    1. whenpotential customers were asked to "buy acookie for a good cause" the number roseto 12 out of 30. It seems that the phrase "agood cause" triggered a willingness to act.In fact, when the phrase "a good cause" waspaired with a locally-recognized charity(known for its food-for-the-homelessprogram)

      This statement is 100% accurate people are more likely to act on an cause when there is some type of reward for the action for instance if you are helping with an good cause you are able to tell people yea I helped with that cause. while if you were simply asking people to donate you may not get as much help because, people may feel it is not as important.

    1. To be adult means among other things to see one’s own life in continuous perspective, bothin retrospect and prospect. By accepting some definition of who he is, usually on the basis ofa function in an economy, a place in the sequence of generations, and a status in the structureof society, the adult is able to selectively reconstruct his past in such a way that, step for step, itseems to have planned him, or better, he seems to have planned it.

      The quote is very true I have learned as an new adult you look at the things you have previously learned in your life from a different perspective. You begin to learn your own views an learn how to access there lives.

    1. When social anxiety and avoidance interfere with a person’s ability to function in importantroles (e.g., as a student, worker, friend), the condition is called social anxiety disorder (SAD),also known as social phobia (American Psychiatric Association, 2013)

      This statement is very true social anxiety is an real problem. Many people have trouble going through their every day lives unable to complete task that many people find simple. For example people with social anxiety are unable to simply run to the store and get an item this is something that they find completely terrifying.

    1. social comparison. Occurring frequently in our lives,social comparison shapes our perceptions, memory, and behavior—even regarding the mosttrivial of issues. In this module, we will take a closer look at the reasons we make socialcomparisons and the consequences of the social comparison process.

      This is something that we see everyday people all over the world competing with one another to become the best. wither it be the best at their job or who has the better car or house. In someways I believe it could be an good thing but over all I do not believe so.

    1. our mood and motivations can influence both the way we think and the decisionswe ultimately make. Mood can shape our thinking even when the mood is irrelevant to thejudgment, and our motivations can influence our thinking even if we have no particularpreference about the outcome.

      This statement is very true the mood you are in shapes everything you are doing going to do and have done. I have learned from experience that if you are in an bad mood your entire day is going to go horrible. Nothing you do is going to go correct. The same goes for if your mood is happy your days goes well and nothing goes wrong.

    1. In a poll, 49%of all American adults reported that either themselves or someone they knew had dated aperson they met online (Madden & Lenhart, 2006).

      This pole does not surprise me with today's world is,many people are now meeting on line falling in love and becoming married. They have become so popular that there are specific websites that people can use to find the love of their lives.

    1. At an early age, webegin learning cultural norms for what is considered masculine and feminine. For example,children may associate long hair or dresses with femininity. Later in life, as adults, we oftenconform to these norms by behaving in gender-specific ways: as men, we build houses; aswomen, we bake cookies

      This statment is as true as can be as an young girl I was always taught that is was an girls job to take care of the inside of the house. It was an girls job to take care of her husband. It was her responsibility to make sure he had an hot meal and clean clothes and come home to a clean house and well kept wife. Although in my personal opinion I think this should be changed I do not feel that there should be things as gender roles boys and girls should be free to do as they please.

    1. In Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, Covey (1989) compared human relationships to actualbank accounts—suggesting that every day we make deposits or withdrawals from ourrelationship accounts with each person in our lives.

      I really like this quote, I have never thought about relationships as an bank account. Although it makes since for an relationship to work two people must put in work to have a successful relationship, It takes deposits and withdraws and lots of long time investments.

    1. Such increasedexposure could sensitize the infant to defensive behaviors or create a lifelong tendency tooverreact to threat

      Is this why you tend to have infants who are more aggressive to others? Or adults who are aggressive or angry at all times for no reason? when I say infant who is aggressive I am not referring to children that take toys away from one another. I am talking about the one who physically fight other children, in the way of biting , hitting, punching eta?

    2. Human mothers also form a strong and lasting bondwith their newborns immediately after birth, in a time period that is essential for thenourishment and survival of the baby.

      This statement makes perfect since to me.When babies are born they are taken to the mother for skin to skin bonding right away. The same is done when a child is going to be adopted, the child is immediately given to the adopted parents to form a bond.

    1. Is all love the same? Are there differenttypes of love?

      I believe that all love is not the same. A person can say I love pizza its my favorite food. Then a person can have love for other person. Then you can go deeper into explaining this type of love one can love there parents a love that is unbreakable, these are the people who have taken care of you all of your life. so this love is unconditional. Then there is the love partners have for one another. This love however is one that is deeper then what one will give to an family member. It is one that is explainable an unimaginable.

    1. Attractive men and women become sexually active earlier than their less attractivepeers. Also, attractiveness in men is positively related to the number of short-term, but notlong-term, sexual partners, whereas the reverse is true for women (Rhodes, Simmons, &Peters, 2005)

      I completely agree with this quote. From my own observations I have noticed that men who are more attractive.Tend to have more short term relationships then those who are less attractive.The reason I think this is so, is men who are more attractive feel as though they can have any women that they please so they choose to not settle down with just one. Its also that those who are more attractive become sexually active earlier then those who are not. For example it is always noticed that girls who developed before others in their class. Seem to become sexually active before those who are not yet developed.

    1. Are there people in your lifeyou consider family who are not necessarilyrelated to you in the traditional sense?

      I am going to agree with what Jessica said when she stated that. You do not have to be directly related to someone to be considered family to them. For example I met my best friend at lander. An we have become so close that we consider each other to be sisters. Her family treats me as so even going as far as inviting me over during the holidays and school breaks.
