    This case presents to the court two separate parties from Benton State College in the town of Benton in Eastern California. In 2010, three students founded a chapter of the Fundamentalist Church of the Latter Day Saints (FLDS) in Benton. These students included Chris Bridges, Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, and Onika Tanya Maraj. Bridges and Germanotta were legally married in the state of Texas; Bridges and Maraj do not have a legal state recorded relationship. In accordance the doctrine of the FLDS, Bridges regarded Germanotta and Maraj both as his “wife” (Pomerantz, pg 1). Although Bridges sought to be legally married to both Germanotta and Maraj, California law prohibits him from doing so. Bridges applied for a marriage license at the office of the clerk of Benton and was refused the license. Bridges appealed, and denied again. Bridges looks to our court to decide whether he should be granted a marriage license for himself and Maraj.…

    Disruption of attachment can mean short term or long term separation/deprivation. Research into short term separation is the PDD model by Robertson and Robertson. They observed children in hospital using a time sampling video technique. They wanted to find out the effects of short term separation on the infants. An experience of one of the children, John who was put into residential nursery while his mother was in hospital. When John was first put into care he didn’t like it and cried, then John wouldn’t sleep and refused food. Near the end he ignored his father when he visited and became emotionally detached. Robertson and Robertson found that during separation children were extremely distressed, and on their return home, were less attached and less affectionate. They then came to the conclusion of short term bond disruption in three stages called the PDD model. This was protest which the infant begins to show e.g. crying, screaming and clinging to mother. Then despair like John displayed where there is little response to comfort and more apathetic behaviour. Finally the last is detachment where the infant rejects the caregiver on their return and is angry. However this study could be criticised because the sample was very small and the findings cannot therefore be generalised. This means that it is not a representative sample. To overcome this however, a larger sample could be used so then we can generalise this and draw better conclusions. Although this study may lack reliability they used content analysis where they collected both qualitative and quantitative data.…

    There is one underappreciated factor in John Hughes’ 80s high school movies that make them so good, and that’s the acting. In one of the most well known films to this day, The Breakfast Club, the condescending Mr. Richard Vernon (Paul Gleason) supervises detention where five students with completely different personalities felt trapped, but by being stuck together, they learned they had more in common than they thought possible. There was an athlete, a criminal, a princess, a basket case, and a brain; Andrew Clark (Emilio Estevez), John Bender (Judd Nelson), Claire Standish (Molly Ringwald), Allison Reynolds (Ally Sheedy), and Brian Johnson (Anthony Michael Hall). It was performances such as Ally Sheedy and Judd Nelson’s from The Breakfast…

    In social psychology there are many researchers who investigated and challenged different theories within including well respected psychologists including; Sheriff(1935); Jenness(1932); Asch(1951); Crutchfield(1955) and Mann(1969). The aim of the study was; guessing how many sweeties were in the jar in a competition fashion and testing if the participants conformed to their guesses. The hypothesis was ' people would conform under group pressures of the pre-set guesses. The null hypothesis was that people would not conform under group pressures unless due to extraneous variables. The experiment was a field experiment using the techniques of independent groups design. The experiment was dressed as a competition based on the following three conditions; high pre-set; control pre-set and low pre-set guesses. The group used random selection in three math classes with the senior pupils of three different levels (higher, intermediate one and intermediate two). The IV (independent variable) that was used was the pre-set guesses and the DV (dependent variable) was the level of conformity performed by the participants. The conclusion of the results showed that 31.25% of the high pre-set guesses conformed (in the reign of 40+), 23.33% of the low pre-set guesses conformed (in the reign of -30) and 43.48% of the control pre-set guesses conformed (within the reign of 25-45). The breakdown of the analysis for instance the mean of all conditions and overall, the range of all conditions and control(appendix 13). After the group completed the experiment thought was put into how testing conformity could be continued. The ideas from the experiment could lead to testing the intelligence levels of people who conform and test is this level of intelligence has an effect on the level of conformity.…

    Psychology Manipulation

    • 472 Words
    • 2 Pages

    At a psychological level, the art of manipulation primarily involves two things: concealing aggressive intentions and behaviors and knowing the psychological vulnerabilities of your opponent well enough to know what tactics are likely to be the most effective weapons against them. Psychological manipulation is most often accomplished through covert-aggression or aggression that is so carefully veiled or so subtle that it’s not easily detected. Manipulators want what they want and fight hard to attain their goals. But the tactics they use can make it appear like they’re doing almost anything but simply trying to get the better of you. The tactics are also very effective weapons of power and control. That’s because even though they’re hard to recognize as aggressive moves at a conscious level, at an unconscious level others feel backed into a corner and are thrown on the defensive. This makes it more likely that they’ll back down or give in to their manipulator.…
