Please Chapter 1 first and then answer below. Must be 3 paragraphs long. Adler discussed the importance of early recollections.  Discuss three or four of your earliest recollections and share with your group.  Then look for a theme that runs throughout each person’s other early recollections.  According to Adler’s notion, each of these early memories should relate to your current style of life.

I have an assignment with me conducting an interview. The only thing is I need the words elaborated more into a paragraph. 1. How long have you worked in the counseling psychology sector? I have been a counselor since 2006 I started in the education field. In 2015 I became a LPC. I left the school system and moved to Mental Health Rehab full-time in October of 2019. (2 paragraphs) 2. In your view how many sub- disciplines exist in the field of counseling psychology? It is impossible for me to give you an accurate answer to that question. The field is constantly changing. I have experience in educational, industrial/organizational, child, and general. (2 paragraphs) 3. Do you have any specialization in the field? (2 paragraphs)

In 2012 a respected sociology journal published a set of papers that concluded that gay and lesbian parents are inferior to heterosexual parents in terms of child outcomes, contradicting many earlier studies that showed equal or better outcomes The author [Regnerus] openly acknowledged that his center received $785,000.00 in funding from conservative Catholic Organizations such as Opus Dei who opposed same-sex marriage but he claimed that he had no such personal agenda. The findings of the research were widely published by the funding organizations as proof of the superiority of heterosexual, married, parents. Other popular and scholarly authors quickly noted that the paper had serious and obvious methodological errors that the editor of the journal seemed to overlook which invalidated the conclusions.  Despite these concerns, the paper was cited shortly afterwards by a federal judge in a case involving the rights of gay couples to marry. (1) Read the original paper yourself – link provided below – and see if you can spot errors in methodology.  Make sure you clearly note why each instance is problematic from a methodological perspective [review the chapter if you need to] (2) What, if any, is the lasting impact of the publication of this research?  Do you think it’s possible to retract an unscientific finding once it has been published? [consider the case of the invalidated research linking childhood inoculations to the development of autism] (3) Why do you think the federal judge used the findings in spite of the evidence showing that the research was flawed [he was aware of it]?  Has this ever happened to you?  Can you think of an instance when you kept believing in something despite being given evidence to the contrary?  Why do you think you continued to believe?  How did that make you feel?

The general aggression model is the most widely accepted model of aggression. In order to understand the general aggression model, it is very important to understand the components of the model; the factors (e.g., person, situation, social encounters) that serve as component parts of the whole model. For this task, you will reflect on what you have learned about the various social psychological theories of aggression this week. Select three components of the General Aggression Model (e.g., components part of person factors, situation factors, or social encounters), then create a PowerPoint presentation where your goal is to teach how each explains aggression. 1. Use the three components to prepare slides that discuss what you believe best explains why people become aggressive. 2. Prepare slides that discuss at least three assumptions that these components would make about the definition of aggression. Present an argument about whether you find that these assumptions are, in fact, in line with the definition/assumptions that you had of aggression before you started the course? a. If so, what have you learned new? b. If not, how has this model helped to enhance your assumptions of aggression? How? Incorporate appropriate animations, transitions, and graphics as well as “speaker notes” for each slide. The speaker notes may be comprised of brief paragraphs or bulleted lists. Support your presentation with at least two scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources may be included. Length: 12-15 slides (with a separate reference slide) Notes Length: 100-150 words for each slide Be sure to include citations for quotations and paraphrases with references in APA format and style where appropriate.

PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS! I DO NOT ACCEPT PAPERS WITH TYPOS OR THAT SOUNDS ANYTHING LESS THAN COLLEGE LEVEL. Identify two people or a caregiver (as in the case of an infant), who represent two different stages of the life span—ideally, two who do not identify with your own current stage of life span development—and set up an brief 15–20 minute interview with them for this assignment. For example, select an adolescent and a senior in late adulthood, or the parent of a newborn and a child in late childhood.  Conversationally interview these two people in order to compare what you have learned here in class, through the textbook, lectures, and videos, with their perception of what it is actually like to be in their stage of life. Interviews may be done via phone, Skype, email, etc. Take notes or record (with permission) your interview.   Below are some suggestions for your conversation. You do not need to cover all of these topics in your paper, but they will help you shape your discussion. Be sure to note which topics you discuss. Which life span period do they think they belong to (offer them the names, not the ages, of the life span). For example, ask, “Would you consider yourself to be a part of young adulthood or middle adulthood?” Ask them to explain why.  Tell them a little bit about the chronological life span they belong to and ask them if they can relate to the characteristics associated with that period.  Why or why not? Point out specific facts or studies you learned about for their specific stage of the life span and ask them their thoughts. Do they agree or disagree? Do they have a similar experience they can share?  Explain nature versus nurture and ask them which one they feel influenced them most. If appropriate to the life stage, ask if they ever experienced: midlife crisis, ageism, gender bias. Show one of the videos and ask your interviewee what their thoughts are. Do they agree or disagree? Ask them what advice they would give to someone entering their stage of the life span and explain why. What challenges do they face at their life stage? Do they feel these challenges are common among others within the same life stage, or do they feel unique in these challenges? in your write up, tell us the gender, age, identified life stage of development, and cultural identification(s) of the individuals you interviewed. Be sure to maintain each individual’s privacy and confidentiality when asked to do so. Summarize the topics you discussed and share your interviewees’ responses (you may paraphrase and quote). In your paper, after you have shared what the interviewees discussed, share your thoughts on the process of talking with someone about their place in the life span. Did you learn anything from your conversations that you did not learn in the academic materials? How accurate do you think psychologists have been in identifying and classifying the different life stages? Explain. Your paper should be 2–4 pages long not including the title and reference pages. Be sure to include a brief introduction and a conclusion to your paper. Use current APA Style throughout, include a title page, cite your interviews parenthetically within the paper, and include a reference page for any other resources you use, such as your text or course materials.
