Psychology - November 2006

1. Katie and Ayisha are 6 years old. They are both playing with their toy kitchen. Peter, who is also 6 years old, asks the girls if he can join in. Katie and Ayisha refuse, saying "only mummies do cooking". How would social learning theorists explain the girls´ refusal to let Peter join in. (4 mark question so no essays pls)



2. Describe and discuss the psychoanalytic explanation of gender development. Refer to one other explanation in your answer. (10 mark question so a bit more information needed)




By the way just so you know this is not a homework it is revision (i found this question and couldn´t answer it right, so i thought you could help me in case they ask it in an exam).
Thanx for your help.

It seems like with e-mail and speed comes less sophisticated language. People type the message, they do not write in cursive. Hand written letters express individuality a lot better. Is it a sign of so called 'progress' or are we on the way of becoming something like Borg from the Star Trek?

If I started a Religon where my Followers where taught to not follow any religon, but just to be REAL human beings, and not let things get you down, And my religon would reward you with the promise that you would be happy for the rest of your life, would you be willing to be happy everyday from now on?

a different side of themselves on it ? Do u? If I were to meet you on the street and strike up a conversation with you would I have the same impression of you as I have on here reading your answers and questions ? Is this the side u keep hidden because I've read alot of nice, encouraging, deep, thought provoking, etc answers and questions (although there are alot of junky ones too =x ) that i rarely ever hear about or see outside of this cyber world.
so i was wondering whats up with it ? Are you people just protraying yourself as someone you're not or do you all live in timbutu ?

Have any of you ever been ask by anyone with a question that just make you think!? (I will expect some crazy and rediculous answer here lol). The kind of question that I am refering to are the ones that inspire you to seek the answer for yourelf. Perhaps, It is the question that you find most reward in answering. Although there are many tough questions in life not many are consider rewarding b/c some are task that were force upon us. Perhaps, questions like "what career path one should undergo?" and "what is love (lol)?". However, these question can be very subjective. Therefore, I ask has anyone ever asked you a Question that put you on a quest for knowledge? If so what was it? How did you overcome such obstcales and how had it help shaped you? I ask b/c i want to know how many thoughtful, rediculous, crazy, nonsense question are out there, but then again i can just look through Yahoo question board for that kind of observaton, itsn't this shytt ironic?

I am having a bit of a crisis at the moment. I am agry and frustrated at life and I suppose in turn myself. I am feeling joy less and less and really find the day today drudge a struggle. On top of this I feel trivialised and ignored and only respected when I do things other people want. I work have a husband and children but I am not happy. I know the love is there but I am on the verge of something ... I dont know what. I have a few friends, but am happy being a loner really. I suppose really what I am trying to say is that life is not what I expected not is mother hood or marriage. I am disappointed with life. I am making steps to do other things to try and give me joy. It seems that life is a sea of disappointment with just a few islands of happiness. Why cant I see the joy and love in my life.

Is there anything that really strikes fear into your heart, makes your hair stand on end, or just makes you want to cry? Not like falling to your death, but an actual thing like a balloon, spider, etc.

I didn't think that there was anything that freaked me out...until my friend had a fancy dress party. My friend went as action man complete with full combat gear, guns and ...GAS MASK!!!! I answered the door and he had his hood up and his gas mask on. I was terrified and I felt sick. I am not sure what it is exactly about them, but they really panic me. I even tried to put it on to see if that would help me overcome my fear, but I couldn't put it right up to my face....Strange huh?!

So now you have read my story, tell me about you!

Every morning, when choosing to sit on the train, I've noticed people commonly sit at diagonals to each other rather than next to or directly opposite someone else. Are we instinctly, opposed to eye-contact or contact of any other kind? Would we prefer no one to sit around us at all?

I dreamt last night that I was at a Christmas party and outside there was a santa and reindeer going around in circles on this field which was also a very steep field. I decided to go for a walk on it with my fiance and discovered that the hill was alot harder than i thought and ended up sliding back down on my knees. My fiance carried on and i was angry cos coming up behind was a 'really good' male friend (who i spoke to yesterday in real life and have arranged to meet). I was embarassed he'd see me struggling and stuck but he then helped me and it became easy. And I was happy but still cross with my fiance. Don't know how but i then ended up in a french hospital with my fiance by my side and i was wearing a huge colostomy bag! (which i've never had before).

Any ideas, there seem to be a few ideas stick straight out to me but want to know others' thoughts please, especially experts!

Was one of those dreams that stirs in your head for ages after as if there is some significance
