After reading the assigned articles by Smith et al., (2019) and Matise et al., (2018), you will complete a self-reflective video blog evaluating the interaction between your personal or spiritual beliefs and the 6 ethical (moral) principles as depicted in the ACA Code of Ethics (Autonomy, beneficence, justice, nonmaleficence, fidelity, veracity). Step 1: The video blog should be 5-6 minutes in length and include four scholarly references written in APA format (no title page or abstract needed). The 4 required references are: Smith et al. (2019), Matise et al. (2018), ASCA Ethical Standards, and ACA Code of Ethics. This is a self-reflective video blog and should be recorded in first person. You are expected to reflect on your process during this course and provide insight on your process. While this is a personal and reflective assignment, it is a formal submission. Therefore, please make sure that your style remains professional, and your video is recorded in a professional setting.
Step 2: In your video, address the following points in order:
1. In your opening statement, state in one sentence “I have read the Smith et al., (2019) and Matise et al., (2018), articles in their entirety.” 2. Identify one ethical (moral) principle or standard from the ASCA Ethical Standards or ACA Code of Ethics that is in harmony with your personal and/or spiritual beliefs. Briefly state what the harmony between the principle or standard and your personal/spiritual beliefs look like. Do not choose an obvious principle or standard or one that was already in harmony prior to taking this course. You must choose a principle or standard that was not in harmony until you progressed in this course or after you read the required articles.
3. Next, briefly explain how the principle or standard and your personal/spiritual beliefs came into harmony. Describe what this process was like for you. What challenges or conflicts did you face when trying to integrate or reconcile the principle or standard and your personal/spiritual beliefs? How did the required articles challenge your thinking?Do not complete videoplease write in a tensewhere I can explain it in the video

This research paper should give an overview of the ethical standard “Therapy” and should relate that standard to notable cases in the field. The research paper must:
– Include a descriiptive outline of all components of the ethical standard. Explain the need for this particular standard citing both historical and present-day issues. Use examples.
– Relate the standard to an applied setting. Use examples.
– Use previous psychological literature in the form of case studies and research in this paper. The use of scholarly academic sources is expected. N.B. Please do NOT use lay sources such as simplypsychology.com and Wikipedia. Papers should be between 3,000 and 3,500 words in length – note that this means that you need to include a great deal of information in a relatively short word count. Be parsimonious and precise in your writing. The assignment must be in APA format. All references (at least 12 sources) must be cited both in-text and in a reference list.

Please read this article and answer one of the two questions below in an original post, 1page.
Utilize 2 sources and add a reference list below your response.
1. Do addiction and substance abuse reduce or negate the possibility of exercising free will? Discuss using specific examples wherever applicable.
2. Addiction and substance abuse impact more people than just the addicts and abusers. Some researchers suggest that addicts do not possess full autonomy over decision making. Should the state be allowed to decide to give addicts in prison naltrexone with or without their consent? Would a similar process be possible whereby a family decides this for an addict who is not inprison?
3. Is there another issue or concern not being raised here?

An analysis of how cognitive abilities develop and change throughout adulthood. Your analysis should include the following:
<
<
1. Identify a specific area of cognitive development.
<
2. Describe how this cognitive ability is typically measured in research and practice.
<
3. Describe how this ability changes in each stage of adulthood (e.g., emerging, early, middle, and late), and during which stage the most change occurs.
<
4. Provide an example of the professional experience of an individual that demonstrates a higher or lower than average capability of your chosen cognitive ability.
<
5. How does this person’s ability support the idea that this area of cognitive ability changes throughout adult development?

In your journal this week you will be discussing your own experiences with job stress. You may also discuss the stress you have experienced from school-related work. Please address the following in your entry:
<
<
What are some of the stressors you experience at work?
<
How do these stressors relate to the job stressors discussed in the text and lecture? For example, are the stressors you experience related to role ambiguity or conflict, quantitative or qualitative work overload, etc.?
<
How did you resolve these stressors? Do you think these stressors caused short-term or long-term strain (tip: look at the five-step model of the job stress process on p. 285)?
<
What steps could organizations take to prevent the stress process from occurring?
<
How can employees better deal with strains (e.g., stress management techniques)?

For this assignment, research two older, but highly respected research-based articles. The articles should be peer-reviewed and scholarly.
Read through them carefully and write a summary of each article. Write about the articles in everyday language, explaining the theory each was testing, the method used, the most important results, and the main points in the discussion. Be very careful not to plagiarize at this stage (please reread the course resources on academic integrity (plagiarism) and the APA guide on paraphrasing).
Write 500-600-words for each summary (for a total of 1,000-1,200-words), following this organizational structure:
A description of the article’s purpose and main hypotheses
A clear statement of the study’s design: Experimental or correlational? What were the main IVs or PVs? What was the main DV? Who participated?
A methods paragraph in which you mention each key variable in turn, followed by how it was operationalized. (e.g., “The study measured the variable self-compassion using a self-report questionnaire developed by Neff; it had 25 items that were rated on 5-point scales.”)
A paragraph in which you describe the main results. If they used regression, you must describe the main relationship as well as what it was controlling for (e.g., “Self-compassion predicted well-being, even when controlling for self-esteem and emotionality”). If it was a factorial design, describe the main effects and interactions.
A short paragraph about the authors’ conclusions.
Turn in one document with both summaries; make sure to distinguish which summary belongs to which article with appropriate APA headings.

Please read the case study and fill out the worksheet, either by typing into the document or by typing the answers into a separate document
