<p>Do you think we have to know every psychological disorder’s definition, or just the major ones probably? And all the treatment stuff? Cause honestly, some of the treament drug names get confusing as to what does what. Any thoughts on this???</p>
<p>ZombieDante- another idea- think back thru your math courses, you may have done z scores, it’s possible. I did in Honors Algebra II during the stats unit.</p>
<p>Hey iluvpiano could you please stop posting so much in a row? And nope we haven’t in my Algebra 2 class…</p>
<p>You should know how to categorize every disorder… You should be able to define it but only need to know treatments for the major ones such as schizophrenia, manic depression, etc… Prevalence and causes may also factor in.</p>
<p>Interficio- yeah, that sounds good, probably right. I’m thinking just the major ones also, which I know already.</p>
<p>ZombieDante- I typically don’t post a few times in a row on the same thread, but those questions came up in my mind and felt like saying it. Plus, I answered YOUR question that you so strongly stated earlier, so if I were you, I would be saying “thank you” for answering the question right now. Your welcome. If I feel like posting, I can- it’s called freedom of speech, 1st amendment, look it up if you must. Look, now I combined 2 answers/posts into one here- does that sound better for you?</p>
<p>I hope there aren’t too obscure psychologists on there… for me those are people like kohler and tolman and horney, etc… I can deal with people like Gilligan if they just do something striaghtforward about her studying morality difference among genders…</p>
<p>interficio i must be overthinking this then. for me the obscure ones im dreading are Marcia, Rescorla, Ekman. XD</p>
<p>but i think we’ll be ok. Even if they mention the name there’s usually some clue about their study… and i feel like we know a lot of the research but don’t have the names to match. meh. idk.</p>
<p>iluvpiano-- yeah i’m pretty confident I’m getting a 5. can’t say that for all my other exams, but this one most likely.</p>
<p>Ducttape, I dont even know who they are… I heard of the first and the third but when i looked them up they didnt sink in. explain?</p>
<p>also some care to clarify between eriksons initiative vs guilt and his autonomy vs shame/doubt stages?</p>
<p>passtheducttape- can you explain who those psychologists are that you mentioned? I memorized info about the ones in my prep book, but it didn’t include those ones! i haven’t heard of them! help please…</p>
<p>I doubt we need to know this but here is Marcia:
Marcia- Identity Status Theory </p>
<p>Identity Diffusion – the status in which the adolescent does no have a sense of having choices; he or she has not yet made (nor is attempting/willing to make) a commitment
Identity Foreclosure – the status in which the adolescent seems willing to commit to some relevant roles, values, or gaols for the future. Adolescents in this stage have not experienced an identity crisis. They tend to conform to the expectations of others regarding their future (e. g. allowing a parent to determine a career direction) As such, these individuals have not explored a range of options.</p>
<p>Identity Moratorium – the status in which the adolescent is currently in a crisis, exploring various commitments and is ready to make choices, but has not made a commitment to these choices yet.</p>
<p>Identity Achievement - the status in which adolescent has gone through a identity crisis and has made a commitment to a sense of identity (i.e. certain role or value) that he or she has chosen</p>
<p>([Identity</a> Status Theory (Marcia) | Learning Theories](<a href=“http://www.learning-theories.com/identity-status-theory-marcia.html]Identity”>http://www.learning-theories.com/identity-status-theory-marcia.html))</p>
<p>Can someone please explain self efficacy, group think, and group polarization to me with an example of each?</p>
<p>If anyone needs information on important figures in psychology, I have a cheat sheet, just give me the name of the person and I’ll tell you what they did. It’s not very elaborate, but it has what school they were in (behaviorist, psychoanalytic, etc.) and their discovery/experiment.</p>
<p>Groupthink–individuals self-sensor their beliefs to preserve harmony in a group
Ex. Despite the fact that Tanya did not agree with the rest of the group, she decided to keep harmony in the group by not voicing her opinion on the issue </p>
<p>Group polarization–like-minded people share ideas resulting in a more extreme position on an issue
ex. People who are very racist tend to become even more racist after talking with individuals who share the same belief or with individuals who are violently against their belief</p>
<p>self efficacy- belief in ones skills, can be either optimistic or pessimistic.</p>
<p>group think- usually in groups they shut out any other options and usually make bad decisions. a usual test question asks a way to stop group think and the answer is to have the group has openness to other options.</p>
<p>group polarization- where in a group you make more radical decisions. Such as a buisness wanted to buy 100 shares from an organization that is doing well, but due to group polarization, they buy 500.</p>
<p>Thanks tpg1993 and JoalFL</p>
<p>so… how can we study for this…? i mean i read a few books but i still feel…bleh</p>
<p>You study by memorizing the definitions and knowing how to apply them to various situations/examples…AP Psych is just all memorization it seems, and as I’ve heard from other people who have already taken the exam.</p>
<p>yeah, i mean it looks easy. I just wanna be certain about getting a 5…
and for that matter, anyone got tips on ap euro?</p>
<p>It’s difficult to be absolutely certain about a 5- I’m pretty certain about either a 4 or 5, which is fine. For AP Euro, here’s where we’re doing that: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/history-social-sciences/1031266-official-ap-euro-11-thread.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/history-social-sciences/1031266-official-ap-euro-11-thread.html</a> I’m taking AP Euro also. There have been quite a few posts on that thread today as well.</p>
<p>Cool beans, I havent studied for it yet. But back to AP Psych, i hear that 10 out of 18 the past tests had frq’s on scientific method</p>
<p>that doesnt seem like we need to know it… just took that long quizlet fill in the blank quiz… 77% I’ll take it… Here are some terms that tripped me up or I thought of, if anyone cares:</p>
<p>explicit v. implicit memory
autonmy and shame doubt v iniative and guilt
bandura’s socio cultural theories and reciprocal determinaism
applied vs. basic research
higher order conditionig
law of effect (thorndike)
latent vs. insight learning
bottom-up processing
pons functions- facial rec., dream formation, aiding cerebellum in voluntary movement
activation synthesis theory v. info processing theory
id/ego/superego
abs threshold vs. JND/difference thresh.
evolutionary &socio-cultural perspectives
James-lange theory
attitude (social psych)
association areas of brain
fore/hind/mid brain
adler and his theories
feature detection
SSRI
spontaneous recovery… LOL</p>
