Social Psychology

Read Chapter 4, Social Psychology (9th ed.) by Aronson, Wilson, Akert, & Sommers.
Written assignment requirements:

  • apply some concepts from chapter 4
  • At least 2 full pages (text fills 80% or more of second page)
  • 1 inch margins, 12 point font, Times New Roman, double-spaced
  • Do not include the thought question prompts, but please mark your answers with the corresponding numbers for each question (1, 2, 3, etc.)
  • Avoid unnecessary space in your header or between paragraphs

Points will be deducted if assignments do not meet these requirements, so please be careful.
The questions uploaded in word file.
The goal of Question 1 is to provide you with some practice in identifying consensus, consistency, and distinctiveness information in an everyday situation that is not as obvious as the examples we have given in class. For this example, don’t worry about coming up with an internal or external attribution. Instead, try to figure out if Alejandra’s movie recommendation is actually going to be something you will like. There is a lot of room for interpretation here, so there isn’t necessarily one right answer. I want you to come up with some examples of questions you would ask about consensus, consistency, and distinctiveness to help you figure out if Alejandra is actually accurate in guessing that you will like this movie. If it helps, Alejandra is considered the actor here.
Question 3 mentions “defensive attributions” that can explain how people may react to homeless people. Self-serving attributions and our bias blind spot would be examples of defensive attributions.

Family Systems Approach to Addictions

Unit 6 Assignment 1
Family Systems Approach to Addictions
Read the Family Systems Approach to Addictions Scoring Guide to learn how the instructor will evaluate your assignment.
For this assignment, consider one of the optional articles listed for this unit, or locate a peer-reviewed journal article in the Capella library that discusses the application of a family systems approach to a specific addiction (substance use disorder or gambling disorder). You will notice that some articles describe treatment interventions from a systemic viewpoint that focuses on the family unit rather than on the individual for treatment interventions. In contrast, others will describe systemic interventions that are intended to be among the treatment modalities (such as individual and group) that will be included as part of treatment for addiction for a clearly identified individual client.
Considering the systemic interventions described in the selected article, analyze the following:
What may be advantages or disadvantages of the systemic intervention based upon whether the family or the individual is the focus of treatment?
How does the intervention fit within a model of addiction? (See Unit 2.)
How applicable is the intervention to diverse families and couples?
Note that additional scholarly literature will be needed to support your analysis.
Follow these assignment requirements:
Written communication: Written communication is thoughtful and free of errors that detract from the overall message.
APA formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to APA (6th edition) style and formatting.
Resources: Use one course or library article and a minimum of four scholarly sources.
Length of paper: 3–4 typed, double-spaced pages.
Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point.

Criminal Behavior

 
Assignment 3: Select a Specific Criminal Behavior
The goal of this course is to create a prevention plan for a specific criminal behavior. Throughout the course, you will complete interrelated assignments in each module that build toward the LASA assignment, a prevention plan.
The first step toward this end is to identify a specific criminal behavior for which you will develop a prevention program. The first chapter of the textbook describes a variety of criminal behavior problems, such as status crimes, juvenile offenders, and drug abuse.
Once you select the criminal behavior, you should do a preliminary literature search to ensure that you will have ready access to scholarly resources.
Create a 2- to 3-page paper describing your selected criminal behavior. You must consider the following when creating your paper:

  • Describe the criminal behavior in detail, including any research you have found on the origins or development of this behavior (in approximately 1 page).
  • Discuss the specific target area you want to address in the problem (in approximately 1 paragraph).
  • Describe the specific group you want to focus on from among those affected by the criminal problem, i.e., juveniles, women, etc.
  • Describe the possible prevention and intervention ideas (in approximately 1 page).
  • Discuss research support for the effectiveness of your proposed prevention or intervention ideas (in approximately 2–3 paragraphs).

For example, suppose you pick juvenile sex offenders and want to develop a prevention program for adolescent sex offenders. Specifically, you want to target risk factors associated with that population.
Support your assumptions by citing reputable source material used for this assignment in APA format.
Assignment 3 Grading Criteria Maximum Points
Described the criminal behavior and described the specific group on which you want to focus on. 24
