During this spring semester, I have to help Katie for her Attitudes toward Education II study. However, I will continue to run participants for this study for next semester. Because of that, I am not allowed to know the hypotheses for this study. It is because; it is important for the RAs that work and handle the study to not know the hypotheses to prevent any biases, such as confirmation bias and so forth. But, I am really interested in Elise’s study about the hiring decision. The research question of this study is to find out whether the exposure to bias can affect peoples’ ability to learn and to transfer it to a new context. The hypothesis for this study is, people who were exposed to direct bias (the manager show obvious bias) will do …show more content…
One of the things that I learn about myself is that I am really interested in doing research because I think that it is fun and I really enjoyed running participants and do the coding. I learnt a lot in this lab. Even though it was hectic sometimes, but I am still very happy because gaining more knowledge of something that really interests me will never bore me. I also think that my decision to choose social psychology lab is really a good idea because social psychology is really an area of psychology that I am really interested in and want to learn more about it. Plus, this lab really suits me because I am really interested in learning more about stereotype and …show more content…
All of these are the reasons on why I really love this lab. The best part of working in the lab this semester is all the people that I am working with. I have friends that also taking lab and become research assistant, but they always complaint to me that their coworkers/lab mates are not friendly at all and it is hard for them to communicate. I am so happy because I am surrounded with people that are very positive, high-spirited, intelligent and fun to be with. We also have lots of diversity in our lab, which is so fun.

7) What was the worst part of working in the lab this semester?
The worst part of working in the lab this semester is the fact that I have to work 5 hours straight on Thursday. I feel a little bit tired because I have three lectures straight before the lab hours. I am not blaming this lab for this, but I am scared and worried if I did not perform well/handle the participants well because of this. However, I already feel used to it and I can keep focus on doing the tasks assigned to me.

8) What are 1-3 suggestions for how things can be improved next

    Helena Fogerty's Decision Making Model

    I used to be a part-time cashier at this pizza joint while I was in high school. Of the six biases described by Werner, I think that “being influenced by emotions” best represents what caused bad decision making. This pizza place was local to my hometown and was family run. I, alongside one other cashier, was the only employee who was not in the family. I found from working in a family run business, almost all the managerial decisions made were influenced by someone’s emotions.…

    Ap Biology Case Study Quiz Bee

    In the past term, I completed multiple labs including determining transpiration in bean plant leave and testing bacterial resistance to antibiotics through bacterial transcription. As a kinesthetic learner, I was delighted to be able to work with the material. Moreover, this style of interacting learning proved to be overwhelmingly beneficial as it both increased my passion for biology to unprecedented levels and introduced me to the skills of proper laboratory technique that I can use for the rest of my life. I have always enjoyed biology, but in this new learning environment, I was able to thrive. My favorite part of biology is how everything ties together.…

    Pit Bull Terrier Controversy

    Biases are present in our everyday lives and they are everywhere. It was very easy to think of a situation in which I witnessed bias attitudes and saw how these attitudes had an effect on people’s lives (or animal lives). I am going to use the example of breed discrimination against the Pit Bull Terrier. Just about any situation involving the Pit Bull Terrier has been full of biases and assumptions. I have had Pit Bulls as pets my whole life; therefore, I am no stranger to these biases.…

    Why Is It Fair To Lose A Marks

    Yesterday before the lab's beginning, I told you that I forgot my lab coat, then I said that I can go buy one from the bookstore, but you told me that it's okay and that Shawn will give me one. Then I got one from Shawn, but you said that I'll lose all the prep marks for this lab. I get it that I should lose some marks, but I don't feel it is fair to lose all the marks, I mean I did my flow chart and my calculations and the lab report, I only forgot my lab coat. I would really appreciate it if you reconsider this.…

    Ever since being a part of this lab, I have had much of a learning experience. My research focused on genetically fine mapping a specific region of a gene in pearl millet plants that translates into bristle production. This required me to plant and maintain F2 seedlings and screen them for recombination. I would not have known how meticulous every task in an experimental procedure must be before I started working in this lab. Having this role has taught me persistence even with issues with results.…

    Social Construction Of Self Reflection

    It has only been three weeks and I have never had a class that has personally affected me as much as this one. This week’s reading, “The Social Construction of Unreality: A Case Study of a Family’s Attribution of Competence to a Severely Retarded Child” by Pollner and McDonald-Wilker, really made me question my entire life and the role that my family has had in my education. I am in my second year at UCLA with a full scholarship for tuition and very minimal loans. Granted I have had some ups and downs with my GPA, I have overall been managing my grades. As a student, you can say I have been quite successful.…

    Psychology Reflection

    Throughout this semester in Intro to Psychology, I have gained a deeper understanding of the entire field of psychology. This has allowed me to better understand how and why people act in certain ways.

Through this knowledge base that I have gained during my time in this course, I have learned more about myself and what influences how I experience and view the world. A few concepts that I have applied to my own life and influence me, deal with the ideas of mindset, motivation style, and my developing understanding of social situations.…
