So is this arousal or avoidance procrastination? (just a little psychology joke )

What specifically is the first assignment, and how does it fit into the syllabus? if it is the foundation for which the remainder of the projects culminate into a reserch paper, I STRONGLY suggest you do it on something you are passionate about.

What do you do for a living? can you relate it to a work experience? SOCIAL psych....

And your written assignment was:
Answer all questions.

Explain how variables such as social interactions, cognitive processes, environmental variables, cultural context, and biological factors shape what social psychology is all about and how it is practiced.


Choose one of the "cutting edge" issues discussed in the text, and explain its significance in modern social psychology.


Read the advice columns in several newspapers or magazines. Choose 3 to 5 situations that you personally found interesting. Why do you think the actors or observers in these situations behaved the way they did? In your answer, consider consensus, consistency, and the distinctiveness of the person's reactions.

Is this correct or are you doing the DIAL course?

YES!!!!! This is the one.........I am doing online.
