This week, you will continue to populate the Psychology Theories Template and add Systems and Biopsychosocial Theories to your chart. As you continue populating your template, consider the following:
Identify who or what contributed to the development of the theory. Were there key researchers or seminal research that led to the theory?
Record whether the theory emphasizes nature (biology), nurture (environment), or both.
List the primary characteristics or features of the theory (its key tenets and concepts). Be sure to include if a particular period of life is emphasized.
List the noteworthy strengths and weaknesses of the theory.
(Optional) Include any notes that you find helpful in understanding and applying the theory, such as potential contemporary themes or fields of research in which the theory could be applied.

Great start to the discussion. What might be an example of how classical and operant work together? Perhaps even in school linking back to the area you mentioned.

1. What is one (1) misconception or aspect of adult development/aging that has been corrected for you during the course?

3. In what way has the class changed you?

Write a short answer response of about 1-2 paragraphs (minimum 150 words) about it.

There’s money out there. How does a nonprofit organization tap into it?
An organization can apply for grants from foundations, government agencies, or private companies. Such applications typically involve a proposed budget and metrics showing the value of the programs and may require follow-up reporting to the donor for the duration of the grant period.
This is just one option for an organization’s funding; there are other, less traditional methods. Consider the Ice Bucket Challenge of 2014. The challenge went viral on social media as nominated participants were filmed having a bucket of ice water poured over their heads. It raised awareness of ALS/Lou Gehrig’s Disease while at the same time leading to $100 million in donations for the ALS Association. Creativity, then, can lead to major rewards. But not every funding method will be right for every organization.

Consider how being part of a crowd or group changes your behavior. How can deindividuation change people’s behavior? Could deindividuation lead to positive outcomes? What is a way to encourage members of a crowd to behave in line with their “normal” values?

How have psychological contributions to treating physical disorders changed the psychologist’s role in interdisciplinary settings? What are the implications for the role of psychologists in the future?

You will be attending an upcoming psychological conference on psychology and mass media. While packing for the conference, you are struck by a particular advertisement you see on television. You have seen this same product advertised in magazines, on the radio, on billboards, and on the Internet. This commercial has you thinking more about the interplay between psychology and mass media. You decide to analyze the advertising campaign and use it as an example during the conference.
Using a psychosocial perspective and media research, you will analyze a product campaign to fully demonstrate your understanding of the effects and impacts of propaganda, social influence, persuasion, and attitude changes on society. You will also examine how your own behaviors are influenced by popular media and mass communication.
Select a company that is currently promoting one of its products and has an extensive advertising campaign running at this time.
What product did you select, and why? What were your initial reactions to the product advertising campaign under analysis?

Did the campaign change your attitude? If so, how?
Did the campaign change your behavior? If so, what did you do differently?

Use the following sociopsychological approaches to describe your understanding of persuasion and propaganda used in the campaign:

Authority: Did the campaign use an authoritative figure to persuade you?
Reciprocity: Did the campaign offer something in reciprocation?
Commitment or Consistency: Do you feel a sense of commitment or need for consistency because of the campaign?
Social Proof: Do you feel a sense of social approval because of the campaign?
Likeability: Do you like the people in the campaign?
Scarcity: Does the campaign imply a scarcity of the product?

Include any media research and available data that are specifically related to your product and the advertising campaign.
