Bra's" for kids to Psychology 1001 Sections 10-11 Spring 2012
  Mass media has become a powerful tool to mold people's thoughts and attitudes. It basically tries to define the norm to the mass. I'm not trying to say that advertising is an evil that is taking over society. However, my...
• Posted Chapter 9: Intelligence and IQ Testing to Psychology 1001 Sections 10-11 Spring 2012
  Prior to attending this psychology class, or just college in general, we had to undergo the frustrating (at least for some of us) task of preparing for several IQ tests like the ACT and the infamous SAT. During that time,...
