I need this completed by 02/06/18 at 5pm. My assigned family is Jeong.Discussion 1: Factors Influencing Development in Older AdultsThe transition from middle to late adulthood is characterized by a growing number of life changes. Many parents become “empty nesters” as their children, now adults themselves, move out and start their own lives. Retirement might be greeted begrudgingly or with open arms. Inevitable declines in health, physical ability, and cognitive function become more apparent. Much like earlier life events, one’s reaction to these changes will depend on a multitude of factors; however, what is unique to this age range is that many of these changes will be steeped in loss. This can include the loss of a spouse, a long-time friend, a passionate career, a pleasurable lifestyle, a trade, or a hobby.As a counselor, how might you engage older adults to thrive during this phase of their lives?For this Discussion, review the media, “Late Adulthood.” Focus your final efforts on the older adult in your assigned family. Before crafting your post, also consider the points raised in the media, “Perspectives: The Golden Years.”Note: Identify the last name of your assigned client family in the title of your post.Post by Day 3 a description of two developmental factors that impact late adulthood. Explain how these factors might impact emotional and psychological well-being. Then, describe a protective factor that could optimize the older adult’s health and resilience. Justify your response with references to this week’s Learning Resources and the current literature. Be specific.Readings· Broderick, P. C., & Blewitt, P. (2015).

Psychology  Assignment 1: Applying theory to gender development

/in /by

There are several perspectives on how humans develop gender. Older perspectives that emphasized biological differences between males and females have given way to newer perspectives that account for the roles of both biology (e.g., hormones) and environment. When psychologists refer to the environment, they mean the social factors or socialization agents such as peers, family, school, and media, through which a person comes to understand and develop a gender identity. Although many perspectives are in agreement that socialization agents influence gender development, they differ in their conceptualizations of how, why, and to what degree this occurs.These perspectives have been studied and formulated into theories. Freud led the way with psychoanalytic theories of gender development, suggesting early unconscious drives were the foundation of gender development. Social learning theories are founded in reinforcement and observational models suggesting that gender development is learned. Cognitive development theories suggest that gender differences develop by observation of gender consistencies, gender schemata, or gender scripts within a culture. Whatever the theory, gender roles differ in different cultures.In this Assignment, you will analyze the gender development of an individual through the lenses of two gender development theories. You will also evaluate the relative strengths and weaknesses of the two theories in explaining the individual’s development.To prepareConsider the key socialization agents (culture, family, school, peers, media, or other societal influences) that influence gender development.Consider the theories presented in the Learning Resources (biosocial theories, psychoanalytic theories, social learning theory, and gender-schema theory) and select two to use for this Assignment.Interview an individual you know or complete a self-analysis regarding the key socialization agents (influences) in this person’s or your life regarding gender development. Use the questions in the document “Gender Analysis Questions” in this week’s Learning Resources to guide your interview or self-analysis.Write a 2- to 3-page paper in which you do the following:Briefly introduce the individual you interviewed (or yourself), including the person’s gender identity.Summarize the key gender development socialization agents for this individual.Identify the two theories you selected, and briefly summarize how each would explain the individual’s gender development.Explain the relative strengths and weaknesses of each theory in explaining the gender development of the individual.Please act as if I’m interviewing you when writing this assignment.

Psychology  Diversity Presentation

/in /by

Develop a 10–15-slide presentation with speaker’s notes on a diversity topic of your choice that could ultimately be used as a basis for a staff development session.Diversity training has been a part of U.S. organizational life since the passage of Title VII of the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employers from discriminating against employees on the basis of sex, race, color, national origin, and religion. Early diversity training dealt with improving race relations, addressing racism and anti-Semitism. The 1970s diversity training focused primarily on affirmative action and compliance.In the 1980s, much diversity training centered on increasing cultural sensitivity and fostering respect for differences, emphasizing gender and race. Today, diversity training encompasses a wide range of groups (including white men) and is derived from social justice and inclusion approaches that value differences, encourage treating everyone with respect, and creating fair and equitable work and school environments.While this assessment is not designed to be a diversity training, it lays the foundation for an evidence-based staff development activity that could be part of a larger training initiative.InstructionsYou may determine the work setting for your presentation, such as educational institutions, businesses, nonprofit organizations, hospitals, or mental health care facilities. After selecting the presentation setting, choose your topic that may include any area covered in this course.Sample topics:Racial stereotypes and racism (select one racial or ethnic group).Immigration.Religion and spirituality.Gender stereotypes and sexism.Sexual orientation and heterosexism.Age stereotypes and ageism.Mental disabilities.Physical disabilities.Other topic of your choice related to culture, ethnicity, and diversity.Note: if you choose this option, you must get instructor approval.Using the course readings and other scholarly literature as a basis, develop a presentation on the topic of your choice using PowerPoint, Prezi, or other courseroom-compatible format as follows:Part 1Provide an overview of the topic that includes areas that will be covered in the presentation, a brief description of the population or social group you chose, and key definitions and terms.Part 2The body of the presentation should include the following:Strengths and other positive aspects of being a member of the social group or population.Challenges faced by members of this group. Issues related to categorization and stereotyping, prejudice, discrimination, and social stigma should be incorporated.Part 3Conclude with possible solutions to help combat the challenges faced and/or strategies to support the social group or population.The following guide may be used to organize your presentation:Slide 1: Title (APA style).Slide 2: Presentation overview/outline.Slides 3 and 4: Description of population or social group.Slides 5 and 6: Definitions and terms.Slides 7 and 8: Strengths and other positive aspects of population or social group.Slides 9–12: Challenges faced by population or social group (categorization and stereotyping, prejudice, discrimination, and social stigma).Slides 13–16: Solutions and supportive strategies/conclusion.Slide 17: References.Note that the length of your presentation should be 10–15 content slides of bulleted talking points as well as appropriate supporting graphics on select slides. You must include expanded details that elaborate on the slides using the notes section of the slide presentation. Please remember to use course readings and other scholarly sources to support your work.Example assessment: You may use theDiversity Presentation Example [PPTX]to give you an idea of what a Proficient or higher rating on the scoring guide would look like.Additional RequirementsInclude a minimum of three scholarly resources published within the last five years.Include presenter’s notes for each content slide.Follow APA style and formatting guidelines on your references slide.You are required to save your final presentation in your ePortfolio.Note: If you include audio or video clips in your presentation, you must ensure that your presentation is accessible to all by providing a transcript of any recorded material with your assessment.

Psychology  Wk 7 Discussion 1 Conformity

/in /by

People conform to social pressures for various reasons; perhaps they seek acceptance and approval, or they may conform because that is their natural preference. Conformity can be a good thing (e.g., conforming to workplace protocols builds group identity and cohesiveness); however, sometimes it is hard to explain the motive to conform when conformity means enduring something unpleasant or doing something that harms others. Conformity to fashion styles is one of the many examples of how the behavior of others can influence our own. Social psychologists are always seeking to understand how this influence can shape the choices that individuals make.“Beauty is pain”—this is a popular expression that grossly understates problems associated with some fashion trends. For some, wearing high heels (especially stilettos) can increase knee and hip pain and can cause lower back pain, stress fractures, blisters, corns, hammertoes, bunions, and toenail fungus (Basha, Devi, & Priya, 2018). High heels can also permanently alter the structure of the foot and the rest of the body.Notwithstanding these problems, you will find stiletto heels are touted as the trendy footwear for women with fashion sense in most fashionable shoe stores. Indeed, millions of women everywhere wear high heels every day and love them. They are willing to spend a fortune and bear the pain. When asked why, the answer, more often than not, “they make me look thinner and my legs look longer.”This week, you will analyze social conformity to popular trends and examine the reasons for conforming to authority.Reference:Basha, F. Y. S., Devi, R. G., & Priya, A. J. (2018). A survey on comparative effects of wearing high heels among long-term and short-term users. Drug Invention Today, 10(11), 2244–2248.Discussion 1: ConformityFashion is a fascinating phenomenon, largely because people seem to conform to its dictates. Be it clothing, footwear, accessories, makeup, hairstyle, home décor, lifestyle, and even body styles, people tend to go along with the latest trends. Media fashion images are inescapable; at supermarket checkouts, fashion magazine covers feature perfectly dressed, coifed, accessorized women and tanned, broad-shouldered, men with six-pack abs and bulging biceps. Most people do not look like this—but they try to—as evidenced by the billions spent yearly on clothes, cosmetics, diet plans, and gym memberships.For this Discussion, you will examine social conformity as it applies to fashion trends.Review the Learning Resources related to conformity and think about how social psychology theory and research explain why women and men conform to the pressures of fashion, diet, body styles, and lifestyles.Post Informed by social psychology theory and research, please explain why, health reasons aside, women and men conform to the pressure of fashion dictates.    Explain the advantages and disadvantages of schemas.Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the social psychology theory and research. In addition to the Learning Resources, search the Walden Library and/or Internet for peer-reviewed articles to support your post and responses. Use proper APA format and citations, including those in the Learning Resources.
