I have the memory of a goldfish.

 Memory is quite weird if I'm going, to be honest with you. Okay, maybe I'm just projecting on people who have really good memory while I have a very bad memory. I have the memory of a goldfish as one may say.  All of the short-memory tests I have taken can prove it as well because I have scored below 50% every time😭😭. It's crazy.  Okay, I will admit that the one with the spacebar was confusing to figure out since I kept waiting for them to tell me if the image was in the cluster of images they were giving me, but that's just me being stupid. However, they all prove that my short-term memory kind of sucks.  I guess it's mostly due to the fact that I did not have much time to recite and recall as some of these were time and that most of the information did not make it into my long-term memory which is where I pull most of my information from. I never like to use my short-term memory as there's not much in it because I forget about it !! This article from The Gu...

That is a particular situation, but all of this will broaden further into socialization(and will also narrow down to the psychology of this wacky situation.

How compliance would be put into this situation would be that I am very playful with the cats, and then my friend would ask me to make them go to their food bowl. My behavior would change from a playful, happy mood to a persistent attitude.  Obedience is a form of social influence elicited in response to direct orders from an authority figure. An example would be that the owner of the cat cafe will ask me and my friends to teach the cats tricks. Since it's the owner, my friends and I will obey what the owner asks us to do and teach the cat tricks.  Social Facilitation is when a person...

the anything blog- identity crisis edition

 So I was like hm... what the heck am I going to write on the chloe homie psych blog today? And then I remembered that I still had to write my college essay for my english class and then BAM! IDEA !!! This made me go on intense research(and by intense research, I really mean that I found this cool article on the first 2 scrolls and figured that I can apply it to my actual life because this college essay is REALLY making me have a full on identity crisis) We all know that change in all of the stages are life is crucial for development, no matter how crucial it is.  Most of these changes come in many forms, more specifically through identity crisis. Yes it is painful to go through because it most likely makes you question your self worth and has your self-esteem going at an all time low. But fortunately, psychology can help us push through these difficult times and can help many people hate themselves less during this difficult time. In childhood, it is a big change and consiste...
