• Commented on Cody Morin - Chapter 14

• Commented on Blog 2: Nature Vs. Nurture
  Nature vs Nature gets me every time. It is a fascinating topic but the bottom line is that it is a combination of the two. However, it was interesting to hear a viewpoint that we are predisposed to be something...
• Commented on Placebos in Psych
  Placebo is great. I understand the scientific business about scientists trying to find out how truly effective a drug is, to say, lower depression, but it bugs me when they say it is mostly placebo affect and go on to...

• Commented on Social Facilitation
  I like how you brought up sports. After reading this chapter I had a greater understanding of how being clutch works. It now makes sense why the great players always seem to come up big when it really counts but...
• Commented on Living a Healthy Life
  I like how you brought up the social aspect of health. A group makes being healthy much easier. When I was in cross country, it would always be a group of us running all over the place and eating healthy....
• Commented on A big "loser"
  Good work. Very good work. I kind of understand where you are coming from. I was a cross country runner in high school, and there were many times when it was no fun and pretty painful. But the feeling after...
• Commented on Don't Do It
  I have also experienced the bystander effect first hand. I have walked right by a person in need in a busy hall, yet I have helped people with minor things like picking up a dropped binder when there was nobody...

• Commented on One is a bun, Two is a shoe... -Jacob Panzer
  I also found the memory unit very interesting. Just like you, I too used the methods from the book to help me study and it worked for me as well. What is nice about what we learned about memory is...
• Commented on Learning through my own conformity
  I thought the section about conforming was interesting too. Like you, I never thought of my self as a conformist. I am a big fan of standing out, like body paint at sporting events. But when I take a closer...
• Posted Something that I will never forget to PSY 1001 Section 18 Spring 2012
  There were many great topics which we covered in this class, all of which I learned a great deal from. However, I feel as though I will remember aspects of the personality chapter for years to come. I believe this...
• Posted Beautiful People to PSY 1001 Section 18 Spring 2012
  Physical attraction is an amazing thing. Like it or not, we judge books by their covers, and by books I mean people. Although both men and women both put a premium on having a partner who's intelligent, dependable and kind,...
• Posted Where does consciousness reside? ~Luke Coyer to PSY 1001 Section 18 Spring 2012
