College Psych Series: Homework #2

Well this is my second homework assignment for Psych Class. I don't think I've mentioned the actual course, but I'm taking Psychology 180.

The questionnaire my professor assigned comes from the University of Pennsylvania. It's on Authentic Happiness. This is the site if anyone is interested. https://www.authentichappiness.sas.upenn.edu/

You need to create a login in order to do the questionnaires. All it is, is just a simple email & password, no other credentials needed.

So moving on, my professor assigned a questionnaire on close relationships. And here are my results from that. And once again these are the reflection questions too.

1) Do you Agree with the results, explain your reasoning?
2) What do you think about the Test itself?
3) How could you apply this information in your life?




1. Reviewing the results from this questionnaire, I somewhat agree with its results. In part its because I haven’t spent much time in finding a partner or interacting to build a close relationship. More than that, I’ve also focused more of my attention towards my job and other activities to keep myself busy. I fall under the fearful category, there are quite a number of reasons why, I’d be fearful of a close relationship a notable one is I’ve lived with divorced parents and that did leave a subtle impact on me.

2. As for what I think about the test itself, I felt I couldn’t really answer a majority of the questions as, it felt like this was directed at my current relationship status. Being Single for a while, I honestly felt most questions didn’t really apply, and answered neutrally, neither disagree or agree to a particular question.

3. As to how I could apply this information to my life, I think socially interacting with more people and giving meaning to these interactions would help me. As of late, I have the mindset that since I’m working odd and inconsistent hours, I don’t have the time to look for a partner. I know there are things I can do to better myself and my situation, but I guess that’s where taking a step forward in that direction is the barrier I set on myself. Well, I’m working on it. I dream of a romantic & loving relationship, I just need to get past my fears and concentrate on the meaningful things. Communicate with others and actively spend time building meaningful relationships, adding it to my daily life. For years now, I’ve just focused on the whole get out of debt, then get into a relationship, because you won’t be happy unless your financially stable. This is a mindset I’m working on changing.

----------------
I know this is pretty personal stuff to put out, but at the same time I find this therapeutic. My class has a lot of content and the lectures do leave an impression on me. I figured if anyone else plans on taking a Psychology 180 course, my homework could also help you pass your class. What's more it is moronic to plagiarize my work, because each answer is tailored to a person's experience.

If you've reached this far, Thank you for passing by and I wish you guys the best!
