...Philip Gabriel G. Gimotea BSN – 1 (NA) Psych 1 Terms 1. Human development – is a well-being concept within a field of international development. It involves studies of the human condition with its core being the capability approach. The inequality adjusted Human Development Index is used as a way of measuring actual progress in human development by the United Nations. It is an alternative approach to a single focus on economic growth, and focused more on social justice, as a way of understanding progress. 2. Chromosomes – structure carrying genetic information, found only in the cell nucleus of eukaryotes. Thread-like and composed of DNA, chromosomes carry a specific set of genes. Each species usually has a characteristic number of chromosomes; these occur in pairs, members of which carry identical genes, so that most cells are diploid. Gametes carry a haploid number of chromosomes. 3. Genes – genes are chemical packets contained in chromosomes and are too small to be seen under the microscope. They are carriers of hereditary units and they are able to duplicate themselves. Aside from reproducing themselves, genes are able to control the chemical processes of a cell, determining the kind of tissue to be formed. 4. Zygote – cell formed by the fusion of the male and female sex cells, or gametes, before the fused cell begins to divide and become an embryo. A zygote is a diploid cell, that is, it contains a full set of chromosomes, half of them from each...

...Social Psychology Robert Moret PSY/400 December 12, 2015 Prof. Norris Edwards Social Psychology What exactly are the aspects that mold our view points? What makes some people followers rather than leaders? At what point does racism form and why does it form in the first place? These are but some of the queries that involve the arena of social psychology. Social psychology is really just a branch of psychology that takes an in depth look at people in a social context. It is a mix of personalities, behavior, feelings and motivation and how it’s influenced by others and society. There are many facets that this discipline looks at, from how people behave when in groups to society’s perception of values and moral behavior. It covers a wide range of topics. Anyone that has ever lived has had their behavior influenced by other individuals. Observing other people and how they behave is how we learned to behave. If a child were to be raised by a pack of wild wolves then that child would grow up to exhibit behavior tendencies more akin to them then he would to other human beings. Simply because that is everything the child ever knew. So it is easy to see how social influences can affect behavior in us and in others. There are numerous ways that people can have an impact on our behavior, though maybe the most significant one is that having others around...

...Since I am a BS Pysch major student, it is necessary for us to study all the theories related in our course. In our Theories of Personality subject, we studied the theory of Sigmund Freud which is the Psychosexual Development. In this theory, Freud stated that Adult Personality problems were the result of “early experiences in life”. And I agree with Freud on this, because I strongly believe that everything that happened to us in the past will affect us in our present/future life. Freud also mentioned in this theory that we go through 5 stages of Psychosexual Development, and that we experience pleasure in one part of the body than the others. These 5 stages mentioned were Oral, Anal, Phallic, Latency and Genital. Also Oedipus complex, Levels of Mental Life (Unconscious, Preconscious, and Conscious), The Provinces of Mind (Id, Superego, and Ego) The dynamics of personality, Types of Anxiety and its defense mechanism, The stages of Development and his concept of Humanity were discussed in this theory. Sigmund Freud is undeniably one of the most controversial figures in psychology. He claimed that his work was original and upon research it was proven to be just flawed proclamation. Among the list of criticisms were: his subjective method, his unscientific/ vast concepts, and the exaggeration on sex as the motive for behaviour. Although Freud focused on Sexual Needs or whatever you call it, I still like his theory. If I am to rate it from 1-10 as 10 the highest, I’d rate...

...Shelly Leffingwell Intro to Pysch 1050 Winter 2014 January 25, 15 Alzheimer’s: Could it be type 3 diabetes? I choose this article because I am interested in Alzheimer’s research. I want to know the physical impact of the disease on the body and how it is changing the mind of the person. This disease is on the rise as baby boomers come of age; if there is a way to prevent or minimize the aliments of the disease I want to know how to best treat people as they are progressing through the aging. Memories of people are what shape the social history of a community and country at large. Losing those memories means that a part of history will be lost unless we figure out how to preserve it before it is gone. On a personal level those memories maybe the key to a genetic disease or maybe the exposure of a harmful chemical that is now taking its toll on the body of the person. When a mind is lost we lose a living part of our personal and social history that may explain how society got where it is. The article explains how insulin affects the brain. Insulin is a key factor in brain activity because it is the sugar the body runs on. Insulin is one a few components that cross the blood brain barrier, when it does not make it to the brain the brain reacts with shrinkage.

...Improving Organizational Performance Kenyetta PYSCH/ 428 May 06, 2013 Marianne Narick Improving Organizational Performance Organizations prove successful by the business structure, communication with employees and job satisfaction. There are many ways to accomplish such goals with team building strategies and communication. According to www.boundless.com, “Job satisfaction can be influenced by a person's ability to complete required tasks, the level of communication in an organization, and the way management treats employees. It isn't always easy to measure job satisfaction as the definition of satisfaction can be different for different people. If an organization is concerned about job satisfaction of their employees, management may want to conduct surveys to determine what type of strategies to implement”. Airdevils Inc, is an aerial stunts performance facility in Salt Lake City, Utah. The company was founded in 1995 by one of the best female stunt performers, Celsey Evans and five other performers of the same expertise. By the next year, Airdevils’ workforce expanded to 115 crew members. With a thriving business and company workforce expansion, the founding partners retired from stunt performances and formed the top management staff.

...Criminal Responsibility within Children Misty M. Lane PYSCH 210-B16 Liberty University Abstract According to Berger (2011), early childhood is defined as the ages two through six. During this time the child does what he/she knows best and learns through the act of playing. However, what happens when a child accidentally commits a crime can cause controversy. The purpose of this case study is to determine at what age is a child held criminally responsible. The law states that children under the age of seven are not considered criminally responsible for committing a criminal act. Within this case study, we will explore and support why developmental factors within this age group support the legal system. Criminal Responsibility within Children In Michigan, a child at the age of six stole a weapon from his home and accidentally murdered a fellow student that he had argued in the past. When the child was questioned about the crime, he stated it was an accident and he was only trying to scare her. What role does development play in the decision making process at this age? According to Berger (2011), a child at the age of six lacks the brain maturation and development that would allow to purposefully commit a criminal act. The pre-frontal cortex is responsible for the brain’s decisions. This includes proper planning, selecting, and coordinating. Maturation of the prefrontal cortex plays a major part in the development of children. Older children...

...Anthony Stewart Pysch Prof Marks Research Paper Schizophrenia Schizophrenia is not the most prevalent mental disorder around, but it is very troublesome. Schizophrenia is a breakdown of thought processes and a deficit in emotional responses. About one percent of the population will get the disorder. Men are more likely than women to get it and younger people usually do not get it. Many people do not understand how this mental disorder affects these people with schizophrenia. Some symptoms of schizophrenia include: hallucinations and diminished ability to speak. One aspect of this disorder is hearing voices, which sometimes tells them to do harmful things. They also have a hard time determining reality from one of their hallucinations. Some people believe that if your parent has the disorder you will be more likely to get it later in your life. Drugs can have a major impact and give you schizophrenia, also infection during birth can cause a child to have schizophrenia. Sometimes they may act with violent behavior so the community just pushes them aside as crazies that need to be locked up. Schizophrenics have a very high suicide rate, partially due to their lack of ability to fit in the normal world. They are ostracized by their very communities and made to feel belittled. The fact of the matter is that suicide is a big problem that strongly affects schizophrenics. According to Verma, “approximately 2 to 12% of all suicides are in direct correlation with symptoms of schizophrenia”...

...Daniel Chavez W0523798 Pysch 105-Abnormal Psychology Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (P.T.S.D) Posttraumatic Stress Disorder is defined as a psychological reaction occurring after experiencing a highly stressing event that is usually characterized by depression, anxiety, flashbacks, recurrent nightmares and avoidance of reminders of the event (Merriam-Webster 2014). PTSD is an anxiety disorder that may develop after a person is exposed to one or more traumatic events, such as sexual assault, serious injury or the threat of death. When the symptoms of PTSD are present for 30 days or more a full diagnoses if given. Symptoms may begin immediately or in the future. While the majority of the population will be exposed to some sort of trauma in their lifetime only few people will develop PTSD (Kessler 1995). With the United States being in conflicts over seas, more and more of our military men and woman are experiencing posttraumatic stress disorder but are ultimately failing to seek the medical help they need and deserve. Symptoms and Prevalence Although PTSD symptoms can begin right after a traumatic event, PTSD is not diagnosed unless the symptoms last for at least one month, and either cause significant distress or interfere with work or home life. In order to be diagnosed with PTSD, a person must have three different types of symptoms: re-experiencing symptoms, avoidance and numbing symptoms, and arousal symptoms (Nebraska department of Veterans Affairs). Re-experiencing...
