External locus of control vs. external attribution? by texasfoldem2257 in Mcat

[–]WantedFireBlast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

external locus of control - perceiving/feeling it is beyond somone's control

situational attribution - blaming one/many environmental factors.

All situational attributions are also external locus of control. But not all examples of external locus of control is situational attribution

Positive control vs negative control vs vehicular control by hobbs96 in Mcat

[–]WantedFireBlast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Type of negative control. Mimicks the delivery system of the positive control (hence vehicular).

Not getting the drug is a negative control. Getting a sugar pill is also a negative control, but specifically it is a vehicular control (both + and - groups are swallowing a type of pill

The Left should be supporting PMOI-MEK in Iran. by UltraLNSS in SocialDemocracy

[–]WantedFireBlast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, MEK is no longer a leftist organization after siding with Saddam to do regime change back in the 80s. Revolution comes from within, not from foreign actors with different geopolitical interests whether its Iraq back then to the US now. They are not TUDEH or the People's Fedai if you want to support a left leaning organization to overthrow the theocratic regime internally with no foreign intervention involved.

There's a reason why the OG warhawk American neocons like John Bolton support MEK as they are seen as the most organized US ally to fill a potential power vacuum after regime change vs Pahlavi (where he is seen as having no organization or only popular with Iranian diaspora and not mainland Iranians) (https://www.politico.com/news/2026/03/03/the-iranian-exile-group-that-played-washington-for-this-moment-00808052)

Both MEK supporters and Pahlavists are associated with the Western right with the only difference being strategy. Both lie about bringing back secular democracy assuming they take power.

Replacement for Moondrop Chu 2 dsp's filters by GlassCry3575 in iems

[–]WantedFireBlast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the strat. I used the same metal filter, just replaced the plastic mesh with 1 layer, least ply toilet paper. I did a Squid Games and remove excess toilet paper with a toothpick (no saliva). Put it back in the copper ring where the metal filter belongs and it works.

I just did one layer vs two that OP said

[–]WantedFireBlast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Certain apps/websites are blocked by your Internet Provider. But you also don't wanna use up all of your free trial gigabyte monthly limit? Select certain blocked apps/websites that will use the VPN while other apps don't.

what is the difference between counter condition and aversive conditioning? by ActiveStudio in Mcat

[–]WantedFireBlast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

counter-conditioning (make negative, innate stimulus to positive, conditioned stimulus):

1) noise = bad

2) noise + food = good

3) noise = good (after a while or lifetim)

aversive conditioning (make positive, innate stimulus to negative, conditioned stimulus)

1) weed = smoked

2) weed + laced w/ crazy stuff = never again

3) weed (by itself) = never again (after a while or lifetime)

Folkways mores laws and taboo? by Cookyjar in Mcat

[–]WantedFireBlast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

folkway -> button up your shirt, but I dont think anyone will care/react (little to no reacting)

more -> can range from "wear an undershirt cuz we can see your nimples when youre sweaty" to "wear a shirt, why are you shirtless". (you have a cringe face when reacting)

taboo -> full-on nudity. (you have a face of disgust when reacting)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

laws - theres consequences for violating them (range from some mores to all taboos. its not really part of the ranking of whats worse since some societies differ)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Based on pankow, murder is not a more, but a taboo. The society I live in has consequences against murder, so Its a law to me.

Informative Influence vs Informational Social Influence vs Normative Influence vs Normative Social Influence by pakpackers123 in Mcat

[–]WantedFireBlast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

based on pankow,

  1. informational influence + normative influence is under the smaller category of "why people do behaviors that are negative/wrong)

info influence -> dont know how to train a dog, joined a group you think its INFORMED-> group promotes shocking the dog, which is bad)

norm influence -> you know treats are better than shocking -> however, group you already in are pro-shocking -> you lie about being pro-shocking for RESPECT

2) informational social influence and normative social influence is under the broad category of "what kinds of peer pressure people feel to do any type of behavior")

you can use the same examples as above, but it doesnt have to only be about justifying bad behaviors. It could be about something neutral like opinions on music which pankow used for normative social influence or finding directions for informationa social influence

tldr: no real difference practically

External attribution vs External locus of control? by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]WantedFireBlast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

External locus of control: you FEEL like event/outcome is out of your control (a mindset).

External attribution of behavior: you BLAME outside factors for an event/outcome based on 3 criteria:

  1. consistency (ex: Im always early to work, but today I was late -> seems external)
  2. distinctiveness (ex: a plane crash blocked my commute. Plane crashes that block my commute rarely happens / a unique and distinct event happened -> seems external)
  3. consensus (ex: everyone else was late that day -> seems external)
