25. Social Rejection: The Need to Belong
Scientific Attitude, The: Testing Therapeutic Touch
VHS Color 5 Min 2005
(VT 9494) #1: Moving Images: Exploring Psychology Through Film. Illustrates the fallibility of human intuition and how a
simple experiment can put ideas to the test. Describes the use of therapeutic touch to treat patients, and the experiment by
fourth grade student Emily Rosa. Emily’s therapeutic touch test results were published in the Journal of the American
Medical Association. Goes on to explain the placebo effect and the demonstration of that which was conducted by New York
University’s Dr. Michael Aronoff with his students.
Neural Communication: Neurotransmitter Acetylcholine
VHS Color 4 Min 2005
(VT 9494) #2: Moving Images: Exploring Psychology Through Film. Describes through animation the neuron’s structure
including the cell body, axon, and dendrites, and demonstrates how cells communicate. Uses Acetylcholine as the example
to show how this major neurotransmitter crosses the synaptic gap and binds to receptor sites on the receiving neuron. This
binding causes channels to open, allowing sodium ions to flow into the receiving cell, which triggers an electric current and a
new impulse down the cell membrane. Indicates that this process occurs all the time, all over the brain, among billions of
neurons.
Brain And Behavior: A Contemporary Phineas Gage
VHS Color 7 Min 2005
(VT 9494) #3: Moving Images: Exploring Psychology Through Film. Demonstrates the role of the brain in behavior and the
role that emotion plays in everyday decision making. Briefly recounts the 19th century case of railroad worker Phineas Gage
who survived a freak accident in which his frontal lobes were damaged and he seemed to lose his moral compass. Antonio
Damasio, a University of Iowa neuroscientist, describes how his current patients show similar changes in personality as a
result of brain damage.
Brain Reorganization: Phantom Limb Sensations
VHS Color 3 Min 2005
(VT 9494) #4: Moving Images: Exploring Psychology Through Film. Phantom limb sensations demonstrate how our sense of
touch is not merely a function of the region where we feel it but of the brain itself. Highlights the brain’s plasticity. Shows how
sensory fibers that terminate in adjacent areas of the sensory cortex may invade the brain tissue that is no longer receiving
sensory input after a body part is removed. The hand region is next to the face region on the sensory cortex so when the
face of a patient with a missing hand is stroked, he feels the sensation not only on his cheek but also on his nonexistent
fingers.

Nature-Nurture Issue, The: Sex Reassignment

VHS Color 5 Min 2005 (VT 9494) #5: Moving Images: Exploring Psychology Through Film. Explores the consequences of gender reassignment through the story of Bruce Reimer, in the “John/Joan” case. He was born a twin in the mid-1960s in Winnipeg, Canada, a completely normal boy until a freak medical accident destroyed his genitalia. Doctors recommended that his parents raise him as a girl based on the assumption that babies are born with a blank slate when it comes to gender identity. Researcher Milton Diamond suggests that doctors knew the experiment was not working but because they wanted it to work, allowed it to go on. He suggests that gender identification comes from the brain, not the genitals.

Do Parents Matter? Peer Influence

VHS Color 5 Min 2005 (VT 9494) #6: Moving Images: Exploring Psychology Through Film. Judith Harris explains why she believes peers have a stronger impact than parents on development. She observes that twins reared apart from birth are as similar in personality as twins who are raised in the same family, suggesting that the home environment has little influence on personality development. Psychologist Alan Sroufe, who disagrees with Harris’s analysis, suggests that peers influence more superficial aspects of behavior such as dress, music preferences, and slang vocabulary. In contrast, parents influence moral character, values, and conscience. Harris states that a group of parents can influence the culture that shapes the peer group. Culture, she argues, is transmitted across generations by “parents’ group to children’s group effects.”

“False Belief” Test, The: Theory Of Mind

VHS Color 4 Min 2005 (VT 9494) #7: Moving Images: Exploring Psychology Through Film. The “false belief” test demonstrates that, between the ages of three and four, children’s understanding of others’ mental states changes dramatically. “Theory of mind” refers to people’s ideas about their own and others’ mental states. This program shows that the child’s theory of mind changes between the ages of three and four. Children come to believe that others may hold false beliefs. Moreover, they begin to understand that two people may think very differently about the world. Four- and five-year-olds recognize that people can have different beliefs.

Rouge Test, The: Self-Recognition

VHS Color 2 Min 2005 (VT 9494) #8: Moving Images: Exploring Psychology Through Film. Introduces the “rouge” or mirror self-recognition test that offers clues to the development of self-awareness.

Firewalking: Mind Over Matter?

VHS Color 2 Min 2005 (VT 9494) #9: Moving Images: Exploring Psychology Through Film. ABC’s John Stossel describes how people learn to walk on red-hot coals. Although instructors say that to firewalk, you “must focus your mind,” physicist David Willey disagrees. In setting up his 165-foot fire lane, he explains that anyone can do it. Why? Because wood coals are a poor conductor of heat, one does not have to believe or chant anything, just walk briskly. With some initial apprehension, John Stossel firewalks and is unscathed. Fifteen others follow him without feeling pain or being injured. Clearly, if people hesitated they would be burned.

Sensation Without Perception: Visual Prosopagnosia

VHS Color 4 Min 2005 (VT 9494) #10: Moving Images: Exploring Psychology Through Film. Highlights the difference between sensation and perception and discusses Prosopagnosia. Those who suffer Prosopagnosia are able to differentiate between faces and other objects but are unable to recognize or interpret faces correctly. Shows how perception is ultimately done in the brain.

Nonconscious Processing: Blindsight

(VHS Color 6 Min 2005 (VT 9494) #11: Moving Images: Exploring Psychology Through Film. Reveals the complexity of perception, including the possible existence of two visual systems, and demonstrates how we may know more than we realize we know. Neuroscientist Christof Koch explains blindsight, and how some individuals who have suffered damage to the visual cortex may experience blindness in part of their visual field. When shown a target in the blind field, they report seeing nothing. However, when asked to guess something about the nature of the target, for example, the direction it moves, they offer the correct response.

Psychoactive Drugs: Altering Brain Chemistry

VHS Color 4 Min 2005 (VT 9494) #12: Moving Images: Exploring Psychology Through Film. Explains how the major addictive substances alter brain chemistry to produce their effects. Describes the importance of neurotransmitters, including dopamine, in our body’s neural communication system. Visits Dr. Steve Hyman’s laboratories at the National Institute of Mental Health where narrator Bill Moyers asks why drugs prove addicting. He indicates that the major addicting drugs are plant products with chemicals that mimic the release of massive amounts of dopamine.

she became obsessed with germs that might hurt her daughter. States that people may be biologically predisposed to develop an OCD. Some research traces the disorder to an imbalance in the neurotransmitter serotonin. Antidepressant drugs are often used in treatment. A combination of medication and behavior therapy appears to have been successful in helping Gayle to recover. She is now able to embrace her daughter without fear of contamination.

Depression: Mike Wallace’s Journey

VHS Color 3 Min 2005 (VT 9494) #23: Moving Images: Exploring Psychology Through Film. CBS News correspondent Mike Wallace describes his personal struggle with depression. He takes Zoloft, a cousin to Prozac, and intends to stay on it for the rest of his life. Therapists tell him that his depression is unlikely to return as long as he remains on the medication.

Intensive Exposure Therapy: Overcoming Agoraphobia

VHS Color 6 Min 2005 (VT 9494) #24: Moving Images: Exploring Psychology Through Film. Focuses on the causes and treatments of agoraphobia, using as an example a young adult female, Sadada. She suffers from panic disorder with agoraphobia, the fear of public places or of situations in which escape may be difficult or help unavailable. Exposure therapies have become the most widely used method of behavior therapy. Virtual reality exposure therapy is sometimes used with those who are too terrified to experience the situation in reality. Treatment begins when her therapist helps Sadada understand the nature of anxiety, and how to deal with the fearful thoughts that accompany her panic attacks. The account ends with Sadada’s being able to do the things she used to fear doing.

Social Rejection: The Need to Belong

VHS Color 3 Min 2005 (VT 9494) #25: Moving Images: Exploring Psychology Through Film. Considers the need to belong within the school setting, highlighting the negative impact of social rejection and the important psychological benefits of friendship.
