Cognitive behavioral psychology is how we think, act, feel, and interact with one another. Cognitive behavior is shown in the movie Inside Out through the A.B.C technique. A (Activating Event), B (Belief), and C (Consequence). The first showing of this is at the very beginning of the movie when Riley’s dad tried to feed her broccoli, which was the initial action, her belief was that the broccoli would not taste good, and as a consequence she rejects the broccoli and throws a fit. This behavior…

may evoke varying degrees of sympathy. Three of the most obvious examples are Mr. Galanter, Rabbi Isaac Saunders, and Danny Saunders. Mr. Galanter coaches the softball team at the yeshiva where Reuven attends school. Though he does not follow the Jewish faith and has to work at another school in addition to Reuven’s yeshiva, Mr. Galanter certainly cares about his team. He can act rather abrupt at times, but he is not trying to come across as rude. He simply possesses a great deal of passion…

Temple Grandin was born on August 29, 1947, in Boston Massachusetts. Her parents were Richard Grain and Eustacia Cutler. At the early age of two, Temple was diagnosed with autism. She struggled with the charts and didn’t speak until the age of four. Although she didn’t have the normal interaction skills like we do, she was very smart in the classroom, especially science. She was probably the smartest one in her science class. Her mother was told that they thought it was a lack of physical…

One interesting strategy that I have come across in in previous research, mentioned briefly in lecture, is utilizing the “flow psychology” concept (Walsh, 2015). Using “flow psychology” from a management position could entail developing and delegating tasks that allow an employee to enter the “flow zone” which lies somewhere within the employee’s skill level, while also giving an appropriate level of challenge…

clinical settings, including but not limited to psychiatric settings, general hospitals, skilled nursing and intermediate care homes, child and adolescent treatment centers, schools, and forensic and correctional centers” (“Music Therapy”). It is fairly easy to get help through music therapy if you know where a hospital, school, correctional center, or nursing home is. People with less serious conditions can seek other solutions. According to Daniel Levitin, a neuropsychologist and professor,…

will not learn acceptance and tolerance if they are not challenged by basic interaction among their peers. In the article, “Nature vs Nurture in Special Education,” by Professor Susan Umok-Mars she states “if we (sic) create separate places in the school community, we (sic) exclude some students from being part of that community.” Nature has given these children a specific genetic marker, but how is it nurturing their communal and emotional development when denied the diversity of the academic…

Examination distributed by the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology demonstrated that men specifically can tend to feel more regrettable about themselves or their relationship when their accomplice has a larger amount of accomplishment. Obviously, the good there shouldn't be that ladies ought to succeed less, but…

brain, despite being so directly relevant to us, is only recently being understood and therefore there is still so much to learn. Not only am I fascinated by what we know, I am also interested in what we don’t. Learning physiological studies in psychology, such as Maguire’s study into the plasticity of hippocampi in taxi drivers and Sperry’s…

knock out some of the food for thought questions right off the back, psychology of injury is an interesting topic yet makes much sense, especially given our careers (And dependency on it!). I thought we were going to delve more into the predictors, psychological reactions, and strategies to help them cope through their emotional responses. Which we did! I have only taken one sport psychology course since coming to graduate school, so I’d say I’m still a pretty fresh slate. One thing that did…

Nature and nurture interact and play a critical role in every individual’s life, but ultimately one overpowers the other. Psychosocial rehabilitation specialist and author of Everything Psychology Book, Kendra Cherry, refers to nature as “all of the genes and hereditary factors that influence who we are” and refers to nurture as “all the environmental variables that impact who we are, including our early childhood experiences, how we were raised, our social relationships, and our surrounding…
