You like a boy and he makes fun of you what do i do?
If someone you like is making fun of you, it's important to communicate your feelings to them in a calm and assertive manner. Let them know that their behavior is hurtful and see how they respond. If they continue to make fun of you despite your feelings, it may be best to distance yourself from this person and focus on finding someone who respects and appreciates you.
How do attitude emotional intelligence and motivation affect college and job success?
Our attitudes toward success and failure actually begin in the Mastery Stage during grade school (see Stages of Life, examples: Maslow; Piaget; and others). If a child's parents always completed tasks and homework for the child, or if a child was told he or she would never amount to anything, that child may feel unmotivated to even try to perform tasks.
However, attitude, emotions and emotional intelligence, and motivation can each change throughout life. This is important! People can and do change-- in all areas.
Attitude
Many young adults enter college because it "is expected". Some of these students don't really want to learn, but they enter college as if it is another milestone, like progressing from baby bottle to a sippy cup. If they have the attitude that they don't really care about education or about the grades they earn, these students could be satisfied with earning a C.
Other students, though, have an attitude that values learning, education, and achieving adult milestones. With this attitude, even a student with an aptitude of a C-learner may concentrate harder, study longer, and earn a B-grade instead of the expected C.
Motivation
Motivation works hand-in-hand with attitude, and for the most part, each is a component of success in any endeavor. In some cases, though, (a bad or poor) attitude can work against motivation. For example, a young man's attitude is the world acts against him and gives all the breaks to people who have better homes, cars, clothing. He has none of these - yet. He feels motivated to go to school, learn a good trade that will earn him good money. He has the aptitude, even though he hasn't always brought home A's in high school. Then, half-way through the first semester, he scores a "C" grade. His negative attitude rears up; he blames the instructor for giving other "better-dressed" students the A's and that he only got a C because "the teachers want me to fail, just like my dad always said I'd fail". Here, the student has a psychological disconnect between his desire and motivation, and his attitude and self-esteem. Usually, a person can have all the desire and motivation in the world, but if he or she suffers from a low self esteem with negative attitudes about themselves especially or about others, success will be hard-fought and hard-won. IF, however, the person changes their attitudes and maintains their motivation, success comes much easier regardless of a person's background.
Emotional intelligence (EI or EQ)
Emotional intelligence differs from what we know as IQ-- intelligence quota. There are many people who have high IQs but who have impaired emotional intelligence (EI). EI combines many inter-personal and personal skills and helps guide us in our reactions to other people. EI is not the same as maturity or immaturity, but instead relies on one's ability to accurately assess, identify, and even manage the emotional climate within ourselves and in relation to others. Rather than being mature or strictly self-reliant, IE means we can rely on our emotional senses as one skill among many other skills (such as IQ, attitude, motivation). Daniel Goleman introduced this "mixed model" of how to define IE. You can read more here about the different definitions and models: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotional_intelligence
Summary
The descriptions I gave apply to students or employees. Remember though, many people with lower EI often do succeed in highly skilled professions... and many average IQ students succeed and obtain gainful employment. Of all of these traits, motivation and attitude put the most drive into any accomplishment, and for that reason, educators and psychologists must give early attention to people who grew up in environments with low motivation and negative attitudes.
Why do abusers enjoy abusing others?
Abusers enjoy abusing others because the abuser likes the control they have over the abused. Meaning, when they are hitting a man/woman/child/etc, they feel powerful and controlling, which is what they want. The abusers are usually people who crave control in their life and know they can have it by abusing others who are "weaker", not only physically but mentally. This is especially true when it comes to men abusing women (which is more often); the man wants the control over the woman, so he beats her, some men even get pleasure out of it, some men are just raised to feel that women are no better than dirt and should be treated as such, sometimes its in the culture, etc. It all boils down to how they are raised. If they grew up in an environment that had abuse in it (mental, physical, emotional, etc) they are most likely to grow up and show signs of that. Overall, its all about control with those people.
When does a new born recognize his father?
A newborm won't 'recognise' their father as such. If you are part of the baby's life for its first days, then they wil get used to you and accept you as part of life; after that, you build on the relationship until they can connect the concept of 'father' with you personally.
What are the early signs of Male homosexuality?
Sexual attraction to men.
You can never tell someone is gay, bi, straight or lesbian until they are old enough to tell you, which is when they themselves know for sure. There are no so called "signs".
What state do the stupidest people live?
A state where all the people think Justin Bieber is gay, because he's not! Why does everybody think that?! Seriously, he's not gay people, so shut up your jealous mouths, and get your gay brains to change directions in your gay heads, and stop wishing Justin Bieber was gay, because he isn't now and he never will be! Yeah, I just spoke the truth, and I'm proud of it!
Piaget's theory of concrete operational stage is where children develop conservation skills, problem-solving abilities, and logical thinking. During this stage, typically between ages 7-11, children can understand the concept of conservation, which involves recognizing that quantity remains the same despite changes in appearance. This stage marks a crucial development in a child's cognitive abilities.
Are people who like music sentimental?
Not necessarily. People who like music may appreciate it for various reasons such as the emotional connection, the aesthetic pleasure, or the intellectual stimulation it provides. Enjoying music does not exclusively indicate sentimentality.
Is the money be the best motivator towards high performance for a worker?
Money can be a motivator for some workers, but it is not always the best or only motivator. Other factors such as recognition, job satisfaction, opportunities for growth, and a positive work environment can also drive high performance. Employers need to consider a variety of motivators to effectively engage and inspire their employees.
How do innate and learned behaviors differ?
Innate behavior is known from birth, for example breathing or blinking for humans. We do not need to be taught this behavior. However, learned behaviors are taught and would not otherwise be built upon/perfected alone, like formulating sentences.
Concept of normal and abnormal behavior in psychology?
Normal behavior is basically behavior that is socially acceptable. Everyday type stuff. Abnormal is what lies outside that standard deviation. Things such as schizophrenia, bipolar, and other psychological disorders are classified as abnormal.
To punish a baby under 6 months for crying is it more effective to slap or withhold food?
it's best to figure out why it's crying
Improvement:
A baby under 6 months should never be punished for crying. Crying can be a signal that humans are unable to express something wrong at any age, for children under 6 months it is also the ONLY way they are able to express that something is wrong.
Physiologically: Crying is not just a signal that a body needs help - among other functions, crying triggers hormones and neurotransmitters that allow bodies to handle stress, remove harmful build-up, and lubricate eyes.
Colic and similarly unexplained crying in babies might be triggered by ongoing development of digestive and intestinal systems that can occur even full-term babies that are perfectly healthy. If the baby is healthy, warm, clean, and not being hurt by people or its environment we can rule out the causes we DO understand but babies can't talk so it is impossible to rule out the millions of reasons the baby could be crying that have to do with how it feels.
Psychologically: When an older child/adult/friend/spouse/sibling cries but is not apparently ill, we can ask and they can try to give details about whether they are stressed, sad, angry, happy but even well-read adults with huge vocabularies at their disposal may be unable to explain or verbalize what is making them cry.
Babies' only mode of communication is crying. Whether or not something is obviously wrong, the baby feels that something is wrong. They might have a stomach pain we don't understand or they might have an emotional pain/sadness because they miss being curled up in a warm, wet womb - we have absolutely no idea and absolutely no way of knowing. Baby is asking for help that we don't know how to give.
When we punish children and babies for crying, we are punishing them for asking for help and that may damage their ability to register and process negative situations and discourage them for asking for help when faced with negative events/feelings in the future.
Informal evidence of this psychological impact could relate to the stereotype about adult men being more reluctant to ask for directions when they are lost - baby boys are discouraged from crying more commonly than girl babies.
So although it may be extremely stressful to hear a baby crying, if you are certain there are no external reasons for the baby to cry, do your best to live with it. Get help from others if you can. If you are really alone, try to treat the baby how you would want to be treated if you were sick or going through something painful that you knew could not be cured and were not sure that it would pass. I would want some sympathy, encouragement, and patience - if I also couldn't feed or dress myself, I'd probably need more hugs and warmth. If you ignore crying, the baby doesn't know if his crying isn't working or if you are just not noticing has every reason to cry more - wouldn't you if you were crying out for help and people just walked past you?
As difficult as this may seem, we are learning that babies understand much more than we previously thought. They sense stress and anxiety and have awareness of probabilities. Babies respond to your stress and fear and could cry even more because they notice their crying is freaking you out. Read all the NEW research you can find about the physiology of colic - the more you know, the less you will have to fear. I stress NEW because 20 years ago, we knew even less about crying and punishing babies was accepted by many cultures - we are just learning about the long term impact of baby punishment - shaken baby syndrome is diagnosed only in extreme cases that may cause death but in early stages of development, brain damage can easily be inflicted through all kinds of baby punishment.
Don't punish your baby. Don't punish yourself.
If you've tried already started experimenting with different kind of punishment, don't punish yourself. Most of us were socialized to associate crying negatively and forget we also cry to express joy in some of the best times of our lives. Babies learn through repetition and you're not too late to change what the baby expects. Try consistent sympathy and encouragement, even if it feels goofy. Tell your spouse and any other caregivers so the baby doesn't get mixed signals and learn that only one of you will be there to help through a negative event.
Full disclosure: I'm not an expert on babies or crying. I study management science and human behavior in organizations. I am currently investigating risk management and the benefits of fostering a workplace where crying is considered "safe" to prevent the kind of group-think, not-speaking-up-mentality that led millions of otherwise reasonable bankers and business people to make the decisions that led to the financial crisis. Billion dollar companies are investing huge amounts of money to train executives NOT to punish adults from crying and instead seeing emotion as a valuable source of feedback that something is going on they are not aware of - and these people know how to talk.
Punishment at any age should be related to something people do that is wrong - crying anyone for crying is like punishing someone for sweating - what we see is only a tiny piece of what our bodies are doing- we SEE the wetness but sweat is the way our bodies cool themselves down when we are hot and babies may not even have the glands developed to do sweat.

Why do you shiver when scared?
Shivering when scared is a result of the body's fight-or-flight response to stress. When you feel frightened, your body releases adrenaline, which can cause muscles to tense up and shiver in order to prepare for potential danger. It's a reflex action designed to help you respond quickly to threats.
Why does he call you names and make lies about you?

What is someone who enjoys being alone called?
Someone who enjoys being alone is often referred to as an introvert. Introverts tend to find solitude energizing and prefer spending time alone or in small, intimate groups.
Alfred Binet probably deserves the primary credit there, though the intention of his test was to ascertain the ability levels of different children to succeed in elementary school rather than to measure intelligence per se. In any case, it was a valid test of individual differences in aptitude.
Which gender is more flexible males or females?
Flexibility can vary among individuals regardless of gender. However, females tend to have slightly higher flexibility on average due to biological factors like differences in muscle and joint structure. Training and genetics also play a significant role in determining flexibility levels.
What is Hirschi's control theory?
Hirschi's control theory argues that individuals with strong social bonds are less likely to engage in deviant behavior. These social bonds include attachment to others, commitment to conformity, involvement in conventional activities, and belief in the moral validity of social norms. Stronger bonds lead to increased self-control and less likelihood of deviance.
