Assignment 1: Social Psychology

(Assignment 1: Social Psychology)

Consider these examples from a typical, large suburban high school.

  1. Kelly is a sophomore who attends a meeting of the all-male robotics club. She says she has an interest in joining the club and working on building a robot for an upcoming competition. The male members of the club snicker at her and one boy puts his foot out and “accidently” trips Kelly in the aisle. The male teacher in the room tells the boys to settle down, but he also tells Kelly that he isn’t sure she would have the necessary skills for the club, since the other members have all had several years experience building robots. “After all,” he said, “you were probably playing with dolls for all the years these boys were building things and experimenting with electronics.”
  1. John is an artistic, intelligent boy who is not interested in sports or other “typical” male pursuits. He enjoys writing fiction and poetry for the school newspaper. When he gets on the school bus no one will share a seat with him. He ends up standing and a group of students in the back of the bus harass and heckle him, calling him homophobic slurs.
  1. In the teachers’ lounge, a group of Caucasian teachers huddle around the water cooler gossiping about why one of their fellow teachers, an Asian-American woman, was promoted to assistant principle over other teachers with more years of experience. “I know she has a master’s degree, but I still think this is clearly an affirmative action thing—they just want to get more minorities in administration. They don’t care about who is really qualified, and that’s all there is to it.”

Select one of the examples above that you feel illustrates prejudiced attitudes. Answer the following:

  1. What elements of this scenario make it an example of prejudice?
  2. Is there also discrimination present?
  3. Is there stereotyping in this example?
  4. Explain why the predjudice is occurring using the following terms: Social categorization, in-group, out-group, and ingroup-bias.
  5. Based on your readings, what type of intervention could help to reduce prejudice in a situation like this?

Please be sure you address each question, using terms and concepts from your text. A good initial discussion response should be at least 150–250 words in length.

Assignment2: Evaluation Related Issues

Assignment 2: Discussion—Evaluation-Related Issues: Aiden’s Case

(Assignment2: Evaluation Related Issues)

In Aiden’s case, several evaluation-related issues may arise. Firstly, there might be a lack of clarity regarding the purpose and criteria of evaluation. Without clearly defined objectives, assessing Aiden’s performance could be subjective and inconsistent.

Secondly, there could be biases influencing the evaluation process. Aiden’s manager or peers might have preconceived notions or personal preferences that affect their judgment, leading to unfair assessments.

Additionally, the evaluation methods employed may not be appropriate or comprehensive enough to capture Aiden’s true capabilities and contributions. If the assessment tools are outdated or insufficiently robust, they may fail to provide an accurate representation of Aiden’s performance.

Furthermore, there might be a lack of transparency and feedback in the evaluation process. Without open communication and constructive feedback, Aiden may not fully understand the basis of the evaluation or how to improve.

Overall, addressing these evaluation-related issues is crucial for ensuring fairness, accuracy, and effectiveness in assessing Aiden’s performance and fostering his professional development.

(Assignment2: Evaluation Related Issues)

Approaching the issue of whether a child might have an exceptionality can be sensitive. In addition to the emotional reaction of parents, it is important to consider legal and ethical obligations when determining whether to evaluate a child.

Review the following scenario:

Aiden Keller is a fourth grader. Since he enrolled in kindergarten, teachers have been concerned that Aiden seems to struggle more than the other children do, academically and behaviorally. Despite his teacher’s academic and behavioral interventions, Aiden continues to be easily frustrated, talks out of turn, and often refuses to work in class. In addition to falling behind academically, Aiden’s behavior is beginning to affect his relationships with peers.
Aiden’s parents were invited to attend a meeting with his teacher, school counselor, and assistant principal. The school professionals expressed their desire to make a referral for an evaluation to determine whether Aiden has a disability that requires special education support. Although the Kellers have known about Aiden’s problems and experience similar challenges at home, they are worried about their son being “labeled” and placed in special classes.
The Kellers’ concerns are valid and certainly not uncommon.

Using the module readings, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, research evaluation-related issues.

Then, imagine you are sitting with Aiden’s parents to discuss their concerns about evaluating their son. Incorporate what you learned in your readings and respond to the following:

  • Explain how you would address the following to help the parents make an educated decision by describing the following:
    • The benefits of evaluation
    • The long-term impact on their son of not performing the evaluation
    • The legal and ethical issues
  • If Aiden was your child, what would persuade you to allow the evaluation?

Write your initial response in 500–600 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

/in , , /by

 Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

(Myers-Briggs Type Indicator)

Over the years, trait theory has been increasingly used by corporations in hiring and in career counseling. Research has shown that certain combinations of personality traits fit well with different career paths. Thus, personality trait tests for specific jobs can be predictive of both success and satisfaction. Understanding your own personality-trait combinations can give you great insight into your own strengths and weaknesses. With this understanding, you can work to grow your strengths and minimize your weaknesses.

In this assignment, you will explore your personality using a personality test and then analyze the results.

Part 1

First, explore your personality preferences by completing Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MTBI). The full version of the test can only be administered by a trained professional; however, there are many online informal versions of the test which you can find on the Internet. You can search for the test using any one of the following keywords:

  • Personality test + Myers-Briggs typology
  • Myers-Briggs test

Record your four-lettered personality type after completion of the test and use the Internet to interpret your personality type.

Part 2

In this part of the assignment, you will write a research paper that analyses your results. Do the following:

  • Mention your four-letter type and the URL of the Web site where you took the test.
  • Discuss whether this type accurately represents what you know about yourself. Examine the four spectrums and explain your answer thoroughly. Substantiate your agreement or disagreement with real-life behavioral examples.
  • Analyze what you consider the strengths and the weaknesses or challenges of this type. List three strengths and three weaknesses and provide a rationale for each.
  • Evaluate why this test could be a valuable tool for an employer.
  • Analyze how a clinician may use this test as a tool for promoting meaningful interventions in treatment.
  • Summarize what you have learned about yourself through this exercise.

Write a 3–4-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M4_A2.doc.

Vaccination In The Community

Vaccination in the community plays a vital role in safeguarding public health by preventing the spread of infectious diseases. Through widespread vaccination campaigns, communities can achieve herd immunity, protecting even those who cannot be vaccinated due to medical reasons. Community vaccination programs typically involve collaboration between healthcare providers, government agencies, community organizations, and volunteers. These efforts aim to increase vaccine accessibility, raise awareness about the importance of immunization, and address vaccine hesitancy through education and outreach initiatives. Mobile vaccination clinics, community health centers, and schools often serve as key locations for administering vaccines. Additionally, community leaders and influencers play crucial roles in promoting vaccination acceptance and addressing misinformation. Continuous monitoring and evaluation help identify and address barriers to vaccination uptake, ensuring equitable access for all members of the community. By fostering a culture of vaccination, communities can effectively mitigate the impact of infectious diseases and promote overall well-being.

 

1. How does your state (Florida, USA) differ from other states related to vaccination requirements? Have there been any recent changes in vaccination requirements? How do students feel about the possibility of including the HPV vaccine as a requirement for school? What are the pros and cons?

2. What has led to the increase in MRSA transmission in the community (MIAMI)? What are some of the challenges in addressing this problem in the community? How is it often identified and how can it be passed in communities?

3. Based on what you saw in the YouTube presentation

Do you think that PrEP/Truvada it is effective in preventing HIV/AIDS?
