What is operational conditioning?
The conditional operator (? :) is a ternary operator (it takes three operands). The conditional operator works as follows:
- The first operand is implicitly converted to bool. It is evaluated and all side effects are completed before continuing.
- If the first operand evaluates to true (1), the second operand is evaluated.
- If the first operand evaluates to false (0), the third operand is evaluated.
What are the clusters of behavior?
they are: observing pinpointing projection increasing decreasing creating shaping
Who was Albert Bandura and why was he concerned about what children viewed on television?
Albert Bandura is a renowned psychologist who contributed two main theories to the field of psychology: the social learning theory and the theory of self-efficacy. However, he is most well-known for his "Bobo Doll experiment." The Bobo doll experiment was an experiment in which children viewed a researcher behave aggressively towards a Bobo doll. When the researcher left the room, the kids in the experimental group (who viewed the aggressive researcher) were more likely to behave aggressively towards the doll. This suggests that aggression, especially in children, can be linked to the act of social learning. Therefore, Bandura was concerned that the violence and bad behavior portrayed on television could influence children to model it.
Making a tazer is surprisingly easy. All you have to do is buy a disposable camera with a flash. It can be just about any type. All you have to do is take the paper or cardboard off the camera then you should be left with a plastic casing. you might see some little hook like things. You have to undo these. Its a little tricky but it's possible. after that you will be holding the actual device. Now you'll have to look for the capacitor. It's probably near the flash or on the side of the camera. Be careful and do not touch this It's not deadly but it scares the crap out of you. Trust me I know. now you just have to find the flash button. Press this and you should hear a sound. If you do then if someone touches the capacitor while your holding the button it should shock them. Be careful because sometimes the capacitor can still shock you even if there's no batteries in it. I f the capacitor stops working you can make them touch the green panel and this will have the same effect as the capacitor. Be careful because my cousin did this and it turned a little part of his finger black. It's cheap but effective and if you want it to be deadly you could hook up a bigger voltage battery up to it. I don't know the outcome of this because I've never tried it so be careful. Hope this helped. : P
This is an opinion question and there may be several distinct views
Answer 1
I think it would be okay if my man were to look at another woman. It's only natural and he IS a man. I would want to look at a good looking man passing by too. A lot of women are different though.S ome are possessive and controlling or maybe just jealous. Let her know she's the only one (which should be the case since you two are married). If she doesn't understand that then apparently she has a problem.
Answer 2
No right or wrong. She's sad. He's exasperated. It's just a bad situation. I do think there's something very beautiful about a couple who really, wholeheartedly and effortlessly see only one another in that way. But that's got to be pretty rare...
Answer 3
For me, it depends on what "looking" means. If you are referring to something innocuous like sitting in a cafe and noticing the women that pass you by, I see no issue with this. If it refers to cycling through dating sites or sex hotlines with images or short clips of beautiful girls, then I would agree with your wife.
What is personality development?
Personal development is achieved when you shed your naivety. Most people feel that they are wiser and more worldly than the person they were in the past. This can specifically be measured with the completion of Goals.
According to transactional analysis what part of us directs behavior?
I know that TA says each person has a "Parent," "Adult," and "Child" -- and I believe that it is said to be the Adult that directs behavior, taking into account the "advice" of the Parent and the needs of the Child.
It depends on how you think of your relationship. If you think that the two of you are dating and he doesn't you need to have a discussion and see if you can come to agreement or just give him time to come there on his own.
What does it mean when people stare at you?
People may stare at you for various reasons, such as finding you attractive, noticing something different or interesting about you, or simply being lost in thought and not realizing they are staring. It's important not to jump to conclusions or feel self-conscious, as there could be a multitude of reasons for their behavior.
The {so called} suicide that you ask about, is an act of love. And in my understanding it was not a suicide, it was a {SACRIFICE} of Gods love for us. In the Bible God tells us how much He LOVES us by giving His Son Jesus Christ who is without sin, to die for our sin's. You can fine this in the book of John Ch: 3 & V-16. And just to let you know what Great Love is. Look in the Holy Bible in the book of John Ch: 15 & V's -12 & 13. And I Quote- "This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." Unquote.... I hope this helps you to see that there are many types of death. One is a death called suicide, & I don't believe its the way to go. And another type of death is called {sacrifice}. And Jesus died as a {sacrifice} of Gods LOVE for all of us. And to give us a new life as Christians. All we need to do is to ask Jesus to come into our lives, forgive us of our sin's & show us how to LOVE one another.
In Catholic teaching, Jesus' death isn't considered suicide, any more than a soldier marches who toward his death in an attempt to do something brave and good.
If it's assumed that Jesus knew his actions would gain the attention of the Jewish hierarchy and the Romans, leading most likely to trial and execution, it only means he knew the inevitable outcome of his struggle to teach unorthodox views and help others. Suicide is the reckless waste of life and is considered a selfish act by some because a person who commits suicide literally destroys the gift of life given to him. But to lay down one's life for a morally good cause is considered a sacrifice because that person has used his or her life to the best of his or her abilities and with good intent, even if the price is death.
.............................
To commit suicide is to take ones own life. Christs death was an atoning sacrifice and was designed to ransom men from the affects of the fall of Adam in that both spiritual and temporal death are conquered.
If there had been no atonement, temporal death would have remained forever, and there would have been no resurrection. The body would have remained in the grave and the spirit would have stayed in what is called the spirit prison.
AnswerBeing killed is not the same as killing yourself. Is someone who over eats, resulting in health problems, dies of a heart attack, commiting suicide?
Answerthe definition of suicide is: 1. the intentional taking of one's own life. 2. the act or an instance of taking one's own life voluntarily and intentionally 3. a person who kills himself intentionally.The word intentionally means knowingly placing yourself in the hands of death. Jesus knew his actions would result to committing suicide. and like the above, over eating resulting in death is a slow suicide. you KNOW overeating would eventually lead to death, Jesus KNEW he would die if he took a stand for something he believed in and yet went along for it. the intention doesn't make the difference because in the end he did in fact die. same thing goes for those who believe so strongly in their faith that they are willing to die for it. those are all a form of suicide. whether the government sees it as a moral act of suicide is irrelevant. the government places emphasis on attempted suicide hence ignoring the reason behind it. the act of committing suicide isn't illegal, attempting to is. how can you be punished for succeeding in killing yourself if you wont be able to live through the charges. if you attempt suicide and succeed, then it is not illegal, if you attempt suicide and fail, only then is it illegal. this means you are being imprisoned and punished for something you failed to do that wasn't even illegal in the first place. can you think of another law that shows failure as a punishment, but success in suicide not?
I don't think this answers the question but it does make you think about how moral teachings can be sought out to be a sin. How, if suicide for a moral cause was OK and not illegal then everyone could say they attempted suicide for a moral and OK reason. This would make other problems arise. You could state you stole for a moral reason like to help a dying family, but it is still illegal in the governments eyes. How is the reason for suicide any different.
Jesus believes He's the Prophesied MessiahSo suicide is not in his thought. And he can free his people from the Romans with just two swords. And when he realized he was not the Messiah, on the cross he uttered ; "My God, my god, why hath thou forsaken me."Luke 22:36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. "He that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one." 22:37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end. 22:38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.
New AnswerThe death of Jesus represents the change that occurs when the Christ consciousness is reached and when we reach that point in our progression it is referred to through language of mind as the second coming of Christ. There were many opportunities to kill Jesus earlier. His words while on the cross actually mean 'for this I was spared". The scenario was necessary to present the proper picture for us. Sin is a mistake with no learning from it so that it is repeated. Suicide is the refusal to do any more learning. When this occurs, the soul or subconscious mind makes the decision that it is no longer productive to stay in the physical. The decision when we come in or leave is made subconsciously. for INFO onlyWhat was the character of his death?Homicide. "Jesus of Nazareth, a man ... ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain" (Acts ii, 22, 23).
Regicide. "The Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David" (Luke i, 32). "This is the King of the Jews" (xxiii, 38). "There they crucified him" (33).
Deicide. "The Word [Christ] was God" (John i, 1). "I and my Father are one" (x, 30). "They crucified him" (xix, 18).
Suicide: "I [Christ] lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself" (John x, 17, 18).
Common Definition of Suicide1. The act or instance of killing oneselfintentionally. 2. A person who kills himselfintentionally. These Dictionary definitions show the very assumption behind the question to be flawed as Suicide is by definition self-inflicted.Thus, if we can demonstrate that Jesus drove the nails into himself, and tied himself up while nailed or else he tied himself up and then drove in the nails and in the state of being so impaled he then raised the cross with himself on it into the hole which he had dug and fixed it fast all while the soldiers watched - if this can be demonstrated to have happened then we can all agree that Jesus committed some kind of Suicide.
He Laid Down His LifeIn the verse quoted above we have a definitive statement of what actually came to pass. Jesus laid down his life in order to take it again when he rose victorious over death. A total and stark contrast with Judas the betrayer who did commit suicide in despair at his own error and foolish selfishness. Jesus who sacrificed himself willingly for others took his human life back again because death could not hold him.Iam not too sure that Jesus knew at first that his actions would lead to his death as far as I know he was being guided along by God and did not know for sure what the outcome would be until nearer to the end of his life anyway Iam sure that God would have not have revealed anything to anyone until the time was right...Jesus was carrying out God's plan and that plan is perfect and cannot be found as faulty at all and it is also written in the scriptures "that it is not for man to understand God" so I see it as God's business and therefore not mine!
ANSWER
Suicide is self-murder, but Jesus did not kill Himself, so it was not suicide. It may have been suicidal, but it was not suicide:( that is a sin, and Christ was sinless). The thing that I am surprised that no-one has mentioned is that all this was prophesied all through the Bible before Christ was even born - His birth, life events, death, and resurrection. Where? Go right back to the very start where Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden :
Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. [KJV]
As the King James version (above) may be unclear, I have also put The Modern King James Version with who is what in brackets to make it easier to understand:
Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between you [Satan] and the woman, and between your seed [ie Satan and unbelievers] and her Seed [ie Christ, (a descendant of Eve), and those in Him] ; He [ie Christ] will bruise your head [ie destroy him with a fatal blow], and you shall bruise His heel [ie cause Him to suffer]. [MKJV]
Suicide is when you effect the taking your own life, such as by swallowing poison,
shooting yourself or blowing yourself up, and is usually done for selfish reason.
In contrast is a person who risks his life for others in a way that likely will lead to
death, but which death depends upon the voluntary evil responses of souls who
are accountable for their actions.
The Lord Jesus did not kill Himself, nor act selfishly, but unselfishly did and said things that evil men could not tolerate, and thus they sought to attribute his works to an evil source and to destroy Him (cf. Mt. 12). Likewise, souls who hate the light today (cf. jn. 3:19-21) seek to impugn His holy character, to "destroy" Him whose holiness and authority challenges them.
Jesus did not commit suicide. He died on the cross so that we could live and be forgiven for our sins. God (his father) told him to do it also for us.
There are some who propose that Jesus' death was not only a suicide but a suicide with malice of forethought, in that Jesus death was not an act of passion (in the sense that he acted before he thought things through) but that Jesus was forewarned and not only did nothing to prevent his death but in fact began the course of events that lead to his death (at the last supper Jesus orders Judas to do what he must, showing foreknowledge but also a quasi-acquiecence.)
Jesus death, although viewed by Christians as a very noble act, can still be categorised as suicide. Suicide with a higher purpose in mind perhaps, but suicide all the same.
As an afternote, in Mark (widely accepted as the earliest gospel) Jesus dies in despair, crying out "Father, why has thou abandoned me!" suggesting Jesus believed that God had failed to intervene in his execution. This suggests that Jesus death was possibly not a suicide but instead a plan to bring upon the end times that went horribly wrong.
The Jews are who handed his death sentence, however we need to realize the purpose of Jesus' ransom sacrifice:
"In Adam all are dying," said the apostle Paul. (1 Corinthians 15:22) Jesus' ransom had to involve the death of the exact equal of Adam-a perfect human. (Romans 5:14) No other kind of creature could balance the scales of justice. Only a perfect human, someone not under the Adamic death sentence, could offer "a corresponding ransom"-one corresponding perfectly to Adam. (1 Timothy 2:6)
The apostle Paul explained: "Through one man [Adam] sin entered into the world and death through sin." (Romans 5:12) And "since death is through a man," God provided for the redemption of mankind "through a man." (1 Corinthians 15:21) In other words, he would pay the wage for Adam's sin. (Hebrews 2:9; 2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Peter 2:24) This would have profound legal consequences according to Gods perfect scales of justice. By nullifying the death sentence upon Adam's obedient offspring, the ransom would cut off the destructive power of sin right at its source.-Romans 5:16.
What do you call someone who shouts in their sleep?
Well, you can say "Shut up! I know you're having some kind of 'scary nightmare' but screaming your head off isn't going to fix it. All it does is irritate me so why don't you just crawl back into bed and deal with it!". I know it's a bit harsh but it gets the job done.
What is the medical name for a compulsive liar?
Psychiatrists, psychologists, clinical social workers, and other mental health personnel use the term 'compulsive lying' when they refer to people who cannot control their lying, that is, people who feel compelled to lie and are aware that they are lying. Therefore, compulsive lying implies impaired ability to control it. The term 'compulsive lying' is not a diagnosis. It is a behavior or a symptom associated with a number of mental disorders [for example, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder]. The term "confabulation" is used to describe lying or invention when the person who is lying is not aware that they are lying. To be more specific, confabulation is treating a fantasy as a fact, without awareness that fantasy has replaced fact."

How do adopted children find their birth parents?
One of the best ways to do this is to file a "Petition to Break the Seal of Adoption." Once the legal seal is broken (the fee to do this yourself - known as "Pro Se" in the legal world - is around $100) you can then get a copy of your original birth certificate with your birth parents names. There will be a fee for that also, usually about $50. You will need to contact the courthouse where you were adopted (search for Family court, not criminal court - they are in different buildings in most states). Once you have the names of your birth parents, you can begin searching for them. If you are fortunate to live (be adopted in) the states of Kansas or Alaska, then there is no seal, so it is easier to get the original birth certificate. Most of the paperwork you have to file requires you to be the adopted person yourself. Unless you are an attorney, you can almost never do this for someone else. Lawyers usually charge anywhere from $2000 and up. So it probably is a good idea to do a lot of research and go "Pro Se." As I write this I am working on it myself. You probably have to be at least 18 years old. Also the paperwork and laws vary greatly - not just from state to state - but also because of the year you were adopted. Ask the Family court what forms you need and what fees and payment are required, and get them notarized. Some require you to put down a reason. The most common are to check for medical history or to establish contact. I would go with the "medical history" reason because it sounds more official, and who knows - you may actually find some medical information that could come in handy. I hope it works out for you. - Bruce S.

How can a person mature beyond needing to have strict rules to relate to others?
Behaviors developed at child and adolescent stages which are considered "the norm" can be developed naturally by interaction with people inside and outside their normal circle. However, it is the influences of others that can create a deviation from what most consider "the straight and narrow" that has the biggest impact. Cognitive therapy is a useful tool to help one focus on actions that are, in the environment they live "acceptable". The basic life skills can further be developed by having a network of individual that seek conformative practices. This does not mean they will seek to brainwash, but rather to live in a manner acceptable to others.
When individuals mature and seek to isolate themselves they have little if any trends to follow except those they think are correct.
Why does a person only sweat on one half of their body?

When Did the Term Infantilism Appear in Psychology?
Paraphilic infantilism, usually just called infantilism, was formally defined by the APA in DSM IIIR in 1987. It may have resulted from the gradual adaptation of the term 'psychosexual infantilism' to apply specifically to cases involving diapers and/or babyhood, as opposed to a general lack of psychosexual development.
How can people give up smoking?
First off, lets tackle the question you asked. How can people give up smoking? They can't. People cannot give up something, that is an addictive poison, if they truly believe they are giving something up.
The reality is, you are not giving ANYTHING up, because smoking does NOTHING for you, all the effects are negative on your body.
People associate smoking with good things because it seems to be the one to solve them. This is of course our bodies reaction to nicotine. Please let me explain a bit more.
Our bodies will develop a tolerance to nicotine, which is an addictive poison. Due to our body's lack of nicotine after you have not smoked for a short time, we get feelings that are a result of the nicotine withdrawal.
This is the interesting part though...the nicotine withdrawal does not make you feel like you are low on nicotine...it feels like stress, anxiety, being tired.
Of course, once you light up a cigarette, it replaces that nicotine that it lost (not completely) and brings you back up to what would be closer to normal. This becomes a perception of your mind, that smoking helps your stress, your insecure feelings, your sleepiness. When the reality of the situation is that smoking CAUSED all of these feelings to begin with...which is the essence of the nicotine trap.
For more information on this subject, you can check out Allen Carr's Wikipedia page. He is the man, who is no longer with us, that helped ME quit.
Whatever you take from this answer though, do not go out and buy the patch, don't go buy medication, or any of that junk, you do not need it, just as much as you do not need cigarettes. Some of those companies are just as bad as cigarette companies with the fact that they try to make it seem SO DIFFICULT to quit smoking that you NEED their product to quit. That is complete BS!
Give this method a try, if you do not want to take my advise, download it off the internet somewhere...I am sure you can find it, but when you do, read it from front to back, and do not skip any of the words, and do not continue until you understand what the last chapter said.
If after reading this entire book, you do not feel different about smoking, feel free to contact me, and I will do what I can and pass on my knowledge if it will help you.

Why does a shy girl who quit dance lessons still play Dance Dance Revolution?
She quit dance lessons because she is shy of other people. The fact is its not focusing on that she still dances. Its because she likes dancing just not with other people. She wants to be alone. DDR is a one player game and i asume she plays by herself so i hope that explains it.
== == Because they don't think the others are right. He has a defense mechanism in which he will invalidate what others are saying about him. In his mind, he is "the saint" and the others are just poor, misled followers who haven't realized just how great he is.
Hi there, Id say his friends and family or anyone for that matter - Not even himself would admit he has a problem. Simply because to him its EVERYBODY else. Family and friends may think he is immature and leave it at at, maybe with the hope he will change... They never do! My N's family would say "he's just immature in some ways" and they had no idea how cruel of a person he was and even went as far as to say he wasn't capable of that, it's not who he is. It most certainly was who he is. I think a lot of narcissist's don't come out unless they can. He reserves the treatment and can show his true colours with you. They struggle to keep the facade going so they have to act normal to some people. They get there fix usually in so called intimate relationships. He is getting his narcassisitic needs met with you therefore he doesnt have to pull alot of his games on others as much.Plus he probably lies alot and tells others you have the problem. My N's father explains that she lives in just one dimension - her own. Both parents have volunteered on their own to say she is a spoiled brat and they realize she has a problem, and they are terribly sorry for the way she has treated not only me but others, including themselves. However they have never come out and admitted that she may be a narcissist. I don't talk to them about her unskillful approach to interpersonal relationships. They come to me to "check in" but I feel it is much better to leave her friends and family out of such a discussion.
