Social Psychology Assignment 1: Journal

     It was my first Social Psychology assignment. We were required to write two journals by incorporating the concepts learned in Chapter 1 to Chapter 5 based on our own experiences in our daily lives. First of all, I thought it was tough for me because I was not really understand some of the concepts. Also, I did not know how to relate my own experiences to those concepts. Therefore, I read back all the notes given by Miss Tan before I did this assignment. Lastly, I decided to relate my own experiences to four concepts which were "Managing Appearances Tactic", "Intergroup Comparisons", "Upward Counterfactual Thinking", and "Self-serving Bias". After I had done this assignment, I realized that there are so many theories and concepts I am able to apply to my personal live. In addition, the most important is that I have understood and known myself better. I got a B+ for this assignment and I am not satisfied. I knew my weakness which is grammar mistake and I will make sure that I would not repeat the same mistake again in my next assignment.
