Focus on the importance of using social media when starting a consulting business. Create a discussion post related to the concepts in the readings for this week.
Here are some ideas for your post:
Describe how you plan to use social media to promote your business. How you will integrate the use of social media with other strategies for branding and marketing? Identify any ethical considerations in relation to your plan.
Select a concept from your readings that you found particularly interesting, illuminating, or insightful. Discuss how you would apply what you learned to your professional life. Find other resources to support your thoughts.

Describe the importance of ethics in developmental research. What are some of the special precautions that researchers working with children must take?
discussion must have a minimum of 250 words and contain at least 2 citations for each posting to support your facts, include a separate reference section that doesn’t count toward your word count

AS Description: The general adaptation syndrome (GAS) is a theory developed by Hans Selye who suggested that a person’s physiological response to a stressor exists in three stages. Identify and explain each of the stages and include examples to specific stressors from your own life. Distinguish stressors between cataclysmic, personal, and background stressors.
AS Instructions: Create your response into a word document with a minimum of 550-700 word count. Use appropriate APA in text citations where needed and a full reference page.

Please share your thoughts on how disasters can affect diverse populations: How do disparities in health care resources affect response to and recovery from disasters?

General Psychology: Behavioral Analysis Project
Project Description: This project requires you to
1. Complete analysis of a person(s) through observations
2. Write a paper about the observations, explaining your analysis. In other words, you will engage in “people watching” and analyze behavior or patterns of behavior you see. This is a descriptive research project.
Examples of people you may consider for observation and analysis:
• Workgroup or colleagues
• A Family Member such as a parent or sibling
• Peers from class or school
• Peers from church or a religious group
• Close Friendship(s) or Relationship(s)
• Person(s) joined to do a common thing (i.e., sports, online environments, gaming, music, etc.)
• A character(s) in a series or show–make sure it’s long enough to meet the 24-hour requirement
Project Instructions:
· Pick the person(s) you will watch and analyze and complete an observational plan.
· Choose one to three people to observe. If you choose to observe more than one person (2 or 3), all of them should be in a group or in the same setting at the same time. You can discuss how they influence one another
· After you have decided on who you will watch, you will start your observations. Your observations should lead to an analysis of behaviors you see by considering what you see through the lens of psychology.
· Do not tell the participant(s) that you are watching them; this may change their behavior! If you are writing about “real” people (not a character) you will use an alias to protect their privacy.
· You must engage in observations for a minimum of 24hrs. Take notes to help you write your paper. Your observations should build on each other and give you guidance on particular things you want to pay attention from one observation to the next.
· After you have completed your observations, you will write a 3-5-page APA formatted paper connecting what you saw in your observations to course concepts learned about in psychology. This length DOES NOT include your title, abstract, and reference page.
· You are required to write about five-course concepts (or more). Course concepts should come from the textbook, notes, videos, or other class materials. Be certain you can thoroughly explain each concept and provide specific “real life” examples or evidence that you saw during your observations. You should have a paragraph (or more) for each concept.
· Include a conclusion paragraph (minimum of 4-5 sentences) explaining how completing the analysis project has facilitated your understanding/awareness of psychology in your daily life.
·You will have a minimum of 7 paragraphs: An Intro; a paragraph for each of the five concepts; and conclusion.
·In addition you need a title page, abstract, and reference page in APA format.
· Include a reference to the textbook and any other sources you used for your writing. You should have a minimum of 3 sources.

Please make a discussion post related to the weekly content. For each post, be succinct (use no more than 75 words) and professional. Do not create your post as a reply to the pinned post. Instead, use Yellowdig’s Create option to create a new post.
Correlations are most often used when the variables are continuous. This week, we are learning how categorical variables can be incorporated in correlational analyses. Please reply to one of the following in your discussion post:
Share and discuss an outside resource such as a link to a video, website, or scholarly article that discusses the use of categorical predictor variables in multiple regression analysis. Why did you pick this to share?
Identify a research question from your professional life or research interests that could be addressed with dummy predictor variables in multiple regression. Explain how you would dummy code your predictor variable.
If your friend was designing a study for their dissertation and said they wanted to include a categorical variable as a predictor variable, what advice would you give them?
Ask any questions you might have about this week’s content.

Write a 5 paragraph essay answering the question “What would be the most effective and realistic changes you could make to improve your sleep?” 
Begin by doing some preliminary online research on effective ways of improving your sleep. You should come up with at least 4 ways you could improve (3 will be your sub-claims and 1 will be your counter-claim), and have 2 pieces of evidence that support each of the 3 sub-claims and 1 piece for your counter-claim (these should be fact based ie. patients who slept with toe warmers decreased the number of times they woke up at night by 3,000%). Next you should begin working on your introductory paragraph by giving backstory regarding your current sleeping habits as shown by your Sleep Log ( I atteched the file of my sleep log so you can see), defining sleep, and explaining the importance of getting good sleep. End your introductory paragraph by writing a thesis using the 4 ways you could improve that you already identified. Each of the 3 body paragraphs should begin with a topic sentence and include 2 pieces of evidence supporting that method of improvement, as well as an explanation of why each piece of evidence supports the use of that method of improvement. End your essay with a conclusion that summarizes your essay in approximately 3 sentences.

Gender Differences in Personality
This week, your discussion assignment is about male and female differences in personality. What male and female differences in personality have you observed and where do you think they come from (e.g., are they learned, inborn, etc.)? NOTE: If you believe more than one personality theory explains male/female differences, give concrete examples. Link the theory you choose solidly to the personality differences you describe to provide evidence of your thorough comprehension of your selected theory by your accurate application of it rather than just picking a theory by name and listing characteristics believed by the general public to differ between genders. You must describe how the theory you choose explains specific differences.
Also, required for each Discussion are three (3) replies to at least three different classmates. ( student discussions are attached, mention names with the replies).
