Make sure that your initial response to the question contains atleast 2 cited academic sources to support the ideas that you raise.

(1) In considering various forms of psychopathology researchers haveoften focused on the role of social and psychological variables. Inrecent years, however, many studies have been conducted which haveinvestigated the role of biological factors as they relate to differentforms of child/adolescent psychopathology (e.g., mental retardation,ADHD, autism, anorexia nervosa, etc.). Discuss the evidence thatbiological factors contribute to childhood psychopathology, focusingprimarily on ADHD. In your answer you should cite evidence related tothe role of such factors in a range of disorders with “biological’ beingconsidered in the broad sense of the word (e.g., genetic, structural,biochemical, etc.). Critically evaluate the research findings you cite.

(2) Many social scientists have commented on the adult hypocrisy thatcan accompany childhood socialization. For example, “Do as I say, notas I do” has been around for a long time. One of the topics in thischapter is substance abuse problems among children and adolescents.Some years ago, one of the Drug Council public service messages ontelevision depicted a father who had caught his son in the act of usingmarijuana. The father, in an agitated and incredulous tone of voice,announces: “Where did you get this?!……where did you find out aboutthis stuff?!” The imp replies in an anguished tone: “I learned it fromYOU!!……that’s where I got it……from YOU!!” I would like for youto share how they feel about this kind of hypocrisy and how you thinkchildhood and adolescent socialization contributes to conduct problems

Homework Questions

The journal should include the following three components: (1) Self-awareness, (2) Critical Analyses, and (3) Action Plan. The critical self-awareness component should be short, no longer than a couple of paragraphs. It should narrate an occurrence of daily systemic oppression. The critical analyses portion should critically analyze, in light of the literature, how that particular occurrence of systemic oppression that the student described has been normalized in our society. The action plan should include specific, measurable, and realistic actions that the student can take to raise her/his awareness of systemic oppression.

You should write your paper and cite any references following APA style from the American Psychological Association Publication Manual, 6th edition. Each paper must not exceed 6 pages in length, plus the title page and the reference page(s), and should have a minimum of 5 references from scientific journals or books. You can use references from the syllabus or from other sources. In addition, you can also include non-academic references in any format including excerpts from radio programs, videos, newspapers, etc.

You will not be graded on your feelings or the “acceptability” of any ideological positions you take. The criteria for evaluation are clarity of writing, logic or arguments, sound reasoning, and a specific and feasible intervention.

Specifically, the grading criteria for this assignment is as follows:

● Self-awareness (8 points)

● Critical-based analyses (12 points)

● Action plan (10 points)

● Correct use of APA style (5 points)

● Quality of writing (5 points)

: Between the Articles, choose 4 concepts or themes to reflect upon. This will require synthesis of concepts across materials. 6 full page minimum. SINGLE SPACE!!

Reflection:Between the Articles, choose 4 concepts or themes to reflect upon. This will require synthesis of concepts across materials. 6 full page minimum.

Formatting Requirements: Single space, 12 pt. font, 1 in margins, Justified (or sometimes called block) formatting, 1 1/2 -2 pages, Word document. If you are uncertain as to what any of this means, I suggest you refer to the example posted in the Syllabus section and visually compare to your own.

Concept: Blah, blah, blah.

Personal Reaction: Blah, blah, blah.

Professional Use: Blah, blah, blah.

(Repeat for the 2nd concept)

Briefly provided your understanding of the concept, comment on your personal reaction to the concept, and your professional opinion of how it would be useful with examples (or how you might struggle with it). Students will receive full credits for all completed reflections that are turned in on time that meet the criteria above. You will post them to Blackboard prior to the class meeting. Please make the reflection an attached document – not in the body of the post. It must also be in Word.

Project 2 Description

Project two also uses the Method of Adjustment to find a difference threshold. In this project the method of Adjustment is applied to the T illusion. This illusion again demonstrates how our perception of visual phenomena can be influenced by the position of stimuli in relation to each other. As in project 1 you are to do 20 trials of the T illusion. After each trial you are to click the Show Results button and record the percentage shown. Unlike Project 1, the percentage result shown is not a difference but the actual percentage length of the vertical line compared to the horizontal line. After you have recorded the 20 percentages, add them up and get the total, then divide the total by 20. This number is the average percentage length of your adjusted vertical line compared to the horizontal line. Now you have one extra step to do. Take your average vertical line percentage and subtract it from 100%. That result is your difference threshold expressed as a percentage difference between the length of the horizontal and vertical lines. In other words the illusion caused you to see the lines as equal in length when they were actually xx% different.

Use your results to write up your project using the sample project (found on the course shell) as a guide. Your write up will be similar to project 1 except that the illusion used is different. Be sure to read about the T illusion above the Project 2 description
