[Solved] Less Prevalent Among Younger

[Solved] Less Prevalent Among Younger

 

You always provide very insightful research, and I enjoyed reading your post this week. I have a question about the statement; “Humans have normalized the classifications we use to define ourselves”. Are the classifications self-imposed or externally imposed? What are your thoughts based on the research listed below and what the Robbers Cave experiment found?

The Robbers Cave experiment showed that hostility can arise between two groups in conflict and competition for scarce resources. Even if, Sheriff’s primary objective in conducting the Robber Cave Experiment was to investigate how members of a particular social group interact and evolve.  Has the world or this country over the last ten years resurfaced and shown its head on the purpose or outcome of this experiment, or are we born with this trait, or are we all members of both intergroups and intragroup?  An easy way to define intergroup conflict is to think about intergroup conflict vs. intragroup conflict: intergroup conflict is two teams fighting against each other, whereas intragroup conflict is two or more members of the same team fighting each other. I wanted to share some research I found when I went back to research this experiment a little deeper.

Racial resentment of whites toward blacks measured in this manner appears to be less prevalent among younger people (Nteta & Greenlee 2013Maxwell & Schulte 2018). However, its prevalence or relevance to political attitudes and behavior in society has not declined. Racial resentment appears to play a larger role in public opinion in the era of the first black president, Obama, and the racially inflammatory rhetoric of the Trump campaign and administration. Even before Obama became a presidential contender, there were signs that racial resentment was becoming more, not less, relevant for predicting votes among whites in the South (Knuckey 2017). Racial resentment appears to have exerted a weaker effect on approval of Obama in 2012 than in 2009 (Pasek et al. 2014, p. 288), but levels of racial resentment among whites against blacks did not decline between 2008 and 2012 (Pasek et al. 2014, p. 291).  So, based on this research, are the classifications normal or intrawoven into the fabric of the intergroup definition which then carries over into the intragroup conflict?

[Solved] Statement Please Ask Three

[Solved] Statement Please Ask Three

 

Perception of Psychology

Question A

Psychoanalytic theory suggests that some memories can be so painful, that a person can totally block them from their conscious memory and then later “recover” them; either spontaneously or while receiving therapy.  Others argue that these are false memories that can be created through the power of suggestion for some people.  Which viewpoint do you agree with and why?  Have you had a memory that later turned out to be incorrect?  What do you think was the cause of the error in your recollection? 

Question B

Public perception of psychology tends not to portray the entire scope of the field. To evaluate this statement please ask three people who are not in this psychology class (e.g., roommates, parents, friends and professors from other fields) what they think psychologists do. Next, compile a list of the ideas and then compare this list to Chapter 1 of the textbook. What did your small sample miss? What did they over-represent? Why do you think these misperceptions exist?

The purpose of this assignment is to analyze a health care risk management program.

Conduct research on approaches to risk management processes, policies, and concerns in your current or anticipated professional arena to find an example of a risk management plan. Look for a plan with sufficient content to be able to complete this assignment successfully. In a 1,000‐1,250-word paper, provide an analysis of the risk management plan that includes the following:

  1. Summary of the type of risk management plan you selected (new employee, specific audience, community‐focused, etc.) and your rationale for selecting that example. Describe the health care organization to which the plan applies and the role risk management plays in that setting.
  2. Description of the standard administrative steps and processes in a typical health care organization’s risk management program compared to the administrative steps and processes you identify in your selected example plan. (Note: For standard risk management policies and procedures, look up the MIPPA-approved accrediting body that regulates the risk management standards in your chosen health care sector, and consider federal, state, and local statutes as well.)
  3. Analysis of the key agencies and organizations that regulate the administration of safe health care in your area of concentration and an evaluation of the roles each one plays in the risk management oversight process.
  4. Evaluation of your selected risk management plan’s compliance with the standards of its corresponding MIPPA-approved accrediting body relevant to privacy, health care worker safety, and patient safety.
  5. Proposed recommendations or changes you would implement in your risk management program example to enhance, improve, or secure the aforementioned compliance standards.

There are a couple discussions  they do not have to be long

Unit 4 – Discussion A

Worldview Perspective Transformation ( p 28-29)

Identify a psycho-cultural assumption (either about the way you feel the world is/should be or of a personal nature – personal example found on pg 60-61) that you have changed or modified over time. Describe what factors contributed to this change

Unit 4 – Discussion B

Read Kohlborg’s Delemma (p. 30) To gauge the children’s view on the dilemma presented, Kohlberg  followed up with questions similar to

  1. Should the husband have done that?
  2. Would you have done it to save someone you love?
  3. Was it right or wrong?
  4. Or, possibly, morally right and legally wrong?
  5. If caught, tried, and found guilty, should Heinze be sent to jail?

 How would you answer?  Be sure to provide your reasoning behind each answer.

 (Kohlberg emphasized that in determining the stage a person is at it is more important to explore the reasoning than the simple answer that the person gives to the questions.) 

Unit 5- Discussion A

Perspective of Moral and Ego Development

After reading workbook pages 34-41 and R48-R50 answer one of the options below:

  • A) After watching theAmerican Sniper videoLinks to an external site.(what moral principles are going through his mind as he is deciding whether or not to shoot the child  Respond by placing the emphasis on the  why of your answer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MItGoIxoVGk

Discuss a relational situation in your own life (or the life of someone you know) that illustrates the interplay of the attachment components of proximity, safe haven, and secure bond–as well as how trust plays into this. (This may, in fact, dovetail with what you describe in the Resilience Exercise, so you should feel free to identify a different situation or experience. Either way, be sure to relate it to the specifics of attachment theory). 

Unit 5 – Discussion B

 After completing the Inventory (based on Jane Loevinger’s work) on pages R48-R50, indicate the stage you are at according to her model, and briefly indicate one or two of the reasons why. More important, list the three most personally significant qualities that you would like to acquire (e.g., “I have renounced that which is unattainable for me”).

NOTE: I would rather you place emphasis on understanding as opposed to lengthy responding. When you are responding to one another, however, you shouldn’t shortchange each other; use as many words as necessary to fully communicate your thoughts.

Aging Topic- I want to study depression of older people.  Because of my father, I chose this subject. My mother passed away, and my father appears to be depressed. I chose this issue because I would love to help him. Serious depression can result in suicide if it is not treated. 

The Intervention Proposal is set up to build on the assignments that you have already completed. The Aging Topic, the Research Summary, the Interview Assignment: these assignments are all parts of this final project. In order to do well on this project follow these steps:

Step 1:

Download the Word document template for the project. It is available here: FAM 453 Intervention Proposal template.docxDownload FAM 453 Intervention Proposal template.docx

You must use this template to complete the paper. It contains instructions for each section of the paper. once you have downloaded the template, opened it in Word, and reviewed it, move on to the next step.

Step 2:

Think about what you could do to let more people know about the aging topic you have been studying this semester. Something that is meant to make an improvement to a situation is called a “intervention”, and that is what you will be proposing in this project. To get you thinking about what you could do, here is a list of some interventions:

  1. ad campaign (social media, tv, billboard, etc…)
  2. brochures
  3. informational meeting
  4. focus groups
  5. weekly classes
  6. art projects
  7. community outreach activities (parties, barbecues, resource distribution, etc…)
  8. anything else that you can think of that will be effective.

This is your chance to be creative. Think outside the box. You are only proposing this, not actually doing it, so take a chance and think big. Look back at your research summary and interview for ideas and reasoning to back up your choice. Once you have decided what you want to propose, move on to the next step.

Step 3:

Take a look at the Intervention Budget Worksheet in the paper template. Fill in the resources needed for your intervention project according to the category they fall under, with a very brief description of what they are. Make your best estimate for the price of each resource by researching the costs associated with using them, and filling in that number for each item. For example, if you are creating a brochure, there are costs associated with researching, designing, and printing a brochure. Nothing is free, so be sure to account for all the resources your intervention requires, although you may not need a resource in every category. Below are some examples of resources in each category on the worksheet:

  • personnel costs- hourly cost for people to produce other resources; fees to professional speakers/instructors; compensation for any time spent by people other than volunteers
  • materials and supplies- any necessary supplies (paper, pens, etc…); food and beverage expenses; printing costs;
  • electronics and equipment- rental costs for any equipment needed (projector, sound system, computer, food prep equipment, etc..)
  • any other expenses- costs for any resource that does not fit in the other categories (location rental fees, advertising costs, etc…)

Add all of the costs up and enter a total cost at the bottom of the worksheet. After completing this step, move on to the final step in the assignment.

Step 4: 

This is it; you are almost done. Take a look back at the template again and complete each section based on the instructions on the template. Once you complete each section, please delete the instructions. Do not add any extra sections to the template. Do not add your name, or your ID number, or the date, or your favorite color to the beginning of the paper. Pay attention to the rubric for this assignment to be sure you fully complete all parts of the assignment.

Now that you are done, take a break for at least 30 minutes. After your break, come back and make one last review of the paper, correcting any mistakes you find and revising anything that needs it. Then turn it in. You’re done!
