Assignment: Application of Theories Attribution theory is one of the hallmarks within the field of social cognition. Theories such as Heider’s naïve psychology theory, Jones and Davis’ correspondent inference theory, and Kelley’s covariation model provide seminal contributions to this field. Although these theories differ in the level of complexity and detail, all attempt to provide a consistent explanation of why humans behave as they do. For this Application Assignment, select one of the two vignettes provided. Then, consider two attribution theories and analyze the constructs of each theory. Apply the key constructs of the theories to the vignette, and analyze how the theory may explain what occurred. Vignette #1: Molly, 62-year-old Caucasian American Female Molly exited her doctor’s office and promptly lit a cigarette. In doing so, she missed her bus and would have to wait an additional 30 minutes for the next one. She thought about Dr Wilson, her primary care physician, who was not too concerned about her smoking. Then, she thought about Dr Smith, her cardiologist, who had clearly stated that she needs to stop smoking. Waiting for the next bus was no problem for Molly; she could enjoy a second cigarette. Vignette #2: James, 35-year-old African American Male Anticipating the long weekend ahead to be filled with social opportunities with friends and family, James felt overwhelmed and left work early on Thursday. While en route, James thought that perhaps having some quiet time now might make the weekend more enjoyable. Besides, his stomach was bothering him and he had a sizable headache. He worried a little about what his office mates thought of his departure, as this was the sixth time in the past month he had left early. The assignment (5–7 pages) Select one vignette and select two attribution theories. Choose two theories from the three theories Heider’s naive psychology theory Jones and Vavis’ correspondent inference theory Kelly’s covariation model Provide a brief analysis of the two theories you selected.

A typical social greeting goes something like this, “Hi. How are you?” “I’m fine, how are you…” really, the question doesn’t really get a genuine response indicating how the person really is doing. Develop 2 alternative greetings to start a counseling session, and explain your choice of words – what is your intent? What are you hoping the client experiences? What is the tone you hope to set? Will you shake hands? Hug? If so, describe “how” you will do this. What kind of handshake or hug? What is the first impression you hope to project for clients meeting for the first time? How will you attempt to create this impression? What is your usual body language? Eye contact? Describe how you feel most comfortable when talking with someone as a counselor. What does it communicate? How would you like to change this? Why? How comfortable are you with silence?

Chapter 1, we learn about some of the major schools of thought in Psychology. For this discussion post, you will be applying some of the major tenets of one of these schools of thought to try and describe the behavior of the subject of a clinical case study. Your job is to focus on what a psychologist that follows one school of thought would be of interest. You are not trying to treat the client…just identify what might explain her behavior. Step 1: Pick one of the perspectives listed below, and summarize/describe the most important aspects of that school of psychology. You should make sure to include the key people and terminology used in that school of psychology in your description (approximately 1 paragraph). Your options are 1. Psychoanalytic Psychology              2. Behaviorist Psychology              3. Humanistic Psychology              4. Cognitive Psychology Step 2: Read the following case study. Using the school of psychology that you described in Step 1, describe how a psychologist using your perspective would explain the CAUSE of Andrea’s problem. Try not to rely on common sense and intuition in discussing this case. Instead, imagine that you are a die-hard advocate of the viewpoint that you adopted and make your argument solely from that point of view. This explanation should cite specific evidence from the case study and should be 1-2 paragraphs long.  Andrea is an 18-year old college student at a community college in the Twin Cities area. She has requested counseling from her college counseling center at the urging of her friends. Andrea’s friends believe that she may have an eating disorder. Andrea sees herself as fat, but to her friends, she is startlingly thin. In fact, she is so thin that her friends are afraid that she may become seriously ill. Andrea maintains her low weight by eating practically nothing and drinking two quarts of water a day. She says that she “thinks about food all the time” when she is restricting her food intake, but she does not want to eat because she is afraid of getting fat. At other times, however, her hunger is so intense that she feels like she has to give in to the cravings. At those times she “binges” and eats huge amounts of food. For example, she once ate a half-gallon of ice cream in a little over one hour. After she “binges,” she works to get rid of the excess calories she has consumed by vomiting. She says that she is starting to agree that she might have an eating problem. After interviewing Andrea, you are convinced that she meets the criteria for a diagnosis of both anorexia and bulimia nervosa. You are interested in obtaining some background information about Andrea, to aid in your understanding of her situation. You find out that Andrea is 18 years old, and a freshman at your college. She says she started really worrying about her weight two years ago when she was a junior in high school. At that time, her parents were arguing a lot and even talking about divorce. She says that managing her eating made her feel more in control. She also noticed that, even though she still felt fat, people seemed to pay more attention to her and to respond to her better as she got thinner. She indicates that she likes having a more “athletic” figure.

1 – Make high-level paper and paragraph changes.2 – Complete the attached worksheet Introduction Do you catch the reader’s interest effectively right away? Would a writer’s trick such as using a quotation, story, or metaphor be appropriate and helpful in accomplishing this? Is the introduction just the right length to say what needs to be said, no more and no less? Is your introduction clear and logical? Is the information presented in the best possible order? Thesis What is your thesis? Is it obvious, clear, and written as a complete sentence? Where is it? Is it in just the right spot or could you improve readability if it was moved? What is the goal of your thesis? For example, are you trying to argue for a particular position on the topic at hand? Have you expressed this clearly? If you are making an argument, do you need to point out counterarguments to your thesis? Is the scope of your thesis appropriate for the assignment? Do you need to broaden it or narrow it down? Paragraphs Are each paragraph purposeful, relevant to your thesis, and contributing to your goals? Is there a logical progression throughout the paper? Do the paragraphs build on each other and support your thesis in an organized way? Does each paragraph have a focused topic and topic sentence that relates to the thesis? Do the other sentences in your paragraphs provide evidence and argument to support this topic? Is each paragraph a reasonable length—not too long or too short? Are any paragraphs trying to accomplish too much? If so, how can they be restructured? Have you used quotations moderately and effectively? Do your quotations relate directly to the thesis? Do you provide context for your quotations? Should you cut down on the number of quotations you’re using and paraphrase instead? Conclusion Are you providing a useful recap of your paper in a way that’s interesting, rather than resorting to highly repetitious language? Can you write it in such a way that it relates to, and enhances, the most significant aspects of your paper? Are you providing a true conclusion, or are you merely summarizing what you just wrote? Do you introduce any new topics right at the end? If you do, is there a compelling reason? Do you end on a strong note?

This assignment will allow you to reflect on your current state of being a professional. Write a one-page* description of the professionalism of your behaviors today in relation to the professional that you want to become. Consider this one-pager a snapshot in time of where you are now and where you want to be later in your career. Because this is a writing diagnostic, take some time to plan and revise the organization, word choice, and stylistic choices to demonstrate what you know about how to write well.   Helpful suggestions   As you think about content for this one-pager, think of the examples you have seen and the people whom you know that have informed your idea of professionalism. What makes a person effective in his/her personal style? What are the strengths, attributes, or skills that you appreciate?   Well-written responses will include examples and specific descriptions of behavior. For example, “She speaks well” indicates nothing about the kinds of things that you notice when people are speaking nor the aspects of speaking that you think are most important for professionals.   Here is an example of a different way to present the idea “She speaks well”:   “Whenever we have an important PowerPoint presentation to deliver at work, the day before, my manager locks herself in a room, where I can hear her rehearsing the presentation over and over again for hours. When she delivers the presentation, she does not even bother to look at the slides. Because she knows the content of each slide so well, during the presentations, she focuses more on engaging the audience. Her presentation tone is very confident, and she moves from slide to slide seamlessly, thanks to her level of preparation.”   NOTE:- Include my personal strengths such as good communicator , building relationships . personal weakness such as low linked in profile and low in writing skills . I have attached some of peoples description of professionalism .
