Question 1

repression

Answer 1

• Repressed memories were a cornerstone of Freud’s psychoanalytic framework. He believed
  that people repressed memories that were too difficult to confront, particularly traumatic memories,
  and expelled them from conscious thought. This idea launched an enduring controversy in the field
  of psychology.

Question 2

regression

Answer 2

• When something happens and someone regresses. Example is when someone is a really
  good child and then a new baby is born and he’s going back. Instead of doing the things he has
  learned, he started to poop his pants again, want to breast feed again, and act like a toddler or baby
  again. When someone goes backwards in a stage of life instead of forwards.
• some of this is even seen in us in college. Especially around finals; that high stress time
  causes use to regress back in the stage of life.

Question 3

identification

Answer 3

• (Stockholm syndrome) In this stage people identify with people they are scared of. Somehow,
  and sometimes people will identify with the mean girl instead of going against them. There will
  always be a clique, they may hate the mean person but think that as long as they do what they are
  told they will be liked. In the end this doesn’t always go well.

Question 4

reaction format

Answer 4

• sometimes you want something so much, but you can’t admit it. Sometimes with a crush
  where instead of admitting it they may be mean to each other. instead of saying what they feel they say the opposite. Sometimes people may be so anti-gay that they start to appear like they are a gay person or fit under the LGBTQ+ environment. Or its someone who makes a huge deal about this and makes it seem like they are a part of this.
• sometimes when someone says they love something so much they may not actually
  love it. Also when people always say they hate something so much they may actually like it.

Question 5

displacement

Answer 5

• Boss yells at man and he cannot yell back, so man then goes home and yells at wife who
  doesn’t feel she can yell back, then goes to son who doesn’t feel he can yell back then goes and
  yells at his pet.
• often we feel we can’t yell at people so we bottle it up, then the minute we get with
  a comfort person like our mom we then start yelling at her for no reason and this is displacement.

Question 6

sublimation

Answer 6

• something that makes us uncomfortable that we don’t want to act or or do anything about.
  Having and urge that we personally are uncomfortable about.
  study it, research it, put it into daily activities, and sports. Take the uncomfortable urges.
• usually considered a healthy and mature way of dealing with urges that may be undesirable
  or unacceptable. Rather than act out in ways that could cause us or others harm, sublimation allows
  us to channel that energy into things that are beneficial
• Sublimation is a defense mechanism that involves channeling unwanted or unacceptable
  urges into an admissible or productive outlet. For example, a woman who recently went through a
  breakup may channel her emotions into a home improvement project.
  - she wants us to focus on this.

Question 7

the primacy of same-sex parents

Answer 7

they begin to change and only identify with certain things. Men wont identify with girls things and won’t even go down an aisle associated with girls. They always have to
be only ‘boys’. Girls don’t do it as much and frued says it is because they aren’t as comfortable with
themselves.

Question 8

oedipal complex

Answer 8

where mates want to have sex with their mom. He does not think
parents should have sex with their parents, but that children want to. So children should
find a substitute for their parents to then have sex with that similar person.

Question 9

electra complex

Answer 9

where females want to have sex with their dads or brothers. Wanting
to be in love with their dad and want to kill their mothers. (Shows that the people that
have a love hate relationship with their mother is because they believe when they find
out they don’t have a penis that their own mothers took it from them, and want to kill
their mothers). Then turn to father who has a penis to have sex with them so that they
can temporarily have a penis. Then hopefully have a child who they can then steal their
penis from. (He says that is why women knit and crochet, its a way of trying to hid a fact
that they don’t have a penis)

Question 10

oral stage

Answer 10

we all start out at this stage. Most babies suckling on breasts for breast milk, or on
bottles for milk. Doesn’t mean sex, but Freud says they are getting sexual pleasure through their
oral cavity. They suck on things even when there is no food involved.
‣ Babies get a lot of sensory information form this and learn. The sucking of a pacifier
when with a younger baby of child who is upset sucking on this it physically clams them
down. (The reverse of sexual stimulation) Freud is wrong in so many ways he believes.

Question 11

anal stage

Answer 11

around 12-36 months (toddlerhood). At this age kids are obsessed with all things pee
and poop. Love butt and fart humor. They are also obsessed with bloggers and snot.
‣ Freud would say that those of us who are organized when younger in this stage would
hold in our poop and not want to share it until it became so big that it was a “poop
gasm”. The other set will poop whenever or pee whenever and could do it on command.
some will become artists later because they enjoy sharing their matters with them and
playing with it, this can be true.

Question 12

phallic stage

Answer 12

where he says gender starts to separate, and where boys will purposely go outside
to pee, pee in liter boxes, and do crazy things. He says they don’t do it out of convenience but to

will see them trying to seduce their mothers and that their fathers will try to castrate them
(castrations anxiety)

Question 16

for some people what are ID, Superego, and Ego

Answer 16

Question 20

thanatos

Answer 20

the death instinct. He shows the idea that we do some things that drive us closer to
death.
- risky things like smoking, drunk driving, alcohol, driving too fast or slow, tanning beds,
driving drunk, unprotected sex, bring you closer to death. We have this and it is an instinct because
it’s the only way we will be in a state without any needs; dead. There is no moment where we are
perfect and don’t need nothing, the only way we can be perfectly at peace is death.

Question 21

brofenbrenner’s model

Answer 21

‣ Chronosystem: patterning of environmental events and transitions over the life course;
sociohistorical conditions
‣ Time: sociohistorical conditions ad time since life events
◦Gave a system for understanding the ways that different people and researchers see human development.

Question 22

steps of Brofenbrenner’s

Answer 22

‣ Think about age, health, gender, etc, in an individual
‣ Then think of the microsystem: family, health services, school, peers, church group,
neighborhood play area. Things you may see every day or on a regular basis
* If something is not on a regular basis it may not be part of the microsystem. if it is
this scenario it may more likely be your microsystem
‣ Then think of your mesosystem: relationships between the things in the microsystem
and the exosystem. Interactions between parents/guardian with teachers, relationship
parents have with each other or relationship of a parent with a child’s friends parents.
‣ Then think of your exosystem: These are less direct and are things that are in relation
with the mesosystem. Friends of family, neighbors, mass media, social welfare services,
legal services. Things out there that kinda influence you but aren’t very important to daily
life.
‣ Then think of your macrosystem: The attitudes and ideologies of the culture. Things that
are not common in all parts of the world.

Question 23

continuity versus discontinuity

Answer 23

◦Continuity - we get older, we get taller, we become more of what we are, we change in
weight, we change in verbal development
◦Discontinuity - things like cognitive development (brain shifts in the way you think; may not
be more of something but a different stage shift where the brain does something different.
Not always learning more, but learning in a different way) Ex: addition is hard but then
learning the concept of subtraction. Puberty: disrupts everything and changes so much

Question 24

Robert Plomin

Answer 24

◦Age, race, gender, family income, what school you go to, where you live.
‣ This is the shared environment in families.
◦What really makes sense are the non-shared environments in families

individual is a good athlete, but the older sibling is an even better athlete. the small
differences do better at showing who we are.
