You only need to use one scale to measure your dependent variable. If you’re having trouble finding a scale, let me know and we can talk through some options! – Procedure:

What are some small steps that a 30-year-old patient can take now that can help reduce some of the negative physical consequences that they could experience at 50-years-old? Address at least 2 of the 6 listed

Discussion #6

Not an essay but for a discussion post
Question 1: In your readings this week, there is an extensive discussion on the physical decline that adults in their middle adulthood may likely face. What are some small steps that a 30-year-old patient can take now that can help reduce some of the negative physical consequences that they could experience at 50-years-old? Address at least 2 of the 6 listed:

Diet
Exercise
Substance use, abuse, dependence (caffeine, nicotine, THC, etc.)
Stress
Sleep
Sexual behaviors

Question 2: You are likely aware that a person’s cognitive functioning can affect their social and emotional well-being. For this discussion, you will be responsible for integrating the concepts of chapters 15 and 16. The textbook tells us that the number of relationships may decline in middle adulthood, just as processing speed and working memory may also decline.

What are some ways that people can integrate social activities/ make friends or nurture the relationships that they have, while simultaneously improving their cognitive functioning?

Some examples may include activities like:

Dance lessons
Choir
Chess clubs, etc.

Minimum of 2 sources cited (assigned readings/online lessons and an outside source)

“How did Mrs. C. get to be this way?”briefly outline a plan for treating Mrs. C., based on your preferred theory.

What Happened to Mrs. C

In this 4-to-6-page thought paper, you will revisit the question from your initial discussion forum assignment, “How did Mrs. C. get to be this way?” This time, however, you will draw on your knowledge, gleaned from course readings to date, as well as any supplementary reading you have done from the book you have chosen as your required additional reading.

Your analysis should be an application of the theory that you find most appealing from all of those we have studied so far.

Tell what you would see as the etiology of Mrs. C’s problems (not her diagnosis), according to this theory. Use and apply as much detail from the theory as possible.

Then contrast your theory of the cause/s of her problem with the causes that would be suggested by two other systems that we have studied. Then, briefly outline a plan for treating Mrs. C., based on your preferred theory.

Finally, show some ways in which you are integrating common factors of psychotherapy theory with specific factors from your preferred theory in formulating your treatment plan.

Analyze it from a social psychological perspective. That is, make social psychology “real” by discussing how an actual social event can be understood by invoking the social psychological theory and research we have talked and/or read about in class.

Social Psychology in The Real World

Assignment:

Pick a real world current event and analyze it from a social psychological perspective. That is, make social psychology “real” by discussing how an actual social event can be understood by invoking the social psychological theory and research we have talked and/or read about in class.

 

What is the biggest difference between what you thought would make you happy when you were younger and what did make you happy as you got older?What were some of the differences? Do you think happiness means something vastly different for younger vs. older people? Explain.

Watch this TED talk by Robert Waldinger, psychiatrist and professor at Harvard Medical School. He discusses some of the results of the Grant study, which has followed groups of men over a 75 year, longitudinal study, and explains some of the factors leading to a happy life.

How do you define happiness for yourself?
Do you consider yourself a happy person right now?
What do you need in your life in order to be happy now and in the future?
Who are the people in your life who affect your happiness?
Did you feel the same way when you were my age?
What is the biggest difference between what you thought would make you happy when you were younger and what did make you happy as you got older?

Write a 4-5 page paper that synthesizes and reflects upon the responses to these questions. As you write the paper, compare and contrast your own answers to the questions and those provided by the older person you interviewed. Were there similarities in your answers? What were some of the differences? Do you think happiness means something vastly different for younger vs. older people? Explain.
