*The Topic Im Choosing Is Social Media And How It Affects Children In School.*

please use Psyc-Info to find FIVE peer-reviewed research 

articles that present research related to the topic that you have selected.

Please make sure that

these papers present new, original research.  They should each have a “participants” section; 

this is one important way to tell if the article presents new empirical research.

APA format is Very important in this class !

Specifics about how to turn in the assignment:

Page 1)  APA style title page.  Don’t forget about the running head and the page numbers!

Make sure to use 12-point Times Font, double spaced consistently (no extra spaces).

Your

book has an example cover page on page 349.  Please use this as a model.

Page 2) Paragraph describing your topic. You can explain why it is important, or why you want

to learn more about it, or why you think more research should be conducted on the topic.  Don’t

forget the running head and the page numbers (

keep it consistent with APA style – see the

example APA paper that starts on page 349 of your text.  The running head looks different on

page 1 compared to the other pages in an APA style documen

t)!

Page 3) APA style reference section where you will list each of the articles that you found on

your time spent with Psyc-Info.  You should have FIVE at this time (however if you would like

to include more, feel free to…but not necessary). Again, don’t forget the running head and page

numbers!

Page 4)  Appendix.  Treat this as an APA-Style Appendix Section and keep the running heads

and page numbers.  You will present the following information for each article that is included in

your reference section (will be easiest if you make a table to present the information).  It is very

basic at this point, don’t worry, we’ll get much more detailed in later assignments!!



Title of the article



Authors of the article



How many participants were studied in the research?  Basic age/gender/racial

composition/socioeconomic status/occupational/school information?



Where was the research conducted?  (a laboratory?  Classrooms?  Families’ homes?)



Name of the Journal where the research was published – be sure to spell out the whole

name, not using abbreviations (APA style does not use abbreviations for journal titles)

Example of how to present the information for each of your five articles (based on one of

your professor’s recent articles- feel free to use this table but insert the information from your

own papers).

Week 2 – Discussion

Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Refer to the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric under the Settings icon above for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.

Initial Assessment

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, please read Chapters 2, 6, and 7 in DSM-5 Made Easy: The Clinician’s Guide to Diagnosis. Additionally, please watch the video Beer Is Cheaper than Therapy: Fort Hood’s PTSD Problem . (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

For this discussion, the patient for whom you wrote your transcript in the Week One Initial Call discussion has come to your office for a 15-minute initial assessment. As part of the intake process, you have asked the patient to fill out a biographical form that contains the same information included in the case study. Based on this information, propose three questions you would ask the patient to determine a diagnosis and treatment plan.

Provide a transcript of this brief initial session including your three questions and the answers you would expect the prospective patient to give. Beneath the transcript, provide a rationale for each of the three questions you proposed. Include the case study title you chose for your Week One Initial Call discussion post.

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 interactive discourse in this discussion.

Examine your colleague’s transcript, and write an evaluation of the prospective patient’s apparent symptoms and presenting problem(s) within the context of a theoretical orientation. Theoretical orientations are based on the personality theories you learned about in PSY615, and are referred to as “approaches” in Abnormal and Clinical Psychology: An Introductory Textbook.

Remember that symptoms may not be explicitly mentioned by the patient, but they may be inferred by the patient’s presenting problem(s). Summarize views of these symptoms from at least two historical perspectives. For instance, how have these symptoms have been conceptualized and understood, historically? Finally, suggest diagnostic manuals and handbooks besides the DSM-5 that might be used to assess this patient.

 Details:

Using search options, and solid research articles investigate the group MS-13. In 1,000-1,500 words, relate the following information on MS-13:

1. Summarize the background of MS-13.
2. Describe how social structure or social process theory apply to MS-13 group; if both apply, explain how they apply and if neither applies explain why.
3. Explain how social structure or social process theory can be used to explain why the people committed the crime.
4. Describe how social structure or social process theorists would view this specific case.
5. Explain significant studies used by the theorists and how the studies might apply to understanding the case.
6. Explain which subtheory of social structure and/or social process theory apply to this group and why.

Use two to three scholarly resources to support your explanations.

M3 Assignment 1: Applying to Graduate School 

In the first two modules, you explored your career options and identified available positions related to your interests. You also determined which of these positions requires a master’s or a doctoral degree. For this assignment, research graduate school programs for the selected career using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet.

Tasks

In the Discussion Area, address the following:

• Select one of the careers that require graduate-level degrees.
• Identify at least three graduate school programs you would consider attending. For example, if you hope to become a licensed professional counselor (LPC), you would first need to earn a master’s degree at the very least. You would want to research programs that provide master’s degrees in counseling. Include research on whether you would fulfill the requirements for licensure in your state of residence if you completed those specific programs. Cover the following:
  • Indicate which license you would seek and which programs would or would not prepare you to be eligible for licensure.
  • If you want to become licensed, ensure that these programs meet your state’s requirements for licensure. For example, if you wish to become an LPC, you would have to review the American Association of State Counseling Boards and locate your state’s licensing board website address.
• For each of the three graduate school programs, research and discuss the institution’s accreditation. You may find that many state licensing boards require programs to be regionally accredited.
  • You might want to review the US Department of Education’s Database of Accredited Postsecondary Institutions and Programs to determine whether the school is regionally accredited.
  • Most states also require a specialized accreditation for licensure as an LPC or a psychologist. For counseling licenses, most states honor programs that have the CACREP designation. For psychology licenses, APA accreditation is usually required. Find programs with the CACREP designation.
• Discuss any concerns you may have about applying to or attending graduate school. List any questions you have about the application or licensure process.
• Provide at least two authoritative references or sources for the information you have discussed. One of these can be the textbook.

 

• All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources. Use this APA Citation Helper as a convenient reference for properly citing resources.

Review the provided literature regarding current trends and   integrative models of family therapy. Research two evidence-based or   integrative models of couples or family therapy and compose a   6-12-slide PowerPoint presentation to be shared with your class. Be   sure to include the following elements for each of the two models:

1. A brief overview of the model
2. The target demographic     and presenting concerns the model addresses
3. The research     supporting the model
4. Please note: Online students need to     include detailed speaker notes of what would be said if giving the     presentation in person.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment,   solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources   should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be   found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
