Psychology

The information presented about different kinds of families is necessarily broad. There is as much, if not more, variety within types of families as there is between types. Students will write a 2-3 page, double spaced paper reflecting on the material presented and how it fits with what they know about those groups from their own experiences. Think about family, friends, acquaintances, neighbors and coworkers that may fit within the social and ethnic groups studied. How do they fit and/or not fit with the generalities? How did you feel as you studied the information? What is the value of studying groups in general terms? How will the information you learned help you in your future profession?

Activity:   Health Behavior Interview Assignment Interview someone that you know that engages in a negative health behavior. Examples of some negative health behaviors include, but are not limited to: tobacco use, eating fast food regularly, speeding, poor sleep habits, not wearing helmet on bike/scooter, not eating vegetables. Try to learn as much as possible about their engagement in this behavior. After you complete your interview, use the information that you collected to respond to this week’s discussion question. Be sensitive with your interview technique! The purpose of this exercise is NOT to make the individual feel guilty and/or stop them from doing this behavior! You are only trying to learn. Be respectful. Just ask, listen, and learn. IT IS IMPORTANT TO CHOOSE A TOPIC THAT IS NOT TOO SENSITIVE FOR THE INDIVIDUAL THAT YOU ARE INTERVIEWING. ADDITIONALLY, INTERVIEWEES SHOULD NOT BE PRESSURED TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. THIS ASSIGNMENT SHOULD NOT CAUSE ANYONE DISTRESS. Below are some potential questions to guide your interview: Do they know that the behavior is bad for their health?   Do they know why the behavior is bad for their health?   Have they experienced anything negative from engaging in the behavior?  What?  Anything positive?  Do their friends or family also engage in the behavior?   Do their friends/ family influence their choice to do this behavior?  How?   Do they think that this behavior is normal….”everyone does it”? When did they start doing this behavior?   Have they ever considered stopping?   Why have they not?   Are they breaking the law by doing this behavior? If so, are they scared of getting caught? Would getting caught stop them from doing the behavior? If their behavior involves substance use (tobacco, alcohol, illegal drugs), how easy is it to access the substance? Is their behavior costly? What would it take for them to stop doing the behavior? Once you did the interview qestions, please only answer the question below after reasding the activity on top!!!! The question below is the ASSIGNMENT!!!! The activity on top is only to sshow you what it is about!!! why do they do what they do?  Using one of the individual health behavior theories discussed in the text (i.e., The Health Belief Model, The Theory of Planned Behavior, or The Transtheoretical Model), attempt to explain the health behavior of the individual you interviewed.

Additionally, note what would need to change for this individual, according to your selected theory, in order for their behavior to change. Use book that is provided only no other sources please.

After reading Chapter 10 in the Cormier text, complete Application Exercise 10.4, “Self-Care,” on pages 236–237. Respond to the questions and describe your application experiences. Post your answers to this discussion. APPLICATION EXERCISE 10.4 Self-Care Questions that beginning helpers might revisit regularly in the service of developing and maintaining good self-care practices include the following: Do I meet my body’s needs for healthy nourishment over the course of the day? Do I make time for physical activity at least a couple of times per week? Do I take time to stretch and move about between clients or tasks? Do I take time to clear my mind between clients or tasks? Do I recognize when I am feeling stressed? Do I implement strategies for addressing stress? Do I meet my sleep needs most nights in terms of quantity and quality? Do I nurture close relationships in my personal life? Do I maintain a network of trusted colleagues with whom to consult? Do I have one or more persons to confide in or debrief with? Do I reach out to others when feeling anxious, worried, or stressed? Have I made room for humor in my life? Have I made room for play in my life? Do I have interests and hobbies outside my professional life? Have I allocated adequate time to engage in these leisure pursuits? Do I derive significant fulfillment from my work? Have I set boundaries that permit me to separate my personal and professional life spheres? Have I made time to be totally unplugged from technology? Have I identified short-term and long-term personal life goals? Do I have a plan for pursuing my personal goals? Have I identified short-term and long-term professional life goals? Do I have a plan for pursuing my professional goals? Do I regularly reaffirm a sense of passion and purpose across all life domains (so that there is more than a professional focus)? Have I recognized and accepted that I cannot be masterful in all areas of knowledge and skill in my helping profession even if I devote my whole career to this endeavor? Have I recognized and accepted that I will not be successful, to the degree that I’d like, with every client? Have I articulated a self-care plan? Do I review this plan periodically and revise it to reflect my current personal and professional life circumstances? If I were to have a conversation with a client about his or her self-care, what would we be discussing? Feedback Beginning helpers are encouraged to reflect on and explore options for addressing not only the no responses to these questions but also the yes responses. These and additional helper-generated questions could be constructed in a manner amenable to a rating scale format that would assist in the tracking of self-care. Alternatively, the questions might serve as a pre- and postmeasure, self-administered on either end of the implementation of a self-care plan comprising a manageable number of specific self-care goals.

Designing a Management System Imagine you are a behavior analyst who has just opened up a new practice. You are planning to hire three new registered behavior technicians (RBTs). As the owner, and the only behavior analyst at your organization, you are in charge of ensuring your new RBTs are highly trained, carry through with your behavior plans, and meet any other performance expectations (such as, turning in data sheets and collecting accurate data). Describe your process for training the employees, and justify your choices based on best practice in the literature. What will you cover in your first training sessions? How will you know that they have mastered the training objectives? Explain in detail how you will ensure the RBTs will follow through with the behavior plans (for example, use of fidelity checklists, frequency and duration of supervision sessions). What type of documentation will you use when conducting supervision sessions? How often will you observe the RBTs and for how long? How will feedback be delivered? Describe how you would set up a management system to ensure that your supervisees (RBTs, and those in training) continue to perform at a high level. What will you do to maintain ongoing supervision? Describe your system if performance issues arise. How will you assess the situation and decide on a plan of action?
