Psychology Child Growth & Development

Students will write a minimum of a 600-word to identify major developmental milestones of children during the infancy stage in the areas of physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional development and to differentiate typical from atypical development.

Part 1:

Developmental Milestones according to Piaget:

Piaget listed six substages of sensorimotor development during the infancy stage (Reflexes, Primary Circular Reactions, Secondary Circular Reactions, Coordination of Reactions, Tertiary Circular Reactions, and Early Representational Thought). These substages occur during the first two years of life. Name and define in your own words, the six substages of the sensorimotor development, and provide an example of physical development that children achieve during each substage.

Psychology Child Growth & Development

Part 2:

Watch the following YouTube videos. In which ways do they connect with what you have learned during Module 5, 6 and 7 in physical, cognitive and socio-emotional development? try to be as descriptive as possible. When older children are present in the videos, just focus on the infant and their caregiver(s). You must observe and provide information from all three videos. How do these videos reflect infant physical, socxio-emotional and cognitive development?

Observations help us to identify signs of typical and atypical development. Autism is hard to identify during the infancy stage, but children may give us some signs when their development may not be as expected. Explain three signs of atypical development that could lead to autism (that you may keep in mind, when observing infants development).

Psychology Assignment – Psychiatric Diagnosis

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Psychology Assignment – Psychiatric Diagnosis

For this assignment, students will investigate and propose a psychiatric diagnosis based on the case study from the Gorenstein and Comer (2022) textbook Case Studies in Abnormal Psychology, chosen in the Week One “Initial Call” discussion or the Week Two “Initial Assessment” discussion. This paper will include an in-depth overview of the disorder(s) within the diagnosis, treatment options for the diagnosis, and a sound rationale that explains why this diagnosis was made. Note that the diagnosis may include more than one psychiatric disorder. The paper must present a thorough overview of each disorder within the diagnosis. Assume the audience has no prior knowledge of the disorder(s) within the diagnosis, and provide relevant and easy to understand explanations of each for the readers. When writing the paper, it is critical to convey all the necessary information in a straightforward manner using non-technical language. (Reference the Professional Voice and Writing (https://content.bridgepointeducation.com/curriculum/file/742ac0dfff32-43bf-a05f805e3913cbc1/1/Ashford%20Writing%20Center%20Professional%20Writing%20Infographic.pdf) resource provided by the Writing Center for assistance.)

Support the analysis with at least five peer-reviewed sources published within the last ten years in addition to the course text.

Psychology Assignment – Psychiatric Diagnosis

The Psychiatric Diagnosis topical paper must include the following:

Explain psychological concepts in the patient’s presentation using professional terminology. Identify symptoms and behaviors exhibited by the patient in the chosen case study. Match the identified symptoms to potential disorders in the DSM-5-TR diagnostic manual

Propose a diagnosis based on the patient’s symptoms and the criteria listed for the disorder(s) in the DSM-5-TR diagnostic manual. Analyze and explain how the patient meets criteria for the disorder(s) according to the patient’s symptoms and the criteria outlined in the DSM-5-TR diagnostic manual. Justify the use of the chosen DSM-5-TR diagnostic manual (i.e., What evidence supports the validity of this manual? What are limitations of this manual?). Summarize general views of the diagnosis from at least three theoretical orientations (g., cognitive, behavioral, humanistic, biological, sociocultural, evolutionary, psychoanalytic, integrative, etc.). NOTE: Be clear that you are writing about theoretical orientations and using the theoretical orientations to explain the diagnosis. Do not use the theoretical orientations to discuss any therapy or treatment approaches. Your application of the theoretical orientations should answer the question: What causes this diagnosis? For example, “Based on the cognitive perspective, what causes this diagnosis?” “Based on the humanisitic perspective, what causes this diagnosis?” Etc. In addition, you may include a historical perspective on the diagnosis, but this is not required.

Psychology Assignment – Psychiatric Diagnosis

Also note that here you are summarizing views of the overall diagnosis, not specific individual symptoms. Include a discussion on comorbidity if the diagnosis includes more than one disorder. Evaluate symptoms within the context of an appropriate theoretical orientation for this diagnosis (e.g., cognitive, behavioral, humanistic, biological, sociocultural, evolutionary, psychoanalytic, integrative, etc.). NOTE: Here you are evaluating specific symptoms, not the overall diagnosis. Use at least two peer-reviewed articles to assess the validity of this diagnosis, and describe which demographics are at a higher risk of developing the disorder or receiving the diagnosis based on age, gender, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, and ethnicity. Provide a brief evaluation of the scientific merit of these peer-reviewed sources in the validity assessment. Summarize the risk factors (i.e., biological, psychological, environmental, and/or social) for the diagnosis. If one of the categories is not relevant, address this within the summary. Compare evidence-based and non-evidence-based treatment options for the diagnosis. Evaluate well-established treatments for the diagnosis, and describe the likelihood of success or possible outcomes for each treatment. Create an annotated bibliography of five peer-reviewed references published within the last ten years to inform the diagnosis and treatment recommendation.

Psychology Assignment – Psychiatric Diagnosis

The Psychiatric Diagnosis

Must be 8 to 15 double-spaced pages in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the UAGC Writing Center (http://writingcenter.uagc.edu/). Must use at least five peer-reviewed sources published within the last 10 years in addition to the course text. Must include a separate annotated bibliography page. Must document all sources in APA style as outlined in the Writing Center. Must include a separate references page that is formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Writing Center.

Stress and Social Support

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Stress and Social Support

Context: Human beings are social creatures. We are parts of families and communities. Barlow´s early studies on monkeys demonstrated that primates prefer a clothed wire mother. There is now a strong body of literature suggesting that social support is key to mental and physical health. A social support network is made up of family members, friends, colleagues, and other peers. Critical to help you through the stress of tough times, whether you’ve had a uniquely bad day or a year filled with loss or chronic illness, social support is an essential component to healthy coping. A social support network is something you can develop when you’re not under stress, providing the comfort of knowing that your friends will be there for you if you need them. Some of the most important functions of social support are a sense of belonging, increased sense of self-worth, and feelings of security.

Stress and Social Support

You will also be reading about medical miracles. Take time to do research on a case of a medical miracle. Summarize the case in 2 pages and then examine the role of social support and/or faith in this case. In one more page summarize how these factors (social and/or faith) impacted the case. APA style.

The Opposite of Hate – Sally Kohns

By AssignmentHelp Blog

The Opposite of Hate – Sally Kohns

Our next writing assignment will tie into an idea or theme drawn from either Chapter 2 (How We Hate: The Former Terrorist), Chapter 3 (Hating is Belonging: The Ex-White Supremacist), or both chapters. You will shape your writing for an academic rhetorical situation, with an academic audience. You may either A. inform an academic audience about scholarly research on your topic, OR B. research a controversy on your topic, and use scholarly research to explore multiple sides of the issue, ultimately arguing in support of your own position in this controversy. Some possible topics to get you started: • an exploration of our discussion topic from Chapter 2, Kohn’s statement that “[h]aving reasons to hate doesn’t make hate reasonable” (70).

• Fromm’s “rational, reactive” versus “character-conditioned” hate

• the Palestinian/Israeli conflict itself, or perhaps a subtopic such as examining the legality and/or ethics of Israeli settlements in occupied territories or the history behind the establishment of the state of Israel.

The Opposite of Hate – Sally Kohns

• an in-depth analysis of Sherif’s Robbers Cave study (or any other research project that Kohn describes in Chapters 2 and/or 3), its implications, and its influence on subsequent research

• connections-spaces and their role(s) in promoting healing and community

• a profile of a particular white supremacist or other extremist group, such as its history, current status, major figures, recent activities, etc.

• another topic of your choice from Chapter 2, Chapter 3, or both chapters!

Expectations – to get a passing grade on this SA, you should do the following:

• Write an informative research paper that provides an overview of some of the research, controversies, and/or issues about your chosen topic and takes an objective, neutral stance (it would be appropriate, however, to evaluate the merits of and/or critique a specific research study, if you wish). You are reporting out on a topic of interest, NOT establishing a claim or position!…OR

The Opposite of Hate – Sally Kohns

• Write an inquiry research paper that asks a central question about a topic, reviews a variety of perspectives and research with a balanced eye, and answers the question…OR

• Write an argumentative research paper that describes a controversy on which you take a position, and then examine arguments and evidence both in support of and in opposition to your position

• Write for an academic audienceLinks to an external site. that is NOT expert in your topic area. This means you’ll need to spend some time defining any terms that might be unfamiliar to your reader and summarizing or paraphrasing relevant parts of researchers’ work in your topic area to help your readers understand some of the breadth of research around your topic. 2 You will also need to use the linguistic conventions of academic writing!Links to an external site.

The Opposite of Hate – Sally Kohns

• Use AT LEAST two scholarly sources, as well as our book, Kohn’s The Opposite of Hate, which is a popular (rather than scholarly) text. You may use any materials that we’ve used for class (available in Canvas), but you MUST use at two scholarly sources from peer-reviewed journals, edited books aimed at an expert audience, or similar sources. I STRONGLY encourage you to use knowledgeable resources to help you with locating potential scholarly sources (Butte College librarians, CAS tutors, NetTutor, Ask-a-Librarian online service, etc.). You may also use popular sources, but your scholarly sources should provide at least half of the outside (not your own) material/ideas that you discuss in your SA.

• Include a Works Cited (MLA style) or References (APA style) or similar bibliographic page in the approved style system that you’re using.

• Be typed in 11- or 12-point font, 1.25-inch (standard) margins, double-spaced.

The Opposite of Hate – Sally Kohns

• Be a minimum of 1500 words as an indirect measure of depth and thoroughness (this should not include your bibliography in the count).

• Show that you have carefully read Chapter 2 and/or 3, and the other sources that you use, and that you have fully digested and considered the different viewpoints and evidence regarding the topic you’ve chosen.

• Shape your assignment into a formal research paper in MLA format (or other appropriate style, as discussed with me), and make textual decisions that use the conventions of the academic research paper genreLinks to an external site. effectively (objective tone; more formal word choice; complex patterns of grammar and sentence structure; straightforward, “writer-responsible” structure of text; MLA (or other style) formatting and citation of sources).

• Include well-chosen details, examples, and quotes from your sources to help you develop a detailed overview of your topic. Remember to cite page numbers in parenthesis and to give credit to the original source.
