Compare And Contrast Theoretical Perspectives

/in /by

There are many different theoretical perspectives of human behavior. These perspectives influence the way you relate to others, conceptualize the development of maladaptive and adaptive behaviors, and interpret your worldview.

Tasks:

Using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, explore these concepts and complete the following tasks:

  • Analyze and compare and contrast two theoretical orientations that attempt to explain human behavior.
  • Develop a detailed case vignette that addresses multidimensional aspects of human behavior (i.e., maladaptive and adaptive beliefs, recent role transitions, support networks, and familial and cultural contexts). You can use the cases included in the reading material or course room as guides.
  • Apply one of the two theoretical orientations you chose for your case to explain the individual’s behavior.
  • Be sure to consider all dimensions of human behavior (psychological, social, biological, and spiritual) and synthesize in your paper how they fit within your theoretical framework.

Submission Details:

  • By Saturday, September 26, 2015, post your responses to this Discussion Area in a minimum of 300 words. Your response should rely upon at least two sources from professional literature.

What is (are) the independent variable(s) in this study?

Must be completely familiar with APA style formatting! Answer all 5 questions please!

 

1. The following paragraph has been formatted incorrectly according to APA formatting rules. Identify and describe 4 errors in the following paragraph:

Smith, Jones, & Terry 2008 investigated the effects of death-qualification on jurors’ confidence. A “death-qualified” juror is one who is willing to give the death penalty. 60 college students were randomly assigned to one of 2 different conditions. In both conditions, participants completed a short questionnaire that asked them whether they would or would not be willing to give the death penalty. In the first condition, participants reported aloud their response, and those participants who were not willing to give the death penalty were asked to leave the experiment. In the other condition, participants handed in their response on a written survey. Again, the researchers told participants who were not willing to give the death penalty to leave. After participants unwilling to give the death penalty left, the researchers told the remaining 45 “death-qualified” participants to fill out surveys regarding how confident they felt in their original death-qualification answers. The researchers found that, “participants in the verbal response condition were more confident in their death qualification status than participants in the written response condition”. The researchers concluded that making public commitments about death-qualification status makes participants more confident in their death-qualified status.
