Psychology

Scenario: Imagine are you are community health educator. As part of your job duties, you must create and present presentations for the public on various health trends and topics. Your manager has asked you to create a presentation (using PowerPoint or Prezi) defining managed care and explaining the different types of managed care plans described in this lesson.If you use Prezi, please paste the URL for your presentation on this page and submit this file.Be sure your presentation:Presents the required information about managed care (10 points)Includes a title slide and resources slide (3 points)Uses at least 2 resources (one can be your textbook) (2 points)Is at least 10 slides (including title slide and resources slide) (5 points)Has at least 3 bullet points per slide s and is no longer than 50 words per slide (3 points)Includes at least one visual (a relevant picture, graph or video) (2 points)Uses a design slide that is visually appealing and makes your presentation easy to read and understand. (3 points)Is structured in a logical sequence (2 points)Uses correct grammar, punctuation, capitalization, etc. (5 points) Save your file as a PowerPoint presentation (.pptx).Include the term Care and your Last Name when saving your file. Example: Care_Smith.pptUpload your completed document using the Browse button, and then click the Submit button.

For this assignment, you will submit a profile of a serial offender that you will be selecting on your own. You can choose an offender discussed in the text, online, from other books, or any other resource (at the disclosure of the professor).Once you select your offender, you will:Discuss if the offender fits the common profile of the serial murder offender. This requires much more than providing a biography of the serial killer.Apply a typology used in the text and apply it to the offender. In doing so, explain how the offender aligns with the typology.Discuss how the particular offender’s crimes were solved (if applicable: if they were unresolved, discuss this, too);and the resolution of the case.Cite sources using APA format. There is no required length for this paper. However, it must be comprehensive and fulfill all necessary requirements.

The assignment is pretty easy but will test what you have learned this semester. You are to write a paper (minimum of 2000 words) to define who you are and how you got to be who you are today. You are to use the textbook a minimum of ten times and you can include outside research. You will be graded on your ability to make connections that are theoretical and substantial that define your personality and the related developmental milestones which led you to that direction. Please note this paper is not for everyone, and if reliving areas of your past or synthesizing the material at a high level causes you discomfort – please write the research paper. How the paper is graded (Final Paper Rubric) “C” (70-79%) papers generally include: Writing between 2000-2200 words Using the textbook ten times Including limited theoretical models Does not use a variety of textbook uses (But still uses the mandatory 6 chapters) Does not include outside research Describes development but does not explain why development occurs “B” (80-89%) papers generally include: Writing longer papers than 2000-2200 words (Closer to 2500-2700 words) Using the textbook more than ten times (12-15 on average) Integrating more theoretical models Shows a good variety of textbook uses (Uses 7-8 different chapters, and a good variety of information) May include outside research but not really relevant to answering “why” – answers “what” Describes development but does not explain development in a substantial way which shows critical thinking. “A” (90-100%) papers generally include: Writing longer papers than 2500-2700 words (Closer to 3000 or more words) Using the textbook more than ten times (16 or more on average) Shows a strong foundation of multiple theoretical models of the paper Showing a complete understanding of multiple topics in the textbook (9 or more different chapters or more used) Includes outside research that helps to answer “why” instead of just “what” Describes and explains development throughout the lifespan Other areas of deduction Writing under 2000 words will be a strong deduction. Writing between 1900-1999 words will be a 5% deduction, 1800-1899 words will be a 10% deduction – and so on as low as the paper goes. This deduction will be right off the top of the paper – so if you write 1000 words and your 1000 words fit what would otherwise be a 70% paper – you would receive 70% of 50% – which is 35% of the grade. Your paper must be a minimum of 2000 words with no exceptions. I have the option of deleting long quotes and “fluff” when determining word count. Your paper must include a minimum of six different chapters used in the textbook. If your paper focuses on only one chapter (i.e. personality disorders, drugs, personality, or development) and you write your whole paper on just one chapter – there will be a significant deduction of up to half of the final grade. Inaccurate information can be up to a letter grade deduction per inaccurate information stated. For instance, if you are writing about classical conditioning and you get the terminology wrong – that is a deduction. Several students have written a paper about other people and never talked about themselves. You will not pass this paper if you do not write about yourself and your development. You’re welcome to bring other people into your paper (i.e. if you dated someone who is bi-polar) – but the focus of your paper (51% of your paper) should be about you and your development. If you don’t want to write about yourself – write the research paper. Using quotes or fluff to get you over the 2000 words will be deleted. I had a student once write nearly 300 words about how he or she didn’t know what to say in the paper. This will not be allowed. If you ramble to fill space or quote long websites to fill space – I will delete it and count the words as if it wasn’t there. (This only happens about 1-2% of the time – it’s not a common thing) If you are going to use an outside source, you must properly cite it by saying “According to XYZ.com” and then put anything that you got directly from that website in quotes. Unintentional plagiarism could result in stylistic deductions. Intentional plagiarism could result in the paper being referred to the Dean of Students, and upon being found guilty – a 0 could be issued on the paper. When using a theory – using multiple parts of a theory counts as using the theory once. For instance, take Erikson’s eight stages. Even if you describe throughout your paper all eight stages (which is a good thing) – it will only count as one of your ten textbook uses. Students in the past have written a paper applying their life through Erikson’s stages using 6 or 7 of the stages. This is great; however, when you are counting uses – count this as one use. Using less than ten references will result in a huge deduction. I had a student write a 5,000 word paper once and use the textbook once. This is not a psychology paper at that point – it is an English paper. In general, you can expect a 20 point deduction above and beyond what grade you would have normally had for each use of the textbook not made. If the quality of your 10 textbook uses is not up to par and they are so random that it is clear you didn’t learn anything this semester (i.e. most of your textbook uses talks about something completely irrelevant like survey research and the history of psychology) – I may at my discretion lower your grade despite technically being in a “C” category. Writing your paper and ignoring major areas of your life will also result in deductions. Let’s say you are writing an autobiography and you write a detailed paper until you are 12 – and then just quit writing the paper – that will be a significant deduction as well. Your paper should be complete and not just focus on one or two areas. In general – most of these things do not apply to most of the papers – and if you are worried about any of them – remember, you have the option of completing your paper a week early and having me “pre-grade” it. Most of the time when these things occur – it is students who wait until the last minute and haven’t learned a lot this semester who try to put together a “passing paper” so I have all of these different notes in case one of these enterprising young students tries to challenge the grade saying “well, I did everything in the “C” grade category” without actually showing they’ve learned anything. This is your final exam for the course and it should show cumulative learning.

Step 2 is where the fun begins! We are going to get started writing and developing the “bones” of your research paper. I don’t expect you to have this perfect right off the bat. The whole purpose of dividing your paper into multiple stages before the final submission is to give you a chance to make mistakes. I think a lot of us procrastinate with writing because we feel overwhelmed by not knowing where to begin. Steps 1-5 are “low stakes,” meaning that they are not worth a large part of your final grade. Each step is an opportunity for you to build on your ideas, make improvements based on my feedback, and revise and clarify your thoughts so that you have a beautifully written finished product! I am here to help at every stage.In Step 1, you collected five peer-reviewed, scholarly articles describing original research conducted within the field of psychology. For Step 2, you will develop your ability to assess claims based on the Three Claims, Four Validities framework in your text. You will begin by analyzing one article following the instructions below. In the next phase, Step 3, you will add two more articles to the paper following the same guidelines, creating one cohesive Literature Review of three somewhat related articles.By now you should have read through each of your five articles. Choose the one that you feel you understand the best. I know these articles can be full of technical information that may be a bit confusing, but since we only work on one paper in this class, you have plenty of time to read them carefully, research confusing terms, and ask me for help if you need it. It is very important that the articles you select for the literature review be original research studies. You can review Step 1 instructions and resources for clarification on this, but one major hint is that the article will likely have some form of the following sections: an abstract, a literature review/ introduction, Participants, Methods/ Measures, Results/ Analysis, and Discussion. It will also have a long References list at the end. Here’s an example (Links to an external site.) of what I mean.Step 2 Content1. Briefly summarize the research study.Article summaries flow best if they first discuss the reason the researchers sought to conduct their study (goals), briefly describe how they carried it out (methods/design), and then wrap up with what was discovered (findings/ conclusions). Scientific writing should be straightforward and concise. It isn’t easy to summarize a lot of information into few words, but that is your goal here. Summaries should be about a half-page.Summary Checklist:state researcher’s hypotheses/study’s purposeconcise description of the methodologies usedsummary of findings/conclusionsdiscuss whether the main conclusion is a frequency, association, or causal claim (consider both the methods used and the conclusions made when trying to determine the type of claim); this will help guide you in discussing the four validities.2. Address each validity for the study as it relates to the claim made.Remember that you are being asked to scrutinize, not criticize, the research based on each of the four main validities described in Chapter 3. Demonstrate to me that you understand what aspects of participant recruitment and selection, research design and methodology, and analysis of statistical findings are contributing to and strengthening the study’s validities. You should also demonstrate your ability to PRIORITIZE these validities based on the type of claim being made. I highly recommend referencing Chapter 3 of the textbook, including the “Working It Through” section on page 81, to help you with this part of the assignment.Discussion of the validities is the “meat” of your literature review. That is, you should spend more time on this section (and it should eventually be longer) than the article summary section.Three goals in discussing each validity:Demonstrate to me that you understand what that particular type of validity measures;Discuss the methods/ aspects of the study’s design that address that particular type of validity;Be straightforward in explaining why an aspect of the study addresses that particular validity AND why that particular validity is or isn’t a priority based on the claims being made.Remember that you can say something, anything!, about each of the validities even if they are not a priority or addressed in the design. Here are a few things that might be relevant to your study that you should include in each subsection:Construct Validityremind readers of each of the variables analyzed in the study; identify each variable as either independent and dependent, or predictor and criterion variables; describe how each variable is manipulated/ measured/ operationally definedexplain why the method of measurement used contributes to the study’s construct validitystate, why construct validity is/, is not a priority for this type of claimExternal Validitydescribe participant recruitment and the demographics of the sampleexplain the population that the researcher(s) hope to generalize their findings toshare why you think the sampling method contributes to the external validity

Objective: The purpose of this journal is to reflect on the benefits and challenges of disagreements as it applies to Step Two in the W.I.S.E. Approach to Critical Thinking.Re-read chapter 2 carefully https://brytewave.redshelf.com/library/Watch the TED talk by Margaret Heffernan: Dare to Disagreehttp://www.ted.com/talks/margaret_heffernan_dare_to_disagreeIn 250-300 words, explore how using the W.I.S.E approach can help navigate a disagreement. Think about professional disagreements that have come in your career. If you are not yet working in your goal career, feel free to talk with someone in that career and ask about a conflict that has happened. Or, think of a conflict that has arisen at your place of employment. The conflict need not have been resolved successfully! You may have a story of where things went badly.NOTE—disagreement is to be professionally related, not personality related.

175 word minimum. 1 APA style reference. Please further discussion the below response by commenting on how did group think play into all of this? Mercedes McVeigh This event is quite devastating. Not only because seven innocent and dedicated people died, but because of the error and lack of ethical decision making on NASA, MTI, as well as Congress. With such a huge as well as dangerous mission, there should have been measures taken where double and triple checking every component of the take off should have occurred. If anything, this excerpt just showed how money rules everything in this world. I have seen it first hand in the medical field and it is quite horrifying that scientists would be pressured like that when it is possible that our world might depend on space travel and findings. Something I have taken away from this reading, that I can certainly apply to my future ethical decision making, is not to be pressured to do anything that can cause harm to anyone or myself regardless of the consequences. Also, speaking up when something is very wrong while no one else is. Being aware of surroundings and checking my work space as well as planning ahead for anything to happen. This was a very unfortunate event and it is imperative that safety is always implemented for any life.

1. Define the feminization of poverty, as referenced in Women and Disasters. How does this intersect with age as a vulnerability factor for women? How might this look different globally vs. domestically?2. Based on the personal narratives presented from Hurricane Katrina, how does physical disability impact women during disasters? How do feminist frameworks help us to better understand visible vs. invisible disabilities?What considerations should be made in planning and recovery?

NIMBY is a concept that describes the negative attitudes against a project that benefits the greater community. This mentality is one in which even though people are generally supportive of a project that will benefit the greater community, they don’t want to suffer the burden of bearing the cost(s) of the project. In terms of power generation, one of the biggest reasons against power plants, especially wind farms, is “visual intrusion.” Opponents of projects like these don’t want an eyesore as well as any noise, negative impacts on wildlife and displaced agricultural land. Something else to consider is whether or not the project will have an effect on property values which can serve to bolster NIMBY sentiment.Having this mindset affects power delivery in that residents are forgoing access to more reliable power in favor of maintaining aesthetics or reasons like those listed above. This attitude halts progress and can ultimately waste money if proposed projects in an area where they have to jump through hoops to get local approval. Look at the Cape Wind Project for example, which was initially proposed in 2001 but died by litigation 16 years and 100 million dollars later.Boyle, K. J., Boatwright, J., Brahma, S., & Xu, W. (2019). NIMBY, not, in siting community wind farms.Resource and Energy Economics,57, 85–100. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.reseneeco.2019.04.004
