Child life theory and practice assignment

Evidence Based Practice in the News
The purpose of this assignment is for you to assess meaningful data for effective evaluation of child life services, and to demonstrate the process for engaging in evidence-based practice. (CLC3a; CLC2a)

Chose an area of interest related to Child Life

Pain Management
Ethics
Professional Development
Cultural Awareness
Children with Special Needs
Child Abuse and Neglect
Mental Illness
Chronic Illness
Emergency Management
Hospital/Homebound

Determine a potential Child Life clinical practice problem.
Using the PICOT format, create a research question that is population specific, identifies a specific practice or intervention, compares this specific practice or intervention with another, states what the practice or intervention will affect, and designates a time period in which the affect will take place. “In hospitals (patient population), how does having a pet therapy program (intervention) compared with not having a pet therapy program(comparison) affect the documented pain levels (outcome) during a three-month period (time).”
Search for the best evidence available and determine the strength of the evidence using the CRAP test.
Complete a critical analysis of the evidence and develop recommendations for practice changes.
Disseminate (share) your research question, literature findings, and recommendations for practice changes in a News Report through a medium of your choice. See below for just a few multimedia options.

Discuss the variables found in the research that have been found to correlate with an increased risk for suicidal ideation, attempts and completion. What types of psychopathology have been associated with an increased risk for suicide? Why might that be the case?

Answers must be paraphrased (restated in your own words with no quoting permitted), properly APA format source credited – including within-answer citations and a list of references included at the end of each answer – and at least 600 words each, not counting source citations and references. Answers should be succinct, thorough, articulated in well-organized paragraphs (lists, sentence fragments and bulleted items are not permitted), and more substantive than just definitions of terms, procedures, or issues. 
To complete this exam, save a copy of the attached file on your hard drive, construct your answers below each question on a separate page per question, attach a cover page to the front and a reference list to the end (references must also be placed at the end of each question for which they were used) and upload it under the Midterm Exam assignment tab.
Questions:
1. Psychological abnormality may include concerns with concepts such as deviance, distress, dysfunction, and danger. First, briefly explain what each term means from your perspective in the context of psychopathology. Then, for each term, provide a specific example of when it (e.g., distress) would be considered “normal” and, separately, an example of when it would be considered “abnormal.” Finally, explain why it is important to understand this distinction.
2. Your nephew is taking Intro to Psych as a high school senior and is confused about which of the theoretical models is “best” at explaining abnormality. Describe for him, in no more than 100 words per model and using terms he (as a layperson) can understand, at least three models of abnormality. Then, briefly answer his question – which model do you think is best and why? Be sure to support your answer with reference material.
3. Answer both parts of this question. Imagine you are an intake clinician at a community mental health clinic:a. If you had 30 minutes to conduct a preliminary clinical interview, what information would you be sure to try to get, and why? Be sure to support your answer using the reading materials in the course.b. You’ve been tasked to give a lecture to new clients explaining the format and major characteristics of DSM-5. What are the main points you want to be sure to cover
4. For EACH of the following disorders, characterize three specific factors you believe are most important for a basic understanding of them. Be sure to justify your choices using only about 100-150 words for each:1. GeneralizedAnxietyDisorder2. PanicDisorder3. ObsessiveCompulsiveDisorder 4. Post-TraumaticStressDisorder 5. SomaticSymptomDisorder6. MajorDepressiveDisorder7. BipolarDisorde
5. Discuss the variables found in the research that have been found to correlate with an increased risk for suicidal ideation, attempts and completion. What types of psychopathology have been associated with an increased risk for suicide? Why might that be the case?

Discussion: outliers discussion topic | Psychology homework help

We know that many types of data fall into a normal distribution, with most of the observations falling toward the middle. However, sometimes there are outliers or data points that are very different (i.e., larger or smaller) from the others in the sample. An example from psychology would be Mensa, which requires 98th percentile on a valid, normed test of intelligence for admission. Mensa members are therefore outliers, although some are more so than others. Review the Slate article on the New England Patriots from the module resources, Another Data Point, for an example of an outlier in the real world. Choose an example of an outlier in the real world and discuss its effect. When responding to your classmates’ posts, evaluate the effects of their chosen outliers.
To complete this assignment, review the Discussion Rubric PDF document.

Comfortably numb | Psychology homework help

  
This week we talked about multigroup experiments. Read the article by Bushman and Anderson on the Desensitizing Effects of Violent Media on Helping Others. Once you have read through the article, please answer the following questions:
1) The authors conducted two studies – one with video games and one with movies. When considering the study involving the video games, was this a two-group or a multigroup experiment? Why? 
2) In the study at the movie theater, the “emergency” was staged before people went to watch their movie for some people and for others it was staged after they saw their violent or nonviolent movie. Do you think this study was a multigroup study? Was there a control group? Do you think that there are any issues in the way they set up their experiment?
3) Imagine that you want to examine Bushman and Anderson’s hypothesis that watching a violent movie (or playing a violent video game) will make you less likely to help someone in need. Pick a violent medium (movie or video game, not both) and describe how you would conduct a similar experiment that would be clearly multigroup. Make sure to identify your independent variable, your dependent variable, and your control.
