i need someone very good in psychology please or that majored in psychology

/in /by

You must answer each question using your own words. If you are using evidence from the book or any other resource you must provide the correct citation. Please download the questions, answer on your own word document and upload by midnight on your assigned due date.

1. Briefly discuss the phenomenon of drug abuse in the context of five different psychological perspectives.

2. Describe the basic structure of a research experiment. Include the definition and purpose of the hypothesis, independent variable, dependent variable, control group, experimental group, and random assignment.

3. Explain what behavioral geneticists mean by the term heritability and why it is frequently misunderstood. Provide one example of low heritability and one example of high heritability.

4. Psychologists have described the human nervous system as the communication and control center for the body. The nervous system allows us to take in information from the environment, communicate the information to different parts of the body, and coordinate the body’s response. The nervous system itself is made up of neurons, or nerve cells, that communicate with each other by receiving and transmitting electrochemical signals, called neurotransmission. All human behavior is made possible by the activity of individual neurons working together in the nervous system. Think about a simple action you do every day, like answering your phone. When you perform this routine act, what are the individual neurons in your nervous system doing to make it possible?

In a multi-paragraph essay, explain how the activity of individual neurons enables you to perform a simple action like answering your phone. Be sure to describe the main parts of a neuron, explain the unique function of each part, and describe how neurons use electrochemical signals for neurotransmission. Include details from class materials, readings, and research on the nervous system to support your discussion.

5. Current research is revealing new relationships between sleep and memory formation. Discuss prior views and current research regarding the role of sleep. How might this apply to your own preparation for exams?

6. Psychologists have identified five main personality traits, often called the “Big Five” or the five-trait model. Think about the “Big Five” personality traits we studied in class. Then select a real or fictional character from literature, film, television, or public life. How could the “Big Five” model be used to understand the character’s personality?

In a multi-paragraph essay, explain what is meant by a “personality trait” according to the “Big Five” model, define each of the “Big Five” traits, and describe the character’s personality using the “Big Five” traits. For each trait, be sure to provide evidence from the character’s thoughts, emotions, and behavior. Include details from class materials, readings, and research on personality to support your discussion.

7. Social psychologists like Solomon Asch have studied the conditions that affect how people act in group situations, especially the ways in which people conform to the attitudes and behavior of others. Drawing on your personal experience, think of a situation in which you either did or did not conform to the attitudes and behavior of others in a group.

In a multi-paragraph essay, describe the situation and discuss the factors that influenced you to conform or not conform. Be sure to include information from class materials, readings, and research on group conformity to support your discussion.

8. Describe the controversy over whether routine vaccinations in children cause autism. What is the current interpretation of the scientific evidence? What has been a consequence of parental concerns about a potential link between routine vaccinations and autism?

9. For centuries, people have believed myths and misconceptions about psychological disorders and the people who suffer from them. Modern psychological research has allowed us to correct some of these misconceptions. As a result, many people have changed their ideas about mental and emotional disorders. Think of a common misconception you have observed in society or in your personal experience. How could information from research be used to change people’s views of psychological disorders? How can this information help us to better understand people who experience mental and emotional disorders?

In a multi-paragraph essay, describe the misconception you observed and discuss how information from research could be used to change this misconception about psychological disorders and the people who suffer from them. Be sure to include details from class materials, readings, and research on psychological disorders to support your discussion.

10. Imagine that you are an experienced mental health professional. Choose a psychological disorder and describe the type of treatment plan that you would initiate for such a disorder. Describe how you would modify your treatment plan for certain patients, if they do not respond well to your typical treatment paradigm.

11. Give an example of a highly stressful circumstance that you have experienced (or you may create a fictitious scenario) and discuss the various physiological changes that would occur at each stage of Selye’s general adaptation syndrome as a result of that event.

judaism religion interview

/in /by

In order to get a better idea of the work done in the field of religious studies and how individuals live out their religious beliefs, you will be conducting an interview with someone who self-identifies as a practitioner of one of the traditions that we study in this course (Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, or Islam).

In order to complete this assignment, you will need to:

  • Choose an individual in your life that you would like to interview and ask him/her if they would be willing to be interviewed for your project. (My imaginary interviewer friend- Jewish)
  • Compose a list of at least 10 questions for this individual about their religious beliefs and practices. You may choose from the list of example questions listed below, or compose your own questions.
  • Interview your subject. The interview should last about 45 mns and should focus on their religious beliefs and practices. Ideally, the interview should be done in person so that you can better gauge your subject’s reaction to your questions. However, it is also acceptable to conduct your interview over the phone or skype. (Act like we have interviewed them)
  • Compose a 1000-word paper discussing the interview. The paper should address the following questions:
    1. Who is your interview subject? What religious tradition are they a member of? Why did you choose this individual?
    2. Describe the interview itself: what questions were asked and how did the individual respond?
      • You will not be able to include every question and answer, so focus on the responses that were most interesting to you
      • This should not be a transcript of the interview, but a summary of the questions you asked and how the subject responded to them.
      • Describe your subject’s demeanor: Did he/she seem nervous? Did they enjoy speaking about their religious beliefs? Had they ever spoken about them before to another person? Which aspect of their religious beliefs did they seem to enjoy speaking about the most? The least?
      • Did you learn anything new about the religious tradition that your subject practices?
      • What was at least one similarity and one difference between what your interview subject said and what we read in God Is Not One about that tradition- you must include two direct quotations from the book to demonstrate the similarity and difference. (I will provide the quotes for you to include)
      • You should also include a paragraph about your own response to the interview: did you learn something new about this person? Was it interesting to learn about his/her religious beliefs/practices? Were any of their answers surprising or not?

      Turn in your list of interview questions along with your paper.

    3. Example Questions:
      1. How and why did you become a member of this religious tradition?
        1. If you grew up in this religious tradition, was there a time that you decided to commit yourself independently to this tradition?
      2. Do you perform any daily (or weekly, monthly, etc) religious rituals?
        1. How long have you performed this ritual?
      3. Do you believe in a higher power?
        1. How do you describe this higher power? Or higher reality?
      4. How does your religious tradition view American society?
      5. Who is allowed to be an authority figure in your religious tradition?
      6. How does your religion influence your daily life?
      7. Are there particular texts or narratives in your religious tradition that are particularly important to you?
      8. Have your religious beliefs changed over the course of your life?
      9. Were there particular times during your life when you were more or less involved with your religion?
      10. Have you ever had a religious experience that changed the way you lived your life?
      11. How does your religion conceive of ‘the good life’?
      12. How does your religious tradition view the issue of gender? Does it promote gender equality?
      13. Are there any aspects of your religious tradition (ethical teachings, rituals) that you disagree with or would like to see changed?
      14. What do you think will happen to your religious tradition in a hundred years? Do you think it will grow, diminish, or change in any way?
      15. How do you view members of other religious traditions or those without any religion at all?
