People have various reasons and emotions that prompt them to carry out an event in a certain way. Mental Imaging allows a person to visualize and reenact a situation in various ways. First person imagery and third person imagery are the two ways that determine how a person will act based of their mental image. First person imagery perspective enables people to experience a situation through own one eye, on the other hand, third person imagery allows a person to visualize an event like they were watching this event. These two imagery perspectives helps people make various decisions and experience events from a different viewpoint. The idea of the use of various imagery perspectives can affect memory and emotions can …show more content…
Mental imagery is can affect and control a person’s emotions depending on the perspective. The use of first person imagery perspective can also have an effect on a person’s emotions (Holmes et al., 2008). This study analyzes how the influence of 100 positive pictures in either first or third person imagery perspective can alter a person’s emotion. A person’s emotion was evaluated at the beginning and after the manipulation checks in order see how emotions changed. Only in the first person imagery perspective, there was a significant increase of their positive affect for the participants. The emotions that a person has initially can be altered by presenting positive images is easier in first perspective not third perspective because a person has the power to change their emotions. For instance, a person has their feelings towards war, the environment, and politics. In first person perspective, people have the chance to only express their emotion towards various situations. In Libby and Holmes article, the information in both articles contradicts each other because first/third person perspectives both impact our outlook on events. The input of different cues helps people understand why they are …show more content…
There has to social pressures or cue that will influence a person to think or act in one way or another. Cues such as situational, behavioral, and social cues can alter a person’s original thought-process for a certain action (Pronin, et al.,2004). This can hinder and/or change a person’s decision. A person’s true feelings about countless decisions will not be chosen due to higher judgement or power. This power or judgement will only receive results or answers that fit the range of accepted ideas or responses. First person imagery perspective allows people to carry out an action or event without much influence on emotions and social judgement. There are various cues and emotions that goes into a mental image, so finding the relationship between imagery and emotions/behavior aid in our
The effect of the first person point of view is a lot more deep because you are seeing everything
Having such an image before our eyes, often we fail to recognize the message it is trying to display from a certain point of view. Through Clark’s statement, it is evident that a photograph holds a graphic message, which mirrors the representation of our way of thinking with the world sights, which therefore engages other
People tend to views an image based on how society say it should be they tend to interpret the image on those assumption, but never their own assumptions. Susan Bordo and John Berger writes’ an argumentative essay in relation to how viewing images have an effect on the way we interpret images. Moreover, these arguments come into union to show what society plants into our minds acts itself out when viewing pictures. Both Susan Bordo and John Berger shows that based on assumptions this is what causes us to perceive an image in a certain way. Learning assumption plays into our everyday lives and both authors bring them into reality.

...ndividual subject in the image, and perhaps by putting themselves in their shoes, deepen their understanding of their own autonomy. Once one is able to find the application to themselves, they have successfully filtered the subjectivity of the photographer, and established their own subjectivity towards the image.
There are some human phenomena, which seem to be the result of individual actions and personal decisions. Yet, these phenomena are often - on closer inspection – as much a result of social factors as of psychological ones.
There are many situations that people go through that influence their decisions. Everybody grew up differently so this plays a major role in the decisions that were made in life.
Memory has been and always will be associated with images. As early as 1896, leading psychologists were arguing that memory was nothing more than a continuous exchange of images. (Bergson) Later models of memory describe it as more of an image text; a combination of space and time, and image and word. (Yates) Although image certainly is not the only component of memory, it is undoubtedly an integral and essential part of memory’s composition.
Mental imagery is the ability to picture things in your head without looking at them. While this may be easy for some, others find it very difficult. Some people are able to imagine conceptual ideas that have never been seen before; others are only capable of picturing what they have seen. The senses and brain can play a large role in a person's capabilities, but one can overcome these limits with active work. Everyone perceives their experiences differently, making everyone’s personal understanding of the world unique, yet individuals are limited in their ability to fully comprehend everything by their senses, the way their senses interact and mental imagery capabilities.
Every day in our life's we are persuaded to make choices. Persuasion is a very
Theories Student’s Name Institutional Affiliation Theories It is a well-known fact that different factors affect on human behavior as well as various aspects of people’s life. Among them the emotions detect a powerful force on humans. Strong emotions may cause people to take actions they might not perform as usual, or obviate situations that they generally enjoy. Psychologists, researchers, and philosophers have proposed a set of different theories that explain how and why people experience the emotions. I have chosen two theories of emotion that I am interested in such as: the James-Lange Theory of Emotion and the Cannon-Bard Theory of Emotion. This paper describes those theories by comparing and contrasting them; discusses the theory that I agree with and explain the reasons of it.
Have you ever seen a painting or picture that captivates you and directly stirs up emotion within you? More than likely, you have. Usually, viewers merely observe the picture and enjoy the way it looks and how it makes them feel. But, have you ever asked yourself, “why?” What about the picture makes it pleasing to the viewer? With each strategy the photographer uses creates their own touch and passion that floods all over the picture. The emotional connection nearly goes unnoticed for when the picture is well photographed, the viewers experience the sensation in their subconscious. This is one of the most powerful tools that a photographer holds in their hands. If one can become a master of manipulating how the photo affects its viewers, the said photographer can potentially maneuver people’s minds and thoughts with one click of a button. The time spent with my mentor has opened up the door for me to tap into that power though the use of background, focus, shutter speed, angles, and most importantly, lighting. Even with all these techniques, the person behind the camera must remember that creativity must be at the forefront of all operations. Caleno (2014), when writing about the basics of capturing a beautiful moment in a picture commented, “If we want to be creative we must drop these pre-conceptions and start looking at things from a small child’s innocence.”
One type of effect that can tip any decision balance to another side is peer pressure. In an experiment done by a psychologist Youtuber called Vsauce, he demonstrates this phenomenon in a shocking experiment called the Ash experiment. He puts a participant with a chosen group of paid actors. Their job is simple, to match the length of a stick drawn on a board with three sticks labeled 1 2 3. At first, the paid actors choose the correct answer to gain the participant’s trust. After round three, the actors began to lie and choose an incorrect answer. At first, the participant did not follow the crowd and stick to the correct answer, but two rounds later, she began to follow the actor’s choice blindly. This experiment is a clear example how peer pressure can sway
...occurs in everyday life for everyone. Making decisions is a constant process the human brain makes many times a day, for instance whether to go to the gym or eat McDonalds, go to the bar over studying for a test, or betting “all-in” at a poker tournament with no cards that are able to be played. All of those examples are risky depending on the type of person making those decisions. No one person is the same as the next, so risky decisions are subjective, although there are just some decisions that can be life changing like where to go to college, who to marry, and to have children or not. Also, the context in which the situation is framed plays a huge role on how a person decides what to do. Many influences such as emotions, stress, video games, or even other people’s decisions can ultimately determine the type of decision any individual may make, risky or not.
Now we will consciously or unconsciously make decisions which we think are for the best for us, for the ones we care for, or for the society or organisation as a whole. In order to make wiser decisions we should know what contributes in making a good or a bad choice. We should know what all options are there available to us and mak...
