Growing up in poverty (birth to age 9) predicted externalizing symptoms and learned helplessness at age 17.Emerging adult economic levels (at age 17) did not change the significance of these relationshipsThe impact of growing up in poverty on externalizing was mediated by cumulative risk at age 13. In other words, if you take out the influence of cumulative risk, growing up in poverty no longer predicts externalizing problems.The impact of growing up in poverty on learned helplessness was partially mediated by cumulative risk at age 13. In other words, if you take out the influence of cumulative risk, growing up in poverty still explains some of the variability in learned helplessness but not all of it.These findings suggest that the impact of growing up in poverty on wellbeing (externalizing and learned helplessness) in emerging adulthood is strong. However, it also appears that this can be explained, or partially explained, by the cumulative risk faced at age 13.For your journal this week consider how this might inform policy or organizations looking to support children who have grown up in poverty. How might we intervene to interrupt the relationship between growing up in poverty and externalizing behaviors and learned helplessness? How might we influence the mediator of cumulative risk at 13? When might this mean programs should start? What sorts of supports might be important to offer?Given the presentations we’ve seen on community organizations that support resilience, and Masten’s short list of factors contributing to resilience. What might such an intervention program consist of?(These are big questions but remember this journal only needs to be 300 words.)

The behavioral/social learning approach includes areas of classical conditioning, operant conditioning, observational learning, and the social-cognitive learning approach. In this area of psychopathology, behaviorists account for many of the behaviors and psychological disorders through these concepts and many use these techniques designed to overcome many of these behaviors and disorders in therapy. For your discussion this week, select a current even from the news in the past 6-12 months where the behavior appears to be abnormal (e.g. Mass shooting, social media presence, political event).In looking at the individual’s behavior, select two approaches in the behavioral/social learning approach and explain how these approaches may have contributed to the acquisition of this behavior.Explain how the two approaches you selected, can support the modification of this individual’s behavior?

It seems as though we have lost numerous celebrities and public figures to suicide. It is easy to negate feelings of depression in instances like this because from our perspective, they have so much going for them. We see the fame, money, popularity, etc., and often struggle to understand why someone in their shoes would take their own life. The aftermath usually includes friends and family stating that they didn’t really know that anything was going on; maybe the person was a bit withdrawn, or busy, or maybe they started using drugs again that they had previously given up, or maybe they were on drugs and this was simply a part of their norm in that part of their life.A suicide attempt is an act of hopelessness. The person feels as though the people around them may be better off without them, or they feel that they simply cannot get out of the situation that they are in.What are some key signs that one could look for in their friends to try and prevent suicide? How open are you and your friends and family, when it comes to feelings of depression? Why is it important to talk about these things?

Write a paper (750 – 1,000 words) in which you articulate a potential problem statement for your dissertation research and pose several potential research questions that could address the problem statement. Include the following in your paper:1. A clearly articulated and focused potential problem statement for the dissertation study you might conduct. What is the area of research you intend to explore? What are the key concepts of your focus? What is the context of the problem? Who are the subjects of this research focus?2. A research-supported rationale for exploring the problem. What is the need or defined gap as supported by at least four current and relevant sources of research literature?3. Four potential research questions that could guide your collection of data in addressing the problem statement. Reflect upon the who, what, where, when, why, and how of the problem statement to gain a broader perspective on the problem statement. What analytical questions need to be asked related to the data that must be collected to address the defined gap? Articulate these ideas into research questions that focus on the relevant data that needs to be collected.

Problem Statement and Research QuestionsThe process of articulating a problem statement and the related research questions requires a significant amount of reading and reflection. Doctoral learners at this point in the program must consider a problem to research for the dissertation and begin to articulate that problem. In this assignment, you will articulate a potential problem statement for your dissertation research and pose several potential research questions that could address the problem statement. Please note that a passing score on this assignment does not indicate an approved problem statement or research questions. You will work with your dissertation chair and methodologist to further refine and focus these items once you enter the dissertation phase of the program

Q1) Does each example below best illustrate reliance on tenacity, authority, reason, empiricism, or systematic empiricism as a way of knowing?1. Trevor wants to buy a new smartphone, so he reads phone reviews by experts on cnet.com and endgadget.com.2. Four-year-old Shonda has a watercolor paint kit. She’s curious about what color she will get if she mixes red and green paint, so she does it a few times to find out.3. Claire takes her first multiple-choice test in junior high. When the graded test is returned to her, she pays attention only to the items she got wrong. She notices three questions for which she had initially chosen the correct answer but, after reconsidering, switched to a wrong answer. She fails to notice even more items for which she initially picked the wrong answer but switched to the correct answer. She concludes that “on multiple-choice tests, you should always stick with your first instinct.”4. In college, Claire learns that research consistently suggests the advice to “always stick with your first instinct on multiple-choice exams” is wrong. On average, when switching answers, students are more likely to change a wrong answer to a correct answer than vice versa. Claire rejects this and sticks with her “first-instinct” belief.Q2) Describe two ways in which prediction is a goal of science. What are two ways in which control is a scientific goal?Q3) In an experiment, what is the purpose of randomly assigning participants to conditions?Q4) When researchers draw inductive conclusions from samples of data, what are two general types of error that can occur?Q5) Describe several reasons why psychologists study nonhuman animals
