How does analyzing the relationship between history, culture, and wellness have an influence on your discipline of study, Psychology?

Discussion

Over the past two weeks, our readings and discussions have been focused on establishing a baseline for understanding wellness. In this module, we’ll begin our tour through the four lenses, beginning with history. As we dive into the four lenses, keep in mind that each lens is framed as a way of seeing the issue and is not necessarily tied to the associated discipline. So, looking through the historical lens isn’t just about History Channel documentaries—it’s also about how you use the lens to understand the past and present. As you write your initial post, answer the following questions:

· In what ways does looking through the history lens enhance your understanding of wellness?

· Consider a current event in the news that has a historical counterpart. How does looking through the history lens influence how you perceive both the current and historical events? Please share a news link to your events.

· How does analyzing the relationship between history, culture, and wellness have an influence on your discipline of study, Psychology?

EARTHQUAKE SURVIVOR: FRAIL ELDERLY 2

 

This paper is adapted from the Psychological First Aid Field Operations Guide Second

Edition published by the National Child Traumatic Stress Network/National Center for PTSD

in conjunction with Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMSHA) and

the Robert Wood Foundation.

Nature of the Disaster

An earthquake is a sudden violent shaking of the earth’s surface, caused by the shifting

of two blocks of the earth’s crust that suddenly slip past one another and pull apart. This

occurs are pressure builds up over many months and years, Stebnicki (2017). It is a natural

disaster that pose serious threats to the physical and psychological health to individuals of all

ages, cultural/ethnic backgrounds, and socioeconomic classes. The affect that is experienced

by individuals is influenced by developmental, situational, existential, interpersonal and

spiritual factors.

I have selected to complete a treatment for a frail elderly person, age 81 years of white

anglo-saxon descent. Mrs. Jennings is a widow of 18 months. The ratio of elderly males to

females ages 80 to 84 years is 53 to 100; females out live men almost 2 to 1 in this age

category, Cavanaugh and Blanchard-Fields (2006). Lousie Jennings, a widow whose

husband died approximately one year ago. She currently resides with her daughter age 55

years, who is recently divorced. To ensure her safety during the day, Louise attends an adult

care facility, while her daughter is at work. Louis suffers from osteoarthritis; a chronic

condition that has greatly impaired her mobility. She is also beginning to show sign of

Alzheimer’s disease. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, 2017 Alzheimer’s Facts and

Figures report, approximately 43% of persons ages 75-84, and 38% those age 85 years and

older suffer from this disease. Despite her mobility issues, Mrs. Jennings is quite capable of

performing most activities in daily living. The can still bathe, clothe, and feed herself Jacobs

(2016). Additionally, she carries out instrumental activities in daily living such as using the

telephone, self-administering medication and keeping a schedule Jacobs (2016). Her husband

died after a long illness of lung cancer, contracted after working in a manufacturing plant for

40 years.

Eight Core Actions of Psychological First Aid

Contact and Engagement

Goal- respond to contact from/or initiate contact with Mrs. Jennings.

Observe Mrs. Jennings first before approaching her.

Introduce myself to Mrs. Jennings and describe my role as a psychological first aid

responder.

Inquire about Mrs. Jennings immediate needs.

Ensure that there is adequate privacy to protect confidentiality of Mrs. Jennings

personal information. This also demonstrates respect.

Speak to Mrs. Jennings in soft calm voice.

Safety and Comfort

Goal-Ensure the immediate safety of Mrs. Jennings and provide physical and emotional

comfort.

Ensure that Mrs. Jennings is out of physical danger by placing her in an area that is

quiet and hopefully near the restroom due to her osteo-arthritis (it would be ideal to

assign an attendant to assist persons with mobility difficulties).

An important building block of social cognition is the “schema.” In this first section of your assignment, address the following: · Define a schema and discuss the purpose of schemas

Social Cognition

 

Purpose: Social cognition involves thinking about other people and the self. In this assignment, you will gain a deeper understanding of how people learn about themselves and other people in terms of schemas and self-schemas.

 

Assignment Instructions: Your assignment is divided into two major parts. The first part explores the function of schemas in general, and the second part reviews the function of self-schemas.

 

Section 1: Schemas

 

An important building block of social cognition is the “schema.” In this first section of your assignment, address the following:

 

· Define a schema and discuss the purpose of schemas

· Review the three modes of social learning and provide a personal example of each mode in your own life.

· Compare and contrast “assimilation” and “accommodation”

· Explain why assimilation or accommodation is more likely to occur when people receive new information about a person.

· Review some of your beliefs about people you know. Were these beliefs formed through assimilation, accommodation, or a combination of both? Do you think that your expectations now influence how you respond to these people?

 

Section 2: Self-concept

 

When you are asked “Who are you?”, you typically answer this question by mentally accessing your self-concept. To better understand your personal mental map, complete the Twenty Statements Test shown in your textbook (e.g. I am (please fill in the blank) ______________).

 

On a piece of paper or in a Word file, list 20 words that describe you.

 

Next, organize these self-descriptions into an image that somehow represents you such as a word cloud, a word collage, or other visual representation of yourself. Create this image on a computer or by hand. (If you create the image by hand, take a picture of yourself with the creation to upload for your instructor.)

 

Below your image, address the following questions:

· What are the most important aspects of your self-concept in the image you created, and how do those aspects influence your behavior?

· How does the self-concept develop and change over time?

· Consider people you know in terms of self-complexity. Some people have complex self-concepts and some have simple self-concepts. What effects do these differences seem to have on their feelings and behavior?

· How are your thoughts, feelings, and behavior influenced by your private and public self-consciousness?

 

Reminders:

· Follow APA guidelines to format your response

· Support factual information and assertions with credible and/or scholarly sources.

· Use in-text citations and include a references page – APA format

Describe the general rationale behind using post hoc tests (i.e., when they are used and why).

/in /by

Consider the different post hoc tests discussed in the readings and respond to the following:

Describe the general rationale behind using post hoc tests (i.e., when they are used and why).
One of the advantages of using an ANOVA (compared to using t-tests) is also a disadvantage—using an ANOVA makes it necessary to use post hoc tests if there is a significant main effect. We use a post hoc test because there is one specific advantage in using an ANOVA. Explain why using an ANOVA naturally leads to the need to have post hoc tests (hint: consider what you are examining when you conduct a post hoc analysis).
Conducting a post hoc test is similar to conducting multiple t-tests. As a result, it would seem natural to want to bypass the ANOVA and just use repeated t-tests. Explain why this approach is not necessarily a good idea and why an ANOVA followed by a post hoc analysis is beneficial.
Describe an experimental hypothesis and explain which post hoc test you would use if you find a significant overall effect. Include in your explanation the pros and cons of each test in making your decision.
Justify your answers with appropriate reasoning and research from your textbook and course readings. Start reviewing and responding to at least two of your classmates as early in the week as possible. You can ask technical questions or respond generally to the overall experience. Be honest, clear, and concise. Always use constructive language, even in criticism, to work toward the goal of positive progress. Using questions and seeking clarifications are good ways to make your reviews substantive!
