This individual journal discusses 3 social behaviors observed in a photo taken during Chinese New Year in Penang at 7:09pm. First, a woman posing for a photo demonstrates schema as past experiences inform posing for nicer photos. Second, a Caucasian girl picking her nose shows automatic processing as an unintentional, involuntary act. Third, a woman lengthening her neck out of curiosity shows representative heuristic, as her facial expression indicates inner curiosity about ongoing performances.

SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY FIRST INDIVIDUAL JOURNAL
This photo was taken at Penang during Chinese New Year and the time was 7.09pm. Based on my observation through the captured photograph, there are a few of social behaviors that can relate to the concept learnt. The first social behavior observed is the pink shirt women who is posing for picture.(1) It is refer as schema because from the past experiences will give us knowledge that posing will make the photo looks nicer. The second social behavior observed is the Caucasian girl is picking her nose.(2) This is refer as the automatic processing as unintentionally or involuntary she will pick her nose due to itchiness of nose or some other reasons. The third social behavior observed is the woman with medium hair length woman is lengthen her neck up to see clearly what is happening in front of her probably performances happening because of her curiosity.(3) This can be refer as representative heuristic because based on her facial expression, we can know there is curiosity inside her to know what is happening in front of her.
