  • “Social Media’s Impact on Psychological Well-Being: A Debate on Positive and Negative Effects”

    In “Social Media’s Growing Impact on Our Lives,” Summer Allen (2019) writes, “The question as to how social media affects psychological well-being—both for teens and adults—is a common one. While some studies have found associations between social media use and loneliness, depression, and poor life satisfaction, these associations don’t necessarily mean that social media is to blame.”
    Take a position. Does social media positively or negatively impact psychological well-being?
    First, title your post either “Social Media Positively Impacts Psychological Well-Being” or “Social Media Negatively Impacts Psychological Well-Being.”
    For your initial post, address the following:
    Make your case by persuasively arguing your position. Include at least one scholarly article to support your position.
    Link social media’s effect on psychological well-being to at least one programmatic course theme:
    Self-care
    Social justice
    Emotional intelligence
    Career connections
    Ethics

  • Title: The Impact of Childhood Poverty on Cognitive Development, Health Outcomes, and Attitudes Towards Aging: An Analysis of Wise’s Article and Suggestions for Effective Interventions

    Article Analysis
    Of major concern to educators and psychologists alike is the relationship of childhood poverty and deprivation on suppressed cognitive development, executive functioning, and attention. Further, recent research suggests that childhood poverty also can play an important role in negative health outcomes and attitudes towards aging that extend into adulthood. Discuss the research of this topic and suggest effective interventions for using childhood as a springboard for promoting healthy aging.
    The embedded articleis also found in the SUO library reference:
    Wise, P. (2016).  Child poverty and the promise of human capacity: Childhood as a foundation for healthy aging.  Academic Pediatrics (16), S37-S45. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.acap.2016.01.014
    Use the lessons and vocabulary found in the readings. Your responses should clarify your understanding of the topic and should be original and free from plagiarism. Follow APA guidelines for the writing style, spelling and grammar, and citation of sources.

    Use the ABLLS-R (Sky Holley) or AFLS (Marshall Monroe) assessment materials provided in the learning activity to support your responses.
    Use the Behavior Intervention Plan Template to write a BIP for your client, incorporating the following:
    – Operational definitions of target behavior (skill acquisition and behavior reduction and a rationale for choosing them for the intervention.
    – A summary of the results of the skills and functional assessments you chose for this assignment

    – A prediction of the likelihood of lack of progress and unintended effects during intervention, a discussion of what the unintended effects might be, and how you would address the effects.
    – A desсrіption of how you programmed for maintenance and generalization of behavior change for each intervention using scholarly resources to validate your prediction.

  • Revised Methods for a Research Proposal: Investigating the Effects of Mindfulness Meditation on Stress Reduction Introduction The need for additional research on the effectiveness of mindfulness meditation as a stress reduction technique has been highlighted in previous studies (Brown & Ryan,

    **I WILL ADD WHAT NEEDS TO RBE SPECIFICALLY REVISED PER THE INSTRUCTORS FEEDBACK AT THE BOTTOM. THE ASSIGNMENT THAT NEEDS TO BE REVISED WILL BE ATTACHED.** 
    In PSY-452: Experimental Psychology in Topic 8 you completed the Research Report assignment. In this course you will revise components from the PSY-452 assignment and use those revised components to create a research proposal at the end of this course. You should treat this assignment as a potential portfolio piece or writing sample for future grad school applications or job interview.
    For this assignment, revise the Methods from the Research Report in PSY-452. You are required to keep the following sections: participants, materials/instruments/apparatuses, procedures, and design. As you make revisions to the Methods make sure to include the following information in each section:
    Introduction paragraph: Describe the need for additional research on your topic, which you found and pointed to at the end of the literature review. State the purpose of your study in a problem statement or hypothesis. Finally, write a thesis statement which describes what the purpose of this section of the paper is: to present the methods including participants, materials, procedures, and design, that will be used to conduct the study.
    Participants: In this section, you are only to focus on presenting the demographic of those who can participate in your study. You will also present any excluding factors that are not implied when stating who can participate. Be specific about any factors that would be included in the study (i.e. age, gender, race/ethnicity, SES, education level, etc.). Include how many participants you will need to conduct the study. Your sample size should be based upon how you plan to generalize the results. In other words, to whom would the results be applied?
    Materials/Instruments/Apparatuses: List all materials you will need to conduct your study. Do not discuss how they will be used, just state what you need (i.e. tables, chairs, a room, pencils, surveys, a computer to create surveys, send them out and store the data, etc.)
    Procedures: Make sure this section is written in detail. You will begin with providing informed consent and write detailed directions that you will follow (in paragraph format) to conduct this study. It should be so clearly written that another researcher could replicate your study.
    Design: Describe the design of your study (descriptive, correlational, qualitative, quantitative and/or experimental). Also, describe how participants are assigned to groups if applicable (i.e. within/between).
    Conclusion paragraph: Summarize the main points from the whole research proposal.
    Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide.
    Items to be revised: 
    You need to add one paragraph at the very end that talks about how your proposed research adds to the existing literature. Make it its own subsection called “This study’s purpose” or something like that. 
    Add transition sentences, I think it will really help organize your paper, you must cite everything that is not common knowledge. 
    Double space consistently, add in text citations. 
    Italicize journals, do not include websites, only DOIs.
