A Beautiful Mind

In the movie A Beautiful Mind, John Nash has the disorder of being a schizophrenic. There are four ways that help determining a psychological disorder.

Maladaptive: John didn't adapt well to the "fake friends" or the hospital

Unjustifiable: Its hard for John to excuse/ get ride of his fake friends.

Disturbing: John almost let his baby drown because he thought that Charles, one of his fake friends, was watching him.

Atypical: Johns obsession of  covering his "office" with magazines and solving of problems.

Little Albert

     Yes the experiment supported their hypothesis. They said that when getting Albert to have a fear of a rat and anything that is similar to it, it will start to create the same reaction as his first one to the rat. In this they proved that Albert was automatically scared of anything that was white and fury or looked to be a rat.
      Albert became generalized because he started to become scared of anything that was to look or feel white and fury.
      They were used because peter would become happy because of the experiences that would occur when he would see the rabbit. These experiences were good. After doing this experiment, peter started to like the rabbits because all he would think of was the good outcomes that would be coming.
