• Commented on Crazy Cat Lady
  This portion of the semester when learning about attraction was very interesting to me because people always think otherwise that there aren't any factors other than physical attraction obviously play a role. It is good to know this information!...
• Commented on Rock A By Baby
  I agree 100% with this! I even notice it with myself when I get tired after only 6-7 hours of sleep how loopy I feel. Although it may seem hard sometimes to not get ample amounts of sleep, the importance...
• Commented on To catch a criminal
  This is a good thing to remember, especially when it could ruin the wrong person's life. It seems ridiculous to me that they could convict people off of criminal profiling solely on behaviors but they have to start somewhere if...
• Commented on How easy it is to NOT mess up your kids.
  This is good that you got this out of the class! I feel the same way, when I have kids I am going to use the authoritative parenting style as well....
• Posted Don't Be a Meanie!!!!!! to Sections 24 and 25 SP12 PSY 1001
  The concept in psychology that I will remember for the next five years will most likely be the mere fact that even though you don't think you have an impact on the development of people around you, you really do....
• Commented on Separated at Birth
  This is so interesting to think about, I do not know what I would do if I passed someone that looked almost identical to me and later found out that I was a part of a twin study. I find...
• Commented on Blame Your Brain, Not Your Stomach
  This is a very good article. I think it is so sad how much people are influenced by the media with the pressure to look so skinny to the point where they can't eat food without wanted to regurgitate it....
• Commented on Dying to be Beautiful
  This is a good point. People most definitely have misconceptions about the disorder. I have never personally experienced it but a friend of mine has, I have a hard time grasping the concept of not eating but I do know...
• Commented on The Key to Weight Loss? Eating Snacks
  I completely agree with this article because I don't agree with all of the eating fads with people not eating. It has been proven that not eating for awhile slows down metabolisms and that leads to weight gain....
• Commented on Monkey in the Middle
  You have a good point about them leaving out an alive monkey mother as another potential factor to determine which they would prefer. The only difficult part about using a real monkey mother is that they would be fluffy and...
• Commented on To believe or not believe, that is the question.
  This subject is very interesting because there really is no way in my opinion people can correctly determine whether or not a person is lying with a detector. To an extent, I'm sure there are ways that lie detectors work...
• Posted The Apple Doesn't Fall Far From the Tree to Sections 24 and 25 SP12 PSY 1001
  Thinking about children's attitudes towards life can be a touchy subject for some people because it is all stemmed back to which parenting style was used with them. Although that is not the first explanation that comes to mind about...
• Posted Sugar, Spice and Everything....Not Nice..? to Sections 24 and 25 SP12 PSY 1001
  If you're ever prompted with the word "supertaster," I'm willing to assume that you'd immediately respond expressing your jealous since they enjoy food on a whole new level. Just because the word super- is attached to the beginning is quite...
• Commented on The Screen Adds Ten Pounds
  I don't know if I necessarily agree with the fact that the computers and screens damage one's brain, but I 100% blame the over use of technology for people becoming more obese. There is the potential for the technology's rays...
• Commented on Adrenaline Miracle
  This is a great story, it's a movie too if you were unaware! It's amazing that he lived through that and the fact that he cut is whole arm off because of adrenaline!! I don't know what I would have...
• Commented on Was President Bush Really THAT Dumb?
  I completely agree with this blog 100%! People can't judge how smart someone is by how they speak because some just aren't as literate as others even if they have the intelligence to do other things very well but lack...
• Commented on Water: Dangerous to our Health?
  I have heard of there being potential risks of tap water containing many harmful chemicals but people drink the same tap water daily and seem to have nothing wrong--there are worse things that could be in the water. Also, I...
• Commented on The Brain: Just a Radiator for the Heart?
  That is so weird to think there was a point in time that people thought the brain was unimportant then did a complete 180 turn and say it's the most complex structure in the universe. It's also weird to think...
• Commented on D.A.R.E. to Get Kids High
  In my school district we did D.A.R.E. in elementary school in 5th and 6th grade and I never thought about doing drugs after that! They made it seem so terrible. I could see how people who went through it in...
• Commented on The Power of Persuasion
  This is a very good point to think about, people (myself included!) see random advertisements and don't think they need something until that idea is planted in their head then all of a sudden want that item. The image is...
• Commented on Mental illness and the Law
  People who are convicted of murder or any other illegal activities should not be able to plead insanity right off the bat, it is a sort of unfair way out for a person who can claim they have a mental...
• Commented on KACFJNABISBCFUI....Remember that!
  This is a very good argument but what happens if there isn't any traceable DNA to test? Would they just let the crime happen since they aren't able to biologically test to identify the criminal? They have to at least...
• Posted The Giggle Bug! to Sections 24 and 25 SP12 PSY 1001
  We all wonder what really makes people laugh. But is there really a way to control a study of people laughing? There is an argument about not being able to conduct a laughter study in the confines of a laboratory...
