n, they now follow this with a smaller request, which, unknown to the customer, wastheir target all along.
I think that we see this more often then we think, the best example that I can think of is in the movie "The Greatest Showman" when Carlyle asks for a high share of the show and then is talked down by P.T. Barnum to 10%.
The phrase "for a good cause" was an influential enough hot button that the exactcause didn't seem to matter
I think that this is interesting in that we are seeing more and more adds for products that are trying to get us to buy it by having things such as "we will donate x amount of profits to x cause" and people think that is a good cause so they will be more willing to buy that good over others.
If two people near you look up and point you will automaticallylook up yourself.
I never really thought about that before, but now that it has been brought to my attention I do find myself doing this often. I think that this is very interesting that it is just something that happens and is just reflexive.
clients often do not know enough about social fears to discussthem with their doctors.
I think that this is something that needs to be addressed. The lack of understanding of any subject can cause mistrust in it and can lead to issues such as this or the stigmatization of having any sort of psychological issue.
SADaffects men and women about equally, and the majority of people with SAD report that theirfears began in early adolescence, typically around age 13
I think that this is very interesting. I know that a lot of the disorders that are listed in the DSM have a sway towards one sex
Unfortunately, only a small proportion of people with socialanxiety disorder actually seek treatment
I think that this is very upsetting. I understand that due to their social anxiety that this is very had to seek help due to the fear of judgment, but this also happens with a lot of other disorders just because it is so stigmatized in out society that getting help for a psychological problem is bad but not getting help for a physical problem
Everyone experiences social anxiety someof the time, but for a minority of people, the frequency and intensity of social anxiety is intenseenough to interfere with meaningful activities (
I think that this is a common misconception that people have. People often are often like "it is my anxiety" but it really is not sever enough truly be classified as such.
It is also worth mentioning that social comparison and its effects on self-evaluation will oftendepend on personality and individual differences.
I think that this is very true. My twin brother and I are so similar in all of our experiences, but our personalities are so different how we react to situations can be completely different
He notices quickly through observing others—i.e., social comparison—that when greeting a person, it is normal to place his own palmstogether rather than shaking the other person’s hand.
I think that this is really interesting that in other cultures that having a handshake is not the way to great each other in other cultures . I can totally see how using something like that to help understand that things are going to be the same and they need to adjust to the new culture
Or, you might not be certain about which fork to use first in a multi-course place setting. In these types of instances people are prone to look toward others—tomake social comparisons—to help fill in the gaps.
I feel like this situation is similar to how you would do if you were learning a skill such as dance that is very structured in order to prefect the techniques needed for that particular dance you may need to mimic someone to learn the dance
For example, we tendto underestimate how much time it will take us to complete a task, whether it is writing apaper, finishing a project at work, or building a bridge—a phenomenon known as the planningfallacy
I recently watched a TED video on procrastinators that said something similar and was really relatable. It talked about this situation for the speaker as well in regards to him doing his thesis and how he related to underestimating the time it would take and the time that he had to complete it.
A script for dining at a restaurant would indicate that one shouldwait to be seated by the host or hostess, that food should be ordered from a menu, and thatone is expected to pay the check at the end of the meal.
I think that this is really interesting and something that I never really thought about before. Having these event schemas are really useful I think to people who are more socially reserved as it helps them get through events that they might find uncomfortable
Not only can our pastexperiences, expectations, motivations, and moods impact our reasoning
I think this is super important factor on how we perceive our selves in the eyes of other. Such as "i need to look good for them to lie me" or those people who try to fill in a conversation when it starts to die down because to them if they do not it will be bad on their relationship with them if they let it since they are the "mood maker"
Understanding and practicingempathic consent requires sexual literacy and an ability to effectively communicate desiresand limits, as well as to respect others’ parameters
I think that the US is lacking in this sexual literacy in comparison to other countries such as Germany where their sexual education is more extensive and they get it from another age as compared to in the US people can opt not to take the class in some states and the education doesn't begin till high school.
(gender role) representations of biological sex.
I think that now and days, particularly we are seeing some change in the views of traditional gender roles in the USA. We are seeing more women in the workforce as well as seeing men taking the more at home role and this change may be due to the increasing of societal participation by women.
These studies suggest that expressing gratitude to someone you are close to is animportant way of making positive relationship deposits
I definitely feel that this is true when you realize that you are grateful for having a person around you feel a deeper sense of connection and that sense of connection is critical to having any successful relationship
when the listener points out somethingnegative about what is said, it is called active-destructive responding.
With this to me it feels that you are invalidating the positive thing that is happening to the other person, such as if they found something that they want to do as a career and your friend with this type of response is telling you that you should not pursue this dream.
iven that 60% to 80% of the time, people disclose their most positive daily experiences withtheir partner (Gable et al., 2004), this becomes a regular opportunity for intimacy building.
I think that this is pretty interesting. We often do tell people the good things that are going on in our lives but I did not realize that we did so that often
Some suggest that the best way to spelllove is T-I-M-E. In our fast-paced society,many relationships are time deprived.
This is so true. It feels that everything is going 100 mph or faster and there is a pressure to be in a relationship and get married and if people do not spend enough time getting to know one another then it is not going to turn out well
When we disclose certain private things about ourselves, we increase the potential intimacythat we can have with another person, however, we also make ourselves vulnerable to gettinghurt by the other person.
I think that this is something that is incredibly important to understand, especially for something that could be life changing for the individual, for example coming out as gay to a family member and them not accepting them for who they are.
various insectspecies have evolved particularly complexsocial systems, known as eusociality.Characterized by a division of labor,eusociality appears to have evolvedindependently at least 11 times in insects
Along with bees another organism is ants. they have a unique chemical communication that allows for them to let others of that colony know who an enemy is as well as letting them know where food is and how far away that food is.
esearch has shown that at the end of people’s lives,their primary regret is not spending more time with the peoplethey love
I have personally seen that with some of my family when my grandmother passed away she was saying towards the end, that she had wished she had changed some of her lifestyle so that she could be with her family more.
These and other experiments suggest that males and females have different copingstrategies, and possibly may experience both stressful experiences, and even love, in waysthat are gender-specific.
I think that this is very important to know because we often think that everything effects others the same way that you do and that is not the case. knowing that there is a difference in the ways that males and females experience love is very important in understanding and developing relationships.
However, recenthuman experiments have shown thatintranasal delivery of oxytocin canfacilitate social behaviors, including eyecontact and social cognition
This reminds me of another study that used insulin that used an internasal delivery to help with the effects of Alzheimer's. It was found to help with memory recall as well as short term memory retention.
xytocin’s cellular receptors areregulated by other hormones and epigenetic factors. These receptors change and adaptbased on life experiences. Both oxytocin and the experience of love can change over time.
I think that this is important to note because many people often forget that environmental factors play an important part on how people respond to stimuli such as Oxycontin and how these shape the ability for the body to respond as in how high of a concentration is needed in order to get a reaction o occur
Cohabitation is defined as an arrangement in which two people whoare romantically live together even though they are not married (Prinz, 1995).
My cousin did this with her now husband. They had been dating for a few years and they decided to move together and it seemed that it actually strengthen their relationship as you get to see ones partners at all different parts of the day and all states of put together, instead of just how they want you to see them.
n some cultures, however, it is notuncommon for the families of youngpeople to do the work of finding a mate forthem. For example, the Shanghai MarriageMarket refers to the People’s Park inShanghai, China—a place where parents ofunmarried adults meet on weekends totrade information about their children inattempts to find suitable spouses for them(Bolsover, 2011)
I think that this is a very interesting difference in our cultures, to me it seems that there is a much deeper connection to the parents and a very high level of trust in their parents as they are trying to find their child someone suitable to them, this may also be useful in the fact that the parents have more life experience and the children thinking that things would work out end up getting a divorce where as the parents might say "no, they may seem good now but a few years down the road'. However on the other hand since the parents want the best for their children they may overlook the perfect match just because of their career choice.
elements involved in intimacy (caring,closeness, and emotional support) are generally found in all types of close relationships
I think that this is very improtant to understand that intimacy is not only for the romantic relationships that people have. I have some close friends that we do everything together and we are the emotional support for each other. We are apart of all aspects of each others lives and I think that a lot of people feel that that can't be an relationship with intimacy.
While many make the argument that opposites attract, research has foundthat is generally not true; similarity is key. Sure, there are times when couples can appear fairlydifferent, but overall we like others who are like us.
I think that this is very interesting and shows how there are many misconceptions about what a good relationship needs. We always hear the phrase opposites attract and so people not knowing any better will look for that and some people end up looking for a long time and never finding the right person.
More specifically, the goodgenes hypothesis proposes that people withphysical qualities like averageness, symmetry,sex prototypicality, and youthfulness are moreattractive because they are better-quality mates
We actually talk a little about this in the BIO 303 class which is evolution and like the text says here because these are often indicators of health. anther example is in peacocks and how having more bright and colorful tail feathers shows that they don't have any parasites and are health and able to produce healthy offspring
This advantageis termed the attractiveness halo effect, and it is widespread
I never heard of this term before now, I always saw this beforehand but I think that it is nice that I can finally put a term to what I am seeing.
Arguably, this is theparenting style used by Harry Potter’s harsh aunt and uncle, and Cinderella’s vindictivestepmother.
I feel that you may be more likely see an authoritarian style of parenting when you have a family in the military due to the fact that the parents jobs are so very structured and they want their house to be run in a similar fashion. Some of these parents may forget that these are children and not fellow offices or subordinates that they are dealing with and they may forget to show their supporting side to their children and I have actually seen it in quite a few friends as I am grew up near a military base and had a lot of friends that their parents were/ are in the military.
Chinese culture viewingstrictness in parenting as related to training, which is not central to American parenting
I find this very interesting that there is a difference in the more successful parenting style due to the cultural differences, I do know that countries such as China and Japan that there is a more collectivist view where you work for the good of the group/community but seeing these differences as well goes on to show how much different the western and eastern cultural perspectives are.
for people who have a hard time meeting and maintainingrelationships, due to shyness, anxiety, or lack of face-to-face social skills, the Internet providesa safe, nonthreatening place to develop and maintain relationships
I think that this brings up a good point in that in modern times the use of the internet has helped people to be more comfortable and relaxed with others, I have heard of people who are in gaming communities that are more willing to share with them then their actual family. However this also can bring up issues in that people are able to project onto others a possible different persona then who they actually are and it is easy to get away with lies on the internet, for example stating that you exercise almost everyday when in reality you have never done any sort of exercise in like 5 years.
