Overview: As the final project for PSY 108, you will choose a problem or issue from a provided list to which you can apply the concepts or theories learned in this class. You will then develop an action plan for how you will use psychological ideas and principles in addressing the problem. This assessment will help you recognize the value of psychology, the value of supporting your claims with established views and research, and how psychology can be applied to personal situations.

 

Prompt: For this milestone, you will identify two relevant psychological theories that will support your future action plan and describe how each of these can be applied to address the problem you described in Milestone One. You will also discuss how the perspectives of psychologists in different subject areas can inform how you approach your problem in preparation for your action plan. Additionally, you’ll describe the ethical implications that need to be considered in the creation of your action plan.

 

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

 

II. Plan Support: In this part of the assessment, you will identify theories and perspectives in psychology that will support your future action plan. A. Identify relevant fundamental theories in psychology discussed in the course which could be applied to address the problem.  B. Describe how you would apply these fundamental theories in psychology to address the problem.  C. Explain how you can use the perspectives of psychologists in different subject areas within the field to approach your problem.  D. Describe the ethical implications that will need to be considered in the creation of your action plan.

 

Guidelines for Submission: You will upload the polished version of the Word document you downloaded from Soomo to the Your SNHU course submission link for instructor grading and feedback. Please see the feedback provided by your instructor in Your SNHU course. Your submission for Milestone Three should be 3 to 4 paragraphs in length, with 12-point Times New Roman font and double spacing.

 How do you prepare a child for deployments, for relocations, or for adjustments to military life, in general?

How do you prepare a child for deployments, for relocations, or for adjustments to military life, in general? How do you support a child whose father or mother has been injured in combat and whose life has changed dramatically since the parent deployed? Statistically, military children are resilient, amenable, and flexible (Blaisure, Saathoff-Wells, Pereira, Wadsworth, & Dombro, 2012). They withstand a great deal of change and uncertainty. These children may ask: Will my parent return from combat? Why does my parent have to miss my graduation? Why do I have to attend another school?

Parents performing military duty may miss many events that children typically expect parents to attend. Military life can have dramatic positive and negative effects on children. Helping children understand the role of their loved one in the military and providing support is crucial to help children adjust effectively.

If you are interested in working with military personnel and their families, you need to understand the most effective strategies for supporting military children in dealing with some of the most difficult aspects of military life.

For this Discussion, consider strategies you would recommend to parents or family members of military children or adolescents in one of the following areas:

  1. Suggestions for supporting military children/adolescents whose parents deploy
  2. Suggestions for supporting children/adolescents with dual parents deploying
  3. Suggestions for supporting children/adolescents with PCS/relocating
  4. Suggestions for supporting children/adolescents whose parents were injured in combat

 

Post your suggestions for supporting children/adolescents. Explain the impact of military life on children.

Be sure to support your post with specific references to the resources. If you are using additional articles, be sure to provide full APA-formatted citations for your references.

  • “The Learning Brain: Lessons for Education: A Précis”
  • “The Cultural-Historical Foundations of the Zone of Proximal Development”

  • “Linguistic variation and micro-cues in first language acquisition.”

Based on your resources this week, choose three areas of language acquisition that you found most interesting and that were unknown to you prior to this week.

In your initial post,

  • Explain the theoretical perspectives of each of these chosen areas.
  • Apply skeptical inquiry to a brief discussion about why language acquisition is an important area for scholars and educators to understand when developing learning opportunities.
  • Apply the concept of language acquisition to your own academic success. Has your own language development affected your success as a student? As an employee? How? Based on the resources and your current knowledge, do you believe you could develop areas of language acquisition, personally, that would be beneficial to you, your loved ones, or your friends? Post an explanation of the relationship between racism and privilege. Furthermore, explain how the concepts of racism and privilege relate to “Working With Individuals: The Case of Mary.” Explain the impact of racism and privilege on social work practice. Provide recommendations for how you as a social worker might use an empowerment perspective when responding to Mary. Be specific and provide examples from the case. Also, identify specific skills social workers might employ.300-400 Words

Research Psychologist A has been conducting a study with human subjects for nearly a year. As a result, A has come to know Participant M quite well. The study is taking longer than expected, and some of the participants are leaving the study. Because of the nature of the working relationship with the participants, Research Psychologist A and Participant M have become interested in an intimate relationship. Since neither one wants to jeopardize the progress of the study, they agree to retain only a professional relationship for the duration of the study, and then to pursue an intimate relationship once the study is completed and the results have been published.

In this assignment, you will address the ethical issues of this case and will present options for resolving the ethical conflict. You will be required to consider individual perceptions as well as the needs, potential, and motivation of the involved parties when positing your resolution.
