I.Q. (intelligence quotient): In general, it is an assessment of your ability to think and reason. An IQ score is a standardized way of comparing this ability with the majority of people the same age as you. A score of 100 means that compared to these people in your general age group, you have basically an average intelligence. Most psychologists would say those scoring in a range of 95 to 105 are of normal intelligence or have an average IQ. The actual IQ score may vary plus or minus five points since it is very difficult to get an IQ score with complete accuracy.
Take an IQ test; there are many available for free online, such as The Free IQ Test (http://www.free-iqtest.net/). While you are taking it, try to notice the questions and how you are being tested.
For this assignment, write a 2-page double-spaced paper:
Share your results if you feel comfortable. Do you believe it truly reflects your intelligence? What are some things you can do to improve your intelligence? Why do you believe these things will improve your intelligence? Cite from your unit readings and/or outsides resources to support your statements about ways to improve your intelligence.
Many argue that IQ tests only measure analytical intelligence, but other researchers have argued that there is more than one type of intelligence. Sternberg proposed a triarchic theory of intelligence, and Gardner proposed 8 specific bits of intelligence. What do you think is the best model for measuring intelligence, and why? Cite from your unit readings and/or outside resources.
Your paper must include APA-formatted, in-text citations and an
APA-formatted reference page.

The purpose of this activity is to enable you to reflect on your learning: what new things have you discovered, what surprises have you encountered, what topics or ideas you have found particularly challenging, and how the course is going for you.
Complete the following:
In the first paragraph or two of your journal entry this week, what new things have you learned? What experiences have stood out for you? What tasks or content did you find difficult or frustrating? What activities did you find surprising or exciting?
In another one or two paragraphs, looking ahead and beyond the end of this course, what do you plan to take with you from this class? How has this course changed your outlook on the environment? How has it changed the way you live your life in relation to the environment?
Be sure to include reflections on your experiences with the Ecological Footprint Reduction Project.
Your entry will be evaluated in terms of whether or not it met the topic and length requirements, and whether it is clearly written.
Your entry should be a minimum of one typed page each (double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12-point font) and will be submitted through Waypoint.

This activity encourages you to explore different dimensions of culture and to practice comparing countries on these dimensions. The dimensions we will use are based on the work of Geert Hofstede. To keep things relatively simple, we will focus on four of these dimensions (Power Distance, Individualism – Collectivism, Masculinity – Femininity, Uncertainty Avoidance Index). Prior to completing this activity, you may want to revisit the portion of the lecture dedicated to these dimensions.
To complete this activity, visit the Hofstede Insights Links to an external site.website (click on the link). The Compare Countries option will allow you to compare countries on these dimensions. Limit yourself to 3 countries. We encourage you to pick countries you are familiar with or have an interest in. Type or select 3 countries to generate a figure with the score of each country on the various dimensions. Right click on the figure, take a screen shot, or use an application such as Snipping Tool to save the figure as an image file (preferably a .png or .jpeg file).
Describe the pattern of scores on the 4 dimensions listed below [4-5 sentences minimum for each dimension]. You can comment on the absolute values (the fact that they might be high or low in some cases). More importantly, comment on the differences and similarities between countries. Try to provide nuanced descriptions (i.e., do not overemphasize relatively small differences).
1-Insert the figure (.png or .jpeg file) here by clicking on “Images” icon.
2-Power Distance.This dimension expresses the degree to which the less powerful members of a society accept and expect that power is distributed unequally. The fundamental issue here is how a society handles inequalities among people. People in societies exhibiting a large degree of power distance accept a hierarchical order in which everybody has a place and which needs no further justification. In societies with low power distance, people strive to equalize the distribution of power and demand justification for inequalities of power.
3-Individualism (vs. Collectivism). The high side of this dimension, called individualism, can be defined as a preference for a loosely-knit social framework in which individuals are expected to take care of only themselves and their immediate families. Its opposite, collectivism, represents a preference for a tightly-knit framework in society in which individuals can expect their relatives or members of a particular in-group to look after them in exchange for unquestioning loyalty. A society’s position on this dimension is reflected in whether people’s self-image is defined in terms of “I” or “we.”
4-Masculinity (vs. Femininity).The masculinity side of this dimension represents a preference in society for achievement, heroism, assertiveness and material rewards for success. Society at large is more competitive. Its opposite, femininity, stands for a preference for cooperation, modesty, caring for the weak and quality of life. Society at large is more consensus-oriented. In the business context Masculinity versus Feminity is sometimes also related to as “tough versus tender” cultures.
5-Uncertainty Avoidance. The uncertainty avoidance dimension expresses the degree to which the members of a society feel uncomfortable with uncertainty and ambiguity. The fundamental issue here is how a society deals with the fact that the future can never be known: should we try to control the future or just let it happen? Countries exhibiting strong uncertainty avoidance maintain rigid codes of belief and behavior and are intolerant of unorthodox behavior and ideas. Weak uncertainty avoidance societies maintain a more relaxed attitude in which practice counts more than principles.

The Application paper asks you to demonstrate your knowledge of two theories and your insight into yourself.
In 2000 words, you are to apply Erikson’s Psychosocial theory and one other developmental theory described in our textbook to one developmental period of your own life. The second theorist is one of your choosing but one highlighted in our textbook. The period of your life must be one that you have experienced, not one in the future, and is best chosen from experiences you remember. Infancy doesn’t usually lend itself to good papers.
You are to use your own life experiences to demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses of each of the two theories and use the theories to lend new perspective to your experiences.
An excellent paper is a 50/50 balance between developmental experiences and theoretical explanation, but is fully integrated, not divided into a theory section and a life experience section. It introduces some theoretical material that goes beyond what is found in the textbook. It avoids repetition and packs as much content into the words allowed as is reasonable.
Three non-textbook references are required. The textbook can be used as a reference, and cited, but that would be a fourth reference. APA title page, in-text citations and reference page are required.
Textbook is Life-Span Development Santrock, John

Based on Module Four’s articles on gender dysphoria, write a short paper about the influence of acceptance, parenting styles, and how these can directly steer a child’s gender identity.
Moreover, think about society today and acceptance of varied gender roles compared to the 1950s. What is different today in parenting styles compared to the 1950s? Additionally, think about the criteria and changes made in the DSM in the most recent version (DSM-5) compared to earlier, outdated versions.
Also, consider and explore society’s influence on gender dysphoria in your argument. Is there a direct correlation to gender identity and society or not?

write a 1200 word research paper on concepts covered in this class. Your will engage in both academic and phenomenological research. You will interview 3 to 5 persons over the age of 69. You must interview at least one male and one female and you must interview persons from at least two ethnic groups. Each interview will include the following topics: (1)Physical health and well being, (2)Friends, Family, and Community, (3)Work and leisure, (4)Finances and lifestyles, and (5)Living environments. I suggest that you spend 45 minutes to 1 hour with each person you interview but you may spend as much time as you would like. Please show the highest level of respect for the person. Allow these individuals to tell their “stories”. You will gather information for your paper as each talks about his or her life journey and what life is like at this stage in life. You will integrate these interviews into your academic research and discuss how the issues and concepts covered in this class are related to each of these individuals. Provide a section of your paper on lessons learned from the interviews. This is where you will share the impact the interviews had on you emotionally and professionally.

Erik Erikson identified eight stages of psychosocial development. In this activity, you will map out your experience of two (2) stages.
<
Introduction: Provide a brief summary of Erikson’s theory of development, in your own words. What does he mean by “conflict” at each stage and how is a conflict successfully resolved according to Erikson’s theory?
<
Body: Write about each of the two stages that you have chosen. What did Erikson propose was the conflict at this stage? How did the conflict resolve? Reflect on your personal experience during this stage of development, about your experience with this conflict and how this was successfully resolved to advance you to the next stage of development.
<
Conclusion: Write about how you can use your knowledge of Erikson’s stages of psychosocial development either personally or professionally in the future.

Article Review – Social
Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is for you to show your understanding of peer-reviewed empirical articles through: 1) reviewing original research; 2) evaluating claims, methods, and conclusions; and 3) communicating your analysis in a way that translates scientific information into common terms for a general audience. In writing an article review, you gain skills in summarizing key points and findings, interpreting results, evaluating the validity of the methods used and results reported, and communicating information to an audience in ways they understand.
Step 1: Read the tips from the UMGC library on “Finding Experimental (Empirical) Research Articles.” Pay special attention to the sections on “Scholarly Research Articles” the “Structure of An Experimental Article”
Step 2: Using the UMGC Library electronic databases, find an article published in the last seven (7) years in an academic, peer-reviewed journal related to social psychology (e.g., Journal of Social Psychology). The article should describe, specifically, an experiment or empirical study by the researchers. This means that the researchers conducted a study that contains easily identifiable independent and dependent variables. (Do not select meta-analyses, summaries, editorials, or theoretical articles. It is your responsibility to make sure that the journal article you select is appropriate. If you are unsure about the relevance of your article, contact your instructor for approval.).
Step 3: Read the article starting with the Title and Abstract, which will give you a quick preview of the purpose and results of the article.
Step 4: Read the Introduction. Highlight the purpose of the article and the author’s hypothesis (e.g., what was studied, what did the author predicted, and why did they find the topic worthy of study). Pay attention to the context provided for the research (i.e., what research has been done previously in the field? what issue or problem is this study trying to address?).
Step 5: Read the Methods section. Note the descriiption of the participants and any tests, surveys, questionnaires, apparatus, or other materials that were used. Pay particular attention to the details involved in the experimental procedure. How were the variables manipulated or measured? Recall that the Independent Variable (IV) is the variable that is manipulated by the research (i.e., whether the room is hot or cold (if that is the variable of interest) or whether participants are given a placebo, shown any type of media or other stimuli, given talk therapy, or instructed to take medication (if that is the variable of interest). Remember that the Independent Variable is what was different about the experiences of the different groups. Recall also that the Dependent Variable (DV) is that variable that is measured, or, the outcome of the study.
Step 6: Read the Results. Try not to get intimidated by complex statistical analysis. Instead of focusing on the numbers, focus on the short descriiptions that accompany the findings explaining what the researchers found (i.e., Did the researchers find evidence that supports their hypothesis?)
Step 7: Read the Discussion. Pay special attention here to what the authors say about the importance of their findings or the lack of findings. Think about other things you could do to look at this issue.
Step 8: Prepare a 1-2 page summary of the article fully paraphrased in your own words and your own writing style and structure. Changing a few words from the original is not fully paraphrasing. Be sure to address the following questions in your summary:
What is the purpose of the research? (Address specifics regarding the overall purpose of the research in question.)
What hypothesis is tested? (Provide a clear statement of the researchers’ prediction.)
How did the researchers investigate their research question? (Provide details regarding the study methodology.)
What are the pertinent results of the manipulation? (What were the findings and conclusions drawn?)
What is your personal opinion of the study conducted? Should it be repeated? What could be improved?
What is your overall impression of the work? What are the implications of the study?
Your summary should be written as a coherent essay (do not format as a list of answers to these questions). You may include additional insights in your analysis, but you must address these key issues.
Step 9: Prepare your Article Review according to the following guidelines:
Formatting: Structure your paper utilizing APA style (7th Edition); this includes title page, headings, in-text citations, reference page, and general paper format (1-inch margins, double-spaced, appropriately sized sans serif or serif fonts – e.g., 12 Times Roman). An abstract is not required.
