Culture shock

/in /by

This week’s study notes and your textbook emphasized the importance of understanding multiculturalism in effective interviewing.  We often take for granted our own assumptions, values, and ways of perceiving the world until we encounter people from another culture. Recall a time when you experienced “culture shock” by traveling to another part of the world or by interacting with someone from another culture and were surprised by some of your own assumptions. If you have not interacted with people from different cultures, think about a book or film in which you became aware of your own assumptions and discovered that they were not universal. If you are having trouble, consider renting the movies Slumdog Millionaire, The House of Sand and Fog, Mi Familia, or Double Happiness.

For this discussion assignment:

  1. Identify and explain an example of “culture shock” either from your own experience or from a movie or book.
  2. Explain how your personal assumptions were challenged.
  3. Discuss what you learned about your own beliefs and if your beliefs were changed in any way.
  4. As appropriate, cite the online course, the textbook, and other credible, scholarly sources to substantiate the points you are making.
  5. Apply APA standards for writing and citations to your work.

  • Context

    There are multiple approaches to the study and understanding of personality psychology. You will explore both the genetic and evolutionary theories of personality. There is a long and continuing debate over the roles of nature and nurture in the development of personality. Psychologists have long understood the importance of connecting biology and psychology. Many believe personality traits and dispositions, along with subsequent behaviors, have a biological component or are evolutionary in nature. One frequently asked question is whether personality is inheritable. Another critical question asks what role brain function has on personality traits and, subsequently, on behavior.

Week 5 Assignment

 

 

Application: ANOVA Study: The Alpha Shoe Company

When you read published research studies, you find experimental studies in which one or more variables are manipulated. One example is a study on whether students with windows in their classrooms give their instructors higher evaluations than students with no windows in their classrooms. You could do a basic comparison of these two groups with a t test, which you studied in Week 4. Perhaps it would be more interesting to have additional levels of environment. You might compare instructor evaluations when students are in a class with no windows, a class with windows that look out to a parking lot, a class with windows that look out to a park, or a class with no windows but pictures of windows on the wall. Since you have multiple levels of the factor, environment, an ANOVA would help you understand the differences between each.

This Assignment will give you practice conducting a study with multiple levels of a factor by working once again with the Alpha Shoe Company. Since many research studies rely on the ANOVA for analysis, you will enhance your ability to understand the results of research studies that you evaluate in the future.

Scenario:

Imagine that Alpha Shoe Company wants to do a second study on the vertical lift basketball players can gain from their shoes. Recall that they believe that how high a player can jump is affected by the type of shoe that player wears. They identified 25 professional basketball players and randomly assigned each of them to wear one of the five types of shoe, then measured how high each player jumped. Each player’s jumping height is given below in inches:

Pluto Omega II Beta Super Delta Gamma
29.1 29.2 28.5 28.4 27.7
29.8 29.1 28.9 28.0 27.9
30.0 28.8 29.2 28.8 28.0
29.0 28.7 28.3 29.0 28.2
31.1 28.8 30.0 28.9 28.0

Assignment:

To complete this Assignment, submit by Day 7 answers to the following. Use SPSS to compare the means of the scores of these five shoes with a one-way ANOVA. Save and submit both your SPSS data file and your output.

· Before comparing the scores with an ANOVA, state your null and alternative hypotheses in words (not formulas).

· Identify the independent and dependent variables.

· Name the levels in your identified factor.

· State the within-group degrees of freedom and explain how you calculate it.

· State the between-group degrees of freedom and explain how you calculate it.

· Identify the obtained F value.

· Identify the p value.

· Explain whether the F test is significant. Explain how you know and what it tells you.

· Explain what you can conclude about the effect of shoe choice on vertical lift (jumping height).

· Should you conduct a post hoc test? Why or why not? If yes, conduct a Tukey HSD post hoc analysis. Explain what the results tell you about type of shoe choice and vertical lift.

· Submit three documents for grading: your text (Word) document with your answers and explanations to the application questions, your SPSS Data file, and your SPSS Output file.

· Provide an APA reference list.

attachment styles

/in /by

There are three primary romantic attachment styles. One quick way to discover your romantic attachment style is to choose which of the following descriptions best describes. Take a minute to do this:

Secure attachment style: You find it relatively easy to get close to others and am comfortable depending on them and having them depend on me. I do not often worry about being abandoned or about someone getting close to me.

Avoidant attachment style: You  somewhat arefortable being close to others. you find itficult to trust them completely and difficult to allow myself to depend on them. I am nervous when anyone gets too close, and often, love partners want me to be more intimate than I feel comfortable being.

Anxious/ambivalent attachment style: u find that others are reluctant to get as close as I would like. I often worry that my partner does not really love me or will not want to stay with me. I want to merge completely with another person, and this desire sometimes scares people away. (Kenrick, Neuberg, & Cialdini, 2007 p.270)

In a 3page paper discuss the following:

    • Based on the above descriptions what romantic attachment style best describes you?

 

    • How has this attachment style affected your past and/or current relationships?

 

    • How has this attachment style also affected your non-romantic relationships?

 

    • Is your romantic attachment style similar to the attachment style you had with your parents when you were young?

 

    • If it is the same why do you think it has not changed? If it is different what experiences as an adult do you think lead to this change?

 

    • What type of situations might an adult experience that would shift their childhood attachment style to a different adult romantic relationship style?

 

    •           Secure (as a child) to anxious/ambivalent (as an adult)

 

              Avoidant (as a child) to secure (as an adult)

two emerging issues confronting the psychology profession

/in /by

As the psychology profession evolves, new issues continue to arise. Advances in technology influence the way professional psychologists practice, which creates additional considerations such as patient privacy. As the world becomes more globally connected, additional ethical and multicultural issues emerge. As practitioners, professional psychologists must follow both professional and government regulations, both of which are continually changing. At times, these regulations may seem to act as barriers to effective practice. It is critical that psychologists know about these changes so they can accommodate them when necessary. It is your responsibility as a professional psychologist to examine emerging issues confronting the psychology profession and think about how they impact the future of the profession.

To prepare for this Discussion, visit the professional associations and organizations from Discussion 1 of this week. When you visit each website, pay particular attention to sections on the practice of psychology. These sections address the most pressing issues facing professional psychologists, both now and in the future.

Case of Anna O

/in /by

One of the very first cases that caught Freud’s attention when he was starting to develop his psychoanalytic theory was that of Anna O, a patient of fellow psychiatrist Josef Breuer. Although Freud did not directly treat her, he did thoroughly analyze her case as he was fascinated by the fact that her hysteria was “cured” by Breuer. It is her case that he believes was the beginning of the psychoanalytic approach.

Through your analysis of this case, you will not only look deeper into Freud’s psychoanalytic theory but also see how Jung’s neo-psychoanalytic theory compares and contrasts with Freud’s theory.

Review the following:

The Case of Anna O.

One of the first cases that inspired Freud in the development of what would eventually become the Psychoanalytic Theory was the case of Anna O. Anna O. was actually a patient of one of Freud’s colleagues Josef Breuer. Using Breuer’s case notes, Freud was able to analyze the key facts of Anna O’s case.

Anna O. first developed her symptoms while she was taking care of her very ill father with whom she was extremely close. Some of her initial symptoms were loss of appetite to the extent of not eating, weakness, anemia, and development a severe nervous cough. Eventually she developed a severe optic headache and lost the ability to move her head, which then progressed into paralysis of both arms. Her symptoms were not solely physical as she would vacillate between a normal, mental state and a manic-type state in which she would become extremely agitated. There was even a notation of a time for which she hallucinated that the ribbons in her hair were snakes.

Toward the end of her father’s life she stopped speaking her native language of German and instead only spoke in English. A little over a year after she began taking care of her father he passed away. After his passing her symptoms grew to affect her vision, a loss of ability to focus her attention, more extreme hallucinations, and a number of suicidal attempts (Hurst, 1982).

Both Freud and Jung would acknowledge that unconscious processes are at work in this woman’s problems. However, they would come to different conclusions about the origin of these problems and the method by which she should be treated.

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