Functional Analysis Assignment.

/in /by

Here are the files and instructions for the Functional Analysis Assignment.

In this assignment, you will complete a MAS and FAST and functional analysis for a hypothetical child named “Stacy”. The final project should contain three graphs (MAS graph, FAST graph, and a functional analysis graph). Be sure to read additional information that is in the document entitled, ” FBA.doc” as it contains the data needed for this assignment.

Be sure to do the following:

1. Calculate the results for the MAS, FAST, and FA. The data for the FA are found in the document that says “FBA.doc”. ( DIRECTIONS FOR THE FBA:

1. Calculate the Results of the FAST and MAS for Stacy Evans

2. Graph the Results of the above indirect assessment for Stacy

a) Use a Bar graph for displaying the data

b) Include labels for the X and Y Axis

c) Include a legend

d) Do not include grid lines

3. Calculate the Percentage of Intervals for Tantrum Behavior for Stacy with the

data provided below

4. Graph the Functional Analysis according to the following guidelines:

a) The X Axis should be labeled as Sessions

b) The Y Axis should be labeled as Percentage of Intervals

c) Include a Legend

d) Graph the data of the four conditions in one graph

e) Do not use color for the graphs.

f) Each data path should have a different symbol (i.e- square, circle, etc.)

g) Do not use grid lines

4. Include a Treatment Plan/Behavior Intervention Plan for Stacy upon the results of the indirect assessments and the functional analysis

5. The Treatment plan/BIP should contain Proactive Strategies (Things to do to avoid the tantrums), Replacement Behaviors, and Consequence Strategies (How to respond when a tantrum occurs). The Treatment plan should be at least 1 full page. You are allowed to make up your own strategies based upon the results of the FBA.

6. The final document should include the three graphs, an interpretation of the results (at least 1 paragraph), a summary of the treatment plan (at least 1 page).)

2. Make a graph for the MAS, FAST and the functional analysis. Please see the document (“Example of MAS and FA graphs.doc”) for an example of what your final graph should look like. Also, be sure to include the graphs into the paper. So the final paper should be one document with the graphs embedded into the document.

3. In the paper, be sure to provide an analysis of the function or functions of the behavior. In other words, you should include an interpretation of the results of the indirect assessment and the functional analysis.

4. Develop a treatment plan based upon the results that include the following 3 sections in the treatment plan: proactive strategies, reactive/consequence based strategies, and replacement behaviors (at least one page)

Include the Following Headings:

Introduction and Background Information ,Indirect Assessments/Graphs,Summary of Indirect Assessments,Functional Analysis/Graphs,Summary of Functional Analysis, Proactive Strategies, Replacement Behaviors, Consequence Strategies.

Breakdown of Points:Introduction and Background Information (5 points) ,Indirect Assessments/Graphs (5 points),Summary of Indirect Assessments (5 points),Functional Analysis/Graphs (10 points),Summary of Functional Analysis (5 points), Proactive Strategies (10 points), Replacement Behaviors (10 points), Consequence Strategies (10 points).In addition, you will be graded 5 points of Punctuation, grammar, and professional writing

In the Introduction: Be sure to include the reason for the referral, information about the client, operational definitions, etc.

Summary of Proactive Strategies of treatment plan:In this section, you should summarize how you will avoid/prevent the maladaptive behavior from occuring

Summary of Replacement Behaviors of treatment plan: Inthis section, you should summarize the functionally equivalent replacement behaviors

Summary of Consequence Behaviors of treatment plan- In this section, you should summarize how you will respond if the maladaptive behavior occurs

Review Chapter 12 in the course text,Gender: Psychological Perspectives.

Consider the following questions, using the Week 6 Optional Resources or other resources of your choosing: What is the workplace like, and how might workplace conditions, requirements, and/or environmental factors influence or be influenced by each gender? Is the field typically a male- or female-dominated one? Why? Is there a salary difference between the genders?

Internal or External Locus of Control

/in /by
Module 8 Self-Reflection (Worth 30 points)The purpose of this assignment is to explore anger expression and also to explore locus of control.

Learning Objectives: 3d, 4a, and 4b

For this assignment, you will take two brief, online measurements. Because they are online measurements, please do not read deeply into the results. Instead, online measurements are quick “estimates” with limited statistical validity and limited statistical reliability.

Anger and Anger Management

Step 1: Click on and complete the Anger Test by answering and scoring the questions.

Step 2: Thoughtfully answer the following questions related to the Anger test you completed:

  • Explain your results.
  • Describe the ways in which you tend to express anger. Integrate at least *two* concepts from the assigned readings. (Textbook 8.3 addresses culture and emotion.)
  • Discuss at least *three* effective coping strategies you either implement or plan to implement when you experience a high level of anger (anger reactive response) or avoid experiencing anger, even when anger is warranted (anger avoidant response).

Internal or External Locus of Control

In 1984, Julian Rotter set forth his Expectancy Theory, which suggests that learning creates thoughts or “expectancies” that guide our behavior. Furthermore, our “expectancies” are also influenced by how rewards and punishments are controlled.

If you believe that expectancies are controlled by your own efforts, then you have an internal locus of control. In other words,your own effort controls the outcome of a situation.“I did well because I studied hard” reflects an internal locus of control.

If you tend to believe that rewards or punishments are controlled by factors externalof you, such as luck, then you are demonstrating an external locus of control. In other words, you attribute outcomes to situations from which you have no control.“I did well because I got lucky” reflects an external locus of control.

You can have a combination of both, especially in different situations. However, our thinking tends to be dominated by one or the other.

Step 3: Click on and complete the Locus of Control Test.

You will see a prompt to allow “Scripted Windows,”which you can temporarilyallow.Scores range from 0 – 13. A high score indicates an external locus of control, and a low score indicates an internal locus of control.

Alternate Scoring Method:If your test did not score your responses, it will display “NaN” in the area that should display your score. If this occurs, you can eitherlaunch a different web browser and copy/paste theurl for the testand take the test. If that does not work, please click the following to score your Locus of Control Test: Alternative Scoring Method.

Step 4: Thoughtfully answer the following questions related to the Locus of Control test you completed:

  • Explain your results, including if you have an internal or an external locus of control.
  • How might your locus of control be affecting your life, personally and academically?
  • What are the strengths and weaknesses of an internal locus of control?
  • What are the strengths and weaknesses of an external locus of control?
  • Explain at least one situation in which you tend to display an internal locus of control.
  • Explain at least one situation in which you tend to display an external locus of control.
