cognition and motivation

cognition and motivation

The very first psychologists began their foray into the field by wondering how people think. Those pioneers had no idea what a difficult journey they were embarking upon. Human thought processes are incredibly complex and psychologists still argue today about how thinking, or cognition, occurs.

The psychological science and definition of cognition was a huge step forward in the field of psychology, but it still did not explain why thinking impacted behavior. Thus, psychological researchers moved onto the study of motivation to explore how motivation influences cognitive change. Change in thinking may result in behavioral changes. Is cognitive change even possible without being able to identify a problem? Can behavioral change happen without cognitive change?

This week you examine how motivational theories explain cognitive change. You also explore the relationship between motivation and self-regulation, and apply theories of self-regulation to explain behavior.

Please proceed to the Discussion.

Discussion 1: Cognition and Motivation

Change is not always an easy process, but motivation can assist in completing it. For example, some change is motivated by short-term needs that can be easily met (e.g., hunger motivates you to eat; being tired motivates you to sleep; and being thirsty motivates you to drink). Other change is motivated by long-term needs that cannot be easily met (e.g., good health motivates you to quit smoking; having a low-paying job motivates you to obtain more education; or vanity motivates you to diet and lose weight).

What psychologists wonder is: “Which came first-the chicken or the egg?” In other words, do you change your thinking first, and then a behavioral change follows, or do you change your behavior first, and then a thinking change follows? Perhaps it is a combination of both. Psychologists are still in disagreement about how motivation explains cognitive change, but beginning in the 1970s, they began to develop theories to explain it. To prepare for this Discussion, review these theories in this week’s Learning Resources, and select one to use for this assignment. Begin to consider how this theory explains cognitive change.

Post by Day 3 an explanation of how the theory you selected explains cognitive change. Explain why you think this theory is superior to others in explaining this relationship. Support your response with references to the literature and the Learning Resources.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.

Discussion 2: Self-Regulation and Motivation

What psychologists call self-regulation is what lay people call self-control. It is the ability of a person to control his or her emotions, behaviors, and desires in order to obtain a future reward. As such, a person must have a comprehension of the future to be able to exercise self-regulation. Motivation plays a key role in self-regulation because it encourages working toward that future reward. For example, a student who excels in academics might exercise self-regulation by setting his or her goals effectively, adapting his or her learning style, and self-monitoring his or her progress—all for the future reward of good grades, pleased parents, and admission to a university. Nevertheless, motivation is not always positive (i.e., encouraging) in self-regulation. For example, a drug addict’s motivation to obtain more drugs may make that person unable to exercise self-regulation, comprehend the future, and obtain future rewards.

Post by Day 4 an explanation of how motivation influences self-regulation. Then describe two specific behaviors that could best be explained by theories of self-regulation and explain why.

Social Cognition and Perception

Social Cognition and Perception

Assignment: Social Cognition and Perception

Social cognition is the study of the ways people think about themselves and the social world, including how they select, interpret, remember, and use social information. Two types of social cognition are controlled thinking and automatic thinking. Controlled thinking is thinking that is conscious, intentional, voluntary, and effortful, such as when you are weighing the pros and cons of an issue to make an important decision or are learning a skill for the first time. Automatic thinking is just as it sounds—thinking that happens without conscious thought—and it is this type of thinking that you will concentrate on this week.

Schemas, one example of automatic thinking, are mental structures that organize our knowledge about the social world and influence what we notice, think about, and remember. Schemas are important for making sense of the world. They help us to create continuity to relate new experiences to old ones and are especially helpful when information is ambiguous. We also engage in a second type of automatic thinking when we use mental strategies and shortcuts, or heuristics, that make judgments and decisions easier, allowing us to proceed with our lives and not turn every decision into a major hurdle. Examples of heuristics include availability, representativeness, and counterfactual thinking. Schemas and heuristics significantly influence our impressions of a social situation and facilitate our social cognition processes. Schemas are highly determined by the cultures in which we grow up, and they strongly influence what we notice and remember about the world.

Think back to this week’s Introduction. When you meet someone new, you no doubt use many different kinds of information available to you and process that information in a way that allows you to make sense of their behavior. You may see if a person fits into some group with which you are familiar and then try to make sense of the person’s behavior in light of others in that group. In addition, you probably have your own goals for relating to the person, which also influence your impression. If your goal is to form a long-term relationship with the person, you will process the information differently than you would the information from a store clerk with whom you don’t plan to have any kind of relationship.

The information you focus on, the strategies you use in processing the information, and the resulting impressions and preconceived ideas you form about a person make up what is called person perception. Since social psychology is all about relating to others, be it an individual or a group of people, person perception is an important topic.

In addition to understanding how people form impressions of others, it is helpful to dig deeper into why people might behave as they do. In doing so, you can more easily predict how people will behave and then control the environment accordingly. By having a better understanding of why people behave as they do, you also can understand your own emotions and feelings toward the situation, which impact your own future behavior. The simple question of “What causes what?” is essential in understanding those around you and your social environment. And, since it would be cumbersome to constantly ask the question “What causes what?”—people tend to ask and answer it automatically. The social psychology term for this concept is causal attribution. There are many related social psychological theories that you can use to understand why people behave as they do. This understanding in turn, helps you to better understand how people relate to one another and to the environment, predict behavior, and partly control social situations—all major goals of social psychology.

To prepare:

  • Review Chapters 3 and 4 of the course text, Social Psychology.
  • Review the article, “Person Perception” found in this week’s Learning Resources.
  • Watch the video on selective attention.

The Assignment (4-5 pages):

  • Select one person in each category below:
    • A person you do not know and who you probably will not see again (clerk at the grocery store, etc.)
    • A person you have known for some time and for whom you can remember your first impressions (acquaintance, friend, spouse, etc.)
  • Briefly describe each person including his or her specific behavior at your first meeting, the context of your interaction with each person, and your first impression of each person.
  • Explain whether you made external (situational) and/or internal (dispositional) attributions for each person’s behavior during that first meeting.
  • Did you engage in automatic thinking or controlled thinking in forming your first impression of each person? Explain. What, if any, schemas or heuristics did you use?
  • With which culture(s) do you identify? According to the information in this week’s readings, how does your culture influence your impressions of others? For example, how does your culture influence your impressions of others? For example, (a) how does your culture influence the content of a particular schema (Aronson, Wilson, & Sommers, 2016, p. 70), (b) which culturally-specific display rules influence your impressions (Aronson, Wilson, & Sommers, 2016, pp. 90-91), or (c) when have you engaged in holistic or analytic thinking as your culture would predict (Aronson, Wilson, & Sommers, 2016, p. 110)?

Please use the resources provided and provide thorough detailed information with understanding. Thank you.

SWOT and set up of a new division of a company

SWOT and set up of a new division of a company

Purpose

In this project, you will complete an external and internal analysis of Biotech. You will research the cosmetic industry and use the Company Profile to complete the project.

Skill Building:

You are also completing this project to help develop critical thinking and assessing the external and internal business environment.

Skills: Research, Critical Thinking, Writing

Outcome Met by Completing This Assignment

Instructions:

The Executive Director for the new Asia Division, has been asked by Max Barney to put together, and present in a memo to him, a business unit strategy that will be a guide for the next year as the new division moves forward. The Executive Director will be working with the consulting group over the next 5 weeks and they will assist with putting together this plan. The final plan will be laid out as outlined below and developed in three phases. In the first phase (this project), Section II and Section III will be completed.

Section I – Executive Summary

Section II – Goals and Objectives

Section III – Competitive Analysis

Section IV – Description of Organizational Structure and Culture

Section V – Breakdown of Product and Services

Section VI – Communications Plan

Section VII – Human Resources Plan

A Business Unit Strategy will provide the organization an opportunity to explain the goals and objectives of the new division and help with the development of the strategy to achieve them. The plan will allow the company to gain insight into the current status of the industry it is venturing into using internal and external analysis tools, and then use this analysis to design its division’s business environment. In addition, the plan will be used to form the team that will bring the vision for this division to reality.

Phase I

This week, the group from GoTo Consulting has been tasked with conducting internal and external analysis of the cosmetics industry, assessing Biotech’s future in the industry and developing the business strategy for Biotech as they move forward. You will need the Biotech Company Profile to complete the analysis.

You have been tasked with conducting a SWOT Analysis of Biotech and the cosmetic industry; a PESTLE analysis using the location the group identified during Week 2 (you must use the location identified in week 2) for the new offices; and a Porter Five Forces analysis for the industry. The group lead has requested that the analysis tools be accompanied with explanations that will breakdown the results of each analytical tool’s discoveries. With the results of this analysis, Biotech leadership should be able to make critical decisions on the types of products (and their corresponding ingredients) they will use during their initial product line launch.

In addition to the internal and external analysis, you have been tasked with identifying five (5) major business goals that Biotech should initially be focused on as they venture into the cosmetics industry. These goals should begin to define the entry strategy that the organization should follow as it tackles moving into an industry new to the organization. These goals should be robust but also attainable. Having clear attainable goals is great, but the goals also need to have clearly defined objectives that will measure the progress to achieve these goals. Meeting these objectives should result in the future success of their corresponding goals. When writing these objectives, ensure they can clearly be related to the 5 goals established as critical during entry into the cosmetics industry.

Instructions for Completing Phase I of the Business Unit Strategy

Step 1: Write an Introduction Paragraph

The Introduction paragraph is the first paragraph of the paper and will be used to describe to the reader the intent of the paper. This intent should be understood prior to reading the remainder of the paper so the reader will understand the intent of the information.

Step 2: Answer the Following

To conduct the analysis, use grading rubric to ensure specific information is included.

  • Conduct a SWOT Analysis of Biotech and the cosmetic industry;
  • Conduct a PESTLE Analysis of the cosmetic industry;
  • Conduct a Porter’s Five Forces Analysis
  • You will provide explanations for the results of each of the three analyses using research and the course material. The analysis will provided specific details – generalizations are unacceptable.
  • Identify the 5 major goals the Business Unit Strategy should look to attain, with explanations as to the importance of each goal and why the goals are relevant to the Business Unit;
  • Identify a minimum of three objectives (per goal) necessary to accomplish each goal. Explain why the objective fits the goal.

Step 3: Review the Paper

Read the paper to ensure all required elements are present. Use the grading rubric to ensure that you gain the most points possible for this assignment.

Proofread the paper for spelling and grammatical issues, and third person writing.

  • Read the paper aloud as a first measure;
  • Use the spell and grammar check in Word as a second measure;
  • Have someone who has excellent English skills proof the paper;
  • Consider submitting the memo to the Effective Writing Center (EWC). The EWC will provide 4-6 areas that may need improvement.

Step 4: Submit the paper in the Assignment Folder (The assignment submitted to the Assignment Folder will be considered the student’s final product and therefore ready for grading by the instructor. It is incumbent upon the student to verify the assignment is the correct submission. No exceptions will be considered by the instructor).

 

How to Set Up the Paper

Create a Word or Rich Text Format (RTF) document that is single-spaced, with double spaces between paragraphs. Use 12-point font. The final product will be 4-5 pages in length excluding the title page and reference page. Write clearly and concisely.

Completing the Project

In order to complete this project, you will want to first read the module, Learn How to Support What You Write, as this assignment requires you to use the course readings and research to support what you write. Also,

  • Read the grading rubric for the project. Use the grading rubric while completing the project to ensure all requirements are met that will lead to the highest possible grade.
  • Third person writing is required. Third person means that there are no words such as “I, me, my, we, or us” (first person writing), nor is there use of “you or your” (second person writing). If uncertain how to write in the third person, view this link: http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar….
  • Contractions are not used in business writing, so do not use them.
  • Paraphrase and do not use direct quotation marks. Paraphrase means you do not use more than four consecutive words from a source document. Instead put a passage from a source document into your own words and attribute the passage to the source document. Not using direct quotation marks means that there should be no passages with quotation marks and instead the source material is paraphrased as stated above. Note that a reference within a reference list cannot exist without an associated in-text citation and vice versa.
  • Provide the page or paragraph number (required) when using in-text citations. If using the eBook, use the Section title.
  • You are expected to use the case scenario, Biotech Company Profile, and weekly course material to develop the analysis and support the reasoning. The expectation is that you provide a robust use of the course material and demonstrate thorough research of the cosmetic industry. The only external source material used is in relation to the research on the cosmetic industry. Material used from a source document must be cited and referenced. A reference within a reference list cannot exist without an associated in-text citation and vice versa.
  • Use a wide array of the course reading as well as sources from your research. The research should focus on information related to the cosmetic industry.

About Biotech:

Recently, Geraldine Barney Garrett, the granddaughter of Wilford Barney who held the reins of the R&D department for Biotech Health and Life Products in 1965, retired and Geraldine’s own granddaughter, Melanie Malone, took over the department. Melanie is qualified for the job. She was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of Maryland College Park with a double major in Botany and Food Science. She minored in Business Management. She had worked in the plant in Chicago every summer since High School and had reproduced and revised all her grandmother’s and great-great grandmother’s recipes. Starting full-time at 22 years of age Melanie got along with everyone in the department but at 27 Geraldine thought she may be too young to assume the position, but Melanie has shown strong managerial and leadership qualities since stepping into the role. Melanie wants the company to be a leader in innovative ways to be a sustainable company using green technologies as well as friendly to the environment, animals, and human health.

Maximillian Barney, the President, CEO and Wilford Barney’s grandchild, decided the challenge of deciding on a location for the new Cosmetic Division as well as the search for a Division Director would fall on Melanie. Since Melanie is passionate about keeping business focused on all-natural products and developing ecofriendly packaging, Max felt Melanie would ensure the company would bring in someone who would seek innovative, green, and sustainable ways to effectively bring Biotech into this new venture, while also ensuring the products are designed, developed, tested and delivered with the organization’s mission and vision in mind.

Melanie has contracted a small minority owned consulting firm, GoTo Consulting, to conduct research on the best location for this new plant that meets all the expectations of Biotech and also has the ability to launch these new products per Melanie’s mandates for green sustainability and innovation. A group has been assembled within the firm to decide on a location for the plant. Melanie has narrowed her preferences down to India, Japan, and Vietnam and wants the firm to present the best option to her.

Who can write a four to five page paper?

Who can write a four to five page paper?

Drawing on El Zarco and other relevant materials, write a 4-5 page paper that addresses one of the following questions.

1) What are the characteristics of “good” men and how can they strengthen the nation?

2) What are the characteristics of “bad” men and how do they weaken the nation?

3) What are the characteristics of “good” women and how can they strengthen the nation?

4) What are the characteristics of “bad” women and how do they weaken the nation?

Guidelines

  • You may use lecture notes for context (no need to cite lecture). Do not use any other sources (books, internet, etc.).

Format

  • Paper needs to four full pages minimum and five pages maximum.
  • Double space, one-inch margins all around, 11 or 12-point font.
  • Put your name and the date (single-spaced) in the top left-hand corner of the first page only.
  • Place your paper’s title in 14-point font on the top of the first page. Think of a title that reflects your paper’s argument.
  • Eliminate the extra space between paragraphs (in “Format,” choose “paragraph,” and check box that says “Don’t add space between paragraphs of same style.”
  • No cover sheet.
  • Number every page on upper right-hand corner.

Spelling and Grammar: One point will be deducted for each spelling and grammar mistake.

  • In Spelling and Grammar Preferences in Micro Soft Word set “writing style” to “formal.” For PCs, set to “check style” and place checkmarks in all of the stylistic features. Make sure to fix problems indicated by red or green lines.

Writing: Observing these tips will significantly improve your paper and grade.

  • Write a clear introduction that catches the reader’s attention, previews your entire paper, and gives an indication of your particular argument or focus. It is often easiest to write your introduction after writing the rest of the paper.
  • Jump write into the topic at hand. Don’t begin with a broad, universal generalization (“From the dawn of time… the struggle between good and evil has shaped human nature”).
  • Use concrete examples to support your points.
  • Write paragraphs around a single, specific idea, clearly expressed in a topic sentence.
  • Concluding paragraph should tie the paper together. Restate argument and show how the evidence in paper supports argument.

Citations

  • Be sure to cite direct quotations as well as ideas and points you draw from the sources, even when you do not use their exact words. NOT CITING WILL DRASTICALLY LOWER YOUR GRADE.
  • Since your paper will draw on a single source, cite by placing the page number (only the number) between parentheses at the end of the sentence, before the period.

    When referring to concepts in the book without repeating exact language, cite as follows:
    The concept of calidad included several factors (9).

    When using repeats exact language from the book, cite as follows:
    Francisca attributed her daughter’s behavior to the workings of “a diabolic entity” (177).

  • Important note: Quote the words of the people and documents discussed in the book, but avoid quoting the author’s words directly. In general, keep quotations to a minimum. No quote should exceed two lines. Try to incorporate quotations into your own sentences, as shown in the second example above.

Reflection

Reflection

  • In Week 1, you were asked to consider if one domain—physical, cognitive, or social-emotional—was more important than the others. Review your response. Have your views changed or strengthened? Explain your current thinking on the importance of helping the “whole child” develop.
  • Think about assumptions or misconceptions about children’s development that you brought into the course. Summarize information you have learned that dispels those assumptions or misconceptions. Comment on effective ways to share or model what you’ve learned to correct those same misconceptions in others.
  • Reflect on something you learned or experienced in the course that surprised or amazed you. It may be an aspect of child development or a personal insight into your own childhood or adolescence. Describe this “ah-ha!” and why it stands out for you.
  • In this course, you have been introduced to many topics and aspects of child development. What else do you want to know about child development, generally or about a specific aspect or stage of child development? Explain your interest, how it relates to your professional goals, and at least two ways to go about gaining this knowledge.
  • Learning about child development offers a different perspective on children. Think about how you looked at children in your everyday world before this course. In what ways are you more attuned to children today?

Case study intervention for family treatment.

Case study intervention for family treatment.

The Farmer Family (Group A – Case Study)

An interracial couple, Maria and Christopher are parents to three children range in ages 4 to 9. Maria is 35 years old and biracial; she is Latina and African-American. Maria was raised with her two older siblings in a two-parent household with Christian values. Christopher is 45 Caucasian had a younger brother and was raised to observe the Catholic faith, by a single mother.

Maria and Christopher met through a mutual friend at a Christmas party. Christopher introduced himself to Maria, and the two exchanged numbers. The two had several things in common such as their educational background, both have undergraduate degrees in engineering, both enjoyed social gatherings, and both believed in the importance of family and the principles of marriage. After dating exclusively for six months, Christopher asked Maria to marry him, and six months later, they were married in a small chapel surrounded by friends and their family. The couple had their twins Amber and Alicia one year after they were married. Maria decided to return to work after she had the twins, while Christopher stayed home to care for the girls. The family was financially stable, and Maria received a promotion at work while Christopher happily cared for the girls. When the girls were five years old, Maria learned she was pregnant with August. Christopher and Maria agreed Amber and Alicia were ready to enter pre-school and located a daycare two miles from their home. Christopher expressed his intent to re-enter the workforce, but Maria felt August was too young to be left at daycare.

After another year at home, Christopher began applying for jobs and received a call for a lead engineer position at a company he hoped to represent. When Christopher shared the news with Maria, she was furious and began shouting and throwing things. Christopher also became angry and began shouting, and then he slapped Maria. Amber, Alicia, and August were watching television in the living room, but could hear the commotion. August began crying, and his sisters screamed for their father. Maria could hear the girls calling for Christopher, and she rushed to the living room. Maria’s face is red, and her makeup is smudged from her tears. The girls ask her what was happening, and she told them their father hit her, and they were getting a divorce. Maria gathered the children, told Christopher she will send him the divorce papers and went to stay with her parents. The children cried for their father and Maria told them they would never see him again.

The children had no communication with their father for three years. Subsequently, the girls began acting out in school and August eating, and sleeping habits were irregular. Maria called Christopher, and they met to discuss how to help their children who are now ages 4 (August), and 9 (Amber & Alicia). Maria and Christopher agreed they should seek counseling.

Write a 2-3 page paper for Recommendations for treatment for the children and parents.

Response Post: Respond to classmate 100WORDS

A person-centred therapist is a form of psychotherapy which was developed by Carl Rogers. This psychotherapy technique was developed with various goals to be achieved during this technique including becoming open to experience, learning how to trust themselves, developing an internal evaluation of themselves and the willingness to continue growing. As a client and engaging with a person-centred therapist I imagine that it would be an opportunity for me to create a movement to express my feelings to the therapist. This form of therapy as explained by Carl Rogers it helps to facilitate a relationship between the client and the therapist thus, creating an environment that supports creativity (Corey. 2017, p. 180). In a situation in which the therapist does not have structure and direction, I would ask the therapist to direct me to another therapist that would be of help to me. If I were to restrict my counselling practice to the framework of personal-centred therapy to me, this would be ideal since I would get the opportunity to accept myself and having the psychological freedom that would help in self-analysis (Corey. 2017, p. 181).

I would also restrict my counselling to this psychological therapy since the therapist would provide me with an opportunity to express my feelings through various activities, i.e. visual art, sound. Personal-centred therapy is ideal to a client as its primary focus in individual reflection, therefore, giving an individual an opportunity to reflect what is on their mind. As an individual who requires therapy, I would also focus on emotion-focused therapy as this would ideal to me on how to approach my emotions so that they would not influence my decisions. Establishment of a therapeutic relationship in light with the core therapeutic condition of a client is the main focus of person-centred therapy.

write about a natural hazard/disaster

write about a natural hazard/disaster

For this discussion topic please choose a natural hazard/disaster that occurred prior to the year 1900. You should be able to find plenty of examples online. I want you to write this post as if you were witnessing the event and writing an account of what happened.

Please choose an event that actually happened and use your imagination for the details. However, please incorporate class material into your report. Remember to also think about what technologies were available at the time. For example, there would not be a seismograph in 1600 or a helicopter to save people in 1800. Remember to also include any references you used and your post must be at least 250-300 words.

Group Therapy adolescent

Group Therapy adolescent

Group therapy is one of the most successful interventions for adolescents. This is because of the nature of this stage of development and the need to belong to a group. Hearing the stories of other teens and knowing that their experiences and feelings are similar is very therapeutic. Another characteristic of the adolescent stage is a short attention span, so the clinical social worker should tailor exercises that initiate and sustain discussion for adolescents.

For this Assignment, watch the “Bradley” video.

In a 2- to 4-page paper, identify two opening exercises that you might recommend for a group of adolescent girls who were victims of human trafficking.

Describe the exercises in detail so that another social worker would be able to implement them.

Explain ways these exercises might be effective in creating a comfortable environment for these teenage girls.

Support your rationale with the literature. For example, what does the literature say about teenage girls who have been arrested for prostitution/human trafficking and who openly discuss their experiences?

How do these exercises promote group cohesion and encourage these teens to talk openly?

Please use these resource alone with a literature review you find.

Discussion Topic- Mountain Voices

Discussion Topic- Mountain Voices

Mountain Voices

“Mountain people are among the world’s poorest and most disadvantaged. Living far from the centres of commerce and power, they have little influence over the policies and decisions that influence their lives and contribute to the deterioration of their mountain homelands. With the exception of a few regions, such as the European Alps where mountain communities are politically represented in national governments, the voices of mountain people generally go unheard. As a result, many mountain people live on the economic fringe as subsistence farmers and herders, traders and day labourers, with no authority over those who exploit their mountain homes.”

Purpose

The passage above is taken from a site linked to my favorite web site on mountain peoples, Mountain Partnership — a voluntary alliance of partners dedicated to improving the lives of mountain people and protecting mountain environments around the world, launched at the World Summit for Sustainable Development in 2002. Dig deeply into this site; you will find plenty of useful information. Eventually you should find a link to Mountain Voices (here it is in case you couldn’t find it). The purpose of this Discussion Assignment is to engage you in this page, to give you an opportunity to learn about the mountain peoples of one country, and to share that information with your group members.

Your Task

Please do the following:

  1. Spend time digging into the Mountain Voices Website; be familiar with the material thereon, including the testimonies at the bottom of each country page. Pick one of the countries to focus on.
  2. For your chosen country, read the webpage thoroughly, including as many of the testimonies as you have time for.
  3. In an informal essay of no less than 350 words (and, please, no more than 500 words), summarize what you learned – comment and reflect. In other words, good content and some personal reflections on what you learned.

Topic 5 DQ 1

PLease Respond to the following post with a paragraph, add citations and references.

The problem with this statement is that we are only presented with the “Given” which describes a linear correclation between number of cigarettes smoked and pulse rate. Linear correlation shows a relationship between the two variables – cigarettes and pulse rate- but never shows a causation. To show or prove a causation, a regression analysis needs to be performed.

Correlation is used to indicate relation, while a linear regression is a technique designed both to quantify a positive relationship between random variables, and prove that one variable is dependent on another variable
