Assignment: SleepCircadian rhythms regulate many aspects of our daily life. They influence when we get hungry, when we need to use the bathroom, and when our internal temperature goes up or down. New research suggests they even influence your susceptibility to disease (Edgar et al., 2016). There are “clocks” in each and every cell in your body, but the master clock is found in the suprachiasmatic nucleus in your hypothalamus, and this is synchronized to external factors, the most important being light. The most obvious of these rhythms, and the one that you will focus on this week, is sleep.Sleep is a universal phenomenon. Research suggests that most adults need about 7–9 hours of sleep per night to be fully rested and functional (National Sleep Foundation, 2015), although studies suggest that the average adult gets about 6.5 or fewer hours of sleep per night (American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 2014). Despite this universal need for sleep, we do not really know why we sleep. There are many theories, ranging from REM sleep playing a key role in shaking the fluid inside your eyeballs in order to deliver oxygen to the cells of your eye, helping with memory, and washing cellular debris out of your brain. This question of why we sleep has received a significant amount of research attention. One form of this is the 2015 Flame Challenge, coordinated by Alan Alda and Stony Brook University’s Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science. In this, scientists are challenged to answer the question “What is sleep?” in a way that can be understood by an 11 year old. While we may not understand as much as we would like about sleep, what we do know is that sleep is governed largely by genetic factors, and is “hard wired” into your brain.In this week’s Assignment, you will first analyze and describe the stages of sleep and then discuss the theories of why we sleep.ReferencesEdgar, R.

As part of your response, include the behaviors and patterns of brain activity that characterize each stage of sleep.Explain the role of different brain regions and neurotransmitters on promoting sleep and wakefulness.Summarize your chosen article about the biological basis of sleep in enough detail that your reader will understand what was done in the study and what the results of the study were (similar to the articles you found in BioPsychology.com in the first week).Then, apply the findings of your research to one of the sleep disorders described in Chapter 15 by either proposing a new hypothesis about the cause of one of the disorders or by explaining a new treatment for one of these disorders.Support your Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation. You should include in-text citations in the body of your Assignment as well as complete references in APA format at the end of your Assignment

“Don’t Eat the Marshmallow!”Walter Mischel is one of the theorists on whose work we are focusing this week. One of his major contributions to the literature is delayed gratification. This assignment has two steps:Step One: Please watch the following video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLtQaRrDsC4(You will note that, in it, Mischel’s work has been utilized to develop a ‘delayed gratification curriculum’ for KIPP schools nationwide.)Step Two: Please answer the following 6 discussion questions and upload those answers here in an enumerated list.1) Why is ‘delayed gratification’ something that our society should be interested in?2) Do you remember the ‘grit and self-control’ (i.e., Can you Level Up?) exercise from a few weeks ago? In it, you defined self control. What is self control? Many of you indicated that you have lofty goals for which self control is crucial.3) How does the ability to ‘delay gratification’ relate to the concept of ‘self-control’?4) Focus on minute 2 – minute 3: According to Mischel, what are some characteristics of college students who demonstrated a stronger ability to delay gratification when they were children?5) Would you say you have a strong or weak ability to delay gratification? Is that a good or bad thing? Explain.6) If a college student lacks the ability to delay gratification, are they typically going to experience more or less success? Explain your answer in light of the research you’ve reviewed.

Psychology  Critical Thinking

/in /by

It is important that you learn how to critically review research.  In our society today, we are exposed to so much information and so many studies.  Some of thisinformation is excellent, some is useful, and some is very, very bad.  How can you determine what information is useful and what is dangerous?  One way is to take a course like Critical Thinking; however, the facts that I give you will be outdated all too soon. The most important thing you will learn from this course—and from your college education—is how to critically evaluate information presented to you. Critical thinking involves asking five questions: who, what, when, where, how.Find and read an article in the media or a video clip that reports the results of a scientific study.   You must include the link to the website.How accurately did the mass media report the study?Answer the above five questions about the article (Who, What, When, Where, and How). Refer to page 353 of your text and be sure to cover all the highlights discussed.Do NOT use entertainment or sports articles for your review. These are to be research based.Directions:You will write a one-page critical review of the article.  The review should answer each of the five questions.  You must cite your source.  If it is a website, please make sure you put the entire web address. Remember you are evaluating critically, not just summarizing. See the examples below the grading rubric:Week 4: Critical ReviewPoint ValueAdequately covers and answers the 5 questions, plus the summary section (10 points per section) 60 pointsChooses a scholarly/researchable topic 10 pointsUses the recommended number of scholarly resources correctly cited in APA format (at least four)  10 pointsMeets the required word minimum (150 words) and posts word count 10 pointsFollows APA formatting with parenthetical citations and referencing 10 pointsTotal: 100 pointsCRITICAL THINKING REVIEW EXAMPLE:Critical thinking involves asking five questions – who, when, what, where, how.You should organize your paper in the following manner:Your Name      Critical ReviewAuthor, I. (date of publication). Title of article. Name of Publication, volume #, page #-#.ORAuthor, I. (date of publication if available). Title of article. Retrieved [date accessed] from the World Wide Web: [Web site address]Where: Where did this article/Web page appear? Is this reasonable? Is the publishing entity respectable/responsible?Who: Who wrote/published the article/Web page? What are their credentials? Are the credentials appropriate for their argument?When: Is this current information? If yes, do you think it will stand the “test of time”? If no, is it outdated or is it classic?What: What argument is/are the author(s) making? Is it logical? Based on what you know, is it reasonable? What evidence is given to support the argument? Can you think of evidence to refute it?How: How was the supporting/refuting evidence collected? Is this credible? What kind of evidence do you think needs to be gathered to test the argument? Did the author(s) do this?Summarize the quality of the article (it does not have to be a “good” article in your opinion), and whether you consider this to be a worthwhile and trustworthy article. Did you think it was biased? Could the author have underlying motives? What do you think? Is it valid?NOTE: Do not simply answer yes or no to the questions above. Write a thoughtful response to each section.SAMPLE CRITICAL REVIEW:Virginia Norris                                                                                    Critical ReviewEggenberger, T. Sentinel node biopsy. Retrieved August 30, 2001, from the World Wide Web: http://www.intellihealth.com/IH/ihtIH/WSIHW000/9103/29497.htmlWhere: The Intellihealth Web site is a general information health Web site. It draws information from “trusted sources” (e.g., Harvard Medical School, University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine); however, it sells health products and is financed by an insurance company. They do not endorse specific products. In general, the information on this site should be viewed with caution but may be an appropriate first step.Who: Ty Eggenberger, a correspondent for Intellihealth. No evidence is given for the author’s credentials, but the Web site indicates that the editors are experts and use trusted sources.When: Although the site was last updated 8/27/01, there is no indication when the article was written. It appears to be current, but this cannot be evaluated.What: This article reviews a new diagnostic procedure, sentinel node biopsy, for breast cancer. They suggest that women investigate this option, but caution that the surgeon’s experience level is associated with diagnostic accuracy. The information is supported with quotations from a surgeon at a prestigious hospital. The argument appears reasonable and is appropriately cautious. If I were looking for advice on this issue, I would search in more clinically oriented databases to look for data on hits and misses for this diagnostic tool.How: I was disappointed that no source was cited. This makes it difficult for me to evaluate how the evidence was collected.In summary, this is a good first-step article that presents a new diagnostic tool; however, before insisting on this type of biopsy over an axillary dissection, I would look for further information.

Psychology  The Leader’s Moral Dilemma

/in /by

Read the following scenario and write a response considering the provided questions.Scenario: As leaders, there are times in our lives when we will be faced with very difficult moral dilemmas. And even more, when we lead teams of people, we will find ourselves helping them navigate their difficulties. So, here’s the scenario.The hospital’s newest employee, Tom, a bright medical social worker has a full case load. Tom has been on this job for 3 months, but is a seasoned professional in this field.However, Tom’s past experience is from a small hospital with a caseload of 12 patients per week. Here at Mercy Hospital, he has a caseload of 45 patients each week. he is required to the do the following:Lead a Coping Skills group twice a dayCall and schedule services for 9 patients per dayMeet with 4-7 patients per dayClose 20 cases per weekTom is feeling overwhelmed by the high volume. Each of his cases are protected by strict HIPAA laws. But  he doesn’t want to appear incapable by his new boss. Tom takes 10 of his files to his home and works on the patient information there. One day, while looking through the files at home, he realized that 2 of the folders were missing. The folders contain patients’ full names, diagnosis, home address, etc.Truth is, Tom only takes paper copies of his patient files with him to his home, so his supervisor would never know that he had misplaced his patients’ personal and medical information as he can still access the originals saved on his computer at work. What is unsettling for him is that he can’t find the paper copies of 2 of his patients. Tom recently had about 20 people in his apartment for a “Goodbye” party for his younger brother heading off to college, so lots of unfamiliar people had access to the files that sat on his desk. Tom alls you panicking because he can’t find the files. What should Tom do in this situation?Consider: What leader style/type is Tom?What is Tom’s responsibility?What are the patient rights?What is the hospital protocol?Would Tom make a good leader?Writing Requirements (APA format)Length: 2-4 pages (not including title page or references page)1-inch marginsDouble spaced12-point Times New Roman fontTitle pageReferences page
