Analysis: Does Attitude Predict Behavior
The topic that I am choosing for this journal is, “Does Attitude Predict Behavior”? I am happy that research says that it in fact does not because from my own personal experience I know that person can feel one way and act another. My example for this journal is one of my friends. I recently discovered that my friend Tia does not like me. My second example will be my attitude and behavior as it regards the situation with my friend Tia.
This sounds very childlike but let me explain the story. Tia and I have been friends for a few months now and a few days ago she decided to stop being friends with me and telling our mutual friends behind my back that we never was actually friends at all. I also found out that she is dating an ex boyfriend of

    Psy 475 Attitude Survey Paper

    The scoring of the survey will also be relatively simple. A five point scale, with numerical values will be issued. The assigned values will be as follows; -2 for strongly disagree, -1 for disagree, 0 for unsure, +1 for agree, and +2 for strongly agree. Once the surveys are scored the totals will be correlated. A respondent with a 0 score or mostly middle responses will be concluded as neutral or no opinion. A respondent with high scores would be seen as having favorable attitudes toward adolescents and their role in sustaining the environment. A respondent that had low scores would be seen as having a negative attitude about adolescents taking responsibility for the environment.

    Summary: Close Relationships Sometimes Mask Poor Communication

    She and I share a mutual friend and we are all Facebook friends. I noticed one date that our mutual friend removed me as a friend from her Facebook account. I called Brandi and said sarcastically with a slight giggle in my voice, “I see your girl removed me as her friend on Facebook.” “I wonder why, I have not done anything to her.” “Do you know why she removed me?” Brandi responded that she does not talk about me behind my back so she does not know why she did that. We talk for a few more minutes and then we got off the phone. Brandi and I speak every day and sometimes three or four times a day. I phoned her the next morning on my way to work like I normally do and she did not answer. I called her later on that evening and again no answer. This went on for three days. I then texted her saying hi and give me a call when she got a chance and she responded “alright” but she never called. I am now thinking to myself that she is never this busy something must be wrong. I texted her again saying “I have called and texted you for the last three days and I have not heard from you is something wrong?” Brandi responded, “I was offended by your phone call on the other day. You are my best friend I would not dare talk about you behind my back. I responded, “you misunderstood my phone call please call me so that I can explain.” Brandi called and I explained to her that I was joking when I called about…

    Personal Narrative: A Story Of Anne's Guilt

    After almost a week, she knew and we talked about it. The feeling was mutual but it didn't really last long until I found out that someone was courting her. The moment I knew that they are already couples, I told her that “I hope we didn't become friends" and after saying that we treated each other like we didn't exist until next grade. In grade 9 I was the one who approaches her first, but she didn't respond. But one night she texted me, she's saying sorry to me, telling that they broke up and wants me again to be her close friends like we used to be. At first, I didn't really care but, in the end, I still forgave her. Months passed our friendship became stronger until one day the same problem happened again. In that day I felt like no one to her, she would only text me or talked to me when she's bored or no one is talking to her. Sometimes I also asked myself does our friendship worth it, or sometimes I feel like she didn't really deserve to be forgiven, but still she was important to…

    Social Influences On Behavior Paper

    Being able to socialize and interacting is all a part of being a human. We have the desire to interact with other humans who are different. Some people might want to find friends, gain perspective, or to explore different thoughts and ideas. At times humans will go out their way just to fit in with other people because they don’t want to be left out. I think that some people will change their behavior just to fit in a crowed. I don’t see nothing wrong with anyone trying to fit in with their surroundings. The bad part about this situation is you’re not showing who you really are.

    Non Confrontational Attitude Analysis

    One of Bbiggest stumbling blocks in my life was the fatfact that I really do think and feel so differently from the average person. Some people wear their emotions and heart so well that it is clear as to what they are feeling and what it is that has such an effect on them. Now as for me , someone would hurt me and they would never know it. But in my mind I got angry at them fought over it and then got over it, and the person never even knew what happened. Then when it would happen again, I would get mad. Finally I realized that it is not fair to hold someone accountable when I did not take the step in communicating my state to them. My non confrontationalnon-confrontational attitude had to be addressed to find a way to tell someone…
