Anorexia Nervosa | nevans6

Just another WordPress.com site. In my opinion anorexia has a number of plausible reasons as to why it occurs and we cannot pinpoint one explanation. Instead I believe the disease should be considered from a psychosocial view point. 4 Responses to “Anorexia Nervosa”. April 30, 2012 at 8:15 pm. May 1, 2012 at 10:10 pm. May 1, 2012 at 10:12 pm.

Are We Becoming Too Over-Reliant on Computers at University? | psue0a

Just another WordPress.com site. Are We Becoming Too Over-Reliant on Computers at University? 8220;Computing is not about computers any more. It is about living.” – Nicholas Negroponte. Do you remember what it was like to live without the Internet? Without a PC, even? And how did we study for University degrees without the magical splendour of Google Scholar? But have we become a little too over-reliant on computers to help us to study and research and calculate? December 2, 2011 at 17:29. I think that w...

Argument for sitting on the fence (I know I shouldn’t) | bluenose1884

https://bluenose1884.wordpress.com/2011/10/07/argument-for-sitting-on-the-fence-i-know-i-shoudnt

Just another WordPress.com site. Argument for sitting on the fence (I know I shouldn’t). One of the most influential figures in psychology is undoubtedly Freud. Could Freud be considered scientific? While his work has since become the foundation which many others have built upon and his influence is beyond doubt, most of his theories are purely speculative. They make a lot of sense, yes. But can they be proven? 8220;I know nothing except the fact of my ignorance.” – Socrates. October 8, 2011 at 2:56 pm.

Genetically predisposition towards obesity | matthewloganstringer

https://matthewloganstringer.wordpress.com/2011/11/30/genetically-predisposition-towards-obesity

Just another WordPress.com site. Genetically predisposition towards obesity. However it came to mind, maybe it was down to my genes that made me the weight and size I was. Couldn’t it be argued that it is a cognitive issue and the person just chooses to eat more for their own pleasure? People also differ in their overall metabolic rate and so as a result, less nutrients are burned and so fat is stored (Astrup, 2000). This can be seen as a genetically predisposed deficit. But once again it is poss...All i...

Deindividuation | katierbradford

https://katierbradford.wordpress.com/2012/03/06/deindividuation

Just another WordPress.com site. However, Diener et al (1977) found that gender differences do occur when looking at deindividuation, for example, a greater disinhibition of aggression has been found in males. Also, females are said to be more emphatic and may have shocked the learner less than males. Therefore, we should be sensitive when applying the results found in research to members of the opposite sex. The Psychology of group influence. Pp209-242). Hillsdale, NJ: Erlbaum. Le Bon, G. (1895).

Ethnocentrism & Generalisation | anisarah

https://anisarah.wordpress.com/2012/03/11/ethnocentrism-generalisation

March 11, 2012. For psychologists, generalisability is often one of the most important factors when conducting research; what’s the point of the study if it cannot be applied to others and provide useful information to the wider world? Due to the majority of research within psychology being conducted in predominately Western cultural settings (especially older research), this means that in a lot of cases, the findings of these studies are ethnocentric and cannot be generalised to other cultures. Are the ...

Does ‘False Consensus’ Effect Exist? | samanthakatepsychology

https://samanthakatepsychology.wordpress.com/2012/02/05/does-false-consensus-effect-exist

Just another WordPress.com site. Does ‘False Consensus’ Effect Exist? February 5, 2012. False Consensus Effect is an egotistic bias, causing one to believe that others in a group will respond to a situation in exactly the same way as oneself (Dawes, 1987). For example, assuming that people hold the same beliefs and opinions towards specific behaviours and attitudes. According to Marks and Miller (1987) almost every psychologist has, at some point, found it difficult to explain a study’s findings be...

Dyscalculia | Weekly-Psych-Journal

https://weeklypsychjournal.wordpress.com/2012/04/29/dyscalculia

On: April 29, 2012. For many years dyslexia was misdiagnosed. Children who were unable to read were considered stupid or less capable than their peers. Fifty years on, and while the cause of dyslexia is still not completely understood, the symptoms are known and help is given to those who have dyslexia. Currently scientists believe that the cause of dyslexia is due to a cerebellar impairment. (Nicolson and Fawcett, 1999). Throughout the years many different researchers have tried to define dyscalculia&#4...
