This relates to how what we were studying because mice were used when studying regency effect control.
Psych Visual 3
This relates to what we were studying because famed Russian psychologist Ivan Pavlov used dogs and the sound of a bell to train dogs to respond to food and associate food with the sound of the bell.
Psych Visual 2
This relates to what we are studying because Sigmund Freud is constantly referred to as a prominent figure in psychology.
Psych Visual 1
This relates to what we were studying because as we understand more and more about psychology we discover that normal everyday happenings actually prove to be reoccurring examples of everyday psychology. We then feel more knowledgeable about it when we see it outside of the classroom.

This article is about how to determine if a problem drinker will drink again. You simply have to completely ignore what they are actually saying and watch their body language for signs of shame, according to a University of British Columbia study. The study explores drinking and health outcomes in recovering alcoholics.
I think it’s amazing that we can determine whether or not a person is genuine by just reading their body language. I think by using psychology instead of outright trust we can gain a more accurate read on people. Everyone can lie, but not everyone can lie well. But when we lie we usually think we have to watch what comes out of our mouth instead of what is conveyed by our bodies.

This article is all about the attachment theory, which is defined as specific behaviors that individuals have. An example would be a child trying to find his/her their parents when they feel scared or in danger because they associate their parents with safety and are thereby attached to their parents.
I think this particular psychology article is interesting because it shows us what person or object we generally go to if we feel threatened, happy, sad, or angry. For instance we may go to our significant other to feel happy. We may go to our parents or closest friend if we feel sad or angry. We will go a police officer or person with a high authority if we feel threatened. It is like a “psychological gravity,” as the article puts it. We are unconsciously drawn to someone or something over and over again, because it is what we were taught how to do as children which the article refers to as our “formative years.”

This article is about how people who haven’t stayed true to themselves have not stayed true to themselves, which in turn has lead to consequences in their personal and professional lives. However, we have to wonder; isn’t it normal to daydream? Isn’t it normal to want to be rich, successful, and famous? Isn’t that the dream. This article even states that slightly overrating ourselves is psychologically healthy, and that it can actually give us the self confidence that we need to be successful.
Reflection
Perhaps this article makes a point, but that's just it. It's just a point. I believe just like everything else, too much of it can be a bad thing. Self deception can cost us a lot more than it can give. For example, if we start telling people that we have learned how to code a website even though someone else did it, other people will take notice to that and respond positively and we are filled with a sense of accomplishment. But that is only until our website expertise/advice is asked of us, and then suddenly we are left looking foolish.
