Many people think that a person with a mental disorder is weak, dangerous, and incurable. Explain why this is not necessarily common and offer your thoughts on why these myths came about…and continue to linger.
Scenario: Pathways High School
Pathways is an alternative high school. Pathways allows students with behavior challenges to complete their high school experience with a more flexible and positive approach. Their mission is to create an environment that allows students to consistently exceed expectations, maintain high levels of student and family satisfaction, and meet cost effectiveness standards. They strive to provide the highest education possible to students from a variety of communities and cultural backgrounds.
Acme, Inc., assisted Pathways with the creation of individual behavior intervention plans (BIP) for students displaying high levels of inappropriate behaviors. In addition, ACME used behavior skills training (BST) to train all staff on the basics of ABA and how to implement each BIP.
A behavior management division headed by a full-time behavior specialist at the school is responsible for implementing the plans that were originally created in collaboration with Pathways’ staff. In addition, Acme is responsible for ongoing staff training and monitoring the effectiveness of each plan.
You are asked to do a follow-up to determine the success of the procedures that were put in place. In addition, you are asked to conduct some inter-observer Agreement (IOA) probes and determine whether the staff has maintained the skills taught during training.
You are provided with a variety of data to analyze and will need to use the data to determine the effectiveness of the current interventions.
The behavior specialist has been collecting and compiling data and presents them in the figures displayed in the Spreadsheet.
Figure 1: Summary of comments from staff questionnaires related to the success of the intervention and satisfaction with training.
Figure 2: Line graph of the frequency of aggressive behavior incidents for the entire school reported before (Baseline) and after (Treatment) the program began.
Figure 3: Frequency data from an observation session with two different teachers and one student’s behavior. Figure 3 reflects the frequency of physical aggression during the sessions.
Figure 4: Data from Staff Integrity Checklist.
You must now review the data and present a summary of your findings to your supervisor at ACME, Inc., as well as the school. You should include the following in your summary:
Your paper should be a minimum of 3–4 pages in length, include current APA formatting (including properly formatted headings for each section of your plan), and include at least two academic references (including your course readings).
You are a preschool teacher & your students show signs of prejudice & discrimination. Describe how you could implement cooperation, common goals, increased contact, & cognitive retraining to help reduce these attitudes & behaviors.

Based on the content in “A Class Divided,” are children immune to the attitudes and behaviors of other group members? Explain.
In what ways might important developmental milestones influence social development in childhood?
Based on psychological evidence, should antisocial behavior in adulthood be primarily blamed on impaired socialization as a child? If so, what types of interventions might help to remediate these impairments? If not, what do you think leads to adult antisocial behavior?
Can you teach children tolerance and inclusiveness if they are already indoctrinated by societal intolerance? What if the children in “A Class Divided” had never had a follow-up class explaining brown eyes as an indicator of the smart people?
How does the concept of development of the social self apply to any of the following programmatic course themes:
Self-care
Social justice
Emotional intelligence
Career connections
Ethics
Why were the psychoanalytically-based explanations of autism, such as those of Bettelheim and Mahler, taken seriously in the 1950s and 1960s? Why have psychoanalytic/psychotherapeutic approaches to understanding autism (see, for example, Tustin, 1981/1995, 1991) continued to have a role in treating children and adults with ASD and supporting their families?

Scenario
You are a research assistant for a faculty member in the Department of Psychology at a university. You have been asked to develop a research plan focused on one of the topics the faculty member is interested in studying.
For this project, you will review the topics provided by your faculty member and select the topic that interests you most. Then you will use the library to find relevant empirical and scholarly research studies to inform the research. Finally, you will develop a research plan to submit to your faculty member.
Directions
Topic: Income and Happiness for Adults in the U.S.

• Select 3 relevant empirical and scholarly research studies for the plan. Write a summary of each individual article. Each summary should be about 150 to 250 words. with citations within text
2.Develop a clear and specific research question that is relevant to the three research studies you chose. Your response should be about 25 words.
