Chose a relevant article and Write a paper on Diversity Awareness

Best in Show            As mentioned previously, Best in Show is an attempt to provide perspective to a community that may be obscure for those that do not understand dog show competitions. The film attempts to show quirky (yet passionately portrayed) characters who share a common goal: to win the Mayflower Kennel Club Dog Show. Although there is this similarity, each person (and his/her dog) truly represents completely different personalities that can be explained (in part) by the major components of trait theory. Although you have learned about multiple trait theories, each theory has one underlying principle: people have dispositions that reflect their personality (regardless of the source). The different theories take different approaches as to a.) what a trait comprises; b.) how important a trait is; and c.) the underlying sources that express the trait. Your assignment is to write a 1500-word (minimum) essay that supports how trait theory is depicted in Best in Show. You must explain (while using links from the film) in terms of any of the following theorists: Allport, Cattell, and any “other” trait theorist that we covered in class (e.g., Eyesenck, Costa & McCrae, etc.). All of the following are expected elements of your paper:   An introduction that gives an overview of three characters in the film and a general overview of how your intended theory (see above) explains each character’s traits. A clear characterization of three of the film’s characters in terms of how each person’s behaviors express traits from his/her personality and how elements from your chosen theory pertain the your character’s behaviors. Clear (and specific) demonstrations of how the film supports evidence of each person’s traits. For each film trait comparison, there must be evidence from a minimum of three primary sources that link the film (another required source) to empirical literature on trait theory. An explanation of how these traits may continue to exist in each person after the end of the film. Your assignment will be evaluated by a rubric that covers the following: a.) Introducing your understanding of the film’s characters and  a relevant personality trait theory that pertains to these characters. Worth 5 points. b.) Relevance of your film character examples (how well your examples illustrate what you are trying to say). Worth 10 points. c.) Clear empirical links between your assertions, film evidence, and support from at least FOUR PRIMARY SOURCES (including proper American Psychological Association documentation for these sources). Worth 30 points. d.) A reflective speculation of characters (beyond the film’s end) in your conclusion. 

Select ONE (1) article that interests you the most. Here is the very important part. Write a summary of the article you selected. You should summarize (a) the introduction, (b) the methods section, and (c) the results. Your summary should accurately reflect what the author(s) thought (the introduction), what they did (the methods section), and what they found (the results). Your summary should be a minimum of 300 words. Following your summary, state why you think the article is important OR why the study you selected is important in terms of the real world. This part is purely your personal opinion, but saying that you simply "like" or "dislike" the study is not acceptable. There is a reason for why you selected that article. Tell me why it is is important.

The purpose of this assignment is for students to synthesize all that they have learned throughout the semester. First, choose a target audience for the presentation. The target audience can be a group of people (e.g., athletic trainers, coaches, injured athletes, parents of youth athletes, etc.) or an individual (e.g., a particular athlete or performer who experienced an injury). Then, choose topic(s)/purpose for your presentation considering your target audience (e.g., athletes-decreasing your risk for injury; coaches-understanding the psych side of injury and your impact; athletic trainers-helping injured athletes stay motivated during rehab; injured athlete-restoring confidence and managing anxiety during return from injury).

Instructions Week 3 Around the Web with Cognitive Psychology This assignment is intended to enhance your ability to make connections between the course readings and “real-life” situations and the everyday occurrence of cognitive processes as depicted in popular media and professional research sources. This is your opportunity to express your thoughts succinctly and coherently.  Be creative, but ensure that the reader is able to discern that you can critique the article/media source in a scholarly way that is related to course material. This is a great launching point as you begin brainstorming for the Week 7 Creative Project. Assignment Instructions For this assignment, you are tasked with identifying a research article or reliable, popular media source (news segment, blog article, etc.) that focuses on a topic related to cognitive psychology, cognitive neuroscience, of a specific process or function we have addressed in the first three weeks of the course.  Upon identifying your select media option, you will draft a 5 to 6-page reflection paper, summarizing the media sources’ topic, and its relevance to our understanding of cognition and learning.  Any topic discussed in our readings is fair game but needs to be clearly depicted in the source you chose. In your submission, please be sure to clearly address the following topics: Briefly describe the article/media source you selected (e.g. its plot, characters, themes, etc.).  This description does not need to be lengthy (the entire plot or process explained does not need to be explained; hit the high points). Rather, the summary should be sufficient to demonstrate that you reviewed the article/media source and can convey the most relevant aspects as they relate to cognitive psychology. Describe the cognitive psychology concept.   What does it mean in relation to your article/media source?  How do you see it displayed in the article/media source you chose? What new information have you learned about cognitive psychology and how it is portrayed in the public eye? Does the information portrayed in the article have broader implications for the field of cognitive psychology as it is presented?  Why or why not, and what might the effects be with changes or remaining the same? Close your work with a brief, but succinct summary of the major takeaway points from your exploration around the web with cognitive psychology

Complete the following in your own words. It will be run thru a plagiarism checker. Thanks When conducting or evaluating research, it’s essential to understand when it’s appropriate to use numeric or non-numeric data gathering, analysis, and study. Many careers require an ability to locate, review, and incorporate data and hypothesis testing into outcome-based projects. This assessment requires you to evaluate a quantitative and a qualitative research study. Imagine that you are instructing students about the differences between qualitative and quantitative research, and you are asked to present this information to your class. Use the University Library to research 2 journal articles: one that is based on a quantitative study, and one that is based on a qualitative study. Note: Refer to Table 2.2, “A List of Psychological Journals by Type of Article Published,” located on p. 71 in Ch. 2 of The Process of Research and Statistical Analysis in Psychology, to help you with your search. This list includes both general psychology journals and journals that specialize in a particular area of psychology. Create a 10- to 12-slide slide presentation in which you analyze both the qualitative and quantitative studies. Address the following in your presentation: Describe each study and briefly summarize (be sure to clearly label each type of study as either qualitative or quantitative). Identify the research methods used for each study (e.g., sampling, probability, hypothesis type, testing used to address the problem statement). Explain the outcomes from each study. Differentiate between quantitative and qualitative research with specific examples from each study. Discuss any threats to validity or bias that you may have seen.  Each slide must have 6 to 7 bullet points with 5 to 6 words for each point plus speaker notes. The bulk of your explanation will go in the speaker notes. This is where you will write and put what you would say when giving this presentation to your audience. This is an academic presentation; therefore, keep the bells and whistles to a minimum and make this a clean, professional-looking presentation. It is a visual presentation, so tasteful and related images are expected and appropriate. You also want to select a professional design template; no white backgrounds.
