Learning for social psychology

I'm sitting here learning for my test in social psychology and I thought I could share some funny facts I learned recently.

Fact 1: Former relationships have a big influence on later relationships cause we always compare former satisfaction levels with our recent relationship.

Fact 2: the Commitment of our relationship depends on Investment, satisfaction (which consists of function of costs, rewards and comparison level) and the comparison level. It's also important how high the comparison level for alternatives is

Fact 3: If someone accidentally destroys your vase it's better to let him pay for it than to say it doesn't matter because the person would feel horrible. The base of this is the so called equity theory

Fact 4: If you put people in smaller offices than they are used to they will work less than before and if you put them in bigger offices they will work more

Fact 5: the mere exposure effect says that the mere presentation of an unknown stimulus makes it more attractive

Fact 6: nice music makes you see people more attractive, displeasing music makes them more unattractive

Fact 7: when it's hot and crowded you think people are less attractive

Fact 8: The most important indicator for satisfaction in a relationship is analogy in attitude

Fact 9: The most important criteria for partnership selection for men is outer appearance and for women status

Fact 10: There are three dimensions of love: "intimacy, attachment and passion". The more there is of every dimension the bigger is the love but there can't be much passion when there is much intimacy for passion is a tool to increase intimacy, that's why people in longer relationships loose their passion some time

Fact 11: when a minority in a group says constantly that a transparency is green though it is obviously blue people start to think that it's really green

Fact 12: if a person sits in a room with insiders who are instructed to show no reaction and smoke starts to come out under the door they have the tendency to stay at their seat even when the smoke starts to become so thick that they can't see a thing

Fact 13: If you ask a small favor of someone and he helps you, the probability that he will help you a next time rises significant (that's called the foot in the door technique)

Fact 14: If you ask someone a really big favor, he declines and you asks him a smaller favor he tends to help you (that's called the door in the face technique)

Fact 15: you show a better performance for easy tasks just because people are attendant and a worse for  hard tasks

Fact 16: You tend to prefer your own group over others even if you have a loss of your total gain

Fact 17: you doesn't lower your aggression by letting it out, it increases instead

Fact 18: the mere presence of arms increases the aggression


  

A really wonderful Speech!

New concert outfit!

Bought this nice dress and some Accessoires for my band's next concert in february. I realy like it!

First snow! First december!

Today it began to snow for the first time this winter! No matter how old I become, I guess the first snow will always be something special for me. I get so excited like a child :D

So today there also was a festival at my old school and I hurried there after university but when I arrived everything was nearly over. But though I was able to meet some old teachers of mine, especially one lady which lead me through my whole schoollife. It was somehow realy awkward to visit a place I have so many Memories of, after nearly two years. At that moment it felt as if time had not passed by and I were still there with all the people I treasure inside me as important persons. Maybe I am just too sentimental because of the snow, but it realy was something great.

After that I went with some old schoolfriends to visit the christmasmarket. It was so crowded, I nearly got lost but the mood with all the lights and smells and music was somehow still smooth and made me wish for christmas to come fast!

I wish everyone a great start into the christmasseason!

How great

"Hillsong - How Great Is Our God - With Subtitles/Lyrics - HD Version" auf YouTube ansehen!

Recently found this Video on YouTube and it impressed me much! I got goosbumps everywhere because that Video was so touching. I realy admire people who can let go of themselves and anjoy such a precious religious moment as q great unit. I am a bit jealous because for me it's quite hard to believe with no doubt but I think it even gives One a lot of strength when you watch them being lost in that monent and listen to all the voices comingtogether. How great must a god be who can make people be so full of joy and passion?! I think we all, despite our believes, should take a small part of their trust and passion to ourselves!

Let it finally begin!
