Recognizing Stress

We are all familiar with the word "stress". Stress is when you are worried about getting laid off your job, or worried about having enough money to pay your bills, or worried about your mother when the doctor says she may need an operation. In fact, to most of us, stress is synonymous with worry. If it is something that makes you worry, then it is stress.

Risk

Every day we run the risk, somehow. I think, it would be difficult to count, how many times a day we take the risk. Most of the times we even do not notice it. Personally I do not believe, that we notice more then 10% of all this risky stuff.

Shopping

We go to the shops practically every day but if you want to buy something special or you want to buy something for all your family, you go to a large department store. These stores are very useful places.

Short-term memory

When we attend to new information, from sensory memory (SeM) it goes to short-term memory (SM). It contains all the information that we are thinking about and ‘’working on’’ now. In this sense it is our current consciousness, where info is held just enough for a decision to be made on further processing, especially encoding for long-term memory (LM) storage. All the info that we are thinking about right now comes from two sources: SeM and LM. Material in SM stays active 15 –30s, if it is not used or processed further. If material is actively attended to, rehearsed, or otherwise thought about, it can remain in SM indefinitely.

Should we bring back the death penalty?

The death penalty has faced much opposition as of late. Can the death penalty possibly be a morally acceptable punishment? A popular bumper sticker says, "We kill people to show people that killing people is wrong." The slogan is short, simple, and to the point. But is there really such irony in capital punishment as the slogan implies?

Sleep disorders

About 90 percent of adults sleep 6 to 9 hours per night, with the largest number sleeping 8 to 9 hours. While some people sleep only 6 to 7 hours, most of these people have measurable signs of sleepiness during the daytime, even if they do not realize it. It appears that 8 to 9 hours of sleep are required by most people to be free from daytime sleepiness. A sleep disorder exists whenever the inability to sleep well produces weakened daytime functioning or excessive sleepiness.

Smoking

• Among young people, the short-term health consequences of smoking include respiratory and nonrespiratory effects, addiction to nicotine, and the associated risk of other drug use. Long-term health consequences of youth smoking are reinforced by the fact that most young people who smoke regularly continue to smoke throughout adulthood.

Social learning approach to personality

In contrast to both trait and psychodynamic approaches to personality, social learning (further S.C.) approaches emphasize the importance of environmental, or situational, determinants of behavior. For S.C. theorists, behavior is the result of a continuous interaction between personal and environmental variables.

Social motives

Sex and maternal behavior are social motives. Sex (and to some extent maternal behavior) is an unlearned motive that human beings share with other species. There are important differences between sex and maternal behavior, on the one hand, and temperature, thirst and hunger on the other – satisfaction of social motives typically involves another organism, whereas the survival motives concern only the biological self. In addition, social motives do not lend themselves to a homeostatic analysis.
