This occurred through surveys constructed and taken by a general college population of which provided substantive information. After analyzing the research, the two part hypothesis of significant correlation between positive traits yet non-significance for neuroticism, as well an increased rating for mates rather than self in positive categories and a decreased rating for mates concerning neuroticism were proven to be correct. Keywords: personality test, mate, self-reports, big-five, relationships A Study of the Relationship Between Self and Desired Mate Personality Testing Regarding the Big-Five Inventory (BFI) Factor of Personality Test Personality testing is a unique additive to scientific testing as it allows for the capability of showing a self-rated perspective of personal character traits. Furthermore, an individual not only possesses the quality of depicting their own personality, but also reporting the traits they ideally desire in a mate via the same method (Figuerdo,

All these relationships are at the heart of our existence and play a vital role in shaping our lives (Berscheid and Peplau, 2002). Currently the science behind relationships is being increasingly investigated due to a need to understand them. Psychology plays a key role in this development with developmental psychology, helping to explain the impact relationships have on growth and development. Friendship has been present throughout history and the definition of friendship differs across societies and cultures (Keller, 2004). In Western societies friendship can be defined as a voluntary, reciprocal relationship with strong positive affective connections which help the achievement of personal or social
The theories that will be discussed in this paper is going to contain the evidence that will support that declaration. Maslow Hierarchy of Needs Theory Maslow’s theory of Hierarchy of needs was developed because Maslow wanted to know how people are motivated. His theory was based on the idea that everyone’s motivation that is not based on a being rewarded or personal desires. He believed that people were motivated by fulfilling one’s needs. Maslow created a list of five motivational needs that is based on a pyramid.

There are two main explanations to face recognition in psychology. One of which is the feature analysis theory, this theory suggests that analysing individual features is most important in face recognition, this is also known as the bottom-up theory because vital cues from the face are analysed to aid recognition. This is much like a jigsaw because the individual features are put together to form a whole. Evidence for this theory comes from a study conducted by Sadr et al. which presented evidence suggesting that the eyebrows may not just be important but they may be the most important feature when it comes to face recognition.
CORRELATIONAL RESEARCH Correlational Research in Psychology LeighAnn Hancock Kaplan University PS300-Research Method I Professor Myeisha Leiva October 2, 2012 Correlational Research in Psychology Psychologists employ a number of different scientific methods to conduct research on social psychology topics. Employing these methods allows researchers to test hypotheses and theories by looking for relationships between different variables. Social psychologists use correlational research in order to identify relationships between naturally occurring variables. Conducting surveys is a popular method for researchers to use to gather data needed for a correlational study. Surveys allow researchers to predict and describe people’s opinions, attitudes and preferences by computing a correlation coefficient and determining the strength and direction of the relationship between the two naturally occurring variables.
Structuralism was developed by a man named Edward Titchener who was a student of Wilhem Wundt. Titchener was extremely interested in learning about the structure of the consciousness. He believed in the use of experimentation for the science of psychology (Kowalski & Westen, 2009). The second school of thought, functionalism, along with structuralism was the two schools of thought which were dominant in the beginning of psychology (Kowalski & Westen, 2009). Functionalism studied the psychological processes which enable individuals to be able to adapt to their environments; each psychological process has an important role which is their main point of focus.
Introduction to Cross-Cultural Psychology Alice F. Brown Psy 450 May 21, 2013 Shally Vaid Introduction to Cross-Cultural Psychology Culture is defined as a set of attitudes, behaviors, and symbols that are shared by a group of people and passed down from generation to generation (Shiraev & Levy, 2010). Cultural psychology is about finding links that are meaningful between a culture and how an individual thinks who lives in the same culture (Shiraev & Levy, 2010). How an individual internalizes his or her culture is the basis of cultural psychology. Cross-cultural psychology is the study of cultures in a comparative and critical method by psychologists. Cross-cultural psychologists are interested in the similarities and differences in all cultures.
What is the dependent variable? How would you define it operationally? Having Fun With Operational Definitions Adapted from teachpsychscience.org Directions: Identify and operationally define the independent and dependent variables in each of the following research ideas. Research Idea #1: A social psychologist was interested in whether people are more likely to exhibit conformity when they are in situations that make them feel nervous and unsure of themselves. What is the independent variable?
