Track and Topic Sociocultural Influences: social and cultural contributions to the development of psychological disorders
Article #1
1. What is the title of the article? Provide a reference for the article in APA format.
Mueller, D. R., Schmidt, S. J., & Roder, V. (2013). Integrated psychological therapy: effectiveness in schizophrenia inpatient settings related to patients' age. The American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, 21(3), 231-241.
2. What is the purpose of the article?
The article investigated whether the Integrated Philological therapy is more effective in younger patients of ages 40 and above. The authors then compared the effectiveness of IPT of young patients with that of average years of 40 and above. The study also investigated whether treatment as usual or unspecified group activities produce different outcomes.
3. What is the hypothesis of the study? In other words, what claims do the authors make in the article? What are the outcomes of the study, that is, the conclusions that the authors made as a result of the study?
There are no differences in the effectiveness of Integrated Psychological therapy between a group of younger patients (age 40 and below) and that of the average years (ages 40 and above). The study also hypothesized that there no differences in the treatment outcome of the group of younger patients (age 40). The study also assessed there were differences in the treatment outcome of the group of older patients (age 40 and above) treated using specified and unspecified treatment.
4. What variables (factors) are being looking at as an influence on abnormal behavior?
The study investigated the influences of age (variable) and the use of Integrated Psychological Treatment on the treatment of schizophrenia. Another variable was the treatment options (Unspecified and Specified treatment). Other variables include the global cognitive scores, social cognition, psychopathology and social functioning.
5. If these variables or the relationship between these variables have been studied before, what have other studies found? This shows historical significance.
Past studies have shown the effect of age on Schizophrenia. Older people suffering from Schizophrenia often suffer from cognitive impairment compared to younger patients. There are fewer therapy approaches to middle and averagely mentally ill patients.
6. Describe the research design (e.g., descriptive, correlateional, experimental) that was used in the study.
Standard meta-analytical procedures. The study compared category of two age groups. Had a total of 15 IPT controlled studies with 632 schizophrenic patients.
7. Do you think the research in this article was conducted in an ethical manner? Why or why not?
Yes. The study obtained ethical approval from the relevant authorities. The study also recruited participants after getting an informed consent from each study participants.

Week 3 Assignment: Case Study Selection
The discussion will be based on case study #1 that centers on clinical psychology (major depressive disorder). From the case study, Joe is a victim of severe depression, a mental disorder that has been in his family but also attributed to the harsh situations he has been in such as losing his job, divorce and losing custody of his children. Depression is a serious mental disorder that is silently consuming a significant percentage of the world. “It encompasses the mood, thoughts, and body thus interfering with the day-to-day life of the victim” (Thiele, Laireiter, & Baumann, 2012). Depression can be looked at critically from a clinical psychology perspective regarding the causes, symptoms, prevention, and treatment.
Clinical psychologists attribute depressive disorder to a number of factors. Cochran and Rabinowitz (2010) explain that there is no single cause of the mental condition, but it is as a result of a combination of biochemical, genetic, psychological, and environmental factors. This is a claim that is datable in the clinical psychology field where other psychologists explain some instances of depression can be as a result of a specific factor from the list of factors provided. This aspect of depression can be applied to Joe’s case – the fact that his biological parents and two of his uncles were victims of depression proves Joe’s condition is as a result of genetic attribution of the disorder – however, “the fact that his depression only manifested after him losing his job and being divorced is evident that depression is caused by a combination of factors as explained by Cochran and Rabinowitz” (2010).
The advancement of technology in the clinical psychology field indicate that depression is a disorder of the brain. Technologies such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) used to image the brain reveal that parts of the brain responsible for mood, sleep, thinking, behavior, and appetite function abnormally. Depression is twice as common in women than in men implying that women suffer depression and are more likely to be depressed than men. Studies indicate that the lifecycle, biological, and hormonal changes among other factors in women is associated with their higher rates of depression.
Depression can be cured in many ways including medication, herbal therapy, and psychotherapy. All the methods are effective, but the most recommended treatment method is psychotherapy that involves sessions between a depressed person and a psychotherapist for a defined period. The condition can also be managed from th ...

Academic Level:Master
Category: Nursing
Language Style: English (U.S.)
Order Instructions: ATTACHED
Please follow the instructions of the discussion. Included the text book Polick & Beck (2017) in the references.I attached the order 3335318 that is needed to complete this work.
When conducting original research, the final step researchers must complete is weighing the evidence and interpreting the meanings of their data, statistics, and analyses. This is the culmination of the research process in which all of the research methods and designs can be synthesized into a meaningful conclusion. In this stage, researchers should formulate explanations for what their data indicates, determine whether the data answer their initial research question, identify areas of uncertainty, and consider directions for further research.
In this Discussion, you focus on one of the research articles that you identified for Part 2 of the Course Project (Literature Review). You then explore the process of how the researchers generated conclusions based on their data, consider other possible interpretations of their data, and formulate ideas for further research.
To prepare:
-Review this week’s Learning Resources, focusing on how researchers find meaning in their data and generate sound conclusions. Pay particular attention to Table 2 in the article, “Study Design in Medical Research.”
-Revisit the 5 articles that you identified in Part 2 of the Course Project(order 3335318). Select one to consider for the purpose of this Discussion.
-Read sections of the chosen article where the data is presented, analyzed, and interpreted for meaning. What reasoning process did the researchers use to formulate their conclusions? What explanation did they give to support their conclusions? Were there any weaknesses in their analysis or conclusions?
Consider possible alternate conclusions that the researchers could have drawn based on their data.
-Examine the findings that the article presents and consider how well they addressed the researcher’s initial question(s). -What additional research could be done to build on these findings and gain a fuller understanding of the question?

Discussion Board 2: Learning Styles/Personality
After reading Chapter 7: Strategic Learning and Studying & chapter 8: Test-Taking Skills and Strategies, and looking at the Learning Style Youtube clip in this module, I would like for you to answer the following questions in the Discussion Board:
1) What is your preferred learning style?
2) What is your preferred learning environment (sound, temperature, lighting, lecture vs. hands-on vs. discussion, working with others or not, etc.)?
3) What are some strategies (according to your learning style) you use to study?
Preferred Leaning Styles
Please respond to the following questions, use 12 front times new roman, proper citation 300 to 500 words
Collapse
1. Learning Styles - Discussion Board
1) What is your preferred learning style? I am definitely a kinesthetic learner. I can hear something or study something but will not feel comfortable with it until I have hands on experience with it.
2) What is your preferred learning environment (sound, temperature, lighting, lecture vs. hands-on vs. discussion, working with others or not, etc.)? My preferred learning environment is in a classroom setting with others. Working with other classmates on projects really seems to help me. Good lighting is always helpful.
3) What are some strategies (according to your learning style) you use to study? I like to take notes during instruction. Since that is not possible through online classes participating in the discussions with other classmates is also a good way to study and learn. Their perspective on a topic can be a different way at looking at something that I may not have learned on my own.
2. Learning Styles - Discussion Board
My proffered learning style is visual and kinesthetic. I like studying in a bright cold room because it is harder to get tired because we all know studying is tiring. I usually just were headphones and study alone as well. Strategies I use to study include reading the content over and over again, writing down notes on the material multiple times, and using flash cards to help me.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
