Behavior Modification Exercise

        A 7-day challenge I proposed to myself was to work on not procrastinating so much on homework and getting things done, so basically studying for exams and doing homework.  The reason I chose this challenge was because after finishing with pledging, I have been wanting to get myself back on track with my daily school routines.  In order to get myself back on track, I will be tracking the time I spend on studying.  I will be creating a planner laying out how much time I have during the day and writing in when I should be studying and how much free time I may or may not have.
        I have taken a few pictures to show an example of what I used to plan my week/days in order to achieve my goal.


   














        Below I will screenshot my journal entries throughout this week.  I used the app Stickies on my laptop for my journal entries.

Day 1:
Day 2:
Day 3:
Day 4:
Day 5:
Day 6:
Day 7:



        I encourage you to try this challenge.  It was a bit difficult for me because of my busy schedule throughout the day. but my planner helped me find space to do my homework and study for the test.  This challenge helped me score a 100 on my math test.  Hopefully this routine sticks with me, so I may have a REALLY good GPA at the end of this semester!!

        The question of Nature-Nurture can bring up a complex discussion when it comes to making points and having to prove why your "belief" is correct. It all depends on the topic and how passionate you feel about the debate between the two. Although there are good reasons to Nature or Nurture, they both could possibly be correct, there is no right or wrong answer. Three topics that really stir up a conversation would be studying aggressiveness in dogs, adoption study, and twin studies.         The nature-nurture is a debate within psychology concerning particular aspects of behavior are a reason for either inherited or acquired characteristics. Nature - genetic inheritance and biological factors         Example : Hair, height, color of eyes and certain diseases Nurture - the product of exposure, experience and learning of an individual            Example : P...

        Sigmund Freud founded what today is known as the psychodynamic approach to understanding personality.  Psychodynamic approach is one of the most important approaches to psychological therapy.  Freud is well known because of his work, it has made a big impact on our everyday thinking about psychology.  Many of his ideas have turned out to be at least a bit incorrect, and his theories have influenced other psychologist.  There are six ideas that we will be covering in the upcoming paragraphs. The six ideas of Freud's Theory were: The Case of Anna O The Unconscious Mind The Psyche Id Ego Superego Defense Mechanisms Repression Denial Projection Displacement Regression Sublimation Psychosexual Stages Dream Analysis Impression on one of the theories from Freud:         My impression of Freud's Theory was that I could relate to it and agree to some terms.  I can see how my life decision...

Hello everyone, My small family of four!         I am excited to be starting my second semester at Hardin-Simmons University and learning about psychology with y'all. My name is Aylin Neri. Many people are stumped when attempting to say my name! My first name is pronounced like "I-lean". There is not much to say about myself. I am from a small town named Fredericksburg, Texas. I come from a small family of four. I have a little sister, and she is 11 years old. My major is Nursing and I am aiming to specialize in becoming a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner.  I am very shy and quiet at first, but I warm up for those who get to know me personally.        I am a part of the track team at HSU. While I was in High School, I was on the track team and I ran sprints and relay events. If it wasn't for the track coach recruiting me, I would've never been able to learn about how great this school is! Hardin-Simmons has led me to grow spirit...
