Category: Psychology

you will write a four-page paper (double-spaced, 1 inch margins, and 12-point font). It is
important to be a critical consumer of research. Research reports can sometimes be misleading
because authors “cherry pick” the findings to report (“Sub-group analysis”) and certain other
things to get an article accepted. You will find one scholarly article describing a study done by a
clinical or counseling psychologist or a psychologist doing clinically-relevant research, that has
also been reported on in the popular press. You will read both the popular article that describes
the findings from the journal article, AND the actual journal article.
 You will write a paper that critically evaluates this popular report compared to the scholarly
article. Questions might include What did the popular article get right? What did it get wrong?
Was the popular article well-written and clear? Why or why not? Did the popular article convey
the main points of the research article? How would you make the popular article better?
 Turn in this paper, a copy of the popular article, and a copy of the journal article together. Due
date: See “Class Schedule” below. DON’T PROCRASTINATE!
 The term paper should use APA style formatting, which among other things includes:
1. Cover page – A missing title page will result in a 5-point deduction of this assignment grade.
Include paper title, CLASS NAME AND NUMBER, and YOUR NAME
2. Body – 4-5 pages (not including cover and reference pages):
a. At least 3 headings of your choice are required; however, you may include
more headings if you prefer. Less than 3 headings will result in a deduction of
2 points per missing heading.
b. Points will be deducted for papers less than 4 full pages (5 points per full page,
3 points per half page, 2 points per quarter page). Points will also be deducted
for “creative” (NON-APA STYLE) margins, spacing, etc.
c. BE SURE TO PROPERLY CITE PARAPHRASED INFORMATION AND
DIRECT QUOTES in the BODY OF THE PAPER.
3. Separate references page.
4. This paper requires a minimum of 5 references.
5. One reference must be your textbook and one reference must be a peer-
reviewed journal article.
6. The other three references may be books, peer-reviewed journal articles, and/or other
reputable sources.
7. PLEASE SEE THE LIBRARIAN/WRITING SUPPORT RESOURCES BELOW FOR A
FULL UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IS A “REPUTABLE SOURCE”.
8. Please be cautious when using online resources, as many are not reviewed for
accuracy, and are NOT “reputable sources”
9. One site you that you MAY NOT USE as a reference is Wikipedia; use of this
website will result in a deduction of a minimum of 5 points.
10. All books, articles, websites, and other references must be properly listed on the
reference page and cited within the body of your paper. Failure to list a citation on the
reference page or cite a reference within the body of your paper will result in a
deduction of a minimum of 2 points for each oversight.
11. Additionally, generally not citing where needed will result in reduction of a minimum of 5
points and a maximum of 10 depending on the severity of the oversight.
The paper should be in 12-point Times New Roman font, with standard 1-inch margins,
and formatted in formal APA style. Refer to the Publication Manual of the American
Psychological Association. regarding proper formatting for a literature search paper.

15 minutes late And finally… I WILL USE GPT ZEROhanwant to do my paper on Stanley Milgram’s study, often referred to as the Milgram Experiment, which is a classic in psychology. This study explored obedience to authority and has been widely discussed in both scholarly and popular media, making it an excellent c
Here are some steps to guide you if you choose to focus on Milgram’s study: i want to do my paper on milgrams study and i used chatgpt to use this format 
Find the Original Study: Look for Milgram’s original research article, titled “Behavioral Study of Obedience” published in 1963 in the Journal of Abnormal and Social Psychology. This will serve as your scholarly article.
Select a Popular Media Article: Find a recent article from a reputable newspaper, magazine, or online platform that discusses Milgram’s experiment. This will help you analyze how the study is presented to the general public versus the academic community.
Critical Analysis:
Compare how the results and implications of Milgram’s experiment are presented in both the scholarly article and the popular media article.
Evaluate the accuracy of the popular media report: Does it correctly represent the methods, results, and ethical considerations of Milgram’s study?
Discuss whether the media report simplifies complex issues, omits important information, or sensationalizes the findings to attract a broader audience.
Writing the Paper:
Introduction: Introduce Milgram’s study, its historical context, and its relevance today.
Main Body: Use at least three sections to critically analyze the portrayal of the study in the popular media compared to the scholarly article.
Conclusion: Summarize your findings and suggest ways to improve public understanding of psychological research based on your analysis.
References: Ensure you include references from both the original study and the popular article, along with other academic sources that discuss the experiment’s impact and ethical considerations.
i need five sources, and i need you to attach the orginal source and popular source seperately please as i need to turn those in seperately.
one of the sources needs to be the book which is Pomerantz, A. (2023). Clinical Psychology: Science, Practice and Culture (6th Ed).
Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage. ISBN-13: 978-1071851951; ISBN-10: 1071851950
the teacher will also be using gpt zero 

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.

the serial killer that I chose is Jeffrey Dahmer and the book that needs to be counted as a reference is attached below. I know that I am only paying for 6 pages so if you can do everything in 6 pages I can worry about doing the reflection. just let me know and I appreciate you regardless. please make sure there are 6 references at least 3 need to be peer reviewed articles, the book counts as one as well. include in text citations, and these
are also some things my professor wants us to include: Reflection is not part of the 6-7 pages
Only part that should be in first person is the reflection Paper should have 6 sources book is one source and should include in text citations No late papers at all
APA style Have an orginal title Small introductory paragraph 4-7 sentences Briefly introduce the serial killer The serial killer portrayed in this paper is Jeff dahmer and the (stuff that he did) No works cited page, a reference page
Reference at the end of every sentence Criminal activity 2 pages Engagement with victims Signature marks or souvenirs How were they caught and how did they act? Almost every sentence should be cited Analysis is bulk of paper 3-4 pages One theory and one concept Why do you think it happened and why do you think they were like that
Category number of evil scale Assign them a number and why for evil scale Don’t number references
PURPOSE Aggression and violence are complex social problems that are best understood using multidisciplinary approaches. Drawing from research and theoretical frameworks covered in this course, you will apply what you have learned and explore one of the most bizarre and intriguing phenomena in human behavior, the serial killer. Examining the lives of serial killers offers a useful learning tool because their behavior is unquestionably aggressive and often depicts the most extreme cases of violence. The purpose of this research paper is to facilitate making connections between theory, research, and the real-world implications triggered by such violent behavior.
OBJECTIVES The main object of this assignment is to research a serial killer of your choice and explain his or her actions with the theories and concepts discussed throughout this course. After completing this research paper, you will be able to recognize the key theories and concepts discussed in chapters 2 and 4 of your book. Additionally, you will have expanded your knowledge of the physiology and psychology of human aggression and violence.
TASKS 1. Content: The content of your paper must address the three parts discussed below. You need to incorporate theories, concepts, and research discussed throughout this course and/or from your book.
Part 1: Biographical Information – What was the individual’s life like? Upbringing? Criminal behavior? What was his/her childhood like? Childhood behavioral problems? Schooling? Did he/she marry? Have any children? Sexual orientation? Social behavior? (1 page)
Part 2: Criminal Activity – What were the nature of the crimes? How many victims? Any specific victim characteristics? Did the killer take souvenirs and/or leave a signature? What is their “modus operandi” (method of doing something)? Time span for the crimes? What was his/her behavior when caught? What was he/she charged with and sentenced to? Is he/she still alive? (1 page)
Part 3: Analysis/Characterizing the Serial Killer – Attempt to analyze the killer’s behavior from any of the approaches discussed in Alvarez and Bachman (your textbook) and additional sources. Give specific examples of how the individual’s behavior connects with at least one theory and one concept discussed in class. Finally, based on the Gradations of Evil Scale, note which category number is most appropriate and include your reasons. (3-4 pages)
2. Reflection: You are required to complete a one-page reflection paper explaining why you chose this specific killer. This reflection is intended to be your viewpoint, as such, no references are needed. You may wish to consider the ways your culture, social setting, ethnicity, sex, or upbringing has affected your beliefs about serial killers. You also may reflect on any assumptions you may have had prior to your research and if so, how your background norms and beliefs have influenced these assumptions.
3. References: A minimum of 6 references should be used, with at least 3 sources being from peer-reviewed journals. Note the following:
You must count your book as a reference.
Unacceptable sources of information: Wikipedia, Murderpedia, and/or opinion blogs. These tend to be biased and unreliable. Always look for the original source of information.
References need to be typed in current APA format. This includes all in-text citations.
SPECIFICATIONS Five to six pages of content and a one-page reflection, for a total of 6-7 pages. NO MORE THAN 7 WRITTEN PAGES WILL BE CONSIDERED.
Paper must be double-spaced.
The Content of your paper should not be written in first person (i.e., avoid using “I,” “we,” or “us”). The Reflection portion is the only place to use 1st person since you are giving YOUR point of view.
Paper and references are to be written in APA format, 7th edition.
NO running head is required.
In-text citations MUST be cited in APA format. If the words written on your paper are not your own, you must cite the original source of information.
All citations must have a date of print.
Plagiarism
If the words written in your paper are not your own, you need to cite the original source of information. This can be flagged as plagiarized, and you will receive a zero.
Before officially submitting your research paper, check your similarity score on Turn It In. If your paper is flagged over 40%, you will automatically receive a ZERO.
Paper must be submitted through Canvas by 11:59pm on the due date. I suggest submitting earlier to avoid a “submission error” on Canvas.
Absolutely NO LATE PAPERS will be accepted. If you could not upload the paper on Canvas or if you do not submit the paper in the required format, I will not accept it late. You will get a zero.
PAPER FORMAT Title Page: Include a title, your name, class, and date. All centered.

Refer to the instructor announcements for further instruction. Create a brochure on conception and prenatal development. Select one of the provided scenarios and then address the following factors below:
Scenario 1: A couple is expecting a baby and the pregnancy was not planned. They are meeting with various groups and individuals (i.e., medical doctor, Planned Parenthood, pastor, adoptive parents) to help them make an informed decision about the pregnancy. The couple is given an educational brochure from the agency or individual they met with to help support their decision.
Scenario 2: A young single female was assaulted and is pregnant. She is scared, angry, and unsure of what to do with her unplanned pregnancy. She is meeting with various groups and individuals (i.e., medical doctor, Planned Parenthood, pastor, adoptive parents) to help her make an informed decision about the pregnancy. She is given an educational brochure from the agency or individual she met with to help support her decision.
Address the questions below within the brochure.
Important Factors: What can the couple or single female expect during the pregnancy both during conception and prenatal period of development? What are some important factors that the parents should take into consideration during this period (e.g., environmental influences, diet, medications, drugs)?
Support Systems: Provide information about the individual or agency the couple or single female met with (e.g., Planned Parenthood). Include local contact information and a brief description of the agency or individual support they received (i.e., describe what the agency support includes).
Options and Resources: What counsel was the couple or single female provided? Outline all options the couple or single female were given and offer a brief description of each. Provide statistics for the couple or single female to help them decide. Provide additional resources for the couple or single female (e.g., support groups, clinics) should they need to follow up with a specific agency or doctor.
Christian Worldview: Blend into the discussion what the Christian worldview lens looks like for an unplanned pregnancy. What advice would the couple be given if they believe in the Christian worldview? This can be in the form of a quote or scripture passage that is meaningful and applicable to the topic.
A minimum of two to three scholarly sources are required (the textbook may count as one of these). When using credible websites, please limit use to .org, .edu, .mil, or .gov. Websites may be used for secondary supportive sources only. They may not be used as primary sources of information to support this assignment.

I recently turned in a literature review that is part of a research proposal and made a 0/30. I am going to attach the orginal paper that I scored a 0/30, and the one with the annoted revision comments from my professor and my version of a revision. (I tried to change the direction on if it but I’m still not sure if it is right). But, basically the whole thing needed to be done over because my professor said it was more like a research paper and not a literature review. In addition to this, I also need my discussion board post completed. It is only the Application for Institutional Review Board. The whole top section about myself & my professor can be left blank. I will link a youtube video that my professor provided step-by-step for this here: https://youtu.be/CxzpZNu0D3Y. I have also attached the instructions for this discussion board. Only pages 2,3,&4 should be completed by you. The rest I can plug in. Thank you.

Overview and Purpose of the Final Paper
For this final paper, you will write two stories to
demonstrate your understanding of developmental trajectories, risk and
protective factors, as well as some other key elements from the course. 
Accurate risk factors and a cohesive, sensible and logical developmental trajectory are the core elements of this paper. 
Expectations – Story 1
First, pick a superhero/comic villain from the list below. Second,
write their story from the time of their birth, through childhood,
adolescence, and into adulthood, ultimately arriving at their inevitable
villainous end (e.g. hatred and contempt for society, morality, etc).
As you write their story, you need to integrate your knowledge of
developmental and social learning theory, showing the reader the various
risk factors that led them closer to a life of crime, as well as pointing out any protective factors.
In sum, you want to illustrate their developmental trajectory
using the knowledge gained in this course, but do so by telling a
story. Use what you know from popular movies, books, comics, etc. to
explain how your villain became the way they did using research-backed
knowledge from this course and your own investigations. 
I am limiting your choice of villains to
those below because it will be much easier since much is written about
their history. Although you will not be graded on ‘factual accuracy’ of
the villain’s history, it will be easier to write if you have known
information. If you are not familiar with any of these villains, you can
do a quick online search to learn more; there is a lot of information
readily available. 
That being said, you will have to create some of the story for each villain from your own imagination/creativity.
For example, no comic/movie may have addressed your villain’s
upbringing, so you may have to invent a story about being born and
raised in a certain kind of family, environment, and situation that,
based on your knowledge of criminological theory, increased their risk
of turning out like they did.   
This is NOT an Academic Paper – Don’t
say things like, “According to XYZ theory, some risk factors are 1, 2, 3
and 4. Mr. Villain has risk factors 3 and 4.” Instead,  just write a story, but seamlessly integrate those risk factors into the narrative.
A Brief Example: 
“Growing up, Mr. Villain was surrounded by gangs and lived in a
violent neighborhood; gunshots were common and Mr. Villain often saw
bloodstains on the sidewalk. Once, when walking to school, he saw the
body of man who had been killed in a gang fight the night before. By the
time he reached age, 14, he had fully integrated into the gang and
dropped out of school, learning to carry to his own gun and extort money
from local businesses to subsidize the gang.” 
Notice how this example is just a story,
but it includes various factors that put Mr. Villain at higher risk for
becoming a criminal. This is the sort of knowledge and integration I’ll
be looking for in your stories. You will not do well if you try to turn this into an academic paper. The goal, again, is to just tell a story using accurate knowledge from this course built into it. 
Remember: Accurate
risk factors and a cohesive, sensible and logical developmental
trajectory are the core elements of this paper, but you have the ability
to be creative with the background story of your selected villain. 
Expectations – Story 2
For the second half of your paper, you will retell the same story of your villain, but this time with a different developmental trajectory and ending.
Assume your villain never became the
person we know them to be, but ended up a normal citizen or even the
hero of the story. As you retell the story, again, talk about the risk
factors that were present and how they were mitigated. Talk about the
protective factors that led them down a healthy, positive developmental
path toward productivity, health, morality, ethics, etc. Use your
knowledge of who becomes a criminal and who does not and integrate that
knowledge into your retelling. 
Have fun but be realistic! No
one has the perfect story with no risk factors and all protective
factors. Use your knowledge of what we’ve discussed all semester and
create an accurate portrayal of someone who had some problems, but there
were other circumstances that led them another way.
Formatting and Page Length
7-10 pages (3-5 pages per story; no more than a max of 10 pages,
please) 12 point font, 1-inch margins, double spaced. Since there is no
research requirement, no title page, no running head, no bibliography,
no APA formatting or citations are necessary. 
This is not a research paper, so you are not required to do the typical “find x many sources” and do citations. It is intended to read like a story – but an accurately informed one that uses the information we’ve covered throughout this course. 
Grading for the Final
Your grade will be very largely based on your accurate use of
developmental trajectories, social learning theory, risk and protective
factors as well as the synthesis of these important concepts. I
want to see that you can fluidly apply the knowledge you have gained to
a ‘real’ situation; show me that you know how these risk/protective
factors would manifest in an actual life. 
You will also be graded, to a slightly
lesser extent, on the use of a creative, narrative format. Once again,
the goal is writing a story, not listing theories, risk factors,
authors, etc. The story is the medium through which you will demonstrate
your knowledge and understanding of these concepts.  View the rubric on
this page for a detailed list of the grading criteria for this paper.
