The Ethics of Intervention for Food Refusal

/in /by

The Ethics of Intervention for Food Refusal In the article by Vaz, Volkert, and Piazza (2011) an intervention was applied to address the negative reinforcement function of food refusal by a young boy. For this assignment: Describe your initial reaction to the intervention, especially regarding the use of escape avoidance strategies.

Take the position that you oppose the intervention and explain why. Your rationale should specifically address any possible undesired side effects, as well as whether the intervention appeared to violate any ethical codes. Be sure to cite specific codes from the Professional and Ethical Compliance Code for Behavior Analysts. Take the position that you support the intervention and explain why. Your rationale should specifically address any possible benefits and the boy’s right to effective treatment. Revisit your initial reaction to the intervention. Do you still feel the same way, or has your examination of both sides influenced your reaction? Do you believe the intervention is in line with the Professional and Ethical Compliance Code for Behavior Analysts? Explain.

Many psychologists may be familiar with ethical considerations

/in /by

While many psychologists may be familiar with ethical considerations in their own culture, such as the use of Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) to review research, or the existence of professional documents such as American Psychological Association’s (APA) code of ethics, when conducting research outside of their majority home culture, they may be at a loss.

Many psychologists may be familiar with ethical considerations

While many psychologists may be familiar with ethical considerations in their own culture, such as the use of Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) to review research, or the existence of professional documents such as American Psychological Association’s (APA) code of ethics, when conducting research outside of their majority home culture, they may be at a loss. For instance, the psychologist may not be aware of different rules and regulations for research in different nations, or about various spoken and unspoken cultural beliefs about morals and ethics and the role and purpose of research, such as differing understandings and beliefs about what merits co-authorship or what constitutes privacy and confidentiality. Familiarizing yourself with such ethical considerations will be important for you to understand in your future professional practice.
For this Discussion, you will examine ethical issues related to cross-cultural research and the necessary course of action.

To Prepare consider the following::

Professor Plum wants to investigate cross-cultural differences in attitudes towards different foods. He is very interested in nation “X”. However, he has never been there nor does he know the language or culture or the political situation. He also does not know if there are any psychologists living in that nation. Understanding attitudes about foods in this nation may help with people with eating disorders in Professor Plum’s country and eventually may help people with eating disorders in many nations.

As you consider Professor Plum’s research, think about the impact of his plans on human subject protection. Also, consider the ethical implications of the aims of his research purposes and his ability to gain information that will accurately represent those from whom he collects data.

By Day 4

Before Professor Plum begins his research, post and explain some of the potential ethical issues he will need to consider (i.e., impact on human subject protection) and why this is an important consideration.  Further explain two ethical issues and suggest what courses of action might be appropriate.

Note:

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources. Also, identify current relevant literature to support your work. Read your colleagues’ postings.

By Day 6

Respond to at least two of your colleagues’ posts, consider your own culture, and provide two ethical dilemmas that might be encountered from your point-of-view.

Note:

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources. Use proper APA format and citations.

Return to this Discussion in a few days to read the responses to your initial posting. Note what you have learned and/or any insights you have gained as a result of your colleagues’ comments.

Observe first-hand the cognitive development of children

The goal of this assignment is to give you the opportunity to observe first-hand the cognitive development of children. Choose and complete ONE of the following application activities with at least TWO different children. Based on your application experience you should submit a 2-4 page report, double-spaced, type-written, and in 12 point font. In your report, be sure you address the following issues:
1. Describe the children who participated in your activity (e.g. age, gender, education, SES, culture, has/hasn’t had nap, etc.). How did you select or recruit your participants and how do you know them? 5 points

2. Describe the environment in which you administered the activity (e.g. time, day of week, who is present, school vs. home, etc.). 5 points

3. Describe in detail your method (the activity you devised and how you administered it). What exactly did you do and say (you can even write this out as a script). Be sure to specifically explain how your activity relates to method(s) you have read about or heard about in class (e.g. “This was similar to the …method because I did…. and it did… but instead of… I used….”). 10 points

4. Describe your findings (what exactly were the children’s behaviors and explanations?

What exactly did the children say and do?). Make sure you provide a detailed account of the children’s words and behavior. 10 points

5. Discuss the conclusions about each child’s cognitive development that can be drawn based on your findings. Make sure to discuss developmental stages and/or cognitive abilities using terminology from our course. How do the responses of the two children compare (similar) and contrast (different) to one another? Were CDEV/PSYC 3140 Esterly the findings expected? Be sure to explain why. Were there any factors that might have impacted your findings (child was tired, parent interrupting, etc) 10 points

6. Discuss how your findings and conclusions relate to what you have read about in our text or what we have discussed in class. You must discuss at least three concepts and/or theories of cognitive development discussed in class or in the text.10 points

Application Activity Choices

Pick one activity below and complete the activity with two different children. Make sure the activity is designed to be appropriate for the ages and personalities of the children participating. You need to make sure to use a similar method for both participants so that you may compare and contrast their development. However, in order to determine the developmental level of each participant, you may need to make the activity increasingly difficult if one participant is doing well and/or make the activity decreasingly difficult if one participant is struggling with the task.

A. Object Permanence (0-3 years): Your task is to examine the object permanence ability of 2 different children. Based on your readings and our class discussions, devise a way to test the object permanence ability of two children at different ages (e.g. 3 washcloths and an object). More than one hiding location is needed to look for the Anot-B error. Invisible displacement is needed to identify full object permanence.

B. False Belief (3-6 years):

Your task is to assess children’s understanding of false belief. Based on your readings and our class discussions, devise a way to test false-belief understanding in two children at different ages (e.g. juice box with ribbons).
CDEV/PSYC 3140 Esterly

C. Conservation (3-10 years): Your task is to examine the conservation abilities of 2 different children. Based on your readings and our class discussions, devise a way to test conservation understanding in two children at different ages (e.g. water/glasses, play dough, pennies, etc). You only need to do one type of conservation task.

D. Class Inclusion (3-10 years): Your task is to assess children’s understanding of class inclusion. Based on your readings and our class discussions, devise a way to test class inclusion understanding in two children at different ages (e.g. green skittles vs. skittles).

E. Seriation (3-12 years): Your task is to examine children’s abilities to seriate objects.

Based on your readings and our class discussions, devise a way to test the seriation abilities of two children at different ages (e.g. pencils of different sizes). You’ll need a physical task (pencils) and an abstract (algebra word problem) task if one of your participants is older than 8.

If possible you should complete the activity yourself with actual children. If you do not know any children you may want to ask to join a classmate who does. By completing this assignment with actual children you can earn up to 5 points extra credit. If you are unable to complete the assignment with actual children, you may choose to find and watch video clips of others completing these tasks online. Also, If you do your observations online, choose wisely. In your paper, make sure to acknowledge your source, and make sure to discuss similarities and differences in how the task was administered to each child and specifically how this may influence the results and conclusions.

Psychological and behavioral factors of individual terrorists

Write a college-level research paper describing the psychological and behavioral factors of individual terrorists (i.e. recruits and suicide bombers; NOT leaders such as Bin Laden).

Psychological and behavioral factors of individual terrorists

Write a college-level research paper describing the psychological and behavioral factors of individual terrorists (i.e. recruits and suicide bombers; NOT leaders such as Bin Laden).

Address different radicalization processes/models in the final paper such as Moghaddam’s Staircase, so you only need to research and discuss individual psychological and behavioral factors in this paper. Also, remember that “psychological” does not mean “psychotic” and we are only addressing those of sound mind who deliberately choose violence for a political purpose, or retribution or to instil fear (not crazy mass shooters).

Assignment Specifics:

The body of your report is to be at least three FULL pages in length (not counting title page and references) and is to contain the following:

A brief introduction, with the topic and your thesis.

A main body, containing the “meat” of the paper, where you provide the requested information supported by class readings and with your analysis.

A conclusion, summarizing your information clearly and concisely.

Make sure you read the instructions carefully and that you focus your paper on answering the assigned questions. This assignment is a research paper. It is not an opinion paper. You need to use scholarly sources to support your thesis. Make sure you use APA style in-text parenthetical citations at the end of every sentence where you are quoting another’s ideas (or any information) that is not your own thoughts and words, like this (Bergen, 2015, para. 14).

Citations are required for paraphrases as well, but not the page or paragraph number in that case. Make sure you use only scholarly and credible sources. (Do not use open websites and you never want to use Wikipedia for a college-level paper). Also, dictionaries and encyclopedias, as well as general news sites (like CNN, FOX News), are not appropriate for college-level research papers.

What have you learned so far in psychology?

What have you learned so far in psychology? How does it pertain to your life? I want you to create a 1 to 2 page infographic on the top 10 things you have learned in psychology. Your Top 10 list must include a specific topic from each of the eight chapters we have covered, the extra two topics can come from any of the 8 chapters we have covered thus far. You must tie each concept to something in your life or a real-world situation. Be sure you are applying or relating the concept correctly. Each concept/topic of your list should be approximately 2-5 sentences long. Make sure your infographic is visually appealing, use appropriate colours, graphics and images

For Example:
In Chapter 3 we learned about neurotransmitters and brain areas. One idea in my Top 10 list might include: “Dopamine & Nucleus Accumbens. Dopamine is an important neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward. When I eat my favourite chocolate, a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, dopamine is released in my nucleus accumbens, part of my limbic system! The increase in dopamine here ensures that I will keep coming back to Reese Peanut Butter Cups in the future”

For Example:
In Chapter 6 we learned about sleep disorders. One idea for my Top 10 List might include: “Insomnia. Insomnia is a sleep disorder that affects up 40% of the population. My mother experiences insomnia as she has a hard time staying asleep for long periods of time and experiences a lot of daytime fatigue. Insomnia is affect ed by biological, psychological and environmental causes. My mother’s insomnia is likely related to the stress she experiences as a nurse.”

There are several websites that provide free infographic templates – such as Canva.com and Piktograph.com
