Is the phallic stage when moral conscience formed?
Your question is based upon the formalism of Freudian psychoanalytical theory, and you should bear in mind that even though Freud made very important progress in the study of human psychology, his theories are no longer taken literally by psychologists. It would be more accurate to say that people develop such moral consciences as they may have (if they do not become narcissists with no conscience) in childhood.
What areas of research would interest a social psychologist?
Social Psychology is a VERY broad field so social psychologists have very different interests. Most of the topics researched by social psychologists involve how a person is influenced by other people or how/what people think about other people and social situations. This includes (but is not limited to):
Comformity, Compliance, Obedience, Persuasion
Social facilitation (how other people change your performance)
Teacher-student interaction, Doctor-patient interaction
Social learning (vicarious, emmulation)
Managing Expectations
Cognitive Dissonance (backwards reasoning)
Attribution (why we think others do things)
Self-esteem, self-handicapping
Happiness and positive psychology
How people cope with rejection, bad news...
Stereotypes, prejudice
Legal psychology (how jurors make decisions, etc.)
Health psychology (and barriers that prevent people from getting help)
Environmental psychology
Dating and relationships
Family dynamics
Group think, risky shift (people doing riskier things in groups), herding behavior
I could go on...
Social psychology crosses with but is different from Sociology mainly in that Social Psychology focuses on a person and other people influence them or what they think about others, etc. Sociology tends to focus on the level of society, societal forces and the like.
Is psychodynamic reductionist or determinist?
Psychodynamic theory is often considered determinist because it posits that human behavior is largely driven by unconscious processes and early childhood experiences, suggesting that individuals have limited control over their actions. However, it is not strictly reductionist, as it does not reduce human behavior solely to biological or environmental factors; instead, it emphasizes the complexity of mental processes and the influence of internal conflicts. Thus, while it embodies elements of determinism, it also acknowledges a multifaceted view of human psychology.
What is the psychology of selling?
There are many considerations to take when selling a product or service. Some of them are mental while others may be physical. In this essay I will discuss the different types of steps that can be taken to make sure the customers' needs are met and the sale is closed.
When selling a product or service, connecting with the customer is one of the most important steps to take if you want to make sure the transaction is completed. To connect with the customer one must find a need that the customer needs filled (whether the customer knows they have the need or not) and make sure you have the means to fill that need. For you to be able to convince the customer you have the ability to fill a need they have you most act in a manner that lets them know that you know what you are talking about. A salesperson without knowledge is worse than no salesperson because the potential customer is only having their time wasted and will be less responsive to future buying opportunities.
For example: A man comes to the door of the house you are selling at. He seems uninterested and says he already has candles that he has bought from the local supermarket. You know that candles at the local supermarket cost less but you believe you candles are worth more than the store candles. Although he appears uninterested you still remain vibrant and cheerful and tell him about the different kinds of candles available. You are knowledgeable about the different scents of your candles so you mention several of them. In addition you also have several samples so he has the ability to smell what his product would smell like if he were to buy it. The cologne scented candle seems to spike his interest but he still seems unsure about whether to buy. You quickly mention that Mother's Day is coming up and he realizes he needs to buy something for his wife and mother. Not only does he recognize he has a need but he now also has a want. He decides to but not only the cologne scented candle but also two others- one for his wife and one for his mother.
In the example above the man appeared uninterested at first glance. The instinct of most people is- this person wants my money so I need to push away. As a sales person you know that this is not always the case! Many people have a truly wonderful product that you know can help your customer. The key is to making sure you get past the "push-back stage". This is a part that many great salespersons fail. At first a potential customer might push back by saying that they do not need or want product. You must lead them into a position where they are willing to listen to what you have to tell them about what you are selling. Show respect for them and they will show respect for you. Talk kindly to the customer and don't hassle them into buying a product. Ask them how their day has been. Don't bore them with too much conversation but talk in a way that lets you know you are their friend. They will be more open to listen to what you have to say and sell if they don't feel pushed or hassled into making a decision.
Everyone has the potential to seal a sale. However, not many people have the right strategies or knowledge to make it happen. Remember to connect with the customer. Find a need that they need filled- whether or not the customer knows they have it when you first meet them. Have plenty of know-how about your product. Knowledge is a key part of completing a sale. Lastly one must show respect for the customer. If someone feels like they aren't being cared for they will turn you away because they won't want to be around you. If you act in a kind and respectful manner, they will be much more likely to listen to what you have to say and the likelihood of a completed transaction is greatly increased. By following these steps you not only can increase the amount you sell, you also increase the quality of the relationship between you and the customer and the happiness of the customer.

Does it matter if you get an AA degree in nursing vs a BSN?
The pay and opportunity will be greater with a bachelors degree in nursing, since you would be an RN rather than a LPN.
^^ YOU ARE NOT AN LPN IF YOU GET YOUR ASSOCIATES RN DEGREE!! you are still an RN, the only difference being that an associated RN went to school for two years and a BSRN went to school for 4. All the nursing classes are the same, you still learn the same material and you still take the exact same exam (NCLEX). You just don't take all the general education requirements that are required at a 4 year college.
What is the best accreditation for schools of psychology?
A regional accreditation is critical when searching for a college that is recognized as valid and legitimate no matter what the major program of study is.
The following six agencies are recognized as being legitimate:

Accredits schools in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont, Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.
Accredits schools in Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Navajo Nation, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
Middle States Association of Schools and Colleges (MSA)Accredits schools in Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Central America, Europe, and the Middle East.
Southern Association of Schools and Colleges (SACS)Accredits schools in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and Latin America.

If you earn a degree from an online or on-campus school that is accredited by one of these associations, you can be assured that it will be valid. Most employers will automatically accept your degree. If you are pursing a degree in an academic subject and the school of your choice is not accredited by one of these institutions, you may want to consider switching schools.

Misogyny is a complex issue rooted in beliefs about gender roles, power dynamics, and socialization. It often stems from a deep-seated sense of entitlement, fear, or insecurity that is projected onto women. Misogynists may hold distorted views about women's worth, abilities, and roles in society, leading to discriminatory behavior and attitudes. Therapy and education can help challenge and unlearn these harmful beliefs.
It's an integrative field involving knowledge of just about all areas in psychology.
