Michelle’s AP PSYCHOLOGY YEAR IN REVIEW Concept 1 (Set Point) It is the body’s weight thermostat. It wants to maintain the individuals stable weight. A impact this concept has had on my life is knowing what my weight falls on. I know what is regular and what underweight is because of the signs that may appear.
IMAGE GOES HERE Concept 3 (Social anxiety) An example of this term is a individual not wanting to go to a party because they get anxious thinking about interacting with others. I learned what others have to deal with and became more opened minded of people not wanting to communicate with others.
Concept 2 (Spotlight Effect) It's when you overthink a situation. You make it seem worse than what it really is. This has made me realize that I do this a lot. I need to be optimistic when something like this happens.
IMAGE GOES HERE Concept 4 (Binge Eating Disorder) Someone not being able to control themselves from eating. They continue to eat every little piece of food that might be in sight. This has impacted my life because I have met someone with this disorder. Now I have a clear understanding what they have been through.
Summery My experience of this year was wild. Never in my life I had to do online school. This impacted my mental health tremendously. I learned a lot about the mind and why I feel a certain way. Also what it might be caused by.
