1. Group Psychotherapy

Cohesiveness does not equal comfort. Unless hostility is openly expressed and managed by the therapist persistent covert hostile attitudes may hamper the cohesiveness and effect interpersonal learning. If hostility is not addressed, it will seep out in indirect ways. Unaddressed hostility can cause people to stop talking, and when people stop talking, people quit. When people quit group, there is no group, no talking, and no change. How would the therapist encourage group cohesiveness and attendance? 250 words

Pregnancy and Childbirth in Arab Culture

/in /by

Group B Discussion –

Arab Culture

COLLAPSE

Pregnancy and Childbirth

Today, health care providers in the U.S. rely heavily on a biomedical model when considering the interaction of a developing child and its mother. However, even a biomedical model is culturally influenced. Different cultures have different ideas about when a developing child should be considered a baby as opposed to a fetus. Cultural groups have different ideas about what a mother should eat and the influence she has on a developing baby’s emotions, physical health, and personality. Culture also informs viewpoints on the inherent dangers of childbirth, the presence of a midwife or physician, and what gender a caregiver should be.

In this Discussion, you examine these issues through the lenses of different U.S. immigrant cultures and how a health psychology professional might educate medical personnel on the culture’s beliefs. For your assigned immigrant culture, explore the influence of the culture, immigrant status, language barrier issues, and socioeconomic status on pregnancy and childbirth. Consider what recommendations you might offer to medical staff to help them understand the cultural considerations of your assigned population.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 4 an explanation of three ways in which the culture you have been assigned influences pregnancy and childbirth. Then provide three recommendations that you might make to the medical staff to help them be more culturally competent and sensitive when helping a woman and her partner through pregnancy and childbirth. Explain the importance of each recommendation. Use the Learning Resources and other current literature to support your response.

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

Discussion: Correlation and Bivariate Regression

/in /by

Discussion: Correlation and Bivariate Regression

Similar to the previous week’s Discussion, this Discussion assists in solidifying your understanding of statistical testing by engaging in some data analysis. This week you will once again work with a real, secondary dataset to construct a research question, perform a correlation and bivariate regression model, and interpret the results.

Whether in a scholarly or practitioner setting, good research and data analysis should have the benefit of peer feedback. For this Discussion, you will post your response to the hypothesis test, along with the results. Be sure and remember that the goal is to obtain constructive feedback to improve the research and its interpretation, so please view this as an opportunity to learn from one another.

To prepare for this Discussion:

  • Review this week’s Learning Resources and media program related to regression and correlation.
  • Review Magnusson’s web blog found in the Learning Resources to further your visualization and understanding of correlations between two variables.

Magnusson, K. (n.d.). Welcome to Kristoffer Magnusson’s blog about R, Statistics, Psychology, Open Science, Data Visualization [blog]. Retrieved from http://rpsychologist.com/index.html

As you review this web blog, select New d3.js visualization: Interpreting Correlations link, once you select the link, follow the instructions to view the interactive for interpreting correlations. This interactive will help you to visualize and understand correlations between two variables.

Note: This is Kristoffer Magnusson’s personal blog and his views may not necessarily reflect the views of Walden University faculty.

Construct a research question using the General Social Survey dataset, which can be answered by a Pearson correlation and bivariate regression.

By Day 3

Use SPSS to answer the research question. Post your response to the following:

  1. What is your research question?
  2. What is the null hypothesis for your question?
  3. What research design would align with this question?
  4. What dependent variable was used and how is it measured?
  5. What independent variable is used and how is it measured?
  6. If you found significance, what is the strength of the effect?
  7. Explain your results for a lay audience; explain the answer to your research question.

Be sure to support your Main Post and Response Post with reference to the week’s Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA Style.
