5490952387What happens in Interphase?Longest part of the cell cycle Chromosomes *copied*, appear as *threadlike* coils at the start, then each chromosome and its copy *change to sister chromatids* at the end of phase24
5490952382What happens in Prophase?Nuclear membrane disappears / Chromatin condenses and thickens into chromosomes / Spindle fibers appear25
5490952386What happens in MetaphaseChromosomes line up along the equator in the middle of the cell26
5490952383What happens in Anaphase?The spindle fibers pull the chromatids apart and pull them to opposite poles. This gives rise to daughter chromosomes27
5490952384What happens in Telophase?Nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes / Spindle fibers disappear / Chromosomes return to there original, uncondensed chromatin form28

6359355589Anal stageAge: 1-3 Erogenous Zone: Anus Task: Potty Training Fixation: Anal retentive or Anal Expulsive10
6359355590Latency stageAge: 6 to puberty Erogenous Zone: None Task: develop relationships with same sex peers to strengthen gender identity Fixation: doesn't occur at this stage11
6359355591Phallic stageAge: 3-5 Erogenous Zone: Genitals Task: Gender Identity Fixation: Narcissism, Homosexuality12
6359355592Genital stageAge: Puberty to death Erogenous Zone: Genitals Task: Find a hetero-sexual relationship Fixation: doesn't occur at this stage but old conflicts will arise13
6359355593Penis EnvyFreudian theory that girls become upset and scarred because because they don't have a penis and a penis is a key to being successful. Phallic Stage14
6359355594Electra Complexgirls sexually desire dad and hate mom but need to resolve this in order to develop a gender identity Phallic Stage of Psycho-sexual Development15
6359355595Oedipus Complexboys sexually desire mom and hate dad but need to resolve this in order to develop a gender identity Phallic Stage of Psycho-sexual Development16
6359355596Defense mechanisms- extreme measures protect the ego from threats; operate unconsciously and deny, falsify, or distinct reality - not successful coping strategies because they do not remove stressors17
6359355597Neo-FreudiansJung, Horney, Adler Believed that Freud put too much emphasis on sex and there needed to be more emphasis on social factors18
6359355598Collective unconsciousPsychologist: Carl Jung Defined: A warehouse of "instinctive memories" passed down to each generation and all humans share and is made up of archetypes19
6359355599ArchetypesDefined: Inherited universal concepts that create the Collective Unconscious Examples: Anima v. Animus, Mother v. Father, Persona v. Shadow, Hero v. Villain20
6359355600Basic AnxietyPsychologist: Karen Horney anxiety that is created by being born helpless. Most overcome this, those who don't develop neurotic personalities- aggressive, compliant, or withdrawn21
6359355601Womb envyPsychologist: Karen Horney Defined: women do not suffer from "penis envy" but are envious of male's superior status. Men are envious of a women's ability to have children and therefore, they compensate with other forms of achievement.22
6359355602Inferiority ComplexPsychologist: Alfred Adler Defined: people who compensate for feelings of inferiority (feeling like they're less than other people, not as good as others, worthless, etc.) by acting ways that make them appear superior.23
6359355603Projective TestsDescription: Provide ambiguous stimuli in order to trigger the projection of one's inner dynamics Strengths: Provide lots of information Weaknesses: highly subjective and has low reliability Tests: Rorschach Inkblot Test, & Thematic Apperception Test (TAT), Draw a Person test24
6359355604Rorschach Inkblot Testseeks to identify people's inner feelings and conflicts by analyzing their interpretations of 10 inkblots. Critics question the validity and reliability of the tests.25
6359355605Thematic Apperception Testpeople view ambiguous pictures and then make up stories about them. Presumably, their accounts reflect their interests and inner feelings.26
6359355606Humanistic PsychologistsCarl Rogers, Abraham Maslow Description: People develop their personality by trying to reach their full potential Strengths: model was built in a therapy setting Weaknesses: concepts are vague and subjective, individualistic and western based and naive because it fails to appreciate the reality of our capacity for evil27
6359355607Self-ConceptPsychologist: Carl Rogers Goal: Actualizing Tendency (full potential) Theory: A person has who they are, Real Self, and who they want to be, Ideal Self and a successful persoanlity has congruence People need genuineness (honesty), unconditional positive regard (love), and empathy (understanding) to develop a good persoanlity28
6359355608CongruenceA person's Real Self and Ideal Self can merge together Part of Roger's Self-Concept Theory29
6359355609IncongruenceWhen a person's Real Self and Ideal self do not match, causing anxiety. Part of Roger's Self-Concept Theory30
6359355610Unconditional positive regardDefined: receiving acceptance, value, and love from others without requirements Part of Roger's Self-Concept theory in which he says it is necessary to receive from others in order to develop a healthy personality31
6359355611EmpathyPeople will try to understand one's feelings and mirror it back to them Part of Roger's Self-Concept theory in which he says it is necessary to receive from others in order to develop a healthy personality32
6359355612Hierarchy of NeedsPsychologist: Abraham Maslow Description: Pyramid33
6359355613Trait TheoriesDescription: focuses on identifying how people typically behave but does NOT explain how personality developed Strengths: based on empirical evidence with factor analysis Weaknesses: people might behave differently based on the situation they are experiencing Tests: 16 Personality Factors (16 PF), 3 Dimensions, and Myers Briggs34
6359355614Factor analysis- a statistical procedure that identifies common factors among groups of items, to simplify a long list of items into a small number of dimensions -used with trait theories35
6359355615Self-Report InventoriesDescription: a questionnaire which is used to gauge a wide range of feelings and behaviors Strengths: empirically derived Weaknesses: social desirability-people can lie and manipulate the information Tests: MMPI, CPI, 16 PF36
6359355616MMPIMost extensively researched personality inventory. Used to assess mental health professions (police, nurses, doctors, pilots)37
6359355617Big Five Trait TheoryPsychologists: McCrae and Costa Description: OCEAN or CANOE Significance: traits are stable in adulthood, heritability accounts for 50% of personality and can be used to predict other personal attributes38
6359355618Openesscharacteristics such as imagination and insight, and those high in this trait also tend to have a broad range of interests39
6359355619Conscientiousnessinclude high levels of thoughtfulness, with good impulse control and goal-directed behaviors.40
6359355620Extraversioncharacterized by excitability, sociability, talkativeness, assertiveness and high amounts of emotional expressivenes41
6359355621Agreeablenessincludes attributes such as trust, altruism, kindness, affection and other pro-social behaviors.42
6359355622Neuroticismcharacterized by sadness, moodiness and emotional instability43
6359355623Social Cognitive Approach to PersonalityDescription: Personality is influenced between the interaction of a person's traits (including their thinking) and their social context Strengths: based on empirical evidence Weaknesses: minimizes the importance of one's inner traits, emotions, and unconscious motives Examples: Reciprocal Determinism, Locus of Control Psychologists: Bandura44
6359355624Reciprocal determinismPsychologist: Bandura Defined: Personality is developed by the interaction of behavioral, cognitive, and environmental factors. How it works: Everyone has a "self-system" of skills abilities and attitudes Self-Efficacy is what can change the system45
6359355625External Locus of ControlThe perception that chance or outside forces beyond your personal control determine your fate Effects: Pessimism and often learned helplesses46
6359355626Internal Locus of ControlThe perception that you control your own fate Effects: Optimism Optimism leads to longer lives with less illnesses but excessive optimism can also lead us to be blind to risks and overconfidence47
6359355627Self- efficacyDefined: the belief in your own ability to deal with different situations and accomplish specific goals It is NOT self esteem which is your general sense of self worth Consequences: people with high self-efficacy are able to succeed because they have an internal locus of control48
6359355628CompensationDefense Mechanism where people try to overcome feelings of inferiority in one area by striving to be superior in another area Major part of Alfred Adler's theory49
