The book is online it is call Atopical Approach to Life-Spam ninth edition by John. W Santrock
Please read the section of Chapter One which covers Research Methods, pages 27 to 38. The following assignment asks you to CONCENTRATE on the material in the section on “Time Span of Research,”on pages 32-33. This section describes an important issue in research design which is specific to the field of Lifespan Development. Please, read this material v ery carefully before working on the following assignment.
for this assignment, there is a WORD LIMIT. This assignment should not be longer than 400 words. This word limit is designed to help you explain clearly, because you will need to choose your words very carefully and avoid using any unnecessary words. However, please be sure that your explanations are complete. Please be sure to include a WORD COUNT at the beginning of the assignment.
For this assignment on Research Design in Lifespan Development, you are being presented with two scenarios. Each scenario describes the work of a researcher. Please read the material in the book on this topic very carefully. Be sure that you fully understand the research issues before addressing the assignment.
Dr. Case and Dr.Almond are both interested in the factors involved in people’s becoming obese, or seriously overweight. Dr. Case suspects that obesity is more likely among older people, people over 70. At one point in time, in the year 2016, he collects information about the eating and exercise habits of three groups of people. There are 25 people in each group. Group one has people aged 25. Group two has people aged 50. Group three has people aged 75. He then compares the information obtained from these people, looking for differences in obesity among the people in the three different age groups. He finds that the people in the oldest group have the most difficulties with obesity.
What research design has Dr. Case used?
Can Dr. Case interpret his results correctly by saying that as people get older, they are more likely to become obese? (Be careful in your answer to explain the term “cohort effect” and explain its relevance to Dr. Case’s study.)

Dr. Almond is also interested in the factors involved in people’s becoming obese. Dr. Almond also suspects that the risks of people becoming obese increase as they age. He identifies 75 people, the same total number of people as Dr. Case, and begins to measure their weights and collect information about their eating and exercise habits every 25 years, beginning when they are aged 25 and going on to when they are ages 50 and 75. Like Dr. Case, he finds that the people have the most difficulty with obesity when they are in the oldest age group.
What kind of research design has Dr. Almond used?
Can Dr. Almond interpret his results correctly by saying that as people get older, they are more likely to become obese? (Be careful in your answer to explain the drawbacks to this type of research design, and explain their relevance to Dr. Almond’s study).

For this assignment, you should carefully read the chapter on Psychological Disorders. Then you should apply one of the psychological disorders you have read about to a character in a movie or TV program you have seen or a fictional book or comic book character. You can use any disorder discussed in the chapter (please don’t choose substance abuse disorders for this paper). You will type a one page summary of the character, to orient the reader (i.e., me) to what film/show you are reviewing. And then, you will then type a 3-4 page ‘analysis’ of this character using your knowledge from the chapter. Thus, the entire paper should be 4-5 pages total (not including the references page). Also, be sure to discuss why you believe the character has the disorder AND how you think this character might be best helped. Keep in mind that I may not have seen the movie or TV show you are discussing, so please describe the character in enough depth that I will be able to understand your paper. Be creative and have fun analyzing! Your analysis of the character should come from information from at least 3 research-based journal articles. These can be reviews of past research or the actual research studies (even better)! You can access these from the journal databases on Mt. SAC’s library website. Make sure to cite your sources throughout the paper and include a references/bibliography page, or else it is plagiarism and you will receive a failing grade for the assignment. You may cite the textbook sparingly, but I want most of your info to come from your research sources. Checklist (make sure that you include all of the following in your paper):
Decide what character and disorder you plan to discuss in your paper.
Read about this disorder from these 3 journal article sources you’ve found.
Write a summary of the character, to orient the reader (i.e., me) to what film/show you are reviewing. No more than one page needed.
Write about what characteristics he or she possesses that makes you think he/she has the specific disorder you are discussing. Include citations and info from your sources (at least two sources needed in this section).
Write about whether you think this character was born with this disorder or developed it (nature vs. nurture) based on your readings. Include citations and info from your sources (at least two sources needed in this section). Write about how you think this character might be best helped. Include citations and info from your sources (at least two sources needed in this section).
Write about whether you think this disorder was portrayed accurately or whether there was a lot of “Hollywood” in the movie? What aspects seemed more accurate and what aspects seemed less accurate? You may wish to include a citation in this section to back up your claims.
Write about how you might help a friend or loved one who was diagnosed with this disorder. Keep in mind that you are not a trained therapist, so that would not be your role. What CAN you do to help or support? Include your references page at the end (not included in the page length requirement).
Make sure you cited your sources throughout the paper in either APA style (since that is the format used in psychology). Info on APA style can be found on www.apa.orgLinks to an external site. or handouts from the library.
To find journal articles, you can visit the Mt SAC library database and look up articles in ProQuest or PsycArticles in the Psychology section. If you need help with this, please call or visit the library and they can walk you through it. The more journal articles you use, the better! NOTE: You may NOT use any source that discusses the character and their disorder! That is your job, and the main purpose of this paper. If you use one of those sources for your paper, you would earn a zero. Examples of disorders:
“Sybil”: dissociative identity disorder
“A Beautiful Mind”: Paranoid Schizophrenia
Monica on “Friends”: OCD

1. On pp. 71-73 of the course textbook, Freud outlines what he calls an “ego psychology.” Briefly summarize what you take to be the main points Freud makes on pp. 71-73. What does Freud say about the ego that compares with, or is similar to, what G.H. Mead says about the self on pp. 100-101 of the textbook?
​(In your answer, you MUST provide two brief quotations from pp. 71-73 of the textbook and one brief quotation from pp. 100-101. Each quotation MUST contain at least one COMPLETE sentence.)

2. On pp. 83-85 of the course textbook, Freud discusses instinctual drives and the role they play in human psychology and behavior. Summarize what you take to be the main points Freud makes on pp. 83-85. What are two points that William James makes on pp. 38-39 of the course textbook that connect with or relate to Freud’s discussion on pp. 83-85?
​(In your answer, you MUST provide two brief quotations from pp. 83-85 of the textbook and two brief quotations from pp. 38-39. Each quotation MUST contain at least one COMPLETE sentence.)

3. On p. 87 of the course textbook, Freud writes, “the ego…struggles to master its economic task of bringing about harmony among the forces and influences working in and upon it.” Explain what Freud means by this statement while briefly summarizing the main points he makes on pp. 86-89 of the textbook. What is one point that C.H. Cooley makes on pp. 2-3 of the excerpt from Human nature and the Social Order (in Additional Reading on Blackboard) about the self that, in your view, can be related to what Freud says about the ego on pp. 86-89 of the textbook? Explain.
​(In your answer, you MUST provide two brief quotations from pp. 86-89 of the textbook and one brief quotation from pp. 2-3 of the excerpt from Cooley’s Human Nature and the Social Order that is on Blackboard. Each quotation MUST contain at least one COMPLETE sentence.)
Important Info

The order was placed through a short procedure (customer skipped some order details).
Please clarify some paper details before starting to work on the order.

Type of paper and subject
Number of sources and formatting style
Type of service (writing, rewriting, etc)

Please NUMBER and answer the questions in your initial post.
1. Describe a smell that causes you to have strong emotional
memories. Explain the process in the nervous system that allows
this to occur.
2. In what ways would your life change if you lost your hearing?
3. If your biological parents had Huntington’s disease, would you
want to know if they passed the dominant allele to you? Why or
why not?
STEP 1
You must read the slides for Shapiro chapters 6, 7, 8 BEFORE posting in this discussion.
You should also read and annotate those chapters in Shapiro or Noba (see Noba notes in this module for the corresponding chapters).
You need to use the terms covered in the material above when talking about the senses in your discussion below.
Show me that you understand the chapters and can apply the concepts when talking about your own experiences. This is part of the points for this discussion.
TOPICS:
Describe a smell that causes you to have strong emotional memories. Explain the process in the nervous system that allows this to occur.
In what ways would your life change if you lost your hearing?
If your biological parents had Huntington’s disease, would you want to know if they passed the dominant allele to you? Why or why not?
Here is a sample initial post:
1) Describe a smell that causes you to have strong emotional memories. Explain the process in the nervous system that allows this to occur.
I have a visceral reaction to pizza, especially deep-dish pizza. When I had to go through chemotherapy, I was nauseated for the first 10-14 days after each chemo session. I could not hold down any food. My spouse decided to get deep-dish pizza during one of these times. Every time they heated up the leftover pizza in the microwave, the strong smell would fill the house. Random smells made me nauseous during chemo. To this day, I do not like/enjoy pizza the same way that I used to.
(insert the process the NS allows this to occur) *not writing this as it is similar for each person.
2) In what ways would your life change if you lost your hearing?
I think it would be a very isolating experience to lose your hearing. I once read that blind people can still be very social in society because they hear everything that is going on around them and they can participate. Blind people can still speak to communicate. When you are deaf, you can feel left out when you do not know what others are saying or doing around you. Everything is silent and it is as if you do not speak the same language. For example, others do not speak ASL. I watched this one documentary called Sound and Fury (2000). It was about deaf culture and how some of them do not want to get a cochlear implant to gain hearing. They are proud of their deaf culture.
3) If your biological parents had Huntington’s disease, would you want to know if they passed the dominant allele to you? Why or why not?
Yes, I would want to know whether I would develop Huntington’s disease in my 40’s. The earlier for me to know, the better because then I would not have kids. I do not want to pass this genetic disease to them. It would make their life hard and my life hard as well. This world does not need more people anyway. We are overpopulated. I always want to know as much as I can so that I can make educated decisions and I am more prepared for the future.

I have uploaded the article to be used for this assignment.
Write a 275-word reflection in which I: Explain how the information from this recourse (the article I uploaded} relates to your career interests and to your interest in psychology.
Please read below what I wrote to help you understand my career interests in psychology. After reading the article I submitted, please use it and explain how it relates to my interest in psychology.
My interest in psychology is to learn about the complex relationships between human behavior and the world which we live, how culture impacts us, what motivates us, how our personalities influence our daily actions. Narcissism correlates with very positive components of mental health toughness, such as confidence and goal orientation, protecting against symptoms of depression and perceived stress. Researchers now suggest that some of these traits might help safeguard a person’s mental health.
Format the assignment according to APA GUIDELINES.

*IMPORTANT INFO* I am the Father of Theodora in these scenarios and Theo is a girl.
THEODORAat 10 years 11 months
Some highlights of the 5th grade report card (the one that is being sent on to middle school with Theodora’s portfolio of writing samples, and standardized test scores) were as follows:
“Demonstrates strength” in the areas of mathematical problem solving, understanding of data, number concepts, graphical applications, and arithmetic computation.
“Demonstrates strength” in the area of music.
Consistently works cooperatively in groups, consistently respects rights and property of others, and consistently demonstrates appropriate peer social interaction.
“Demonstrates strength” in the area of art.
“Demonstrates strength” in all areas of reading, and in spelling and “appropriate for grade level” in writing.
Consistently works independently, listens attentively, and follows directions and classroom rules.
“Demonstrates strength” in the areas of speaking and listening and in content knowledge of social studies and science.
In the comments section the teacher wrote: Occasionally Theodora gets upset during stressful situations inside or outside the classroom, but usually is able to bounce back quickly.
Theodora spends time after school and on weekends sending messages to friends on her smartphone. You keep the phone at home and allow her to carry it only when she will be away on a sleepover with a friend or going places around the neighborhood with friends. This way you can remain in contact in case of emergencies. You used a Smartphone a lot yourself in your teen years, but you are still surprised at how early it has started in Theodora’s generation
Theodora is working at the 6th grade math level (the highest level offered at her school) and usually gets the homework done easily and gets everything right on the tests. At this point she is really interested in science, but thinks math is sort of humdrum.
You work with the teacher to find science fairs and volunteer to get together a group from Theodora’s class to put together a science experiment for the upcoming fair. Theodora joins in with enthusiasm.
Theodora’s fifth grade class is just about to leave on the fifth grade science camp trip (a week spent in cabins in the mountains). The fifth grade teachers have been preparing the kids for weeks, alternating with each other in the teaching of science units on ecology, astronomy, geology, botany and zoology. The kids are also learning all of the rules of camp (they will have to keep their cabin clean, wash dishes, turn the lights out at 9, etc). This is Theodora’s first extended stay away from home. Theodora is really enthusiastic about the science topics and talks a lot about them at home. It seems as though the prospect of actually doing hands-on science is already enhancing her interest in and knowledge about the topics. You figure the whole trip will be a good life-experience as well as a good academic experience.
Theodora is able to concentrate longer on tasks than at age 8, although she has occasional lapses.
You reward Theodora for completing the homework for the day all in one session rather than splitting it up.
Theodora’s asthma seems to kick up in the fall and the spring or when she gets a cold.
You stay with the medications, and teach Theodora to take as many precautions as possible to avoid colds.
Theodora is always wanting to design something, such as a new set-up in her room, a dress, or a garden project.
You teach her how to sew and the two of you take a clothing design class together and have a great time with it on weekends.
Theodora gets along very well with most people, is popular with other kids, and has a lot of social and other after-school activities.
You facilitate Theodora’s interests by allowing friends over or allowing Theodora to stay at her friends’ houses.
Theodora is getting quite good at soccer and really looks forward to it. She played on the “All Stars” team last year. Theodora’s coach recommends joining a travel team as a way of advancing faster This is practically year round, so it would mean there isn’t enough time for serious competitive play in other sports.
You don’t want her to burn out on a sport and grow to dislike it at such a young age. You continue with the regular soccer league and All Stars, as Theodora has friends there and really likes it. But you also encourage her to try other sports through the rec center or informal play.
Theodora is very verbally adept and witty, and enjoys jokes, stories and riddles.
You enjoy having a wider range of conversations together than you could last year.
Theodora is continuing to be a strong reader, and always seems to have a fiction book she is reading.
You sometimes read the same books as Theodora, and converse about some of the funnier or more interesting moments in the book. Sometime you suggest a book to Theodora that you think she’d like.

The paper must be 7 to 8 full pages (double-spaced, excluding title page and references). APA 7 Your paper must be on a topic related to substance abuse treatment and recovery within a specific LGBTQ community. The topic should address the intersection of at least two diversity issues. Some examples include: substance abuse treatment issues among HIV-positive gay and bisexual men (integrates a stigmatized chronic illness with sexual identity), substance abuse treatment issues among African-American or Latino gay and bisexual men (integrates racial/ethnic minor- ity issues with sexual identity), substance abuse treatment issues among African- American or Latino lesbian and bisexual women (integrates racial/ethnic minority issues, sexism and sexual identity), substance abuse treatment issues among older gay and bisexual men (integrates issues related to ageism and sexual identity), or substance abuse treatment issues among lower SES transgender women who are commercial sex-workers (integrating class, gender identity, and commercial sex issues). These are just a few ideas. Feel free to be creative in selecting a community of interest within the greater LGBTQ population When writing your paper, information should be drawn from at least 10 references (clinical or research-based) published within the last 5 years with information organized into the following sec- tions:
a. Defining the population—including areas of diversity to be addressed throughout the remainder of the paper.
b. Review of epidemiological trends of drug use (e.g., prevalence rates, alcohol/drugs most commonly used).
c. Discussion of psychosocial factors related to substance abuse and/or dependence in this population (i.e., review environmental, socio-cultural, and psychological factors that would need to be addressed in treatment).
d. Overview of available treatment options (programs, modalities, techniques) along with ideas you have that would strengthen the therapeutic outcome when working with your chosen population. Be sure to consider issues related to heteronormativity, bias, homophobia, toxic shame and other cultural manifestations of repression likely to exist within your treatment population. Feel free to be creative and suggest treatment modalities or techniques that have not been discussed in this class but that you feel would benefit your clients.
