Instructions Warm-Up Activity 1.1: How to Prepare a Timeline Timelines are a visual way to present information to readers. By using text, graphics and pictures, you can deliver background information in a unique, yet understandable manner. Timeline tips: Your assignment provides you with general information and instructions on what you need to include in your timeline. 1. Outline your timeline. Start by outlining your key points and dates that your timeline needs to cover. This approach will help you to identify, present, and submit your information in a logical manner. 2. Research events, theories, individuals, etc. Next, as you do with any assignment, locate accurate information about your timeline elements. Remember to keep track of your source materials because you will need to provide citations and references for your work. 3. Locate images. Because your timeline is a visual presentation of information, locate images (pictures, art, graphics, etc.) that you can incorporate into your timeline. 4. Decide on a format. You can create a timeline by using several, different methods. If you have Excel, Word, and PowerPoint, visit the following website for instructions on how to create a timeline: https://support.office.com/en-US/Article/Create-a-timeline-1770e4df-3a4a-4145-a35a-e8973497d9e7?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US. You may also want to check for any free timeline templates on the Internet. 5. Decide how to present information. Consider how you will present the information. Once you have decided, be consistent in your approach. For example, if you name a theorist or key figure, will you include his/her birth and death dates? How much detail will you provide about an individual, a theory, an event, etc.? 6. Use color, bold, italics, and font size for emphasis. If there are specific points that you want the reader to notice, consider using bold, italics, or color for emphasis. You may also want to use a larger or smaller font size to indicate relationships within the content. Whatever your choice, be consistent and use emphasis elements sparingly (one color or technique). 7. Cite and reference source material. Images and information must be cited and referenced. Depending on the template you decide to use, you may use citations with footnotes to indicate the source (in a spreadsheet program) or citations, and then a separate reference page or slide (in a word processing document or presentation program). Be sure to adhere to basic APA format for references. Assignment For this task, you will place the following psychologists and their motivational research on a timeline. In your timeline, indicate the year or decade in which the individual�s contributions were made, and then provide a brief summary of the individual�s key findings or theory. Key theorists � Richard P. Bagozzi and Paul R. Warshaw � Frank and Lillian Gilbreth � Jerald Greenberg � Frederick Herzberg � Robert Hoppock � Kurt Lewin � Edwin Locke � Abraham Maslow � Elton Mayo � Hugo M�nsterberg � Walter Dill Scott � Edward Thorndike � Louis Leon Thurstone � Morris Viteles

III. Levels of Prevention: In this section, you will describe the prevention strategies used by the epidemiologists in the research study. You will identify a strategy for each level of prevention and differentiate between the strategies. A. Describe a primary prevention strategy represented in the research study, and explain how it addresses key factors impacting the health issue of the specific population.  B. Describe a secondary prevention strategy represented in the research study, and explain how it addresses key factors impacting the health issue of the specific population.

 

 

C. Describe a tertiary prevention strategy represented in the research study, and explain how it addresses key factors impacting the health issue of the specific population.  D. Explain how the primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention strategies differ in how they address the key factors impacting the health issue in the research study.

 

IV. Conclusion: Now that you have analyzed the research study, you will develop a research question to further investigate the specific health issue and population, select an appropriate research design, and explain the importance of the research to the field of public health. A. Using your analysis of the research study, develop a research question to further investigate the specific public health issue and impacted population.  B. Determine whether an observational or experimental research design would be more appropriate to investigate your research question. Be sure to justify your determination.  C. Explain the importance of further research for improving the quality of health in the specific population. What is the potential benefit?

Examine the personality assessment instrument used in the scenario and research a peer-reviewed article in the Ashford University Library on this personality assessment.

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read the Splett, Fowler, Weist, McDaniel, & Dvorsky (2013), Stinnett, Bui, & Capaccioli, (2013), and  Kosher, Jiang, Ben-Arieh, & Huebner, (2014) articles,  and review Chapters 10 through 13 in your textbook.

For this discussion, you will be taking on the role of the school psychologist in a public middle school. In this role, you will facilitate the evaluation of a student based on psychoeducational personality assessments, mental status exam, and observations of the student to make recommendations to the education team consisting of yourself, school counselors, and teachers who work with the student. Carefully review the PSY615: Week Three School Psychologist-Based Personality and Behavior Assessment Scenario  (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..

In your initial post:

  • Examine the personality assessment instrument used in the scenario and research a peer-reviewed article in the Ashford University Library on this personality assessment.
  • Using the required articles as well as your researched article to support your statements, describe the standard use of this personality assessment.
  • Based on the scenario, evaluate the reliability, validity, and cultural considerations inherent to the personality assessment used and comment on the relevance of these elements within the scenario.
  • Analyze and describe some of the potential ethical issues which might arise from the use of this personality assessment in the given scenario.
  • Provide information from your research regarding the use of the personality measure, and assess the value of other possible instruments that could be added to create a more complete assessment of the student in the scenario.

Describe Erikson’s stage of generativity versus stagnation, noting major personality changes of middle adulthood and related research findings.

/in /by

Generativity represents a major unifying theme in middle-aged adults’ life stories. Generative adults develop a way of thinking about the self that fosters a caring, compassionate approach to others.  In this discussion we will discuss the concepts of generativity further.

As you create your discussion post, consider the following:

  • What stereotypes are associated with middle age? Have you ever heard about or seen someone in a ‘mid-life crisis’? If you are not at this stage, where do you see yourself during mid-life?

By the end of this discussion, you will be able to:

  • Describe Erikson’s stage of generativity versus stagnation, noting major personality changes of middle adulthood and related research findings.

Complete the following:

Describe Erik Erikson’s Generativity versus Stagnation stage. According to Erikson, how does personality change in middle age? What personal and cultural forces motivate generativity? Why does it increase and contribute vitally to favorable adjustment in midlife? Be sure to include in your response information from the textbook or other psychology-specific sources.

 

Initial Discussion Post

We ask that your initial post should be at least 250 words and must substantively integrate the assigned readings from the module with proper APA style formatting. You may use additional sources and materials as long as they are relevant to the discussion and cited properly with APA style citations.
