3 TYPES OF INFORMATIVE PRESENTATION
FORMAL REPORTS AND BRIEFINGS
ELEVATOR SPEECH
5 INGREDIENTS OF INTRODUCING A SPEAKER
"1. Mention speaker's name
PSYCHOLOGY
The science of of mental processes and behavior
MENTAL PROCESSES
"What scientist call what your brain is doing when you are thinking, storing memories, recognizing objects, and using language AND when you're feeling depressed, jump for joy, or savor the experience of being in love..."
BEHAVIOR
"Outwardly observable acts of a person, either alone or in a group. E.G. Physical movements, voluntary/involuntary, of limbs, face, other body parts."
GOALS OF PSYCHOLOGY
"Goals to go beyond simply describing and explaining mental processes and behaviors, but also in predicting and controlling them"
THREE LEVELS OF PSYCHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS
"1) Mechanism (____ of the brain)
LEVEL OF THE BRAIN
"Events that involve the structure and properties of the organ itself-- brain cells and their connections, the chemical soup in which they exist, and the genes. (p7)"
LEVEL OF THE PERSON
"Events that involve the nature of beliefs, desires, and feelings -- the content of the mind, not just its internal mechanics (p7)"
LEVEL OF THE GROUP
"Events that involve relationships between people (e.g. love, competition, cooperation), relationships among groups, and culture. Events at the level of the group are one aspect of the environment; the other aspect is the physical environment itself (the time, temperature, and other physical stimuli). (p7)"
CULTURE
"""Language, beliefs, values, norms, behaviors, and material objects that are passed from one generation to the next"" (Henslin, 1999) (p7)"
PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT
"_____ is what all levels of psychological analysis must acknowledge and understand in relation to the events at each level of analysis, because the physical limitations of this surrounds us (and, I would argue, effects content, mechanism, and network inextricably)"
Q: HOW DID PSYCHOLOGY DEVELOP OVER TIME?
Founded with roots in PHILOSOPHY and PHYSIOLOGY and was the beginning of the scientific study of behavior with the understanding that the brain was where it was all happening.
STRUCTURALISM
"Wilhelm Wundt is responsible for _____ and thus is considered the founder of scientific psychology, sought to identify ""building blocks"" of consciousness and how combinations of them may occur at the same time or in sequence.
CONCIOUSNESS
The state of being aware
INTROSPECTION
"The technique of noticing your mental processes during or immediately after they happen. A primary research tool for early STRUCTURALIST psychologists like Wilhelm Wundt, which literally means ""looking within."" (p10)"
INTROSPECTION: FAULTS
Teaching people to use introspection to then understand their behavior wouldn't allow for them to prove that what they said they were thinking and how they were thinking it was indeed a mental process.
FUNCTIONALISM
_____ sought to understand how our minds help us function and adapt to the world around us. Focused on methods that people used to learn and how goals and beliefs shaped their environments. Strongly influenced by Darwin. DISTINCTION from STRUCTURALISTS is that S. asked how & what while _____ asked WHY...
GESTALT PSYCHOLOGY (THEORY)

In BOTH cases, you will lose touch with what's going on in the present because of the mental preoccupation with the elephants"
RECONSTRUCTIVE MEMORY

5 WAYS TO ACHIEVE CONSONANCE
"1. Discredit the source
RATIONALIZATION
Mentally working through DISSONANCE towards CONSONANCE.
SOCIAL JUDGEMENT THEORY
"People evaluate information from an ANCHOR POINT, and embrace their positions based on their
ANCHOR POINT
The fundamental attitude or position from which people evaluate information according to Social Judgement Theory (p287)
LATITUDE OF REJECTION
The range of positions not tolerable according to Social Judgement Theory (p287)
LATITUDE OF ACCEPTANCE
The range of positions that are tolerable according to Social Judgement Theory (p287)
LATITUDE OF NONCOMMITMENT
"The range in between the two ranges of positions that are tolerable and intolerable, respectively, according to Social Judgement Theory (p287)"
1. ASSIMILATION EFFECT
"The effect when our latitude of acceptance is incrementally expanded by suggested positions that are just beyond the existing range, causing latitudes of resistance and noncommitment shrink, according to Social Judgement Theory (p287-8)"
2. CONTRAST EFFECT
"The effect when our latitudes of acceptance and noncommitment shrink from suggested positions that are too far beyond the existing tolerable range, increasing the size of the latitude of rejection, according to Social Judgement Theory (p288)"
3. BOOMERANG EFFECT
"The effect that is like the CONTRAST EFFECT but results in the audience cementing their boundaries of their latitudes of acceptance. They rally around a deeply held ANCHOR POINT, giving no almost-tolerable messages the benefit of the doubt. Likely caused by creating COGNITIVE DISSONANCE, and then the audience may be even more resistant to change positions than before. (p288)"
3 METHODS of INOCULATION
"1. Supportive treatment
COUNTERPOSITIONAL RESISTANCE
Building up an audience's resistance to other messages that they'll likely hear from other speakers so that they will be left with emphasized value on your message
AUDIENCE COMMITMENT
"Similar to rationalizing to reduce dissonance. Says modifying behavior even slightly predicts an attitude alignment consistent with the initial modification. MOST effective when audience experiences free will, i.e. is allowed to interact via hand raising, giving announcements, writing on cards..."
METHODS of SELF-PERSUASION
"Having people stand up, raise their hands, sign cards, make testimonials, give announcements... (p289-90)"
1. SUPPORTIVE TREATMENT
"Giving the audience rational reasons for supporting position, a foundation of knowledge by which they can deny opposition (p289)"
2. REFUTATION TREATMENT
"Identifying and then refuting a sample of counterarguments that the audience is probably going to hear later to encourage audience resistance, creating a ""cognitive defense system."" (p290)"
3. GENERALIZED FOREWARNING
"Warning the audience that some form of influence will attempt to affect them later, urging them not to be surprised by the opposing messages without spelling those messages out."
EXAMPLE: X cautions Y group against others who might try and erode their beliefs in his or her plan and urge Y to stand firm.
GENERALIZED FORWARNING
"EXAMPLE: X lists problems associated with previous and future approaches, thus alerting Y to them."
REFUTATION TREATMENT
EXAMPLE: X offers Y group several reasons why X's approach is superior.

The means with which the Ego will do this is via DEFENSE MECHANISMS"
REPRESSION
"a constant effort on the Ego's part to keep a memory from ever entering the conscious or preconscious so that a person is never again aware of the traumatic memory. Repression takes a great deal of energy and especially for those with more powerful thoughts and impulses, tiring the EGO. A ""stable personality"" will need a strong Ego to deal with this, otherwise it risks being significantly more unstable. (p7 into ch3)"

SUBLIMINATION
"Uses activities and socially acceptable actions to channel the threatening unconscious impulses. Instead of being draining, this helps us become more productive. That's why it's thought of as the ONLY SUCCESSFUL DEFENSE MECHANISM. Aggressive urges from the id are expressed, and Ego becomes less burdened with what it has to control. Athletics are the best example of this, it would seem, as there are clear social rewards for playing hard..."

DISPLACEMENT
"this is like sublimation because it involves releasing the id, but in a way that won't be beneficial or rewarding. You might displace anger towards someone other than the one you're angry with, or displace the fear of something with the fear of something else perhaps associated with the true thing."
DENIAL
Refusing to accept certain facts. Perhaps acting like friend still around after they're dead. Extreme. The ego resorts to denial
