In everyday interactions, emotional expressions provide insight towards how an individual may be feeling. These displays of emotions, however, can be voluntarily controlled. In recent years, there has been a great deal of research on not just how an emotion is indexed, but also why the particular emotion has been shown, both of which playing an enormous role on communication in today's society. Display rules are cultural conventions that guide how and when individuals monitor their emotional…

take in the qualities in their group of environment such as speaking, skills, norms, values, culture, and more. (Henslin). It’s not just the qualities in the group but also the group itself or “people that can affect our self concept, attitudes, behaviors, or other orientations toward life.” (83, Henslin). The nature vs nurture debate is “how much a person’s characteristics comes from “nature” which is heredity and how much from “nurture” which is social environment.” (66, Henslin) As growing up…

guided by different theories, have studied the factors thought to engender behavior. One such theory is the theory of planned behavior (Ajzen, 1991). An important proponent of Ajzen’s theory is subjective norms, defined as perceived social pressure to either perform a behavior or not. In theory, subjective norms are helpful for predicting behavior (Ajzen, 1991) as are descriptive norms, the perception of others’ behavior (Rivis & Sheeran, 2003). The influence of societal views and expectations…

There is much debate to whether the Governess in this story is sane or insane. According to Oxford Dictionaries, insanity is a “state of mind that prevents normal perception, behavior, and social interaction” (Oxford Dictionaries). The Governess can be considered insane since she has disturbed perceptions, exhibits abnormal behavior, and has unnatural social interactions. The Governess is insane since her perception is impaired. Throughout the novel, the Governess claims that there are ghosts…

The psychodynamic theory works to explain behaviors through understanding the unconscious processes of a person (Deal). Freud believed that biological drives based on gratification direct human behavior (Deal). When the person seeks gratification, the outside world, such as parents and society, frequently opposes the gratifications (Deal). According to Freud, the gratifications…

Final Learning Assessment (Rough Draft) As human beings we all have one thing in common, we all share the same home, the planet earth. Yet, within this home, every single one of us has our very own world. These may sound like contradictory statements, but they are not. The truth of the matter is, as human beings, we all make our own realities that differ from that of people in another country, state, or even our neighbors. Yet, simultaneously, we can share the same reality with hundreds,…

Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) is a type of triple repeat disorder that is prevalent in both males and females.

diagnostically could overlap, making it at times, difficult to distinguish the two disorders (e.g. impulsivity, frequent outburst, lack of self-control of emotions and behaviors). An indicator to distinguish the two disorders is to focus/assess reasoning, how, and why behaviors are occurring; furthermore, a therapist could examine the source of the behaviors/symptoms. A child diagnosed with ODD, while only showing symptoms at school, makes me question the possibility that it could actually be…

Freud – psychoanalytic Freud identified three parts to the personality, starting with a †̃symbioticâ€TM relationship between a mother and child in the first months. Here an infant sees him or herself as part of his or her mother. This is one reason why a child of about 18 months becomes †̃egocentricâ€TM, or aware of himself as separate, and able to say †̃noâ€TM and to be in control. As we go through childhood into adulthood we develop moral views and the †̃idâ€TM (I want it now!) starts…
