Unit 1 Psychology: Foundations and Methods
Here are the steps I would take to design a valid experiment to test this hypothesis:
1. Randomly select and assign participants diagnosed with ADD to either the experimental group (given 20mg Adderall) or the control group (given placebo).
2. Use double-blind procedures so neither participants nor experimenters know who receives Adderall vs placebo.
3. Have all participants complete a focus time task both before and after taking the assigned pill to control for individual differences and measure any within-subject changes.
4. Use a standardized focus time task and measure focus time objectively (e.g. time on task) to reduce observer bias.
5. Ensure groups are equivalent on relevant demographic variables

SOCIALIZATION AND PERSONALITY & its factors
Socialization is the process by which individuals learn the norms, values, behaviors, and social skills needed to function in a particular society. It involves several agents of socialization like family, peers, educational institutions, and the media. Culture guides the socialization process by defining what should be learned and the appropriate way to socialize individuals. Personality develops through socialization as individuals acquire attitudes, beliefs, and learn to play different social roles. Both culture and personality influence each other reciprocally - culture shapes personality through socialization while unique individuals can also influence and change aspects of culture over time.
Aggression.pptx
The document discusses various factors that influence human aggression, including biological, social, cultural, and situational factors. It covers theories of aggression such as drive theories proposing that frustration and provocation arouse a motive to harm others. Modern theories include the social learning perspective and general aggression model. Cultural factors discussed include cultures of honor and sexual jealousy. The effects of media violence and how it can desensitize people are also summarized.
OCD.pptx
This document discusses body dysmorphic disorder, hoarding disorder, trichotillomania, excoriation disorder, and obsessive compulsive disorder. It covers the diagnostic criteria and epidemiology of each disorder, potential etiologies related to learning, modeling, life events and cognitive influences, considerations about sex and race, and typical disease course and treatment prognosis. Cognitive behavioral therapy and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are often effective treatments.
computer models of information processing & human cognition.pptx
This document discusses information processing theory, which uses the computer as a metaphor for how the human brain processes information. It originated in the 1950s when computers were first being developed, allowing psychologists to explain processes like attention, perception, and memory in terms of how computers input, store, and retrieve data. Several influential models are described, including Atkinson and Shiffrin's stage theory of sensory memory, short-term memory and long-term memory, as well as Craik and Lockhart's levels of processing model and connectionist models of parallel distributed processing. Limitations of the computer metaphor are also noted.
locus of control.pptx
The document discusses the health locus of control model, which is based on Rotter's social learning theory. It proposes that health behaviors are predicted by whether an individual believes they can perform a behavior and whether it will be effective (internal locus) or believes their health is controlled by external forces like chance (external locus). Those with an internal locus are more likely to take action to manage their health, while an external locus is associated with negative health outcomes. The Multiple Health Locus of Control scale measures beliefs about specific health situations. Self-efficacy, the belief in one's ability to perform a behavior, is also important to health behaviors according to social cognitive theory.
cross culture 1.pptx
The document discusses the historical approaches and methodological issues in cross-cultural psychology. It outlines how early cultural evolutionists like Tylor and Morgan used comparative analysis across cultures to identify cultural universals. Morgan specifically proposed stages of cultural development. Later, Murdock greatly advanced cross-cultural analysis by compiling data from over 300 cultures into the Human Relations Area Files. While providing a basis for cross-cultural research, issues with equivalence across cultures and sampling adequacy pose challenges to interpretation.
Test norms.pptx
The document discusses test norms and how they are used to interpret test scores. It provides details on different types of norms including developmental norms like mental age and grade equivalents, percentile ranks, standard scores, and the importance of considering the normative sample that scores are being compared to. It emphasizes that norms are specific to the population used to derive them and may not be comparable or transferable to other populations.
BIOFEEDBACK.pptx
Biofeedback is a technique that uses sensors and visual or auditory feedback to help people learn to control certain bodily functions like heart rate, blood pressure, and muscle tension. The goal is to make subtle changes to the body that result in desired effects like relaxation or reduced pain. Different types of biofeedback monitor things like respiration, heart rate variability, skin conductance, blood pressure, temperature, brain waves, and muscle tension. Biofeedback sessions involve connecting sensors to the body to monitor these functions, then using relaxation techniques while receiving feedback to help gain voluntary control over the bodily responses. It can be used to help treat various conditions like anxiety, depression, headaches, and digestive issues.
