Course Project: Identifying Demographic Characteristics
Describe the demographic characteristics of your mock pilot sample using descriptive statistics, and analyze the data you created. You will address how you will standardize your sample depending upon the use of a norm-referenced or criterion-referenced type of standardization. For this assignment, you will:

  • Using Excel to compute descriptive statistics, and describe the demographic characteristics of your sample for the pilot.
  • Analyze the created data from the mock pilot survey by creating histograms and scatterplots to show your distribution and correlation (scan and copy into your MS Word document as an appendix), and report the results.
  • Describe the ways you would standardize the results depending on the use of a norm-referenced or criterion-referenced type of standardization.

Submission Details:

  • Present your assignment in a 5- to 6-page Microsoft Word document.

Assignment 3: Compare and Contrast Theories of Counseling
There are many theories behind the different counseling modalities. Some counselors will adhere to one specific theory, focusing treatment types to the tenets of that theory. Other counselors will adopt a more eclectic counseling foundation, drawing key ideas from multiple theories and combining many treatment types to suit their clients.
For this assignment, create a chart that outlines the following counseling theories: behavior theory, psychoanalytic theory, cognitive-behavioral theory, and person centered theory. For each theory, cover the following aspects:
Goals of therapy
Types of treatment
Theoretical explanation of where substance use or abuse stems from
Characteristics of the client that would be the best fit for this theory
Download a copy of the chart template which you can use to create your chart.
Once your chart is complete, address the following questions:
Describe the similarities and differences between the different therapeutic theories.
According to you, which approach or combination of approaches best fits you as a future counselor?
Write a 4–5-page paper (including the chart) in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M1_A3.doc. For example, if your name is John Smith, your document will be named SmithJ_M1_A3.doc.
By Wednesday, March 23, 2016, deliver your assignment to the M1: Assignment 3 Dropbox.

Questions to be answered
See attached article to help in answering questions
Read about gene-by-environment effects (also called Gene X Environment or G X E) in the Champagne & Mashoodh (2009) article. The particular example you will examine is epigenetic programming due to variations in maternal care. Specifically, in rodent models, it was found that maternal behavior such as carefully licking and grooming the pups was tied to a decreased stress response and lower levels of exploration fear in the pups. Mothers that displayed low levels of pup licking and grooming had adult offspring with a heightened stress response. This study provided evidence that epigenetic changes can underlie the long-term impact of early-life experiences.
For this Discussion, consider the personal and social implications of Gene X Environment interactions. Also consider other gene x environment interactions future research will be most likely to discover based on your introduction to this new topic.
With these thoughts in mind:
Then your response to the following: Explain how epigenetics provides a new perspective on the nature vs. nurture debate. Also, reference the Champagne & Mashoodh article and provide an explanation of how the rat nurturing example can shed light on human parental behavior. Also discuss the broader social implications of this type of research. Finally, share your prediction of and rationale for what other Gene X Environment interactions future research may discover.

This exercise will help you become more proficient at recognizing, translating, and evaluating if and and statements. In this assignment, find two examples for the exercise; translate the claims of the example into symbolic form; identify an if or an and statement; then assess it.
Note: Translation and assessment are tools we use to categorize statements. Therefore, you will not be penalized if, through translation and assessment, you learn a statement that appeared to be an if or an and statement is a statement of another type.
The completed assignment must contain the original claims, your translation of the claims into logical form, and your assessment of the statement in logical form. The original examples should be three to five sentences in length.
Your assessment should include answers to the following questions:
Is the set of claims an argument?
Is the original claim (when translated) an if . . . then or and statement?
Did the translation of the original claims reveal the statement was a different kind of statement than you originally believed?
Remember, you will also need to provide a translation key to explain the symbols you use.
