Case study in managing relationship in research study

/in /by

The psychology profession brings practitioners into intimate contact with the individuals with which they work. Because of the resulting vulnerability this engenders, it is imperative that psychology students and professionals practice ethical decision-making strategies for ensuring boundaries when resolving conflicts related to multiple relationships.

 

For this Application, read the following case study:

 

You are in your sixth year teaching undergraduate psychology. You teach abnormal psychology course every term, and through students’ reflective papers, you learn a great deal about their backgrounds. Every year, it seems that a particular student becomes attached to you, frequently attending your open office hours and lingering to talk to you long after the official open office period is over. This year is no different. One young lady, Laura, frequently comes to you after class to ask questions about Applications. One afternoon, she suggests that you go to a restaurant to continue the conversation. Against your better judgment, you agree. Soon, Laura has had several adult beverages. She begins to cry and tells you details about her personal problems. She says she has been depressed, is having trouble with her parents, and is failing other classes. You recall that one of her first papers mentioned a suicide attempt and you start to panic. You did some role-playing in crisis counseling years ago in your master’s program but you never pursued licensure or clinical training. You suspect that Laura is telling you these things because she views you as an expert and feels she needs professional help.

 

The Case Study allows you to applyethics to real-life situations and demonstrate your understanding of the decision making needed to resolve such conflicts. It is rare for an ethical dilemma to involve only one issue, so you should take the time to reflect on the complications that present themselves in the situations described in the Case Study.

 

For this week’s Application, review the overview of the five ethical decision-making models:

 

  • Koocher and Keith-Spiegel’s nine-step ethical decision-making model
  • Canadian Code of Ethics for Psychologists: The 10-step ethical decision-making process
  • Rest’s four-step ethical decision-making model
  • Jones’s four-step intensity-contingent ethical decision-making model
  • Fisher’s eight-step ethical decision-making model

 

 

 

 For this week’s Case Study,5-page paper that includes the following:

 

  1. An explanation of the ethical dilemmas you perceive to be involved in the Case Study.
  2. A description of what you might do in response to the dilemma. Include the following in your explanation:
  3. A step-by-step application of one of the decision-making models provided above.
  4. An explanation of the possible outcomes for each individual in the Case Study.
  5. An explanation of any benefits and limitations of the model you selected.

    (5-page paper DOUBLE SPACED including and reference page) – APA STYLE- must pass turnitin

Big Five theory of personality

/in /by

List and define the five traits included in the Big Five theory of personality. What are the limitations of this approach?

Post your message on the topic by Day 3 or Day 5 of this week. Comment on at least 1 colleagues’ postings, selecting, if applicable, postings that have not yet received feedback. Reply to other discussion developments.

 

 

The Big Five theory of personality traits is described as extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism and openness.

1.      Extraversion: Includes characteristics such as enthusiasm, sociability, dominance, talkativeness and energetic. It also refers to people that is shy, submissive and quite as an extrovert.

2.      Agreeableness is individuals who are friendly, warm, trusting and cooperative. On the other hand, individuals who are low on this component are usually cold, confrontational and unkind.

3.      Conscientiousness: dimension includes people who are dependable, courteous, persistent, and responsible and organize. It also characterizes some people as being impulsive, these individuals tend to be careless, undependable and antisocial.

4.      Neuroticism: Are individuals, who are emotional instability, they tend to be nervous, moody, sad and anxious. While emotionally sound individuals are usually calm and contented.

5.      Openness this trait highlight characteristics such as imagination, insightful, witty, original and artistic. Individuals who are low on openness tend to be shallow and plain (Friedman& Schustack, 2012).

The limitation of the Big Five theory is it cannot accurately predict any particular behavior for the simple fact that, human behavior is formed on many different factors, not only personality. The model is also limited by its extensive Universalism doctrines. For instance, when we think of a person, one must consider all facets such as religious beliefs, and philosophical concepts with universal application. The Big Five does not give us a better understanding of gender, culture, age, or personality expressions. Friedman& Schustack (2012) suggest that, “One has to be careful when using the big five personality trait because it can underestimate some avenue of other parts of our personality and the role in a social situation. It sometimes fails to notice personal situation or even the fact that basic dimensions do a better job in describing some person than others (Friedman& Schustack, 2012, p. 275)

When Henry Bottom of Form

Bottom of Form

 

Henry Murray created the personality theory which focused on our basic needs which he called psychogenic needs.  He believed that the human needs were mostly at an unconscious level. He defined a need as a potentiality to react in a specific way under certain known circumstances. Friedman& Schustack (2012), “Murray’s needs are as followed:

1. Affiliation- which is the need for closeness that is returned by someone else.

2. Autonomy- is the need for independence

3. Dominance- this is the need to influence or control someone else.

4. Exhibition- is classified as the need to be seen and heard

5. Harm-avoidance- this is characterize as the need to be cautious and avoid injury.

6. Nurturance- is the need to help and care for the weak.

7. Order – is considered to organize things

8. Play – it is the need to have fun and enjoy life

9. Sex- the need for intimacy

10. Succorance this the need to nurtured, loved and controlled.

11. Understanding is the need to explore, simplify and speculate” (Friedman & Schustack, 2012, p. 324).

For one of the needs, provide an example of an occupation that would help to satisfy that need and explain why? Dominance is the desire to influence or control others. An example of an occupation would be a manager because of their need to have control over others. A manager tends to have a high need for power which gives them the ability to rate an employee higher if the employee has the ability to complement the topic. Whereas those with low or moderate need for power rate employees the same.

 

For another need, describe how the need can cause trouble for a person in an occupational role. The need for affiliation can be troublesome in the workforce because their need for closeness, it will not always be reciprocated. In an occupational role if an individual does not feel as if they can trust the people that they work with, then work becomes stressful and the job will not be fulfilling. Studies shows, “People who score high in the affiliation need are unpopular, apt to avoid interpersonal conflicts, and likely to be unsuccessful as business managers. These tendencies may be due to their high level of anxiety about whether other people will like them. They may act in an overly assertive manner to avoid any possible rejection” (Anonymous, 2008, p.195).

Personality module 1 disc

Discussion—Freudian Theory

Sigmund Freud, although one of the best-known personality theorists, is probably also one of the most controversial in the field of psychology. When starting to consider theories of personality, one must begin with a look at Sigmund Freud, as he was one of the first theorists to develop a psychoanalytical theory that was based on real-life patients and not studies conducted in a lab. Even if you do not agree with his theories, he is the starting point from which many other theorists have begun. Specifically, he was concerned with the development of the personality and how it created the neuroses he saw in many of his patients.

Research Freud’s theories using your textbook, the Internet, and the Argosy University online library resources. Based on your research, respond to the following:

· What do you consider to be Freud’s most significant contribution to the discipline of psychology? Why? Explain in detail..

· Of his different theories, which one do you feel is the most controversial? Why? Explain ?

· What life factors and sociocultural factors do you think led Freud to come to the conclusions that he did?

· Why do many people disagree with the development of Freud’s theories? Explain here

· In general psychology and even popular culture today, there are a number of concepts that are based in Freudian theory that many do not realize stem from him. Identify a few ideas and terms that can be traced back to Freud.

· Write your initial response in 5 paragraphs minimum.

 

Teacher stated..

1. Freud’s discussion of defense mechanisms makes good sense, As the lecture notes suggest, they a) unconsciously deny or distort fact, and b) occur without any deliberate decision being made to use them. The lecture notes discuss five but there really are more. The point I would highlight is that they are not necessarily unhealthy but act as a protective mechanism.

2. I have trouble accepting his psychosexual stages and as the lecture notes mention “research .. has shown sexual drive to be just one of many important parts of the human condition” (Lecture Notes, Psychosexual Stages, pages 1 of 2).

3. Freud’s theory regarding the mind’s structure led to a new understanding of human psychological development and the treatment of mental health issues.

4. Part of his thinking was based on the times and his views regarding women were controversial even then What do you think? Please answer these completely as well

 

 

Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

A minimum of four references

Psychology Final Exam Paper Instructions

/in /by

Final Exam Paper Instructions (Due Week 7)

***Please note that you will still be required to submit a written assignment in Week Eight. The “final” essay is not the last essay required in this class***

Final Exam Paper: In at least 1000 words typed in proper APA format (including a 12-point font, double spacing, a title page, a reference page, in-text citations, a running header, page numbers, and an abstract page), you will write a review on any psychological disorder (can be an anxiety disorder, a mood disorder, a personality disorder, a somatoform disorder, a dissociative disorder, or even schizophrenia) of your choice. One friendly piece of advice here is to choose a specific disorder versus a category of disorders.

For example, instead of trying to do your essay on all personality disorders, you might choose just one personality disorder, such as avoidant personality disorder. That should make the paper more manageable for you.

First, you should discuss what the disorder is (general description, types if different types exist, symptoms), and how one gets the disorder(possible causes, risk factors).
Second, you should choose four of the perspectives listed in the textbook–psychodynamic, humanistic, behavioral, cognitive, group, biological–and discuss how a psychologist/doctor from each perspective would treat a patient with your disorder.

Part of this assignment will require you to enter the Grantham library. You should consider contacting the librarian (well before the due date) for help if you do not understand what peer-reviewed sources are or if you do not understand how to use the library functionally at Grantham.

You must include two peer-reviewed sources from an electronic journal within your essay, using at least some information from both sources within your writing. These sources should come from the Grantham library. You may use other resources, but at least two of your sources must come from the library and be peer-reviewed sources.

Please be sure to paraphrase (put into your own words) the information that you use from our textbook and/or other outside sources unless directly quoting with quotation marks. Direct quotations (word-for-word excerpts with quotation marks) should only comprise at most 10 – 15% of your writing. If the information is not put into your own words or quotation marks are not used, then the writing is considered plagiarized, which is a serious infraction with any university. I will not accept assignments that have not followed the directions listed in this paragraph!!!

Please Note: Your sources must be cited within the paper (a valid reference list as well as in-text citations). I must know where your information originated. Also, I will deduct ten points for every 100 words missing from the final essay (remember, it needs to be 1,000 words total, including title page, abstract page, and reference list).

Assignment 2: Inclusion versus Segregation

/in /by

One of the top issues in special education is the ongoing debate of “inclusion versus segregation.” The idea of inclusion in education is that all students, no matter what disability they may have, should learn together in the same environment. Fully inclusive schools do not differentiate between special education courses and general education courses, but rather include students with learning, emotional, behavioral, or physical disabilities in classes with all of the other students.

The idea of segregation in education suggests that there are benefits to providing classes separate from general education classes that meet the needs of students with special needs. For some students, this may be for just one or two subjects, while for other students, this encompasses all of their courses.

In this assignment, you will consider those students who suffer from behavioral disorders or social skill deficits.

Using the module readings, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, research observational learning. Then, address the following:

  • Based on your learning about observational learning in this module, what are the benefits that these students could gain through their inclusion into a regular classroom?
  • How could the principles of observational learning help to improve the classroom behavior of students with behavioral disorders or social skill deficits?
  • What are some of the classroom disadvantages for employing inclusion for other typically developing students?
  • Do you support the move toward inclusion? Why or why not?

Write a 4–5-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Be sure to include a title page and a reference page. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M4_A2.doc.
