Psychology

I’ve attached a start to this assignment with a few sentences with the text information that this assignment is requiring. I can send copies of text information should you need it. THANKS YOU!!! Theoretical Applications I Please use the APA and ACADEMIC WRITING RESOURCES links located under the Resource tab. All assignments MUST be typed and double-spaced, in APA style and must be written at graduate level English. The content, conciseness and clarity of your answers will be considered in the evaluation of your work. You must use and integrate the material presented in the course text and cite your work according to APA format. Use of outside resources can be used to enhance the text information, but cannot replace the text. Respond to each question in approx 1-page per question. Total assignment should be 4-5 pages total plus a Title and Reference Page Do not copy the questions in your responses. See APA style on how to create Topic Headings.  Suggested Topic Headings follow each question.  You may use them or create your own.   Question One: The text discusses three main approaches to personality research:  case studies, experimental studies conducted in laboratory settings, and correlational studies.  If you were to conduct a research study today, which approach would you use and why? Suggested Topic Heading:   Personality Research   Question Two: It has been said that psychoanalytic theory suffers from a number of cultural biases due to the limitations in kinds of patients seen and the Victorian era from which the concepts were originally derived. Which concepts or parts of the theory do you think could become a particular target for arguments of cultural bias? Suggested Topic Heading:  Cultural Bias in Psychoanalytic Theory   Question Three: As you will see in subsequent chapters, many personality theorists developed ideas that differed markedly from those of Freud and the various neo-Freudian theorists.  What aspects of Freudian theory would you “least want to lose” in such developments – i.e., which features seem so important that they should be taken into account by any other personality theory?  Suggested Topic Heading: Positive Aspects of Freudian Theory   Question Four: Rogers proposed that the fundamental human motive is self-actualization: a positive, growth-oriented human motive.  That sounds like a very nice idea. And it is easy to think of cases in which people seem to be striving toward self-actualization.  But it naturally raises the question of how, in Rogerian theory, one could explain the personality of people who seem oriented toward evil rather than positively-oriented growth.  In other words, what about Hitler?  Mass murderers? Etc. How could one posit a self-actualization theory in the face of such cases?  Suggested Topic Heading:  Self-Actualization and Evil Assignment Outcomes Discuss historical and current theories of personality Identify factors relevant to culture and diversity in theories and interventions

This should be written in full sentences with an introduction and conclusion.   Develop your own idea for an experiment with a factorial design that you could do if you had unlimited resources. This experiment should be different than your group experiment or experiments we have discussed in class. Include an operational definition of your IVs and DV. Include the scale of measurement of the DV. State what your hypotheses are. Indicate which statistical test you should use to assess your hypothesis.

Diagnosing Disorders TOPIC: Respond to the following prompt: Pick one of the mental disorders you learned about in this module. Think of a fictional character who you think might fit, at least to some extent, that type of disorder. Consider cartoon characters, Disney princesses, favorite sitcom characters, etc. Do some more research on the disorder to write up a diagnosis. Explain which disorder the character may have, describe the disorder, then provide at least three evidences or examples of how or why that character meets the description of the mental illness. STEP 1 (due Wednesday 12/9): First, write a response with at least EIGHT substantial sentences, integrating concepts you learned from the textbook reading and other materials (include links when necessary). Providing empirical support for your comments would be helpful. Show that you can think critically on the topic by integrating your own thoughts, analysis, or experiences. STEP 2 (due Sunday 12/13): Return to the discussion to comment on at least ONE classmate’s post (in at least FIVE sentences). Expand on a classmate’s comments in a value-adding, topic-related way. Promote a collaborative, supportive community, and advance the dialogue through follow-up questions. Reply posts cannot be one-liners, off-topic posts, vague statements, unsupported opinions, inadequate explanations or simply say, “I agree” or “good job.” Make sure you have two posts total (Your initial counts as one).

Project #2: Ego Defense Mechanisms – submit on Blackboard by 10pm on the due date In your textbook (p. 353) and in the notes from class, you will find descriptions of defense mechanisms and other questionable forms of coping that we all use to some degree when faced with anxiety and stress. Six of them are listed below: a. Denial b. Projection c. Rationalization d. Displacement e. Regression f. Reaction formation Keep a record for a day or two of episodes in which you believe an individual has used one of the forms of coping listed. Among the sources you can use to gather such episodes are interactions with friends, conversations you might overhear, observations of your own behavior, television shows, or short stories or novels. Summarize each episode in a few sentences and identify the form of coping that was used by assigning a letter from the list above. After you have collected 6 episodes, consider the following questions: 1. Did any of the forms of coping occur more frequently than others? 2. Do you think the individuals you observed were aware of the coping technique they were using? 3. Was it easier to spot coping techniques used by others or your own?

write a 3- to 4-page typed, double-spaced article summary and critique. For each article, you will write a brief summary of the article (What was the research question?  What did they do to answer that question?  What were the results?), you will answer the questions listed on the website, and you will write a conclusion describing what you think are the strengths and weaknesses of the article and what would be a good research study to follow up this one.     The paper should begin with the APA-style reference for the article.  Then use the following headings:  Summary, Questions to Consider, Conclusions.  Within Questions to Consider, please retype the questions so that I don’t have to look them up for every student. Learning Objective: 16.3 Define the field of pediatric psychology and illustrate some of the major professional activities of pediatric psychologists. Show how pediatric psychologists help youths with chronic medical problems. Summary: This article reviews 28 research studies examining children’s psychological outcomes after intensive care stays. Results indicate that some, but not all, children experience psychological distress after hospitalization. Further research is necessary to fully understand the risk factors so that these can be addressed. Questions to Consider: The authors categorize children’s responses in four ways. How did the children describe their experiences? What types of negative effects do we see most commonly? How might a trauma model help in understanding this experience for children? What further research is required?   Link to article: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/1367493509102472

Instructions: Please answer four the following questions to the best of your ability,the assigned readings and/or any independent sources you may wish. Make sure that you answer one question about Yalom and one about Fromm. Please insure your answers are no less than 2 and no more than 4 double spaced type written pages in length (12 point font.) Your answers will be graded on content only, not on style or the mechanics of writing.      Irvin Yalom incorporates several important  features of Freud’s thinking about the unconscious mind, but rejects or modifies other. What elements of Freud’s work does he keep, and which does he reject, and why?   Irvin Yalom’s ideas about existential isolation borrow heavily from the thought of Heidegger, Buber and Erich Fromm. Discuss.   Stanley Milgram’s experimental studies of obedience to authority defied expectations and changed the way people thought about human nature. Describe his method, his findings, and the impact that they had on the practice of experimental social psychology. What were the critiques levelled at him by Diana Baumrind and Ian Nicholson?   What is “the authoritarian personality”? What are some of its most salient characteristics, and what social conditions promote the emergence of authoritarianism?   According to Erich Fromm, the meaning of the term “obedience to authority” depends entirely on what mode of authority we are talking about. What would Fromm say about Milgram’s experiment on obedience? What are the different modes of authority that Fromm enumerates in his work? What are their most salient characteristics? How do they impact human development, especially as regards the development of conscience and the capacity to think critically?   Fromm’s ideas about humanistic and authoritarian religion are closely related to his ideas about rational and irrational authority. How are these different religious orientations aligned with rational or irrational authority? What role do rational and irrational authority play in Judaism and Christianity historically (according to Fromm)? And in Buddhism?

In 2012, statistics in the United States indicated that state CPS agencies received 3.4 million referrals for child abuse and neglect. Of these, nearly 700,000 children were found to be victims of maltreatment: 18% were victims of physical abuse and 78% were victims of neglect (CDC, 2014). Child sexual abuse makes up roughly 10% of child maltreatment cases in the United States (CDC, 2014). The CDC considers sexual abuse at any age a form of violence. Child abuse of any kind can lead to an increased state of inflammatory markers in adulthood, as well as multiple physical illnesses and high-risk behavior such as alcoholism and drug abuse. If a PMHNP identifies child abuse, there may be a need to report the abuse to authorities. Once able to provide treatment, the PMHNP can be instrumental in reducing the long-term effects of child abuse.In this Discussion, you recommend strategies for assessing for abuse and analyze the influences of media and social media on mental health. You also evaluate the need for mandatory reporting of abuse.Post-What strategies wouldyou employ to assess the patient for abuse? Explain why you selected these strategies.How might exposure to the media and/or social media affect the patient?What type of mandatory reporting (if any) is required in this case? Why?NOTE: 5-6 EVIDENCED BASED SOURCES

Social Psychology Ministry Application. a.Purpose: An important part of working with people is understanding the internal responses that are influenced by external psychological factors, both in yourself and others. Therefore, it is important to adjust the environment of a person to help them cope well and become the best that they can be. For this assignment, the student will take the following scenario and analyze it from the perspectives of social psychology, health and stress, and biblical truth.
