Gender Theories

Assignment: Gender Theories

There are several perspectives on gender development. These perspectives have been studied and formulated into theories. Freud led the way with psychodynamic theories of gender development suggesting that early childhood interaction with parents was the foundation of gender development. Social learning theories are founded in reinforcement and observational models suggesting that gender development is learned. Cognitive development theories suggest that gender differences develop by observation of gender consistencies, gender schemata, or gender scripts within a culture. Whatever the theory, gender roles differ in different cultures. Remember that culture includes age, religion, sexual orientation, etc., as well as race and ethnicity. In this Application Assignment, you will apply gender theory to gender development by comparing gender roles in different cultures and using theory to explain the difference.

To prepare for this assignment:

  • Review the assigned pages in Chapter 1 and all of Chapter 5 in the course text,Gender: Psychological Perspectives. Focus on how gender studies have evolved over the decades and the difference between the gender development theory perspectives.
  • Review the article, “Perspectives on Gender Development.” Focus on the limitations of traditional social learning and cognitive perspectives and what an expanded view might look like.
  • Select a specific culture (e.g., geographical, religious, racial, etc.) that is not your own. Using the Internet and the Walden Library, research gender roles for this culture.
  • Think about how each of the different theories of gender development might explain the development of the gender roles in the culture you have selected and for your own culture. Your text explores psychodynamic approaches, social learning theory approaches, and cognitive theory approaches.

The assignment (3–5 pages):

  • Briefly describe the specific culture you selected, focusing on the gender roles of both males and the females.
  • Compare (similarities and differences) the gender roles in the culture you selected with the gender roles in your own culture. Use clear, concrete examples to make your comparisons.
  • Apply one of the following theories to explain the development of the male and the female role in each of the two cultures (your own and the culture you selected). Use clear, concrete examples to illustrate your points.
  • Discuss development of gender roles in at least three different areas of life (e.g., family, work, community, etc.)
  • Select your theory from the following:
    • Social Learning Theory
    • Cognitive Developmental Theory
    • Gender Schema Theory
    • Gender Script Theory
  • Finally, summarize your thoughts about how well your selected gender development theory explains gender development and why.

Note:Support the responses within your Assignment with evidence from the assigned Learning Resources, including in-text citations.

motivating factor for joining the military and one motivating factor for military personnel to remain in the service.

/in /by

Why might an individual choose to enlist in military service rather than seek employment elsewhere? In the United States, no one has been drafted or forced into military service since 1973. In other countries, forced military service may occur, and the service members’ reasons for staying in the service may vary. Unlike forced military service, voluntary military service is a personal choice. There are a myriad of reasons why someone would engage in service before self in an institution that requires one to relinquish certain personal rights. To understand military personnel from the lens of a helping professional, it is imperative to understand what motivates a person to choose this career path as a way of life regardless if it is for short or long term.

As you investigate the motivating factors of joining, staying in, or separating from military service, consider how military culture can influence these decisions.

how relinquishing certain rights to a chain of command might present challenges for military personnel.

/in /by

The highly structured and complex U.S. military chain of command is a critical component of the military. It contains many levels and arms to which and from which reporting and responsibility flow. Without the chain of command, missions would fail and chaos would ensue.As a helping professional, you must understand why the chain of command exists, how it is structured, and how military personnel navigate it. You must also understand the impact that the chain of command may have on the lives of military personnel and their families. This understanding equips you to help military personnel and their families adjust to living within the chain of command.As with any organization or workplace, there are typical protocols and procedures that military personnel follow. For example, in the typical workplace, reporting procedures, time-off requests, and specific instructions for work duties parallel military personnel procedures to a degree. The extent to which the chain of command touches or influences the lives of military personnel, however, is a significant contrast to the typical workplace.Unlike the typical employee, military personnel cannot leave their jobs when they find other preferred job opportunities. From boot camp training—which demands recruits to follow specific training orders—to daily life on or off a military installation, the chain of command is ever present.For example, when a military service member receives a collection notice, oftentimes collection agencies contact that individual’s chain of command who may in turn demand that the individual pay the outstanding debt. In cases of domestic violence, the chain of command will get involved and can impose punitive action, demand counseling, or even remove items, such as weapons, from a home, if the command believes they may be used to harm family members. When a military service member faces legal charges, the chain of command will impose punitive action that may include withholding pay or leave time or even discharging the individual from the service.Review the Chain of Command Flow Chart media piece and the “Chain of Command Scenarios” document (accessed in this week’s resources) for this Discussion. Select one of the scenarios to address in the Discussion.Post an explanation of how relinquishing certain rights to a chain of command might present challenges for military personnel. Justify your response.Then, as a helping professional, explain one way you might support military personnel or military families to adjust to following a chain of command in the chain of command scenario you selected. Use the current literature and resources to support your response.Be sure to support your post with specific references to the resources. If you are using additional articles, be sure to provide full APA-formatted citations for your references.Required ReadingsBlaisure, K.

Diagnostic Summary and MSE

/in /by

fore moving through diagnostic decision making, a social worker needs to conduct an interview that builds on a biopsychosocial assessment. New parts are added that clarify the timing, nature, and sequence of symptoms in the diagnostic interview. The Mental Status Exam (MSE) is a part of that process.

The MSE is designed to systematically help diagnosticians recognize patterns or syndromes of a person’s cognitive functioning. It includes very particular, direct observations about affect and other signs of which the client might not be directly aware.

When the diagnostic interview is complete, the diagnostician has far more detail about the fluctuations and history of symptoms the patient self-reports, along with the direct observations of the MSE. This combination greatly improves the chances of accurate diagnosis. Conducting the MSE and other special diagnostic elements in a structured but client-sensitive manner supports that goal. In this Assignment, you take on the role of a social worker conducting an MSE.

To prepare:

  1. Watch the video describing an MSE. Then watch the Sommers-Flanagan (2014) “Mental Status Exam” video clip. Make sure to take notes on the nine domains of the interview.
  2. Review the Morrison (2014) reading on the elements of a diagnostic interview.
  3. Review the9 Areas to evaluate for a Mental Status Exam and example diagnostic summary write-up provided in this Week’s resources.
  4. Review the case example of a diagnostic summary write-up provided in this Week’s resources.
  5. Write up a Diagnostic Summary including the Mental Status Exam for Carl based upon his interview with Dr. Sommers-Flanagan.

Submita 2- to 3-pagecase presentationpaper in which you complete both parts outlined below:

Part I: Diagnostic Summary and MSE
