memory tests

 short-term memory test: 

I scored a 5/12. I think this test is pretty valid however I think it would benefit from a timer in order to make sure that everyone spends an equal amount of time.


face memory test:

I scored a 9/10. Similarly to the short-term memory test, it would benefit from a timer. 



how good is your problem solving?

I scored a 44. I think this questionnaire is valid however it fails to acknowledge how people may deal w/ problems of different situations.

social psych but its real life

 the theme: Ariana Grande

compliance:

If I wanted to go to a concert of Ariana Grande, I would first ask my parents small favors as they are more likely to comply to my request to go to the concert. This is known as foot-in-door phenomenon.

obedience:


In the "thank u, next" music video, all of the students listened to everything Ariana Grande said solely due to her social status. If she were to ask them to go bald, they would. 

social facilitation:


When Ariana Grande performs in front of a large audience at a concert, she likely performs better (at the well-learned task, performing). 

group polarization:


Arianators (her fans) can become more rude to other fandoms on social media (such as Twitter) due to the fact they are one fandom. 

reciprocity norms:


As fans support Ariana Grande, it's expected that she repays w/ content (music, concerts, etc.)

the psychology of love [ anything blog ] (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

the psychology of love 

According to John Lee, there is three primary styles of love.
  1. Eros is the physical and emotional aspects of love
  2. Ludus is playful love with little intentions of commitment
  3. Storge is natural love. This includes familial and platonic love.
He then expanded with three new styles of love that were combinations of the previous.
  1. Mania: (Eros and Ludus) is obsessive love
  2. Pragma (Ludus and Storge) is realistic love
  3. Agape ( Eros and Storge) is selfless love
*★,°*☆ color wheel of love *.°★* 。



I think the most interesting fact about love is in less than a second after looking at a person you love your brain will release oxytocin and dopamine. Just by looking at someone you love, you can feel the happiness. :)
