The author, a third-year medical school student, talks about her mother's treatment for cancer. As her mother moved through the phases of her treatment, she struggled to reconcile what she should know as a family member with what she needed to know as a medical student. She was far enough along in her training to be familiar with all the heavy, often daunting, details of diseases and their treatments but not far enough along to know how to handle the weight of this knowledge. The author had already known the importance of understanding the chief complaint and the history of present illness. Through her mother's cancer journey, however, she has seen how much more there is to a patient's story. As she prepares for her third-year clinical rotations, her mother's cancer journey and its lessons for her have come just in time. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2018 APA, all rights reserved).

Bystander Effect

The discussion of bullying highlights the problem of witnesses not intervening to help a victim. This is a common occurrence, as the following well-publicized event demonstrates. In 1964, in Queens, New York, a 19-year-old woman named Kitty Genovese was attacked by a person with a knife near the back entrance to her apartment building and again in the hallway inside her apartment building. When the attack occurred, she screamed for help numerous times and eventually died from her stab wounds.

Naturalistic Observations

If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

Social Scripts02:10

Social Scripts

People tend to know what behavior is expected of them in specific, familiar settings. A script is a person’s knowledge about the sequence of events expected in a specific setting (Schank & Abelson, 1977). Essentially, scripts are a particular kind of schema, one containing default values for the features within an event. In the restaurant example, the script's features include the props (e.g., tables, menu, food, and money), the roles to be played (e.g., customer and waiter),...

Routes of Persuasion

Persuasion is the process of changing our attitude toward something based on some kind of communication. Much of the persuasion we experience comes from outside forces.
