Unit 8 DB: Influencing Others
One of the essential aspects of social psychology is how we influence others and how others influence us. There are many times that we need to change someone’s attitude or thought process both personally and professionally. An example would be health campaigns that are geared toward improving our health behaviors. Advertisements work to encourage us to purchase products as well as improve our feelings toward a product or company. Based on information in Chapter 10 and an additional source, detail at least two ways that we can change someone’s attitude and include at least one example for each.

For this assignment, you are being asked to identify a specific disease we covered in the course. For example, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or cancer. CVD. You are encouraged to refer back to the lecture PowerPoint for a reminder about each illness (its causes, related behaviors, outcomes, etc).
Use PsychInfo (not Google), to find 2-3 peer reviewed full text articles to help answer questions 1-3. Be sure to include the author and year for your citations within the paper and include the reference list at the end. Then, in your own words apply what you’ve learned so far in the course (lectures, films) to answer the reflection questions. Finally, develop a strategy for reducing this disease, or a solution! This needs to be based on the Transtheoretical Model of Change. 
1. Think back to the medical template (for helping psychologists work with people with chronic disease). Describe the outcome, process, etiology and management needs (O.P.E.N.). Be sure cite your references!
2. Give examples of health behaviors associated with the disease and cite your references.
3. Tell me what social, political and/or environmental factors contribute to the disease and cite your references.
Creative Solutions: Using the transtheoretical model of behavior change, 
4. Think back on the films you’ve watched so far in class (Bad Sugar, Becoming American, In Sickness and in Wealth, or I’m Positive Game ). Describe one solution presented in any of those films that targeted dangerous conditions and unhealthy spaces and places that contribute to the disease. 
5. Then, using the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change, tell me who the target of the solution you described in question 4. Was it patients, community members, and/or elected officials? And what stage of change best describes them (Precontemplation, Contemplation, Preparation, Action, or Maintenance).
6. Finally, select any other stage of change, and tell me what different processes of changewould be necessary for people in that stage to engage with in order to create positive change. 

For this assignment, imagine you received this email from your boss:
“Greetings,
We are considering implementing a goal-setting program in the organization. Do you have any opinions or thoughts on this? Help us understand the pros and cons of this and then provide us with your recommendation.”

After reading Olson Chapter 7, prepare a complete response to this prompt.
Pavlov is a behaviorist… what does this mean? (e.g. what are the features of a behaviorist theory and how does his theory meet the criterion?)
Describe the theory of classical conditioning… what is the general premise?  How does it work? What does it rely on?
Summarize Pavlov’s seminal work with his dog (e.g. hypothesis, IV, DV, general findings)
Also, describe the details. (e.g. Acquisition, Extinction, Spontaneous Recovery, Variations in Contiguity, Higher Order Conditioning, Stimulus Generalization & Stimulus Discrimination)
What are the major criticisms of the theory of classical conditioning?

In this assignment, you will apply a decision-making model to address dual role relationships and ethical boundaries. You will also address the importance of multidisciplinary roles in the field, supervision, and reflection on your development and ethical practices.
In the final section, you may use first person.
Access the “Counselor Ethical Boundaries and Practices Assignment Guidelines” document. Complete the project according to the assignment guidelines.
Include at least six scholarly resources in addition to the textbook in your paper.

The concept of disequilibrium denotes a lack of balance (equilibrium) within schemes and operations. Cognitive dissonance can be likened to disequilibrium in that maintaining contradictory beliefs leads to feelings of discomfort and a desire to adjust those beliefs to remove any inconsistency. Schemes could be adjusted to accommodate the new information. Alternatively, the new information could be rejected and the scheme remains intact. The individual might seek out or interpret information so it supports their beliefs (known as confirmation bias). One real-life example of cognitive dissonance involves childhood vaccinations and autism. A number of parents have not had their children vaccinated because they believe vaccinations cause autism. Despite scientists being unable to find a link between childhood vaccinations and autism (CDC, 2015), the belief persists. As you read the McLeod and O’Leary articles, consider how these parents resolved their cognitive dissonance.

For this Assignment, you will examine cognitive dissonance through a specific scenario. TO PREPARE
Review the Cognitive Dissonance Scenarios found in this week’s Learning Resources and choose one of the following scenarios:
Cognitive Dissonance Scenario #1
Cognitive Dissonance Scenario #2
Cognitive Dissonance Scenario #3
TO COMPLETE
Identify the scenario you chose and based on this scenario, write a 2- to 3-page paper that includes the following:
A definition of cognitive dissonance and a description of the dissonance present in the scenario you chose.
Include two suggestions to resolve the dissonance: one using accommodation and one using assimilation, with a detailed explanation for each.
Based on the Learning Resources from this week, explain which solution you think will be most effective in reducing dissonance and explain why.
