Psychology Survey Just For Fun?


What I’m about to type is totally fiction and for research use only. I will tell a story and will ask a couple questions at the end of it. I’m doing this to see how people react and what opinions I shall receive about the story.
An 18-year old male sits down with two females (both looking to be around 19-20 years old) and one male (who seems to be about 20 years old) at a table outside of a college building. The visitor to the group has aspergers-austism, while the others appear to have no disorder or disability. While, the group is talking one of the females points out a “religious symbol”, a pentacle, the asperger male seems to be wearing around his neck. The male claims that it is not a religious symbol (not realizing that his information was wrong at the time being) and that a pentagram is a religious symbol, and not
a pentacle. The two females and other male try to explain that it is a religious symbol for both wiccanism and paganism (NOTE: The symbol he is wearing is a right-side up pentacle), however, due to the way his brain can sometimes mix up words when he hears them, he mistakenly thought he heard that the upside down pentagram is for wiccans and visa versa for pagans (thinking at the time that there is a strict difference between the two, remember he has not realized that he is wrong yet) and criticizes them about their comment. The two female grow enraged saying that they know what they are talking about because they have been pagans for quite a while (year wise that is) and yell at him for not realizing his incorrect thinking. Confused and on the verge of a panic attack, the aspergers male tries to calm down and asks questions to understand what his mistake was, however the two females and male refuse to answer any of his questions because of how enraged they are. The other male tells the aspergers male to “shoo” like he is some sort of animal. The aspergers male, still in a confused and panic state, tries to calmly ask why he has to leave, but the other male continues to try and “shoo” him. One of the females, however, said that he could stay if he wanted to.
To clear things up about this story:
1. The two females and other male had no idea that the male had aspergers syndrome.
2. The aspergers male is agnostic and is not affiliated with wiccanism or paganism.
Now for the questions:
1. Was there really a point to the whole arguement in the first place?
2. Was it really necessary for the two females to raise their voices with the aspergers male even though he was not raising his voice in the first place?
3. What are your thoughts on the other male’s attempt to “shoo” the aspergers male?
4. If you were a friend of the aspergers male and knew him quite well, what would you do in a situation like this?
5. What is your opinion of the whole story?

Phd In Clinical Health Psychology Or Md?


Please Help.
I am debating between applying to medical school or getting a phd in clinical health psychology.
My undergrad in pre-med (biology) was due to my interest in neurology (chronic pain/migraine). As it turns out the length of time is about the same for each degree path but the ultimate salary is less as a healthy psychologist. I am also concerned I won’t find a job as a psychologist in a pain clinic since it is such a small niche. I would appreciate feedback from people who have experience in these fields. Thanks so much!!

How Does Expression Of Emotion Influence Relationships? Please Take My Survey :-)?


I am a graduate student in the Psychology Department at San Francisco State University. I am currently seeking volunteers to take my online psychology study titled “Adjusted DRAI Study”. The time commitment will be approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour. This study examines the connection between relationships and emotions. One of the questionnaires, the Adjusted Display Rules Assessment Inventory (DRAI), measures the frequency of an individual’s experience and expression of emotion in the context of specific relationships. Participants must be 18 years of age or older. If you are not affiliated with SFSU, and do not have a sona systems number, please enter 00000 when asked for your sona systems number.

Do You See Me Being Able To Get A Job In The Future That Will Pay Me Enough To Support Myself? (stats Inside)?


So I am only 20 years old now with very little college education. I am in the US Army and am currently in Afghanistan. I strongly want to go back to school after I get out of the Army and finish up my degree in Sociology or Psychology. I wanted to work with the FBI, but I don’t see that happening with today’s job market.
So after the Army this is what my resume will look like:
-3 years active duty service in the US Army(1 deployment to Afghanistan)
-SECRET clearance from the US Army good for 10 years as of June 2009
-Fluent in English and Bengali. Also speak French, but not fluently
-Bachelor’s degree in Psychology(or Sociology)
I just want a job where I’ll be able to support myself(be able to afford an apartment, utilities, have enough to eat, gasoline, etc). Do you see me being able to get a job anywhere in the the northeastern United States with these stats? And should I major in Sociology or Psychology? Which would open more doors for me in terms of getting a job that pays enough?
Thanks!
