I thought the experiments really showed how people react in different situations. It is interesting that all of the experiments show how people follow others. How if someone is given a job they will do that job even if they know that they will eventually hurt someone else. Human nature only needs to think that they are doing something important in order to follow someone without any thought to themselves about what they are doing is wrong.
Social influence is the way people act when even a job or the way they are treated. When someone is given a job that they don’t normally have then they act completely different then any other time. When I am partnered up with someone on a project, I act more like a leader. I show my ideas and I do as much as I can to help out or do most of the work. I usual procrastinate a lot. Also when I have to speak to people that I don’t know I can do it but when someone doesn’t tell me to or if I am by myself it is very hard for me to come up with the courage to talk to the stranger.
The most interesting thing I learned in this class is the mind is a very powerful thing, the fact that the mind controls your action in situations that you normally would not think of. Your unconscious mind is where your disorders come from and your wonder about all the things that happen to yourself. There are different reactions that people you normally thought wouldn’t do actually will do in order to obey someone are do their job. I also believe that your dreams are the most interesting thing someone has. Dreams can be unlocking your unconscious mind and can show what you are most stressed about through different interpretations.

I believe that psychological disorders are mainly in your unconscious mind that interferes with one's everyday life. In the text, psychological disorders are ongoing patterns of thought, feelings, and actions that are deviant, distressful, and /or dysfunctional. Abnormal is not always dealing with psychological disorders. I think that men that dress in pink is abnormal but to them and some others it is completely normal. When I have sugar I act with a lot of energy and aggression which will make me seem abnormal but that is how some people react to sugar. Not everyone reacts the same way in certain situations. There is such a high stander in society that it seems that everyone could have a disorder but everyone reacts and thinks differently. In order to have a disorder one needs to really not have control on their reactions in situations that make them sometimes destructive to others. Everyone has an abnormal habit to others some how in some way.


I believe that I have a disorder call Obsessive-compulsive disorder. This disorder is an anxiety disorder characterized by unwanted repetitive thoughts and/ or actions. These senseless or offensive thoughts never go way and "haunt" you. I have the obsessive-compulsive disorder because when ever I get done eating I have to wipe my mouth area at least five times and then a few times later on during the day. It is really annoying but I always think that there are food stains on my face and I hate the fact that it could be there.

The most interesting thing I learned is the diagnoses of schizophrenia is 1 in 100 which is a lot of people and there is a set of quadruplets that all have this disorder. It is interesting that they all have the disorder and I wonder, and I am sure others too, that a lot of disorders can be inherited and developed by how you are raised. Everyone have different interpretations on all situations which make it difficult to understand where disorders come from.
