This document discusses several issues related to assessing intellectual disability in Atkins cases where the death penalty is being considered. It notes that courts often do not properly understand factors like the Flynn effect, practice effects, measurement error, and the reluctance of schools to diagnose students as mentally retarded. As a result, individuals with intellectual disabilities are sometimes found not to meet the criteria, putting their lives at risk.

Name Professor Course Date Sexual Harassment Essay Outline I. Introduction A. Background 1. Despite ongoing public campaigns designed to prevent sexual harassment, this destructive behavior continues to be a widespread issue in the United States. Sexual harassment is particularly rampant on college campuses, where 62% of female students and 61% of male students report having been victims of this form of mistreatment, according to the AAUW Educational Foundation. Most of the harassment is noncontact, but about one-third of students are victims of physical harassment. B. Thesis Statement 1. Although mass media and news outlets alike tend to shy away from the sexual harassment problem occuring across our campuses nationwide, universities are failing to protect their students from sexual harassment resulting in mental health damage of both males and females in all parts of the nation II. Body A. Sexual Harassment Amongst Both Genders 1. Female Sexual Harassment In Comparison a) Statistics Regarding Harassment Committed Against b) General Concerns Over Safety Amongst Females 2. Male Sexual Harassment In Comparison a) Statistics Regarding Harassment Committed Against b) Lack of Awareness That Men Can Also Experience Harassment On College Campuses B. Sexual Harassment Being Neglected Nationwide 1. Lack of Media Coverage & Lack of Awareness a) Disregard Of A Widespread Issue Going On In Our Nation b) People Not Taking Sexual Harassment Seriously/Not Being Aware of It 2. Lack of Knowledge Regarding Universities Legal Duty to Protect Students a) Title XI Law of 1972 b) Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 C. Sexual Harassment’s Effect on Students Experiencing It 1. Short Term Mental Effects a) People Disregarding and Neglecting People Who Claim Sexual Harassment Can Cause Them Insecurity and Hopelessness b) People Tend To Blame Themselves For Being Harrassed 2. Long Term Mental Effects a) Depression and Inability To Trust Others b) Can Lead To Drastic Effects Like Turning To Drugs Or Committing Suicide, It is Afterall A Form Of Bullying III. Conclusion A. The failure of our nations awarness and our universities inability to abide to the law by protecting our students has resulted in many students being permanently damaged from sexual harassment B. We the people of the United States have gone through all the proper legal measures in order to guarantee the youths safety when attending college universities; yet these laws along with their $60,000 tuitions do not seem to be enough motivation for these universities to abide to the law. Does a student need to be found dead in the middle of the campus in order to get the message across?

Case 2 – How dumb can you getA recent news article reported t.docx

Case 2 – How dumb can you get? A recent news article reported that an employee of the City of Norfolk, Virginia had been on the payroll for some twelve years even though she had not reported to work for most of those years. This was apparently with the full knowledge of city officials. Familiarize yourself with the situation and comment on it. Who is at fault? Is anyone at fault? What should be the result? How would you fix that problem? Online Gaming Addiction: The Role of Sensation Seeking, Self-Control, Neuroticism, Aggression, State Anxiety, and Trait Anxiety Mehwash Mehroof, B.Sc. and Mark D. Griffiths, Ph.D. Abstract Research into online gaming has steadily increased over the last decade, although relatively little research has examined the relationship between online gaming addiction and personality factors. This study examined the relationship between a number of personality traits (sensation seeking, self-control, aggression, neuroticism, state anxiety, and trait anxiety) and online gaming addiction. Data were collected over a 1-month period using an opportunity sample of 123 university students at an East Midlands university in the United Kingdom. Gamers completed all the online questionnaires. Results of a multiple linear regression indicated that five traits (neuroticism, sensation seeking, trait anxiety, state anxiety, and aggression) displayed significant associations with online gaming addiction. The study suggests that certain personality traits may be important in the acquisition, development, and maintenance of online gaming addiction, although further research is needed to replicate the findings of the present study. Introduction Since the early 2000s, research into online gaming hassteadily increased,1–4 although relatively little has examined the relationship between online gaming addiction and personality. Gaming addiction (either online or offline) is not as yet an established diagnosis, although further research in the area may contribute toward its inclusion in future editions of the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM). Personality traits may play a role in addiction more generally, as many people seem to have personalities that may predispose them to addiction.5 One such trait could be sensation seeking.6 Although taking risks and experimenting with a variety of activities is considered normal, those who are prone to engage in sensation-seeking behaviors may find themselves at higher risks for developing a dependence on online gaming. However, studies suggesting sensation seeking as an explanation for online gaming addiction are inconsistent.2,7 Self-control may also influence online gaming. Ng and Wiemer-Hastings1 stated that since gamers can become easily absorbed in playing, their behavior may lead to a loss of time control. Research by Kim et al.8 shows some support for this view. However, there is still a general lack of research on the relationship betwe ...

Gresham Department of Psychology, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana So-called Atkins cases refer to individuals who have been sentenced to death for capital crimes who claim that the death penalty constitutes ‘‘cruel and unusual punishment’’ under the Eighth Amendment. Psychological testimony is influential because this testimony strikes at the very core issue in these cases; namely, whether or not the individual is mentally retarded. Despite the importance of psychological testimony, courts have not been made to understand the subtleties and complexities of the issues in diagnosing mental retardation. Five such issues are discussed in this article: (a) the nature of intellectual functioning, (b) the Flynn Effect, (c) measurement error, (d) practice effects, and (e) the nature of school ‘‘diagnoses.’’ Examples of each of these issues are illustrated with an actual Atkins case (Walker v. True, 2006). Key words: Flynn Effect, intelligence, measurement error, psychometric Around midnight on August 16, 1996, Daryl Renard Atkins and an accomplice (William Jones) abducted Erich Nesbitt with a semiautomatic handgun and robbed him of his money. Subsequently, they drove Nesbitt to an ATM and forced him to withdraw cash. He was then taken to an isolated spot where he was shot eight times and killed. During trial, both Atkins and Jones testified and confirmed each other’s account of the incident, except that Jones’ testimony was considered more credible than Atkins’. In fact, Atkins’ court testimony was substantially inconsistent with the testimony he gave police upon his arrest, whereas Jones declined to make a statement to authorities upon his arrest (Miranda Rights). During the penalty phase of the trial, the defense relied on Dr. Evan Nelson, a forensic psychologist, who had evaluated Atkins prior to trial and concluded that he was mildly mentally retarded based on a review of school and court records and a tested full scale IQ of 59 on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-III (WAIS-III). Atkins, however, was sentenced to death, and Jones plea bargained with Address correspondence to Frank M. Gresham, Department of Psychology, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA 70803. E-mail: [email protected] the prosecution in return for testimony against Atkins and was spared the death penalty. At a second sentencing hearing, another forensic psychologist, Dr. Stanton Samenow, expressed the opinion that Atkins was not mentally retarded and was functioning in the range of ‘‘average’’ intelligence. This opinion was based on two interviews with Atkins, a review of school records, the Wechsler Memory Scale (Wechsler, 1972), and interviews with correctional offi- cers. Dr. .

My Senior Project Presentation was called "The Gift of Life: Current Organ Donation Attitudes and Persuasive Messages". The study was conducted in order to discover what types of messages influence the decision to register or not register as an organ donor. Through quantitive methods and extensive research, our study found that emotional and sympathetic messages were the most effective in persuading people to register as organ donors.
