risk-taking behaviors by adolescents.

Adolescence is the transition period between childhood and adulthood. During this transition, adolescents develop their own sense of identity independent of their caregivers. Relationships with caregivers, teachers, and peers can have an impact on the types of behaviors in which an adolescent engages. In order to establish their sense of identity, adolescents often have to try out new roles and new experiences associated with more adult behaviors, which can sometimes translate into adolescent risk-taking. The personal fable and imaginary audience can contribute to the willingness to engage in risky behavior. A personal fable is when an individual believes he/she is the only one experiencing a feeling; such as, his/her parents do not understand what they are going through. Adolescents preoccupied in their peer groups sometimes develop imaginary audiences because they believe others are constantly judging them. Culture and gender also influence how the adolescent perceives risk-taking behavior. While risk-taking behavior is predominantly perceived as unwanted dangerous behavior, it is not necessarily so. Sexual expression among adolescents need not result in pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases, just as concerns with physical appearance do not always lead to eating disorders or depression.

For this Discussion, you will examine risk-taking behaviors by adolescents.

To prepare for this Discussion:

  • Review the Learning Resources related to adolescent behaviors.

By Day 4

Post a description of two adolescent risk-taking behaviors. For each behavior, provide two sources of influence. Then, describe general strategies for mitigating negative risk-taking behavior and explain why you selected these strategies. Justify your response with citations from the Learning Resources/literature. Use proper APA format and citations

explore cyber-victimization in your local area and examine how this experience may impact individuals, families, communities, and the workplace.

Wright and Li (2013) postulate that adolescents who have been victims of cyberbullying or even face-to-face bullying may suffer from tremendous “anger and frustration.” The experience may lead to their need for revenge that is ultimately expressed in their future victimizing behavior.

In this week’s Discussion, you explore cyber-victimization in your local area and examine how this experience may impact individuals, families, communities, and the workplace.

To Prepare for this Discussion:

  • Review this week’s Learning Resources and consider the impact of cyber-victimization on individuals, families, communities, and the workplace.
  • Next, consider an event when cyber-victimization has taken place.
  • Search the Internet to find an online newspaper article, or any other newsworthy information about the event that has taken place.

By Day 4

Post a description of the event supported by any other information from the article you found in your research. Next, provide an explanation of the effects of the cyber-victimization on the individual, the family, the community, and the workplace. Include at least one scholarly source. Use proper APA format and citations.

Dave, a 16-year old boy, is seen in an intake counseling session  accompanied by his mother. His mother is worried because Dave is so  angry.  Dave tells you that he hates his parents. He tells you that he  is sick of his father’s alcoholic rages and his mother making excuses  for them. Mom tells you that Dave will argue and pick a fight with his  father when Dad is drinking.  Often times, this ends with fights between  Dave and his Dad.  On more than one occasion Dave has suffered from a  black eye. Dave tells you that he only picks these fights to protect his  12-year old brother by “getting the heat off of him”. Mom tells you  that it’s always impossible for her to tell who started the physical  fight and asks what she should do.

Company Assessment

Assignment 2: LASA 2: Company Assessment

Directions:

Conduct an interview with an employee (preferably a supervisor or manager) at your current job or a previous job. If you have no prior work experience, you may interview a family member or friend who is currently employed.  You have just been promoted to the manager of your department and have been asked to review the following:

  • Value of a team environment: Is the company operating with a team structure?  How effective is the team structure?  How could the company improve the effectiveness of the team environment?  If there is no team structure currently in place, how should one be implemented?
  • Job satisfaction of the employees: Are the employees satisfied or is there a lot of complaining, absenteeism, and turnover?  What could the company be doing to improve job satisfaction?
  • How does the company currently communicate with their employees regarding company changes?  Do they rely on technology for their announcements?  Is this an effective method of communication?
  • Efforts made to motivate your employees: What is being done to motivate the employees? Do employees get regular pay raises?   Is there a rewards program?  Are they being recognized for their accomplishments?  Name at least three things the company could be doing to motivate their employees.
  • Assistance offered in helping your employees to deal with stress management: Are the employees given any tools to deal with stress management?  Does the company have access to mental health counselors?  Are employees given permission to take any mental health days?  What could the company be doing to help employees deal with their employees’ stress?

Prepare a 4-6 page report that includes an overall assessment of how each of the above is currently being handled and how you would change the system.  Be sure to provide examples and be specific in your reasoning behind your suggested changes.  Utilize at least three scholarly resources in your report (one of which may be your text book). This report must include:

  • Executive Summary
  • Analyze and explain what is being done in the five areas described above (team, job satisfaction,  communication, motivation, and stress management) in the company.
  • Write recommendations for what they could be doing better in all five areas
  • Conclusion
  • Appendix: List of questions asked in interview

Effective Employee Feedback

Topic: Effective Employee Feedback

Analysis of Research II

Details:

In this course, we began to move toward the concept of the literature review, an important element of the dissertation process. As you have learned, synthesis is the process of creating a new idea by analyzing multiple disparate concepts or notions to discern the common thematic or connecting principles among them. Synthesis of research is a process learned through time and practice. In this assignment, you will continue to analyze research. Instead of approaching the research articles as individual entities, you should compare, analyze, evaluate, and synthesize the information you are reading.

General Requirements:

Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:

· Review five journal articles found in Topics 4-6 of this course.

· Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments. The APA Style Guide is located in the Student Success Center.

· Refer to the resource, “Preparing Annotated Bibliographies,” located in the Student Success Center, for additional guidance on completing this assignment in the appropriate style.

· Refer to the sample annotated bibliography attached to this assignment.

Directions:

Provide an evaluation (750-1,000 words total) of at least five journal articles from Topics 4-6 of this course. Include the following for each article:

1. The article citation, which is not included in the total word count.

2. A written summary of the key concept(s) of the articles. Consider the following questions: Why were the studies done? What were the populations studied? What did the researcher(s) conclude? How are the research questions or findings similar/different? What other information about these studies do you believe is unique or important to recall? Are there specific statements made by the authors that you wish to retain? How might these articles compare with others you read? What new ideas can come out of the articles you are evaluating?

Sensation, Perception, and Consciousness

PSY-102 – General Psychology

Topic 2 – Sensation, Perception, and Consciousness

Sensation and Perception: Application

Directions: Making concepts personally relevant to an individual helps to learn them. Below are several concepts from your reading. Provide a psychological definition of the term and connect it to personal example in your life. Each concept should be a minimum of 50 words with citations to support your examples. List all references at the end of the list in APA style. Do not use examples in the book!

Example:

Sensation – I like listening to my music before going to sleep, but if my parents hear my music after 10 pm, I get in trouble. If my music is below their absolute threshold, then I won’t get in trouble, because they won’t hear it. It is really hard to keep it below their absolute thresholds because it seems that even the faintest amount of sound coming from my room is detectable. In this example, the absolute threshold is the lowest amount of volume that they can detect up to 50% of the time (Grison, Heatherton, & Gazzaniga, 2017).

1. Absolute Threshold

2. Difference Threshold

3. Sensory Adaptation

4. Dark/Light Adaptation

5. The Gate-Control Theory of Pain

6. Perception

7. Choose One of These – Closure, Proximity, Similarity, or Simplicity

8. Top Down Processing or Bottom Up Processing

9. Depth Perception

10. Perceptual Constancy
