Freudian Theory Sigmund Freud, although one of the best-known personality theorists, is probably also one of the most controversial in the field of psychology. When starting to consider theories of personality, one must begin with a look at Sigmund Freud, as he was one of the first theorists to develop a psychoanalytical theory that was based on real-life patients and not studies conducted in a lab. Even if you do not agree with his theories, he is the starting point from which many other theorists have begun. Specifically, he was concerned with the development of the personality and how it created the neuroses he saw in many of his patients. Research Freud’s theories using your textbook, the Internet, and the Argosy University online library resources.

One of the common uses for correlation is to evaluate the reliability or validity of a psychological or educational test. For example, a valid test should be strongly related to some criterion measure that is logically related to the construct behind the test. For example, the SAT is used as one measure in college admissions because it is moderately correlated with grade point averages. (Only moderately, though, so the SAT should not be used as the sole entrance requirement).

Assignment 1: Using the First Person in Research Writing The use of personal pronouns (I, my, or we) in scholarly writing is an area of great contention in academia. Some say that the use of personal pronouns is a way of asserting your writer’s voice. However, others will discount the use of personal pronouns as inappropriate. Your course textbook (Ridley, 2008) suggests that one way to assert your writer’s voice is to use personal pronouns in your scholarly writings. Additionally, the APA Style Manual recommends using “I” rather than the third person. However, the use of personal pronouns is often discouraged in academic writings. In this assignment, you will explore the pros and cons of using personal pronouns in research writing. Tasks: On the basis of the course readings and the literature that you have reviewed for this course, in a minimum of 200 words, post your responses to the following: Submission Details:

Validity: The Test Doth Purport Too Much, Methinks Resources Attributes and Evaluation of Discussion Contributions. Professional Communications and Writing Guide. In your unit studies, you read about two approaches or models of validity—trinitarian and unitary. In some ways, these two models are competing views of gathering evidence for a test’s validity. In other ways, the two approaches have an overlap of elements. For this discussion: Compare and contrast these two models in terms of how they conceptualize validity. Identify at least one advantage and disadvantage of each model. Decide which model appears to be the most valid for determining validity of a test. Explain your decision in terms of the implications for decision making about a test’s validity. Be sure to include citations from Guion’s 1980 article, “On Trinitarian Doctrines of Validity,” and Messick’s 1995 article, “Validity of Psychological Assessment: Validation of Inferences From Persons’ Responses and Performances As Scientific Inquiry Into Score Meaning.”

Within this chapter, you are introduced to the “Big Five” Personality Traits. I want you to explore your personality traits in the context of employment. First, consider each of the five traits of personality and try to identify the traits you see in yourselves. In a narrative and paragraph form, discuss and answer these questions: *Considering your view of personality, what types of jobs or careers do you think you would best fit into? Why? *Have you been in jobs in which you had co-workers you felt were in the wrong position? How did you come to this conclusion? *If you were an employer, what would you do with an employee who seemed inappropriately placed? *Do you think there are things an employer could do to influence a person’s behavior, regardless of the employee’s personality? *Do you think there are things an employer could do to influence the big Five traits of an employee?

The written research proposal will be created based on a narrowly defined aspect of the topic selected in Week One. A research proposal is a detailed plan for a specific study to be conducted at a future time. It is the document which potential researchers typically submit to an institutional review board (IRB) for ethical review and approval, and/or to funding agencies to secure financial support for a research effort. Because it is a plan for research which has not yet been conducted, the Methods section should be written in the future tense and should not contain any hypothetical results. The paper must address all of the components required in the Methods section of a research proposal. The following actions must be completed. The following headings for the required sections and subsections must appear in the paper. In accordance with APA style, all references listed must be cited in the text of the paper.

Write the clinical impression in the DSM-5 format: XXX.xx (Yyy.yy) Primary Diagnoses (list in order of salience). (DSM-5 Code is first, as in XXX.xx, and ICD-10 codes next, in parentheses.) OTHER FACTORS: Use the V and Z codes, or simply appropriate descriptors to psychosocial and contextual factors of importance to the diagnostic case. These replace the DSM-IV-TR Axis IV & V used to address these concerns. Explain any recommendations for interventions, treatment, and/or disposition. Address the specific questions that were asked in the instructions for this assignment. Here is a sample assignment question and an appropriate brief response: To diagnose this case accurately, I would also need to review any pertinent medical records. I would want to interview this client’s mother, with whom he lives, to corroborate the clinical interview data supplied by the client, and to learn more about his developmental history.

a Work Product in which you will design a set of learning experiences that could be implemented as part of an effective curriculum for preschool children (ages 3–4). Ideally, curriculum planning is a collaborative process. For this Work Product, you will interview a teacher to learn more about his or her curricular goals and find out how you can collaborate with one another to achieve those goals. You will also observe in the teacher’s classroom in order to learn more about the children in the setting. If you are currently working as an early childhood teacher, collaborate with a colleague in your setting to complete this Assessment. You will collaborate with a colleague or early childhood teacher to design three learning experiences that are appropriate for the children in the preschool classroom that you observed. (Implementation is not required, but it is important that you have a real setting in mind as you plan.)

Choose of the options below to research and explore: Although psychological disorders are universal, there are cultural, ethnic, and socioeconomic influences related to diagnosis, assessment, and treatment. Using research from academic journal articles, what ethnic, cultural, and/or socioeconomic factors may prevent individuals from minority and immigrant groups from seeking and receiving accurate treatment and diagnosis for mental disorders? Based upon your research, how may these disparities be addressed? Are there differences in what is considered “abnormal” behavior dependent upon cultural factors? Review the different perspectives on causal factors under each of the five main current paradigms in psychopathology as presented in Chapter 2: Genetic, Neuroscience, Cognitive-Behavioral, Sociocultural, and Diathesis-Stress Model. Choose of the disorders listed below. Then, choose of the paradigms listed above to compare and contrast how an individual may develop the disorder. Explain which research-based etiology you find to be the most convincing in identifying the likely elements of causation and why.

Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, be certain to have read all the required resources for this week. In recent years, the psychology profession has been greatly influenced by various forms of technology. The prevalence of psychology professionals using technology to market themselves and engage, socialize, and interact with others has created new opportunities and challenges. This is particularly true with regard to potential interactions with clients via these technologies. Given the exponential growth with which these technological advancements are permeating our world, we expect to see the proliferation of new issues, challenges, and opportunities within the realms of psychological research and practice. In your initial post: What are the potential responsibilities of the psychology professionals as providers of care with regard to the use of these technologies? Does the increase in ease, convenience, and experience satisfaction for the parties involved outweigh any potential negative outcomes? Purchase the answer to view it

After a potential predictor of employee performance is identified, it is necessary to observe its relationship with one or more criterion measure(s) of work related behaviors and/or performance. The criterion measures selected for employee performance predictors usually align with job-related tasks, behaviors, and outcomes. Depending on the specificity of the criterion, an in-depth analysis of the job may or may not be needed. How relevant are organizational factors such as turnover and absenteeism? How relevant is an employee’s personality or credit history? The criterion should dictate what you are measuring. Criterion measures should be selected based on job relevance, the relationship with chosen employee performance predictors, stability, and alignment with organizational outcomes (Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology, Inc., 2003). For this Discussion, select two employee performance predictors described in Learning Resources and current literature. Consider how each may or may not be effective in predicting sales performance.
