How do you explain men who love their mothers but have a disrespect for other women?
It is unnatural and odd for a grown man to express (emotionally) his love for his mother. If he disrespects other women, I'd say his mother has convinced him that no other woman (except her!) is worthy of him - and he's buying into it. If the mother is rich, she may be holding money over his head as a "carrot" to keep him to herself. If you know a man like this....RUN!!!
What is aggression as defense mechanism?
Aggression is a way to deflect thinking from whatever is causing the anxiety. Aggressive people are usually anxious about something and trying to avoid the emotion involved with the anxiety. They strike out at everyone else around them instead of dealing with their emotions. The opposite of aggression is avoidance, where the person refuses to even fact the situation.

How are emotions created in our minds?
Emotions are created in our minds through a complex interplay of psychological and biological processes. It involves the interpretation of external stimuli by the brain, which triggers the release of hormones and neurotransmitters that lead to physical sensations and subjective feelings, ultimately shaping our emotional experience. Emotional responses can also be influenced by past experiences, learned behaviors, and individual differences in brain functioning.
Curiosity is driven by a desire for knowledge, novelty, and understanding. It often arises from gaps in our understanding or the need to solve problems. Additionally, curiosity can be influenced by factors such as individual differences, innate characteristics, and environmental stimuli.

Explain how the mind builds and modifies psychological structures according to piaget?
According to Piaget, the mind builds and modifies psychological structures so they achieve a better fit with external reality.
*Specific psychological structures - organized ways of making sense of experience are called schemes
*Adaptation involves building schemes through direct interaction with the enviorment
*During assimilation, we use our current schemes to interpret the external world
*In accommodation's, we create new schemes or adjust old ones after noticing that our current ways of thinking do not capture the enviorment completely.
*Equilibrium is the balance between assimilation and accommodation, when children are not changing much
*During rapid cognitive change, children are in a state of disequilibrium, or cognitive discomfort.
Why is it in your human nature to talk bad about someone?
Here's what I found: There are three general motives behind people talking bad about another person. 1. They're talking with someone to solve a problem they're having with the individual, but lack the skill to do it in a kind way. 2. They want to discredit the other person, or cause harm to the other person. Their motive is to hurt, or they feel they must defend themselves from hurt, so they hurt first. 3. They want to be accepted, so they find common humor, evil, etc. to talk about to make themselves feel better.
The first group: They talk about the problem, may go into detail, may exagerate a little, but their motive is mainly to get an idea of how to solve the problem, and not to hurt the other person. They may talk innapropriately, or in a way that may leave a negative light on the person they're talking about, but its not hateful.
The second group: People who talk bad about another person to cause harm: They seem to feel like you have some major impact in their life, and they are scared of you. For example, a friend who feels like her life is determined by how much boys like her will often bad mouth another girl who the boys like more than her - or that she thinks they like more than her. She does this because she feels like she must manipulate the people around her to stay safe. If she took responsibility for her own actions, and her own ability to change, to act, she wouldn't feel so threatened by other people. So usually, people who talk maliciously are really very terrified people. They feel they must manipulate the people around them to be safe. They don't start by changing their own actions and choosing how they feel, they let life around them tell them who they are. Its a very threatened place to live.
Third group:
They people are a combination of the two catagories above. They talk about others because they have nothing better to do. They just talk without considering the people or friendships that will be damaged, its just entertainment.
Bottom line, I found that the more someone is trying to harm and manipulate, usually the more sensitive and insecure that person is on the inside, so much so that they feel the need to control everyone around them to keep their lives stable.
When I find myself talking about someone, I ask myself - if this person were listening to me talk, would I feel honest and respectful of that person, even if what I'm saying is negative? That's my check.
Good luck.
What is an example of conceit?
Conceit is when someone thinks very highly of himself or herself.
For example, if someone goes around talking about how intelligent he is, that is conceit.
It's also conceit when someone thinks that nobody else is as good as she is at something.
What kind of job is available for a Master's degree?
Depends on what the degree is in. There is no "general" master's degree. They are in subject areas and to start on a MA or MS you have to have a BA or BS in that subject area. If you don't the university won't let you start the degree or take any classes towards one. Usually there is GRE that you have to take for admission, you apply to the department, and you fill out other forms to get into the program. Graduate units also cost more.

How does sensation and perception affect learning?
Sensation is the process of receiving information from our environment through our senses, while perception is the process of interpreting and making sense of that information. These processes play a crucial role in learning by allowing individuals to take in and process new information, make connections with prior knowledge, and understand the world around them. Clear perception helps in forming accurate mental representations, which in turn aids in memory retrieval and problem-solving during the learning process.
What is the difference between an absolute threshold and a decision threshold?
An absolute threshold was seen as a hypothetical barrier that incoming stimuli must overcome before they can be perceived, it was based on the ability to pass through the threshold based on absolute judgements about a single stimulus. In the case where a person were to, for example- detect a light, the strength of said light would have to be strong enough to pass the threshold for an observer to perceive it, it was generally based on the observer's ability to detect a signal.
In reality however, there is no such threshold that splits the stimulus dimension into detectable and undetectable components. Rather, a stimulus must yield a sensation that exceeds the decision criterion (beta) for even the weakest signal to be perceived, so a decision threshold is the stimulus that elicits the response or perception. The detectability and reporting of the presence of a signal- or the light- are both factors because the decision threshold must be passed and the results from the strength of the stimulus, for example the light- as well the evidence of yielding such strength, must be plausible. Only in this case, do we have correct detection of a signal.
What are the first signs of a psychopath?
There are many and various first signs just as there are many and various human personality traits. For example, in a psychopath who has a propensity for stealing, the first sign might be the appearance of items on the person's body or in her/ his room that logically don't belong to her/him. Another sign might be flimsy lies intended to explain the presence of those objects. In a psychopath who has uncontrolled and/ or irrational rages, the first sign would probably be a display of this behavior. Some psychopaths show no signs at all of their psychopathy. In about 2002 a man who had been suspected of being a serial murderer of women was arrested after investigators assigned to the case finally collected the evidence they needed to arrest him. He was indeed found guilty. The most shocking facet of the case that emerged in court was neither the number nor the visciouness of the crimes committed, but the fact that the murderer was a happily married family man, the father of two daughters who were adults by the time of the arrest, a pillar of his community, a deacon in his church, and much respected by all who knew him. For a detailed description of a psychopath who remained a functioning member of his community after attacking and leaving for dead two teenage girls who camped in a campground near his town, I recommend Terry Jentz's "Strange Piece of Paradise". The author was one of the victims. Rachel Jacobs California
