Psychology
Self-determination theory
Theories often evolve from previous theories. As you noted in Week 2, job characteristics and job enrichment theory incorporate key elements of job/work design theory. In Week 3, you discovered that organizational justice theories emerged from equity theory. This week, you discover that the same evolutionary trajectory occurs as basic principles of cognitive evaluation theory (CET) appear in the broader and more comprehensive self-determination theory (SET).
Organizational psychology professionals might be asked to address issues relating to low worker motivation and failure to achieve goals. Recognizing that most individuals perform work assignments because they have to and not because they want to, Deci and Ryan (2000) suggest workers develop an “active personal commitment” to their job (p. 60). To achieve this objective, these researchers recommend a course in which employees internalize and integrate their values into their work tasks.
For this Discussion, think about the relationship between CET and SDT. Then select a professional or academic goal that you have achieved and consider why you achieved that goal based on SDT.
Psychoanalytic Analysis
This assignment provides the opportunity for you to demonstrate your ability to apply the concepts covered throughout the course. This assignment MUST be typed, double-spaced, in APA style, 7th edition, and must be written at graduate level English. You must integrate the material presented in the text and cite your work according to APA format.
Culture, Diversity and Legal/Ethical considerations are required. Please integrate factors relevant to culture and diversity in your discussions of each vignette. Identify and discuss legal and ethical issues present in each vignette. [This information can be found in Part I as well as in chapters throughout the course text]. You are also encouraged to use outside cultural resources to enhance your understanding.
Use the Case of Stan and Case of Gwen as a guide to theoretical application, referencing in APA style.

Your response to each vignette should be 1-2 pages per vignette for a total of 5-6 pages for the entire assignment plus a title and reference page.
Do not copy and paste the vignettes into your written response
Vignette One
Jack, a 28-year old man, tells you: “Most of my life I have felt pushed and pulled. My father pushed me into school, sports, and so forth, and over the years my resentment grew for him. He was always
Systematic and scientific analysis
Over the past five weeks you have examined several areas of psychology in relation to the areas/fields of psychology that you are most interested in. As you enter the final week of the course and potentially the end of your bachelor program you may think “what have I learned?”, not just for this course but for the program as a whole. Often, what is created toward the end of an academic program is a portfolio of work that demonstrates your academic achievements and knowledge. This assignment will take a part of that idea but within a position paper. A position paper is your synthesis of ideas and thoughts regarding psychology supported by relevant sources. The basic purpose of the paper is to answer this question:
Quality of care
As discussed in previous weeks, a supervisor is ultimately responsible for the quality of care; therefore, the supervisor must have relevant data to make informed decisions. Many supervisors watch videotapes of a supervisee’s therapy sessions and give feedback about the supervisee’s techniques, as well as recommendations for treatment planning. Clients are aware that the supervisor is ultimately in charge and directing the provided care.
In contrast, consultation involves a psychologist who is responsible for providing treatment and who seeks feedback from a colleague. The consultant is aware of information provided only by the treating clinician in a consultation. This lack of access to information may result in less accurate feedback but can provide the consultant some flexibility and creativity that might otherwise be missing if the consultant was responsible for the treatment. The consultant understands that he or she does not have all the facts and therefore must rely on the treating clinician’s good-faith judgment to incorporate suggestions into the treatment plan.
Personal growth and development
I’m working on a Psychology report and need a sample draft to help me learn.
Midterm- write a five page paper covering Chapters 1-5 and how it relates to you and your own personal journey of growth and development. It requires two references other than the text book listed below.
