The purpose of these papers is to allow you to explore and reflect on selected chapter readings from a more personal perspective. You will have an opportunity to critically express your own thoughts, ideas, and insights regarding a particular topic. These papers are less formal than a traditional term paper or research paper, but do require critical thinking. Despite being stylistically informal, these thought papers should not simply restate ideas as they were discussed in class or presented in the readings. Instead, they should reflect your own critical insights and thoughts on a particular topic.

To facilitate this process, I will provide 5 essay questions related to one major course topics. The topic involves stress and coping.These thought questions will be posted at the button.

Although it is acceptable to use a first person style (e.g., “I”) in writing these papers, they should nonetheless follow a good scholarly style, and can include references to other research, theories, etc. if you choose. Research and formal citations are not mandatory for course readings as it is understood that the material you are citing is already referenced on the course reading. However, you can include references in order to practice your APA style. Although you do not need to follow APA guidelines when writing these papers, good grammar and style are still important for conveying your ideas.

Each thought paper is expected to be single-spaced and typed, with a cover page indicating the title, date, your student number, etc. Although these are less formal compositions, handwritten papers are not acceptable. Each paper will be graded out of 50 (10 points per question x 5 questions = 50 marks) marks for originality, depth of thought, insight, critical thinking, and relevance to the concepts from class.

Assignment 2: Pavlov’s Dog: An Example of Classical Conditioning Classical cond

/in /by

The opponent-process theory suggests that we often experience emotions in opposing pairs such as fear and relief or pleasure and pain. When we experience one end of the spectrum, the other end is temporarily suppressed and thus we rarely experience the two at the same time. However, there are times when we experience both emotions before the first emotion fades. When this happens, the experience can be uncomfortable or even strangely enjoyable. 

A good example of this process is skydiving, which was the basis of the primary research into this theory. When a person skydives for the very first time, the jump elicits high levels of fear and relatively low levels of pleasure, even upon landing. However, as the skydiver gains more experience, the level of fear decreases while pleasure increases. Often, the skydiver feels both at the same time, resulting in high levels of excitement.

Another example is shopping and the guilt that often follows. For example, a woman finds a new dress that she loves but not having the money, she charges the new dress. She immediately feels excitement and pleasure with her new purchase. However, soon after getting home, she begins to feel guilt for charging a dress that she wanted, but did not really need.

Now, read the following article:

Based on your analysis of the article, explain in detail how the opponent-process theory works. Be sure to address the following:

  • How does the opponent-process theory explain why drug addiction is so difficult to break? 
  • With this understanding, what can a person do to affect their emotions in a way that helps them break their addiction?

Write your initial response in 3–4 paragraphs. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Assignment 2: Pavlov’s Dog: An Example of Classical Conditioning

Classical conditioning is an important theory of learning within the behavioral perspective of learning that you explored in Module 1. The key to classical conditioning is that we learn through association, which is quite different from operant conditioning in which we learn through consequence.

When Ivan Pavlov was studying the process of salivation in dogs, he made an accidental, but really important discovery—classical conditioning. He discovered that after pairing the appearance of the researcher with the delivery of food a number of times, the dogs began to salivate as soon as the researcher walked into the room even when he or she was not carrying any food.

Here is a list of the steps of the classically conditioned learning process:

Stimulus / Response

Event

Outcome
Neutral stimulus (NS) The researcher enters the room—prior to the dog learning that the researcher is associated with food. There is no response.
Unconditioned stimulus (UCS) Food—the dog naturally responds to the food.

No learning needed.
Unconditioned response (UCR) The dog salivates because of the food. The dog did not need to be taught to salivate.
Conditioned stimulus (CS) The researcher enters the room. Now, after being paired with the food, the appearance of the researcher has become a learned stimulus.
Conditioned response (CR) Salivation now occurs because of the researcher. The dog has now learned to salivate in response to the mere presence of the researcher.

Here is another example of the steps of the classical conditioning process:

You have moved into a new apartment building. The first time you take a shower happens to correspond with the time when someone flushes the toilet. As a result of this flushing, the water in the shower becomes very hot. Now, because of this experience, each time you hear the toilet flush, you jump out of the shower before the temperature of the water changes.

  • NS: Sound of the flushing of the toilet
  • UCS: Hot water
  • UCR: Jumping out of the shower because of the hot water
  • CS: Sound of the flushing of the toilet
  • CR: Jumping out of the shower because of the sound of the flushing toilet

Now, complete the following:

Part 1

Think of a classically conditioned response you have experienced and describe the process of learning this response (what was the process you went through in becoming classically conditioned in this response). Be sure to identify the following:

  • Neutral stimulus (NS)
  • Unconditional stimulus (UCS)
  • Unconditional response (UCR)
  • Conditioned stimulus (CS)
  • Conditioned response (CR)

Part 2

Address the following questions:

  • Describe a practical application that demonstrates this classically conditioned association from your own life. What function does this classically conditioned association serve?
  • Explain what would happen if you no longer responded to this conditioned stimulus.
  • Describe the manner in which generalization works to maintain classical conditioning.
  • Identify the stimulus that has been generalized or could be generalized in your classically conditioned response.

Analyzing Theories of Crime

You are an investigative reporter for a large news network. You are working on a news piece identifying how theories of crime explain specific crimes including the demographics of perpetrators and victims. You are required to make a thirty-minute presentation to your producers to convince them to run your story.

Choose a specific crime from the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program at the following:

Research this crime using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet. Be sure to include the UCR and other crime reports in your research

Based on your research, develop a presentation that addresses the following:

  • Define the crime. Include both the legal definition and others as necessary.
  • Summarize demographics of the crime for both the perpetrators and the victim. Be sure to cover the following:
    • Gender
    • Ethnicity
    • Socioeconomic characteristics
    • Other relevant diversity issues
  • Choose two theories of the causes of crime that have been discussed and analyzed so far in the course; apply those theories to the selected crime. (Some theories include Power-Control Theory, Reaction Formation Theory, Labeling Theory, General Strain Theory, Differential Opportunity) 
  • Be sure to cover the following:
    • Explain the type of each theory in detail.
    • Discuss the development of each theory and the main theorists associated with them.
    • Compare and contrast the two theories of crime selected. Discuss the ways in which they fit with the crime and the specific demographics associated with the crime.
  • Based on your research, develop your own hypothesis of the cause of this crime. Using the theories that you have chosen, you can develop your own “combination” theory.
  • Give valid reasons and scholarly, peer-reviewed sources in support of your theory.

You are allowed to present your theory in first person; however, be careful not to abuse this privilege.

Your presentation should include the following:

  • A title slide and a reference slide (these will not count towards the total number of slides).
  • At least five sentences of speaker notes for each section to clarify anything not included in the slides. (As this is a presentation the slides should cover the main points and the details should be covered in the speaker’s notes.) The speaker notes should be properly referenced.

Develop a 10–15-slide presentation in PowerPoint format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources
