Let's Study Psych Together :)

<p>No, Jung belived in the collective conscious and all the symbols.</p>

<p>Distinguish the differences between central and peripheral routes of persuasion.</p>

<p><em>bump</em></p>

<p>this thread can't die!! i'm learning too much</p>

<p>Hhaahha, sorry guys, I mean Carl Rogers. hahah, Sometimes, I get dyslexic in the brain. both of the people's names started with Carl, but Rogers was humanistic. SORRY!! Compare and contrast Rogers and Maslow.</p>

<p>They were both humanistic psychologists. Carl Rogers developed humanistic types of therapy that I know absolutely nothing of, because I kind of haven't reviewed that section yet. Abraham Maslow created a hierarchy of needs.</p>

<p>Explain 4 Freudian defense mechanisms.</p>

<p>Repression- pushing thoughts out of conscious awareness
Displacement- directing one's feeling toward another person or object
-somebody yelling at a friend when they're really angry about a bad grade
Reaction Formation- expresses the opposite of how one truly feels
-the whole idea of how a boy actually likes a girl who he makes fun of
Sublimation- channels one's frustration toward a different, better goal
-instead of moping around, one could take advanced classes</p>

<p>NEW QUESTION: What are Erikson's psychosocial stages? (write the ages and the "blank vs. blank.") These come up on multiple choice!</p>

<p>Okay, I actually studied this. I might get some ages wrong, though.
1. Trust vs. Mistrust --> 0-1
2. Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt --> 1-2
3. Initiative vs. Guilt --> 2-5
4. Competence (or Industry) vs. Inferiority --> 6-adolescence
5. Identity vs. Role Confusion --> teens-early 20s
6. Intimacy vs. Isolation --> 20s-early 40s
7. Generativity vs. Stagnation -->40s-60s
8. Integrity vs. Despair --> 60s on</p>

<p>Explain how a person becomes fixated in one of Freud's psychosexual stages, and explain what happens if fixation occurs in three stages of your choice.</p>

<p>Trauma causes fixation.
Oral fixation -> like to bite things, chew gum, overeat, smoke
Anal fixation -> anal retentive, anal expulsive
Phallic fixation -> relationship problems
Genital fixation -> normal, likes ... sex.</p>

<p>What is the rooting reflex?</p>

<p>Freud's psychosexual stages include the following:
1. Oral stage (0-2 yrs): Fixation begins with the mouth, as sucking, biting, and swallowing occur in search of pleasure.
2. Anal stage (2-4 yrs): Fixation begins with the anus, as defecating or retaining faeces occur in search of pleasure.
3. Phallic stage (4-5 yrs): Fixation begins with the genitals, as the genitals become a source of pleasure.</p>

<p>Question: Explain the James-Lange theory of emotion, the Cannon-Bard theory of emotion, and the two-factor theory of emotion.</p>

<p>James-Lange -> Purely biological definition of emotion
Cannon-Bard -> Biology and cognition occur simultaneous
Two-factor -> Emotion is comprised of both biology and cognition</p>

<p>What is the rooting reflex?</p>

<p>You're explaining the stages, but you're using the term 'Fixation' all wrong.</p>

<p>Anyway, the rooting reflex is a baby's tendency to attempt to put something that stroked its cheek into its mouth.</p>

<p>The James-Lange theory states that emotion is created by biological reactions to an event. The Cannon-Bard theory states that biological responses are too similar for emotion to be determined solely from them. It's for this reason that Cannon and Bard theorized that emotion is determined by cognitive reactions to events, as well as biological reactions. Finally, the Two-Factor theory of emotion states that emotion is determined by two things, hence the name. The first is the biological response to the event, and the second is the cognitive label we place on it. So, if you are sitting on a bench in a parc reading, and all of a sudden, there's an extremely loud noise, you will be startled, which will cause the biological response of increased heart rate, blood pressure, etc. The cognitive label you might place on the situation might be, "I should be scared." The mix of the cognitive label and the biological reaction create the emotion.</p>

<p>Compare aptitude tests and achievement tests, speed tests and power tests, and group tests and individual tests.</p>

<p>aptitude tests: potential smartness
achievement tests: what you've learned-purely book smarts
speed tests: how many can do quickly
power tests: test full extent of knowledge by testing on hard questions
group tests: like the SAT, AP....
individual tests: very subjective, one on one evaluation</p>

<p>*Sorry for my slang and casual explanation--i'm in a hurry</p>

<p>Because it's close to test day, here are two questions:
1.Explain the difference between counter conditioning and systematic desensitization. </p>

<ol>
<li>Name the intelligence test that resulted from the discovery that some people(originally thought to be mentally retarded--like people with autism) were quite talented in specific and different areas of knowledge. These people were later termed, savants.</li>
</ol>

<ol>
<li>Counterconditioning a stimulus gets a different response. ex: like if you're addicted to drugs bc. they give you a high, a therapist tries to replace that relaxing feeling with one of pain or any other negative feeling.
counterconditioning is usually done by aversion therapy (aversive stimulus paired with the behavir client wishes to stop)
systematic desesitization- thereapist creates a hierarchial set of images related to that stress. it 's a lot like counterconditioning, just instead of replacing one stimulus all at once, it tries to move in steps toward the goal.</li>
</ol>

<h1>2? are you talking about gardner's M.I. test?</h1>

<p>question:discus cognitive therapy.</p>

<p>About the Systematic Desensitization thing, it's important to note that it involes imagining doing the things in the anxiety hierarchy. In vivo desensitization involes actually doing the things.</p>

<p>Cognitive therapists are a lot more imposing than some other types of therapists. They seek to confront the dysfunctional thoughts that are causing the client's problems. They use Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (RET) is based on this principle. Some cognitive therapists believe that people suffering from depression often have negative thoughts about each area of their cognitive triad. Thus, some therapy is based on creating more positive thoughts in this triad.</p>

<p>I think we should as two questions each time. It's a good idea.</p>

<ol>
<li>What are the Big Five personality traits?</li>
<li>Explain language acquisition.</li>
</ol>

<p>Okay, I'm off to do a practice test. Wish me luck!</p>

<p>This thread must not die.</p>

<p>how did your practice test go.</p>

<p>oOo i remember the Big 5!
Our teacher taught it as the Big (open) OCEAN!
Openness Conscientiousness Extraversion Agreeableness Neuroticism</p>

<p>lol, It went okay. I did the first one in Barron's. I found that some of the questions they asked in the MC weren't covered by the book. I did well on the MC, nevertheless, but I kinda screwed up on the FR. I got 4/9 points in each section because I either didn't go into enough detail, or went into too much detail on something they weren't looking for. I know that AP graders are really nitpicky, so I was harsh when I was correcting. I still scraped by with a 5, though.</p>

<p>And that OCEAN thing is really going to help me :)</p>

<p>Okay, so, language acquisition, anyone?</p>

<p>I think it was Noam Chomsky who said that all humans are born with a language acquisition device, which enables them to learn language.</p>

<p>The difference between alturism and aggression?</p>

<p>i dont know any of these. ive been focusing on apush for the past 2 weeks. gah, im screwed. next person can answer, i'll just read....
BUMP!</p>

<p>Aren't altruism and aggression almost opposites... or don't really have that much to do with each other?
Altruism is doing good deeds, and helping people without expecting anything in return. You're doing good for the good of it.
Aggression is self explanatory... it is behavior intended to do harm or cause pain</p>
