Santa Monica college Psi Beta

10/29/2015

Hello everyone! It's Johann, and I just want to share a little list of information that would be useful for tomorrow and they days to come.

1. Our meeting on Thursday is actually club row so people should stop by the booth to say hello instead of meeting in Drescher 222. Along with seeing us, you can buy Jamba Juice! If anyone wants to volunteer/ help decorate the booth to let us know asap!!

2. Our next actual meeting will be on Nov. 12th. Write that down!

3. We still need volunteers for the Halloween trick or treat event at school which will be from 10-1 at SMC this SUNDAY! If interested, please reply :)

4. We will be visiting a Ucla lab/ attend a research panel on Friday Nov. 6th the panel will be from 12:30-1:30 and then we'll get a brief tour of the labs so if anyone is interested in that to send us a message with the subject line. This is your opportunity to see first hand how research work looks!

5. If you're interested in joining Psi Beta, send us your transcript with the word transcript on the subject line so we can approve your 3.2 GPA requirement.

That is all from me, I hope to see you guys soon! - Johann Piedras

Psych majors carry a psychoanalysis practicing stereotype due to their curiosity to understand behavior. Is this a bad thing?

"Emotional intelligence is important, but the unbridled enthusiasm has obscured a dark side. New evidence shows that when people hone their emotional skills, they become better at manipulating others."

In some jobs, being in touch with emotions is essential. In others, it seems to be a detriment. And like any skill, being able to read people can be used for good or evil.

Interesting topic, does anyone feel the same? Apparently some of us have super powers :)

We all know someone who has a great sense of direction -- and someone else who has a terrible one. Do we have an innate sense of direction or is it learned?
