FOCUSES ON LANGUAGE. Weak social constructionalism- brute facts quarks make up electrons… institutional facts… paper with value (money) Strong social constructionalism- EVERYTHING is a institutional facts…. Our reality is what we create it to be. Symbolic interactionalism (the tree/ant example)- relates the individual with greater social structure with a focus on communication. The action is depends on meaning…. And experiences… the meanings can CHANGE through experiences. BACK STAGE/ FRONT STAGE… Dramaturgical perspective/approach- individuals play certain roles when interacting with others. Impression management is the conscious or unconscious process where individuals manage their own image by influence others because of different roles…. Self-schema- stable set of beliefs, expereicnes, and generalizamation about one’s self…. Self-identity- an OVERALL understanding of one’s self

She is also exhibiting egocentrism, or the tendency to focus on her own thoughts & emotions.The Whorfian hypothesis is that language determines thought; the idea of linguistic determinism.This psychologist supports the idea that thought determines language.Universalists/nativist believe that thought determines language.Language is inherent Elevated activation of the right hemisphere is associated with social withdrawal and isolation.Elevated activation of the left hemisphere is associated with positive emotions.The evaluation of a potential threat as stressful or not occurs in the first stageof appraisal.The evaluation of a potential threat as stressful occurs during primary appraisal.The General Adaptation Syndrome theorizes that: As proposed by Hans Selye, and supported by his research, the physiological response to stress is universaltarget cells of lower motor neurons polydysia The Foot-in-the-Door Phenomenon explains how people have a tendency to agree to a small action and comply later on with a larger action. At first the smoker only agreed to remain sober for one week. He remained in the company of people who didnt smoke and over time, his cognitions and behaviors changed his attitudes towards smoking, which lasted longer than one week.Displacement is a defense mechanism that shifts aggressive impulses to a less threatening target. It redirects emotion to a safer outlet or someone unrelated to the emotional situation, in order to avoid dealing directly with what is frightening or threatening. The girl yells at her roommate even though she is angry with her mother.Projection- project your ownideas onto other people Theory of Planned Behavior The implications of our actions are generally thought out before we engage in behavior and together with our intentions, subjective norms (what others think about our behavior), and perceived behavior control (how easy or difficult we think it is to control our behavior), we form an attitude and thus act.social psychologists, the presence of others increases arousalit does not decrease it.

Thus, the synapses that would support processing of sounds that are not part of the infant#s native language are not stimulated, and they wither and die! Accordingly, when presented with novel, nuanced sounds, the infant may have difficulty 6uic,ly learning to discriminate between those sounds The researchers e$amined the influence of a parent>caregiver#s directives on a child#s behavior atvarious stages of development, which can be bro,en down into the elements of the person, the environment, and the behavior!

Rumination is nottypically seen as an abnormal or irrational thought process, even while it may be harmful. Rumination is often associated with mental disorders like depression or anxiety.A compulsion is a repetitive behavior or action that is performed to decrease anxiety or relieve obsessive thoughts.A delusion is a false belief that is held even when there is evidence to the contrary. ndividuals who experience delusions typically lack the insight describedin the !uestion above.
