...Kathlyn Jones Concepts Review Hum/186 One example of how I received news this week in the mass media was through the internet. As I am on the computer all the time, this gives me the option to read the articles I want when I want. If I don’t find the article interesting then I can just skip over it. I don’t have to wait for the news to come on television or have to wait during a commercial break on the radio. There are so many different choices you can get the news media now days. The internet is just the one that I prefer with my schedule. I viewed several different articles last week one of them regarding the wounded warriors in Iraq. This is so sad to me. This one particular article the lady lost both of her legs, she talked about the VA health care she received. That some veterans are not even receiving the healthcare they need. Most likely all has to do with this great Obama care we have. Another article I read was one where a Park Ranger loses his job while dancing on the clock. I was thinking how can you lose your job just by dancing. This particular man was apparently dancing provocatively while on the job like you would see in “R” rated movies. These parks are family oriented. Parents were catching him dancing around grabbing himself going down to the ground and getting back up. Sounds pretty crazy but I guess if your on a family camping trip this is probably what you would least expect your children to see in the camp grounds. I don’t see a problem with dancing...

...Motivations in Advertising Amanda Perkins PSY/211 11/27/2015 Judy Manning According to Management Innovations, motivation is “the driving force within individuals that impels them to action.” From a marketing perspective, this force is produced by an uncomfortable tension, which makes the individual have an unsatisfied need. Consumer Motivation. (2008). Verizon Wireless has a promotion where a customer trades in their old iPhone to get a free updated version of the iPhone 6. Schreier, J. (Director). (2014). The motivations being targeted in the advertisement are incentives and social. The incentive motivation is applied when the customer brings in his or her old iPhone to a Verizon store to receive an updated version free of charge. The social motivation is applied because almost every smartphone user has the iPhone 6 or another version of the iPhone. The individual wants to feel like they belong in society; so by trading in their old iPhone and getting a new updated version, the individual can now feel like they are riding on the bandwagon. The motivations not targeted in the video clip are fear, achievement, growth, and power. There are six different theories of motivation; instinct, evolution, drive, arousal, incentive, and hierarchal. The instinct and evolution theories can be compared by the environment. In both theories, behavior is affected by the environment an individual is in. Learn Psychology (pp. 362-363). The drive and arousal theories...

...Introduction To Psychology Worksheet Curtis Lee Morrissette Jr PSY/211 08/12/2015 University of Phoenix Origins of Psychology In 1913, The Behavioral Perspective was founded by American psychologist, John B. Watson. Behavioral is one out of several perspectives used to describe, predict, and explain human behavior. The behavioral perspective focuses primarily on observable and measurable aspects of human behavior. B. F. Skinner was an American psychologist that would later refine the behavioral perspective. Radical behaviorism includes operant conditioning where actions are strengthened or reinforced. For example I enjoy playing Basketball because it clears my mind, so I am more then likely going to play basketball more. The Humanistic Perspective is used to describe, predict and explain human behavior by focusing on how personality, behavior, and mental processes are influenced by an innate capacity for personal growth. It also pat attention to creativity, free will, and human potential. Humanistic Perspective is often called the “third force” it is the response to the limitation of Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic and B.F. Skinner’s behaviorism. Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers are two of the most famous founders of humanistic perspective which rose to prominence in the mid-20 century. The Psychodynamic Perspective is how unconscious or conscious processes determine human behavior. Psychodynamics studies the mind, personality, or psyche as they relate...

...TESTING A THEORY TREMAINE L. GARNER PSY/211 - ESSENTIALS OF PSYCHOLOGY 03/12/12 INSTRUCTOR: IOANNIS PAPAZAFIROPOULOS Testing a Theory A coworker and I were bored one day at the preschool we worked at and decided to test out a theory about kids and their manners. We worked in a preschool that also did after care. The age ranges of the kids in the soon to be experiment were from three years of age to twelve. We started testing the kids and their manners for a workday; I figured the younger kids had better manners then the older kids and my coworker thought the opposite. We tested the kids without their knowledge. It was simple things we were looking for holding the door open for someone, picking something up if someone dropped it, saying please and thank you, sharing and so on. Thinking back on it I would say there was experimental bias being that the teachers were there to correct the mistakes we were looking for. Since it was a theory being tested between coworkers I am sure there was a bit of competition as to who wins as well. If given an opportunity to test this theory again I would most likely try testing the theory for a few more days, spend a day with each group. It would be hard to test on a theory like this one with consent, I believe, because the older kids would have been on their best behavior. Ethically we should have informed the parents that the kids were being tested on their behavior and gotten permission since they were all under age. Since it...

...Theory Charlie Salmon PSY/211 ESSENTIALS OF PSYCHOLOGY May 20, 2011 Alberta Robinson Theory Theory is something I use on a daily basis whether it be at work, at school or at home. Sometimes I even use theory when I am on vacation. At my previous job I used theory on everyday customers. When they come in, most of the time, just judging by their looks and body language I can usually predict on how much they will spend in the store. I do know that judging a person solely on his or her looks is not the proper way of judging, but unfortunately most of the time this is correct. Fortunately, I have had the chance to test out a theory I have while I was on vacation one year. I was on my way to Laughlin to go gamble at the casinos there during my visit to Las Vegas. I was in a hurry to get there because I didn’t want to spend all day driving. So on the way to Laughlin I had gotten pulled over by Highway Patrol for going to fast and unfortunately the officer gave me a speeding ticket. After that, I had the hunch that I was going to lose. And sure enough, I was right. Since then, every time I go to a casino to gamble and I rush to get there, I end up of losing Similarities between my research and that done by psychiatrists are very similar because both my research and a psychiatrist’s research are done by experimenting. I have experimented my theory and deemed it to be true. If I was given another opportunity to go back to my Las Vegas vacation, I would slow down and take my...

...Testing a Theory Julio Melara PSY 211 August 24, 2011 Gloria S. Ringsby Bringing a Fly Back From the Dead I do not remember where or from whom, but several years I heard that someone could bring back a fly from the dead by completely covering it in salt. I was very skeptic when I first heard about this wanted to see if it was true so decided to try for myself. I did not do any kind of formal research as I thought this was just another wild story someone had started after they probably had too many drinks and thought they saw a fly come back to life. In any case I started to kill flies and pour salt on them but could not get any of them to come back to life. After talking to one of my friends probably just joking around, the subject came up and he told me the theory about bringing a dead fly back to life was true; the trick was you could not completely squash the life out of the fly. The trick to doing this was to catch the fly and kill it by drowning it. So I decided to give it another shot and try it. One day at friends house while enjoying a nice swim I was able to catch a fly and drown it in the pool. After I knew the fly was dead I completely covered it in salt, and after what seemed to be a couple of minutes the fly started to crawl out from under the salt and took flight again. This not only made a believer out of me but I was also able to amaze my friends around the pool on that day by performing this trick. I would say that what I did to test this theory...

...PSY/211 February 10, 2013 Kurtis Armstrong Motivation and Emotion The five approaches to motivation are the instinct approach, drive-reduction approach, arousal approach, incentive approach, and cognitive approach. Each approach has a different affect on motivation. In the instinct approach psychologists believe the behavior is biologically determined and not learned (Feldman, 2010). The drive-reduction approach suggests that the motivation is driven by having to satisfy a personal need. According to Feldman (2010), “arousal approaches seek to explain behavior in which the goal is to maintain or increase excitement”. The incentive approach to motivation suggests it is driven by the environment that direct and energize behavior. The last approach is the cognitive approach, which suggests thoughts, expectations and understanding of the world are behind motivation. The main emotions identified in the text are physical, behavioral and subjective. Schachter cognitive arousal theory, also known as the two factor theory of motion two steps must take place. Physical arousal happens first, and then the person must determine the reason behind the arousal in order for it to be an emotion. In the common sense theory a stimulus leads to an emotion which then creates a response. Being student at any age can cause a person to feel various emotions. One positive emotion a student may experience is the feeling of pride. Being a student is tough work, it is a job all on its own. Knowing...

...MASLOW HIERARCHY Maslow Hierarchy University of Phoenix PSY/ 211 Christina Hawkey In Maslow's Hierarchy of needs several things are brought to the surface for example, there is a pyramid of information. In which Maslow separates from bottom being the least and most obtainable, all the way to the top being the most important. At the bottom it begins with physiological needs like, breathing, food, water, and even sex are put into this category of needs. In this case sex can be a need in which it might not be a crucial to obtain to survive. Throughout time in both past and present many people have practiced abstinence and no fatalities have occurred because of this. Safety is the next layer of the pyramid, were security of all types are needed like, financial stability, employment, family, health , and many others that are at some point required to survive because it helps keep us sane. Love and belonging are the next ones on the list, including friendship and family. Esteem is also on this and with it provides confidence, respect, and all those things that give us strength and make us feel good on our daily routine. Finally self accomplishment is on the top with morality, creativity, acceptance of facts, and all in one creating a balance in which we feed off and pushes us to move on with life everyday. All of these facts are to me in some way a part of motivation for the reason that if...
