This assessment will focus on thinking, feeling and actions. First, we will focus on an interpersonal interaction with my husband. The conversation was whether our daughter should go to the pool on days in which it is over ninety degrees. Therefore, the event it is hot outside or finding a middle ground. The feelings I felt at the time were concerned, nervousness, and passionate. I felt concerned because I have a high sensitivity skin reaction to the sun when it is over eighty causing heat rashes. Therefore, I am concerned our five-year-old daughter will have the same issues. In additions, I felt nervous because she is my only child and I try to shield her from anything that could hurt or do harm to my daughter. I am a passionate person so …show more content…
I am concerned it will just be too hot. I think she should just go on a cooler day." I stated. "But she will be in the pool. If they get hot she can always go insides my mom’s house to cool down since she lives so close to the pool." Jon stated. "Look Jon last time she went she came back with a few bumps I 'm going with my maternal instinct and she can go tomorrow when the heat index is lower." I stated. "That’s fine honey, you know I don 't care just call my mom and tell her." Jon stated. The conversation ended and just as quickly as this discussion started it was finished. Next, I will focus on what I was thinking during the interpersonal communication that took place between my husband and I. First of all I was thinking he should trust, how I felt because I have this condition and I know what triggers breakouts. I believe this conversation falls into the fallacy of shoulds. In addition, I was thinking about whether the conditions that my husband described would help, but after careful consideration, we agreed to let her go the next day, which was cooler than the day in question. The perspective is that I feel that eighty percent of my decisions as a

said he replied to Jonnie telling her that was okay, and to bring them over.
...p the session. I started by recalling how high she had rated her level of tension at the beginning of the session and had her re-rate it at this point. She claimed that her tension had diminished to a 3 and that she felt much better. I ended the session by summarizing the various events and complimenting her on her courage and willingness to explore these difficult issued and her ability to accept them as part of her. She thanked me for helping her through it and then we chatted for a while before I went home.
A lack of communication in any area of your relationship can cause you to miss out on what you want. For instance, in an intimate relationship, not communicating about what you need in the bedroom will result in a lack of pleasure and satisfaction. Pleasurable intimacy is important in an intimate relationship as it increases trust and the desire to keep doing intimate things!
Jackson quickly replies, “Yes!” Then looks at his dad and says, “You know it might not be to bad having mom come along. She brings sandwiches and not just chips.”
Of the several theories we have discussed involving commitment, I have taken a particular interest in M.P. Johnson’s Theory of Commitment as I feel it very effectively dissects the primary drives that reside behind one’s desire, or lack thereof, to remain committed in a relationship. In his theory, Johnson describes three kinds of perceived commitment that ultimately lead one to the decision to stay in their relationship. These three kinds of commitment discussed are personal, moral and structural commitment (Berscheid & Regan, 2005).
In everyday life, each ( infant, toddler, adult) observe others person’s actions and behavior and make inferences about other’s attitude based on what they see and find. Psychologist Daryl Ben (1967) who developed SPT (Self-Perception Theory) state that, people develop their attitudes by observing their behavior. Parents and primary caregivers play a significant role in child’s developing self-concept and self-esteem.
"The greatest challenge in life is discovering who you are. The second greatest is being happy with what you find."- Unknown. I have learned so much this year alone and taking an interpersonal communication class has broadened my view of myself and others. I am going to take you on a journey of what I learned and what I am continuing to learn. First I have chosen four chapters of the book that I think I have developed and learned the most from. From these chapters I picked the concepts and the theories that I have revised within myself. Starting with chapter two Considering Self, Perceiving Others, Experiencing and Expressing Emotions, Managing Conflict and last but not least Relationships with Family Members. I think that
Intra- and interpersonal perceptions have significant influence on an individual’s success at both university and work. Interpersonal perceptions achieve this through allowing the individual to work effectively within a team environment, mainly inside the work place, but also to a lesser extent at university. Within the team environment, interpersonal perceptions increase the effectiveness of communication whilst also contributing to a greater level of compassion and empathy within the group. Intra-personal perceptions contribute to individual success by raising self-awareness and monitoring of study/work habits and knowledge. With these tools enabled academic success and workplace competency are achievable.
Everyday people use social cognition as a tool to help them thrive in social world. There are many important aspects of social cognition that are helpful to us in making decisions and help us to interpret the world around us. An important aspect that is linked to social cognition is that of thought suppression. Thought suppression is when a person tries to force particular thoughts, memories or feelings out of their minds that may be unpleasant or may cause a great deal of stress for the individual. Many people are unaware how often we use thought suppression in our daily lives, but the truth is we use it in almost every aspect of our day.
( long story, I understand if you don't read it ) - REFLEJOS / REFLECTIONS. It is exactly what I think most of us are, as I explained to a good friend of mine the other day. Since the day we were born, our minds were empty as a blank piece of paper, our relatives,teachers,religious mentors,books, Hollywood,personal experiences, friends, etc. etc. And even our parents in the purest of their intentions left written a story, yes they all left a note with all their beliefs and judgements about life clearly described for your " Protection" " listen to my advise" "I have lived more than you" ( hey of course if someone tells you no to put your hand on a bonfire, pay close attention'cause is gonna hurt like hell )... Now in the era of Computers, that story or note became a software in our System a program.
Throughout this course I have learned a lot about psychology. I will talk about how it affected me personally, socially, organizationally/societal, and the lasting impact it had in my life.
Success is something individuals aim for through all stages of life. Succeeding at university may entail passing courses, achieving learning goals and consequently graduating, while gaining some experience and exposure. At work, success could take a different form of gaining a job, accomplishing goals, and seeking promotions. While the definition of success may differ for university students and employees at an organisation, the basic principles and skills required are very similar. Individuals require both intrapersonal and interpersonal perception in order to achieve success, whether at university or work. Skills such as self-regulation, self-monitoring, implementing goals and strategies to achieve those goals, as well as harnessing good communication skills and formal relationships are key factors to success. It is with these perceptions that individuals can gain skills that can help overcome barriers to succeed.
I learned a lot about Human Communication in this class when I read the chapter about Nonverbal Communication. Nonverbal Communication is the process of using messages that are not words to generate meaning. I learned that it happens every day. I also learned that is very hard to read or understand depending on the person you are speaking to or with. Verbal and Nonverbal codes work in conjunction with each other. The words we speak or say are used in conjunction six different ways: to repeat, to emphasize, to complement, to contradict, to substitute, and to regulate. I never knew until reading this chapter that we do these things all most every time we communicate. These are things I took for granted until now. I now know that I will pay
I’ve learned so much through this course. This course helped me learn behavior and people around me. Now I can see how it is hard for the people to live with their disorders. The society treats those people like outcasts and most of them even laugh at their disorder. Every behavior can be explained by psychology.
