Adler: Birth Order Assignment

Alfred Adler, one of Freud's contemporaries, focused on the effects of social interaction as the basis for the formation of the unconscious mind. As a result he became interested in the topic of birth order and the affect it has on one's personality. Read the following article from Time magazine and answer the following questions.

Click here for a word doc version.

Time: The Power of Birth Order

Response:
1) List your birth order (ex. first born, 2 of 4, baby...etc)
2) Based on your birth order what characteristics are associated with your personality?
3) How accurate do you think the research is regarding birth order? Explain?

Reveiw on theories of Emotion

To give you one more presentation of the three theories on emotion, below is a lecture from another AP psych teacher, Mrs. Rice. It is short and to the point. Also attached are my notes on this unit.

Motivation in Advertising

Our current unit on emotion and motivation presents a lot of concepts that are important to advertisers in the business world. I recently came across this diagram about colors used in marketing and the message it might send about the product.

Do you think certain colors are related to certain emotions? Do you associate these feelings with the products and brands that are presented. Are there other examples of companies you like based on the colors of their logo?
