⦁ A researcher was interested in the interaction between experience and mild intoxication on driving performance.  They recruited 40 drivers to complete a driving simulation task.  Half of the participants were highly experienced drivers, while the others were relatively inexperienced. Participants all completed the task under two conditions: once when they were sober; and again after drinking a low dose of alcohol.  Reaction times to hazards that appeared in the simulation were taken as the DV.  What statistical test should be used to analyse the data collected from this study?
Select one:

2×2 Repeated Measures ANOVA

3×2 Independent ANOVA

Two-Way Mixed ANOVA

Three-Way Independent ANOVA

⦁ How many data points would each participant provide for an experiment which is analysed using a Repeated Measures 2×2 ANOVA?  (Hint: think about how many columns you would need to enter their actual performance scores into when setting up an SPSS data file).

Seven Models

Compare the 1960 disease model by Jellinek to one of the seven models discussed in your book.
The seven models you can choose from:

Moral model
Psychological model
Family model
Disease model
Biological model
Sociocultural model
Multi-causal model

Include the following in your discussion:

– Provide a statement of your personal definition of addiction (This is just how you see addiction and does not have to have any models of addiction to support it.).

Program Proposal Presentation

For your presentation include the following:

Title Information:
Program title and agency sponsoring the program
Target population and developmental stage
Geographic location
The purpose of the program:

Briefly describe the program and its’ introduction to your community. Include a short analysis of any ethical considerations for the deployment of the program using elements of developmental psychology research and practice to support the suggested implementation.

Describe why your program is necessary and appropriate for the chosen group.

Explain the expected outcome(s) from your program and at least one method you will use to assess the outcome(s).

Briefly explain any developmental theory that applies to the utility of this program and the particular group involved.

Evaluate the research that supports the success, or lack of success, for this program?

Program Modification:
Describe modification you would make to the program to improve its’ suitability for your selected group.

Defend why these modifications would improve the program. Include research to support your claims.

Use a presentation tool of your choice to create a visual presentation that includes the required information as well as compelling imagery related to your program. Each image must be retrieved and cited based on current copyright laws.

You may wish to use the PSY605 Where to Get Free (and Legal) Images guide for assistance with accessing freely available public domain images and/or images licensed through Creative Commons. Keep in mind that the goal is to persuade others that this program is both necessary and creative. Regardless of the mode in which you create your presentation, eye-catching visuals can be very powerful. You are encouraged to be creative and choose images you feel help to highlight the positive aspects of your proposed program.

Create a script for your verbal portion of the screencast, in which you walk your audience through the important points of your program. Include APA citations within the body of the script. Utilize a screen casting tool of your choice to record a screencast of up to 7 – 10 minutes displaying your visual presentation as you read your prepared script. It is highly recommended you practice reading through your script while displaying your visual presentation before recording your final product.

In what ways do these policies enhance and/or hinder physical, cognitive, and/or psychosocial development for the affected person? Are there equally effective self-imposed restrictions that might be used instead?

Prior to completing this discussion, read the American Psychological Association (2010), Peters et. al. (2013) and Weed and McKeown (2003) required articles for the week.

For your initial post, evaluate the impact of public policy in regulating behaviors that are deemed detrimental to health and, therefore, affect development across the lifespan.

Using the University of Arizona Global Campus Library, research at least two peer-reviewed articles that explore trends with regard to a debated behavior, either the effects of parental smoking on children/adolescents or childhood/adolescent obesity/diet and exercise (You may use articles from the recommended resources list). Evaluate the unique scholarly perspectives found in your research. In addition, appraise some of the public policies that have been enacted to counter the issues arising from second-hand smoke or poor nutrition/exercise habits on your selected developmental period. Suggest and describe additional or alternate policies that might be enacted to counter the negative aspects of such circumstances.

Using the APA’s Ethical Principles and Code of Conduct (Links to an external site.), analyze ethical considerations in developmental psychology related to the creation and/or implementation of public policy regarding smoking bans or diet/exercise for children or adolescents.

Is the creation of public policy necessary in this area?
Based on the professional standards, is the creation of such policies ethical?
Describe how these types of policies are effective.

In what ways do these policies enhance and/or hinder physical, cognitive, and/or psychosocial development for the affected person?
Are there equally effective self-imposed restrictions that might be used instead?
How would you implement your suggested policy, and how would you plan to test the efficacy of the policy versus self-imposed restrictions?
Use evidence from the resources to support your statements.

Do you agree or disagree with your colleague’s conclusion(s) regarding the positive and/or negative effect(s) of technology within his or her chosen developmental periods?

Development within childhood/adolescence

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, please read the American Psychological Association (2010), Ching-Ting, Ming-Chaun, & Chin-Chung (2014), Kirkorian, Wartella, & Anderson (2008), and Paediatr Child Health (2003) required articles for the week.

For your initial post, you will describe the positive and negative influences of technology on human development during adolescence (ages 13-18).

Using the University of Arizona Global Campus Library, research at least one peer-reviewed article that describes the way(s) in which technology has either positively or negatively influenced physical, cognitive, and/or psychosocial development within childhood or adolescence (e.g., the effects of media violence on aggression or educational products on learning). Describe factors which may mediate the effect(s) of technology within your selected stage (e.g., education, gender, socioeconomic status, culture, or family/parenting). Strive to find recent work, but seminal research on the topic should be considered as well. Evaluate the unique scholarly perspectives found in your research and interpret the implications of technology on human development. Support your perspective(s) with references from the required or peer-reviewed resources. Additionally, conclude with a consideration of relevant ethical concerns (perhaps with regard to policy decisions).

Guided Response: Review several of your colleagues’ posts and respond to at least two of your peers by 11:59 p.m. on Day 7 of the week. You are encouraged to post your required replies earlier in the week to promote more meaningful and interactive discourse in this discussion.

Do you agree or disagree with your colleague’s conclusion(s) regarding the positive and/or negative effect(s) of technology within his or her chosen developmental periods? Whether or not you agree with your colleague’s conclusion(s), describe how one of your colleague’s stated advantages may actually be a disadvantage in the chosen developmental periods or vice versa. Speculate regarding relative advantages and disadvantages in another developmental period (e.g., infancy or adulthood). Suggest mediating factors for the influence(s) of technology that might have been overlooked by your colleague. Continue to monitor the discussion forum until 5:00 p.m. (Mountain Time) on Day 7 of the week and respond to anyone who replies to your initial post.
