Ap Psychology Personal Statement

837 Words4 Pages

I am studying a Psychology degree and this field I have chosen really interests me because I have a passion for helping people. Generally, I am that type of person to put other's happiness and well-being before my own, because it makes me feel like I have a sense of purpose. Also, since I was a little girl I have always been so fascinated with the way people interact, behave, think and feel. I always asked 'why?' and I still do to this very day. No one person is the same as another, we all interact, behave, think and feel differently, and I think this is what amazes me the most. One strength that is substantive to my career that I believe I have, is empathy. I have always had such an efficacious sense of empathy with the people around me. …show more content…

I am always looking at the colourful side of life and I believe a lot of people are missing that spark in modern society. Almost everybody is diagnosed with depression at some point in their life these days. I believe in spreading positivity to every person I meet. As a psychologist, this will be a great implement, using positive psychology techniques with my …show more content…

One strength that I described earlier, compassion, could be an influential factor leading to burnout in my prospective career as a Psychologist. If in a highly stressful situation with a client, too much compassion or empathy regarding the situation may cause me to care too much for my client and forget my own self-care. If I were to have a patient who has experienced domestic violence, I believe it could cause me to become too emotionally invested in the patient, or cause myself to experience burnout or vicarious trauma. This is because I have previously been in a relationship with domestic violence. However, to be able to successfully help the people I am working with, which is my goal, I must be able to control my own emotions and not let them overwhelm me and possibly cause burnout or vicarious trauma. Some simple ways of doing this may in include: Exercising regularly, such as running which I enjoy; avoid eating junk food and replace it with healthier eating habits, also avoid the use of caffeine (which I regularly enjoy); get into a sleeping routine and practice getting a good night's sleep. Lastly, laughter is the best cure for stress, so developing a sense of humour to alleviate the stress would be a fantastic coping

Ap Psychology Chapter 8

After reading this week’s chapters from our textbook, one interesting topic that was discussed in chapter five was classifying instructional objectives. When a teacher wants to design objectives, it is important that they use three domains and they are the cognitive domain, affective domain, and psychomotor domain. The cognitive domain involves mental operations from the lowest level of the simple recall of information to complex, high-level evaluative process (Carjuzaa & Kellough, 2017, pg. 136). The affective domain involves feelings, attitudes, and values and ranges from the lower levels of acquisition to the highest level of internalization and action (Carjuzaa & Kellough, 2017, pg. 136).
