“NO PLIAGARISM“
You are required to write a 2000-word critique of a media article about a cyberpsychology topic, which must be supported by reference to relevant academic theory and literature, from the field of cyberpsychology and beyond. You should write in formal, academic language, as you would in a traditional academic essay.
You must choose one of the articles in the table below, and in your critique, you should take care to include:
– An introductory paragraph explaining what the article is about and what research study or studies, if any, it is based on.
– Careful, in-depth discussion of the accuracy of the points in the article.
o Backed up by reference to relevant academic research and theory.
– Critical evaluation of the research studies and theories you are citing in your critique.
– References to other studies relevant to the topic.
– A concluding paragraph summing up how well the media article represents what the scientific research has shown.
– A reference list, in APA format (this does not count towards the word limit)
You may also find it useful to consider, in the closing paragraphs your critique:
– Possible implications of the media article (are there any likely harms/benefits of the article being published, based on how well it does or does not represent what the academic literature suggests is true?)
– What future research is needed to confirm or refute possibly unsubstantiated claims in the article?
The module leader will upload lecture slides and video, and give tips and answer questions, during teaching weeks 9 and 12.
While you will pick an article about one particular issue/area of cyberpsychology for this assessment, each week’s session will provide you with opportunities to develop your knowledge of cyberpsychological theory and literature, and to practise your critical evaluation skills. All of this will contribute to your ability to produce a convincing critique for your assessment, so regular attendance at all the sessions is very important to help you get the best possible grade.
The learning outcomes that you should be aiming to achieve in this work are:
1) Demonstrate knowledge of key cyber-psychological theory.
2) Appraise and apply theory from a range of disciplines to explain human behaviour in the online world.
3) Critically evaluate the role of the Internet in human lives.
4) Present and articulate research findings effectively, concisely and professionally.
Have you ever, or do you currently own a pet? Many pet owners are very fond of their furry (or crawly, or slithery) friends, however, do they help decrease our stress levels? In the past 10-15 years, scientists have been pursuing research on that very question.
We won’t specifically focus on the topic of stress until the end of this 8-week course, though it is related to many other topics and will come up intermittently.
That said, this assignment should give you a good introduction to the idea, as well as, ways that we might do research on a psychological component (stress) and a physical component (blood pressure) that is related to long-term outcomes such as illness/death.
For this assignment read the following two short articles, which focus mostly on whether pets help to decrease blood pressure.
Are Pets a Healthy Pleasure? The Influence of Pets on Blood Pressure Karen Allen (2003)
The Impact of Pets on Human Health and Psychological Well-Being: Fact, Fiction, or Hypothesis? | Harold Herzog (2011)
Then, answer the following questions;
In both articles a study focused on the stress response in stockbrokers by Allen, Shykoff, & Izzo, (2001), is mentioned.
The next several questions will ask you about the research methods used in that study.
Participants were RANDOMLY ASSIGNED to one of two conditions.
What was the EXPERIMENTAL condition and what was the CONTROL condition?
What was the INDEPENDENT variable?
What was the DEPENDENT variable?
What were the researcher’s basic conclusions?
What are some of the benefits to pet ownership discussed in either of the two articles?
What are some of the drawbacks to pet ownership that may detract from potential benefits to health?
Take some time to name and discuss other activities or relationships that are more effective than pet ownership for managing stress and/or improving health.

Industrial organizational research psychology seventh edition 2016 paul Spector. Wiley global education
Discuss the ways in which generational stress and social oppression may have an impact on marginalized populations (examples include issues such as increased negative health outcomes, increased rates of depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder [PTSD], increased risk for substance abuse, and higher suicide rate).
State the specific marginalized population you are researching.
Identify specific social justice advocacy skills you can utilize to help this population.
Imagine the ways in which you would use these skills in various clinical settings.
Use your readings and a minimum of 2 additional peer-reviewed journal articles to help in answering this question.
The application of applied behavior analysis (ABA) in organizations.
In this assignment, you will play the role of a behavior-consulting intern. You are working as a behavior consulting intern for Acme, Inc. Your company is taking on a new client, Shoreside Community-Based Residential Facility. You will prepare a presentation consisting of a narrated Power Point addressing the following scenario.
Scenario: Shoreside Community-Based Residential FacilityShoreside would like your company to provide consultation in their unit for adults with traumatic brain injury. Shoreside management and staff have expressed a concern over increasing rates of disruptive behavior during community outings and have had little success with their current interventions. They believe they may need assistance with staff training and behavior management Techniques.The company uses some Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) with their clients but has never used ABA at an organizational level. The Director recently learned about Organizational Behavior Management (OBM) and wants to know more about how basic concepts of ABA could be used at Shoreside. The Director of Shoreside believes this would be an effective way to address the problems within the organization.You have been tasked with conducting a preliminary assessment using the first few steps of the problem-solving model: Pinpointing and Measurement, as well as providing an overview of what the process will look like at Shoreside. Your manager has asked you to make a presentation to management and staff to provide more information about OBM and how fundamental principles of behavior can be used in the organization. Additionally, Shoreside is skeptical that the same principles they use with their clients could be applied to staff within the organization.
Using what you have learned about OBM and fundamental principles of behavior, you must create a narrated PowerPoint presentation (minimum of 12 slides) consisting of the following:
Provide an overview of Organizational Behavior Management (OBM):
Define and describe OBM.
Identify and describe at least one specific application of OBM that is applicable to the above organization.
Provide an overview of the problem-solving process:
Describe the steps of a behavior analytic problem-solving model for organizations.
Identify the role that individuals within organizations hold in relation to the successful planning and implementation of interventions.
Describe how problems are prioritized and addressed.
Define and describe fundamental principles of behavior and provide
examples of how this is applied on an organizational level. Use non-technical language, when possible, so that all those attending the meeting understand your discussion:
Reinforcement and punishment
Define positive and negative reinforcement and punishment.
Provide general examples illustrating the principles.
Utilize the ABC Model and conduct a PIC/NIC analysis for one behavior using the following information from an observation at shoreside:
re with 2 staff members and a group leader. One client started engaging in grabbing items off the shelf and yelling. Staff member #1 immediately yelled at the client, which is not the correct protocol reviewed by the behavior analyst prior to the outing. The Group Leader saw this and then turned away and began talking to Staff member #2. Staff member #2 gave attention to another client for asking to look at items before picking them up. The Group Leader was observed to be holding his phone and scrolling through social media throughout the remainder of the outing.
ABC (PIC/NIC) Analysis
Provide one example of a PIC/NIC analysis for Shoreside utilizing the following table in your presentation to organize the information.
Antecedents
Consequence
P/N
I/F
C/U
The problem performance (occurring now): List the staff behavior for change here
The desired performance: List the desired staff behavior here
Reinforcement and Punishment
Describe the result of the PIC/NIC analysis.
Discuss the roles of positive and negative reinforcement.
5. Identify 1 pinpoint for change at Shoreside and identify the measurement to be used.
Include an operational definition for the staff behavior to be changed.
Describe how behavior will be measured by selecting a measurement type, i.e., frequency, duration, and how the data will be collected.
6. Introduce the next steps in the problem-solving process:
Provide a general overview of the problem-solving process
Include a research question related to a potential intervention based on the pinpoint identified.
Describe why using a behavior analytic approach on all levels of the organization is preferred over a non-scientific approach and how the principles of ABA can be used to improve performance in organizations.
Narrated Power Point:
Create a 5–10-minute presentation by narrating your Power Point slides. Your narration should share key ideas expanding on the bullet points located on each of your Power Point slides.
Write your speaking points from your narration of your presentation in the notes section for each corresponding slide.
Draw from the course material and briefly elaborate on the concepts covered in each slide.
Presentation should be a high quality and professional presentation that would be presented by a behavior analyst in the given scenario.
Your PowerPoint presentation should have an APA Style title page and reference page. The sources of the information used in the preparation of your presentation should be cited with in-text citations in APA Style and should be reflected on your reference page.
Your PowerPoint should be a minimum of 12 slides in length, not including title and reference pages, include proper APA formatting (including properly formatted headings for each section of your plan), and include at least two academic references (including your course text)
Baby and Toddler Toys
Visit the following website Fisher Price (Links to an external site.), which presents suggested toys and activities for babies according to their age and developmental level. Once you access the website, select one age range and answer the following questions for each:
(1) What developmental information is presented on the website? Is it consistent with research presented in the text?
(2) How do the recommended toys appeal to infants’ and toddlers’ developing learning capacities?
(3) Do the featured toys promote perceptual development?
(4) Based on what you have learned about stimulation, are the toys appropriate for the specified age range? Why or why not?
Development Experiment Proposal
Thus far this term we have read about numerous research studies that have been completed with the goal of understanding some aspect of human development. It is now your turn to try your hand a designing a research study.
What is an area of human development that particularly interests you? Is there a theory that we have studied this far that you think needs more research? Pick an area that is interesting to you.
You will not be conducting this research; however, go through the steps of developing a study including: selecting a research question, developing a Hypothesis, designing an experiment, and identifying which data elements you will want to analyze.
You can do this in paragraph form, outline form, or a combination there of; whichever allows you to best communicate your research proposal. This finished document should be 2-3 pages in length
