Journal 1

It was the first class of my Social Psychology and my lecturer is Ms Pang Chia Yee. As this

was our first class, she explains about what is Social Psychology, the assignment and quizzes.

Ms Pang was given us a paper which is contain some question and we must pass up when

class dismiss. Because this was our first class, we just meet Ms Pang so the whole class was

just stay quiet. So, Ms Pang gives us a very famous experiment which is “The Shyness Scale.”

Through this experiment, we can know the level of our shyness. The experiment was about

each of us answering some questions with multiple choices which have a score of 0-4. After

answering all the questions, we‟ll have to reverse all the score, like 0 equal to 4, and 1equal

to 3 and follow by others. Then, we‟ll add the scores and find out the shyness level of

ourselves. If the score is lesser than 8, that means you are less shy, if your score is higher than

20, you are shy. So, this is a very interesting class, I felt so excited and fun and I would like

to learn and know more about it.

Journal 2

Today class is talk about describe who I am. In class, Ms Pang told us to describe ourselves,

for example I‟m a boy, and I‟m a student and others. She gives us some times about maybe

10 minutes. Then we started to speak up who I am one by one. From this activity, I had

realised that the people in society had divided into individual group based on the some

characteristics such as outgoing, childish or others. We could hear many interesting and

funny answer, and I know more their truth identity. Then, our lecturer gives us a video, the

video is a song called „„I am.‟‟ Then, we form a group with 4 or 5 people, we talked about to

describe „„we are what‟‟. For example like we are boys, we are happy and others. We can

hear that each group got their own answer about who they are. It is quite fun and happy on

that day, to let me know more about myself and I know more about my friends in class.

This lesson is talk about vision. Vision is the detection of light. The most important part of

the eye was iris. It was a coloured structure of the eye that surrounding the pupil. So, we

could saw things and many different colours. Next, is the talk about the effect of colour. The

different colour can represent the person different type of mood. Then, I know the red colour

is the most famous colour in our daily life. They choose red colour is because red colour easy

to attract people attention. For example restaurant KFC, McDonald, Pizzahunt and others,

they also use red colour in their restaurant logo to attract more customers. So through this

lesson, I know red colour is the attractive colour combine to other colour and learn more

about the colour that represent the mood of people.
