    Asturias Essay

    The concept of Celebrity and Fame are ones that affect relationships both positively and negatively. Fame refers to the state of being known by many people, and Celebrity is the noun for a famous person. The experiences and perspectives of celebrities who have gone through the process of Fame have all had their relationships affected by their status both positively and negatively - whether it is a celebrity's relationship with corporations, the concept of Fame or their peers and rivals. This statement is supported by Brian Caswell's novel _Asturias,_ Jay Z and Justin Timberlake's song _Holy Grail,_ and Donna Rockwell's article _'Fame is a Dangerous Drug: a phenomenal glimpse of celebrity"_ all showcase these arguments with textual evidence. In brief, textual evidence have been provided to establish the implications Fame present on a celebrity's relationships.…

    Gleason Theran And Newberg

    Gleason, Theran, and Newberg examined the parasocial relationship within the stage of early adolescence. The researchers hypothesized people automatically form the parasocial relationship with celebrities, and gender differences can cause different parasocial relationships. By testing the hypothesis, the researchers gave out surveys to 151 young adults by asking them about their favorite celebrities, and their feelings toward about them. In results, most of the participants have one-sided relationships toward movie-stars or sports athletes. For example, Male tends to choose more athletes to form relationship with than girls.

    Celebrities exploitation

    Celebrities are widely considered the most influential people of the 21st century, possibly exceeding the pertinence possessed by famous politicians and religious leaders. Celebrities alone embody the means to win over countless of hearts with their charismatic winsome looks or unique characteristic skills. The extensive power that these celebrities hold therefore leads us to ponder: Do these personalities exploit their position in society to only offer nothing in return? Personally, I believe that celebrities are cognizant of their leveraging influence and by no means exploit them. However, I must disagree that celebrities offer nothing in return to our society. There are copious reasons behind my opinion and this statement will aim to elucidate the basis for my argument.…

    Albert Bandura & Social Cognitive Theory

    Albert Bandura was born on December 4, 1925 in Mudare, which is a small town in Alberta, Canada. He is the only male and youngest of six children. His sisters took it upon themselves to hearten young Albert to be individualistic and self-sufficient. Because he grew up in a small and rural town, education had its limitations. In spite of the limitations his schooling situation presented, Bandura thrived and flourished into a brilliant scholar. Life experiences shaped his perception of life. While attending the University of British Columbia, Bandura took an introductory course to psychology merely because it fit into an open early morning timeslot. Upon completing said course, he changed his major to psychology. Bandura completed his degree in psychology in three years 1949.

    Psychology and the Media

    In my opinion the media today dilutes down the science of psychology to a simple word used to sell an item or idea, the media also exaggerates the use of psychology to do so. I searched the internet for news on psychology, I chose the internet because it is the easiest news source to access and probably the most popular. What I found was a few scholarly sources, but mostly articles on sex and how to get rich/skinny/beautiful quick, with of course the use of psychology. The internet not only distorts the image of psychology but provides a poor education on the topic.…

    Personality Theory Analysis: Humanistic And Existential Approach

    In the humanistic approach, it is imperative to have strong positive interpersonal relationships because it is healthy for psychological health. It is unconditional positive regard that makes individuals accepting of others while remaining warm leaving behind evaluation and reservation. It is the complete acceptance without being possessive that makes other individuals feels comfortable allowing personal growth to happen. When an individual feels like they are understood and not being judged at the same time is empathy between others. Having empathy and unconditional positive regard leads to self actualization while achieving psychological health. The opposite of unconditional positive regard are conditions of worth. When relationships are focused on conditions of worth, self actualization is not reached because an individuals act in ways that are only accepted by others. In the existential approach, it is about separate being in the world. Individuals must accept separateness when it involves themselves. Interpersonal relationships play a role in the existential approach, but individuals must bring personal responsibility accepting who they are while finding meaning. Two concepts in the existential approach are love and will. When love and will is reunited, individuals are able to move forward while expressing care for other individuals. A way to develop interpersonal relationships while…

    Psychological Disorder

    Many mental disorders vary from person to person and in its on severity. All disorders have both a physical and psychological components. Abnormal behavior is difficult to define. Behavior may also be evaluated by whether it conforms to social rules and cultural norms, an approach that avoids reproachful nonconformists as irregular for behavior that, although strange, may not violate social standards and may even be valued in their culture. What people consider a violation of norms can be affected by culture diversity; often culturally relative, understood by the culture in which it occurs (The Gale Encyclopedia of Psychology, 2010).…

    Psychology and the Media

    Psychology can be presented by the media in forms such as magazine or newspaper articles, and the most popular today is through commercials watched on TV. Psychology is presented in a form of science today compared to what it was viewed as in the late 1800s and onto the 1900s. It is more of a science nature because viewers have to think about the meaning of the article or commercial to understand the message that is being presented. Then, psychology was viewed as a form or common sense. Psychology was never really looked at as a science but rather as philosophy in the 1980s. The public was often confused with the subject of psychology because it was always changing. The media presents both social and cognitive psychology to the public. Psychologists are not exactly overrepresented today, but the media uses them to their advantage. In the 1800s and the 1900s, psychologists were underrepresented and not taken seriously until World War I when “pop” psychology was let out to the public. The public was made to believe that the war was won because of the psychologists’ work. The media definitely relies more on psychologists than self-proclaimed experts. Many articles in magazines are psychologist interviewed and psychologists even write their own articles for the public to view and respond back with questions. Today, the media presents psychological information in more of a sensationalistic manner. This is a way that the media can catch the reader’s attention. By catching their attention, the media tends to over exaggerate many stories to make them sound better or worse than the story truly is. Psychology is still a confusing subject to the public today and many may never understand the role that psychology plays in society.…
