    Emily took a psychology course and found several concepts personally relevant and interesting. She and her boyfriend took an attachment style quiz and found it helped them understand their relationship dynamics better, as her style was fearful avoidant while his was a mix of secure and dismissive avoidant. She also enjoyed learning about dreaming in the course and notes how the current pandemic has likely caused her recent nightmares, as the textbook stated stress from events like job loss can lead to more nightmares in adults. Overall she found multiple topics from the class applicable to her life and is considering majoring in psychology.

    Course Reflection

    They say that the first step in solving a problem is to be aware there is a problem.

    One of the things we had talked about in class in our chapter on psychological

    development was the different types of attachment styles, which I found to be very

    interesting. A short time after I actually found a quiz on attachment styles, and both my

    boyfriend and I took it. The results weren’t surprising to me, and made a lot of sense:

    my main attachment style was fearful avoidant, while my boyfriend’s was a mix of

    secure and dismissive avoidant. Although the terms were slightly different than what

    was used in the textbook, I was able to explain to my boyfriend what they meant and we

    were able to understand our relationship dynamic better. Because I know my

    attachment style, I can better understand my behaviors and be more aware of those

    that are counterproductive (secure attachment is the goal)!

    Another thing, maybe my favorite, that I took away from this course was the

    science behind dreaming. In our last unit we talked about the different stages of sleep,

    REM sleep, and dreaming. I’m more often than not able to remember my dreams after

    waking up, so dreaming and sleep has been something that has always been

    interesting and relevant to me. One thing that pertains to my life right now more

    specifically, and probably most peoples’ lives currently, are nightmares. I don’t usually

    have them, but I’ve been having a lot recently. Our textbook described nightmares

    peaking in young children, then weaning off as we get older. It also said that the main
    reason adults have nightmares is usually after something stressful happens, such as

    losing a job. It would make perfect sense why I and so many other people would be

    having nightmares right now: we’re experiencing a pandemic, which can and has been

    very stressful.

    There are probably more concepts I could list that I have taken away from this

    course and have talked about in my everyday life, but that might take up a few more

    pages. I’ve really enjoyed this course, and I’m excited to possibly be majoring in

    psychology!
