Helen took an Implicit Association Test (IAT) to examine her own potential unconscious biases. While she believed she did not consciously prefer any racial or sexual orientation groups, the IAT results suggested she had an unconscious preference for white people and heterosexuals. Helen acknowledges social influences and her own identity could have unconsciously impacted her categorization speed on the test, revealing biases of which she was previously unaware. The IAT provided valuable insight into her subconscious biases that she did not identify through self-reflection alone.

Setting Up Your Research
Respond to the following exercises from Chapter One of The Literature Review in 150 to 200 words each. For the Additional Question, record the research and null hypotheses for your project.
· Exercise 1.1: Discovering the Subject of Your Interest or Issue of Inquiry
1. What is your personal interest or issue? My personal interest is serial killers and/or mass murderers. I have been attracted in this specific topic for just about 10 years. I come from a law enforcement family where my mother, father, and brother were all police officers. I picked up my first Charles Manson book and read it from cover to cover and as of that point on I was infatuated not only on Charlie Manson, but serial killers over-all. I have also read other books pertaining to serial killers by Jeff Lindsay I would rather read about persons who have a mental illness and how it can be part of the cause to their overall being, as per their psych E. My issue with this topic is not a lot of people reveal the same desire I do about serial killers. In fact, most find it alarming that the only books that I get into depth are those with mystery, suspense, serial killers or mass murderers. I highlight in my books and make logs. I have always had bit of interest with this certain subject matter, but again the issue with it is the only category I read. Individuals have a tendency to get a bit startled and think that I may become a sociopath. In addition, my other concern is I do not know how schizophrenia has portrayed a part with serial killers.
2. What are the component parts of the interest? A few of the components of interest in regards to schizophrenia and serial killers (topic) consist of what factors inspire or have an effect on one to mass kill even though they have a mental illness either diagnosed or undiagnosed. An additional component part to the topic of interest is also illegal substances. Why do a lot of serial killers who know they have a mental illness do psychedelic drugs? Could this lead to psychosis in the individual? What are the influences of mental illness, drugs, and serial killers?
3. Why did you become curious about this question? I became curious about these questions as I was looking into the topic. I became more interested after doing more research about schizophrenics. Both sides of my family unit haves mental illness, but not a single person that I know of that has schizophrenic. Through efficient research, persons that are at this time diagnosed with schizophrenia can be kept at bay with medication, but does not halt the serial killer possibly from being infuriated inside. Comment by Deirdre Teaford: Not sure what that means.

Disability, Hysteria, and Environmental IllnessMy rank as a .docxsalmonpybus
"Disability, Hysteria, and Environmental Illness"
My rank as a Disability Target is a new concept to me. Prior to March of 2018 I was considered perfectly healthy with no disabilities. From November 2017 through February of 2018, I had a cold that persisted for months. I was congested, coughing all the time and having issues falling asleep because I couldn’t breathe while laying down. At first the doctors gave me cold remedies and antibiotics, treating the condition as a severe cold. After a few months, I was sent to an allergist and I was told I have asthma and am allergic to most of the trees in Washington. My skin even reacted to the saline they used as the control for the test. They then had to perform a different, very painful test to be sure the first diagnosis was accurate because I reacted to saline control. In lieu of my recent transition into being a Disability Target, I decided that “Disability, Hysteria, and Environmental Illness”, was the perfect topic to discuss.
I had a hard time accepting this news. I am an athlete, I play the trombone, and I love climbing trees. How is this possible? I’ve never had problems with my lungs or issues around trees. My entire life up until that diagnosis, I had held Agent Rank in the category Disability. I always thought that asthma was a thing people got if they didn’t go outside or get enough exercise. I believed that if they exerted themselves more, then their lungs would get stronger. When we were kids, my friends and I wouldn’t pick the kid in the neighborhood with the inhaler to be on our team because we wanted to win. I can’t even remember his name. In fact, my first thought when the doctor told me I had asthma was, ‘What? I am not nerdy like… whatever his name!’. I even argued with her about my allergy to the trees in Washington because I had spent the last ten years in Alaska around the same tress and never had a problem. Before being diagnosed, while still a Disability Agent, I was an antagonist. My contribution to oppression was Ableism, using the Agent skills of indifference and distancing to ignore and separate myself from people I didn’t view as equal to me. After being diagnosed, I used the Target skills of Survival and Confusion when questioning medical tests that clearly indicated that I have a disability. As Nieto states, “Confusion skills are a response to the stress caused by oppression and the simultaneous denial that exists.” (p. 155) It became clear to me that I was in denial as an Agent and may still be in denial as a Target.
In an unintentional position of power and control, I used minimizing, denying and blaming to oppress that kid in the neighborhood with asthma. I have always thought of myself as a good person, yet how could I think that way without thinking about the impact my actions had on that kid. Now that I am on the other side, I understand it more. It’s hard to describe what it feels like to try to take a breath but not be able to. Your chest even moves up an.

Recognizing, Analyzing, and Constructing Arguments are when we start with a position statement rather than with an open-ended question that invites exploration and analysis of an issue. To begin to analyze an argument what we need to do is identify its premises and conclusion. Identify those arguments that you find within an academic paper, and analyze those arguments.

Allport states that the newborn does not have a personality because they haven't experienced the world yet. There are eight stages of development. The first stage is called bodily sense, this is were infants become aware of their body. The second stage is self identity, this stage begins in the second year of life. This is where the child develop their self identity. They begin to recognize their self, and they know their name. The third stage is the ego enhancement, this stage begins at the age of two and three. This is where the child works on his or her self-esteem. Then the fourth stage is called the ego extension. This stage is between the ages of three and four. They develop the possession over their personal things. The fifth stage is self image, this begins at the age of four and five. They begin to know their abilities. The sixth stage is rational agent, the age begins at six to twelve years old. They are able to solve problems. Then the seventh stage is propriate striving, this is the adolescence age . They begin to put their life together. The individual knows what they want to do in their life. The eighth stage is the knower, this stage begins at adulthood.

After some researchers didn't have that in their research but Allport didn't leave that out in his research. German philosophers windeland and stem, allport distinguished individual traits that were called unique traits, which are possessed by only one person, from common traits. Which are possessed by many people each to a varying extent. He intended to distinguish the study of persons on the one hand and the study of person variables that is variables with respect to which person have been differentiated from the other. So to answer the question yes, people can be described by the same trait as you can see Mr. Allport have found that many people have common traits.

Allport's theory that religion can be used to be either self-serving or to develop a genuine love for others really struck me, especially from the perspective of being self-serving. It made me think about those who use religion as an extreme - the radicalized Islamists who use religion as a basis for violence or terrorism instead of the peaceful tendencies that Islam was meant to portray. Or cases of religious cults where leaders like David Koresh used religion as power over others for his own benefit, not for the benefit of society or as genuine love for others. It just shows that a person can use religion one way or another to either benefit others or ma ...

1. I think that we are oblivious to our unconsciously motivated behavior. I know that
I am not biased towards one group or another, but subconsciously I prefer one
over, which could be a result of social influences such as the media. I don’t think
it is a convenient excuse to justify people’s biases. Black people took the IAT
survey, having no preferences towards the black or white race, yet the result
suggested that they were more biased towards white people, which I believe is a
subconscious act.
2. a. The results did not quite meet my expectations; I don’t have a bias for
heterosexuals over homosexuals. I am pretty sure of it, but the result suggests that I
have a preference towards straight people. I expected my result to be balanced, not
preferring one over the other. But I know that I’m straight, so that could’ve effected
how quickly I categorized the groups. A theory that is applicable to my experience is
the pragmatic theory. To find out if my subconscious was biased, I took the IAT test
instead of pondering it for a long time. After I took the test I found out that my
subconscious is biased.
