...Estrus In Women May Not Be Lost Estrus is a phase of increased female sexual receptivity, proceptivity, and attractiveness that is common amongst mammalian species ( [Lange et al., 2002] and [Lombardi, 1998] as cited in [Miller, Tybur, Jordan, 2007] ). Its purpose appears to be designed to obtain sires of superior genetic quality ( [Gangestad et al., 2005] and [Thornhill, 2006] as cited in [Miller, Tybur, Jordan, 2007] ). Today, estrus in female humans has been said to have disappeared or been hidden over evolutionary time ( [e.g. Burt, 1992] as cited in [Miller, Tybur, Jordan, 2007] ). Correlational research assessed whether women’s ovulation cycles affected the amount of tips that lap dancers earned at a gentlemen’s club in Albuquerque. Through the study they found implications for human evolution, economics and sexuality and that it appears to still be present in females (Miller, Tybur, Jordan, 2007). Miller, Tybur, and Jordan stated that if estrus is still present in women, men tend to subconsciously tip more during lap dances. In addition they predicted that normally cycling participants would demonstrate a larger increase in the fertile phase relative to the other phases for pill-using participants (2007). The argument for using lap dances as a measure for estrus is that at a gentlemen’s club, all of the dancers are already motivated to earn as much tips as possible. If estrus is present in woman, the researches stated the dancers would earn more during this...

...APPLICATION: SENSATION AND PERCEPTION EXAMINED PSYC 1002-1 Psychology as a Natural Science Dr. Gerald Nissley Jr. Sensation and perception play two complementary, but different roles in how you experience the world. Your sensory receptors and nervous system send information from your senses like room temperature or the smell of perfume to the brain in raw form. Perception is the process of organizing and interpreting sensory information. Perception is the process of organizing and interpreting sensory information. Perception is what allows you to make meaning out of what you see, hear, taste, touch and smell. Factors like experiences, assumptions, and expectations help form perception” (Walden.edu). Senses enable us to detect external stimuli and react to them. A stimulus can be defined a detectable change in the external or internal environment of an organism (Weiner, 2003). A reaction to external stimuli is referred to as a response. We have gotten used to our senses, and it would be a very difficult question to answer when one is asked to choose one sense that is most difficult to live without. It is a fact that our senses complement each other, for example, you will hear a sound then you will look towards the direction from which the sound is coming from. You also smell food before you taste, the senses contribute to our perception. For example, according to our perception we expect that food that smells good to taste good too. ...

...Writing Assignment Bryant & Stratton College PYSC 101 Scott Rogers February 6, 2015 Studies have shown that the optimum amount of sleep a person should get each night is seven to eight hours. Many people have trouble getting this amount of sleep. Between work, family obligations, and household chores, often a person gets only a few hours of sleep a night. My test revealed that I show symptoms of sleep apnea, a potentially serious sleep disorder, and I show symptoms of insomnia, which is defined as a persistent inability to fall asleep or stay asleep. I agree/disagree with the findings I do not have trouble breathing as the sleep apnea says. I could have a case of insomnia I do have a hard time falling asleep and staying asleep for a period of time. I also can not sleep without the television on, may sound crazy, but it helps me to draw out the thoughts I may have and it concentrates on the television voices so it take away my thoughts. The steps I could take to get more sleep would be, sticking to a regular sleep schedule, pay attention to what I eat and drink, get more comfortable, and manage my stress. Having sleep deprivation has a definite effect on a persons learning, memory, and the ability to think clearly. Not getting enough sleep can have serious effects on a person emotionally. Who would be in a good mood when they are tired? When a person body tries to run on fumes it does not leave enough energy to keep a person in a good mood. You should know your...

...Running Head: Facial Expression of Emotions FACIAL EXPRESSION OF EMOTIONS Pysc 380 – Physiological Psychology Abstract Emotions are shown in many different ways. One way in which are emotions are show in is our facial expressions. Facial expressions are responses that are innate, unlearned, automatic behavior. What causes these innate responses and what do they mean? There have been many articles and studies done on trying to understand all possible aspects of human and animal facial expressions. The emotional aspects of these facial expressions are vastly different. The goal of this paper is to better understand, both psychologically and physiologically, the nature of communication of emotions through facial expressions. Facial Expression of Emotions The warmth of a smile or a face contorted in anger, facial expressions tell the world our emotional state. Facial expressions relay information faster than words can be spoken. Ralph Adolphs wrote an article entitled “Perception and Emotion, How we recognize Facial Expressions.” In this article the author states on how some emotional responses through facial expressions are so fast that it is not possible for someone to be aware of the stimulus (Adolphs, 2006.) There have been many studies of how facial expressions can create activity almost immediately in a person’s brain. These studies are of importance because it helps the theory that cognitive judgment...
