ONLY THE INTRODUCTION FOR MY PAPER
You will complete a qualitative research report, based on one of the TED Talks (with transcriipt) provided. Using thematic analysis, you will outline one social psychology theme and one developmental psychology theme from your chosen talk.You will analyse the data using Thematic Analysis with an appropriate epistemology.
-The introduction should focus on the relevant theories, empirical research, and critical evaluation of theory and research. You should ensure that the theory and research are used to justify the current report. You need to clearly state the aims of the report in light of the theories and research (and at this point make reference to the use of TA), and clear research question(s).
– word count will be up to 1250 words
-all references included in APA
– relates to the TEDTalk (uploaded transcriipt).
-almost split into two parts social psychology and developmental psychology
-1 theory of Social Psychology AND 1 theory of Developmental Psychology. Ensure that you select a clear theory .
-Theories used : Social Identity Theory. ( Social Psychology )
Gender Scheme Theory ( Developmental Psychology)
– In the introduction, you need to show extensive reading and a critical understanding of social psychology and developmental psychology
– (consider where theories might be limited and compare to other relevant theories )
. Overviews of social or developmental psychology and debates are NOT to be included.
-Cover social psychology part and the developmental part separately,
-it is not only theory based , it’s about creating your own rational for your study (why research is conducted)
However, it is crucial that you show a critical understanding of both social psychology and developmental psychology . You can use the topic area, theory, and research to support a clear project aim that states what the report will aim to achieve. You also need to refer to the use of Thematic Analysis and the epistemology here (but save the discussions of these for the method section).
End the introduction by clearly stating your research question (you will devise this in the early weeks activities)
My research question is : How does early life experiences and social expectations shape understaning of masculanity ?
I uploaded the transcriipt with my coding (descriiptive which lead to latent coding in bold)
potential themes are :
-(Social) struggle with personal identity and social expectations
-(developmental): Family influence and development.

Discussion Question # 1:
Will the patients be concerned about Med-device reuse given it is not legal in USA? Will this prove to be a reason for US insurance companies and patients staying away?

In this assignment you will build on the work for Assignment 3A: Presentation by completing a written report that focuses on the application of positive psychology to a real life social issue which has a significant effect on broader society. The broad aim is to demonstrate how positive psychology might be used to help address some of the problems related to a chosen social issue/s. In doing so, you will be expected to apply key positive psychology principles and draw upon relevant research and theory to evaluate how effective and applicable positive psychology may be as an intervention.
TOPIC: Anxiety disorders in youth and adolescents
INTERVENTION: Art therapy/creativity + Mindfulness
Structure
The report that you produce should be divided into four different sections that should:
Introduce the aims of the report and clearly establish the parameters (what will be discussed).
Provide a detailed overview of the chosen social issue.
Provide a detailed overview of the chosen positive psychology principle(s).
Provide a detailed descriiption of a proposed positive psychology based intervention and/or program designed to help reduce the negative impact of the chosen social issue.
More details on what you should include in each of the sections are provided below.
Section 1: Introduction
In this section, you should provide an introduction to the report that outlines the broad aim(s) of the report, as well as the parameters (what the report will contain). It should be made very clear to the audience as to the exact purpose of the report and the aim(s) and scope should be articulated clearly and accurately. The overall aim for Section 1 is to provide an introduction to the report and make it clear to the audience what will be contained within the report. In this case, the audience will be health professionals. The suggested word count for this section is between 500–750 words.
Section 2: Overview of chosen social issue
In Section 2 you should introduce the chosen social issue that will form the focus of the report. You should provide a clear descriiption of what the social issue is and the effect that it has individually and more broadly on society. In doing so, consider both the historical and current impact (i.e. internet addiction would not have been an issue historically. You should include any relevant statistics and/or information pertaining to epidemiology, including causes and contributing factors (e.g. who is at risk?). Remember when describing trends and stating figures for statistics to use formal sources and not websites such as Wikipedia. You should additionally include an evaluation of current approaches to treatment and intervention (e.g. medical treatments, psychological treatments, broader interventions and programs). You should not include any intervention and/or treatment that is based on your proposed intervention. This will be covered in Section 3. Instead, the focus here should be on existing efforts to address the chosen social issue. The aim of Section 2 is to provide a thorough overview of the chosen social issue and to help illustrate to the audience that it is a significant problem that needs further attention. The suggested word count for this section is approximately between 1000–1200 words.
Section 3: Introduction and integration of positive psychology
In this section you should broadly and briefly introduce the discipline of positive psychology with a specific focus on what positive psychology is and how it may be applied to improve the wellbeing of people in general (e.g. how it might be used in counselling). Having provided a general introduction, you should then describe the aspect(s) of positive psychology that will form the basis of your intervention (e.g. meditation and mindfulness, religion and spirituality, flow, signature strengths, broadening of emotions). You should provide a clear and accurate descriiption, including integration of relevant theory as applicable. You should also provide a brief literature review that helps outline the efficacy of the chosen positive psychology aspect for the purposes of treatment and/or interventions. Where possible, the literature should focus on your chosen social trend, but in the absence of relevant literature, you can focus more broadly. You should make sure you critically evaluate the literature. The overall aim of Section 3 is to introduce positive psychology as an approach to helping people and to review the current literature on a specific aspect of positive psychology. The suggested word count for this section is 1500 words.
Section 4: Intervention proposal
In the final section of the report you should provide a detailed descriiption of your proposed intervention. You should provide sufficient detail on the intervention focusing on the what, who, how, where, when, and why.
What the intervention is:
Make sure you provide a clear, thorough descriiption of the intervention and include a rationale.
Who it is aimed at:
Is the intervention aimed at individuals experiencing the targeted social issue (e.g. drug users, obese individuals) or does it also capture a broader audience (e.g. educators, family members)? Make sure it is clear as to who would be the ideal candidate for the intervention.
How the intervention would work:
Describe clearly the processes and mechanisms involved for your chosen intervention (e.g. if you choose meditation as a technique, how would it work? Would surveys, questionnaires and/or clinical interviews be involved?). Also include how you would know it worked (i.e. what criteria would you use to measure success for the intervention?).
When it would be implemented:
This should essentially focus on timing; would the intervention run daily? Weekly? Monthly? Once off? Would it be available at all times or would access be restricted?
Where it would be implemented:
Would the intervention be in person? Online? Would it be run in a community setting? A school setting?
Why you have chosen this approach:
This is an important aspect of this Section, as you must provide a justification for the approach you have taken. In doing so, you evaluate other alternatives you considered and the limitations to these.
The overall aim of Section 4 is to provide a detailed overview of your proposed intervention.The suggested word count for this section is between 1500–2000 words.
The above is a guide to what you should include in each section. Throughout the course of the unit, there will be other opportunities to discuss what you may include in the report including the Assignment 3B Q&A.
Other sections
You should also include within your report:
An abstract (no more than 250 words).
A table of contents.
A conclusion.
A reference list.
Please note: The word count does not include these sections.
You are to draw from current peer-reviewed research and publications and your work should conform to APA requirements.

Flashbulb memories are memories about a specific event that are so vivid it creates a ″snapshot″ of the event. Examples of well-known flashbulb memory events include the 9/11 attacks, Challenger disaster, and the MLK or JFK assassinations.
Research the phenomenon of flashbulb memories. Discuss the major theorists, main characteristics of flashbulb memories and the major criticisms of these types of memories. Now, identify a personal example of a flashbulb memory and describe in detail what you were doing when you heard the news of this event (what was the time? who were you with? what was the first thing you thought of when you heard the news?).
Thinking back to when your flashbulb memory event occurred. How confident are you about the accuracy of your responses about this event? Is the experience of your flashbulb memory event consistent with the characteristics and/or criticisms of flashbulb memories?

Research is important in the field of psychology and to child development. Knowing the components for conducting and analyzing research is just as important to help prepare students for their capstone course. For this assignment, students will be conducting scholarly research and incorporating content they have learned from Topics 1-4 to write a 1,200-1,500-word paper. This assignment contains two parts. Please read the assignment instructions carefully to ensure the inclusion of both parts.
To prepare for this assignment, locate three scholarly articles at library.gcu.edu, using parameters for articles that are peer-reviewed and published within the last 5 years.
(a) One of your articles must include research methods and design concepts from Chapter 1 of the textbook, including but not limited to survey and interview, case study, physiological measures, standardized testing, descriptive, correlational, or experimental research, and cross-sectional or longitudinal approaches.
(b) Select a Topic from Topics 1-4 in the textbook. For example, you may choose from biological foundations or genetic components of development, one of the stages of development (prenatal, infant, or birth), developmental milestones in infancy, aspects of development including biological, psychological, and socioemotional, theoretical perspectives, such as psychoanalytic, cognitive, evolutionary, ecological, etc. This list is not comprehensive but can offer students ideas to choose from. The selected topic may not duplicate work that has been completed in the class thus far in previous topics.
Part I: The purpose of this assignment is to combine focused research with elements learned within the class. Your goal is to pick one area of interest from what you have learned so far. Address the following in your paper in third person narrative:
1. Describe the Topic selected (e.g., prenatal stages of development).
2. Which theories and theorists contributed to this Topic?
3. In a minimum of 300 words, summarize each of the three scholarly articles found in the library. Identify the following within the article: What type of research method was used? What type of design was used? Was the research qualitative or quantitative? Identify other research elements if any, such as informed consent, confidentiality, debriefing practices, and deception.
4. Discuss whether the research was ethical and explain another way the study could have been conducted. A detailed discussion with source support is required for critical thought to be demonstrated. *To receive full credit, you have to include an alternative method of conducting the study.
Part II: In a first-person narrative, reflect on what you learned in your research in a minimum of 200 words.
1. Was there anything interesting that you did not know before? OR What new information did you learn throughout the process: readings, class discussions, focused research?
2. Does the incorporation of scholarly research in the early stages of your academic journey, further your understanding of conducting research?
Use three to four scholarly resources to support your explanations. The textbook and other relevant resources should be cited when describing topics from the class.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
