This document outlines critical thinking skills needed to analyze psychological research studies. It discusses evaluating a study's methodology, connecting findings to major debates in psychology, applying research to society, and relating studies to different levels of analysis. Critical thinking involves assessing strengths and limitations of methods, ethics, reliability, and validity, as well as considering how findings inform nature vs nurture, reductionism vs holism, and free will vs determinism debates. Research must also be evaluated for real-world applications and how it enhances understanding of human behavior.

Major debates in psych
The document discusses three major debates in psychology: nature vs nurture, reductionism vs holism, and free will vs determinism. For nature vs nurture, it examines the extent to which behavior is influenced by internal biological factors or the external environment. Reductionism vs holism addresses whether behavior is best explained by single or multiple causes. And free will vs determinism considers the level of individual control over behavior versus external predictability. Examples are provided for each debate.
Intrinsic assessment
The document discusses intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in education. It notes that while young students are intrinsically motivated to learn, high school students' motivation has become more extrinsic, focused on grades. The teacher aims to incorporate more intrinsic motivation into their class by having students set personal goals and reflect on how course topics apply to their lives, relationships, and community. Students will determine 30% of their grade based on reflections of their intrinsic motivations. The teacher will assess the remaining 70% based on academic skills and content knowledge. The goal is to give students more control and responsibility over their evaluation while still meeting curricular requirements.
The power of the situation
The document discusses the concept of free will versus determinism and how human behavior can be influenced by outside forces through conditioning and learning. It references social experiments that tested how participants' actions were impacted by authority figures and situations more than their own free will. The key questions are to what extent individuals have control over their own actions or if behavior is predicted by external factors outside one's control.
Altruism Theories
The document discusses several studies that examine cultural differences in prosocial behavior:
- Whiting (1975) found that children in Kenya were the most prosocial, while those in Japan and India were the least, and that household responsibilities predicted higher prosocial behavior.
- Levine et al (2003) observed helping behaviors across 23 countries and found that places like Brazil and Denmark ranked higher than the US, suggesting cultures emphasizing social responsibility over achievement help more.
- Korte & Ayvalioglu (1981) found that small communities and squatter settlements in Turkey helped strangers more than large cities or suburbs, indicating community size impacts prosocial norms.
Defining psychology
Psychology is defined as the scientific study of behavior and mental processes, and how they are influenced by internal factors and the environment. Psychologists use the scientific method, relying on evidence rather than theories. Behavior can be studied at three levels: biological, focusing on physiology and genetics; cognitive, examining mental processes like memory and decision-making; and sociocultural, looking at how society and culture shape behavior. The document provides an overview of the key concepts in psychology.
Genetics pp
This document discusses how genetics can influence human behavior. It summarizes several key studies on genetics and behavior. The Minnesota Twin Study found that 70% of intelligence is attributed to genetic variation by comparing identical twins reared together or apart. Additionally, the Caspi et al. study found that individuals with two short alleles of the 5-HTT gene were more likely to be depressed following stressful events, showing how genetics can predict likelihood of depression. In summary, the document examines the role of genetics versus environment in determining human behavior and traits.
Introduction to the ia
The document provides information about the Internal Assessment (IA), which requires students to plan, conduct, and report on replicating a simple experimental study. It outlines the key elements students must include in their IA report and establishes ethical guidelines for conducting research involving human participants. Students must choose an independent variable that does not relate to gender, age, language, culture, education level, socioeconomic status or handedness. They will work in groups to explore example studies, choose one to replicate, and submit a Study Summary Sheet. The next class will involve discussing the IA elements and establishing deadlines.
Defining psychology
Psychology is defined as the scientific study of behavior and mental processes, and how they are affected by both internal factors like genetics and biology as well as environmental influences. It uses the scientific method, relying on evidence rather than theories. Behavior refers to observable actions while mental processes are internal functions like memory, learning, and decision-making. Psychology studies human behavior through three levels of analysis: biological looks at physiological and genetic influences; cognitive examines how we process information; and sociocultural considers how society and culture shape our behaviors as social animals.

I used local and foreign books. Some concepts are not mentioned here in my slides but will be discussed during our session.
If you want to know the resources feel free to comment below.
The Development of Antisocial Personality Disorder Over the Lifespan: A Psych...
The document discusses the development of antisocial personality disorder from infancy through childhood. It notes that infants who develop insecure attachments with caregivers, especially disorganized attachments, are more likely to exhibit antisocial behaviors later in life. Childhood factors that can contribute to antisocial personality disorder include abusive or neglectful parenting, parental divorce, negative influences from siblings, rejection from peers, and affiliating with deviant peer groups. Early detection and treatment of antisocial behaviors during childhood may help prevent the development of antisocial personality disorder.
AS Two Alternatives to the Laboratory Experiment AND Answers
The document discusses two alternative methods to laboratory experiments in sociology: field experiments and the comparative method. The comparative method is designed to discover cause-and-effect relationships and is sometimes called a thought experiment. Rosenthal & Jacobson used a field experiment to study the effects of teacher expectations on student achievement. The comparative method has advantages over laboratory experiments in that it avoids artificiality, can study past events, and does not harm or deceive subjects. Durkheim used the comparative method in his study of suicide rates.
Biology of Love
This document provides an overview of the biology of love. It discusses three stages of love: lust, romantic love, and attachment. It summarizes several studies that examine the roles of dopamine and serotonin in romantic love and obsession. One study found dopamine is involved in goal-seeking and reward pathways when viewing a partner's photo. Another study found lower serotonin levels in those newly in love and with OCD. Oxytocin is discussed in several studies as influencing bonding, relationships, and communication between partners.
Type A Behavior Pattern (TABP)
Type A Behavior Pattern (TABP) type of personality concerns how people respond to stress. Though it is a personality typology, it is more appropriately conceptualized as a trait continuum, with extremes Type-A and Type-B individuals on each end. Typical responses of TABP include: Competitiveness(very competitive and self-critical.),Time Urgency(seem to be in a constant struggle against the clock.),Hostility( easily aroused to anger or hostility, which they may or may not express overtly.)
Sociology 101 09-10-2008
The document summarizes key points from readings for an introductory sociology course. It discusses C. Wright Mills' concept of the sociological imagination and the distinction between personal "troubles" and public "issues." It also covers an empirical study by Rosenhan that found psychiatrists unable to distinguish sane individuals from patients, suggesting insanity is socially constructed. Students are reminded to attend discussion, check clickers, and complete upcoming readings.
AQA AS Psychology Unit 1 SOCIAL INFLUENCE
The document discusses conformity and obedience as forms of social influence. It defines conformity as changing one's behavior or opinions due to group pressure, while obedience involves following direct orders from an authority figure. Several classic studies are summarized that provide evidence about the situational and dispositional factors involved in conformity and obedience, including Asch's line judgment experiment, Milgram's obedience study, and Adorno's research on authoritarian personality traits. Key findings indicate that conformity and obedience can be strongly influenced by group size, unanimity, task difficulty, proximity to authority, and the perceived legitimacy of those in positions of power. Individual differences in personality also play a role.
AS Theoretical Issues
There are four main theoretical issues in sociology: validity, reliability, representativeness, and methodological perspective. Validity refers to obtaining an accurate picture of society, while reliability means replicable results. Representativeness means studying a typical cross-section. Methodological perspective influences method choice, with positivists preferring quantitative data to find patterns and interpretivists preferring qualitative data to understand meanings. Constraints like time, resources, access, and consent also influence which methods sociologists can use to study their topics.
Hormone pp
Cortisol and oxytocin are hormones that impact human behavior. Cortisol is released during stress and helps regulate the body's stress response. Short-term stress and cortisol release is normal, but chronic stress can weaken the hippocampus and frontal lobe over time. Oxytocin is involved in bonding and trust. Studies found oxytocin levels increased in newly formed couples and predicted relationship success later. Oxytocin also improved couple communication and lowered stress when administered. It plays an important role in social bonding for many species.
Psychology of magic
This document discusses the psychology of magic and attention. It includes examples of magic tricks and research on attention. Magicians are able to manipulate attention and perception to create illusions. Students learn a magic trick, explaining how it relates to attention and perception, and compete to "fool" their teacher. Understanding attention and perception can change how we see the world and human behavior.
Psy 2020 chapter 1
This document provides an overview of social psychology, including its key topics and research methods. Social psychology is defined as the scientific study of how people think about, influence, and relate to one another. It examines how our behavior is shaped by social situations and other people. The document outlines some of social psychology's major ideas like social thinking, social influences, and obedience. It also describes common research methods in social psychology like correlational research, surveys, experiments, and the importance of ethics.
I.a. method section guide
This document provides guidance on writing the Method section of a research paper. It discusses including a description of the independent and dependent variables, the experimental design and justification, and documentation of ethical guidelines. It also covers identifying participant characteristics, sampling techniques, listing required materials, and detailing the experimental procedures in a replicable step-by-step format with consideration of ethics.
Psychology unit 2 (learning approach
This is a presentation that I have created which goes through the different aspects of the unit 2 AS psychology learning approach.
3. Conformity & Obedience
This document provides an overview of key concepts in social psychology related to conformity and obedience. It discusses classic studies on conformity by Sherif and Asch, and on obedience by Milgram. Factors that influence conformity and obedience are explored, such as group size and unanimity. The document also examines theories to explain these behaviors, such as informational and normative influence, and the agentic shift proposed by Milgram to explain why people obey authority figures. Criticisms of classic studies and strategies for resisting social pressure are also summarized.
Asch Conformity Social Psychology AS
Asch conducted a classic conformity study where participants made judgments about the length of lines in unambiguous situations. In a control study, less than 1% of people made errors alone, showing the task was unambiguous. In the main study, 32% of participants conformed to the unanimous wrong answers of confederates at least once, showing the strong tendency to conform even when wrong. Variations found conformity reduced with smaller majorities and dissenters. The results suggest people strongly conform to group pressures, even when wrong.
Pscyhology methodology pp
This document outlines the key steps and considerations for designing a psychology research study, including defining the aim, determining the methodology, and establishing reliability and validity. It discusses experimental and non-experimental research designs. For the methodology, it emphasizes choosing appropriate participants and controls, such as treatment and control groups, and blind studies. Reliability depends on replicating findings across experiments, while validity measures how well a study reflects real-world situations.
Ethics w. voice
This document discusses the ethical standards that psychologists must follow when conducting research. It outlines six main standards: informed consent, avoiding deception, protecting participants from harm, allowing participants to withdraw, debriefing participants, and maintaining confidentiality. It also discusses ethical considerations for animal research and questions to consider regarding research ethics. The document concludes with an activity where students review studies and identify which ethical standards were violated in each.
Genetics pp
Genes contribute to behaviors but do not determine them. Studies of twins and genes like 5-HTT and COMT show that:
- Genetics influence traits like intelligence (70%) and likelihood of depression, but environment also matters
- The 5-HTT gene predicts if one will become depressed after stressful life events
- COMT impacts stress response and test/task performance depending on allele (fast or slow acting enzyme)
However, one gene does not cause a behavior and ethics around genetic testing and research are important issues.
IA Method Section Guide
This document provides guidance on key elements to include in the Method section of a research study. The Method section should identify the independent and dependent variables and how they are defined and measured. It should describe the experimental design, including treatment and control groups, and justify the design choice. Ethical guidelines and how they were followed should also be documented. The Method section should identify relevant participant characteristics and the sampling method. Finally, it should provide a clear, replicable description of study procedures and list all necessary materials in an appendix.
IA Presentation/Format Section
This document outlines the requirements for the presentation section of an IB Internal Assessment. It should include a title page with the title, names, subject and word count. A 200-word abstract summarizing the aim, method, variables, results and conclusions. A table of contents and references section in APA style. Appendices include materials like consent forms and raw data. The presentation is worth 2 marks and must be between 1000-1500 words, excluding certain sections. It provides an example title and contact information for students to view examples or ask questions.
Introduction Overview
This document provides guidance on writing the introduction section of a research paper. It outlines key elements to include such as clearly stating the aim of the study, identifying and summarizing the replicated study by defining terms, aim, method, hypothesis, variables, findings, and conclusion. It also notes that the aim of the replicating study should be stated in 1-2 sentences regarding what is being accomplished and investigated.
Loftus and memory pp
Memory is not always reliable according to research studies. In a 1974 study by Loftus and Palmer, participants saw a video of a car crash and were later asked how fast the cars were going when they "smashed" into each other or "contacted" each other. Those asked about "smashing" estimated higher speeds than those asked about "contacting", showing that wording of questions can manipulate memories. A later 2012 study by Loftus found that over half of participants inaccurately identified their interrogator in a mock prisoner of war scenario after being given misinformation about the interrogator's appearance. These studies demonstrate that memory can be impacted and altered by new information even for stressful or personally relevant events.

Introduction Overview
This document provides guidance on writing the introduction section of a research paper. It outlines key elements to include such as clearly stating the aim of the study, identifying and summarizing the replicated study by defining terms, aim, method, hypothesis, variables, findings, and conclusion. It also notes that the aim of the replicating study should be stated in 1-2 sentences regarding what is being accomplished and investigated.
Loftus and memory pp
Memory is not always reliable according to research studies.

Those asked about "smashing" estimated higher speeds than those asked about "contacting", showing that wording of questions can manipulate memories. A later 2012 study by Loftus found that over half of participants inaccurately identified their interrogator in a mock prisoner of war scenario after being given misinformation about the interrogator's appearance. These studies demonstrate that memory can be impacted and altered by new information even for stressful or personally relevant events.
Race & decision making
The documents discuss two studies that investigated the role of race in decisions to shoot targets. The first meta-analysis found participants were quicker and more likely to shoot black targets, especially in states with permissive gun laws. The second study found that while participants showed more threat response to black targets, they were ultimately less likely to shoot black targets, indicating a counter-bias against shooting black targets.
Flashbulb memories pp
The document summarizes research on flashbulb memories, which are highly vivid and accurate memories of learning about emotionally arousing events. Several studies examined the accuracy and consistency of flashbulb memories over time. While initial studies found high accuracy, later work found inconsistencies in memory details within a few years. Factors like media engagement and discussions can impact memory confidence even if not accuracy. Overall, flashbulb memories are subject to the reconstructive nature of memory and inconsistencies, though the core experience may be remembered emotionally.
Perception pp
This document discusses perception and how the brain interprets sensory information from the external world. It explains that perception involves both bottom-up processing, where individual sensory inputs are constructed into a whole, as well as top-down processing, where prior knowledge and expectations influence perception. The document also discusses several optical illusions and a study showing cultural differences in susceptibility to the Muller-Lyer illusion, suggesting experiences shape an individual's perceptual tendencies.
Cognition, biology and emotion pp
This document discusses how cognition and biology interact to produce emotions. It presents several theories on this topic. Le Doux's theory proposes two pathways - a short route involving physiological responses and a long route involving cognitive processing. Lazarus' appraisal theory suggests that cognitive evaluations of whether a situation implies well-being or harm determine the emotional response. An experiment by Speisman et al. found that manipulating participants' cognitive framing of a video impacted their physiological stress responses, supporting the role of cognition in emotion. Overall, the document examines how both biological factors and cognitive appraisals work together to generate emotions.
Culture and memory
This document discusses how social and cultural factors affect memory. It presents evidence that culture impacts the formation of early autobiographical memories, with individuals from more collectivistic cultures having earlier earliest memories compared to those from more individualistic cultures. The Social-Interaction Model of memory proposes that our memories develop through conversations with others, and the type of questions asked (high vs low elaborative) influences what children remember. Studies show children whose mothers asked more elaborative questions had better memory of events. Culture also influences memory reconstruction through schemas as shown by a study where white and black participants remembered a scene differently.
The Nature of Memory
This document discusses memory and schema theory. It provides information on different types of memory like explicit and implicit memory. It summarizes studies by Bartlett and Brewer and Treyens that provide evidence for schema theory. Schema theory proposes that memory is influenced by a person's prior knowledge and experiences. The studies found that people recalled main ideas but changed unfamiliar details to fit their own schemas. The strengths of schema theory are that it explains the reconstructive nature of memory and how schemas influence perception. However, limitations are that schemas are not clearly defined and may be too vague. The case study of Clive Wearing, who has severe anterograde amnesia, also provides insights into the biological basis of memory.
Research at the bio lo a pp
This document discusses three common research methods used at the biological level of analysis: case studies, experiments, and correlational studies. It provides an overview of the pros and cons of each method. Case studies allow for an in-depth analysis of individual cases but have low reliability and generalizability. Experiments have high internal validity but low ecological validity. Correlational studies can show relationships between variables but do not prove causation.
Intro to general psych
The document provides an introduction to psychology. It defines psychology as the scientific study of behavior and mental processes, and how they are affected by both internal factors like genetics and diseases as well as external environmental factors. It explains that psychology uses the scientific method and relies on evidence to investigate human and animal behavior and mental processes. It also discusses some of the key internal mental processes studied in psychology, such as memory, learning, language, and decision making.
Neuron and neurotransmitter pp
This document discusses neurons, neurotransmitters, and their impact on human behavior. It defines key terms like neuron, dendrite, axon, synapse, and neurotransmitter. It explains how neurons communicate via neurotransmitters released at the synapse between neurons. Serotonin imbalance is linked to depression, and SSRIs work by blocking serotonin reuptake. The document also summarizes a study that found acetylcholine plays a role in memory formation by manipulating its levels in rats. Dopamine is associated with reward and motivation rather than directly creating pleasure.
Learning pp
This document provides an introduction to classical and operant conditioning theories of learning. It defines learning as a long-term change in behavior based on experience. Classical conditioning is described through Pavlov's dog experiment in which dogs learned to associate the sound of a bell with food. Operant conditioning is explained as how behavior is strengthened or weakened by consequences, like reinforcement and punishment. Examples are given of positive and negative reinforcement as well as positive and negative punishment. The document aims to explain how environments and consequences impact behavior.
Intro to the brain (gen psych)
This document provides an introduction to the human brain, including its structure and functions. It discusses key topics such as neurology, the nervous system, localization of function, neurons, and brain plasticity. Specific areas of the brain like the frontal lobe and hippocampus are examined. The passage also explores how the teenage brain develops and is impacted by hormones and chemicals, leading teens to make decisions guided by emotions and urges rather than logic. It emphasizes how understanding brain development can help with teenage behaviors.
Evolutionary psychology
Evolutionary psychology attempts to explain human behavior through evolutionary adaptations. It links behaviors to biological functions and genetics. Key ideas include natural selection favoring traits suited to the environment and adaptations developing over generations. An example is how early humans' stress response helped survive encounters with predators by focusing on survival. The pair-bonding hypothesis proposes that humans formed long-term romantic bonds to rear young together successfully, promoting behaviors like attachment that increased reproductive success. However, critiques note evolutionary theories may underestimate culture's influence and rely on hypothetical assumptions about ancient humans' behaviors.

Intro to Critical Thinking
This document discusses critical thinking skills needed for psychological research. It explains that critical thinking involves evaluating evidence from research studies by examining the methodology, relating it to major debates, considering applications to society, and connecting it to other studies and levels of analysis in psychology. Specifically, critical analysis of a study involves assessing the strengths and limitations of its methods, ethics, reliability, and validity.

Personal Mission Statement
To begin with, I have set my eyes on becoming a social worker. Further, through my involvement in the realm of social work, I hope to help as many individuals as I can. For a long a time, I have exhibited immense passion and the need to come to the assistance of individuals who are grappling with a vast array of unsavory circumstances. My passion is as a result of my experiences of the suffering of many people whom I have interacted with throughout my life. Notably, the majority of these people had to contend with abuse and neglect for a long time. Moreover, my need is as a result of my comprehension of the fact that transforming the globe commences with the assistance of a just a single individual and having the ability to empathize with individuals. Having witnessed so much suffering throughout my life, I feel that it is right for me to do whatever I can to bring smiles to faces of individuals who have faced diverse challenging situations in their life. In this way, I believe that I will be able to bring much-needed positive contributions to my preferred profession.
Further, I bring various positive and unique qualities to social work, the most prominent of which include empathy, active listening, and persuasion. Firstly, empathy relates to the capability of an individual to identify with the situation in which another individual is. Undoubtedly, empathy is immensely critical in the realm of social work owing to the fact that it aids those partaking in the field to not only comprehend but also assist others in ascertaining solutions to their problems. Apart from this, active listening is equally critical in social work because it helps in establishing trust, opening doors, and coming to the discovery of important details regarding the people seeking the assistance of social workers. In this way, their unique circumstances can be understood. Additionally, the value of persuasion cannot be stressed enough, as it aids in influencing, coaxing, or inviting individuals to take action, for instance, when it comes to the transformation of client behavior.
With respect to how I see my role in the profession evolving through time, I hope that I will start working as a child welfare social worker in a hospital. I intend to offer services to children who are grappling with abuse and neglect owing to the actions of their parents. On top of this, I intend to assist children coming from families that do not earn enough income. In addition, I hope that I will become a hospital manager of child welfare five years after starting my practice of social work. Following the attainment of two to three years’ experience as child welfare social worker, on top of undergoing additional management training, I hope that I will be able to land the position. In addition, I intend to start a non-profit communit.

Due Thursday Answer the following questions in 25 to 50 words ea.docx
Due Thursday
Answer the following questions in 25 to 50 words each, covering material from Ch. 6 and 7 of Methods in Behavioral Research:
0. What is the difference between a qualitative method of behavioral research and a quantitative method of behavioral research?
0. What is a case study? When are case studies most useful?
0. What are different methods for administering surveys? When would you use each method?
0. Why is the wording of questions important in survey research? What types of questions should be avoided? Why?
0. What is interview bias? When can this occur?
0. A researcher attends an art reception in a major metropolitan city. She decides to approach people over the age of 50 and ask them to fill out a brief survey about purchasing artwork. Is this a probability or a nonprobability sampling technique? What type of sampling procedure—simple random, stratified random, cluster, haphazard, purposive, or quota—is this?
Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:
Imagine you are a researcher interested in identifying the components of giftedness in preteen children. What quantitative methods might you use to help you better understand the experience of giftedness? What qualitative methods might you use? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each approach?
Respond to classmates responds substantive responses needed
I would say that the quantitative method identified as a research approach that focuses on
specific behaviors of the participant group, and these behaviors can be. The best way to explain this as a preteen children ad giftedness, quantitative observation is is a statistical analysis this is a large sample taken for the study, this includes the percentages of gifted preteens that is varies by age. Qualitative method for preteen giftedness is based on is better used in gathering the information in groups of 8 to 10 preteens, using more of an interview setting. Qualitative is expressed in a nonnumerical terms using language and images. Quantitative and Qualitative would not be best used in this study because quantative would examine the data of the gifted preteens and Qualitative would be able to conceptualize in nonnumerical terms. Keep in mind the distinction between quantitative and qualitative approaches to describing behavior are valuable and provide us with different ways of understanding behavior. Observing the giftedness of preteens is valuable using both methods for the study.
Cozy, P.C. and Bates, S.C. (2015). Methods in Behavioral Research (12th ed.). New York, NY: McGraw Hill
I would say that qualitative is a great way to study the level of giftedness with children and how they interact with peers, etc. We would be able to observe them in their natural settings, such as school. It may be possible to survey parents on their behaviors at home and compare the two as well. The quantitative could be focusing on their social patterns and behaviors, measuring the frequency or level of certain behav ...

CONTEXT
Is conformity good or bad? Are people willing to hurt one another just because an authority told them to? Some of the most fascinating research results about human behavior were intending to answer these very questions. The results on the topics of social conformity and obedience to authority revealed some disturbing revelations about human behavior and about potential harm to participants in research. The studies and their results had tremendous implications for the field on how we conduct research—and on how we understand the influence of social pressure and leadership. Because of the significant implications in both research and application, these studies have been some of the most controversial and hotly debated topics in psychology.

Feedback for Professor on week 1 discussion
Mental health and illness are always a question for individuals in the criminal justice system, regardless of their age. Understanding mental health and how that might impact decision making and criminal behavior are important questions. But you need to look at the alignment of your Research Problem / Purpose / Question. These should all be different ways of saying the same thing. So, if you are talking about mental illness and rehabilitation in one, you should be talking about illness and rehabilitation in all of them. Please work on this alignment for both the quantitative research design and the qualitative research design for Week 2.

SOCW 6200: Human Behavior and the Social Environment I
Week 10
Project: Bio-Psycho-Social Assessment
Assessing a client’s biological, psychological, and social history is a holistic approach that is an essential aspect of social work practice. Since one area often affects the other two, it is important to get as accurate an assessment as possible when working with a client. Social workers use the bio-psycho-social tool to communicate specific information, and possible conclusions, about a client to other professionals. It is, at once, a summary of current issues and problems; a listing of past factors that may be relevant to the current situation; and a description of potential issues that may have an effect on the client in the future. In addition to describing the client’s challenges and problems, the assessment identifies strengths and assets that are available to provide support. For this Project you create a bio-psycho-social assessment.

What did you learn about yourself and your abilities to be a t.docx
What did you learn about yourself and your abilities to be a teacher of
young children, and how you worked as part of a teaching team?
As I take this class, I see my teacher skills build every day when I come to the
lab. I see patience in all the teachers and also in me. When I have to convince
the children to make good choices, solve problems, and deal with challenging
behaviors. As a teacher, I’m a role model and a friend to the children. When I set
up an activity, I think about how I can challenge the children to do things that I
think they will learn from that activity. For example, I want the children to do math
patterns, balance with one leg, or walk on the beam without helping hands. The
children need to practice and build on their knowledge, and they learn the skills
through all the activities that they are engaged in in the class.
As a teaching team member, communication is the most important thing.
Teachers need to keep track of the ratio throughout the day. They must
communicate with other teachers in the room when they take the children to the
restroom. Announcing the change in the routine to ensure the children know what
will happen differently that day and let coworkers expect what to do. Never let
down your guard when you are with the children.
What did you learn most about planning emergent curriculum for young
children?
I learned that an emergent curriculum is a program that plans lessons based on
the children's interests. Planning needs a lot of experience, and teachers must
decide what is important for the children to learn. The activity setup layout needs
to be welcoming, and the color and materials must be related. The material and
objects need to stand out to catch the children’s eyes. I need to support diversity,
math, or literacy in the activity. The teacher creates intentional teaching material
that encourages the children to build on what they already know.
What did you find challenging and rewarding about your lead days?
The lead day sounded scary to me in the middle of the semester. Lead day
practice takes place over two days, and these two days are helpful for me in
learning the routine and keeping track of time. It is important to be flexible about
what is happening in the environment and make sure to make the transition at
the right time. When I ask other teachers to do something, I find myself being
weird, especially if they are the teachers and already know what needs to be
done. The lead days taught me how important communication is with team
members.
STIGMATIZATION AND SELF-ESTEEM OF PERSONS IN RECOVERY

quality of life. Previous research seeking for elements buffering this negative
association focused on coping strategies and revealed that no.

Maria is trying to understand why two boys, Joseph and Jamal, had a confrontation at school. She talks to Joseph to learn more. Joseph explains that he reacted aggressively towards Jamal because he didn't like the way Jamal looked at him. Maria recognizes this as an example of classical conditioning, where Joseph has formed an association between Jamal's look (the conditioned stimulus) and previous negative interactions with Jamal and others (the unconditioned stimulus), resulting in an aggressive reaction (the conditioned response). Maria aims to identify the stimuli influencing the boys' behavior to develop a strategy to reduce tensions between them.

NEED TO REPLY TO THESE TWO PEERS REPLY
Reply to Kirsten Lizama
According to cognitive-developmental psychologist, Lawrence Kohlberg, there are six stages of moral and ethical development. The first stage called the Preconventional Morality stage is seen mostly in young children preschool, elementary and some junior high and high school individuals. In this stage one tends to obey in order not to get caught but given the opportunity without punishment the individual is more likely to disregard others and only think of themselves. Stage two called exchange of favors is when individual start to realize others have needs to and work toward helping others if it benefits their own need without punishment or consequences. The next stage conventional morality normally is not seen until the high school level. Individuals start to be aware of there actions and how others see their behavior in society and what constitutes the norms. Stage four individuals look for confidence in their behaviors through society’s eyes. Sometimes not realizing rules of merit can lack construct and should be change for the betterment of society. Also, in this stage rules are constraining, and inflexible Stage 5 social contract, is rarely present before college level. Individuals start to see that rules set in place are to protect society and keep order and rules can be flexible and evolve with society changes. The next stage to my surprise few people ever reach the universal ethical principle stage. At this stage we are looking at diversity and respecting other beliefs and searching for ways to live among each other with our differences. Being ethical to me means openness and understanding of other intentions even if we do not believe in their methods. One ethical dilemma that has always bothered me has happen in my personal and professional life. I find that when someone is singled out for one reason or another rather it is at work or personally everyone seems to jump on the band wagon and sometimes I feel if I do not agree than I will be singled out. I will not just agree to feel apart of something. It is just the person I am and sometimes it is not the best trait, but I believe strongly in treating other how you would like to be treated in a similar situation. A college education prepares you for problem solving and critical thinking. For example, when we are faced with ethical decisions we must be able to look at both side and come to a reasonable solution. Education makes us aware, alert and knowledgeable something that is very beneficial for high positions

For my final project I am choosing the environmental influences on.docx
For my final project I am choosing the environmental influences on personality particularly about childhood experiences and their effect on an individual’s personalities. I am contrasting childhood experiences that are caused by their environment to the effect on their personality, I will use the correlation research method. A questionnaire will be used in order to obtain the information I would need. This method would admit me to have a larger sample base, have a better image of the relationship, and numerous variables providing for better research circumstances down the road. The disadvantage to this technique would be, I would not have a personal relationship from those apart of the study and this could cause a lack of dishonesty. Second, establishing a questionnaire that was both dependable and accurate could be an issue. Lastly, I would only get a view at what those in the group went through.
Ethically, I would run into a problem of confidentiality and making sure all of the questionnaires were kept secret and those taking them were offered secrecy. Anyone who take part in the activity would be able to eliminate themselves from the research if they wanted to and if they left the documents it would be destroyed. I would maintain their best interest and would be real and honest with them regarding what the study is being used for and why it was being done. Still, because there isn’t a personal relationship but just general on this could be difficult to prove and cause doubt and that could be an ethical crisis.

Research Methods
There are many different types of research studies, and the type of study that is done depends very much on the research question. Some studies demand strictly numerical data, such as a comparison of GPA among different college majors or weight loss among different types of eating programs. Others require more in-depth data, like interview responses. Such studies might include the lived experience of people that have been through a terrorist attack or understanding the experience of being physically disabled on a college campus. While there are a number of different types of studies that can be done, all of them fall under two basic categories: quantitative and qualitative.
Quantitative Research
Quantitative research deals with numerical data. This means that any topic you study in a quantitative study must be quantifiable—grades, weight, height, depression, and intelligence are all things that can be quantified on some scale of measurement. Quantitative data is often considered hard data—numbers are seen as concrete, irrefutable evidence, but we have to take into account a number of factors that could impact such data. Errors in measurement and recording of such data, as well as the influence of other factors outside those in the study, make for ...

The document discusses a mental health assessment of a 16-year-old boy named Shawn who was brought to an outpatient clinic by his mother. The practitioner must work to engage Shawn in the assessment since he did not want to be there. The assessment aims to understand the chief complaint, make a diagnosis, identify the cause of issues, and develop a treatment plan while also assessing risk of suicide or homicide. The practitioner maintained good eye contact and listened well to Shawn. Areas for improvement include exploring why Shawn does not like school, obtaining more information about Shawn's relationship with his mother, and using open-ended questions.
Research problem
This document discusses how to generate a research problem and formulate a research question. It explains that the research question is the most important part of a research proposal as it defines the research and guides the inquiry. The document provides guidance on developing a good research question, including that it should be feasible, interesting, novel, ethical, and relevant. It also describes different types of research questions such as those asking about existence, description, relationships, causality, and comparisons. Overall, the key aspects covered are identifying a research problem and narrowing it down to a specific research question.

Chapter 1 Social Research
The document discusses different types of social research, including basic research, applied research, and social theory. It outlines purposes of social research such as exploratory, descriptive, explanatory, and evaluation research. Exploratory research aims to develop generalizations about relatively unstudied topics through qualitative analysis and inductive reasoning. Descriptive research objectively describes groups, activities, or events using quantitative analysis. Explanatory research uses existing theories and deductive reasoning to explain why subjects vary. Evaluation research assesses impacts of programs and policies. The document emphasizes that social research can help explore, describe, explain social phenomena, and evaluate policies and programs to create usable theories about society.

Identify levels of measurement of variables.
Analyze ethical concerns in research.
One of the most remarkable traits that August Comte mandated for Sociology was a core of
scientific rigor. He proposed the concept of positivism which is the scientifically-based
sociological research that uses scientific tools such as survey, sampling, objective
measurement, and cultural and historical analysis to study and understand society. Although
the current definition of positivism expands far beyond Comte’s original vision, sociological
scientific methodology is used by government and industry researchers and across higher
education and the private sector. Comte was originally interested in social statistics, why
societies remain the same, and social dynamics, why societies change. Most sociological
research today falls within these broad categories. Sociologists strive for objectivity, which
is the ability to study and observe without distortion or bias, especially personal bias. Bias-
free research is an ideal that, which if not present, could open the door to extreme
misinterpretation of research findings.
Sociology is both different from and similar to other scientific principles. It differs from
chemistry, biology, and physics in that sociology does not manipulate the physical
environment using established natural science theories and principles. It is similar to
chemistry, biology, and physics in that statistical principles guide the discovery and
confirmation of data findings. Yet, sociology has no universally social laws that resemble
gravity or the speed of light, as other scientific methods do. This is because chemistry,
biology, and physics have the luxury of studying phenomena which are acted upon by laws
of nature. Sociologists study people, groups, communities, and societies which are
comprised of agents, people who use their agency to make choices based on their varied
motivations.1

Social identity theory & MLK
Social identity theory proposes that people derive part of their self-concept from group memberships. It explains how social categorization and comparisons between in-groups and out-groups impact behavior. Several studies discussed provide evidence for this, such as Tajfel's finding that random groupings led to in-group favoritism, and research showing that threats to social identity increase stress levels and derogation of out-groups. However, the theory also has limitations, as some studies had low ecological validity or did not fully account for factors like poverty. Overall, social identity theory effectively explains phenomena like in-group bias, conformity, and intergroup conflict, though more research is still needed.
Memory pp
Schemas influence memory formation and retrieval in several ways. Bartlett (1932) found that British participants assimilated and distorted a story to fit their cultural schemas over repeated retellings. Johnson and Bayford (1972) showed that providing a laundry schema before a paragraph improved recall versus no schema. Brewer and Treyens (1981) found schemas aided recall of typical office items but atypical items like a skull were also recalled. Allport and Postman (1947) showed racial schemas distorted a story's retelling between white and black participants. Overall, schemas act as filters that organize new information and reconstruct memories to fit existing knowledge structures.
Loftus and memory pp
This document discusses several studies that demonstrate how memory can be unreliable and manipulated. The Loftus and Palmer (1974) study showed that using different words to ask about a car crash led participants to estimate different speeds. Later studies showed how false memories could be implanted about experiences like hot air balloon rides. Even memories of stressful events like interrogations were found to be vulnerable to misinformation. These studies highlight how human memory reconstructs rather than perfectly recalls experiences, and is influenced by new information.
Flashbulb Memories
Flashbulb memories are highly vivid memories of learning about a shocking or emotional event. Early studies found that people had accurate memories of the context and their reactions to significant events like the JFK assassination. However, later studies found that flashbulb memories lack consistency and accuracy over time, even if confidence in the memories remains high. While emotional events may be more memorable initially, repeated testing has shown that flashbulb memories are reconstructive and details can change substantially within a few years of the event.
Stereotypes 2018
This document discusses stereotypes from several perspectives:
1. It defines stereotypes as generalizations made about groups that get applied to individuals. Several theories on the origins of stereotypes are presented, including social categorization and the "grain of truth" hypothesis.
2. Research is summarized that shows how holding stereotypes can impact perceptions and expectations of others. Studies demonstrate stereotypes influence judgments of intelligence and ability.
3. Additional research shows how knowing stereotypes exist about one's own group can negatively impact performance through "stereotype threat."
4. The document ends by reviewing studies on ways stereotypes may be overcome, such as exposing children to counter-stereotypical media portrayals and increasing awareness of implicit biases
Decision making
The document discusses two theories of decision making: the dual processing theory which describes two modes of thinking - fast/automatic and slow/deliberate, and the mindset theory which describes having either a growth or fixed mindset that impacts decisions. Research on the dual processing theory uses methods like brain imaging to study risky decision making in adolescents versus adults, while research on mindset theory uses interventions and surveys to study the relationship between mindset and academic achievement. The two theories differ in their focus on types of thinking and the types of evidence used to support them through research.
Genetics & Epigenetics
The document discusses genetics and its impact on human behavior. It begins by defining behavioral genetics and inheritance patterns. It then summarizes several twin and gene studies that examine the role of genetics in antisocial behavior. The studies found genetics account for about 50% of variations in antisocial behavior. The document also discusses the role of epigenetics in influencing gene expression and behavior based on environmental factors and parental experiences. In particular, it examines how stress and enriched environments in parents can lead to epigenetic changes that impact offspring behavior.
Social cognitive theory power point
Social Cognitive Theory explains how humans learn behavior through observational learning. This learning is shaped by cognition, environment, and reinforcement. Key aspects of SCT include modeling behaviors, self-efficacy, and outcome expectancies. Studies show children learn aggression from observing adult models, and children's aggression can be predicted by their self-efficacy and expectations of rewards for aggression. Monkey studies also show animals learn behaviors from their mothers.
Genetics & Antisocial Behavior
Genes contribute to about half of individual variations in antisocial behavior, according to twin studies. While genes may increase predisposition, they do not determine behavior alone. Studies found genetics account for 50% of antisocial behavior, but less impact for separated twins, showing environment also influences behavior. Research links low-activity MAOA genes interacting with childhood trauma to increased violence, suggesting genetics and environment combine to impact antisocial behavior.
Ethics 2018
This document discusses the ethical standards psychologists must follow when conducting research. It outlines the six main standards: informed consent, avoiding deception, protecting participants from harm, right to withdraw, debriefing, and confidentiality. The standards aim to protect human and animal participants. Researchers are required to receive informed consent, avoid or minimize deception, prevent physical and psychological harm, allow participants to withdraw at any time, debrief participants on the true purpose and any deception after the study, and keep participants' identities confidential.
Psychology Methodology
The document outlines the key steps and components of designing a research study in psychology, including developing an aim, methodology, and analyzing findings and conclusions. It discusses developing an aim that identifies the independent and dependent variables and target population. For methodology, it describes important considerations like participants/sampling, control conditions, design, validity, and reliability. It then covers specific methodology elements like treatment and control groups, repeated measures vs independent sample designs, reliability, and threats to internal and external validity.
Preventing violence
This document discusses several strategies for reducing violence and their relative effectiveness:
1) Self-control exercises, such as using only one hand for tasks, were found to decrease aggressive behavior for those who practiced them compared to a control group.
2) A yoga program in prisons resulted in increased self-control and less reported aggressiveness among inmates compared to a control group.
3) Teaching children empathy and perspective-taking skills led to less aggressive playground behavior than a control group.
4) However, anti-bullying programs in schools were found to be ineffective and possibly increased peer victimization.

Intro to psychological research cell phones
This document provides guidance on researching and forming an argument about whether cell phone use should be allowed in the classroom. It instructs students to brainstorm questions on the topic, categorize questions as open-ended or closed-ended, prioritize the most important questions, and find evidence from assigned readings to answer the questions. Students are then directed to create an argumentative thesis stating their claim and reasons, outline their argument with reasons and evidence, and analyze what types of evidence they are using to build their argument's credibility, engage emotions, or rely on logic.
Stress pp ib psych
This document discusses stress and its effects on the body and brain. It summarizes several studies that show: 1) Chronic stress can reduce the volume of the hippocampus and impair memory; 2) Chronic stress can weaken neurons in the frontal lobe and hippocampus while strengthening the amygdala; 3) High levels of the stress hormone cortisol can negatively impact memory, while moderate levels do not; 4) Children exposed to stress and violence who have high or low cortisol levels show delayed cognitive development compared to those with moderate levels.
Intro to sports psychology, motivation, & goal setting
This document discusses various topics related to sports psychology, including motivation, goal setting, and debates around high school athletics. It provides definitions and examples of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, as well as outlines for setting SMART goals. Students are prompted to reflect on their personal motivations and choose a sport/activity to focus on when discussing these psychology principles.
Sports psychology strategies
This document discusses several mental strategies that can help improve performance for competitions and life challenges. These include mental imagery, where top competitors visualize scenarios and outcomes to prepare; self-talk, using positive self-statements; personal mantras, short phrases that promote positive thinking; and controlling body language. The document encourages reflecting on weaknesses and overcoming barriers, then applying these mental techniques with specifics relevant to the individual's topic.
History of racism & portland
This document discusses the history and impacts of racism in Portland, Oregon and South Africa. It begins by defining race and racism, then outlines the origins and progression of racist ideologies and systems from the 14th century through today. Key periods discussed include the rise of slavery and colonialism between 1300-1600, the emergence of biological racism in the 19th century, and the Holocaust and civil rights movement in the 20th century. The document then examines examples of individual/interpersonal and systemic/institutional racism, and considers whether Portland exhibits racist traits through various examples and analyses. It concludes by reviewing apartheid in South Africa, the legacy of racism there today according to Trevor Noah's accounts, and ongoing issues discussed in recent news reports.
Intro to abnormal psych
This document provides an introduction to abnormal psychology, psychological disorders, and depression. It begins with defining key terms like abnormal and disorder, and discusses why these definitions are important but also tricky. It then explores different ways of defining abnormal behavior, including deviations from social norms, mental health, and ability to function. The document also discusses what makes a behavior considered abnormal and provides examples of mental disorders. It covers how psychologists diagnose disorders using the DSM manual and different approaches to understanding medical disorders. Specific topics related to depression are then outlined, including symptoms, causes, diagnosis process, and treatment options.
Personality
This document discusses personality traits and how they impact behavior. It defines personality as a set of qualities that make individuals unique. Trait theory holds that personalities are made up of traits, including cardinal, central, and secondary traits. The Big Five model identifies the main traits as openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. The document explains how taking a personality test can reveal someone's traits. While traits predict behaviors, personalities can change over time with conscious effort through steps like changing one's environment and rewarding new behaviors.
Gender pp
This document discusses gender identity and expression. It begins with an essential question about how humans develop gender identities and outlines learning objectives. It then defines sex, gender, gender identity, and gender expression. Several theories on the origins of gender are presented, including evolutionary theory, biological theory, and social learning theory. Criticisms of these theories are mentioned. The document discusses the development of gender identities in children and asks students to reflect on their own experiences. It stresses that gender is complex with biological and social influences, and that people exist along a gender spectrum. Transgender identities are defined and discussed.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
