1) Psychology research aims to understand human behavior scientifically. It relies on empirical research methods to test hypotheses and establish causal relationships.
2) There are several types of descriptive research methods, including case studies, surveys, and naturalistic observation. However, these are limited because they cannot prove causation.
3) Experimental methods allow researchers to test hypotheses about cause-and-effect relationships by manipulating the independent variable and measuring its impact on the dependent variable. Control groups help rule out alternative explanations.

Social Cognitive Theory explains how humans learn behavior through observational learning. This learning is shaped by cognition, environment, and reinforcement. Key aspects of SCT include modeling behaviors, self-efficacy, and outcome expectancies. Studies show children learn aggression from observing adult models, and children's aggression can be predicted by their self-efficacy and expectations of rewards for aggression. Monkey studies also show animals learn behaviors from their mothers.
Robert Peck elaborated on Erikson's eighth stage of development by dividing it into middle age and old age periods. Middle age consists of four stages from ages 42-55 focusing on valuing wisdom over physical powers, social relationships over sexualizing, emotional flexibility, and mental flexibility. Old age involves developmental tasks of differentiating identity from work roles, transcending physical limits, and finding purpose through contributions to future generations. Successfully navigating these stages and tasks leads to healthy transitions into late adulthood.

This document discusses mental health and wellbeing. It defines mental health as a state of well-being that allows an individual to cope with normal life stresses and contribute productively to their community. Mental health is influenced by both protective and risk factors and allows people to respond to challenges. Around 20% of children and adolescents have mental disorders or problems, and mental disorders are the leading cause of disability worldwide. Stigma and discrimination prevent many from seeking needed mental health care.
This document provides information on self-injury (also called non-suicidal self-injury or NSSI). It defines different types of self-injury and reviews prevalence rates among adolescents. Studies show that 15-30% of adolescents engage in NSSI. There is evidence that rates are rising. The document also discusses biological and neurological factors that may contribute to NSSI, such as low endorphin levels and altered pain sensitivity. Treatment approaches covered include assessment of motivations and functions of self-injury, psychoeducation, and motivational enhancement techniques.

This document discusses aging and perspectives on aging from a sociological perspective. It covers several key points:
1) Age stratification and the status of being old varies between cultures, and in the US being old commonly overshadows all other statuses.
2) The study of gerontology examines the social and psychological aspects of aging.
3) Two perspectives on aging are disengagement theory, which posits that relationships are severed as people age, and activity theory, which argues remaining active is best.
4) The US population is aging significantly, with those over 65 projected to make up 13% of the population by 2010, up from 4.1% in 1900, bringing changes to society.
The document discusses how climate change can negatively impact mental health in several ways. Rising global temperatures and more extreme weather events are linked to increased rates of anxiety, depression, PTSD, and suicidal thoughts. Specific groups made vulnerable include farmers affected by drought, children and women after disasters, first responders, and homeless populations. Seasonal affective disorder may also be exacerbated by changes in daylight hours due to climate change. More research is still needed to fully understand the relationship between climate change and mental health.
The document discusses various changes that occur with aging including behavioral, physical, emotional, and cognitive changes. As people age, they experience things like loss of memory and brain function, decreased muscle and organ function, increased anxiety and frustration with physical declines. However, aging also brings greater life satisfaction and less risky behaviors. Maintaining social support, exercise, nutrition, and mental stimulation are important for maximizing quality of life as people grow older. Proper planning is also key to managing health, finances and end-of-life needs.
1. Psychosomatic disorders occur when mental stress or emotional factors negatively impact physical health. According to Unani medicine, disturbances in psychic faculties like the brain can lead to stress-related issues like depression.
2. Unani recognizes lifestyle factors like diet, exercise, sleep, and social support as essential to well-being. Imbalances in these "six essentials" as well as the temperament can contribute to psychosomatic disorders.
3. Treatment focuses on eliminating causes, correcting temperament imbalances, and strengthening the heart-mind connection. Approaches include dietary therapy, exercise, relaxation, and medications aimed at reducing stress symptoms.
Stanley Milgram was a social psychologist born in 1933 in New York City. He received his PhD from Harvard University in 1960. Milgram is best known for his theory of obedience, which he tested in a famous experiment where participants were instructed to administer electric shocks to another person. Contrary to experts' predictions, 65% of participants continued shocking the other person to the highest levels, demonstrating people's willingness to obey authority even when it causes harm. The experiment had significant implications for understanding why people commit unethical acts when following orders.
The document provides tips for men to improve their health and reduce risk factors for common causes of death like heart disease and cancer. It recommends eating a healthy diet, maintaining a healthy weight, engaging in regular physical activity, not smoking, getting routine health screenings, managing stress, knowing personal health risks, being safe, and making health a priority. The leading causes of death for men are attributed to modifiable risks like stress, tobacco use, weight, activity levels, and nutrition.
The document summarizes a women leaders conference focused on empowerment through technology. It discusses how technology has historically liberated women from the 1920s to today. The conference aimed to show leaders how embracing technology can enable innovation, increase productivity, and empower stronger leadership. Speakers urged women to engage with technology and avoid trend fatigue.
This document discusses women and money, outlining perceived challenges women face and changes underway. It describes 5 phases of a financial future: knowing your assets/liabilities, protecting yourself with insurance, taking a long-term view of retirement, planning for potential life changes, and partnering with a financial professional. The document advises getting referrals for trustworthy professionals who will collaborate with other advisors as part of developing a comprehensive written financial plan aligned with one's goals.
The document discusses mentoring relationships and their importance for advancing women's careers. It notes that while women hold over half of management jobs, few reach the highest levels. Mentors, coaches and sponsors can help provide support and guidance. The document encourages participants to share their experiences with mentors, consider becoming mentors themselves, and make a commitment to pass on their wisdom to help other women advance.

Career Motivations of Freshman Engineering and Non-Engineering Students: A Ge...ADVANCE-Purdue
Engineering professions have been far less successful than other professions at attracting female students. This study attempts to shed light on this phenomenon by examining the importance, or valence (a term used in psychology to denote the intrinsic attractiveness of an object, situation, or event), that students associate with career-related outcomes. A social cognitive career theory framework and Vroom’s valence model are used to examine the importance that female freshman engineering students (n=87) place on various career-related outcomes compared with other female freshmen (n=2236) and with male engineering students (n=484). The data used in this study was drawn from the PRiSE (Persistence Research in Science & Engineering) Project, which focuses on identifying high school factors that influence the persistence of females in STEM disciplines. Funded by the NSF, PRiSE is a large-scale study that surveyed a nationally-representative sample of college English students about their interests and experiences in science and engineering. This study finds that in terms of career-related outcome valences, women who choose engineering are not representative of women in general, nor are they representative of engineers in general. On three measures, they do not even fall between both comparison groups. Engineering is attracting an outlying subset of the female population, and those females are somewhat more extreme in their career motivations than the average male engineer. The results imply that the social and cultural messages women may be receiving characterize engineering professions as requiring the de-prioritization of other personal and social goals.
This document discusses transit-oriented development (TOD) and provides recommendations for effective TOD planning. It explains that TOD focuses on intensifying land use around transit stations to improve access to transit via walking and cycling. It emphasizes connecting communities to transit, mixing land uses, and prioritizing pedestrian- and cyclist-friendly streets over car-oriented design. The document also addresses parking standards, noting that excessive parking encourages driving and that cities like Paris and Strasbourg provide discounts or waivers for developments near transit to reduce parking needs. Finally, it recommends a TOD vision that includes high-density development around transit, walkable and bikeable streets, and vibrant public spaces to create active, people-oriented communities.
This document discusses how a PMO can provide assurance to stakeholders through management information and analysis. It describes how the PMO supports contextual project needs, ensures consistency across projects, and informs leadership through relevant metrics and analysis. The PMO transforms management information into business intelligence by using data to understand progress, predict outcomes, and enable proactive actions. Examples show how visualizing financial data provides insights into budget needs. Maintaining consistent data repositories allows reporting at different organizational levels from projects to the board. The goal is to increase integrity of progress updates, enable advanced warning and trend identification, and optimize governance through continuous improvement.
This document discusses leveraging a project vision to succeed. It defines what an effective vision looks like, including being clear, shared, and aligned to business objectives. Examples of company visions from Disney, Twitter, Facebook, Google, and Nike are provided. An effective vision is achievable, aspirational, enduring, and provides meaning and inspiration. Setting up a high performing team with a clear vision, mission, and goals is essential for success. When facing setbacks, the vision can help provide inspiration and guidance to recovery efforts.
The document discusses creating an Equitable Transit-Oriented Development Accelerator Fund (ETODAF) to support equitable transit-oriented development projects in the Boston area. It summarizes that the fund would provide low-interest, flexible capital to fill financing gaps and support acquisition, predevelopment, and holding costs. The fund is intended to streamline access to capital, manage risk, and leverage $30-35 million to support creation of affordable housing, mixed-use development, and neighborhood retail near transit stations. The anticipated outcomes include supporting nonprofit developers, creating affordable housing near transit, preserving affordability in gentrifying areas, and producing mixed-use, transit-oriented development.
