Please reflect on the following questions and write a thoughtful response, at least one paragraph for each question.
1- Why do you think our society requires children to go to school, whereas most children did not attend school a few centuries ago? What do you think are some of the many purposes of education? 2- What do you think are some psychological benefits associated with education in U.S. society (or another society that you are familiar with)?
3- What might be some psychological dangers or difficulties associated with the experience of attending school in the U.S. (or another country that you know)
4- What do you think the purpose of education should be, in an ideal world?
5- Finally, find a news story about current events in education that illustrates some of the psychological benefits or dangers of education. Provide the link to it here, and explain how it illustrates your ideas about these benefits or dangers. – please complete the homework assignment below by writing your responses on the document. Add as much extra space as you need between the questions to write your answers. — use the link that I gave you to answer At least 2 of the questions.

HOW TO ANSWER
There are several reasons why society requires children to go to school. First, education is essential for developing the skills and knowledge that children need to participate in the modern workforce. In today’s economy, most jobs require at least a high school diploma, and many jobs require a college degree. Second, education helps to promote social cohesion and civic engagement. Schools provide children with opportunities to learn about different cultures and perspectives, and they also teach them the importance of civic participation. Third, education can help to prevent crime and delinquency. Studies have shown that children who are more educated are less likely to commit crimes.
Here are some of the many purposes of education:
To develop the cognitive skills of children, such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity.
To teach children the basic knowledge and skills that they need to function in the modern world, such as literacy, numeracy, and digital literacy.
To promote social cohesion and civic engagement by teaching children about different cultures and perspectives and the importance of civic participation.
To prevent crime and delinquency by providing children with a structured environment and positive role models.
To promote health and well-being by teaching children about healthy eating, exercise, and other healthy behaviors.
To foster personal development by helping children to develop a sense of self-esteem, self-efficacy, and responsibility.
Education can have a number of psychological benefits for children. For example, education can help children to:
Develop a strong sense of self-efficacy. Children who are successful in school are more likely to believe that they are capable of achieving their goals.
Develop a positive attitude towards learning. Children who enjoy learning are more likely to be engaged in their education and to achieve academically.
Form strong social relationships. Schools provide children with opportunities to interact with other children from different backgrounds. These interactions can help children to develop social skills and tolerance.
Develop a sense of purpose. Education can help children to develop a sense of purpose by providing them with opportunities to explore their interests and talents.
Develop the ability to cope with stress. Education can help children to develop the coping skills they need to deal with stress and adversity.
There are also some potential psychological dangers or difficulties associated with the experience of attending school. For example, some children may experience:
Academic anxiety. Children who are struggling academically may feel anxious about their performance in school. This anxiety can lead to problems with sleep, concentration, and self-esteem.
Social anxiety. Children who are shy or socially awkward may feel anxious about interacting with other children at school. This anxiety can lead to isolation and loneliness.
Bullying. Bullying is a serious problem that can have a devastating impact on children’s mental health. Children who are bullied are more likely to experience depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts.
School burnout. School burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion that can result from prolonged stress in school. Symptoms of school burnout include fatigue, irritability, difficulty concentrating, and loss of interest in schoolwork.
Pressure to succeed. Children may feel pressure to succeed in school from their parents, teachers, or peers. This pressure can lead to anxiety, depression, and perfectionism.
In an ideal world, the purpose of education would be to help children to reach their full potential as individuals. This would involve providing children with the opportunities and support they need to develop their cognitive, social, and emotional skills. Education would also focus on helping children to develop a strong sense of self-worth and a commitment to social justice.
Here is a news story about current events in education that illustrates some of the psychological benefits of education:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6482750/
This study found that young adults who had completed a higher level of education were less likely to experience depression and anxiety than young adults who had lower levels of education. The study’s authors suggest that education may help to protect against depression and anxiety by providing young adults with the skills and resources they need to cope with stress and adversity. Education may also help to promote resilience by providing young adults with a sense of purpose and belonging.
This study is just one example of the many ways in which education can have a positive impact on mental health. Education can be a powerful tool for promoting well-being and preventing mental illness.

Discussion Board Topic:
Discussion Board Topic: The Art of the Emotional Deal
In your assigned reading, Emotion and the Art of Negotiation, the author asserts the preparation is the key to success in negotiations. Get your mind right. You also need to prepare your emotional strategy. Borrowing from the author’s table on page 8, comment on what you will expect to feel in each stage: the buildup, the main event, and the finale. Your feelings are distinct; dig deep and offer observations beyond the author’s summary.

For your final project you will be an I/O Consultant preparing to advise the manager or CEO about an issue directly relating to their organization.
<

You will be researching a specific topic related to I/O Psychology that would be useful and informative to a manager or CEO of a company. You will synthesize your findings from the research literature and present them as if you were advising that manager or CEO on that issue.
<

First you will find at least four journal articles on your chosen topic and write an annotated bibliography summarizing each article. Finally you will then synthesize your findings in a 3 to 4 page summary paper of what you found, the pros and cons found in the research, and your recommendation to the manager or CEO concerning this issue in their organization.
<

For example, you could select several articles on workplace violence and write an annotated bibliography of each summarizing their main points in non-research language, including agreements and disagreements on particular findings. Next the summary paper should explain why this particular topic is important to the workplace and how the organization¿s leaders and employees can use the information. Additionally you will make suggestions for this organization based on your research findings. The paper should be presented in a professional way, nicely formatted, free of spelling and grammatical errors, and presented in a clear and structured way.
<

Topic:
<

I must approve the topic. Please post your topic in the topic area in week two or email it to me.
<

Annotated Bibliography:
<

This bibliography should include the four research articles you will use for your paper. These articles need to be on the previously approved topic for the research summary. For each article, you need to provide
<

The citation in APA style
<

A brief (no more than 1 page) summary of each article. The summary should include:
<

The basic premise and research question of the study
<

The methodology
<

Results
<

Conclusions

Summary Paper:
<

You paper should not simply be a summary of your articles (as you did that in the annotated bibliography). Rather, it should be geared at professionals who do not have in-depth knowledge of research, but know something about management and organizations. You could pretend you are the personnel director of a company and are presenting to a group of managers. Your summary paper should convey the information gained from the research literature in an organized way and should make an argument for why this topic is important for managers to pay attention to. Also I would like to see you make some recommendations for action.
<

APA Style: All submissions must be written in APA format. Basically this means that the references must be written in APA style, all assignments written in 11 or 12 point font, double spaced, with 1-inch margins.

My proposed essay structure:
(But please writer note that you don’t have to follow this plan if you feel there’s a better way of answering. This is just a pointer because I would like the parts of Adapting the Pyramid of Decision Approaches Framework for Group Decision-Making and of Benefits and Limitations of the Extended Pyramid of Decision Approaches Framework to be longer than the others. Basically, for it to be more of a critical than descriiptive essay).
Introduction – 150 words
• Briefly introduce the Pyramid of Decision Approaches framework and its relevance to decision-making
• State the purpose of the essay and its structure.
Section 1: Overview of the Pyramid of Decision Approaches Framework – 200 words
• Summarize the main ideas and concepts presented in the report by Schoemaker and Russo (1994)
• Note that the Pyramid of Decision Framework shows where judgments come from
• Discuss the different levels of the pyramid and their characteristics. Go beyond my notes: Intuitive Judgments = Subconscious, hard to explain; Rules and shortcuts = Quick, but articulated and applied consciously; Importance Weighting = Step 1: identify factors and quantify them. Step 2: assign weights to factors. Step 3: multiply each factor by its weight; Value Analysis = Going beyond importance weighting by factoring in uncertainty of weights.
• Explain how the framework is useful for individual decision-making.

Section 2: Limitations of Individual Decision-Making and the Need for Group Decision-Making – 300 words
• Discuss the limitations of individual decision-making in certain contexts
• Explain why group decision-making is necessary in certain situations
• Highlight the challenges and complexities of group decision-making
• Mention the types of groups biases, their differences and similarities: The pressure to conform in groups can lead to poor decision-making through different mechanisms: Normative conformity: fear of rejection or exclusion from a group. Groupthink: fear of conflict or negative group atmosphere. Compliance: fear of being mistaken or standing out; herd mentality (Asch experiment in 1950s).
Section 3: Adapting the Pyramid of Decision Approaches Framework for Group Decision-Making – 600 words
• Discuss the modifications needed to extend the Pyramid of Decision Approaches framework for group decision-making
• Explain how the different levels of the pyramid can be applied to group decision-making
• Provide examples of how the framework can be used in a group decision-making context
• Mention this article when discussing how to extend Importance Weighting to group-work: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1566253518303464
• These are my notes on that article: Decision maker weights show the importance or reliability of decision makers in solving the problem. The studies on determining the weights of the decision makers are limited. Therefore, it is required to determine the weights of decision makers to reflect their relative importance or contribution to the problem.
Section 4: Benefits and Limitations of the Extended Pyramid of Decision Approaches Framework – 600 words
• Discuss the advantages of using the extended framework for group decision-making
• Highlight any limitations or challenges in applying the framework to group decision-making
• Discuss any potential areas for further research or improvement of the framework
Conclusion – 150 words
• Summarize the main points of the essay
• Reiterate the importance of the Pyramid of Decision Approaches framework for decision-making in general and for group decision-making.
• Mention implications for future research.
I attach the paper this essay is based on:” Schoemaker, P. J., & Russo, J. E. (1994). A pyramid of decision approaches. In Decision theory and decision analysis: Trends and challenges (pp. 53-78). Springer, Dordrecht”. Also, I enclose the associated lecture notes.

Conclude with a summary paragraph.

Read the scenario and answer all questions within your chosen scenario in paragraph form. 350-word minimum on a Word document or PDF.
Jack is 9 and in the third grade. He is restless and disruptive in the classroom and at home. He is unable to focus during class time and is distracting to his classmates. He is often seen wandering around the classroom during a lesson, talking to other students. When he is seated, he fidgets will all items on his desk. He has recently been suspended for climbing on top of the teacher’s desk, multiple times, to see how far he can jump.
Is there anything about the information presented that would lead you to wonder whether Jack might have a neurodevelopmental disorder?
2. If so, what was the information?
If not, why not?
Based on what you have read in the text, how might clinicians go about diagnosing Jack?
How might clinicians suggest treating Jack?

ANSWER

1. **Restlessness and Disruptive Behavior**: Jack’s restlessness and disruptive behavior in the classroom and at home are indicative of attention and impulse control problems commonly associated with neurodevelopmental disorders.

2. **Inability to Focus**: His inability to focus during class time suggests attention-related challenges, which are characteristic of certain neurodevelopmental disorders.

3. **Distracting Behavior**: Jack’s tendency to distract his classmates by wandering around and talking during lessons is consistent with attention deficits.

4. **Fidgeting and Restlessness**: His fidgeting with items on his desk and inability to sit still further suggest difficulties with impulse control and hyperactivity.

5. **Risk-Taking Behavior**: Climbing on top of the teacher’s desk multiple times to see how far he can jump indicates impulsivity and risk-taking behavior.

Based on the information provided, clinicians might diagnose Jack by conducting a comprehensive assessment that includes:

1. **Clinical Interview**: A thorough interview with Jack and his parents or guardians to gather information about his behavior, development, and family history.

2. **Behavioral Observations**: Observations of Jack’s behavior in various settings, such as the classroom and home, to assess the consistency of his symptoms.

3. **Teacher and Parent Questionnaires**: Standardized questionnaires filled out by teachers and parents to assess Jack’s behavior, attention, and social interactions.

4. **Neuropsychological Testing**: Cognitive assessments to evaluate his intellectual functioning and identify any specific cognitive deficits.

5. **Diagnostic Criteria**: Assessment of whether Jack meets the diagnostic criteria for neurodevelopmental disorders, such as Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Clinicians might suggest treating Jack through a multimodal approach, which may include:

1. **Behavioral Therapy**: Cognitive-behavioral interventions to help Jack learn self-regulation, impulse control, and better coping strategies for restlessness and impulsivity.

2. **Parent Training**: Educating Jack’s parents on effective strategies to manage his behavior at home and provide consistent support.

3. **Medication**: In some cases, clinicians may recommend medication, such as stimulants, to help manage symptoms of ADHD if diagnosed.

4. **School Support**: Collaboration with Jack’s school to implement behavioral interventions and accommodations in the classroom, such as a structured routine or smaller class size.

5. **Regular Monitoring**: Ongoing assessment and monitoring of Jack’s progress to adjust treatment strategies as needed.

It’s important to note that a formal diagnosis and treatment plan should only be determined by qualified healthcare professionals based on a comprehensive evaluation of Jack’s specific needs and circumstances.

1. Use results from career and personality evaluation. Other Psychology sources can be used as support during the discussion.
2. Please limit all college’s research to Florida with Valencia being the lead college.
3. My Main career interest is Registered Nursing. I am currently getting ready to start the prerequisites.
4. The Career Discovery workbook sheds light on who I am and my interest.
5. The career profile suggested Nurse Practioner so that can be added to the research career interest.
