  1. I agree with most of the other replies.

    GPA, GRE scores, the rank of school where you got your degree(s), letters of rec., research and/or clinical experience.

    are all important. In that approximate order of preference listed.

     

    alright cool, thanks :)

     

    however, Im disappointed that I will not get 2 separate degrees.

    but on the diploma it would say: "BS in Psychology" and under that "BS in Sociology" ?

  2. I'm not aware of the connection that bigger brains = good.

     

    Is there a correlation between brain size in humans and intelligence?

     

    I dont think there is a correlation - maybe a small one - but there would be a certain limit to brain size.

    I remember watching a program and it mentioned this, that if our brains were larger, it would not increase intelligence, as the neurons would take longer to reach their destination.

  3. Letters of recommendation are important, as is research experience. Again, research may not be as important if you are going to grad school in Psych. Why don't you call around to some grad schools and ask what is important for their admission criteria?

     

     

    ah true, forgot about those!

    but then again, Im not too worried about those just yet - as I have plenty of time for research (which I will do Junior year) and recommendations.

     

    and the degree would be relevant, because I plan on going into Social or IO Psych. - but even if it wont bolster my chances, I still think I'll go for it.

     

    In anycase, thanks for your input - I just wanted to see if 2 majors would help, more than someone with just 1. :)

  4. Is it?

    Currently Im majoring in Psychology with a minor in Sociology.

    I was thinking however, getting a major in Sociology as well would be beneficiary - although it may take an extra semester. (Currently Im a 1st semester Sophomore).

     

    Just wondering what you thought.

    I'll probably go through with it, but as far as grad school is concerned, will it help a lot?

     

    for example, if it was between me and someone else, and it looked like this:

    Kid - Major in Psych, minor in Soc. 3.8gpa.

    Me: Major in Psych and Soc. 3.2gpa

     

    Still think they would take me over the other guy (even though he has a higher gpa)?

     

    thanks :)

  5. Hi Mag,

     

    You might try some of the following terms:

     

    Infidelity

    Cuckold (and cuckoldry)

    Non delicto flagrante

    Adultery

     

    Here are a list of references from google scholar

     

    Good luck on the paper. :)

     

     

     

     

    Hello, thank you, I'll use those terms. I found "infidelity" as well because I found an article with that name in the title, lol.

     

    and you reminded me about google scholar, thanks for that too!

     

    :)

  6. Hello there.

    Im writing a paper for my Psychology of Sexuality class, about Extradyadic sex.

    Ive found 2 sources, but I need at least 2 more.

    Im looking for psychology journals.

     

    I have the ability to search through a database of journals, but I cant seem to find articles Im looking for. and when I do type in "Extradyadic" or "Extramarital"

    I'll get a few things that arent related to what Im going to write about.

     

    Im writing about why women and men may become involved in extramarital affairs.

     

    I need some search ideas.

     

    Also, if I could find some information on "Key Parties" or a "Key Party" that would be good too - because Im going to mention that as well.

     

    thanks

  7. That's interesting. So the cut-off age for forced education is 16? Here in the states it's 18 or graduation from High School.

     

    not true.

    It varies by state.

     

    here in AZ, at 16 you have the choice to continue HS or dropout.

    other states have required 18/High School Graduate (or equivalent)

  8. let alone 'Jewish warriors' to Christians and Muslims isn't on the same scale.

     

    I was thinking just that.

    the number of Extremist Christians or Muslims probably outnumber ALL of the Jews (whether they be very religious to holiday-religious).

     

     

     

    I dunno, on the one hand I agree, Jews are a tiny group compared with Christians or Muslims. On the other hand, they have played a disproportionately large role in religious conflict.

     

    Also, for what it's worth "Jews, Christians, and Muslims" is sometimes used not as a list of three things but as one group, i.e. the Abrahamic religions.

     

    this is also true, and I've found this amazing. While those who follow Judiasm (on any scale) only number in the few millions, and comes out to only 2% (or so) of the entire world - it still seems to be a "mainstream" religion (i.e everyone knows about it)

    Then again, I also think that the Holocaust played a big role in that.

     

    well, enough ramblings from me. lol

  9. Hahah, some of those are pretty bad.

    I dont have one to match it, but I saw something a few years ago that was fairly stupid - had to do with what this guy said.

     

    We were at a buffet - Sweet Tomatoes - and I was at the bakery area, with all the muffins, brownies, cookies, etc.

    Anyways, there's this kid and his dad standing next to me and the kid says to his dad "is this cornbread?" - and the dad replies "no, those are corn muffins"

     

    lol- big difference!
