Behaviorism and psychoanalysis

Discussion
Behaviorism and psychoanalysis  (or psychodynamic theory—not the psychotherapy approach) are sometimes  considered theoretically opposite. However, they share some  characteristics in common.
In a similar way, one could consider humanistic and cognitive  psychology to be quite different, yet there are areas of common ground  here as well. Thinking about similarities and differences of schools of  thought can help us understand their unique characteristics.
Choose two schools of thought (the mental testing movement,  behaviorism, psychoanalytic theory, humanistic psychology, cognitive  psychology, or psychobiology) and discuss how they differ. What  distinguishes the schools of thought from each other, in terms of their  principles, values, subject matter, research approaches, and applied  methods? Also address which factors they share with each other, using  the aforementioned attributes as they apply. Remember that we are  exploring comprehensive theories of human nature and behavior, not  psychotherapeutic techniques (for example, cognitive behavioral therapy  or psychoanalytic therapy).

natural selection

BIOL 4 Homework #3

Short Answer

1. A gene 1,440 is base pairs long and codes for an enzyme composed of only 192 amino acids. Discuss why this discrepancy might exist.

2. Errors in transcription occur about 100,000 times as often as errors in DNA replication. Why can this high rate be tolerated in RNA synthesis, but not DNA synthesis?

3. A number of efforts are underway to identify human genetic polymorphisms that correlate with multifactorial diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. What would be the uses of such information? What concerns do you think there might be about this kind of testing?

4. In what ways is artificial selection different from natural selection? Darwin used his knowledge of artificial selection extensively to develop and support his arguments for evolution via natural selection. Was this a wise choice?

5. In a population with 600 members, the numbers of individuals of three different genotypes are AA = 350, Aa = 100, aa = 150.

a. What are the genotype frequencies in this population?

1. AA =

Questions for summary (discussed in class):
1.Which questions were addressed by the authors for this particular paper?
2.What does “empirically derived” mean?
3.How do the authors justify the questions asked?
4.What is considered to be “modern extinction”?
5.What are the five vertebrate taxa considered in this study?
6.The authors focused on using conservative rates of modern extinction in

extinction” is still justified. They used two different categories: “highly
conservative rates” and “conservative rates”. What were the criteria used
for each category (see Table 1)?
7.Why is 1900 considered separately from 1500 as the time for modern
extinction rates?
8.What was the range found for modern extinction rate in relation to
background extinction rates?
9.How many years would it have taken for the vertebrates that went
extinct in the last century to go extinct if the background extinction rate
had prevailed?
10.According to the authors, how does the loss of biodiversity affect
human well-being?
11.Outside of human well-being, why do you think we should care about the
loss of biodiversity?
12.What do the authors conclude from this analysis?
13.On a human time scale, do the authors consider the loss of biodiversity
(and biodiversity benefits) permanent? Why or why not?

Elizabeth appears somewhat frazzled and tells you that she had just heard from Bob who said he would be “a little late” because he “lost track of time.” You note Elizabeth’s frustration which she confirms by saying this is “typical.” She proceeds to share that she feels “completely disregarded,” especially after having shared with Bob the night before how important these sessions are to her. You notice that Heidi seems upset as well and looks as if she has been crying. You ask her how her day is going and she tearfully tells you that Frankie tore up her school paper with the gold star on it. Elizabeth elaborates that Frank had become angry and ripped up the picture that Heidi was proudly sharing with her. Frank, who had gone directly to the Legos, appears oblivious to the others in the room. When you ask him about his sister’s sadness, he replies, “Who cares? She always gets gold stars!”
As you were about to further explore these feelings, Bob arrives stating, “She probably told you I’m always late, but hey, at least I’m consistent.” You notice Elizabeth’s eye rolling and direct your attention to the children, asking them about what brought them to your office. Heidi says, “I’m good but Frankie’s bad at school, and it makes Mommy and Daddy fight.” Frank, who had helped himself to one of your books to use as a car ramp argues, “I hate school. It’s boring and my teacher is mean.” Bob attributes Frank’s boredom to being “too smart for the second grade…what do they expect?” Elizabeth responds that they, like her, expect him to follow rules and be respectful, and suggests that Bob should share those same expectations. Bob dismisses Elizabeth’s concerns by saying, “He’s a normal boy, not like all your friends from work who you say are ‘creative.’”
You notice Elizabeth’s reaction and decide to redirect your attention to Frank. You ask him what bothers him most about school, to which he replies, “I get in trouble, then I don’t get to have all the recess time, then I can’t play soccer because they already started and they won’t let me play.” You notice Frank’s interest in sports and probe for more information. You learn that he is quite athletic and has been asked to join a competitive youth soccer team that plays on Saturdays and Sundays. You discover another source of discord when Elizabeth shares that Bob “feels strongly” that Sundays are to be spent only at church and with family. Bob confirms that after church on Sundays, they spend the rest of the day with his parents, siblings, nieces, and nephews. Elizabeth says that Sunday mornings are the only time she gets to be by herself and that she typically joins the family around 1:00 p.m. Bob adds, “Apparently Liz needs time to herself more than she needs God and her family,” and suggests she should appreciate his family more because “it’s the only family she has.”
As the session comes to a close, you share your observations of the family by noting their common goal of wanting to enjoy family time together. You also suggest that while Frank’s behavior challenges are concerning, perhaps you could focus next week on learning more about each parent’s family of origin in hopes of gaining a better understanding of the couple’s relationship.

Unit 5 Essay General Psychology

Unit 5 Essay General Psychology

Wade and Tavris explain that various factors combine to influence one’s thinking patterns, intelligence, and memories. In fact, we often embrace certain biases and mental shortcuts to assist our cognitive processing. These efforts can prove both costly and beneficial. This assignment is divided into parts, so it is suggested that you begin working on it in advance. PSY 1010, General Psychology 3
Find a popular press article or story from the nightly news in which someone argues a point that you disagree with. Write a paragraph agreeing with this person. Allow one day before moving on to the next part. Make sure at least one day has passed since writing the first paragraph. Now, write another paragraph disagreeing with the person. You will include both of these paragraphs in your essay. Discuss the differences between your arguments from the first paragraph in which you agree and the second paragraph in which you disagree. Elaborate on whether you think that your opinion has changed on this topic, particularly thinking about your initial thoughts on the topic before you wrote either paragraph. In your discussion, incorporate research from the textbook to explain how reasoning, intelligence, and memories influenced your arguments. How did cognitive dissonance affect your reasoning abilities? Your response should be at least two pages in length, but it can be longer if necessary to address all aspects of the assignment. You must use the textbook and at least one additional source. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations. If you need further help with your essay, you should consult with the Writing Center staff, allowing enough time to receive guidance and feedback. You can email the Writing Center at teamsucceed@columbiasouthern.edu.
