IB Psychology with Mrs. Horihan

One does not simply RETRIEVE a study case for an important SAR. However, "arousal" will be stored in long-term memory forever.

Mrs: Horihan: After 3 hours grading your SARs, I thought I was going crazy...
Jan: AROUSAL
Mrs: Horihan: Where is your 'application' part?
Jan: AROUSAL
Calum: (looks directly to the camera) that's what we call 'IB Psychology with Mrs. Horihan'.

reverse psychology

Where an arrogant/disgruntled/overly-confident client "turns the tables" and attempts to counsel the psychologist.

Dr. Phil: Let's talk about your childhood.
Madea (cheerfully): Let's talk about YOUR childhood.
Dr. Phil. Talkin' about MY childhood isn't gonna help YOU out. Okay, let's try a different route. Do you sleep well at night?
Madea (with an impish breezy smile): Do YOU sleep well at night?
Dr. Phil (passing his hand over his face in a "I can't handle this --- NOBODY could talk any sense into this woman" gesture): Look --- I ain't gonna be able to help ya if you're gonna practice reverse psychology here!

Psychology

A degree you can get on Wikipedia, but many choose to pay $20,000 a year to earn a worthless degree from Mediocre State University.

College Grad Friend: Yes, Stockholm Syndrome is where the vi-

Friend 1: -the victim is, for some reason, attracted to the attacker.

College Grad Friend: Who told you that?

College Grad: -_-, u suck

psychology

Mostly bullshit. Every time someone attempts to psychoanalyse me, they fail miserably.

Psychologist: I believe you punched that guy in the nose because you have deep issues of security and you felt threatened in your own envioronment. It had nothing to do with the fact that he kicked you in the balls.

evolutionary psychology

The idea that human behavior can be explained through evolution. An idea usually hated by SJWs. It shows that human nature is biological, and not all just a social construct, and can be used to explain things such as gender differences.

The human brain, like the human body, has been shaped through evolution, hence evolutionary psychology.

Reverse Psychology Endorsement

A type of endorsement (usually done by celebrities) that tricks people into thinking a celebrity is not being paid to promote or endorse a product/company. A celebrity may talk down about a company or a company may even make a publicity stunt to pay the celebrity not to promote their product/company. You think there is no endorsement deal, but in reality, you're being tricked into seeing that product/company's name.

In August 2011, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, from MTV's Jersey Shore, was offered a significant sum of money by Abercrombie & Fitch Co. to NOT wear A&F clothes.
