Dr. Prinstein's Peer Relation Paper
I find the work done in Dr. Prinstein's Peer Relation Lab to be very interesting. Particularly Projects ARCH and REACH are very much in line with the work that I would like to do in my future. I'm interested in prevention in youth who are at risk for mental health problems. I think the work being done in Project REACH could give much needed insight into some of the specific causes for mental illness and suicidal ideation found in adolescents. I'd enjoy the opportunity to learn more about these projects and to discuss them with you.

I was wondering if you know of any full-time research positions becoming available in the spring or summer. I'm currently a senior at the University of Rochester, studying Brain and Cognitive Science and Psychology.

    William Deresiewicz makes compelling suggestions in his article "Faux Friendship." His ideas and modernized definitions on the truth behind the word "friend" makes a good argument though it is strictly through his perception and analysis. He demonstrates the idea that in this era we have changed how we perceive one another from the way it use to be. Deresiewicz uses a claim of value in his article, evaluating the diminishing bond of what we call a friend in today's society. He implies that the word is loosely used and has lost it's worth. When something is plentiful and everyone has many, the value of that item goes down. Just as the number of friends everyone has on Facebook has risen, those we call "friends" has extended to acquaintances, friend of a friend, or someone we would like to meet.…

    William Penn was a holy man, a do-gooder by all means, who in 1681, was granted land in the New World, and set out to commence his “Religious Experiment”, with his Quaker brethren. Penn had a vision for his own utopia and would end up investing all of his assets in the newly found colony which is now Pennsylvania. Much of his money as well as other investors’ went to the process of actually acquiring the land which was one of the most crucial objectives in Penn’s plan. Because William Penn was a religious man, and because the land he acquired was already partially settled by native tribes, the financial capital needed to execute a smooth and peaceful transaction was quite enormous for the time.…

    c. Analyze precursors and consequences of the behaviors in terms of social psychology concepts. Most social psychological concepts focus on the person and the situation. A few specific examples include self-esteem, self-concept, and social comparison that might apply to people who use alcohol and drugs as a coping mechanism e.g., express example or to have fun. Self esteem is essentially what one person feels about him or her. This would include attitudes about their abilities, their emotions, their social status, and so on. In other words, people who need to drink to express their…

    The concept of personal constructs was developed by George Kelly when he formulated the cognitive personality theory, the Personal Constructs Theory. This theory is based on the notion that individuals categorize personality and behavior of themselves or of others unfailingly; and every individual will respectively categorize the same personality and behavior differently (McAdams, 2006). Like scientists develop theories, individuals develop inner replicas of reality to explain the world that they live in. These models of reality are called constructs.…

    The South had many arguments regarding the fact that they needed slavery and that it wasn’t as bad as people pictured it to be. For starters, the fact that the South depended on slavery was the number one reason why they didn’t want slavery to be abolished. The Southern economy would go down the drain because they depended on slave labor. Without the slaves there would be no one to work the fields. The cotton economy would collapse, the tobacco crop would dry, and the rice would be profitable. They also said that slavery existed throughout history and that it was part of the natural being of mankind. Not only did Americans have slavery but also Greeks, Roman, and English people (1). To add to that idea they would say that in the bible in the…

    In the eighteenth century, settlers resorted to violent protest to express their disagreements. Before the occurrence of the violent protests, the country was still recovering from the aftermath of the French and Indian War. The country was subject to the payment of debt from Britain who declared that the colonies were in protection of Britain during the war, also known as parliamentary sovereignty. Along with the debt, there were tensions with the natives in the land due to the decreasing space in proportion to the British expansion of territory. The Treaty of Paris of 1763 was also signed, giving French control over Canada to Britain. While there were still disputes over how government revenue should be raised, the occurrence of these events…

    I think that the toothpick bridge project is a way of us students to learn what it is like to understand bridges and the forms and sizes they have. From this project I can learn about how the truss bridge really works and also see how much it can carry. Knowing about bridges can help a lot in geometry because bridges consist of shapes and measurements. Maybe one day we have to do a bridge project there and luckily for me I would already know about…

    social bond theory

    Social bond theory was created by Travis Hirschi and it is a form of social control theory. Social control theorists are more interested in explaining why someone is not being deviant rather than why they are. In this theory it is expected that deviance will occur at some point. Hirschi's social bond theory explains that deviane is expected to occur because crime is easy to do; you do not need any special skills to commit crimes. Everyone has the same amount of motivation to participate in deviance. Social bond theory is made up of four bonds; attachment, commitment, involvement, and belief. Each bond is a bond to conformity and that keeps individuals from doing deviant behavior. Hirschi argues that the strength of social control a person has is what differentiates people who committ offenses from those who do not.…
