UCSD Democratic Method of Making Decisions Psychology Discussion

 

I’m working on a psychology question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

1.   Have you ever experienced a situation in which you felt “pressured” by other people (i.e., friends, co-workers, family members) to think, feel, or behave in a certain way that you might not have necessarily agreed with, but you just “went along” with them anyway because you felt like you “had to”?  Briefly describe the situation and how you felt when you were “pressured” by others to act or think in a certain way.  What made you finally decide to “give in” to this pressure?  Or if you didn’t give in to this social pressure, what made you decide not to “give in.”?    

1.   Have you made any adjustments or changes in how you have approached this class since the beginning of the semester?  If so, what kinds of adjustments/changes have you made?  What prompted you to make these adjustments?  Do you feel they have helped you to be more successful in this class?  Why?
