The results indicate that semantic relationships have no impact on the number of words correctly recalled However, closely synonymous relationships caused more replacement errors than silence or loosely …

The Restored Gospel In Psychology

The root assumptions ,f control predictability, biological determinism, and moral relativism inherent in many dominant psychological theories (Slife & Williams, 1995) and contradict knowledge provided by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is impossible to fully incorporate Gospel doctrines into psychology while operating under these assumptions. Such truths cannot be added onto methods and theories that inherently oppose them. Thus, to be a theist in contemporary psychology, changes must be made at the very basic conceptions of human nature and behavior (Slife & Whoolery, 2006). Prerequisite to any psychological …

Conformity: The Effects Of Misinformation Without Direct Social Pressure Oct 2017

Conformity: The Effects Of Misinformation Without Direct Social Pressure

Intuition: The BYU Undergraduate Journal of Psychology

Most of the current psychological knowledge about conformity relates to direct social pressure. However, little is known about how people conform to perceived social pressure. This study examined whether individuals conform to perceived, not direct, social pressure in a naturalistic setting. We hypothesized that individuals would conform to perceived social pressure and that females would conform more than males. Participants were invited to guess the number of M&M's in a jar. An experimental group was subjected to fabricated guesses without direct social pressure to conform. Results indicate a main effect for conformity (p<0. 001) and for gender (p<0.05). Individuals, especially females, were found to conform to perceived social pressure.

Comparison Of Spoken And Signed Languages And Their Neural Pathways

Intuition: The BYU Undergraduate Journal of Psychology

Past literature shows that the brain regions involved in the understanding and production of verbal languages are the same brain regions that allow one to communicate in sign language. Brain lesion studies have con.finned that both spoken and signed language rely on a common system of neural and cognitive mechanisms. Further research has con.finned that by acquiring sign language skills at a young age, children have the advantage of enhanced cognitive processes pertaining to language, spatial reasoning, and attention. Future research could be conducted regarding the advantages that sign language acquired early in life could have on minimizing both the …
