Idea solution
Imagine the following event:
You are standing in a line to collect a ticket; suddenly another person walks up and cuts in line in front of you.
Above incident presents a scenario which can be well explained by one of the branch of psychology. Name and explain this branch of Psychology and give any two examples of that branch which explain that discipline of psychology. Also focus on the methods of investigation used in this field of study. (2+2+6)
S olution:-
This behavior tends to Social Psychology because social psychology is a discipline that uses scientific methods "to understand and explain how the thought, feeling and behavior of individuals are influenced by the actual, imagined or implied presence of other human beings"
Relationships (Example)
Equity -- there's a common source of argument. Does one person doing garbage equate to the other ironing? Does one person doing laundry equate to the other vacuuming? Early on in our marriage these issues cropped up frequently. Now as I look at it 16 years later, these just aren't issues anymore. Each does what has to be done as it needs doing. Sometimes one of us has more time than the other. Consideration of the other's needs creates the equity anymore -- not the amount of equal effort. That's where the twist builds from because you know the other person will be there for you.
