Interest Packet Psychology is the scientif ic study of behavior and the mental process.
Essential ly, psychology is the study of what it means to be Human.
Term Introduction
In 2003, experienced mountaineer Aron Ralston found himself in a horrible situation. Hiking alone in Utah, a 800 pound rock fell on his arm trapping him “between a rock and a hard place.” After being stranded for almost a week, Ralston realized no one would be coming to rescue him. After seeing a vision of a one armed man scoop up a small child, he knew what he needed to do. With his remaining strength, Ralston tied a tourniquet and proceeded to cut off his arm with a dull knife. What motivates us? Do we all have this capacity? How do we define motivation? In unit 12 we will discuss our motivations and emotions, and the health effects of intense or prolonged emotions such as anger and stress. Earlier this year, we studied the human brain – three pounds of wet tissue the size of a small cabbage, yet containing circuitry more complex than the planet’s telephone networks. In unit

7, we meet the “intelligence war”: Does each of us have an inborn general mental capacity (intelligence), and can we quantify this capacity as a meaningful number? School boards, courts, and scientists debate the use and fairness of tests that assess people’s mental abilities and assign them a score. Is intelligence testing a constructive way to guide people toward suitable opportunities? Or is it a potent, discriminatory weapon camouflaged as science? Human beings have used this tool to invent the camera, the car, and the computer; to unlock the atom and crack the genetic code; to travel out into space and into the depths of our own brain. We have also seen how the human mind is easily deceived by perceptual illusions, pseudopsychic claims, and false memories. In unit 8, we will look at the rational and irrational sides of the human condition. We will consider how we use and misuse the information we receive, perceive, store, and retrieve. We will also look at language and consider how and why it develops. This will lead us to the ultimate question: do we truly deserve the name Homo sapiens? (Wise Human)
People are fascinated by the exceptional, the unusual, the abnormal. Why such a fascination with disturbed people? Even when we are well, do we see in them something of ourselves? At various moments, all of us feel, think, or act the way disturbed people do much of the time. We, too, get anxious, depressed, withdrawn, suspicious, or deluded, just less intensely and more briefly. No wonder studying psychological disorders sometimes evokes an eerie sense of self-‐recognition, one that illuminates our own personality. Indeed, as members of the human family, most of us will at some point encounter a person with a psychological disorder. In unit 9 we will focus on psychological disorders and in unit 10 the focus will be on treatment.

Required Reading
The required reading for the next lesson will be given each day, however students are encouraged to read ahead to deepen their understanding of each topic.
Assessment Due to school policy changes, taking the AP exam is no longer required. This will mean that we will have a final exam prior to the AP exam in term 4. This exam will be the exact same format as the AP exam. It is highly suggested that students devote time to their studies outside of class in order to prepare for this college level assessment.

Projects
Motivation & Emotion: Pay It Forward Project
Research suggests that people who fill their lives with random acts of
kindness actually live happier lives. This is a project around that idea, but more of a challenge. Over the course of the next two-‐weeks, I want you to set a goal to complete 5 random acts of kindness. The actual psychology research states that the people in the study who were able to do all 5 random acts of kindness in one day felt exceptionally happier during the full duration of the study (it was 6 weeks). Your time constraints are obviously different. I want you to attempt 5 random acts of kindness in the allotted time, today being day 1. I will provide some examples and stipulations below.
Random Acts of Kindness Suggestions:
• Pay the bill of the driver behind you at a fast food chain (works good at Cookout).
• Volunteer to help a neighbor with outdoor work.
Cheongna Dalton School | 834-122 Kyeongseo-dong Seo-gu Incheon Korea 404-170
• Wake up early and put a neighbor’s paper up by their door for a few days (Maybe even try it to your own parents since you’ll be able to better see their reaction, especially if you can do it without being noticed).
• Call or visit an older family member and have conversation “just to talk.” • Bake some goodies for a neighbor. • Give an extra-‐large tip at a restaurant you visit frequently. • Write a kind letter to a random person from a family address book. • Volunteer any amount of time at a local food bank, crisis center, animal
shelter. • Visit a local grocery store and volunteer to help elderly/handicapped people
with their groceries. • Create some pay it forward random act of kindness business sized cards and
pass them out to strangers you encounter (be sure to save one for me). • Any other creative ideas you may have just clear them with me.
Stipulations: Some random acts of kindness may not be large enough to produce an effect because it may be too common or experienced too frequently.
Do not count events such as:
• Holding the door open for someone. • Passing out smiley-‐faced stickers • Leaving a lucky penny in a parking lot for someone to find “Lincoln faced-‐up.”
For the actual assignment, I would like you to document these attempts at random acts of kindness. You can do this whenever you’d like as long as it is complete before the due date. Write a paragraph or so for each act of kindness describing the nitty-‐gritty around it…aka…the who, what, when, where information. Please include the date and time as well. In total, this should be no more than 1.5 pages or so (Single-‐Spaced), with at most, 5 separate paragraphs for the attempted acts of kindness, and a reflection paragraph of your happiness as the conclusion. Do you feel any happier? Are you any more motivated to help others? Do you feel any sense that in doing something good, you made yourself actually feel good too? These are the types of questions I’d like you to answer. Obviously, this is an assignment you can totally fudge. While there is no way for me to ensure you are actually attempting these random acts of kindness, I am putting my trust in you that you will. This is not meant to be busy work nor tedious work, but simply to demonstrate the effect a random act of kindness can have on you and a stranger. Please consider actually completing the task at hand and I can promise you will probably feel pretty good once it is all said and done. If you choose to be devious and deceitful, you will most certainly not reap the feelings of happiness and you will most likely damage our class data.

See me if you have any questions or if you want to clear any creative ideas with me. We will discuss the due date in class. Mr. Musselman
Intelligence and Testing
(Unit 7) Persuasive Speech
Directions: Choose one of the two following questions, and write a one page persuasive speech that reflects your knowledge and opinion regarding the topic. Remember persuasive writing is only effective when opinions are supported by applicable examples, which are most effective when linked to current research. Make sure to proofread your work. Individuals must record themselves reading their speech and upload it to youtube. Entire project is worth 25 project points Questions: What is intelligence? To what extent does intelligence result from heredity rather than environment?
Memento Investigation Assignment (UNIT 8)
Your group is an investigative unit (Max 3ppl). Your job is to solve a murder mystery (actually, several murder mysteries). The finish product will be a 3-‐4-‐page document that solves these murder mysteries for your police chief (me) and provides sufficient evidence to support your conclusions. Use the questions below to help you. Who killed Leonard’s wife? Who is Sammy Jenkis, and what does he suffer from? How is he connected to Leonard?
Cheongna Dalton School | 834-122 Kyeongseo-dong Seo-gu Incheon Korea 404-170
Who killed Jimmy Grantz, and why? Why does Leonard kill Teddy? What specific evidence does Leonard plant on himself to lead him to Teddy later on? How is Natalie involved in this whole situation? You do not necessarily need to answer these questions in this order. Answer them in the order that makes the most sense to you and makes the presentation of your case as convincing as possible. Note: Support all of your conclusions with specific moments, events, and quotations from the movie. Your police chief will not allow you to apprehend the criminal until he is thoroughly convinced of your conclusions. Within this document, I should see an understanding of repression, reconstructive memory, conversion disorder, context dependent memory, and implicit memory. Note: the investigative unit that turns in the best report will get a “raise” (3 assessment points each in addition to a good grade).
