CHANGING A BEHAVIOR

Changing a Behavior Worksheet
Choose a goal you want to achieve or a behavior you want to change. For example, it could be a specific behavior, such as an eating habit, managing anger, minimizing procrastination, improving a skill, or how you discipline your children. Be specific in describing the behaviors you want to exhibit, both in the desired goal and in the steps toward that goal.
Based on the information in Ch. 7 of Positive Psychology on designing personal goals and in Ch. 8 on developing self-regulation and self-control, develop a plan to change the behavior and answer the following questions.
1. What is the specific behavior you want to change? (50-100 words) 2. Why would it be a value to stop this behavior or learn a new behavior or skill? (100-150 words) 3. What is your action plan to change your behavior? (250-300 words) 4. How would you know if you accomplished your objectives? (100-150 words)

WHAT DEFINES A PROPOSAL REPORT? WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF A PROPOSAL REPORT?

PCN-540: Proposal Process Worksheet In psychology and counseling research, there may be instances in which you become involved in the proposal process. Therefore, it is essential for you as a scientist-practitioner to become familiar with the key terms and steps in the proposal process. Read the “Preparing a grant proposal: Some points for guidance” article and the “Academic Proposal” section of the Owl Purdue Online Writing Lab website located in the weekly materials.
Provide short answers of 150-300 words each for the following questions/statements. Do not exceed 300 words for your response. Use the textbook, and any other scholarly resources to support your responses. Include at least two to three peer-reviewed journal articles beyond the textbook and course readings.
1. What defines a proposal report? What is the purpose of a proposal report?
2. What are the different sections of the proposal report and how are they organized?
3. What are the steps in the data analysis process and what should you consider in your report when including data analysis?

HOW DOES DOPAMINE AFFECT LEARNING?

HOW DOES DOPAMINE AFFECT LEARNING?

3a. Writing Assignment Paper Draft link Developing a Theoretical Framework
Is addiction biologically based? How does dopamine affect learning? What about psychological influences, including personality and effects of trauma? Don’t people “use” to cope with unacceptable feelings or memories? Don’t peers and family influence behavior? Don’t people develop patterns within family social and cultural systems? What about how we learn? If you expect to get certain experiences aren’t we more likely to get them?
For this assignment, I would like you to read about addiction theories in your text (Chapter 2) and on the AMHC website to read more on theories of addiction (from Hester and Miller’s out-of-print 2003 book). Notice that the theories generally fall into 4 areas: biology (biomedical, disease concept) psychology (social learning, coping through self-medication, developmental, personality), sociology (general systems, socio-cultural, family systems) and spirituality (moral/spiritual aspects of addiction). Think about what they have in common as well as how they are different.
Choose 3 models to discuss from 3 of the 4 areas listed above. (Do not select models from the same area). Compare the theories. What do some have in common? Also, contrast them. How are some very different from others – even to the point of being “mutually exclusive”? (impossible for both theories to be accurate at the same time) (5%) What are the advantages of each model for explaining addiction? What strengths and weaknesses do you see in the theory’s ability to explain the addictive process? Describe at least 2 strengths and 2 weaknesses for each model. (70%) How might the ideas in the model make sense to a particular group of people with addiction? (Describe the groups that the theory might appeal to). How could those ideas possibly make it more difficult for some addicts to understand and accept being addicted? Describe the groups that might find those ideas challenging. (5%) What ideas in which theories make most sense to you? Write a final paragraph defining addiction as you see it, based on ideas from your reading and your life. How has this project helped you expand your personal definition of addiction? (10%) Write approximately a 2 page paper (1” margins, no more than 1 ½ line spacing, 12-point font). (10%) Submit the first draft by the first due date. After receiving feedback (for corrections) from the professor, you will re-submit the paper by the 2nd due date on the assignment sheet. Links
Upload the first draft of the paper here at this link by the due date.
Return to submit the final paper at the 2nd paper link (see Moodle for next link).
3b.Final Paper Submission Link Assignment After receiving feedback (see attachments to the draft in your Grades), make corrections and re-submit your theories paper at this link.
4. Listen and then submit Reaction Paper to interview Assignment Listen to the hour-long interview on Dr. Drew’s website and then write a 1 1/2 – 2 page reaction paper.
(It really is an interesting interview so give yourself plenty of time to listen to it!!)
Include ideas from the following in your paper: 1. What “clinical models” do Jaffe and Kern draw from for their treatment model? 2a. What is possibly “controversial” about their model, according to Drew’s question? 2b. Do you have thoughts on this “controversy” in light of your own beliefs in “what works” in treatment and recovery? 3. What are some of the strengths you heard described in this model? 4. What is your overall impression after listening to this interview?
Grammar and punctuation count for 10% of your grade. (Click on the submission link to see how each of the 4 points above are “weighted” in the grading checklist.)
Submit this paper no later than the due date listed.
