The document summarizes two objective personality tests: the MMPI/MMPI-2 and the NEO-PI-R. It describes the development and components of each test, including their scales, norms, reliability, validity, applications, and limitations. The MMPI/MMPI-2 was developed using empirical criterion keying and assesses various symptoms of psychopathology. The NEO-PI-R measures the five factor model of personality and was developed using rational-empirical construction to emphasize construct validity. Both tests have demonstrated reliability and validity but also have limitations such as lack of validity scales for the NEO-PI-R.
The document summarizes a research study on anger management problems among teens. It explores the causes of teen anger, how teens express anger, and potential solutions. The study involved surveying 50 high school students about their experiences with anger. It found that peer pressure, family problems, social relationships, and academic problems can cause teen anger. Many teens reported opening up to others or being alone as ways to deal with anger. The study recommends teaching teens healthy coping skills like talking through problems or praying to manage anger. It also suggests parents and teachers be supportive and allow teens to openly discuss their feelings.
This document discusses critical thinking skills needed for psychological research. It explains that critical thinking involves evaluating evidence from research studies by examining the methodology, relating it to major debates, considering applications to society, and connecting it to other studies and levels of analysis in psychology. Specifically, critical analysis of a study involves assessing the strengths and limitations of its methods, ethics, reliability, and validity.
The "Wounded Healer" or the "Worried Well"? What We Know About Graduate Stu...James Tobin, Ph.D.
Doctoral programs consistently struggle with professional competence among their trainees, and numerous studies report significant numbers of expulsions from graduate study based on academic or nonacademic grounds. Widely attributed to Jung (1951), the wounded healer archetype assumes that clinicians, like all persons, have been negatively impacted by their personal histories, traumas, and interpersonal stressors. According to co-authors James Tobin and Anya Oleynik, a key role and responsibility of graduate programs in the helping professions and advanced training sites involves not only a gatekeeping function, but the capacity to identify and remediate students whose own personal challenges may be effectively resolved and transformed into the strengths ascribed to the wounded healer ideal.
The course of illness can be influenced by biological, psycholog.docxrtodd643
The course of illness can be influenced by biological, psychological, and/or social factors covering a broad range of topics that include stress, coping, and behaviors that either promote health and prevent illness, or contribute to the development of clinical problems. Health and wellness are important to our daily lives and this is true even in the context of being diagnosed with a chronic illness such as diabetes mellitus. The interplay between emotions, cognitive, and behavioral/physical factors can affect all aspects of health and illness. Individual differences such as culture, ethnicity, lifestyle, religion, gender, identity development, financial status, and social support should be considered when analyzing the individual’s response to a chronic illness. Numerous research studies have investigated the impact of one or more of these factors in terms of the effect on chronic disease outcomes. These outcomes can include symptom management and/or progression of the severity of the disease.
Explanatory theories often describe factors that contribute to health problems, or interfere with prevention activities, and thus provide targets for change. One such theory is the Health Belief Model (HBM) which addresses perceptions of the health problem. These perceptions include the degree of threat in terms of susceptibility and severity, any benefits to be obtained by avoiding the perceived threat, and various internal (e.g., self-efficacy) and external (e.g., barriers to care) factors that influence the individual’s decision to act. Other theories emphasize motivations that influence a continuum of stages of behavioral change. The Transtheoretical Model (TTM) of behavior change is a theory of this type. The response to chronic illness and the illness experience itself can be described by these models. In managing chronic disease, there are coping strategies and behavior changes that support optimal outcomes and therapeutic interventions can be designed for greater effectiveness by using these two models.
For your paper you will choose from the two options below. The option you choose will provide the focus and title for your paper.
Option A:
Diabetes Mellitus and the
Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change
Option B:
Diabetes Mellitus and the
Health Belief Model
To support your work, you will perform research using the Ashford University Library and/or other search methods to provide references to support your work. You must include a minimum of three peer-reviewed sources, published within the past five years relating to diabetes mellitus and to either the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change (Option A) or the Health Belief Model (Option B). The use of additional scholarly and/or peer-reviewed references is highly recommended. These may be obtained from academic, professional, or governmental agency sources. Dictionaries, encyclopedias, non-academic websites, and media outlet sites or publications are not appropriate resour.

Introduction
Southern Texas encompasses different groups of people whose behavior, gender identity, and gender expression varies depending on cultural identity and norms. About a quarter of individuals in United States have a history or are experiencing a mental disorder with approximately 6% of the population having critical mental illness. These mental problems typically affect the general well-being of an individual. For instance, patients living with severe mental disorders are more likely to die in average of twenty-six years earlier than the average life expectanc ...

The title here must match the title on your title page. Your introduction follows the title of your paper (note that the title is not bolded). Note also that there is no heading that says Introduction. The paragraph or two that follows the title on the first page of your text is assumed to be your introduction. You should start your introduction with a powerful statement or two to stimulate interest. You should identify that the purpose of your paper is to explain the pathophysiological processes of a selected health condition, predict clinical manifestations and complications of the health condition, and correlate lifestyle, environmental, and other influences that will occur in your patient due to a change in their level of wellness. (See the “Purpose” and “Course Outcomes: in your guidelines.) Remember that formal papers are in third person, so no you, I, me, or we until you make a recommendation about your article. In this introduction, you should introduce the disease process that you are writing about in a paragraph of at least 200 words. You should include a description of the disease and the epidemiology of the disease. Epidemiology includes the overall incidence (who gets it) and distribution (where is it seen most often) of your chosen disease topic. An APA formatted citation for where you have found your information should be included. (e.g., “The literature review by Hubert and VanMeter (2018) . . . .” or “Hubert and VanMeter (2018) described posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in nurses, specifically psychiatric nurses, as occurring most frequently.)

How To Critique A Journal Article
Sponsored by The Center for Teaching and Learning at UIS
Last Edited 4/9/2009 Page 1 of 2
So your assignment is to critique a journal article. This handout will give you a few guidelines to
follow as you go. But wait, what kind of a journal article is it: an empirical/research article, or a
review of literature? Some of the guidelines offered here will apply to critiques of all kinds of
articles, but each type of article may provoke questions that are especially pertinent to that type
and no other. Read on.
First of all, for any type of journal article your critique should include some basic information:
1. Name(s) of the author(s)
2. Title of article
3. Title of journal, volume number, date, month and page numbers
4. Statement of the problem or issue discussed
5. The author’s purpose, approach or methods, hypothesis, and major conclusions.
The bulk of your critique, however, should consist of your qualified opinion of the article.
Read the article you are to critique once to get an overview. Then read it again, critically. At this
point you may want to make some notes to yourself on your copy (not the library’s copy,
please).
The following are some questions you may want to address in your critique no matter what type
of article you are critiquing. (Use your discretion. These points don’t have to be discussed in this
order, and some may not be pertinent to your particular article.)
1. Is the title of the article appropriate and clear?
2. Is the abstract specific, representative of the article, and in the correct form?
3. Is the purpose of the article made clear in the introduction?
4. Do you find errors of fact and interpretation? (This is a good one! You won’t believe how
often authors misinterpret or misrepresent the work of others. You can check on this by looking
up for yourself the references the author cites.)
5. Is all of the discussion relevant?
6. Has the author cited the pertinent, and only the pertinent, literature? If the author has included
inconsequential references, or references that are not pertinent, suggest deleting them.
7. Have any ideas been overemphasized or underemphasized? Suggest specific revisions.
8. Should some sections of the manuscript be expanded, condensed or omitted?
9. Are the author’s statements clear? Challenge ambiguous statements. Suggest by examples how
clarity can be achieved, but do not merely substitute your style for the author’s.
10. What underlying assumptions does the author have?
11. Has the author been objective in his or her discussion of the topic?
In addition, here are some questions that are more specific to empirical/research articles. (Again,
use your discretion.)
1. Is the objective of the experiment or of the observations important for the field?
2. Are the experimental methods described adequately?
3. Are the study design and methods appropriate for the purposes of the study?
4. Have the procedures ...

CASE STUDYFemale, 15, separation anxiety disorder, Depression.docxbartholomeocoombs
CASE STUDY:
Female, 15, separation anxiety disorder, Depression
The patient is a fifteen-year-old female teenager who presents to the clinic with her mother for her first assessment. Patient is being referral to the clinic by the school counselor due to low grades and poor school assistance. During the session, both the patient and the mother are neatly dressed. Her mother seems to be worried about her daughter. The patient said, "I worry a lot about my family members. I fear that one day my parents will be abducted or fatally injured. The worries and fears make me have difficulties concentrating on personal well-being and my studies in school." The mental assessment shows that the patient is depressed, and she refuses to leave the proximity of her mother. Her mother says that her daughter has been experiencing depression or anxiety attacks. The physical assessment shows that the patient has been experiencing physical aches and pains. She maintains good eye contact. Her mood is a little anxious. The symptoms conclude that the patient has separation anxiety disorder because the symptoms have progressed for the past six months. Treatments include antidepressants, group therapy, family therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. A follow-up is to be done in two weeks.
Assignment 2: Focused SOAP Note and Patient Case Presentation
Psychiatric notes are a way to reflect on your practicum experiences and connect them to the didactic learning you gain from your NRNP courses. Focused SOAP notes, such as the ones required in this practicum course, are often used in clinical settings to document patient care.
For this Assignment, you will document information about a patient that you examined during the last three weeks, using the Focused SOAP Note Template provided. You will then use this note to develop and record a case presentation for this patient.
To Prepare
· Present the full complex case study. Include chief complaint; history of present illness; any pertinent past psychiatric, substance use, medical, social, family history; most recent mental status exam; current psychiatric diagnosis including differentials that were ruled out; and plan for treatment and management.
· Report normal diagnostic results as the name of the test and “normal” (rather than specific value). Abnormal results should be reported as a specific value.
· Specifically address the following for the patient, using your SOAP note as a guide:
·
Subjective: What details did the patient provide regarding their chief complaint and symptomology to derive your differential diagnosis? What is the duration and severity of their symptoms? How are their symptoms impacting their functioning in life?
·
Objective: What observations did you make during the psychiatric assessment?
·
Assessment: Discuss their mental status examination results. What were your differential diagnoses? Provide a minimum o.
The PHII studied outcomes for older patients with TBI and/or PTSD. Exercise showed the strongest improvement in mood, memory and muscle control. Medication and therapy also improved outcomes. A small meditation group saw dramatic improvements. Not all interventions worked - memory exercises and strength training showed limited benefits. The PHII provides lessons that can help develop a personalized care plan for a patient with a history of moderate TBI.

The course of illness can be influenced by biological, psycholog.docxrtodd643
The course of illness can be influenced by biological, psychological, and/or social factors covering a broad range of topics that include stress, coping, and behaviors that either promote health and prevent illness, or contribute to the development of clinical problems. Health and wellness are important to our daily lives and this is true even in the context of being diagnosed with a chronic illness such as diabetes mellitus. The interplay between emotions, cognitive, and behavioral/physical factors can affect all aspects of health and illness. Individual differences such as culture, ethnicity, lifestyle, religion, gender, identity development, financial status, and social support should be considered when analyzing the individual’s response to a chronic illness. Numerous research studies have investigated the impact of one or more of these factors in terms of the effect on chronic disease outcomes. These outcomes can include symptom management and/or progression of the severity of the disease.
Explanatory theories often describe factors that contribute to health problems, or interfere with prevention activities, and thus provide targets for change. One such theory is the Health Belief Model (HBM) which addresses perceptions of the health problem. These perceptions include the degree of threat in terms of susceptibility and severity, any benefits to be obtained by avoiding the perceived threat, and various internal (e.g., self-efficacy) and external (e.g., barriers to care) factors that influence the individual’s decision to act. Other theories emphasize motivations that influence a continuum of stages of behavioral change. The Transtheoretical Model (TTM) of behavior change is a theory of this type. The response to chronic illness and the illness experience itself can be described by these models. In managing chronic disease, there are coping strategies and behavior changes that support optimal outcomes and therapeutic interventions can be designed for greater effectiveness by using these two models.

follow as you go. But wait, what kind of a journal article is it: an empirical/research article, or a
review of literature? Some of the guidelines offered here will apply to critiques of all kinds of
articles, but each type of article may provoke questions that are especially pertinent to that type
and no other. Read on.
First of all, for any type of journal article your critique should include some basic information:
1. Name(s) of the author(s)
2. Title of article
3. Title of journal, volume number, date, month and page numbers
4. Statement of the problem or issue discussed
5. The author’s purpose, approach or methods, hypothesis, and major conclusions.
The bulk of your critique, however, should consist of your qualified opinion of the article.
Read the article you are to critique once to get an overview. Then read it again, critically. At this
point you may want to make some notes to yourself on your copy (not the library’s copy,
please).
The following are some questions you may want to address in your critique no matter what type
of article you are critiquing. (Use your discretion. These points don’t have to be discussed in this
order, and some may not be pertinent to your particular article.)
1. Is the title of the article appropriate and clear?
2. Is the abstract specific, representative of the article, and in the correct form?
3. Is the purpose of the article made clear in the introduction?
4. Do you find errors of fact and interpretation? (This is a good one! You won’t believe how
often authors misinterpret or misrepresent the work of others. You can check on this by looking
up for yourself the references the author cites.)
5. Is all of the discussion relevant?
6. Has the author cited the pertinent, and only the pertinent, literature? If the author has included
inconsequential references, or references that are not pertinent, suggest deleting them.
7. Have any ideas been overemphasized or underemphasized? Suggest specific revisions.
8. Should some sections of the manuscript be expanded, condensed or omitted?
9. Are the author’s statements clear? Challenge ambiguous statements. Suggest by examples how
clarity can be achieved, but do not merely substitute your style for the author’s.
10. What underlying assumptions does the author have?
11. Has the author been objective in his or her discussion of the topic?
In addition, here are some questions that are more specific to empirical/research articles. (Again,
use your discretion.)
1. Is the objective of the experiment or of the observations important for the field?
2. Are the experimental methods described adequately?
3. Are the study design and methods appropriate for the purposes of the study?
4. Have the procedures ...

CASE STUDYFemale, 15, separation anxiety disorder, Depression.docxbartholomeocoombs
CASE STUDY:
Female, 15, separation anxiety disorder, Depression
The patient is a fifteen-year-old female teenager who presents to the clinic with her mother for her first assessment. Patient is being referral to the clinic by the school counselor due to low grades and poor school assistance. During the session, both the patient and the mother are neatly dressed. Her mother seems to be worried about her daughter. The patient said, "I worry a lot about my family members. I fear that one day my parents will be abducted or fatally injured. The worries and fears make me have difficulties concentrating on personal well-being and my studies in school." The mental assessment shows that the patient is depressed, and she refuses to leave the proximity of her mother. Her mother says that her daughter has been experiencing depression or anxiety attacks. The physical assessment shows that the patient has been experiencing physical aches and pains. She maintains good eye contact. Her mood is a little anxious. The symptoms conclude that the patient has separation anxiety disorder because the symptoms have progressed for the past six months. Treatments include antidepressants, group therapy, family therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. A follow-up is to be done in two weeks.
Assignment 2: Focused SOAP Note and Patient Case Presentation
Psychiatric notes are a way to reflect on your practicum experiences and connect them to the didactic learning you gain from your NRNP courses. Focused SOAP notes, such as the ones required in this practicum course, are often used in clinical settings to document patient care.
For this Assignment, you will document information about a patient that you examined during the last three weeks, using the Focused SOAP Note Template provided. You will then use this note to develop and record a case presentation for this patient.
To Prepare
· Present the full complex case study. Include chief complaint; history of present illness; any pertinent past psychiatric, substance use, medical, social, family history; most recent mental status exam; current psychiatric diagnosis including differentials that were ruled out; and plan for treatment and management.
· Report normal diagnostic results as the name of the test and “normal” (rather than specific value). Abnormal results should be reported as a specific value.
· Specifically address the following for the patient, using your SOAP note as a guide:
·
Subjective: What details did the patient provide regarding their chief complaint and symptomology to derive your differential diagnosis? What is the duration and severity of their symptoms? How are their symptoms impacting their functioning in life?
·
Objective: What observations did you make during the psychiatric assessment?
·
Assessment: Discuss their mental status examination results. What were your differential diagnoses? Provide a minimum o.
The PHII studied outcomes for older patients with TBI and/or PTSD. Exercise showed the strongest improvement in mood, memory and muscle control. Medication and therapy also improved outcomes. A small meditation group saw dramatic improvements. Not all interventions worked - memory exercises and strength training showed limited benefits. The PHII provides lessons that can help develop a personalized care plan for a patient with a history of moderate TBI.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

3. An additional resource includes the University of Rhode Island
Cancer Prevention Research Center’s Transtheoretical Model:
Detailed Overview.
Different biopsychosocial theoretical models have been developed to
assess individual perspectives on health promotion as well as to
develop effective interventions to support health promotion.
This assignment focuses on shared decision making (SDM) and the
use of decision aids (DA) in health promotion as well as the analysis
of a specific health promotion practice using two theoretical
biopsychosocial models.
Utilization of healthcare services in the form of immunizations will be
evaluated using the Healthcare Belief Model (HBM) and the
Transtheoretical Model (TTM) of Behavioral Change.
How does the consumer perceive and act upon vaccination
(immunization) recommendations as a health promotion activity?
For this assignment you must:
Create your paper by evaluating vaccinations as health promotion
practices.
Create an initial paragraph that presents a thesis related to
vaccinations as health promotion practices and explains how these
practices impact health related behaviors.

Case Study: Johnny is a 12-year-old student at Hometown Middle
School. Six weeks ago, he witnessed a fight lunch time between two
students at the adjacent table in the cafeteria.
During the fight, a knife was pulled and its use resulted in serious
injury to one of the students. Emergency medical services (EMS)
were called, and the student was removed via ambulance. Since that
9. day, Johnny has had frequent nightmares in which he revisits the fight
scene. He has refused to eat lunch in the cafeteria and instead hides in
the bathroom during the lunch hour.
Once this was discovered, he was brought to the guidance counselor,
and his mother was called to school. Johnny insists that the cafeteria
isn’t safe, and in discussion with the guidance counselor his mother
mentions that Johnny insists on keeping a kitchen knife at his bedside
table.
Further evaluation of Johnny’s school performance demonstrates that
his grades have fallen from their usual level.
The biopsychosocial model of health psychology incorporates
biological, social and psychological factors. Based on these, evaluate
the health-related behaviors exhibited by Johnny in the scenario.
What health promotion (prevention) practices could be addressed?
What factors might influence Johnny and his mother’s utilization of
health care resources based on his developmental stage? Assess the
scenario and comment on how psychological methods might be
employed to assist Johnny in managing and coping with the situation.
Your assignment should include the sections listed below. Each
section will focus on stress-related behaviors, referral for services,
risk factors, and management and prevention of a stress-related
disorder.

PSY 361 Week 5 Final Paper Transtheoretical and Health Belief
Models in Chronic Illness
Focus of the Final Paper
The course of illness can be influenced by biological, psychological,
and/or social factors covering a broad range of topics that include
stress, coping, and behaviors that either promote health and prevent
illness, or contribute to the development of clinical problems. Health
and wellness are important to our daily lives and this is true even in
the context of being diagnosed with a chronic illness such as diabetes
mellitus. The interplay between emotions, cognitive, and
behavioral/physical factors can affect all aspects of health and illness.
Individual differences such as culture, ethnicity, lifestyle, religion,
gender, identity development, financial status, and social support
should be considered when analyzing the individual’s response to a
chronic illness. Numerous research studies have investigated the
impact of one or more of these factors in terms of the effect on
chronic disease outcomes.
These outcomes can include symptom management and/or
progression of the severity of the disease.
25. Explanatory theories often describe factors that contribute to health
problems, or interfere with prevention activities, and thus provide
targets for change. One such theory is the Health Belief Model
(HBM) which addresses perceptions of the health problem.
These perceptions include the degree of threat in terms of
susceptibility and severity, any benefits to be obtained by avoiding the
perceived threat, and various internal (e.g., self-efficacy) and external
(e.g., barriers to care) factors that influence the individual’s decision
to act. Other theories emphasize motivations that influence a
continuum of stages of behavioral change.
The Transtheoretical Model (TTM) of behavior change is a theory of
this type. The response to chronic illness and the illness experience
itself can be described by these models. In managing chronic disease,
there are coping strategies and behavior changes that support optimal
outcomes and therapeutic interventions can be designed for greater
effectiveness by using these two models.
The assignment:
For your paper you will choose from the two options below. The
option you choose will provide the focus and title for your paper.
Option A: Diabetes Mellitus and the Transtheoretical Model of
Behavior Change
Option B: Diabetes Mellitus and the Health Belief Model.
