Outline – Social Issue as the Behaviorist Sees It   Synthesis is the process of creating a new idea by analyzing multiple disparate concepts or notions to discern the common thematic or connecting principles among them. Synthesis of research is a process learned through time and practice. General Requirements: Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment: ·       Refer to the resource “Social Issue as the Behaviorist Sees It” attached to this assignment. This provides an format to be followed for this outline. ·       This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion. ·       Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments. The APA Style Guide is located in the Student Success Center. ·       Refer to Chapters 2-4 of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th ed.) for specific guidelines related to doctoral-level writing. These chapters contain essential information on manuscript structure and content, clear and concise writing, and academic grammar and usage. Directions: Using the resource “Social Issue as the Behaviorist Sees It,” construct an outline for a paper that will analyze a social concern through the lens of behaviorism. To complete the outline, you will do the following: 1.     Choose a social concern (e.g., prejudice/discrimination, women’s rights, terrorism, homelessness, etc.) and analyze it through a behavioral framework. What solutions can behaviorism offer? What limitations exist in a behavioral interpretation of the issue? 2.     Use the template provided (“Social Issue as the Behaviorist Sees It”) to develop an outline. Add sub-categories to the outline as necessary. The completed outline should identify your clear intent to synthesize information from the resources.

Before you can collect data to analyze for your final research paper, you needed to create a survey instrument for your participants. You have been working hard on this project since Week 7 to: Develop five (5) survey items about our topic of interest: the effects of race, ethnicity, and/or racist attitudes on impression formation. Develop three (3) demographic questions so that you can describe your sample. Develop a plan for how you will analyze data that you collect for each of these eight (8) items. By completing and passing this assignment, you have prepared yourself to conduct your own original research project that will demonstrate your ability to: Identify a researchable topic that can be supported by the appropriate literature. Select appropriate research designs to test hypotheses. Formulate testable research hypotheses. Apply appropriate analyses in the interpretation of statistical results. Demonstrate APA style effectively for a research report.

Guidelines: Include word count at the end of the paper Double-spaced, 12 point font Be sure to demonstrate that you understand the material by explaining key ideas (not just copy/pasting my notes) Giving your own examples help. So for example, you should give your own examples for higher/lower pleasures if you’re doing essay 1. Explain the reasoning behind the arguments, not just the conclusion. First essay 1. Present and explain Mill’s Utilitarianism. Be sure to explain his theory of rightness and value, and give an example that shows some action can be morally right. Then: Explain the potential objection that Mill anticipates: “It may be objected, that many who are capable of the higher pleasures, occasionally, under the influence of temptation, postpone them to the lower. But this is quite compatible with a full appreciation of the intrinsic superiority of the higher. Men often, from infirmity of character, make their election for the nearer good, though they know it to be the less valuable; and this no less when the choice is between two bodily pleasures, than when it is between bodily and mental. They pursue sensual indulgences to the injury of health, though perfectly aware that health is the greater good.” (p. 112, second column) Explain Mill’s response to this objection. Is Mill’s response good? Does it fit with his theory well? Second Essay A. What is “eudaimonia”? Why can’t eudaimonia be the life of pleasure, money- making, or the political life?

The goal of a comparative essay is to support an original argument by making connections across multiple sources. Doing so requires what we have referred to as synthesis. The writer of a comparative essay does not just regurgitate what others have said, but uses the similarities and differences in previous arguments made across multiple texts to give a new perspective to a question or area of research. The question you will answer in your comparative essay is: What is resistance? In the opening paragraph of your essay, you must present a thesis: a statement that concisely and explicitly conveys what your answer to the question will be for this essay. Note: there are an infinite number of ways to answer this question. But, you must stay focused on the ONE way that you want to answer the question for the purposes of this essay. Throughout the rest of the essay, you will need to build a strong argument for this answer that pulls from at least three of the sources we’ve read this semester. One of your sources to answer the question must be Binti. The other two sources can be any of the following: Amicae Aeternum, My Dungeon Shook (Baldwin), Letter from Representative John Lewis, Resilience/Mindset by Yeager & Dweck (2012), Types of Intolerance by Verkuyten et al. (2020), Black Angel, Kafka’s Last Laugh, Civil Wars (Jordan), Poem about Police Violence (Jordan), Politics of Emotion by Shields (2005) The use of quotes from the sources you use should be limited as I want to see your original reflection on the ideas from those sources. When you do use a quote, make sure to present it using advice from chapter 3 They Say/I Say. And, a quote should always have a page number. You should also take advantage of the templates from They Say/I Say to appropriately summarize, synthesize, and connect the parts of your argument. Chapters 1, 2, 4, 5, and 8 would be particularly helpful. Finally, the writing style of a comparative essay will be more formal than the writing style you used for your resistance letters. However, the reader should still be able to get a sense of your voice and creativity.  The essay should be approximately 4-5 pages, double spaced, Times New Roman, 12 point font, with one inch margins. References Binti book (by Nnedi Okorafor) and at least two other sources we have discussed from the list above

There are six main psychological perspectives: Psychodynamic, Behavioral, Cognitive, Humanistic, Socio-Cultural, and Biological. Read more about each psychological perspective here. If you were going to become a psychologist, which perspective would most appeal to you, and why? Which would least appeal to you, and why? After answering those questions, complete the activity Five Perspectives in Psychology which asks you to correctly identify each psychological perspective. While you’re reading each statement, think about which psychological perspective(s) you most agree with. Does your worldview align with any psychological perspective in particular? Any references to the textbook or other outside sources must be properly cited using APA-formatted in-text citations and a list of references at the end of the post. ttps://courses.lumenlearning.com/suny-hccc-ss-151-1/chapter/psychological-perspectives/ https://bconline.broward.edu/content/Term2021/464189-BEHVBEHS_PSY2012666102/Captivate/index.html

answer this questions 1. Do you believe that intelligence is a fixed trait, something you are born with, or do you believe it is a changeable trait, something that can be changed through experiences and practice and Why do you think that is? 2. What specific characteristics do you think makes a person highly intelligent? 3. What are some things that women should do when they become pregnant and during their pregnancy? What are some things that women should avoid during pregnancy? What advice would you give to a friend that just found out they were pregnant? 4. After reading the chapters, I want you to design your very own preschool. Let’s pretend that you have all the money in the in the world, and that you decided to open a preschool for kids between the ages of 3-5 years old. Let’s say that your school is open from 9-12pm each weekday. What would your typical school day be like? Address the physical, cognitive, and psychosocial needs of your kids in the activities you describe. For example, how would you address the physical needs of your students, would you have Yoga for kids or MMA cage fighting training? What would you do? How about cognitive building activities? So please describe your preschool, and of course, give it a very cool name! Have fun with this.

The concept of sex is surrounded by a plethora of social norms, religious restrictions, and moral taboo.  But why? Please share some of the sexual or moral taboos you have heard as well as erroneous information regarding sex.  What were they? Where did you learn them?  Did you believe them or not? How did you unlearn them if you did?

tereotypes, like bias, are a social phenomenon that fuels isms. Every culture has stereotypes. Part of understanding stereotypes more deeply requires us to answer such questions as “How are stereotypes formed?” “What attitudes, beliefs, or experiences maintain stereotypes?” and “How are stereotypes changed?” That is where research comes in. Unfortunately, it is hard to research a topic when research participants do not want to admit that they hold stereotypes, let alone use them to make life decisions. In this discussion, you will address religious stereotypes and create a research study that investigates those stereotypes within a religious culture of your choice. Finally, you will evaluate how cultural and research biases will affect your study. Instructions Your initial post will have two parts. First, complete the following: Identify two stereotypes about a specific religion or faith. Compare and contrast the stereotypes and their effects on the subjects of the stereotypes. Next, describe a design for a research study related to forensic psychology that investigates an issue related to a stereotype or is counter to a stereotype. You may investigate anything related to the faith or religion, and stereotypes. For example, if you were a chemical dependency counselor, you might investigate alcoholism in Jewish Americans. Explain, briefly, what your research study plans to investigate and why this is important. Articulate the cultural biases that may surface in your research and how you will manage or avoid them. Explain how will you recruit participants. Discern the types of research biases you will want to avoid in the study.
