Flourish - Live an Inspired Life for #Success

How do you Identify? | Psych-100 | Chapter 71 | Flourish with Diane Planidin

 In recent years, gender and related concepts have become a common focus of social change and social debate. Many societies, including American society, have seen a rapid change in perceptions of gender roles, media portrayals of gender, and legal trends relating to gender. For example, there has been an increase in children’s toys attempting to cater to both genders (such as Legos marketed to girls), rather than catering to traditional stereotypes.
 
This module discusses gender and its related concepts, including sex, gender roles, gender identity, sexual orientation, and sexism in more detail. In addition, this module includes a discussion of differences that exist between males and females and how these real gender differences compare to the stereotypes society holds about gender differences. In fact, there are significantly fewer real gender differences than one would expect relative to the large number of stereotypes about gender differences. This module then discusses theories of how gender roles develop and how they contribute to strong expectations for gender differences. Finally, the module concludes with a discussion of some of the consequences of relying on and expecting gender differences, such as gender discrimination, sexual harassment, and ambivalent sexism.

Live an Inspired Life!

From Generation to Generation | Psych-100 | Chapter 70 | Flourish with Diane Planidin

Although the most visible elements of culture are dress, cuisine and architecture, culture is a highly psychological phenomenon. Culture is a pattern of meaning for understanding how the world works. This knowledge is shared among a group of people and passed from one generation to the next. This module defines culture, addresses methodological issues, and introduces the idea that culture is a process. Understanding cultural processes can help people get along better with others and be more socially responsible.

It’s important to understand that culture is learned. People aren’t born using chopsticks or being good at soccer simply because they have a genetic predisposition for it. They learn to excel at these activities because they are born in countries like Argentina, where playing soccer is an important part of daily life, or in areas like Taiwan, where chopsticks are the primary eating utensils. So, how are such cultural behaviors learned? It turns out that cultural skills and knowledge are learned in much the same way a person might learn to do algebra or knit. They are acquired through a combination of explicit teaching and implicit learning—by observing and copying.

Live an Inspired Life and embrace your Culture!

A Great Tip to Help you Remember - Anything | Flourish with Diane Planidin

Significant memory advantages can be attained through a method that science has proven to work.  

This episode discusses a paper that was written by Noice & Noice in 2007 regarding improving your memory through movement.

"It is a tantalizing thought that good acting is both completely spontaneous and repeatable on demand; when something is repeatable, it is usually open to exploration, making acting a potentially fertile ground for further investigation of human cognition."

Give it a try and let me know in the comments if it works for you.

Live an Inspired Life!

Relationships and Well Being | Psych-100 | Chapter 69 | Flourish with Diane Planidin

If you were to reflect on the best moments of your life, chances are they involved other people. We feel good sharing our experiences with others, and our desire for high quality relationships may be connected to a deep-seated psychological impulse: the need to belong. Aristotle commented that humans are fundamentally social in nature. Modern society is full of evidence that Aristotle was right. For instance, people often hold strong opinions about single child families—usually concerning what are often viewed as problematic “only child” characteristics—and most parents choose to have multiple kids. People join book clubs to make a solitary activity—reading—into a social activity. Prisons often punish offenders by putting them in solitary confinement, depriving them of the company of others. Perhaps the most obvious expression of the need to belong in contemporary life is the prevalence of social media. We live in an era when, for the first time in history, people effectively have two overlapping sets of social relationships: those in the real world and those in the virtual world.

Live an Inspired Life and take care of your Well Being!

Know Thyself | Psych-100 | Chapter 68 | Self and Identity | Flourish with Diane Planidin

If you have ever tried hard to change yourself, you may have taken aim at your social reputation, targeting your central traits or your social roles. Maybe you woke up one day and decided that you must become a more optimistic and emotionally upbeat person. Taking into consideration the reflected appraisals of others, you realized that even your friends seem to avoid you because you bring them down. In addition, it feels bad to feel so bad all the time: Wouldn’t it be better to feel good, to have more energy and hope? 

In the language of traits, you have decided to “work on” your “neuroticism.” Or maybe instead, your problem is the trait of “conscientiousness”: You are undisciplined and don’t work hard enough, so you resolve to make changes in that area. Self-improvement efforts such as these—aimed at changing one’s traits to become a more effective social actor—are sometimes successful, but they are very hard—kind of like dieting. Research suggests that broad traits tend to be stubborn, resistant to change, even with the aid of psychotherapy. However, people often have more success working directly on their social roles. To become a more effective social actor, you may want to take aim at the important roles you play in life. What can I do to become a better son or daughter? How can I find new and meaningful roles to perform at work, or in my family, or among my friends, or in my church and community? By doing concrete things that enrich your performances in important social roles, you may begin to see yourself in a new light, and others will notice the change, too. Social actors hold the potential to transform their performances across the human life course. Each time you walk out on stage, you have a chance to start anew.

Live an Inspired Life and to thy oneself be true!

The Meaning of Life? Peak Experiences | Flourish with Diane Planidin | Maslow - Human Nature

Supreme inspiration comes from a state of immersing yourself in your work.  In what you really love to do.  This is your calling, your purpose and the spark is already within you.   As you immerse yourself, you will reach a state of flow, as if time is standing still and your creative mind takes over.  You feel calm and immense joy at the same time.  

Instant gratification will seem minor compared to how you will feel when you realize the power of peak experiences.  These are the moments when you seem to have an abundance of ideas and will create goals that will move you forward.

Join us as we explore human nature and the behaviours that lead to self-actualization through A.H. Maslow.  These episodes are devoted to those behaviours that will make a difference in the person you are becoming.

Live an Inspired Life and go for it - Immerse yourself!

Prejudice, Discrimination & Stereotyping | Psych-100 | Chapter 67 | Flourish with Diane Planidin

You are an individual, full of beliefs, identities, and more that help make you unique. You don’t want to be labeled just by your gender or race or religion. But as complex as we perceive ourselves to be, we often define others merely by their most distinct social group. 

Even in one’s own family, everyone wants to be seen for who they are, not as “just another typical X.” But still, people put other people into groups, using that label to inform their evaluation of the person as a whole—a process that can result in serious consequences. This module focuses on biases against social groups, which social psychologists sort into emotional prejudices, mental stereotypes, and behavioral discrimination. These three aspects of bias are related, but they each can occur separately from the others.

Live an Inspired Life and embrace your uniqueness and those of others in this diverse world we all share.

Do your Friends Lift your Spirits? | Psych-100 | Chapter 66 | Flourish with Diane Planidin

Groups usually exist for a reason. In groups, we solve problems, create products, create standards, communicate knowledge, have fun, perform arts, create institutions, and even ensure our safety from attacks by other groups. But do groups always outperform individuals?

Groups have instrumental, practical value, but also emotional, psychological value. In groups we find others who appreciate and value us. In groups we gain the support we need in difficult times, but also have the opportunity to influence others. In groups we find evidence of our self-worth, and secure ourselves from the threat of loneliness and despair. For most of us, groups are the secret source of well-being.

Live an Inspired Life and seek out a Group that has your best interests at heart.  This episode will help to explain the dynamics of groups and why they do and do not always work.

Changing Attitudes through Persuasion | Psych-100 | Chapter 65 | Flourish with Diane Planidin

Do you think you have inherited who you are?  There are some attitudes we adopt from our parents initially, that much is true, but not everything.  In today's episode we explore attitudes and how you can change yours to make your own decisions versus staying the course of what your parents believe and even what advertising does to persuade you into thinking you need more, more, more.  

Strong attitudes are attitudes that are more cognitively accessible—they come to mind quickly, regularly, and easily. We can easily measure attitude strength by assessing how quickly our attitudes are activated when we are exposed to the attitude object. If we can state our attitude quickly, without much thought, then it is a strong one. If we are unsure about our attitude and need to think about it for a while before stating our opinion, the attitude is weak.

Attitudes become stronger when we have direct positive or negative experiences with the attitude object, and particularly if those experiences have been in strong positive or negative contexts.

Live an Inspired Life and your ability to resist persuasion by creating a strong attitude. Procedures such as forewarning and inoculation can help increase attitude strength and thus reduce subsequent persuasion.
