Does it REALLY help?

Assignment Objectives:

  1. Recognize major historical events, theoretical perspectives and figures in psychology and their link to trends in current research.

Watch the following video, then read and follow the instructions below:

Instructions:

Functionalism is a school of thought that considers mental and behavioral structures to each serve a purpose. So, rather than looking at the structure of the mind, functionalists are primarily concerned with how each structure helps us adapt to our environment. For FIVE of the following mental constructs, clearly and logically describe a purpose served by the construct. For example: Color vision is useful because it allows us to more easily tell if fruit is ripe. Fruit is a main staple of our diet so this ability helps us (pre grocery store) to find food more easily.

  1. pain
  2. shyness
  3. love
  4. anger
  5. fear
  6. laughter
  7. socializing
  8. dreaming
  9. memory
  10. hunger

Psychology Question

Before you begin the assignment:

  • Read Chapter 14 in your Discovering Statistics Using IBM SPSS Statistics
  • Review the first half of the video tutorial (up to 6:43) for helpful information to answer the questions in this assignment. Please disregard the second half of the video that discusses conducting a repeated-measures analysis (ANOVA), as this is not needed for this assignment.
  • Access and open the Snake Anxiety SPSS data set.

An overview of the data set:

This data set represents hypothetical data from a study that examined the level of anxiety that people with a snake phobia felt in three different scenarios. The same people were tested in each scenario. That is, each person experienced all three conditions.

Here is some more information about the variables in this hypothetical data set:

  • Number: This is the ID number of the participant
  • See_Distance: This is participants’ anxiety (scores could range from 40 to 100, with high numbers indicating higher anxiety) when they saw a large snake that was about 20 feet away.
  • See_Close: This is participants’ anxiety (scores could range from 40 to 100, with high numbers indicating higher anxiety) when they saw a large snake that was about 5 feet away.
  • Touch: This is participants’ anxiety (scores could range from 40 to 100, with high numbers indicating higher anxiety) when they touched a large snake.

 

Questions:

1) Briefly explain in your own words the difference between a between-subjects design and repeated measures design.

 

2a) Examine the means of the three anxiety conditions.

2b) Describe the differences that you see between the means.

 

3a) Conduct a dependent samples t-test on See_Distance and See_Close.

3b) Report the results of this test in APA style. Refer to Tips for Reporting Statistics in APA Style for help with formatting your results in APA style.

 

4) Make up and describe a specific experiment that would call for a repeated measures ANOVA. Be sure to describe each level of the independent variable(s) and to describe the dependent variable. Explain why a repeated measures ANOVA would be necessary for this experiment.

Bowen Approach Worksheet for Couples

Assume you work with couples from a Bowenian perspective, and a majority of your work is done through teletherapy. You develop a handout/worksheet you can give to clients that explains your approach and allows them to consider some of these ideas outside of therapy. This handout explains couple differentiation and specific intervention for them to do at home between sessions. The intervention will be designed to help clients increase their levels of differentiation, which will help them connect without being so reactive. Follow these guidelines in designing the brochure/handout (Note: Brochures/handouts should be readable and can include lists, bullets, or graphics rather than complete paragraphs):

1. Explain/define differentiation in lay terminology so that it is clear to your client.

2. Provide a brief discussion of the Bowen approach to working with relationships.

3. Describe at least one intervention designed to increase differentiation in relationships that couples can do at home, in between sessions (you can use one in the research or be creative, as long as it connects to the Bowen model goals).

4. Discuss the role that extended family can play in the current relationship (strengths and challenges)

5. Create a section that embraces cultural differences that might exist around the idea of differentiation and extended family expectations.

6. Provide a brief summary of teletherapy and what clients should expect for this setting.

Were they able to balance the analytical needs of the organization or team with their emotional connection with the team?
