Assignment 2: Prevalence Statistics and Reporting
Requirements
Browse state-run Web sites to collect information about
statistical estimates on family violence that is reported or that
goes unreported.
Choose a specific area of family violence and hypothesize why
there is such a variance between actual reported and unreported
incidents.
Browse the Web to determine the state-mandated reporting
requirements if treatment professionals learn about children in
danger due to family violence in the home environment.
You may choose to address your home state or any other state
within the U.S.
Analyze the reporting requirements to verify if they are too
lenient or too strict.
How might reporting rates be increased?
Write your initial response to each part in 3–4 paragraphs.
Apply APA standards to citation of sources.
In responding to your peers, compare and contrast the
information for the state you picked to ones selected by your
peers and provide insight into the reasons for the similarities
and differences observed.

Assignment 3: Twin Behavior: Intervening
Amee and Aaron are 6-year-old twins of Josh and Lacy. Josh is
an alcoholic and unemployed, and Lacy works two jobs to feed
the family. When Lacy arrives home late from work, Josh is
drunk after spending the day managing the children. Josh picks
a fight with Lacy over petty issues and starts hitting her. Amee
and Aaron try to protect their mother. As they tug on their
father's leg, he stops hitting Lacy, falls to the floor, and begins
to cry. This has been a nightly ritual since Josh lost his job six
weeks ago. Before losing his job, Josh used to hit Lacy on a
sporadic basis, usually when he had too much to drink. The
children have developed a morbid fear of their father, and they
are extra careful not to annoy him.
At a parent/teacher conference, Lacy is told that her twins'
aggressive behavior on the playground at recess is becoming an
issue. Their teacher expresses concern and suggests that Lacy
might want to investigate early intervention for her children.
Without discussing the violence being experienced in the
family, Lacy agrees with the teacher to pursue intervention for
the twins' behavioral issues.
Identify and integrate various psychoeducational or supportive
approaches that might be used at the community level, such as
at community centers, schools, and social service agencies, to
assist children like Amee and Aaron, who are at risk from
family violence, to more effectively cope and develop
resiliency.
Be sure to address whether there may be differences between

the responses seen for Amee and Aaron and provide your
reasoning.
Explore issues of gender, diversity, and ethics within the
intervention approaches.

Assignment 1: Effects of Child Sexual Abuse
When Jamie’s mother, Arlene, attended the first-term Parent
Teacher Association meeting, Carole, another parent who works
as a case manager at a local community mental-health clinic,

helped seat her. Over coffee after the PTA meeting, Arlene
disclosed her concerns about the changes in Jamie. A little over
a year ago, Jamie was kidnapped and sexually victimized over a
2-day period, after which he managed to escape. Arlene
explained how Jamie’s life changed since that time: his grades
dropped substantially, he started eating his meals alone at
school, he stopped interacting with other children, and he has
become a loner with no close friends.
After completing her narration of Jamie’s current condition,
Arlene asked Carole for advice on his condition. She was not
sure whether this is a phase. Carole promised to bring Arlene
some literature on the developmental and psychological effects
on a child who has been sexually victimized.
What would this literature indicate about the psychological and
developmental effects on a child who has been sexually
victimized?
What intervention strategies might Carole recommend to
Arlene?

Assignment 1: Violence on Children’s TV
The National Television Violence Study found that in 1996-
1997, 61% of television programs contained violence, and, of
those selected, 75% showed no remorse, criticism of, or penalty
for the violence. Forty percent of violent acts were committed
by attractive characters.
For this assignment, you need to watch an hour of children’s
television, preferably cartoons, and analyze the level of
violence in the chosen children’s show.
Rate the aggressive acts using the following scale:
Mild

: Verbal aggression with no physical contact
Medium
: Physical contact with no blood, such as pushing, shoving, and
hitting
Extreme
: Use of force to cause bodily injury, such as guns, knives, and
other weapons, where blood is produced
Determine if any of the following occurs after the violent acts:
remorse for the violence
criticism of the violence
any consequences of the violence
Analyze how the chosen show might influence the growing
child, based on your readings. What messages is this show
giving to the child?

Assignment 2: LASA 1: Protecting Children From Media
For his 10th birthday, Greg was given a handheld videogame
system. His parents allowed him to pick any two games. They
knew the games might contain violence, because there was a
violence rating sign posted on the games, but rationalized that
they were only games and other kids play them. Greg would
quickly finish dinner and run up to his room to play his games.
His parents were pleased to observe that Greg enjoyed their
present so much. After a week, his parents noticed that he
wasn’t turning off the videogames at bedtime, and had begun
turning homework in late. He was up so late playing that he
would not get up for school without argument. His parents
decided that enough was enough and took the video games
away. Greg threw temper tantrums and persuaded his parents to

buy him a computer after convincing them that it was necessary
to keep up at school. Greg soon returned to the same pattern of
behavior where he spent long hours and late nights at the
computer. This time, his parents felt a false sense of security
that he was doing his homework. One day, his curious parents
decided to scan the computer history to see what Web sites Greg
was browsing. To their horror, they discovered that Greg was
spending many hours online playing interactive, sometimes
violently graphic, games on the Internet. He was also chatting
with other “gamers”. Before confronting Greg about his
behavior, his mother and father agreed to investigate what types
of intervention strategies might be available within their
community. They have come to you, a behavioral consultant, for
advice.

Describe the issue of exposure to videogame violence in today’s
society as related to Greg’s situation. Explore issues such as:
Prevalence (e.g., age, gender, racial diversity, etc.)
Given Greg’s developmental level, what are possible dangers of
exposure to media violence? Be sure to address this in the
context of his cognitive and socioemotional development.
Risk and protective factors, including predisposition to violence
(e.g., are all children who play violent videogames likely to
become more aggressive? What protective factors might
mitigate the possible outcomes for Greg?
Discuss the possible outcomes if Greg’s behavior continues
unchecked.
Discuss types of intervention strategies you would expect his
parents to find at a community level, such as in community
centers, schools, and social service agencies, to assist children
like Greg who are at risk due to ongoing exposure to media
violence.
What would be a good plan to recommend to Greg’s parents?
Compare the dangers of exposure to videogame violence with
other forms of violence. What are similarities and differences

between videogame violence exposure and the other type of
violence you chose to compare?
What are the costs of videogame violence to the family and the
community and society at large and the other form of violence
you chose for comparison?

Assignment 1: Discussion Question: Victim of Peer Violence
At the age of nine, Anita moved from a small town to a big city
because her father was transferred to a new job. Anita entered
fifth grade in the middle of the term and was immediately
ostracized by her female classmates. Anita begged her parents
to send her back to her old school. Her parents assumed she was
lonely and reassured her that things would get better soon.
Two girls began tripping Anita in the halls and taking items
from her, starting with small items such as school supplies and
graduating to larger items such as jewelry and clothes. They
would “accidentally” elbow her in the stomach as they walked
by, threw things at Anita when teachers were not looking, and
whispered derogatory names to her. Anita started leaving for
school in the morning, then circling back home when her
parents left for work.
One day, Anita’s mother caught her in the attempt, but Anita

refused to explain her actions. Reluctantly, she returned to
school only to find the same two girls waiting for her in the
restroom. They kicked her and pulled her hair. Anita returned to
class teary-eyed and disheveled, but refused to talk to the
teacher. After class, her teacher encouraged her to talk to the
school counselor, where Anita finally broke down and confessed
what had been occurring.
We have learned that taking a social ecological approach (i.e.,
altering the environment) can be an important component to an
intervention plan. As the school counselor, you must work with
the school and Anita’s family to intervene on her behalf. Submit
your response by
Saturday, September 5, 2015.
Based on this scenario, what environmental alterations might
you suggest based on what you have learned?
How will you foster resiliency as part of a community-
intervention plan?
Include issues of gender, diversity, and ethics in your plan.
As the counselor meeting with Anita, how will you manage
state-mandated reporting laws and maintaining Anita’s
confidentiality within the community?
How will you incorporate Anita’s parents and school into your
plan?

Assignment 1: LASA 2: Cultural Considerations
As a mental health worker in a large city, you have been asked
to work with refugee children who have been relocated from
central Nigeria to live with foster families in your city. The
children are between the ages of 9 and 13, boys and girls. They
were rescued from a refugee camp in Nigeria where conditions
were very poor. People were cramped and slept in rudimentary
shelters. Food was scarce, and disease was rampant. Prior to
arriving in the camp, the children were exposed to brutal
violence. They saw their families murdered, houses burned, and
witnessed or experienced sexual assault. Some were also injured
in the attacks on their villages.
Utilize the
Culturegrams
database in the Argosy Online library, the
Ethics and Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct

Design an intervention program to address the children’s
exposure to violence. Remember to consider individual, family,
and community needs.
Describe the elements you would incorporate into a prevention
program designed to foster resilience in the children from
Nigeria, as well as break the cycle of violence that we learned

can occur for children exposed to violence. You may research
existing programs that utilize best practices as we have learned
in this course, or design your own program.
Reflect on the debate between “cultural universality” and
“cultural specificity”. How would you reconcile this debate
within the context of the ethics code for psychologists?
Discuss why it is important to take into consideration cultural
traditions when designing an intervention program. Describe at
least two specific Nigerian cultural traditions and how you
would use this knowledge in designing your intervention

Assignment 2: Community Violence in the U.S.

In the increasingly violent times that the U.S. is experiencing, it
has been observed that children in some areas are terrorized by
street violence. Gang warfare can easily turn a quiet

inadvertent victims. Although some children can’t cope with the
fear, a few are able to rise above it and confidently move ahead.
What are risk factors for children to become involved in gang
activity?

Describe some of the characteristics of children who grow
stronger by surviving in these environments.
Discuss how parents in these neighborhoods could foster these
characteristics in growing children.
