"Barclay is getting ready for a date with someone new. Before he leaves his apartment, he decides to smoke some marijuana, which he believes helps him to be more charming and interesting. Which theoretical perspective best explains Barclay's actions"?

Cognitive Perspective

Explanation:

The Cognitive Perspective is the perspective that is related to mental functions such as 'memory, perception, problem solving, and thinking.'

The cognitive perspective comes under the psychological study of cognition. The approach of cognitive psychology was first studied by William Wundt in 1879.  

In the given case, Barclay's perception can be best explained by Cognitive perspective theory. His perception about smoking marijuana which makes him think that he will appear more charming and interesting can be studied under cognitive perspective because this field of study helps in learning about memory, thinking, perception, etc.

So, the correct answer is cognitive perspective.

i thought a 14 year old should know this but

colonies   were tied to britain through trade and by the way they were governed.   trade was restricted so the colonies had to rely on britain for imported goods and supplies.   there were no banks and very little money, so colonists used barter and credit to get the things they needed.  

britain also needed money to pay for its war debts.   the king and parliament believed they had the right to tax the colonies.   they decided to require several kinds of taxes from the colonists to pay for the french and indian war.   these taxes included the stamp act, passed in 1765, which required the use of special paper bearing an embossed tax stamp for all legal documents.   other laws, such as the townsend acts, passed in 1767

this mainly outraged the colonies and created what we know as today as the american revolutionary war
