One is willing to travel thousands of miles in order to see one from another view. Experiencing a truly superb sunset should definitely be experienced whenever one has the chance.]]> 2016-08-31 12:58:01 UTC https://padlet.com/ceciliarul5194/j7iebqpmm4ix/wish/120803161 ceciliarul5194 https://padlet.com/ceciliarul5194/j7iebqpmm4ix/wish/121057241 Structuralism Perspective: even our most complex conscious experiences can be broken down into elemental structures of sensations and feelings
Gestalt perspective: perceptions are wholes that give shape or meaning to parts, and that they;re more than sums of their parts, learning is purposeful
Functionalism Perspective: behavior functions in order to allow adaptations
Psychodynamic Perspective: unconscious desires are the root to psychological problems, many desires are sexual
Behaviorism Perspective: all behavior learned through environment, stress the use of measurement
Humanistic Perspective:people are free to choose their own behavior]]> 2016-09-01 12:30:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ceciliarul5194/j7iebqpmm4ix/wish/121057241 ceciliarul5194 https://padlet.com/ceciliarul5194/j7iebqpmm4ix/wish/121057284 Types of Research
Case Study:
~to examine one individual or group in  depth in hops of revealing things true of all of us
~Advantages: can be very revealing, show what can happen an directions for further study
~Disadvantages: person may be atypical, not all people are alike
Survey:
~looks at many cases in less depth
~estimates, from a representative sample of people, the attitudes or reported behaviors of the entire population
~Disadvantages: questions must be worded carefully, sampling bias
Naturalistic Observation:
~describes and records behavior in natural environments
~Advantages: description can be very revealing, pave way for later studies
~Disadvantages: "good subject effect" humans act better when they know they are being watched, takes a long time
Correlational Research:
~shows relationship, not what causes relationship
~Advantages:
~Disadvantages:
Experiment:
~tells you cause
~Advantages:
~Disadvantages:

How to Write an AP Essay
*Define all terms the first time they are used in the essay
Write legibly
Paragraphs, no bullet points
Do not use examples from personal life (psych research only)
Never imply anything, readers will not infer
Teach readers as if they know nothing
No intro or conclusion is necessary, but it is always a good idea
Use psychology terms (more than just what they ask for)
Recommended not to skip lines]]> 2016-09-01 12:30:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ceciliarul5194/j7iebqpmm4ix/wish/121057284 ceciliarul5194 https://padlet.com/ceciliarul5194/j7iebqpmm4ix/wish/121057358 Scientific method - 5 steps
Experiments may have more than one Hypothesis - something you are interested in
Hindsight bias: the fact that humans seem to think they're always right and they always want to be right

The Marshmallow Test
~IV: number of marshmallows, how long children had to wait, age of children
~DV: patience and length of time child can wait
~Do the children like marshmallows? Did they eat before they came or were they hungry?
~longitudinal: checked back in with children after their ACT and SAT, and found that the children who waited had higher scores

Longitudinal Research Study: research study done over time
Attrition rate: in longitudinal studies when children do not come back to complete research study
Confounding/extraneous/third variable: something that you do not manipulate in a study, but you don't think to control it, so it affects the results of the experiment
Random assignment: each subject must have an equal chance to be in controlled group or experimental group]]> 2016-09-01 12:30:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ceciliarul5194/j7iebqpmm4ix/wish/121057358 ceciliarul5194 https://padlet.com/ceciliarul5194/j7iebqpmm4ix/wish/122071272 Break the law or break the ethical code?
Ethical guidelines: 
-participation involuntary with informed consent
-food must be allergy consented
-subjects not exposed to harmful procedures
-if investigation requires some deception, the subject must be debriefed at the end to correct any misunderstandings asap
-right to privacy never violated (confidentiality)
-harmful procedure to animals must be thoroughly justified in terms of the knowledge to be gained from the study; lab animals entitled to decent living conditions]]> 2016-09-07 12:27:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ceciliarul5194/j7iebqpmm4ix/wish/122071272 ceciliarul5194 https://padlet.com/ceciliarul5194/j7iebqpmm4ix/wish/122073225 Hypothesis: a prediction or educated guess
Population (from where): sub selection
DV: measure influenced by IV
confounding variable: different than IV
Evaluation must be specific, don't just say statistics but what type

-nobody stopped any of the guards from doing harmful things to the prisoners
-the prisoners obeyed without question
-college kids chosen because they were healthy, and became emotionally unstable in just weeks
-the reality was so deep, even when the psychologist gave a prisoner the opportunity to leave, he said he had to prove that he was not a bad prisoner
-boy who resisted by hunger striking, guards took it out on other prisoners
-'once you put on the uniform, you feel powerful

Why ethics?
-lives were ruined by not following ethical codes
-dealings with humans, so you have to make sure you go through everything bad that could possibly happen
-nobody wants to hurt humans

3 types:
positive, negative, zero
