Psy 270 Week 6 Critical Thinking Analysis

Improved Essays

The activity itself involved five different real-life dialogues. For each, I gave either a positive or a negative response, dependent on the type of response as indicated. After having inferred the set circumstances, I reflected on how my answers were given in contrast to the rest of the class. As a result, our answers varied for all of them, just as expected.
Regarding the five situations, they were generic and detailed enough to answer. In other words, I based all my replies off of adequate amount of information, similar to the number of details included
