Summary of Happiness
Introduction
In defining the meaning of happiness, the article, ‘Happiness,’ is divided into five different topic areas, these are, The Meanings of Happiness, Theories of Happiness, The Science of Happiness, Importance of Happiness, and the Pursuit and Promotion of Happiness. Each of the different topics takes to define different views on happiness, and its value to the life of a human. It is through this continued inquiry on how happiness affects the life of different individuals that the article completely delineates subject that is happiness.
“ Summary of The Meanings of Happiness”
The meaning of happiness is a philosophical question that comes to be an issue of debate. Philosophers have described it as well-being or flourishing. While this is not a definitive answer, there are two senses of happiness that delineate the philosophical understanding of what it entails. These are happiness as a state of mind and happiness as a measure of the value of wellness in the life that a person leads (Haybron, 2011). In the first sense, the definition of happiness refers to the psychological sense of an individual. In the second sense, the underlying understanding of happiness is tied to the welfare and utility derived from the quality of life that the individual leads.
“Summary of Theories of Happiness”
Several theories can be used in defining happiness. The first is the hedonist and life satisfaction theory. Under this theory, happiness is defined as a balance between the pleasant and unpleasant experiences in life. This balance is, in fact, improves one’s understanding of happiness. The life satisfaction theory, on the other hand, identifies happiness as having a positive attitude in life (Haybron 2011). The life satisfaction theory is dependent on the societal view of how one’s life is fairing. The achievements also play an important role in defining what exactly is perceived as happiness.
“Summary of Emotional State of View”
Another theory that is discussed in the article is the emotional state view. Under this theory, happiness is defined as an experience and not an amalgamation of different events in one’s life. It is a pleasant emotion. The mood of an individual in this category is a significant influence on their degree of happiness. The emotional state view looks at the involvement if emotional moods as the primary indicator of happiness (Haybron 2011). Other psychological and physical factors do not affect how the individual perceived happiness. The article then describes hybrid theories where different institutions are the basis for finding happiness. These are life satisfaction, pleasure, and emotional well being.
“ Summary of Science of Happiness”
Another important issue that is discussed in the article is the Science of Happiness. Under this inquiry, the author seeks to understand if happiness can be measure.
There are three main ways that psychologists study and conceptualize happiness:
1. Need and goal satisfaction theories which posit that happiness results from fulfilling fundamental human needs and achieving goals.
2. Genetic and personality predisposition theories which argue happiness is influenced by innate personality traits like extraversion.
3. Process/activity theories which suggest happiness can be improved by engaging in effortful activities.
While some argue happiness levels are stable over time, research shows subjective well-being, while associated with personality, can differ over time, suggesting happiness may be influenced by life experiences and behaviors as well. The psychology of happiness has applications in domains like education, business, health, and sports to enhance performance and quality of life.

Happiness
Many researchers from time immemorial have tried to understand the term ‘happiness’ in terms of factors that cause it and its implications on human lives. Happiness can be defined as the affective and cognitive appraisal of one's own life (check...seems close to original) words?which entails a high level of satisfaction of one's life just the way it is with the presence of positivity and absence of negativity (Garaigordobil 2). Fully introduce: Full introduce a source the first time you use it
Happiness can be categorized into four characteristics which include; resources where one feels in control of their life or a feeling of contentment, intimacy which entails friendships, relationships, and the ability to enjoy the presence of other people, competence which means the ability to do something successfully, and health which involves the awareness of the best practices for healthy living (Garaigordobil 2). Some researchers have tried to relate happiness with age and the results showed that a high level of happiness is experienced between 20-29 years and after 50 years although these findings are not entirely applicable to every society (Garaigordobil 2). Young toddlers seem to be always happy but as people grow older, they start to settle on spectrum of happiness which may either be extreme happiness or miserably unhappy state (Heap 7). Thesis Trouble: Need to work on thesis. Thesis statement is a clear, concise clam that states your argument—the claim that your essay will prove. Each supporting paragraph and example will connect and prove the thesis or discuss it in sone way. It is often the last sentence of the introduction.

Researches have shown that happiness in adolescents and college students is determined by friendships, altruism, social skills, academic excellence, cooperation, and possession of personal attributes like self-esteem and self-confidence (Garaigordobil 2). Happiness is also determined by other factors like levels of income, health, marital status, gender, race, education, age, and life cycle effects to mention but a few (Graham et al. 7).

Some of the general effects of happiness include; positive towards living life, increased sense of self-concept, boosted mental health, and increased performance in physical and social settings to mention but a few (Mehrdadi et al. 2).

The document provides a research proposal on assessing the degree of happiness among distance learning university students and its relationship to their life achievements. The proposal outlines the objectives as identifying students' happiness levels, problems impacting happiness, and measures to enhance professional skills. It details the research methodology which will use a mixed methods approach including surveys and interviews of 360 students from the Islamia University of Bahawalpur. Statistical analysis using SPSS will analyze the data. If completed, the study could help improve distance education programs and quality by better understanding factors influencing student happiness and achievement.
This document summarizes research on providing social and psychological support to research teams working in polar regions. It discusses the importance of positive emotions in expanding thought, building personal resources, and reducing the impact of stress. It also covers theories of subjective well-being, optimism, resilience, and goals. The document recommends selecting team members who are psychologically equipped based on these factors. It also suggests ways to increase resilience, such as creating positive work environments that foster flow states and changing attribution styles. Social influence and compliance theories are discussed to help diverse cultural groups work efficiently as a team.

Overview
Counseling professionals from different specializations frequently need to work together to provide effective services to students, families, and individual clients. This assignment asks you to address this need in two parts, using what you have learned in this course so far. In Part 1, focus on theory and concepts, creating your own description and evaluation of your specialization, based on the historical and philosophical development of the counseling profession. In Part 2, apply these ideas to a particular case situation, focusing on how a professional in your specialization might collaborate with professionals in other specializations to help meet the needs of the client.
Directions
Part 1
Evaluate the role of your specialization within the field of counseling, beginning with your own description of the field itself, including both the history and the philosophies involved, explaining where your specialization fits, and describing how your specialization might collaborate with one other specialization that you describe. Cite the articles or other sources you use for the basis of your ideas.
In this part, specifically address the following questions:
·
How would you describe the key philosophies of the counseling profession: wellness, resilience, and prevention? Choose a wellness model, and explain how that model impacts the way in which counselors view clients and the concerns brought to counseling, including the kinds of information counselors need to have about their clients.
·
How have those key philosophies developed? Provide a brief historical perspective of the counseling profession focused on the key philosophies of wellness, resilience, and prevention. Include the beliefs and assumptions that support those philosophies.
·
How did your specialization develop? Identify your preferred counseling specialization and describe how the specialization emerged or the profession developed, including the key ideas on which it is based.
·
What other counseling specialization works well in collaboration with your specialization? Briefly explain the history of how this other specialization developed, highlighting the ways in which it complements yours.
Part 2
Now, select one of the following two cases, either Ashley or Paul, as a foundation for illustrating how professionals in different specializations might work together to meet the needs of the client you choose:
Ashley
Ashley, a 12-year-old girl, admits to one of her teachers that she feels very depressed. Her mother has recently remarried, and Ashley is having difficulty adjusting to life with her stepfather and his two children. She is not able to concentrate in class or do her homework.
Paul
Paul, a 32-year-old man, seeks counseling at a commun.
This document is a literature review comparing the humanistic and psychoanalytic orientations in psychology. It discusses the key aspects and differences between the two approaches, including their philosophical views and effectiveness in treatment. The review finds that while both orientations have strengths and weaknesses, neither is clearly superior to the other. It concludes by proposing a new question for further study - how the humanistic and psychoanalytic orientations could potentially be integrated to form an improved approach that combines aspects of each theory.

This document summarizes a study that examined job strain and well-being among male and female teaching professionals. The study aimed to compare general well-being between groups of teachers based on gender and level of job strain (low or high). A sample of 100 teachers completed questionnaires measuring job strain and well-being. Results showed that male teachers with low job strain reported significantly higher well-being than female teachers with low job strain. Male and female teachers with high job strain also differed in well-being. However, female teachers with low and high job strain did not significantly differ in well-being. The findings suggest job strain impacts the mental health of both male and female teachers but may affect males more strongly.
The document is a study on the job happiness quotient of Indian managers across four companies: GDX Group, Reliance Money, HCL BPO, and Star Net. It finds that while the companies differ in business and aspects, there are some common factors that contribute to manager happiness across all companies. These include sense of accomplishment, age, compensation, working hours, stress, and ambition. A questionnaire was used to assess these factors for 100 managers total across the companies. The results found that sense of accomplishment and ambition were higher for managers at GDX Group and Reliance Money, while stress was highest for Reliance Money managers. Working hours tended to be longer for Reliance Money and Star Net.

- 48% of individual happiness is determined genetically according to 40 years of research. While genetics play a role, accepting what cannot be changed and focusing on what can be influenced may increase life satisfaction.
- Money can improve living standards but not necessarily emotional well-being or happiness. Individuals can be content with modest means while others stay unhappy regardless of wealth due to greed.
- Rather than solely focusing on depression, researchers and companies should also study what makes people happy without drugs. Individual adaptive strategies like accepting circumstances can lead to a satisfactory life more than external mechanisms aimed just at reducing negative emotions.

This document reviews what is known about happiness at work, including how it has been defined and measured, its antecedents, and its consequences. Happiness at work encompasses constructs like job satisfaction, work engagement, and affective organizational commitment. It can be conceptualized at different levels - as transient states, stable individual traits, or collective attitudes. Research shows happiness at work is influenced by both individual and situational factors and has important outcomes for individuals and organizations. However, more work is needed to fully understand its causes and effects across different levels of analysis.
The document discusses the challenges and rewards of writing an essay on the topic of good health. It notes that good health encompasses physical, mental, and social well-being. The essay addresses the importance of thorough research, organizing ideas around the different facets of health, and crafting an engaging introduction and conclusion. While writing on this broad topic presents difficulties, the process of exploring perspectives on wellness and prioritizing health can be very rewarding. Seeking assistance from expert writers can help overcome challenges in creating a successful essay.
Research Goals and Research Questions-Qualitative or Quantitative-Give.docxhenry34567896
Research Goals and Research Questions:
Qualitative or Quantitative?
Given that you now know the philosophical differences in qualitative and qualitative research, you should now be able to distinguish between those types of research goals. See this list attached of research goals and research questions. 1) Match the research goal to the research question(s) and 2) identify them as either qualitative or quantitative (no mixed methods yet), and 3) explain WHY it is so.  Use the table below to cut/paste the goals and questions into and provide your answers. Look for specific key words to help you differentiate between qualitative and quantitative, and remember that the “why†answer is vital.
Research Goal
1. The goal of this study is to investigate whether leaders' well-being, in the form of positive affect and job stress, can be explained by leader-member exchange (LMX) quality at the group level of analysis.
2. What is the process of negotiating and reaching consensus within a particular social structure?
3. The purpose of this study is to explore how spousal carers of people with MS interpreted their lived experience with their partner, the way in they assigned meaning to their being in such a situation, and the skills and knowledge they have developed to live with their situation.
4. The purpose of this study was to investigate decision-making experiences and the social psychological processes family member surrogates use for health care decisions as they related to decision making with and for a terminally ill family member.
5. The purpose of this study is to examine the extent to which leaders' and teams' goals work together to affect a range of outcomes when their teams fail to regulate (i.e., when they focus exclusively on one particular type of goal). We explicitly focused on learning and performance goals because this distinction is perhaps the most obvious and salient type of goal tension in work organizations.
6. What role does friendship play in girls’ developing sense of self? Specifically, does girls’ friendship provide a form of resilience as they transition from childhood to adolescence?
7. This study will examine the roles of experiential opportunities, organization-initiated cross-cultural experiences (i.e., those found in leadership development programs) and non-work cross-cultural experiences.
8. The goal of this study is to analyze the conditions under which women are promoted to top leadership positions and exploring the challenges they face post-promotion.
Research Questions
1. What do caregivers define as successful day-to-day experience?
2. How do girls describe the development of their sense of self during transition from childhood to adolescence?
3. Does group-level analysis of leader-member exchange explain leaders’ psychological states of leader well-being, in the form of positive affect and job stress?
4. After promotion, do female leaders experience a lack of support and/or challenges to their le.

This chapter aims to provide students with a comprehensive and integrated understanding of the many factors that have contributed to the evolution of counseling and psychotherapy theories and practices. It introduces an integral approach consisting of four interconnected quadrants addressing: 1) individual perceptions and meaning making, 2) behavioral/physical/neurological factors, 3) cultural and community influences, and 4) societal and professional impacts. The chapter discusses how this holistic framework can help students and practitioners think about clients in a non-reductionist way and make informed choices in applying appropriate counseling theories. It also emphasizes developing culturally competent skills to best serve diverse client populations.
But "Life Is Beautiful" is not about Nazis and Fascists, but about the human spirit. It is about rescuing whatever is good and hopeful from the wreckage of dreams. About hope for the future. About the necessary human conviction, or delusion, that things will be better for our children than they are right now.Life Is Beautiful (Italian: La vita è bella, Italian pronunciation: [la ˈviːta ˈɛ bˈbɛlla]) is a 1997 Italian comedy drama film directed by and starring Roberto Benigni, who co-wrote the film with Vincenzo Cerami. Benigni plays Guido Orefice, a Jewish Italian bookshop owner, who employs his fertile imagination to shield his son from the horrors of internment in a Nazi concentration camp. The film was partially inspired by the book In the End, I Beat Hitler by Rubino Romeo Salmonì and by Benigni's father, who spent two years in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp during World War II.
The document is a spiritual and psychological inventory completed by a husband as part of his wife's wellness practitioner training. It consists of 3 sections assessing his spirituality, introspection, and health practices. His responses showed an understanding of spirituality as connected to something larger. He finds fulfillment intrinsically through gratitude and perspective. The wife notes his openness but sees opportunities to deepen connection through meditation and introducing more CAM options after education. She would modify the interview process to elicit more detailed responses and allow clients to provide additional input.

1. organize the written portion of your paper with an Introduction, a Summary at the end, and 2 sections in between. You will also need to use at least 3 professional sources for this paper, and these should be listed on a separate Reference Page at the end of your paper.
2. In the first section of this 5 to 7 page double spaced paper, APA format (not including the title page and the Reference Page), list each characteristic from the paragraph above, and provide a definition of each (use 3 sources at least, for this information).
3. In the second section of this paper, describe what you can do to strengthen 3 characteristics within yourself. This will require some research, some careful self-reflection, self-awareness, and honesty. Include one goal behavior/action for each characteristic, that you will work to
accomplish within the next 3 to 6 months.

In 1952, Hans Eysenck examined 24 uncontrolled studies that looked at the effectiveness of counseling and psychotherapy and found that “roughly two-thirds of a group of neurotic patients will recover or improve to a marked extent within about two years of the onset of their illness, whether they are treated by means of psychotherapy or not [italics added]” (p. 322). Although found to have serious methodological flaws, Eysenck’s research did lead to debate concerning the effectiveness of counseling and resulted in hundreds of studies that came to some very different conclusions, such as the following:
It is a safe conclusion that as a general class of healing practices, psychotherapy is remarkably effective. In clinical trials, psychotherapy results in benefits for patients that far exceed those for patients who do not get psychotherapy. Indeed, psychotherapy is more effective than many commonly used evidence-based medical practices.…( Wampold , 2010a, pp. 65–66)

This assignment focuses on the tenet of conscious leadership, the importance of self-assessment, and reflection. Self-awareness is essential for developing management and leadership skills. Recognizing your own strengths, weaknesses, and values, and understanding emotional intelligence and learning styles can help you to be a more effective leader. Becoming self-aware is an ongoing process requiring introspection. The more often people practice self-reflection, the more opportunities they have to understand their own behaviors and adapt their approaches to working with other people, which can improve both your own and other's abilities to meet their professional goals.
Self-Assessment
For this assignment, you have the opportunity to take a variety of self-assessments to learn more about yourself and identify your assets and weaknesses as a leader. This will assist you in discovering how you can improve your own self-leadership skills. You will be asked to think critically about your results and submit a reflection as directed below. As a starting point, review the resources on conscious capitalism at: http://www.consciouscapitalism.org/. There are several helpful resources, including white papers and speech transcripts, available under the Content tab on the main page of this site. Conduct additional research beyond this website on the principle of conscious leadership.
Refer to the "Self-Assessment Links" resource in Topic Materials and complete each test. Be sure to document the results of each assessment to assist you in completing the reflection portion of the assignment below.
Self-Assessment Reflection
After completing the self-assessments, write a 1,000-1,250 word reflection in which you discuss the following:
1. Explain the characteristics of conscious leadership as defined by Mackey and Sisodia and compare them to the primary characteristics of two or three other leadership theories you have studied.
2. Describe the importance of self-awareness, self-concept, and emotional intelligence and the role they play in enabling effective conscious leadership.
3. Briefly summarize the results of each test you completed. In general, do you believe the results represent who you are as a leader? How will the results inspire you to be a conscious leader? Explain.
4. What insights have you gained about yourself after taking the assessments? How could this knowledge influence your values, attitude towards others, and how you approach new tasks in the workplace?
5. Explain the significance of the self-assessment results in relation to your individual behavior, your behavior within groups, and within organizations. What have you learned about your ability to manage others within the workplace? What have you learned about what it takes to manage yourself or how you respond to the management tactics of others within the workplace?
Include at least four academic references for this assignment to support your analysis and reflection.

This study aimed to examine the relationships between self-disclosure, mindfulness, happiness, and well-being. It collected data from 486 participants using online surveys. The results showed a weak relationship between mindfulness and self-disclosure. Mindfulness had a strong relationship with happiness and well-being. Mindfulness and self-disclosure were both predictors of happiness and well-being, but mindfulness was a stronger predictor. Higher levels of mindfulness and self-disclosure were associated with greater happiness and well-being. In conclusion, mindfulness appears to be more beneficial for living a happy and healthy life than self-disclosure.

Due Week 2 and worth 200 points
Dr. John Bradley is an Emergency Room physician. He worked a 24-hour shift due to a staff shortage. As a result, he had a patient that died because he failed to provide a duty of care, he breached his duty, and caused an injury. A prima facie case of negligence was established when Dr. Bradley failed to provide appropriate medical care. Liability was also based on ‘res ipsa loguitor’ (the thing speaks for itself). The incident is considered a Sentinel Event and must be reported to The Joint Commission (a non-profit hospital regulatory agency).
After a trend analysis of several Sentinel Events, “We Care Hospital” fired the Health Care Administrator. As a result, you were hired as the new Health Care Administrator. You have reviewed the Sentinel Event with Dr. John Bradley and discovered several factors that showed the hospital was negligent. The three basic forms for negligence are malfeasance, misfeasance, and nonfeasance. Your first task is to rationalize your answers by using any applicable legal precedents.

1 The Role of the Correctional Counselor CHAPTER OBJECTIVES After reading this chapter, you will be able to: 1. Identify the functions and parameters of the counseling process. 2. Discuss the competing interests between security and counseling in the correctional counseling process. 3. Know common terms and concerns associated with custodial corrections. 4. Understand the role of the counselor as facilitator. 5. Identify the various personal characteristics associated with effective counselors. 6. Be aware of the impact that burnout can have on a counselor’s professional performance. 7. Identify the various means of training and supervision associated with counseling. PART ONE: A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO COUNSELING AND CORRECTIONS There are many myths concerning the concept of counseling. Although the image of the counseling field has changed dramatically over the past two or three decades, much of society still views counseling and therapy as a mystic process reserved for those who lack the ability to handle life issues effectively. While the concept of counseling is often misunderstood, the problem is exacerbated when attempting to introduce the idea of correctional counseling. Therefore, the primary goal of this chapter is to provide a working definition of correctional counseling that includes descriptions of how and when it is carried out. In order to understand the concept of correctional counseling, however, the two words that derive the concept must first be defined: “corrections” and “counseling.” In addition, a concerted effort is made to identify the myriad of legal and ethical issues that pertain to counselors working with offenders. It is very difficult to identify a single starting point for the counseling profession. In essence, there were various movements occurring simultaneously that later evolved into what we now describe as counseling. One of the earliest connections to the origins of counseling took place in Europe during the Middle Ages (Brown & Srebalus, 2003). The primary objective was assisting individuals with career choices. This type of counseling service is usually described by the concept of “guidance.” In the late 1800s Wilhelm Wundt and G. Stanley Hall created two of the first known psychological laboratories aimed at studying and treating individuals with psychological and e.

· Debates continue regarding what constitutes an appropriate role for the judiciary. Some argue that federal judges have become too powerful and that judges “legislate from the bench.”
1. What does it mean for a judge to be an activist?
2. What does it mean for a judge to be a restrainist?
· Although conservatives had long complained about the activism of liberal justices and judges, in recent years conservative judges and justices have been likely to overturn precedents and question the power of elected institutions of government.
3. When is judicial activism appropriate? Explain.
· To defenders of the right to privacy, it is implicitly embodied in the Constitution in the First, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth, and Fourteenth Amendments. To opponents, it is judge-made law because there is no explicit reference to it under the Constitution. The right to privacy dates back to at least 1890, when Boston attorneys Samuel Warren and Louis Brandeis equated it with the right to be left alone from journalists who engaged in yellow journalism.
4. In short, do you believe a right to privacy exists in the federal Constitution. Why or why not?

A case study.
Deborah Shore, aged 45, works for a small corporation in the Research and Development department.
When she first became a member of the department 15 years ago, Deborah was an unusually creative and productive researcher; her efforts quickly resulted in raises and promotions within the department and earned her the respect of her colleagues. Now, Deborah finds herself less interested in doing research; she is no longer making creative contributions to her department, although she is making contributions to its administration.
She is still respected by the coworkers who have known her since she joined the firm, but not by her younger coworkers.
Analyze the case study from the psychoanalytic, learning, and contextual perspectives: how would a theorist from each perspective explain Deborah's development? Which perspective do you believe provides the most adequate explanation, and why?
2. Interview your mother (and grandmothers, if possible), asking about experiences with childbirth. Include your own experiences if you have had children. Write a paper summarizing these childbirth experiences and comparing them with the contemporary experiences described in the text.
3. Identify a "type" of parent (e.g., single parent, teenage parent, low-income parent, dual-career couple) who is most likely to be distressed because an infant has a "difficult" temperament. Explain why you believe that this type of parent would have particular problems with a difficult infant. Write an informational brochure for the selected type of parent. The brochure should include an explanation of temperament in general and of the difficult temperament in particular, and give suggestions for parents of difficult infants.
4. Plan an educational unit covering nutrition, health, and safety for use with preschoolers and kindergartners. Take into account young children's cognitive and linguistic characteristics. The project should include (1) an outline of the content of the unit; and (2) a description of how the content would be presented, given the intellectual abilities of preschoolers. For example, how long would each lesson be? What kinds of pictures or other audiovisual materials would be used? How would this content be integrated with the children's other activities in preschool or kindergarten?
5. Visit two day care centers and evaluate each center using the information from the text as a guide. Request a fee schedule from each center. Write a paper summarizing your evaluation of each center.
Note:
Unless you are an actual potential client of the center, contact the director beforehand to explain the actual purpose of the visit, obtain permission to visit, and schedule your visit so as to minimize disruption to the center's schedule.
6. Watch some children's television programs and advertising, examine some children's toys and their packaging, read some children's books, and listen to some children's recor.

- 48% of individual happiness is determined genetically according to 40 years of research. While genetics play a role, accepting what cannot be changed and focusing on what can be influenced may increase life satisfaction.
- Money can improve living standards but not necessarily emotional well-being or happiness. Individuals can be content with modest means while others stay unhappy regardless of wealth due to greed.
- Rather than solely focusing on depression, researchers and companies should also study what makes people happy without drugs. Individual adaptive strategies like accepting circumstances can lead to a satisfactory life more than external mechanisms aimed just at reducing negative emotions.

Doing a self diagnostic on a regular basis is important. This is easier than you think. I have listed some important questions along with an anonymous interview of answers. Be honest and see where you are.
This document reviews what is known about happiness at work, including how it has been defined and measured, its antecedents, and its consequences. Happiness at work encompasses constructs like job satisfaction, work engagement, and affective organizational commitment. It can be conceptualized at different levels - as transient states, stable individual traits, or collective attitudes. Research shows happiness at work is influenced by both individual and situational factors and has important outcomes for individuals and organizations. However, more work is needed to fully understand its causes and effects across different levels of analysis.
The document discusses the challenges and rewards of writing an essay on the topic of good health. It notes that good health encompasses physical, mental, and social well-being. The essay addresses the importance of thorough research, organizing ideas around the different facets of health, and crafting an engaging introduction and conclusion. While writing on this broad topic presents difficulties, the process of exploring perspectives on wellness and prioritizing health can be very rewarding. Seeking assistance from expert writers can help overcome challenges in creating a successful essay.
Research Goals and Research Questions-Qualitative or Quantitative-Give.docxhenry34567896
Research Goals and Research Questions:
Qualitative or Quantitative?
Given that you now know the philosophical differences in qualitative and qualitative research, you should now be able to distinguish between those types of research goals. See this list attached of research goals and research questions. 1) Match the research goal to the research question(s) and 2) identify them as either qualitative or quantitative (no mixed methods yet), and 3) explain WHY it is so.  Use the table below to cut/paste the goals and questions into and provide your answers. Look for specific key words to help you differentiate between qualitative and quantitative, and remember that the “why†answer is vital.
Research Goal
1. The goal of this study is to investigate whether leaders' well-being, in the form of positive affect and job stress, can be explained by leader-member exchange (LMX) quality at the group level of analysis.
2. What is the process of negotiating and reaching consensus within a particular social structure?
3. The purpose of this study is to explore how spousal carers of people with MS interpreted their lived experience with their partner, the way in they assigned meaning to their being in such a situation, and the skills and knowledge they have developed to live with their situation.
4. The purpose of this study was to investigate decision-making experiences and the social psychological processes family member surrogates use for health care decisions as they related to decision making with and for a terminally ill family member.
5. The purpose of this study is to examine the extent to which leaders' and teams' goals work together to affect a range of outcomes when their teams fail to regulate (i.e., when they focus exclusively on one particular type of goal). We explicitly focused on learning and performance goals because this distinction is perhaps the most obvious and salient type of goal tension in work organizations.
6. What role does friendship play in girls’ developing sense of self? Specifically, does girls’ friendship provide a form of resilience as they transition from childhood to adolescence?
7. This study will examine the roles of experiential opportunities, organization-initiated cross-cultural experiences (i.e., those found in leadership development programs) and non-work cross-cultural experiences.
8. The goal of this study is to analyze the conditions under which women are promoted to top leadership positions and exploring the challenges they face post-promotion.
Research Questions
1. What do caregivers define as successful day-to-day experience?
2. How do girls describe the development of their sense of self during transition from childhood to adolescence?
3. Does group-level analysis of leader-member exchange explain leaders’ psychological states of leader well-being, in the form of positive affect and job stress?
4. After promotion, do female leaders experience a lack of support and/or challenges to their le.

This chapter aims to provide students with a comprehensive and integrated understanding of the many factors that have contributed to the evolution of counseling and psychotherapy theories and practices. It introduces an integral approach consisting of four interconnected quadrants addressing: 1) individual perceptions and meaning making, 2) behavioral/physical/neurological factors, 3) cultural and community influences, and 4) societal and professional impacts. The chapter discusses how this holistic framework can help students and practitioners think about clients in a non-reductionist way and make informed choices in applying appropriate counseling theories. It also emphasizes developing culturally competent skills to best serve diverse client populations.
But "Life Is Beautiful" is not about Nazis and Fascists, but about the human spirit. It is about rescuing whatever is good and hopeful from the wreckage of dreams. About hope for the future. About the necessary human conviction, or delusion, that things will be better for our children than they are right now.Life Is Beautiful (Italian: La vita è bella, Italian pronunciation: [la ˈviːta ˈɛ bˈbɛlla]) is a 1997 Italian comedy drama film directed by and starring Roberto Benigni, who co-wrote the film with Vincenzo Cerami. Benigni plays Guido Orefice, a Jewish Italian bookshop owner, who employs his fertile imagination to shield his son from the horrors of internment in a Nazi concentration camp. The film was partially inspired by the book In the End, I Beat Hitler by Rubino Romeo Salmonì and by Benigni's father, who spent two years in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp during World War II.
The document is a spiritual and psychological inventory completed by a husband as part of his wife's wellness practitioner training. It consists of 3 sections assessing his spirituality, introspection, and health practices. His responses showed an understanding of spirituality as connected to something larger. He finds fulfillment intrinsically through gratitude and perspective. The wife notes his openness but sees opportunities to deepen connection through meditation and introducing more CAM options after education. She would modify the interview process to elicit more detailed responses and allow clients to provide additional input.

In 1952, Hans Eysenck examined 24 uncontrolled studies that looked at the effectiveness of counseling and psychotherapy and found that “roughly two-thirds of a group of neurotic patients will recover or improve to a marked extent within about two years of the onset of their illness, whether they are treated by means of psychotherapy or not [italics added]” (p. 322). Although found to have serious methodological flaws, Eysenck’s research did lead to debate concerning the effectiveness of counseling and resulted in hundreds of studies that came to some very different conclusions, such as the following:
It is a safe conclusion that as a general class of healing practices, psychotherapy is remarkably effective. In clinical trials, psychotherapy results in benefits for patients that far exceed those for patients who do not get psychotherapy. Indeed, psychotherapy is more effective than many commonly used evidence-based medical practices.…( Wampold , 2010a, pp. 65–66)

1 The Role of the Correctional Counselor CHAPTER OBJECTIVES After reading this chapter, you will be able to: 1. Identify the functions and parameters of the counseling process. 2. Discuss the competing interests between security and counseling in the correctional counseling process. 3. Know common terms and concerns associated with custodial corrections. 4. Understand the role of the counselor as facilitator. 5. Identify the various personal characteristics associated with effective counselors. 6. Be aware of the impact that burnout can have on a counselor’s professional performance. 7. Identify the various means of training and supervision associated with counseling. PART ONE: A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO COUNSELING AND CORRECTIONS There are many myths concerning the concept of counseling. Although the image of the counseling field has changed dramatically over the past two or three decades, much of society still views counseling and therapy as a mystic process reserved for those who lack the ability to handle life issues effectively. While the concept of counseling is often misunderstood, the problem is exacerbated when attempting to introduce the idea of correctional counseling. Therefore, the primary goal of this chapter is to provide a working definition of correctional counseling that includes descriptions of how and when it is carried out. In order to understand the concept of correctional counseling, however, the two words that derive the concept must first be defined: “corrections” and “counseling.” In addition, a concerted effort is made to identify the myriad of legal and ethical issues that pertain to counselors working with offenders. It is very difficult to identify a single starting point for the counseling profession. In essence, there were various movements occurring simultaneously that later evolved into what we now describe as counseling. One of the earliest connections to the origins of counseling took place in Europe during the Middle Ages (Brown & Srebalus, 2003). The primary objective was assisting individuals with career choices. This type of counseling service is usually described by the concept of “guidance.” In the late 1800s Wilhelm Wundt and G. Stanley Hall created two of the first known psychological laboratories aimed at studying and treating individuals with psychological and e.

· Debates continue regarding what constitutes an appropriate role for the judiciary. Some argue that federal judges have become too powerful and that judges “legislate from the bench.”
1. What does it mean for a judge to be an activist?
2. What does it mean for a judge to be a restrainist?
· Although conservatives had long complained about the activism of liberal justices and judges, in recent years conservative judges and justices have been likely to overturn precedents and question the power of elected institutions of government.
3. When is judicial activism appropriate? Explain.
· To defenders of the right to privacy, it is implicitly embodied in the Constitution in the First, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth, and Fourteenth Amendments. To opponents, it is judge-made law because there is no explicit reference to it under the Constitution. The right to privacy dates back to at least 1890, when Boston attorneys Samuel Warren and Louis Brandeis equated it with the right to be left alone from journalists who engaged in yellow journalism.
4. In short, do you believe a right to privacy exists in the federal Constitution. Why or why not?

A case study.
Deborah Shore, aged 45, works for a small corporation in the Research and Development department.
When she first became a member of the department 15 years ago, Deborah was an unusually creative and productive researcher; her efforts quickly resulted in raises and promotions within the department and earned her the respect of her colleagues. Now, Deborah finds herself less interested in doing research; she is no longer making creative contributions to her department, although she is making contributions to its administration.
She is still respected by the coworkers who have known her since she joined the firm, but not by her younger coworkers.
Analyze the case study from the psychoanalytic, learning, and contextual perspectives: how would a theorist from each perspective explain Deborah's development? Which perspective do you believe provides the most adequate explanation, and why?
2. Interview your mother (and grandmothers, if possible), asking about experiences with childbirth. Include your own experiences if you have had children. Write a paper summarizing these childbirth experiences and comparing them with the contemporary experiences described in the text.
3. Identify a "type" of parent (e.g., single parent, teenage parent, low-income parent, dual-career couple) who is most likely to be distressed because an infant has a "difficult" temperament. Explain why you believe that this type of parent would have particular problems with a difficult infant. Write an informational brochure for the selected type of parent. The brochure should include an explanation of temperament in general and of the difficult temperament in particular, and give suggestions for parents of difficult infants.
4. Plan an educational unit covering nutrition, health, and safety for use with preschoolers and kindergartners. Take into account young children's cognitive and linguistic characteristics. The project should include (1) an outline of the content of the unit; and (2) a description of how the content would be presented, given the intellectual abilities of preschoolers. For example, how long would each lesson be? What kinds of pictures or other audiovisual materials would be used? How would this content be integrated with the children's other activities in preschool or kindergarten?
5. Visit two day care centers and evaluate each center using the information from the text as a guide. Request a fee schedule from each center. Write a paper summarizing your evaluation of each center.
Note:
Unless you are an actual potential client of the center, contact the director beforehand to explain the actual purpose of the visit, obtain permission to visit, and schedule your visit so as to minimize disruption to the center's schedule.
6. Watch some children's television programs and advertising, examine some children's toys and their packaging, read some children's books, and listen to some children's recor.

A People’s History of Modern Europe
“A fascinating journey across centuries towards the world as we experience it today. ... It is
the voice of the ordinary people, and women in particular, their ideas and actions, protests
and sufferings that have gone into the making of this alternative narrative.”
——Sobhanlal Datta Gupta, former Surendra Nath Banerjee
Professor of Political Science, University of Calcutta
“A history of Europe that doesn’t remove the Europeans. Here there are not only kings,
presidents and institutions but the pulse of the people and social organizations that shaped
Europe. A must-read.”
——Raquel Varela, Universidade Nova de Lisboa
“Lively and engaging. William A Pelz takes the reader through a thousand years of
European history from below. This is the not the story of lords, kings and rulers. It is the
story of the ordinary people of Europe and their struggles against those lords, kings and
rulers, from the Middle Ages to the present day. A fine introduction.”
——Francis King, editor, Socialist History
“This book is an exception to the rule that the winner takes all. It highlights the importance
of the commoners which often is only shown in the dark corners of mainstream history
books. From Hussites, Levellers and sans-culottes to the women who defended the Paris
Commune and the workers who occupied the shipyards during the Carnation revolution in
Portugal. The author gives them their deserved place in history just like Howard Zinn did
for the American people.”
——Sjaak van der Velden, International Institute of Social History, Amsterdam
“The author puts his focus on the lives and historical impact of those excluded from
power and wealth: peasants and serfs of the Middle Ages, workers during the Industrial
Revolution, women in a patriarchic order that transcended different eras. This focus not
only makes history relevant for contemporary debates on social justice, it also urges the
reader to develop a critical approach.”
——Ralf Hoffrogge, Ruhr-Universität Bochum
“An exciting story of generations of people struggling for better living conditions, and for
social and political rights. ... This story has to be considered now, when the very notions of
enlightenment, progress and social change are being questioned.”
——Boris Kagarlitsky, director of Institute for globalization studies and social
movements, Moscow, and author of From Empires to Imperialism
“A splendid antidote to the many European histories dominated by kings, businessmen
and generals. It should be on the shelves of both academics and activists ... A lively and
informative intellectual tour-de-force.”

· Clarifying some things on the Revolution I am going to say som.docxgerardkortney
· Clarifying some things on the Revolution
I am going to say something, and I want you to hear me.
I am a scholar of the Revolution. That's the topic of my dissertation. Please believe me when I say that I know a lot about it.
I also happen to know--and this is well-supported by historians--that the Revolution was a civil war in which, for the first several years, Revolutionaries and Loyalists were evenly matched.
I will repeat that. Evenly matched. Loyalists were not merely too cowardly to fight, and they were not old fogies who hated the idea of freedom. Most had been in the Colonies for generations. Many of them took up arms for their King and their country. And when they lost, you confiscated their homes and they fled with the clothes on their back to Canada, England, and other places of the Empire. Both sides--both sides--committed unspeakable atrocities against civilians whom they disagreed with.
Now, a lot of you love to repeat some very fervent patriotic diatribe about how great the Revolution was. That's not history. That's propaganda. Know the difference.
History has shades of gray. History is complex and ambiguous. Washington, for instance, wore dentures made from the teeth of his slaves. Benjamin Franklin's son was the last royal governor of New Jersey. Did you know that the net tax rate for Americans--they always conveniently leave this out of the textbooks--was between 1.9 and 2.1%, depending on colony.? And that was if they had paid the extra taxes on tea and paper.
And, wait for it, people who support California independence use the same logic and arguments as they did in 1775. Did you know that the Los Angeles and Washington are only a few hundred miles closer than Boston and London? That many of the same issues, point by point, are repeating here in California? So put yourself in those shoes. How many of you would have sided with the Empire (whether American or British) based on the fact that you don't know how this will shake out? Would you call someone who supports Calexit a Patriot? Revolutionary? Nutcase? Who gets to own that word, anyway?
You can choose that you would have supported the revolutionaries--but think. Think about the other side. They matter, and their experiences got to be cleansed out of history to make you feel better about the way the revolutionaries behaved during the War. Acknowledge that they are there, and that their point of view has merit, even if you not agree with it.

· Chapter 10 The Early Elementary Grades 1-3The primary grades.docxgerardkortney
· Chapter 10: The Early Elementary Grades: 1-3
The primary grades are grades 1-3.
Although educational reform has had an effect on all children, it is most apparent in the early elementary years. Reform and change comes from a number of sources and the chapter begins by reminding you of this. Let’s examine a few of these sources...
Diversity. There has been a rise in the number of racial and ethnic minority students enrolled in the nation's public schools; this number will (most likely) continue to rise. Teaching children from different cultures and backgrounds is an important piece to account for when planning curriculum.
Standards. Standards is a reason for reform. We've already looked at standards; these are something you must keep in mind when planning lessons.
Data-Driven Instruction may sound new, but it is not a new concept to you. We’ve done a great deal of discussing the outcomes of test-taking and assessments. You've probably all heard "teaching to the test."
Technology. Today’s students have had much experience with technology, therefore, it’s important to provide them with opportunities to learn with technology. It may take a while for you to be creative and think of ways to use it in your teaching (if you haven’ t been).
Health and Wellness. Obesity is a major concern in this country. Therefore, it is important to make sure that children have the opportunity to be active. Unfortunately, due to the pressure of academics, many schools have been taking physical education/activity time out of the curriculum.
Violence: One issue that I notice this new edition of the text has excluded is violence. However, I think that this topic is important; we need to keep children safe when they are at school. As a result of 9/11 (and, not to mention that many violent events have happened on school campuses in recent years), many school districts now have an emergency system in place that they can easily use if there is any type of incident in which the children’s safety is at risk.
WHAT ARE CHILDREN IN GRADES ONE TO THREE LIKE?
Your text explains that the best way to think of a child’s development during this time is: slow and steady. During this stage, there is not much difference between boys and girls when it comes to physical capabilities. Although it is always important to not stereotype based on one’s gender, it is especially important during these years. These children are also entering into their "tween" years, thus; being sensitive to the children's and parents' needs in regards to such changes is important.
It is important to remember that children in the primary grades are in the Concrete Operations Stage. This stage is children ages 7 to 12. The term operation refers to an action that can be carried out in thought as well as executed materially and that is mentally and physically reversible.
These children are at an age in which they can compare their abilities to their peers. And, therefore, children may develop learned helplessnes.

· Chap 2 and 3
· what barriers are there in terms of the interpersonal communication model?
Typically, communication breakdowns result from lack of understanding without clarification; often, there wasn't even an attempt at clarification. If barriers to interpersonal communication are not acknowledged and addressed, workplace productivity can suffer.
Language Differences
Interpersonal communication can go awry when the sender and receiver of the message speak a different language -- literally and figuratively. Not everyone in the workplace will understand slang, jargon, acronyms and industry terminology. Instead of seeking clarification, employees might guess at the meaning of the message and then act on mistaken assumptions. Also, misunderstandings may occur among workers who do not speak the same primary language. As a result, feelings may be hurt, based on misinterpretation of words or of body language.
Cultural Differences
Interpersonal communication may be adversely affected by lack of cultural understanding, mis-perception, bias and stereotypical beliefs. Workers may have limited skill or experience communicating with people from a different background. Many companies offer diversity training to help employees understand how to communicate more effectively across cultures and relate to those who may have different background experiences. Similarly, gender barriers can obstruct interpersonal communication if men and women are treated differently, and held to different standards, causing interpersonal conflicts in the workplace.
Personality Differences
Like any skill, some people are better at interpersonal communication than others. Personality traits also influence how well an individual interacts with subordinates, peers and supervisors. Extraversion can be an advantage when it comes to speaking out, sharing opinions and disseminating information. However, introverts may have the edge when it comes to listening, reflecting and remembering. Barriers to interpersonal communication may occur when employees lack self-awareness, sensitivity and flexibility. Such behavior undermines teamwork, which requires mutual respect, compromise and negotiation. Bullying, backstabbing and cut throat competition create a toxic workplace climate that will strain interpersonal relationships.
Generational Differences
Interpersonal communication can be complicated by generational differences in speech, dress, values, priorities and preferences. For instance, there may be a generational divide as to how team members prefer to communicate with one another. If younger workers sit in cubicles, using social networking as their primary channel of communication, it can alienate them from older workers who may prefer face-to-face communication. Broad generalizations and stereotypes can also cause interpersonal rifts when a worker from one generation feels superior to those who are younger or older. Biases against workers based on age can constitute a form of disc.

My Personality Theory Paper
Instructions:
For this assignment, you will write a paper no less than 7 pages in length, not including required cover and Reference pages, describing a single personality theory from the course readings that best explains your own personality and life choices. You are free to select from among the several theories covered in the course to date but only one theory may be used.
Your task is to demonstrate your knowledge of the theory you choose via descriptions of its key concepts and use of them to explain how you developed your own personality. It is recommended that you revisit the material covered to date to refresh your knowledge of theory details. This is a "midterm" assignment and you should show in your work that you have studied and comprehended the first four weeks of course material. Your submission should be double-spaced with 1 inch margins on all sides of each page and should be free of spelling and grammar errors. It must include source crediting of any materials used in APA format, including source citations in the body of your paper and in a Reference list attached to the end. Easy to follow guides to APA formatting can be found on the tutorial section of the APUS Online Library.
Your paper will include three parts:
I. A brief description of the premise and key components of the theory you selected. You should be thorough and concise in this section and not spend the bulk of the paper detailing the theory, but rather just give enough of a summary of the key points so that an intelligent but uniformed reader would be able to understand its basics. If you pick a more complicated theory, you should expect explaining its premise and key components to take longer than explaining the same for one of the simpler theories but, in either case, focus on the basics and keep in mind that a paper that is almost all theory description and little use of the theory described to explain your own personality will receive a significant point deduction as will the reverse case of the paper being largely personal experience sharing with little linkage to clearly described key theory components.
II. A description of how your chosen theory explains your personality and life choices with supporting examples.
III. A description of the limitations of the theory in explaining your personality or anyone else’s.
NOTE: Although only your instructor will be reading your paper, you should still think about how much personal information you want to disclose. The purpose of this paper is not to get you to share private information, but rather to bring one .

· Assignment 3: Creating a Compelling Vision
Leaders today must be able to create a compelling vision for the organization. They also must be able to create an aligned strategy and then execute it. Visions have two parts, the envisioned future and the core values that support that vision of the future. The ability to create a compelling vision is the primary distinction between leadership and management. Leaders need to create a vision that will frame the decisions and behavior of the organization and keep it focused on the future while also delivering on the short-term goals.
To learn more about organizational vision statements, do an Internet search and review various vision statements.
In this assignment, you will consider yourself as a leader of an organization and write a vision statement and supporting values statement.
Select an organization of choice. This could be an organization that you are familiar with, or a fictitious organization. Then, respond to the following:
· Provide the name and description of the organization. In the description, be sure to include the purpose of the organization, the products or services it provides, and the description of its customer base.
· Describe the core values of the organization. Why are these specific values important to the organization?
· Describe the benefits and purpose for an organizational vision statement.
· Develop a vision statement for this organization. When developing a vision statement, be mindful of the module readings and lecture materials.
· In the vision statement, be sure to communicate the future goals and aspirations of the organization.
· Once you have developed the vision statement, describe how you would communicate the statement to the organizational stakeholders, that is, the owners, employees, vendors, and customers.

For each of the following three scenarios, use a chart format to assess how each traditional theoretical perspective would best explain the situation that a social worker would need to address. You may create your charts in Word or another software program of your choice. An example chart follows the three scenarios.
Scenario 1
You are a hospital social worker who is working with a family whose older adult relative is in end-stage renal failure. There are no advanced directives and the family is conflicted over what the next steps should be.
Scenario 2
You are a caseworker in a drug court. Your client has had three consecutive dirty urine analyses. She is unemployed and has violated her probation order.
Scenario 3
You are a school social worker. A teacher sends her 9-year-old student to you because he reports that he has not eaten in 2 days and there are no adults at home to take care of him.
Chart Example:
Your client, an 11-year-old girl, was removed from home because of parental substance abuse. She is acting out in her foster home, disobeying her foster parents and not following their rules.

· Assignment 2: Leader Profile
Many argue that the single largest variable in organizational success is leadership. Effective leadership can transform an organization and create a positive environment for all stakeholders. In this assignment, you will have the chance to evaluate a leader and identify what makes him/her effective.
Consider all the leaders who have affected your life in some way. Think of people with whom you work—community leaders, a family member, or anyone who has had a direct impact on you.
· Choose one leader you consider to be effective. This can be a leader you are personally aware of, or someone you don’t know, but have observed to be an effective leader. Write a paper addressing the following:
· Explain how this leader has influenced you and why you think he or she is effective.
· Analyze what characteristics or qualities this person possesses that affected you most.
· Rate this leader by using a leadership scorecard. This can be a developed scorecard, or one you develop yourself. If you use a developed scorecard, please be sure to cite the sources of the scorecard. Once you have identified your scorecard, rate your leader. You decide what scores to include (for example, scale of 1–5, 5 being the highest) but be sure to assess the leader holistically across the critical leadership competencies you feel are most important (for example, visioning, empowering, strategy development and communication).
· Critique this individual’s skills against what you have learned about leadership so far in this course. Consider the following:
· How well does he/she meet the practices covered in your required readings?
· How well has he/she adapted to the challenges facing leaders today?
· If you could recommend changes to his/her leadership approach, philosophy, and style, what would you suggest? Why?
· Using the assigned readings, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet including general organizational sources like the Wall Street Journal, BusinessWeek, or Harvard Business Review, build a leadership profile of the leader you selected. Include information from personal experiences as well as general postings on the selected leader from Internet sources such as blogs. Be sure to include 2–3 additional resources not already included in the required readings in support of your leadership profile.
Write a 3–5-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M2_A2.doc.

Summary of Happiness
Introduction
In defining the meaning of happiness, the article, ‘Happiness,’
is divided into five different topic areas, these are, The
Meanings of Happiness, Theories of Happiness, The Science of
Happiness, Importance of Happiness, and the Pursuit and
Promotion of Happiness. Each of the different topics takes to
define different views on happiness, and its value to the life of
a human. It is through this continued inquiry on how happiness
affects the life of different individuals that the article
completely delineates subject that is happiness.
“ Summary of The Meanings of Happiness”
The meaning of happiness is a philosophical question that
comes to be an issue of debate. Philosophers have described it
as well-being or flourishing. While this is not a definitive
answer, there are two senses of happiness that delineate the
philosophical understanding of what it entails. These are
happiness as a state of mind and happiness as a measure of the
value of wellness in the life that a person leads (Haybron,
2011). In the first sense, the definition of happiness refers to
the psychological sense of an individual. In the second sense,
the underlying understanding of happiness is tied to the welfare
2. and utility derived from the quality of life that the individual
leads.
“Summary of Theories of Happiness”
Several theories can be used in defining happiness. The first is
the hedonist and life satisfaction theory. Under this theory,
happiness is defined as a balance between the pleasant and
unpleasant experiences in life. This balance is, in fact, improves
one’s understanding of happiness. The life satisfaction theory,
on the other hand, identifies happiness as having a positive
attitude in life (Haybron 2011). The life satisfaction theory is
dependent on the societal view of how one’s life is fairing. The
achievements also play an important role in defining what
exactly is perceived as happiness.
“Summary of Emotional State of View”
Another theory that is discussed in the article is the emotional
state view. Under this theory, happiness is defined as an
experience and not an amalgamation of different events in one’s
life. It is a pleasant emotion. The mood of an individual in this
category is a significant influence on their degree of happiness.
The emotional state view looks at the involvement if emotional
moods as the primary indicator of happiness (Haybron 2011).
Other psychological and physical factors do not affect how the
individual perceived happiness. The article then describes
hybrid theories where different institutions are the basis for
finding happiness. These are life satisfaction, pleasure, and
emotional well being.
“ Summary of Science of Happiness”
3. Another important issue that is discussed in the article is the
Science of Happiness. Under this inquiry, the author seeks to
understand if happiness can be measured. The article discusses
the arbitrary nature of happiness but offers some understanding
of how it might be measured. For instances, the self-reports that
an infidel gives is taken as an important consideration of how
happiness is perceived (Haybron 2011). When a person
specifically states that they are happy, then they can go ahead
and define the extent of their happiness. A second consideration
is comparing how different persons perceive happiness and their
definition of happiness. These cross-cultural comparisons of
what it means to be happy is another standard that can be used
to gauge how happy a person is (Haybron 2011). It is, however,
important to note that there are not objective measures of
happiness.
“Summary of Value of Happiness”
The authors then go ahead and discuss the Value of Happiness
in the life of a human being. The article first deters from the
hedonist theory in that happiness is not subject to mental
wellness but rather a function of other physical influences. It is
however important that an individual is happy as it directly
affects the quality of life they lead. From the article, a person
who is happy is more likely to have a fuller more complete life
compared to those who are not happy. Secondly, there is a
doctrine of virtue that is associated with being happy. A person
that is happy often has a moral triumph in their life and
therefore have reason to be happy (Haybron, 2011).
“Summary of The Pursuit and Promotion of Happiness”
The final issue that the article discusses the Pursuit and
Promotion of Happiness. The pursuit of happiness is defined as

The Research Report
The Research Report serves as the deliverable towards partial
completion of the requirement for BA634. The requirement of
your research is expected to be built and constitutes the five-
chapter model. This document is not intended to be a one-time
or static document. The Research Report needs to be at least 14
pages and is written in the past and present tense, as
appropriate.
The Research Report should be a complete and concise
document that establishes your credentials as a relative expert
in the domain of your study. In all cases, a good understanding
of the specific domain will be necessary for the successful
completion of your study. It is vital that you stay current in the
literature germane to the study you are conducting and update
the chapters accordingly.
The following is the general structure of the Research
ReportChapter 1- Background/Introduction (3 – 4 pages)
In this section, present enough information about the proposed
work so that the reader understands the general context or
setting. It is also helpful to include a summary of how this
document is organized. Introduction
This section introduces the reader to the structural content of
your Research Report Problem Statement and Purpose of
Research
In this section, present a concise statement of a research-worthy
problem to be addressed (i.e., why the work should be
undertaken – don’t state “it was a requirement of the
professor”). Follow the statement of the problem with a well-
supported discussion of its scope and nature. The discussion of
the problem should include: what the problem is, why it is a
problem, how the problem evolved or developed, and the issues
and events leading to the problem. Your problem statement must
be clear, concise, to the point and able to be articulated in no
7. more than three sentences.Relevance and Significance
This section provides the necessary support for both the
problem statement of your study. Consider the following
questions and support your discussion by citing the research
literature:
· Why is there a problem? What groups or individuals are
affected?
· How far-ranging is the problem and how great is its impact?
What’s the benefit of solving the problem?
· What has been tried without success to correct the situation?
Why weren’t those attempts successful?
· What are the consequences of not solving the problem?
· How does the goal of your study address the research problem
and how will your proposed study offer promise as a resolution
to the problem?
· How will your research add to the knowledge base?
· What is the potential for generalization of your results?
· What is the potential for original work? Research Questions
In this section you will define the research questions you expect
to answer in your finding / results / conclusion sections. The
research question(s) must be directly related to the problem
statement and introduce the reader to their respective
relationships. The answers to the research question(s) need to
be either qualitative or quantitative.Barriers and Issues
In this section, identify how the problem is inherently difficult
to solve. You should also show how the solution you propose
are difficult to obtain (unlike a book report). You should show
the study you propose is of adequate difficulty to warrant a
successful grade assignment. Chapter 2 - Review of the
Literature (6-8 pages)
In this section, it is important to clearly identify the major areas
on which you will need to focus your research in order to build
a solid foundation for your study in the existing body of
knowledge. The literature review is the presentation of quality
literature in a particular field that serves as the foundation and
justification for the research problem, research questions or
8. hypothesis, and methodology. You will develop a more
comprehensive review of the literature as part of your report.
Chapter 3 - Approach/Methodology (1 - 2 pages)
Describe how you plan to address your research problem and
accomplish your stated goal. List the major steps that must be
taken to accomplish the goal and include a preliminary
discussion of the methodology and specific research methods
you plan to implement. Although specific details are not
required at this point, you must provide adequate discussion of
the general process you will follow to implement your research
methodology. Chapter 4: Findings, Analysis, and Summary of
Results (2 - 4 pages)
Chapter 4 includes an objective description and analysis of the
findings, results or outcomes of the research. Limit the use of
charts, tables, figures to those that are needed to support the
narrative. Most of these illustrations can be included as part of
the Appendixes.
The following topics are intended to serve as a guide:
· Data analysis
· Findings & discussion
· Analysis
· Summary of results & discussion Chapter 5: Conclusions (2 -
4 pages)
· Conclusions - Clearly state the conclusions of the study based
on the analysis performed and results achieved. Indicate by the
evidence or logical development the extent to which the
specified objectives have been accomplished. If the research has
been guided by hypotheses, make a statement as to whether the
data supported or rejected these hypotheses. Discuss alternative
explanations for the findings, if appropriate. Delineate
strengths, weaknesses, and limitations of the study.
· Implications - Discuss the impact of the work on the field of
study and its contributions to knowledge and professional
practice. Discuss implications for future research.
· Recommendations - Present recommendations for future
research or for changes in research methods or theoretical
9. concepts. As appropriate, present recommendations for changes
in academic practice, professional practice, or organizational
procedures, practices, and behavior.References
Follow the most current version of APA to format your
references. However, each reference should be single-spaced
with a double space between each cited entry. Make sure that
every citation is referenced and every reference is cited.
Research Report Structure
Notes:
· White space added to the report will negatively affect the final
grade of your report. Do not add extra space to your document
in an effort to extend the page count.Front Matter
· The front matter includes the following:
· Title Page
· Abstract
· Table of Contents
· List of Tables
· List of Figures Chapter 1 through 5 (12 pages): Back Matter:
· The back matter includes the following:
· Appendixes
· References Document Preparation – Form and Style
Form and style guidelines for a Research Report serve a number
of purposes: to ease adaptation of the document for publication
in whole or part, to ensure a level of professional appearance,
and ease the burden on the readers of the document by
presenting material in a logical, consistent fashion.
Nevertheless, form and style guidelines should not be
burdensome for Peer Reviewer or Professor. The bulk of the
effort in developing and mentoring a Research Report should
certainly be directed toward the quality of the thoughts being
presented, not the appearance of that presentation.
The current edition of the Publication Manual of the American
Psychological Association serves as the primary guide for
format and style. Since that manual focuses primarily on
publication in journals, some exceptions are necessary for a
Research Report. The Research Report guidelines are amplified
10. with examples of:
· Title Page (Appendix A)
· Table of Contents (Appendix E)
· List of Tables (Appendix F)
· List of Figures (Appendix G)
· First Page of a Chapter (Appendix H)
· Appendix Pages (Appendix I)
· Reference List (Appendix J)
References and Citations
One of the most important tasks in writing a Research Report is
to reference other works and sources in the text body. You must
provide a formal reference citation for each idea or statement
taken from the work of an individual or organization. Failure to
provide a reference citation, when one is appropriate, is
plagiarism, which is a violation of the university’s Code of
Student Conduct and Academic Responsibility. An act of
plagiarism will subject the student to disciplinary action
including suspension or expulsion from the university. Always
err on the side of caution when writing any formal paper. As
you conduct your work, keep accurate records that indicate
which portions of your Research Report are not your own words
and ideas. If you attempt to do this as an afterthought, you run
the risk of losing the source of the information and committing
plagiarism. Reference citations in the text should use the
author-date citation system specified in the current edition of
the Publication Manual of the American Psychological
Association. All reference citations must be listed
alphabetically in the References section at the end of the
document, again following the format specified in the current
edition of the Publication Manual of the American
Psychological Association. However, each reference should be
single-spaced with a double space in between each entry. Make
sure that every citation is referenced and every reference is
cited. Margins
The left-hand margin must be 1.5 inches (4 cm.). Margins at the
right, top, and bottom of the page should be 1.0 inch. (See
11. exception for chapter title pages below.) The Research Report
text must be left-aligned (leaving a ragged right edge). Line
Spacing
Double-spacing is required for most of the text in documents
submitted during the Research Report process. Pages for the
abstract, acknowledgments, and parts of the table of contents,
however, must be single-spaced in the Research Report. Single-
spacing also can be used for table titles and headings, figure
captions, references in a reference list (but double-spacing is
required between references in the list), footnotes, and long
quotations. Long quotations may be indented five spaces.
Judicial triple can improve appearance and readability and is
appropriate after chapter titles, before major subheadings,
before footnotes, and before and after tables in the text;
however, avoid open white spaces. Paragraph Spacing
The text of the document is double-spaced. There should be no
extra spaces between paragraphs in sections; however, indent
the first line of paragraphs five spaces (1/2 inch). Chapters must
begin on new pages. Page Numbering
Page numbers for the front matter, starting with the Table of
Contents, should be lowercase roman numerals, centered at the
bottom of the page. All pages following the front matter should
have page numbers in Arabic numerals in the upper right-hand
corner. The page order and numbering for the front matter is:
1. Title page is page i, but the page number is not printed.
2. Approval Signature page is page ii, but the page number is
not printed.
3. Abstract is page iii but the page number is not printed.
4. Acknowledgements is page iv and not to exceed one page.
The page number is not printed.
5. Table of Contents is page v and the page number is printed,
bottom center.
6. List of Tables (only present if the document contains tables)
is given the next page number in sequence, printed bottom
center.
7. List of Figures (only present if the document contains
12. figures) is given the next page number in sequence, printed
bottom center.
Type Style
For body text, you should use 12-point Times New Roman. Text
for the cover page may be larger but should not exceed 14-point
size. Text for the chapter title text should be 14-point size. Be
consistent in your use of typefaces throughout the document. Do
not use a compressed typeface or any settings on your word
processor that would decrease the spacing between letters or
words. Sans serif typefaces such as Helvetica or Arial may be
used for relatively short blocks of text such as chapter headings
and captions but should be avoided in long passages of text as
they impede readability. Title Page
Every document that is submitted, from the Research Report,
must have a title page. The title page includes the exact title of
the Master’s Thesis, date of submission, your name, and name
of the department which the report is submitted. Use the format
of the Sample Research Report Title Page provided in Appendix
A. The Abstract
The abstract (see Appendix es C) is single spaced. An abstract
is a stand-alone document and therefore, should not include
citations because it would then need references. Note that the
abstract must be fewer than 200 words. Chapter Title, Heading
1, Heading 2
It is preferred that Research Report contain no more than three
levels of headings in the body text. All headings should have
only the first letter of each word capitalized except that non-
major words shorter than four letters have no capital letters. See
Appendix H for a sample page for a first page of a chapter.
Instructions for heading levels follow:
Level 1: Chapter Title
This heading starts two inches from the top of the page, is
centered on the page, and is set in 14point type. The first line
contains the chapter number (e.g., Chapter 4). The second line
13. is blank. The third line displays the chapter title, is centered on
the page, and is set in 14-point type.
Level 2: Heading 1
Start heading 1 at the left margin of the page, four spaces (i.e.,
two returns when your document is set for double-spacing)
down from the title, set in bold 12-point type. Double-space
(one return) to the subheading body text. Indent the first line of
the body text five spaces.
Level 3: Heading 2
Start the heading 2 at the left margin of the page, double-spaced
(i.e., one return when your document is set up for double-
spacing) from the subheading, set in 12-point italics. Double-
space (one return) to the sub-subheading body text. Indent the
first line of the body text five spaces. Tables and Figures in
the Text Body
Charts, graphs, diagrams, figures, and summary tables that
significantly enhance reading of the Research Report should be
placed in the text body. Only include material in the text body
that is needed by the reader to understand the point(s) you are
trying to make. Other material should be placed in Appendixes.
Tables that summarize large amounts of data are best placed at
the end of the Master’s Thesis. If you have included data in
your text related to some point, then the full table containing
such data belongs in an Appendix. When using tables and
figures in the body of the paper, remember that the horizontal
center of the body is not at the center of the paper. It is 0.25” to
the right of center due to the 1.5” left binding margin. All tables
and figures that are less than body width must be centered
properly. Samples of a table and figure appear in Appendixes L
and M.
Appendix
Place in appropriate appendices all analytical tables, evaluation
instruments, and other material important in the determination,
evaluation, analysis, and description of your research that is not
contained in the text body (see section above). Use an Appendix
to present material that supplements the text or may be of
14. interest to readers but is too detailed or distracting for inclusion
in the main body of the text. Surveys, evaluation instruments,
original data, complicated mathematical tables, new computer
programs, computer printouts, and data collection forms are
examples of materials that are most appropriately appended. Do
not exclude material that would be necessary for another
researcher to replicate your work and that is not available
elsewhere. Include copies of IRB permission from the
sponsoring organization and from the study site. Present copies
of all letters and e-mails that allow you to use and modify
materials belonging to others. If appropriate, you may use a
titled cover sheet for an Appendix. Additional Resources
