Ironic Psychology exercise

/in /by

Part One Discuss why you think plagiarism is so problematic in higher education today. Have you seen examples of it? What do you think you can personally do to help develop your own academic voice? Does it stir up any emotions when you think others are “getting away with it”? Part Two Write a two-paragraph summary about what you have learned about I/O Psychology this week and how it could be applied in your own circumstances. Include at least one quote (cited correctly (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.), but for the rest, paraphrase (rewrite in your own words) your paragraph (also applying citations appropriately throughout (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.). Highlight your quote in blue. Highlight your citations for your self-worded explanations/commentary in yellow. Be sure to also include correctly formatted citations prior to running the document. (For examples of how to write citations, see the Ashford Wiring Center.) Run this summary through your course similarity tool (Turn It In). Make corrections as indicated prior to submitting. Part Three Discuss your results (two to three paragraphs) and the process of intentionally developing your academic writing skills. Why do you think it is important to cite resources when you are putting into your own words? Do you have any bad habits you need to break? How much more difficult would it be to avoid this situation when using websites to assist you in research? What strategies could you use here to help you have more success and prevent accidental mistakes?

Week 5 Discussion 2

/in /by

  

Please no plagiarism and make sure you are able to access all resource on your own before you bid. One of the references must come from Broderick and Blewitt (2015). I need this completed by 12/28/17 at 6pm and I will tell you what discussion I am assigned to when the instructor let me know.

  Discussion 2: Influences on Sexuality and Sexual Orientation

Consider the following perspective from the Just the Facts Coalition, a group comprised of counselors and other helping professionals who work with adolescent children:

Sexual orientation is not synonymous with sexual activity. Many adolescents as well as adults may identify themselves as lesbian, gay, or bisexual without having had any sexual experience with persons of the same sex. Other young people have had sexual experiences with a person of the same sex but do not consider themselves lesbian, gay, or bisexual. This is particularly relevant during adolescence because experimentation and discovery are normal and common during this developmental period. (American Psychological Association, 2013)

Straight, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, and questioning—when it comes to sexuality and sexual orientation, what influences individuals the most?
For this Discussion, review this week’s media presentation, “Perspectives: The ‘Tween’ Years,” reflecting on the factors that influence sexuality and sexual orientation during the tween years. Then, complete the post assigned to you by your Instructor.

Discussion B

Post by Day 4 an explanation of the roles that biology, culture, socialization, and age may play in influencing sexual orientation. Justify your response with references to this week’s Learning Resources and the current literature. Be specific.

Evaluate Websites for Myths/Misinformation

/in /by

Instructions

This week, you reviewed why myths and misinformation often take hold, and you explored some ways to spot misleading claims in the broad field of nutrition. Journalists have limited space to take complicated and nuanced research findings and make them understandable for the public. In this assignment, you will have the choice between two topics: the safety of food dyes and the links between these dyes and behavior/mental health, or the efficacy of Vitamin B in preventing mental illnesses.

Once you have made your choice, do the following:

Read the research study first. As you read, analyze the study protocol and conclusions, using the skills you practiced in last week’s assignment. You do not need to write an essay, but think about your responses to the guidelines posted above.

Read the accompanying news article that reports on the study.

Review the linked consumer website that also focuses on the topic.

Complete the readings/review in this order.

Next, make a PowerPoint or Prezi presentation that compares the original research study with the reporting that you found. Your presentation should summarize the study, evaluate the strength of the reporting, and note whether the consumer website is accurate. Note any misinformation or myths that you come across in the news article and consumer website, and show how you would restate the claims.

Length: 4-7 slides

References: Use the materials provided in the resource list for this week.

You should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards. Be sure to adhere to  University’s Academic Integrity Policy. Review Academic Integrity Tutorial to refresh your knowledge of how to achieve academic integrity.

Evaluate the research literature in terms of reliability, credibility, ethics, and value. Explain the assumptions and biases of the researchers. What was the motive or reason that the research was conducted? Does that affect the credibility or reliability of the findings? Are there ethical issues within the research and were they addressed? Compare the different research studies. Did they use the same methods? Did they have the same or similar conclusions? Are there flaws in the research? How well does the research answer the question you developed? Explain how you would apply the research to professional psychology practice. How are the findings important for your area of psychology?

Data Collection

/in /by

 

To prepare: Review this week’s Learning Resources. Focus on the case study of “Andrea C.” on pages 125-127 of Abnormal Psychology. Think about how a client’s gender, culture (including the culture of physical disabilities), ethnicity, family (or lack thereof), and possible religious background may help you form a more complete case conceptualization.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 4 an analysis of the cultural factors and related social and familial issues that you consider important in making a culturally sensitive diagnosis of “Andrea C.” (found in Chapter 4, “Clinical Assessment and Diagnosis”), and an explanation of their impact on the assessment and diagnosis.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references from the Learning Resources.

Assessment of “Zell Kravinsky”

/in /by

 

To prepare: Review the case study for “Zell Kravinsky” on page 6 of Abnormal Psychology. Consider the types of data and their relevance to an assessment.

The Assignment: (1–2 pages) Identify what information would be important to collect during the initial assessment process to make a diagnosis and why. Explain what methods you would use to collect the data or make ongoing assessment.
