Greta 's older brother has suffered from chronic depression for several years. Unfortunately, Greta has been incorrectly informed by her parents that there is a 40 percent chance she will also suffer from depression. Explain how the availability heuristic, framing, the confirmation bias, and belief perseverance might lead Greta to conclude that she will definitely be a victim of a severe depressive disorder. Heuristic is something that is going to stick with her as she will always remember that she has a chance of getting depression in her life, she will also have the form that she will have it be a 40% chance. She can also connect that to her brother which makes everything even more realistic. Framing fits right along with the heuristic as since she was told by her own parents as well as she …show more content…
Example of speaking, If someone took a test of something once, would you get the same result if you took the test at a different time. That doesn’t mean that the test is testing what it thinks it is measuring. It might be better to means one attribute but actually capturing something else, but capturing that something else is reliably. It is often hard to know you are measuring the thing you think you are measuring exactly. Tranquilizing drugs that inhibit sympathetic nervous system activity often effectively reduce people 's subjective experience of intense anger or anxiety. Use one of the major theories of emotion to account for the emotion-reducing effects of such tranquilizers. Which theory of emotion would have the greatest difficulty explaining these effects? Why? The two factor theory could describe this because it would explain that you need physical arousal and can be to a cognitively label it. If someone is on a tranquilizer drug they would then not be able to have much physical arousal and their ability to cognitively label the emotion would
Additionally, the main character describes their family, lifestyle, social behavior and the reason for their parent's decision through her narration:
What I have learned from my decisions and rationale from the solutions that I implemented in round four, five, & six is that one major decision can change a positive or negative course of your company in a matter of a year. As a result of my decision, the company faced financial hardship in year four but demonstrated its defiance against economic crisis in years five and six by making smart and concise choices to improve the business margins on most levels. In year four the company struggled immensely due to the product positioning in the market and forecasting issue which led to excessive inventories the outstrip the company cash flows, negative ROS ( -3.2%), ROA (-2.4), ROE (.3.7) and a negative profits ($1,214,319).

These things will all contribute to the fact that Greta will think she will have severe depressive disorder. Heuristic will contribute because she will be more likely to remember this chance because there was a percent attached to it, making it easier to recall. The confirmation bias will lead her to think this whenever she has bad feelings, because in her mind they will be confirming what she already knew. The belief perseverance will cause her to not believe anyone who tells her her chances are less. Framing plays a role because of the way that she was told by her parents, the she has a chance of getting depression, not about the 60% chance she won’t experience it.
This eventually leads her to challenge her self concepts to extreme levels, causing her to either liberate herself from the façade she created or sink into the role. Easy A describes many genuine psychological phenomena and I am going to focus on three of them; Cognitive dissonance theory, how societal and cultural norms dictate our attitudes and thoughts, and different ways of persuasion. The cognitive dissonance theory is the feeling of unease that is felt when we act in opposition to our attitudes, which causes a shift of attitude in order to be consistent with our behavior. Easy A depicts strongly the theory of cognitive dissonance on numerous occasions.

In the short story “Dragonfly Eyes” the author, Alane Ferguson is commenting on the fact that a person’s true potential cannot always be seen on the surface. We see this message developed through both the character’s a-ha moments and memory moments, as well as the author’s use of flash-forward. While using memory moments Ferguson shows how Claire’s potential is able to be found. “In it I see myself and my friends as we laugh at Claire behind cupped hands. We snicker at her black clothes, her odd hair, whisper at the thickness of her thighs.”
1.(a) Why does Jefferson present such a long list of grievances? Jefferson presents such long list of grievances to impact his audience. The reason why he also does not shorten his speech and continuously repeats "He is" or "He has" is to show his audience what the U.S. has to go against with England and with that also emphasizing the many reasons why they were declaring their independence. The long lists facts he uses to make it all true also showed it was not just a few. (b) Does this list make her argument more or less convincing?

When she was young, she could not process the way her father raised and treated her, so she believed everything he said. When she is able to understand, her tone changes and becomes clinical and critical remembering the way he constantly let her
Therefore, according to Oatley, a series of actions which accomplishes a goal is a plan, and the influential aspects of emotion on the mind can be determined by looking at a course of action (Oatley, 28). If I studied hard for an exam, but didn’t do well, I may become angry, because I was unable to achieve my goal to ace the exam. Thus, our state of emotion may be intrinsically tied to planning and achieving certain goals. To understand emotions, it is imperative to analyze how subgoals are present in hierarchies and when combined, accomplish a goal via the completion of a series of actions. Furthermore, modeling situations that relied solely on knowledge and computation were rarely able to predict outcomes in reality (Oatley, 31).
