Abstract

 

The Relation between Heredity and Suicidal Behavior has many different experiments to use as examples. Some say that most individuals inherit the suicidal behavior and other does not. This paper will examine different experiments on the outcome of this topic and what might be influenced by genes that might run in a family. Then again there are the other factors that might show the influence of other suicidal behaviors. The outcome will provide different articles that will provide information on the behavior characteristics of suicidal behavior and what the interpersonal psychology theory of suicidal behavior just might be.

The Relation between Heredity and Suicidal Behavior

 

Introduction

 

The paper will focus on examining the relation between heredity and suicidal behavior and also look into the interpersonal psychology theory of suicidal behavior.  The paper will seek to affirm that suicidal behavior is influenced by genes that run in the family lineage and as such it could be inherited. Various theories can be used to explain the relationship between hereditary and suicidal behavior.  One these theories are Interpersonal psychology theory of suicidal behavior.  This theory provides that, acquired capability, belongingness and burdensome are the 3 main determinants of suicidal behavior. The paper will also provide articles review on the interpersonal psychology theory of suicidal behavior.

 

The Research questions

 

This paper is guided by the research question; what does the research show about the relation between heredity and suicidal behavior. This will help in formulating the best research methods and topics for the study.

 

Article review

 

Article 1

 

In the International Journal of Neuropsychopharmacology a meta-analysis research paper on the Brain-derived neurotrophic factor gene in suicidal behavior is presented. This is a meta-analysis work that looks into the brain-derived neurotrophic factor gene in suicidal behavior. The analysis links the BDNF (brain derived neurotrophic factor) to suicidal behavior amongst individuals. The paper uses data from previously published samples and also its own present sample of 3352 subjects among which 1202 have a history of suicidal behavior. The analysis provides a trend in which the Met allele and genotypes carrying Met confer the risk of suicide and are also associated with the history of suicide attempts. The research therefore concludes that the BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) is a contributing factor to suicidality. The research gives room for investigating the role of BDNF in suicidal behavior (Zai, Manchia, De Luca, Tiwari, Chowdhury, Zai, Kennedy, 2012).

 

Article 2

 

An article presented by (Smith, Ribeiro, Mikolajewski, Taylor, Joiner, Iacono, 2012) sought to examine of environmental and genetic contributions to the determinants of suicidal behavior among male twins. This is an original psychiatric research published in 2012. It examines the genetic and environmental contributions to the determinants of suicidal behavior among male wins. In light of the interpersonal psychology theory of suicide, the research focused on the individual differences in the proximal, jointly necessary and sufficient causes of suicidal behavior. According to the interpersonal psychology theory, acquired capability, belongingness and burdensome are the 3 main determinants of suicidal behavior. The research uses a sample of 348 male twins in their adolescent age and employs univariate biometric models to help estimate how the variance in belongingness, acquired capabilities and burdensomeness are affected by the magnitudes of non-additive genetic (D), additive genetic (A), non-shared environmental (E) and shared environmental (C) (Smith, Ribeiro, Mikolajewski, Taylor, Joiner, Iacono, 2012).

 

The research results showed that the best fitting model for acquired capability allowed for environmental and genetic effects, while the best fitting model for belongingness and burdensomeness allowed for non-shared and shared environmental effects. The research findings also provide that burdensomeness and belongingness could be more appropriate target for intervention compared to acquired capabilities (Smith et al, 2012).

 

Article 3

 

Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology presents a case study on familial clustering of suicidal behavior and psychopathology in young suicide attempters. This is a case study that focuses on the familial clustering of suicidal behavior and psychopathology in young suicide attempts. Besides borrowing from previously done studies the case study takes the form of a population-based record-linkage study with a nested control design. The results show that out of the sample used, almost 47% of all the suicide attempts are likely to be connected to family psychopathology, and 13% are associated with family suicide attempt while 7% are associated with suicide completion and the remaining 25% are associated with their own psychology. The research provides that the evaluation of the suicidal behavior in families would form a great base for risk assessment especially among young psychiatric patients (Mittendorfer-Rutz, Rasmussen, Wasserman, 2008).

/in /by

This is the second chapter of your cumulative paper on the four major learning theories in the psychology field. For this chapter, you will focus on social cognitive learning theory.

Social cognitive theory assumes learning can take place vicariously and without reinforcement. However, feedback is important to students. Motivation will obviously produce better learning. There are other critical, personal variables, such as self-efficacy, goal orientation, outcome expectations, and self-regulation that will facilitate learning.

For this paper, you are asked to examine specific aspects of social cognitive theory and compare it to behaviorism. Your paper should be four to five pages in length, not counting your title page or references. Be sure to use examples from your readings and research to support your position throughout your paper. Papers should be double-spaced with a font size of 12 and follow APA style. Address the following in your paper:

· Summarize the major aspects of social cognitive theory.

· Analyze the strengths and weaknesses of social cognitive theory, in general.

· Apply social cognitive theory to a practical situation in your specialization. Describe the situation, how the theory can be applied, and what the expected outcomes would be.

· Describe the relationship between social cognitive theory, motivation, and self-efficacy.

· Compare behaviorism to social cognitive theory.

· Write in a concise, balanced, and logically organized manner.

· Use grammar, punctuation, and mechanics expected of graduate-level composition, using the accepted form and style of the profession, including APA cited support and format.

Paper Requirements

· Number of References: A paper of this length should include references. As a graduate student, you are responsible for determining the appropriate number of resources. The majority of them should be original research articles published in legitimate scientific journals. A few review or survey articles are also acceptable.

· Article Distinctions: Research articles present original research, review articles discuss research already presented elsewhere, and survey articles are comprehensive review articles that discuss an entire field or area of research. If these distinctions are unclear to you, investigate them using the resources in the Writing Feedback Tool or ask your instructor for help. References to books are acceptable, but they should be kept to a minimum—probably no more than five.

· APA Style: You must use proper APA style to cite and list your references. Refer to the Capella Online Writing Center’s APA Style and Formatting guidelines for more information.

· Format: Use the following structure to organize your paper:

· Cover page (your name, your specialization or program, title and course number, current quarter and year, instructor’s name).

· Optional: Abstract.

· Body of paper, including headings and subheadings over the appropriate content.

· Reference list.

· Refer to the APA Style and Formatting guidelines for additional formatting information.

· Style: Write in the third person as an impartial narrator. Avoid the use of I, we, or you. In particular, avoid phrases like “I think” in favor of phrases like “the evidence suggests” or “research indicates.” In science, personal opinion carries no weight unless it is supported by a combination of empirical research and statistical or logical-mathematical inference.

· Other Notes: Avoid long quoted passages from your source texts. Your paper should be a synthesis of your own ideas, in your own words—even if your ideas refer to the original ideas of others, in which case the references should be explicit. A paper at the graduate level should be scholarly and more than a mere summary. It should present a unique thesis or at least a significant point that you are trying to make, adding appreciably to what is already known of your topic. Your point or thesis will stand or fall solely on its strength—that is, the quality and quantity of the evidence that you present.

Identifying Themes               (add a graphic organizer)

 

Identifying themes in your literature is very important because it helps you create a scaffold for your literature review. Without knowing themes, patterns, and trends, the literature review usually reads like a meaningless list with no connection between one study and the next. Also, without identification of themes, there is no appreciation of how scholars are actually having a conversation on paper regarding their discoveries.

By now you have taken part in multiple exercises and assignments which were intended to assist you in clarifying the themes you will pull together in and through your literature review. Now is the time to put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard), and to take all of the preparatory work you have done and to actualize it in a draft of your literature review.

For this assignment, you will develop a Title page, Abstract, and a References page. Articulate your main research/focal question as the opening for your paper. Be sure it is specific, researchable, and important to the field. Then go on to list a detailed outline of the body of the paper, (including all headings and subheadings). Be sure to format your entire paper, including the headings and subheadings according to APA style.

Unit VI Reflection Paper

In Chapter 11, we learn about stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination. Although many forms of negative bias are either socially frowned upon or legally outlawed, there may be one area in which it is still acceptable to hold negative beliefs about people (and perhaps even act on these beliefs): weight. Please watch the following video from Waldorf’s Films on Demand library, and summarize your answers to the following questions in the form of a Reflection Paper:

 

Obesity: Pain and prejudice (1998). In Heart of the Matter. Retrieved from Films on Demand database.

1. What attributions do people tend to make regarding those who are overweight?

2. What evidence does this film present for the possibility of weight prejudice?

3. Based on your knowledge from this class, why might people be more willing to still express negative beliefs towards the overweight?

4. Based on your personal opinion, should the overweight be legally protected from discrimination?
