• Commented on Why is she so attractive? It's called Photoshop......
  The Halo Effect is constantly occurring with the media and in everyday life. Just because a person has good looks does not mean they have other admirable qualities. I also believe that photoshop has had a negative effect on our...
• Commented on Unborn Baby Geniuses
  I strongly agree that reading and listening to music have no effect on intelligence of an unborn child. While both are beneficial and relaxing to the mother there is no way that either of these activities will make your child...
• Commented on An Invaluable Learning Experience
  I came into this class not knowing that much about psychology but what I have learned will be so valuable to me throughout my lifetime no matter what career I pursue. It has helped me to learn about myself and...
• Commented on what will bring to me in the next five years
  Thank you for sharing your experience and I am happy that you have embraced a healthy lifestyle. The video really showed how dangerous eating disorders are, especially since our society is one that embraces those who are thin and do...
• Commented on Using Psychology to Understand Oneself
  I also found myself to be pretty close to a t. I did not think that I would learn much from my personality test, but it was very interesting to see that it did reflect a lot of what i...
• Commented on Dream On
  As I have seen Sharkboy and Lava Girl ages ago, if even ever the whole movie and I have never seen inception, this leads me to want to watch these movies after finals are over. Dreams show so many strange...
• Commented on SleepWalking-Valid Arguement in Trial
  The fact that you cannot prove one way or another if someone was sleeping when they killed someone makes it seem absolutely ridiculous to use it as defense in a court of law. I would agree with the above statements,...
• Commented on Monkey See, Monkey Do.
  Before I had come to college I would have bet on my life and said I was nothing like my parents. But as this year has gone by I have realized that so many of my mannerisms and what I...
• Commented on What I will remember: Soical Psychology
  It is crazy to think about how much our opinions change as we learn new information from people like our friends, TAs, professors, and speakers. To think how much of our life changes and develops over these four years is...
• Commented on Psychology...What will I remember?
  I would agree that this is an application of the mere exposure effect that i have never noticed before. Many of the blogs I read to comment one makes me look at so many things we have learned differently. I...
• Commented on I will not give in!
  I would agree with you when you say that professor gonzales did a very good job of laying out the information to us. I think it is crazy how many people did conform in the study where they clearly knew...
• Commented on Two-Factory Theory
  I never though of the two-factor theory as a way in which i could attempt to manipulate someone into having different feelings than they originally thought, but it makes me wonder if there are some people that do use this...
• Commented on Not Everyone Wants to be Skinny
  In my opinion I think it is crazy how you can go to a place, where more or less we are very similar at an evolutionary standpoint, but yet the culture is so completely different. Most people here would never...
• Commented on Five years from now...
  I also think it is unbelievable it is that just because a man had a lab coat on, people were able to give shocks that could very well kill a person and not even totally second guess it. It makes...
• Commented on That's What Makes You Beautiful
  I agree with this completely. When i was writing my blog this didn't come to mind as i searched for a topic but when I think more about it I believe this will be remembered as well but almost because...
• Posted We cannot always deny, dismiss, or distort to Psy 1001 section 26 Spring 2012
  If I had to count the number of concepts we have learned this semester in our introduction psych class, it would take to long. And to define each of these concepts?? Makes me realize how much studying needs to be...
• Commented on Understanding the Real Truth
  The fact that a picture like this exists and I like to believe it is not true for any age, we all know it is. Especially in children who have grown up with all the advertising that they see on...
• Commented on This assignment is so boring that I'm falling asleep.
  I am also one of those people that likes white noise and it is truly to bad that we cannot retain more information of the things that go on around us while we are taking that quick nap through lecture....
• Commented on Family Dynamics
  Sometimes I wonder if these types of studies and these huge generalizations are just that, generalizations. For example, this to be at all similar to when we talked about horoscopes. But also it creates me to wonder if people just...
• Posted Are you smarter than a 5th grader? to Psy 1001 section 26 Spring 2012
  Although shows such as "Are you smarter than a 5th grader,"1 vs. 100," and "Jeopardy" are television shows aired on American television, Intelligence is not often portrayed in the mass of American media. You always hear about research that is...
• Posted Resisting Triggers to Psy 1001 section 26 Spring 2012
  They say that when an addict is in treatment they can learn to manage the negative emotions that specifically trigger the abuse of the drugs. As stated in lecture, after repeated actions of using a specific drug, one can build...
• Commented on Sleep and Learn
  You do make a good point. I always listen to music before I go to bed, and that often then plays through the night, and when I was younger and did not share a room with others I listened to...
• Commented on Sleep...how much is enough?
  I find this interesting because then I am led to ponder, if so many people say they can function (not saying they cannot, just relaying facts) perfectly with less than the recommended amount of sleep, then why is it that...
• Posted Multiple Intelligences to Psy 1001 section 26 Spring 2012
  In different cultures intelligence is measured differently. For example, A Chinese elder versus an American scholar, both could impart wisdom on the people around them, but who is regarded with higher intelligence by their culture? There are different ways of...
