    WEEK 5: AT A GLANCE
    THE MENTAL STATUS EXAM

    INTRODUCTION
    If you were a surgeon, would you go into an
    operating room without knowing the condition of
    your patient? Of course not! The stakes are just
    as high in the legal system. As a forensic
    interviewer/evaluator, your observations guide the
    work of legal and mental health professionals.
    Your observations can be instrumental in
    determining the outcome of a legal investigation.

    This week, you are introduced to a tool known as
    a Mental Status Exam (MSE). Forensic
    professionals perform MSEs to document the
    cognitive and emotional state of suspects,
    witnesses, or victims of crime. You consider the
    positive contributions of the MSE to legal investigations and consider the use of the MSE with
    certain types of suspects and witnesses. You complete an MSE template designed to capture the
    mental status of a forensic interviewee. Finally, you develop a report that summarizes and makes
    recommendations based on the MSE interview that you observed. The observations and
    recommendations in the MSE report have the potential to guide legal and mental health
    professionals in their ongoing interviews and interrogation activities.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES
    Students will:

    Analyze the use and benefits of the Mental Status Exam with designated interviewee-types
    Complete a Mental Status Exam template
    Create a Mental Status Exam report

    USE AND BENEFITS OF THE MENTAL
    STATUS EXAM

    Important Note: For all Discussions in this course, you are required to
    complete your initial Discussion assignment post before you will be able to view
    and respond to your colleagues’ postings. Begin by clicking on the “Post to
    Discussion Question” link, and then select “Create Thread” to complete your
    initial post. Remember, once you click Submit, you cannot delete or edit your
    own posts, and you cannot post anonymously. Please check your post carefully
    before clicking Submit!

    Forensic psychologists are charged with tasks such as determining adjudicative
    competency, risk of future dangerousness, insanity, suitability for child custody, and
    competence to waive Miranda rights. As a forensic interviewer, your observations provide
    a roadmap for the work of forensic psychologists. Forensic psychologists and court
    personnel depend on the accuracy of documentation.

    An MSE helps you organize your observations. It is structured around traits and
    behaviors, such as appearance, mood/affect, speech/language, thought process, thought
    content, and perception. An MSE may include any questions that shed light on these traits
    and behaviors. In this Discussion, you analyze the use and benefits of an MSE with two
    different suspect/witness types.

    To prepare for this Discussion:

    Read the chapter in the LeBlond et al. text. Pay close attention to Section 1 regarding
    the MSE.

    RESOURCES

    Be sure to review the Learning Resources before completing this activity.

    Read the Polanski article, and note the section on the use of the MSE across cultures
    and age groups.

    Post a response to the following:

    How does an MSE prepare a forensic psychologist for an interview with an individual
    with cognitive impairment as opposed to a person without such an impairment?
    Discuss which component(s) of the MSE you believe is/are most valuable when
    working with each population, and why.
    Which items on the MSE may stimulate follow-up questioning, and why?
    What interview strategies would a forensic psychologist consider when working with
    each population?

    Note: Support your postings and responses with specific references to the
    Learning Resources and any additional sources you identify using both in-text
    citations and complete references in APA format.

    Read a selection of your colleagues' postings.

    Respond to at least two of your colleagues' initial Discussion assignment postings in one
    or more of the following ways:

    Expand on your colleague’s analysis of the use and benefits of the MSE for a certain
    interviewee-type.
    Offer an alternative perspective on your colleague’s posting.
    Ask a probing question and provide insight into how you would answer your question
    and why.
    Ask a probing question, and provide the foundation, or rationale, for the question.
    Expand on your colleague’s posting by offering a new perspective or insight.
    Agree with a colleague and offer additional (new) supporting information for
    consideration.
    Disagree with a colleague by respectfully discussing and supporting a different
    perspective.

    MENTAL STATUS EXAM OBSERVATION AND
    REPORT

    The purpose of an MSE is to prepare forensic psychologists for their work with suspects, witnesses, or victims of a
    crime. The psychologist is interested in an interviewee’s ability to recall details, his or her emotional state, and his or
    her resolve in the face of intense questioning.

    In Part I of this assignment, you observe an interviewer asking questions that shed light on these traits and
    abilities. You use the MSE template to record your observations of the interviewee’s behavior.

    There are important differences between this exercise and “real life.” In “real life” the victim of the crime could speak
    for herself, but in this exercise the only evidence is the videotaped interview and the grainy film from a simulated
    security camera. Also, in “real life” you would probably have only one chance to interview the witness; in this
    exercise, you are able to observe the interview multiple times.

    To prepare for this Application Assignment:

    Read all of the required Learning Resources.
    View the simulated security camera video footage in the media, conduct a Mental Status Exam, found in this
    week’s Learning Resources
    Review the MSE template before viewing the MSE media.
    Complete the MSE template while viewing the MSE video. Be sure to cite evidence that supports your
    observations.

    For Part 2 of this Assignment, you will write a 3– to 5–page report based on your observations. The report is
    designed to summarize your observations and provide recommendations for fellow professionals.

    To prepare for this Assignment:

    Review the MSE template that you completed in Part 1.
    Read the sample MSE report included in the Learning Resources.
    Read the Gordon & Fleischer chapter on writing a report.
    Read the forensic report writing tips at forensicmind.com. (Note: Bear in mind that these tips are directed at
    forensic psychiatrists, not forensic interviewers. As a forensic interviewer, you will not be diagnosing mental
    disorders, prescribing medication, judging the effects of medication, etc.)
    Review the APA Professional Guidelines (Week 1 Learning Resources).

    The Assignment:

    Submit the MSE Template and a 3– to 5–page report that contains two sections:

    1. Summary of observations
    Summary of each component area of the MSE. Provide examples from the video.

    2. Recommendations for fellow mental health and legal professionals that include:

    MENTAL STATUS EXAM OBSERVATION AND
    REPORT

    The purpose of an MSE is to prepare forensic psychologists for their work with suspects, witnesses, or victims of a
    crime. The psychologist is interested in an interviewee’s ability to recall details, his or her emotional state, and his or
    her resolve in the face of intense questioning.

    In Part I of this assignment, you observe an interviewer asking questions that shed light on these traits and
    abilities. You use the MSE template to record your observations of the interviewee’s behavior.

    There are important differences between this exercise and “real life.” In “real life” the victim of the crime could speak
    for herself, but in this exercise the only evidence is the videotaped interview and the grainy film from a simulated
    security camera. Also, in “real life” you would probably have only one chance to interview the witness; in this
    exercise, you are able to observe the interview multiple times.

    To prepare for this Application Assignment:

    Read all of the required Learning Resources.
    View the simulated security camera video footage in the media, conduct a Mental Status Exam, found in this
    week’s Learning Resources
    Review the MSE template before viewing the MSE media.
    Complete the MSE template while viewing the MSE video. Be sure to cite evidence that supports your
    observations.

    For Part 2 of this Assignment, you will write a 3– to 5–page report based on your observations. The report is
    designed to summarize your observations and provide recommendations for fellow professionals.

    To prepare for this Assignment:

    Review the MSE template that you completed in Part 1.
    Read the sample MSE report included in the Learning Resources.
    Read the Gordon & Fleischer chapter on writing a report.
    Read the forensic report writing tips at forensicmind.com. (Note: Bear in mind that these tips are directed at
    forensic psychiatrists, not forensic interviewers. As a forensic interviewer, you will not be diagnosing mental
    disorders, prescribing medication, judging the effects of medication, etc.)
    Review the APA Professional Guidelines (Week 1 Learning Resources).

    The Assignment:

    Submit the MSE Template and a 3– to 5–page report that contains two sections:

    1. Summary of observations
    Summary of each component area of the MSE. Provide examples from the video.

    2. Recommendations for fellow mental health and legal professionals that include:

    WEEK 5: AT A GLANCE
    THE MENTAL STATUS EXAM

    INTRODUCTION
    If you were a surgeon, would you go into an
    operating room without knowing the condition of
    your patient? Of course not! The stakes are just
    as high in the legal system. As a forensic
    interviewer/evaluator, your observations guide the
    work of legal and mental health professionals.
    Your observations can be instrumental in
    determining the outcome of a legal investigation.

    This week, you are introduced to a tool known as
    a Mental Status Exam (MSE). Forensic
    professionals perform MSEs to document the
    cognitive and emotional state of suspects,
    witnesses, or victims of crime. You consider the
    positive contributions of the MSE to legal investigations and consider the use of the MSE with
    certain types of suspects and witnesses. You complete an MSE template designed to capture the
    mental status of a forensic interviewee. Finally, you develop a report that summarizes and makes
    recommendations based on the MSE interview that you observed. The observations and
    recommendations in the MSE report have the potential to guide legal and mental health
    professionals in their ongoing interviews and interrogation activities.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES
    Students will:

    Analyze the use and benefits of the Mental Status Exam with designated interviewee-types
    Complete a Mental Status Exam template
    Create a Mental Status Exam report

    USE AND BENEFITS OF THE MENTAL
    STATUS EXAM

    Important Note: For all Discussions in this course, you are required to
    complete your initial Discussion assignment post before you will be able to view
    and respond to your colleagues’ postings. Begin by clicking on the “Post to
    Discussion Question” link, and then select “Create Thread” to complete your
    initial post. Remember, once you click Submit, you cannot delete or edit your
    own posts, and you cannot post anonymously. Please check your post carefully
    before clicking Submit!

    Forensic psychologists are charged with tasks such as determining adjudicative
    competency, risk of future dangerousness, insanity, suitability for child custody, and
    competence to waive Miranda rights. As a forensic interviewer, your observations provide
    a roadmap for the work of forensic psychologists. Forensic psychologists and court
    personnel depend on the accuracy of documentation.

    An MSE helps you organize your observations. It is structured around traits and
    behaviors, such as appearance, mood/affect, speech/language, thought process, thought
    content, and perception. An MSE may include any questions that shed light on these traits
    and behaviors. In this Discussion, you analyze the use and benefits of an MSE with two
    different suspect/witness types.

    To prepare for this Discussion:

    Read the chapter in the LeBlond et al. text. Pay close attention to Section 1 regarding
    the MSE.

    Read the Polanski article, and note the section on the use of the MSE across cultures
    and age groups.

    Post a response to the following:

    How does an MSE prepare a forensic psychologist for an interview with an individual
    with cognitive impairment as opposed to a person without such an impairment?
    Discuss which component(s) of the MSE you believe is/are most valuable when
    working with each population, and why.
    Which items on the MSE may stimulate follow-up questioning, and why?
    What interview strategies would a forensic psychologist consider when working with
    each population?

    Note: Support your postings and responses with specific references to the
    Learning Resources and any additional sources you identify using both in-text
    citations and complete references in APA format.

    Read a selection of your colleagues' postings.

    Respond to at least two of your colleagues' initial Discussion assignment postings in one
    or more of the following ways:

    Expand on your colleague’s analysis of the use and benefits of the MSE for a certain
    interviewee-type.
    Offer an alternative perspective on your colleague’s posting.
    Ask a probing question and provide insight into how you would answer your question
    and why.
    Ask a probing question, and provide the foundation, or rationale, for the question.
    Expand on your colleague’s posting by offering a new perspective or insight.
    Agree with a colleague and offer additional (new) supporting information for
    consideration.
    Disagree with a colleague by respectfully discussing and supporting a different
    perspective.

    MENTAL STATUS EXAM OBSERVATION AND
    REPORT

    The purpose of an MSE is to prepare forensic psychologists for their work with suspects, witnesses, or victims of a
    crime. The psychologist is interested in an interviewee’s ability to recall details, his or her emotional state, and his or
    her resolve in the face of intense questioning.

    In Part I of this assignment, you observe an interviewer asking questions that shed light on these traits and
    abilities. You use the MSE template to record your observations of the interviewee’s behavior.

    There are important differences between this exercise and “real life.” In “real life” the victim of the crime could speak
    for herself, but in this exercise the only evidence is the videotaped interview and the grainy film from a simulated
    security camera. Also, in “real life” you would probably have only one chance to interview the witness; in this
    exercise, you are able to observe the interview multiple times.

    To prepare for this Application Assignment:

    Read all of the required Learning Resources.
    View the simulated security camera video footage in the media, conduct a Mental Status Exam, found in this
    week’s Learning Resources
    Review the MSE template before viewing the MSE media.
    Complete the MSE template while viewing the MSE video. Be sure to cite evidence that supports your
    observations.

    For Part 2 of this Assignment, you will write a 3– to 5–page report based on your observations. The report is
    designed to summarize your observations and provide recommendations for fellow professionals.

    To prepare for this Assignment:

    Review the MSE template that you completed in Part 1.
    Read the sample MSE report included in the Learning Resources.
    Read the Gordon & Fleischer chapter on writing a report.
    Read the forensic report writing tips at forensicmind.com. (Note: Bear in mind that these tips are directed at
    forensic psychiatrists, not forensic interviewers. As a forensic interviewer, you will not be diagnosing mental
    disorders, prescribing medication, judging the effects of medication, etc.)
    Review the APA Professional Guidelines (Week 1 Learning Resources).

    The Assignment:

    Submit the MSE Template and a 3– to 5–page report that contains two sections:

    1. Summary of observations
    Summary of each component area of the MSE. Provide examples from the video.

    2. Recommendations for fellow mental health and legal professionals that include:

    WEEK 5: AT A GLANCE
    THE MENTAL STATUS EXAM

    INTRODUCTION
    If you were a surgeon, would you go into an
    operating room without knowing the condition of
    your patient? Of course not! The stakes are just
    as high in the legal system. As a forensic
    interviewer/evaluator, your observations guide the
    work of legal and mental health professionals.
    Your observations can be instrumental in
    determining the outcome of a legal investigation.

    This week, you are introduced to a tool known as
    a Mental Status Exam (MSE). Forensic
    professionals perform MSEs to document the
    cognitive and emotional state of suspects,
    witnesses, or victims of crime. You consider the
    positive contributions of the MSE to legal investigations and consider the use of the MSE with
    certain types of suspects and witnesses. You complete an MSE template designed to capture the
    mental status of a forensic interviewee. Finally, you develop a report that summarizes and makes
    recommendations based on the MSE interview that you observed. The observations and
    recommendations in the MSE report have the potential to guide legal and mental health
    professionals in their ongoing interviews and interrogation activities.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES
    Students will:

    Analyze the use and benefits of the Mental Status Exam with designated interviewee-types
    Complete a Mental Status Exam template
    Create a Mental Status Exam report

    USE AND BENEFITS OF THE MENTAL
    STATUS EXAM

    Important Note: For all Discussions in this course, you are required to
    complete your initial Discussion assignment post before you will be able to view
    and respond to your colleagues’ postings. Begin by clicking on the “Post to
    Discussion Question” link, and then select “Create Thread” to complete your
    initial post. Remember, once you click Submit, you cannot delete or edit your
    own posts, and you cannot post anonymously. Please check your post carefully
    before clicking Submit!

    Forensic psychologists are charged with tasks such as determining adjudicative
    competency, risk of future dangerousness, insanity, suitability for child custody, and
    competence to waive Miranda rights. As a forensic interviewer, your observations provide
    a roadmap for the work of forensic psychologists. Forensic psychologists and court
    personnel depend on the accuracy of documentation.

    An MSE helps you organize your observations. It is structured around traits and
    behaviors, such as appearance, mood/affect, speech/language, thought process, thought
    content, and perception. An MSE may include any questions that shed light on these traits
    and behaviors. In this Discussion, you analyze the use and benefits of an MSE with two
    different suspect/witness types.

    To prepare for this Discussion:

    Read the chapter in the LeBlond et al. text. Pay close attention to Section 1 regarding
    the MSE.

    Read the Polanski article, and note the section on the use of the MSE across cultures
    and age groups.

    Post a response to the following:

    How does an MSE prepare a forensic psychologist for an interview with an individual
    with cognitive impairment as opposed to a person without such an impairment?
    Discuss which component(s) of the MSE you believe is/are most valuable when
    working with each population, and why.
    Which items on the MSE may stimulate follow-up questioning, and why?
    What interview strategies would a forensic psychologist consider when working with
    each population?

    Note: Support your postings and responses with specific references to the
    Learning Resources and any additional sources you identify using both in-text
    citations and complete references in APA format.

    Read a selection of your colleagues' postings.

    Respond to at least two of your colleagues' initial Discussion assignment postings in one
    or more of the following ways:

    Expand on your colleague’s analysis of the use and benefits of the MSE for a certain
    interviewee-type.
    Offer an alternative perspective on your colleague’s posting.
    Ask a probing question and provide insight into how you would answer your question
    and why.
    Ask a probing question, and provide the foundation, or rationale, for the question.
    Expand on your colleague’s posting by offering a new perspective or insight.
    Agree with a colleague and offer additional (new) supporting information for
    consideration.
    Disagree with a colleague by respectfully discussing and supporting a different
    perspective.

    MENTAL STATUS EXAM OBSERVATION AND
    REPORT

    The purpose of an MSE is to prepare forensic psychologists for their work with suspects, witnesses, or victims of a
    crime. The psychologist is interested in an interviewee’s ability to recall details, his or her emotional state, and his or
    her resolve in the face of intense questioning.

    In Part I of this assignment, you observe an interviewer asking questions that shed light on these traits and
    abilities. You use the MSE template to record your observations of the interviewee’s behavior.

    There are important differences between this exercise and “real life.” In “real life” the victim of the crime could speak
    for herself, but in this exercise the only evidence is the videotaped interview and the grainy film from a simulated
    security camera. Also, in “real life” you would probably have only one chance to interview the witness; in this
    exercise, you are able to observe the interview multiple times.

    To prepare for this Application Assignment:

    Read all of the required Learning Resources.
    View the simulated security camera video footage in the media, conduct a Mental Status Exam, found in this
    week’s Learning Resources
    Review the MSE template before viewing the MSE media.
    Complete the MSE template while viewing the MSE video. Be sure to cite evidence that supports your
    observations.

    For Part 2 of this Assignment, you will write a 3– to 5–page report based on your observations. The report is
    designed to summarize your observations and provide recommendations for fellow professionals.

    To prepare for this Assignment:

    Review the MSE template that you completed in Part 1.
    Read the sample MSE report included in the Learning Resources.
    Read the Gordon & Fleischer chapter on writing a report.
    Read the forensic report writing tips at forensicmind.com. (Note: Bear in mind that these tips are directed at
    forensic psychiatrists, not forensic interviewers. As a forensic interviewer, you will not be diagnosing mental
    disorders, prescribing medication, judging the effects of medication, etc.)
    Review the APA Professional Guidelines (Week 1 Learning Resources).

    The Assignment:

    Submit the MSE Template and a 3– to 5–page report that contains two sections:

    1. Summary of observations
    Summary of each component area of the MSE. Provide examples from the video.

    2. Recommendations for fellow mental health and legal professionals that include:

    **Topic of Research Paper:**

    A Study of the Relationship between Generalized Anxiety Disorder Using the GAD-7 and Shyness Using the Expanded Revised Shyness Scale in College Students

    Research Question:

    Is there a relationship between anxiety and shyness among college students?

    Hypothesis:

    College students with higher levels of anxiety will have higher levels of shyness.

    **Annotated Bibliography Corrected**

    I need the graded annotated bibliography attached, corrected. My teacher has added notes on it indicating what needs to be corrected. I need two more updated sources and to remove the ones she has suggested.

    **Literature Review & Purpose Paragraph**

    Submit your literature review, which should be AT LEAST 3 PAGES of the body of your literature review.

    Submit with your literature review the purpose paragraph, the title page and a reference page of just the references you have cited in your literature review.

    Grading will be based on organization, critical review of the past research, your discussion of the relevance of the past research to your current study (clarity), APA format based on 7th edition, and grammar.

    I have added some examples of how it needs to be.

    We have to turn in a copy of Copyleaks report for all assignments to make sure it’s human.

    **## APAstyleheadingsbasedon7thedition.pdf**

    Title of Paper

    Begin your paper with the paper title at the top of the first page of text. The paper title

    acts as a de facto Level 1 heading: It is centered and in bold title case font. Do not use the

    heading “Introduction”; text at the beginning of the paper is assumed to be the introduction.

    APA Style headings have five possible levels. Each main section starts with the highest

    level of heading, even if one section has fewer levels of subheading than another section. For

    example, in a paper with Level 1 Method, Results, and Discussion headings, the Method and

    Results sections may each have two levels of subheading (Levels 2 and 3), and the Discussion

    section may have only one level of subheading (Level 2).

    Level 2 Heading in the Introduction

    Use Level 2 headings for any headings within the introduction, Level 3 for subsections of

    any Level 2 headings, and so on.

    Level 2 Heading in the Introduction

    Avoid having only one subsection heading within a section, just like in an outline. Use

    at least two subsection headings within a section or use no subsection headings at all (e.g., in an

    outline, a section numbered with a Roman numeral would be divided into either a minimum of A

    and B subsections or no subsections; an A subsection would not stand alone).

    Level 1 Heading for First Main Section After the Introduction

    After the introduction (regardless of whether it includes headings), use a Level 1 heading

    for the next main section of the paper (e.g., Method).

    Level 2 Heading

    Use Level 2 headings for subsections of Level 1 headings. Do not label headings with

    numbers or letters.

    Level 2 Heading

    All topics of equal importance should have the same level of heading. For example, in

    a multiexperiment paper, the headings for the Method and Results sections for Experiment 1

    should be the same level as the headings for the Method and Results sections for Experiment

    2, with parallel wording. In a single-experiment paper, the Method, Results, and Discussion

    2

    sections should all have the same heading level.

    Level 3 Heading

    Use Level 3 headings for subsections of Level 2 headings. Do not use abbreviations in

    headings unless they already defined in the text.

    Level 3 Heading

    The number of levels of heading needed for a paper depends on its length and complexity.

    Three levels of heading is average.

    Level 4 Heading. Use Level 4 headings for subsections of Level 3 headings. Use only

    the number of headings necessary to differentiate distinct sections in your paper. Short student

    papers may not require any headings.

    Level 4 Heading. It is not necessary to add blank lines before or after headings, even if a

    heading falls at the end of a page. Do not add extra spacing between paragraphs.

    Level 5 Heading. Use Level 5 headings for subsections of Level 4 headings. In the

    Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (7th ed.), Table 2.3 shows how

    to format each level of heading, Figure 2.4 demonstrates the use of headings in the introduction,

    and Figure 2.5 lists all the headings used in a sample paper in the correct format. In the Concise

    Guide to APA Style (7th ed.), this content is found in Table 1.3, Figure 1.3, and Figure 1.4,

    respectively.

    Level 5 Heading. The sample papers at the end of Chapter 2 in the Publication Manual

    and Chapter 1 in the Concise Guide show the use of headings in context. Additional sample

    papers can be found on the APA Style website (https://apastyle.apa.org)

    More information on heading levels can be found in the Publication
    Manual of the American Psychological Association (7th ed.) Section 2.27
    and in the Concise Guide to APA Style (7th ed.) Section 1.26.

    Hi Candi, This is a good start for the assignment. There are 5 points deducted because the required full-text
    articles were not provided. There is opportunity to gain more points when they are received for further grading.
    There are a few formatting issues identified in the paper. Additionally, you provide 2 articles to establish validity
    for the GAD-7 and 2 articles for the Shyness Scale. This is not necessary. Your articles (7) should be focused on
    information about shyness in college students, anxiety in college students, or the relationship between these 2
    factors in college students or young adults. There is feedback provided in the paper. Dr. Hodges-Crowder

    Use Level 2 headings for any headings within the introduction, Level 3 for subsections of

    any Level 2 headings, and so on.

    Level 2 Heading in the Introduction

    Avoid having only one subsection heading within a section, just like in an outline. Use

    at least two subsection headings within a section or use no subsection headings at all (e.g., in an

    outline, a section numbered with a Roman numeral would be divided into either a minimum of A

    and B subsections or no subsections; an A subsection would not stand alone).

    Level 1 Heading for First Main Section After the Introduction

    After the introduction (regardless of whether it includes headings), use a Level 1 heading

    for the next main section of the paper (e.g., Method).

    Level 2 Heading

    Use Level 2 headings for subsections of Level 1 headings. Do not label headings with

    numbers or letters.

    Level 2 Heading

    All topics of equal importance should have the same level of heading. For example, in

    a multiexperiment paper, the headings for the Method and Results sections for Experiment 1

    should be the same level as the headings for the Method and Results sections for Experiment

    2, with parallel wording. In a single-experiment paper, the Method, Results, and Discussion

    2

    sections should all have the same heading level.

    Level 3 Heading

    Use Level 3 headings for subsections of Level 2 headings. Do not use abbreviations in

    headings unless they already defined in the text.

    Level 3 Heading

    The number of levels of heading needed for a paper depends on its length and complexity.

    Three levels of heading is average.

    Level 4 Heading. Use Level 4 headings for subsections of Level 3 headings. Use only

    the number of headings necessary to differentiate distinct sections in your paper. Short student

    papers may not require any headings.

    Level 4 Heading. It is not necessary to add blank lines before or after headings, even if a

    heading falls at the end of a page. Do not add extra spacing between paragraphs.

    Level 5 Heading. Use Level 5 headings for subsections of Level 4 headings. In the

    Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (7th ed.), Table 2.3 shows how

    to format each level of heading, Figure 2.4 demonstrates the use of headings in the introduction,

    and Figure 2.5 lists all the headings used in a sample paper in the correct format. In the Concise

    Guide to APA Style (7th ed.), this content is found in Table 1.3, Figure 1.3, and Figure 1.4,

    respectively.

    Level 5 Heading. The sample papers at the end of Chapter 2 in the Publication Manual

    and Chapter 1 in the Concise Guide show the use of headings in context. Additional sample

    papers can be found on the APA Style website (https://apastyle.apa.org)

    More information on heading levels can be found in the Publication
    Manual of the American Psychological Association (7th ed.) Section 2.27
    and in the Concise Guide to APA Style (7th ed.) Section 1.26.

    **## WhatisCognitionmini-lecture.html**

    The process of learning develops our expectations of the social world.  Cognition is how we use that learned knowledge to expect things and make decisions on what we experience.  We take in information; retrieve experiences/beliefs/attitudes that are related and make conclusions/decisions. Sometimes this happens fast (automatically) and sometimes we will think think through things in a more careful manner.

    ![](https://www.sweetstudy.com/questions/psy-200soc-200-social-psychologysocial-final)

    **## KeyTakeaways.html**

    – Human beings respond to the social challenges they face by relying on their substantial cognitive capacities.
    – Our knowledge about and our responses to social events are developed and determined by operant learning, associational learning, and observational learning.
    – One outcome of our experiences is the development of mental representations about our environments—schemas and attitudes. Once they have developed, our schemas influence our subsequent learning, such that the new people and situations that we encounter are interpreted and understood in terms of our existing knowledge.
    – Accommodation occurs when existing schemas change on the basis of new information. Assimilation occurs when our knowledge acts to influence new information in a way that makes the conflicting information fit with our existing schemas.
    – Because our expectations influence our attention and responses to, and our memory for, new information, often in a way that leads our expectations to be maintained, assimilation is generally more likely than accommodation.
    – Schemas serve as energy savers. We are particularly likely to use them when we are tired or when the situation that we must analyze is complex.

    ![](https://www.sweetstudy.com/questions/psy-200soc-200-social-psychologysocial-final)

    **## KeyTakeaways1.html**

    – We use our schemas and attitudes to help us judge and respond to others. In many cases, this is appropriate, but our expectations can also lead to biases in our judgments of ourselves and others.
    – A good part of our social cognition is spontaneous or automatic, operating without much thought or effort. On the other hand, when we have the time and the motivation to think about things carefully, we may engage in thoughtful, controlled cognition.
    – Which expectations we use to judge others is based on both the situational salience of the things we are judging and the cognitive accessibility of our own schemas and attitudes.
    – Variations in the accessibility of schemas lead to biases such as the availability heuristic, the representativeness heuristic, the false consensus bias, and biases caused by counterfactual thinking.
    – The potential biases that are the result of everyday social cognition can have important consequences, both for us in our everyday lives but even for people who make important decisions affecting many other people. Although biases are common, they are not impossible to control, and psychologists and other scientists are working to help people make better decisions.
    – The operation of cognitive biases, including the potential for new information to distort information already in memory, can help explain the tendency for eyewitnesses to be overconfident and frequently inaccurate in their recollections of what occurred at crime scenes.

    **## SocialCategorization-TheGoodtheBadandtheDangerousmini-lecture.html**

    In the sections in this module you will be exposed to some inconvenient and uncomfortable truths about being a social being.  We can be really horrible to each other! Social Psychology has quite a lot to say about this.

    Social Categorization serves an important purpose for us.  Know who is us vs them gives us purpose, makes us comfortable and teaches important things.  But in the worst case scenario (which unfortunately actually happens very frequently) it devolves into
    [tribalism](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/tribalism)

    When we categorize, we often tend to
    [stereotype](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/stereotype) members of other groups.  This is making broad sweeping assumptions about them.  It is a short cut to what we believe to be knowledge about them.

    Stereotypes can easily move on to
    [prejudice](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/prejudice) wherein we develop negative feelings about members of another group.  And then, that prejudice translates in
    [discrimination](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/discrimination), behaviors that treat that group unfairly.

    Categorization is grouping similar people together

    Stereotyping is making assumptions of all members of a group

    Prejudice is negative feelings about members of a group based on faulty information

    Discrimination is action based on prejudice and stereotyping that has a negative effect on members of a group

    ![](https://www.sweetstudy.com/questions/psy-200soc-200-social-psychologysocial-final)

    **## Gender-NaturevsNurture.html**

    Just like other sets of behaviors/beliefs/attitudes, Gender is mostly LEARNED – not dictated by Y or X chromosomes.

    "Doing Gender" is how we expect certain things from males or females as well as how we ourselves live up to certain expectations depending on whether we are male or female (for the purpose of this course, we will just refer to gender in binary terms – although it is really a spectrum).

    Should he be wearing a dress?

    Should I put on jewelry?

    How would you describe yourself in 2-3 adjectives?  These will probably be gendered.

    In our society we learn that being female is associated with RELATIONSHIPS (nurturing, nice, funny, friendly) and being male is associated with PERFORMANCE (strong, reliable, athletic, hard working).  Both men and women can be all of those things listed in each parentheses, but they are also more likely to highlight the characteristics associated with their gender.

    ![](https://www.sweetstudy.com/questions/psy-200soc-200-social-psychologysocial-final)

    **## LearningBiastextexcerpt.html**

    Associational learning is also implicated in the development of unfair and unjustified racial prejudices. We may dislike people from certain racial or ethnic groups because we frequently see them portrayed in the media as associated with violence, drug use, or terrorism. And we may avoid people with certain physical characteristics simply because they remind us of other people we do not like.

    Lewicki (1985) conducted research that demonstrated the influence of associational learning and how quickly and easily such learning can happen. In his experiment, high school students first had a brief interaction with a female experimenter who had short hair and wore glasses. The study was set up so that the students had to ask the experimenter a question, and (according to random assignment) the experimenter responded in either a negative way or a neutral way toward the participants. Then the students were told to go into a second room in which two experimenters were present and to approach either one of them. The researchers arranged it so that one of the two experimenters looked a lot like the original experimenter and the other one did not (she had longer hair and did not wear glasses). The students were significantly more likely to avoid the experimenter who looked like the original experimenter when that experimenter had been negative to them than when she had treated them neutrally. As a result of associational learning, the negative behavior of the first experimenter unfairly “rubbed off” onto the second.

    Donal Carlston and his colleagues (Mae & Carlston, 2005; Skowronski, Carlston, Mae, & Crawford, 1998) discovered still another way that associational learning can occur: When we say good or bad things about another person in public, the people who hear us say these things associate those characteristics with us, such that they like people who say positive things and dislike people who say negative things. The moral is clear—associational learning is powerful, so be careful what you do and say.

    **## UsingLearningTheoryinMarketingStategies.html**

    Associational learning has long been, and continues to be, an effective tool in marketing and advertising (Hawkins, Best, & Coney, 1998). The general idea is to create an advertisement that has positive features so that it creates enjoyment in the person exposed to it. Because the product being advertised is mentioned in the ad, it becomes associated with the positive feelings that the ad creates. In the end, if everything has gone well, seeing the product online or in a store will then create a positive response in the buyer, leading him or her to be more likely to purchase the product.

    A similar strategy is used by corporations that sponsor teams or events. For instance, if people enjoy watching a college basketball team playing basketball, and if that team is sponsored by a product, such as Pepsi, then people may end up experiencing positive feelings when they view a can of Pepsi. Of course, the sponsor wants to sponsor only good teams and good athletes because these create more pleasurable responses.

    Advertisers use a variety of techniques to create positive advertisements, including enjoyable music, cute babies, attractive models, and funny spokespeople. In one study, Gorn (1982) showed research participants pictures of writing pens of different colors, but paired one of the pens with pleasant music and another with unpleasant music. When given a choice as a free gift, more people chose the pen that had been associated with the pleasant music. In another study, Schemer, Matthes, Wirth, and Textor (2008) found that people were more interested in products that had been embedded in music videos of artists that they liked and less likely to be interested when the products were in videos featuring artists that they did not like.

    Another type of ad that is based on principles of classical conditioning is one that associates fear with the use of a product or behavior, such as those that show pictures of deadly automobile accidents to encourage seatbelt use or images of lung cancer surgery to discourage smoking. These ads have also been found to be effective (Das, de Wit, & Stroebe, 2003; Perloff, 2003; Witte & Allen, 2000), largely because of conditioning.

    Recently, the U.S. government created new negative and graphic images to place on cigarette packs in order to increase an association between negative responses and cigarettes. The idea is that when we see a cigarette and the fear of dying is associated with it, we will be less likely to light up.

    Taken together then, research studies provide ample evidence of the utility of associational learning in advertising, in ads using positive stimuli and in those using negative stimuli. This does not mean, however, that we are always influenced by these ads. The likelihood that associational learning will be successful is greater when we do not know much about the products, where the differences between products are relatively minor, and when we do not think too carefully about the choices (Schemer et al., 2008).

    **## LearningTheories-Observationaltextexcerpt.html**

    ### Observational Learning

    In addition to operant and associational learning, people learn by observing the behavior of others. This is known as observational learning (modeling). To demonstrate the importance of observational learning in children, Bandura and Walters (1959) made a film of a young woman beating up a bobo doll—an inflatable balloon with a weight in the bottom that makes it bob back up when you knock it down. The woman violently hit the doll, shouting “sockeroo!” She also kicked it, sat on it, and hit it with a hammer.

    Bandura showed his film to groups of nursery school children and then let them play in a room in which there were some really fun toys. To create some frustration in the children, Bandura let the children play with the fun toys for only a couple of minutes before taking them away. Then Bandura gave the children a chance to play with the bobo doll. You probably won’t be surprised to hear that many of the children imitated the young woman in the film. They punched the bobo doll, shouted “sockeroo,” and hit the doll with a hammer.

    For some of the children, the female model was shown being rewarded for engaging in the behavior, and for other children, she was punished. In support of the principles of operant learning, Bandura’s study found that the children were more likely to be aggressive when the model had been rewarded for the behavior and were less likely to be so when the model had been punished. But even the children who did not see the model receive any reward nevertheless imitated the behavior to some extent. One of the major contributions of this study is the demonstration that children learned new types of aggressive behaviors simply by observing and imitating others.

    Observational learning is involved in much of our learning about our social worlds. Observational learning teaches us that Hank is friendly, that Joanna is selfish, and that Frankie has a crush on Malik. In other cases, our knowledge comes more indirectly, from what we read in books or see on TV, or from what our friends tell us, for instance.

    Observational learning is useful because it allows people to learn without having to actually engage in what might be a risky behavior. As Bandura put it,

    the prospects for [human] survival would be slim indeed if one could learn only by suffering the consequences of trial and error. For this reason, one does not teach children to swim, adolescents to drive automobiles, and novice medical students to perform surgery by having them discover the appropriate behavior through the consequences of their successes and failures. The more costly and hazardous the possible mistakes, the heavier is the reliance on observational learning from competent learners. (1977, p. 12).

    Bandura considered observational learning to be a fundamental determinant of all social behavior and argued that it is most likely to lead to learning when people pay attention to the behavior of models and are highly motivated to imitate the models.

    **## KeyTakeaways7.html**

    – Beliefs about the characteristics of the groups and the members of those groups are known as stereotypes.
    – Prejudice refers to an unjustifiable negative attitude toward an outgroup.
    – Stereotypes and prejudice may create discrimination.
    – Stereotyping and prejudice begin from social categorization—the natural cognitive process by which we place individuals into social groups.
    – Social categorization influences our perceptions of groups—for instance, the perception of outgroup homogeneity.
    – Once our stereotypes and prejudices become established, they are difficult to change and may lead to self-fulfilling prophecies, such that our expectations about the group members make the stereotypes come true.
    – Stereotypes may influence our performance on important tasks through stereotype threat.

    ### How do we Learn?

    Human beings are not born knowing things.  Think of a baby – think of all the things they are going to learn – just in the first 2 years.  Now think of everything you learn up until adulthood. What about things you are still learning? Not just behaviors (HOW to do something), but also attitudes and beliefs – WHY you do something.

    Social Psychologist have many theories explaining these processes.  Learning is a lifelong process that helps individuals learn culture and develop their personality.

    ![](https://www.sweetstudy.com/questions/psy-200soc-200-social-psychologysocial-final)

    **## KeyTakeaways8.html**

    – Ingroup favoritism is a fundamental and evolutionarily functional aspect of human perception, and it occurs even in groups that are not particularly meaningful.
    – Ingroup favoritism is caused by a variety of variables, but particularly important is self-concern: We experience positive social identity as a result of our membership in valued social groups.
    – Ingroup favoritism develops early in children and influences our behavior toward ingroup and outgroup members in a variety of ways.
    – Personality dimensions that relate to ingroup favoritism include authoritarianism and social dominance orientation—dimensions that relate to less ingroup favoritism include a desire to control one’s prejudice and humanism.
    – There are at least some cultural differences in the tendency to show ingroup favoritism and to stereotype others.
    – Changing our stereotypes and prejudices is not easy, and attempting to suppress them may backfire. However, with appropriate effort, we can reduce our tendency to rely on our stereotypes and prejudices.
    – One approach to changing stereotypes and prejudice is by changing social norms—for instance, through education and laws enforcing equality.
    – Prejudice will change faster when it is confronted by people who see it occurring. Confronting prejudice may be embarrassing, but it also can make us feel that we have done the right thing.
    – Intergroup attitudes will be improved when we can lead people to focus more on their connections with others. Intergroup contact, extended contact with others who share friends with outgroup members, and a common ingroup identity are all examples of this process.

    **## WhatisCognitionmini-lecture.html**

    The process of learning develops our expectations of the social world.  Cognition is how we use that learned knowledge to expect things and make decisions on what we experience.  We take in information; retrieve experiences/beliefs/attitudes that are related and make conclusions/decisions. Sometimes this happens fast (automatically) and sometimes we will think think through things in a more careful manner.

    ![](https://www.sweetstudy.com/questions/psy-200soc-200-social-psychologysocial-final)

    **## KeyTakeaways.html**

    – Human beings respond to the social challenges they face by relying on their substantial cognitive capacities.
    – Our knowledge about and our responses to social events are developed and determined by operant learning, associational learning, and observational learning.
    – One outcome of our experiences is the development of mental representations about our environments—schemas and attitudes. Once they have developed, our schemas influence our subsequent learning, such that the new people and situations that we encounter are interpreted and understood in terms of our existing knowledge.
    – Accommodation occurs when existing schemas change on the basis of new information. Assimilation occurs when our knowledge acts to influence new information in a way that makes the conflicting information fit with our existing schemas.
    – Because our expectations influence our attention and responses to, and our memory for, new information, often in a way that leads our expectations to be maintained, assimilation is generally more likely than accommodation.
    – Schemas serve as energy savers. We are particularly likely to use them when we are tired or when the situation that we must analyze is complex.

    ![](https://www.sweetstudy.com/questions/psy-200soc-200-social-psychologysocial-final)

    **## KeyTakeaways1.html**

    – We use our schemas and attitudes to help us judge and respond to others. In many cases, this is appropriate, but our expectations can also lead to biases in our judgments of ourselves and others.
    – A good part of our social cognition is spontaneous or automatic, operating without much thought or effort. On the other hand, when we have the time and the motivation to think about things carefully, we may engage in thoughtful, controlled cognition.
    – Which expectations we use to judge others is based on both the situational salience of the things we are judging and the cognitive accessibility of our own schemas and attitudes.
    – Variations in the accessibility of schemas lead to biases such as the availability heuristic, the representativeness heuristic, the false consensus bias, and biases caused by counterfactual thinking.
    – The potential biases that are the result of everyday social cognition can have important consequences, both for us in our everyday lives but even for people who make important decisions affecting many other people. Although biases are common, they are not impossible to control, and psychologists and other scientists are working to help people make better decisions.
    – The operation of cognitive biases, including the potential for new information to distort information already in memory, can help explain the tendency for eyewitnesses to be overconfident and frequently inaccurate in their recollections of what occurred at crime scenes.

    **## SocialCategorization-TheGoodtheBadandtheDangerousmini-lecture.html**

    In the sections in this module you will be exposed to some inconvenient and uncomfortable truths about being a social being.  We can be really horrible to each other! Social Psychology has quite a lot to say about this.

    Social Categorization serves an important purpose for us.  Know who is us vs them gives us purpose, makes us comfortable and teaches important things.  But in the worst case scenario (which unfortunately actually happens very frequently) it devolves into
    [tribalism](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/tribalism)

    When we categorize, we often tend to
    [stereotype](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/stereotype) members of other groups.  This is making broad sweeping assumptions about them.  It is a short cut to what we believe to be knowledge about them.

    Stereotypes can easily move on to
    [prejudice](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/prejudice) wherein we develop negative feelings about members of another group.  And then, that prejudice translates in
    [discrimination](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/discrimination), behaviors that treat that group unfairly.

    Categorization is grouping similar people together

    Stereotyping is making assumptions of all members of a group

    Prejudice is negative feelings about members of a group based on faulty information

    Discrimination is action based on prejudice and stereotyping that has a negative effect on members of a group

    ![](https://www.sweetstudy.com/questions/psy-200soc-200-social-psychologysocial-final)

    **## Gender-NaturevsNurture.html**

    Just like other sets of behaviors/beliefs/attitudes, Gender is mostly LEARNED – not dictated by Y or X chromosomes.

    "Doing Gender" is how we expect certain things from males or females as well as how we ourselves live up to certain expectations depending on whether we are male or female (for the purpose of this course, we will just refer to gender in binary terms – although it is really a spectrum).

    Should he be wearing a dress?

    Should I put on jewelry?

    How would you describe yourself in 2-3 adjectives?  These will probably be gendered.

    In our society we learn that being female is associated with RELATIONSHIPS (nurturing, nice, funny, friendly) and being male is associated with PERFORMANCE (strong, reliable, athletic, hard working).  Both men and women can be all of those things listed in each parentheses, but they are also more likely to highlight the characteristics associated with their gender.

    ![](https://www.sweetstudy.com/questions/psy-200soc-200-social-psychologysocial-final)

    **## LearningBiastextexcerpt.html**

    Associational learning is also implicated in the development of unfair and unjustified racial prejudices. We may dislike people from certain racial or ethnic groups because we frequently see them portrayed in the media as associated with violence, drug use, or terrorism. And we may avoid people with certain physical characteristics simply because they remind us of other people we do not like.

    Lewicki (1985) conducted research that demonstrated the influence of associational learning and how quickly and easily such learning can happen. In his experiment, high school students first had a brief interaction with a female experimenter who had short hair and wore glasses. The study was set up so that the students had to ask the experimenter a question, and (according to random assignment) the experimenter responded in either a negative way or a neutral way toward the participants. Then the students were told to go into a second room in which two experimenters were present and to approach either one of them. The researchers arranged it so that one of the two experimenters looked a lot like the original experimenter and the other one did not (she had longer hair and did not wear glasses). The students were significantly more likely to avoid the experimenter who looked like the original experimenter when that experimenter had been negative to them than when she had treated them neutrally. As a result of associational learning, the negative behavior of the first experimenter unfairly “rubbed off” onto the second.

    Donal Carlston and his colleagues (Mae & Carlston, 2005; Skowronski, Carlston, Mae, & Crawford, 1998) discovered still another way that associational learning can occur: When we say good or bad things about another person in public, the people who hear us say these things associate those characteristics with us, such that they like people who say positive things and dislike people who say negative things. The moral is clear—associational learning is powerful, so be careful what you do and say.

    **## UsingLearningTheoryinMarketingStategies.html**

    Associational learning has long been, and continues to be, an effective tool in marketing and advertising (Hawkins, Best, & Coney, 1998). The general idea is to create an advertisement that has positive features so that it creates enjoyment in the person exposed to it. Because the product being advertised is mentioned in the ad, it becomes associated with the positive feelings that the ad creates. In the end, if everything has gone well, seeing the product online or in a store will then create a positive response in the buyer, leading him or her to be more likely to purchase the product.

    A similar strategy is used by corporations that sponsor teams or events. For instance, if people enjoy watching a college basketball team playing basketball, and if that team is sponsored by a product, such as Pepsi, then people may end up experiencing positive feelings when they view a can of Pepsi. Of course, the sponsor wants to sponsor only good teams and good athletes because these create more pleasurable responses.

    Advertisers use a variety of techniques to create positive advertisements, including enjoyable music, cute babies, attractive models, and funny spokespeople. In one study, Gorn (1982) showed research participants pictures of writing pens of different colors, but paired one of the pens with pleasant music and another with unpleasant music. When given a choice as a free gift, more people chose the pen that had been associated with the pleasant music. In another study, Schemer, Matthes, Wirth, and Textor (2008) found that people were more interested in products that had been embedded in music videos of artists that they liked and less likely to be interested when the products were in videos featuring artists that they did not like.

    Another type of ad that is based on principles of classical conditioning is one that associates fear with the use of a product or behavior, such as those that show pictures of deadly automobile accidents to encourage seatbelt use or images of lung cancer surgery to discourage smoking. These ads have also been found to be effective (Das, de Wit, & Stroebe, 2003; Perloff, 2003; Witte & Allen, 2000), largely because of conditioning.

    Recently, the U.S. government created new negative and graphic images to place on cigarette packs in order to increase an association between negative responses and cigarettes. The idea is that when we see a cigarette and the fear of dying is associated with it, we will be less likely to light up.

    Taken together then, research studies provide ample evidence of the utility of associational learning in advertising, in ads using positive stimuli and in those using negative stimuli. This does not mean, however, that we are always influenced by these ads. The likelihood that associational learning will be successful is greater when we do not know much about the products, where the differences between products are relatively minor, and when we do not think too carefully about the choices (Schemer et al., 2008).

    **## LearningTheories-Observationaltextexcerpt.html**

    ### Observational Learning

    In addition to operant and associational learning, people learn by observing the behavior of others. This is known as observational learning (modeling). To demonstrate the importance of observational learning in children, Bandura and Walters (1959) made a film of a young woman beating up a bobo doll—an inflatable balloon with a weight in the bottom that makes it bob back up when you knock it down. The woman violently hit the doll, shouting “sockeroo!” She also kicked it, sat on it, and hit it with a hammer.

    Bandura showed his film to groups of nursery school children and then let them play in a room in which there were some really fun toys. To create some frustration in the children, Bandura let the children play with the fun toys for only a couple of minutes before taking them away. Then Bandura gave the children a chance to play with the bobo doll. You probably won’t be surprised to hear that many of the children imitated the young woman in the film. They punched the bobo doll, shouted “sockeroo,” and hit the doll with a hammer.

    For some of the children, the female model was shown being rewarded for engaging in the behavior, and for other children, she was punished. In support of the principles of operant learning, Bandura’s study found that the children were more likely to be aggressive when the model had been rewarded for the behavior and were less likely to be so when the model had been punished. But even the children who did not see the model receive any reward nevertheless imitated the behavior to some extent. One of the major contributions of this study is the demonstration that children learned new types of aggressive behaviors simply by observing and imitating others.

    Observational learning is involved in much of our learning about our social worlds. Observational learning teaches us that Hank is friendly, that Joanna is selfish, and that Frankie has a crush on Malik. In other cases, our knowledge comes more indirectly, from what we read in books or see on TV, or from what our friends tell us, for instance.

    Observational learning is useful because it allows people to learn without having to actually engage in what might be a risky behavior. As Bandura put it,

    the prospects for [human] survival would be slim indeed if one could learn only by suffering the consequences of trial and error. For this reason, one does not teach children to swim, adolescents to drive automobiles, and novice medical students to perform surgery by having them discover the appropriate behavior through the consequences of their successes and failures. The more costly and hazardous the possible mistakes, the heavier is the reliance on observational learning from competent learners. (1977, p. 12).

    Bandura considered observational learning to be a fundamental determinant of all social behavior and argued that it is most likely to lead to learning when people pay attention to the behavior of models and are highly motivated to imitate the models.

    **## WhatisCognitionmini-lecture.html**

    The process of learning develops our expectations of the social world.  Cognition is how we use that learned knowledge to expect things and make decisions on what we experience.  We take in information; retrieve experiences/beliefs/attitudes that are related and make conclusions/decisions. Sometimes this happens fast (automatically) and sometimes we will think think through things in a more careful manner.

    ![](https://www.sweetstudy.com/questions/psy-200soc-200-social-psychologysocial-final)

    **## KeyTakeaways.html**

    – Human beings respond to the social challenges they face by relying on their substantial cognitive capacities.
    – Our knowledge about and our responses to social events are developed and determined by operant learning, associational learning, and observational learning.
    – One outcome of our experiences is the development of mental representations about our environments—schemas and attitudes. Once they have developed, our schemas influence our subsequent learning, such that the new people and situations that we encounter are interpreted and understood in terms of our existing knowledge.
    – Accommodation occurs when existing schemas change on the basis of new information. Assimilation occurs when our knowledge acts to influence new information in a way that makes the conflicting information fit with our existing schemas.
    – Because our expectations influence our attention and responses to, and our memory for, new information, often in a way that leads our expectations to be maintained, assimilation is generally more likely than accommodation.
    – Schemas serve as energy savers. We are particularly likely to use them when we are tired or when the situation that we must analyze is complex.

    ![](https://www.sweetstudy.com/questions/psy-200soc-200-social-psychologysocial-final)

    **## KeyTakeaways1.html**

    – We use our schemas and attitudes to help us judge and respond to others. In many cases, this is appropriate, but our expectations can also lead to biases in our judgments of ourselves and others.
    – A good part of our social cognition is spontaneous or automatic, operating without much thought or effort. On the other hand, when we have the time and the motivation to think about things carefully, we may engage in thoughtful, controlled cognition.
    – Which expectations we use to judge others is based on both the situational salience of the things we are judging and the cognitive accessibility of our own schemas and attitudes.
    – Variations in the accessibility of schemas lead to biases such as the availability heuristic, the representativeness heuristic, the false consensus bias, and biases caused by counterfactual thinking.
    – The potential biases that are the result of everyday social cognition can have important consequences, both for us in our everyday lives but even for people who make important decisions affecting many other people. Although biases are common, they are not impossible to control, and psychologists and other scientists are working to help people make better decisions.
    – The operation of cognitive biases, including the potential for new information to distort information already in memory, can help explain the tendency for eyewitnesses to be overconfident and frequently inaccurate in their recollections of what occurred at crime scenes.

    **## SocialCategorization-TheGoodtheBadandtheDangerousmini-lecture.html**

    In the sections in this module you will be exposed to some inconvenient and uncomfortable truths about being a social being.  We can be really horrible to each other! Social Psychology has quite a lot to say about this.

    Social Categorization serves an important purpose for us.  Know who is us vs them gives us purpose, makes us comfortable and teaches important things.  But in the worst case scenario (which unfortunately actually happens very frequently) it devolves into
    [tribalism](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/tribalism)

    When we categorize, we often tend to
    [stereotype](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/stereotype) members of other groups.  This is making broad sweeping assumptions about them.  It is a short cut to what we believe to be knowledge about them.

    Stereotypes can easily move on to
    [prejudice](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/prejudice) wherein we develop negative feelings about members of another group.  And then, that prejudice translates in
    [discrimination](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/discrimination), behaviors that treat that group unfairly.

    Categorization is grouping similar people together

    Stereotyping is making assumptions of all members of a group

    Prejudice is negative feelings about members of a group based on faulty information

    Discrimination is action based on prejudice and stereotyping that has a negative effect on members of a group

    ![](https://www.sweetstudy.com/questions/psy-200soc-200-social-psychologysocial-final)

    **## Gender-NaturevsNurture.html**

    Just like other sets of behaviors/beliefs/attitudes, Gender is mostly LEARNED – not dictated by Y or X chromosomes.

    "Doing Gender" is how we expect certain things from males or females as well as how we ourselves live up to certain expectations depending on whether we are male or female (for the purpose of this course, we will just refer to gender in binary terms – although it is really a spectrum).

    Should he be wearing a dress?

    Should I put on jewelry?

    How would you describe yourself in 2-3 adjectives?  These will probably be gendered.

    In our society we learn that being female is associated with RELATIONSHIPS (nurturing, nice, funny, friendly) and being male is associated with PERFORMANCE (strong, reliable, athletic, hard working).  Both men and women can be all of those things listed in each parentheses, but they are also more likely to highlight the characteristics associated with their gender.

    ![](https://www.sweetstudy.com/questions/psy-200soc-200-social-psychologysocial-final)

    **## LearningBiastextexcerpt.html**

    Associational learning is also implicated in the development of unfair and unjustified racial prejudices. We may dislike people from certain racial or ethnic groups because we frequently see them portrayed in the media as associated with violence, drug use, or terrorism. And we may avoid people with certain physical characteristics simply because they remind us of other people we do not like.

    Lewicki (1985) conducted research that demonstrated the influence of associational learning and how quickly and easily such learning can happen. In his experiment, high school students first had a brief interaction with a female experimenter who had short hair and wore glasses. The study was set up so that the students had to ask the experimenter a question, and (according to random assignment) the experimenter responded in either a negative way or a neutral way toward the participants. Then the students were told to go into a second room in which two experimenters were present and to approach either one of them. The researchers arranged it so that one of the two experimenters looked a lot like the original experimenter and the other one did not (she had longer hair and did not wear glasses). The students were significantly more likely to avoid the experimenter who looked like the original experimenter when that experimenter had been negative to them than when she had treated them neutrally. As a result of associational learning, the negative behavior of the first experimenter unfairly “rubbed off” onto the second.

    Donal Carlston and his colleagues (Mae & Carlston, 2005; Skowronski, Carlston, Mae, & Crawford, 1998) discovered still another way that associational learning can occur: When we say good or bad things about another person in public, the people who hear us say these things associate those characteristics with us, such that they like people who say positive things and dislike people who say negative things. The moral is clear—associational learning is powerful, so be careful what you do and say.

    **## UsingLearningTheoryinMarketingStategies.html**

    Associational learning has long been, and continues to be, an effective tool in marketing and advertising (Hawkins, Best, & Coney, 1998). The general idea is to create an advertisement that has positive features so that it creates enjoyment in the person exposed to it. Because the product being advertised is mentioned in the ad, it becomes associated with the positive feelings that the ad creates. In the end, if everything has gone well, seeing the product online or in a store will then create a positive response in the buyer, leading him or her to be more likely to purchase the product.

    A similar strategy is used by corporations that sponsor teams or events. For instance, if people enjoy watching a college basketball team playing basketball, and if that team is sponsored by a product, such as Pepsi, then people may end up experiencing positive feelings when they view a can of Pepsi. Of course, the sponsor wants to sponsor only good teams and good athletes because these create more pleasurable responses.

    Advertisers use a variety of techniques to create positive advertisements, including enjoyable music, cute babies, attractive models, and funny spokespeople. In one study, Gorn (1982) showed research participants pictures of writing pens of different colors, but paired one of the pens with pleasant music and another with unpleasant music. When given a choice as a free gift, more people chose the pen that had been associated with the pleasant music. In another study, Schemer, Matthes, Wirth, and Textor (2008) found that people were more interested in products that had been embedded in music videos of artists that they liked and less likely to be interested when the products were in videos featuring artists that they did not like.

    Another type of ad that is based on principles of classical conditioning is one that associates fear with the use of a product or behavior, such as those that show pictures of deadly automobile accidents to encourage seatbelt use or images of lung cancer surgery to discourage smoking. These ads have also been found to be effective (Das, de Wit, & Stroebe, 2003; Perloff, 2003; Witte & Allen, 2000), largely because of conditioning.

    Recently, the U.S. government created new negative and graphic images to place on cigarette packs in order to increase an association between negative responses and cigarettes. The idea is that when we see a cigarette and the fear of dying is associated with it, we will be less likely to light up.

    Taken together then, research studies provide ample evidence of the utility of associational learning in advertising, in ads using positive stimuli and in those using negative stimuli. This does not mean, however, that we are always influenced by these ads. The likelihood that associational learning will be successful is greater when we do not know much about the products, where the differences between products are relatively minor, and when we do not think too carefully about the choices (Schemer et al., 2008).

    **## LearningTheories-Observationaltextexcerpt.html**

    ### Observational Learning

    In addition to operant and associational learning, people learn by observing the behavior of others. This is known as observational learning (modeling). To demonstrate the importance of observational learning in children, Bandura and Walters (1959) made a film of a young woman beating up a bobo doll—an inflatable balloon with a weight in the bottom that makes it bob back up when you knock it down. The woman violently hit the doll, shouting “sockeroo!” She also kicked it, sat on it, and hit it with a hammer.

    Bandura showed his film to groups of nursery school children and then let them play in a room in which there were some really fun toys. To create some frustration in the children, Bandura let the children play with the fun toys for only a couple of minutes before taking them away. Then Bandura gave the children a chance to play with the bobo doll. You probably won’t be surprised to hear that many of the children imitated the young woman in the film. They punched the bobo doll, shouted “sockeroo,” and hit the doll with a hammer.

    For some of the children, the female model was shown being rewarded for engaging in the behavior, and for other children, she was punished. In support of the principles of operant learning, Bandura’s study found that the children were more likely to be aggressive when the model had been rewarded for the behavior and were less likely to be so when the model had been punished. But even the children who did not see the model receive any reward nevertheless imitated the behavior to some extent. One of the major contributions of this study is the demonstration that children learned new types of aggressive behaviors simply by observing and imitating others.

    Observational learning is involved in much of our learning about our social worlds. Observational learning teaches us that Hank is friendly, that Joanna is selfish, and that Frankie has a crush on Malik. In other cases, our knowledge comes more indirectly, from what we read in books or see on TV, or from what our friends tell us, for instance.

    Observational learning is useful because it allows people to learn without having to actually engage in what might be a risky behavior. As Bandura put it,

    the prospects for [human] survival would be slim indeed if one could learn only by suffering the consequences of trial and error. For this reason, one does not teach children to swim, adolescents to drive automobiles, and novice medical students to perform surgery by having them discover the appropriate behavior through the consequences of their successes and failures. The more costly and hazardous the possible mistakes, the heavier is the reliance on observational learning from competent learners. (1977, p. 12).

    Bandura considered observational learning to be a fundamental determinant of all social behavior and argued that it is most likely to lead to learning when people pay attention to the behavior of models and are highly motivated to imitate the models.

    **## KeyTakeaways7.html**

    – Beliefs about the characteristics of the groups and the members of those groups are known as stereotypes.
    – Prejudice refers to an unjustifiable negative attitude toward an outgroup.
    – Stereotypes and prejudice may create discrimination.
    – Stereotyping and prejudice begin from social categorization—the natural cognitive process by which we place individuals into social groups.
    – Social categorization influences our perceptions of groups—for instance, the perception of outgroup homogeneity.
    – Once our stereotypes and prejudices become established, they are difficult to change and may lead to self-fulfilling prophecies, such that our expectations about the group members make the stereotypes come true.
    – Stereotypes may influence our performance on important tasks through stereotype threat.

    **## LearningTheoriesminilecture.html**

    ### How do we Learn?

    Human beings are not born knowing things.  Think of a baby – think of all the things they are going to learn – just in the first 2 years.  Now think of everything you learn up until adulthood. What about things you are still learning? Not just behaviors (HOW to do something), but also attitudes and beliefs – WHY you do something.

    Social Psychologist have many theories explaining these processes.  Learning is a lifelong process that helps individuals learn culture and develop their personality.

    ![](https://www.sweetstudy.com/questions/psy-200soc-200-social-psychologysocial-final)

    **## KeyTakeaways8.html**

    – Ingroup favoritism is a fundamental and evolutionarily functional aspect of human perception, and it occurs even in groups that are not particularly meaningful.
    – Ingroup favoritism is caused by a variety of variables, but particularly important is self-concern: We experience positive social identity as a result of our membership in valued social groups.
    – Ingroup favoritism develops early in children and influences our behavior toward ingroup and outgroup members in a variety of ways.
    – Personality dimensions that relate to ingroup favoritism include authoritarianism and social dominance orientation—dimensions that relate to less ingroup favoritism include a desire to control one’s prejudice and humanism.
    – There are at least some cultural differences in the tendency to show ingroup favoritism and to stereotype others.
    – Changing our stereotypes and prejudices is not easy, and attempting to suppress them may backfire. However, with appropriate effort, we can reduce our tendency to rely on our stereotypes and prejudices.
    – One approach to changing stereotypes and prejudice is by changing social norms—for instance, through education and laws enforcing equality.
    – Prejudice will change faster when it is confronted by people who see it occurring. Confronting prejudice may be embarrassing, but it also can make us feel that we have done the right thing.
    – Intergroup attitudes will be improved when we can lead people to focus more on their connections with others. Intergroup contact, extended contact with others who share friends with outgroup members, and a common ingroup identity are all examples of this process.

    **Analysis in the Study of Trauma: Part Two Assignment Instructions**

    **Overview**

    This course provides an overview of the aspects of stress and trauma, including examination of seminal texts and concepts. This assignment will establish a foundation to support the course focus on understanding of trauma counseling, theories, and interventions that intersect with a number of traumatic events, how science informs the delivery of effective counseling theory and technique for these clients with the goal of integrating ethical, effective, and biblically grounded care. This assignment will also ground the learner in components of quality doctoral level writing as needed in preparation for the successful completion of the dissertation requirement. These key components are to demonstrate analysis of what you studied from multiple resources on a topic, what new insight you gained from that study, and how you can synthesize that into practice.
    **This assignment consists of three parts,** the
    **Analysis in the Study of Trauma: Part One Assignment,** the
    **Peer-Review Discussion: Analysis in the Study of Trauma,** and
    the
    **Analysis in the Study of Trauma: Part Two Assignment.**

    **Instructions**

    Learners will use:

    (1) grading feedback from the professor on the initial submission of the
    **Analysis in the Study of Trauma: Part One Assignment**

    (2) and the feedback from the
    **Peer-Review Discussion: Analysis in the Study of Trauma**

    and revise their Part One assignment
    **per both sources of feedback** to present an expanded and stronger discussion of the analysis
    **.** The evidence of integration of insight from the classmate reply will be to cite it as personal communication and citation for the journal article shared, In the reference list, the journal article should be listed as an entry, but the personal communication is not listed in the reference list.

    EXAMPLE: David King replies to your thread in the discussion forum and shares insight on challenges with sandwich generation caregivers from the article:

    Cheng, K. J. G., & Santos-Lozada, A. R. (2024). Mental and physical health among 'sandwich' generation working-age adults in the United States: Not all sandwiches are made equal.
    _SSM – Population Health_,
    _26_, 101650.
    [https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ssmph.2024.101650](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ssmph.2024.101650)

    In your text, you could say David King, fellow classmate (personal communication, February 2026) noted that members of the sandwich generation often experience a trauma of grief for many years (Cheng & Santos-Lozada, 2024).

    Learners will then submit that revision into the assignment link for
    **Analysis in the Study of Trauma: Part Two Assignment.**

    **The intent of the revision opportunity is to further synthesize additional insight on their topic of analysis, solidify understanding, and the development of quality doctoral level writing that is aligned with writing the dissertation.**

    **NOTE:** While this submission will also be checked by Turnitin for originality and AI use, it is understood that content of Part Two should have significant match with the earlier submission of Part One, and the concern would be questionable matches other than this.

    Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.

    EDCO 790

    **Traumatology Assignments Overview**

    Throughout EDCO 790, you will conduct a study across the eight weeks of the term on a specific topic and population of interest in traumatology. The purpose of this study is twofold.

    · Help prepare the learner for the dissertation requirements of deepening a single topic of interest over a period of time and presenting the findings using more than one modality.

    ·
    Deepen the learner’s foundational understanding of trauma counseling

    A series of five assignments are integrated across the course modules and weeks, using the scaffolding strategy to give the learner support as new concepts and skills as required for the dissertation. The assignments in this series include:
    **Traumatology Study Foundations Assignment, Traumatology Outline Assignment, Traumatology Annotated Outline Assignment, Peer-Review Discussion: Traumatology Presentation,** and
    **Traumatology Paper Assignment**. This series of assignments is contemplated to help prepare the learner for the dissertation requirements of deepening a single topic of interest over a period of time and presenting the findings using more than one modality.

    Beginning with the
    **Traumatology Study Foundations Assignment**, each study assignment will have five core sections: Discussion of the Topic of Study, Population of Interest, Associated Variables, Biblical Integration, and Topics for Future Research.
    **Note that all written assignments in the study should be submitted in a Word (versus PDF) document with Times New Roman 12-point font, as this is recommended by APA.**

    **Module 1: Week 1 – Traumatology Study Foundations Assignment**

    · This is the foundation of the study, much as the first stage of building a house is to set the foundation.

    · The learner will review The Liberty Way regarding ethical use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the document,
    _Thesis Statements – Defining, Developing, and Evaluating_ (Liberty University Academic Success Center.

    · The learner will identify a specific topic and a specifically focused population for that topic with their study in traumatology

    · The learner will explore the topic and population further through use of AI to more specifically narrowthiese.

    · The learner will conclude this assignment with a paper stating the topic and population for the study as well as a thesis which synthesizes the topic, population, and the main idea and primary conclusion that will capture the reader’s attention.

    **Module 3: Week 3 – Traumatology Outline Assignment**

    · The outline will include initial references that support the main points of the outline, with some initial development of topics throughout each of the 5 main sections of the outline.

    · The learner will review the webpage covering the APA Research Paper Outline format (provided on the assignment page) to present an outline for the introduction, five sections of the study, and conclusion.

    **Module 5: Week 5 – Traumatology Annotated Outline Assignment**

    · The annotated outline is a structured plan for a research paper that builds on the outline of the main sections and sub-sections with brief annotations that describe the purpose, content and references of each part.

    · The learner will review the document for
    _Guidance and Example Annotated Outline_ for understanding and an example to follow.

    · The learner will expand on the outline with annotations for at least 3 points with support from peer-reviewed scholarly articles.

    **Module 6: Week 6 – Peer-Review Discussion: Traumatology Presentation**

    · The presentation provides an opportunity for scholarly presentation on a topic of interest as a required skill for doctoral learners that is used in the dissertation proposal and dissertation final defense.

    · The learner will present their study in a narrated presentation that is developed for a professional audience of emerging experts in the field of traumatology.

    **Module 7: Week 7 – Traumatology Paper Assignment**

    · The paper is the culminating assignment for the study conducted during the EDCO 790 course.

    · The learner will integrate what has been developed through the previous study assignments and feedback from the professor on these to write the final paper.

    SECONDARY TRAUMATIC STRESS 1

    **Traumatology Outline Assignment: Secondary Traumatic Stress Among Child Advocacy Center Victim Advocates**

    This paper focuses on secondary traumatic stress in full-time victim advocates in Children's Advocacy Centers in the United States. Such advocates are exposed to the stories of abuse by children, distressed caregivers, and the intricate case information, which leads to occupational exposure to the trauma of another person (Endsjø et al., 2024; North et al., 2025). Therefore, the study will examine occupational exposure, secondary traumatic stress, and protective workplace conditions within this specific advocacy role.

    I.
    **Discussion of the Topic of Study**

    A. Secondary traumatic stress is a trauma-related response to long-term indirect exposure to the experiences of survivors (Briere & Scott, 2025; Velasco et al., 2025).

    B. Secondary traumatic stress, burnout, and compassion satisfaction in the Child Advocacy Center setting (Endsjø et al., 2024).

    C. Organizational and individual issues influencing secondary traumatic stress and burnout in child welfare settings (Clark et al., 2026; Park et al., 2024).

    II.
    **Population of Interest**

    A. Full-time female victim advocates aged 25 to 44.

    B. Employment in the Children's Advocacy Centers in the United States. Comment by Cheney, Alan B (Community Care and Counseling): I would narrow this a specific county, state, region, or sub-region , e.g., Southeastern US or South Atlantic sub‑region, etc.

    C. At least one year of victim advocacy experience.

    D. Repeated exposure to traumatic narratives, caregiver distress, records, case discussions, and repetition of abuse information.

    E. Direct service after suspected or confirmed child sexual or physical abuse.

    F. Supervisory and organizational support as influences on advocate work outcomes (North et al., 2025)

    III.
    **Variables Associated With the Topic**

    A. Exposure to cumulative trauma, workload pressure, work demands, and lack of support.

    B. Indirect exposure and workplace pressures (Winters et al., 2025).

    C. Severity of secondary traumatic stress, burnout, compassion satisfaction, turnover intention, and professional functioning (Clark et al., 2024).

    D. Supportive supervision, transformational leadership, psychological safety, workplace connectedness, self-care, and resilience practices. (Clark et al., 2024; Clark et al., 2025).

    IV.
    **Biblical Integration**

    A.
    Bearing one another’s burdens as a foundation for compassionate helping (
    _New International Version_[NIV], 2011, Gal. 6:2) Comment by Cheney, Alan B (Community Care and Counseling): Omit this

    B. Sharing sorrow with people who suffer while maintaining a caring presence (
    _NIV,_ 2011, Rom. 12:15)

    C. Spiritual meaning, growth, resilience, and healthy limits in trauma work (Waters & Conley, 2025).

    D. Faith-informed support is to be voluntary, ethically responsive, and not incompatible with professional supervision and organizational protections.

    V.
    **Topics for Future Research**

    A. Multisite studies of the United States that isolate victim advocates of larger child welfare workforces (Endsjø et al., 2024; North et al., 2025).

    B. Role-specific longitudinal research may help explain how repeated exposure changes over time.

    C. Child Advocacy Center-controlled assessments to detect long-lasting protective factors. (Clark et al., 2024; Clark et al., 2026; Park et al., 2024).

    D. Advocate secondary traumatic stress to retention, service continuity, quality of engagement, and multidisciplinary collaboration (Clark et al., 2024; North et al., 2025).

    EDCO 790

    **Traumatology Assignments Overview**

    Throughout EDCO 790, you will conduct a study across the eight weeks of the term on a specific topic and population of interest in traumatology. The purpose of this study is twofold.

    · Help prepare the learner for the dissertation requirements of deepening a single topic of interest over a period of time and presenting the findings using more than one modality.

    ·
    Deepen the learner’s foundational understanding of trauma counseling

    A series of five assignments are integrated across the course modules and weeks, using the scaffolding strategy to give the learner support as new concepts and skills as required for the dissertation. The assignments in this series include:
    **Traumatology Study Foundations Assignment, Traumatology Outline Assignment, Traumatology Annotated Outline Assignment, Peer-Review Discussion: Traumatology Presentation,** and
    **Traumatology Paper Assignment**. This series of assignments is contemplated to help prepare the learner for the dissertation requirements of deepening a single topic of interest over a period of time and presenting the findings using more than one modality.

    Beginning with the
    **Traumatology Study Foundations Assignment**, each study assignment will have five core sections: Discussion of the Topic of Study, Population of Interest, Associated Variables, Biblical Integration, and Topics for Future Research.
    **Note that all written assignments in the study should be submitted in a Word (versus PDF) document with Times New Roman 12-point font, as this is recommended by APA.**

    **Module 1: Week 1 – Traumatology Study Foundations Assignment**

    · This is the foundation of the study, much as the first stage of building a house is to set the foundation.

    · The learner will review The Liberty Way regarding ethical use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the document,
    _Thesis Statements – Defining, Developing, and Evaluating_ (Liberty University Academic Success Center.

    · The learner will identify a specific topic and a specifically focused population for that topic with their study in traumatology

    · The learner will explore the topic and population further through use of AI to more specifically narrowthiese.

    · The learner will conclude this assignment with a paper stating the topic and population for the study as well as a thesis which synthesizes the topic, population, and the main idea and primary conclusion that will capture the reader’s attention.

    **Module 3: Week 3 – Traumatology Outline Assignment**

    · The outline will include initial references that support the main points of the outline, with some initial development of topics throughout each of the 5 main sections of the outline.

    · The learner will review the webpage covering the APA Research Paper Outline format (provided on the assignment page) to present an outline for the introduction, five sections of the study, and conclusion.

    **Module 5: Week 5 – Traumatology Annotated Outline Assignment**

    · The annotated outline is a structured plan for a research paper that builds on the outline of the main sections and sub-sections with brief annotations that describe the purpose, content and references of each part.

    · The learner will review the document for
    _Guidance and Example Annotated Outline_ for understanding and an example to follow.

    · The learner will expand on the outline with annotations for at least 3 points with support from peer-reviewed scholarly articles.

    **Module 6: Week 6 – Peer-Review Discussion: Traumatology Presentation**

    · The presentation provides an opportunity for scholarly presentation on a topic of interest as a required skill for doctoral learners that is used in the dissertation proposal and dissertation final defense.

    · The learner will present their study in a narrated presentation that is developed for a professional audience of emerging experts in the field of traumatology.

    **Module 7: Week 7 – Traumatology Paper Assignment**

    · The paper is the culminating assignment for the study conducted during the EDCO 790 course.

    · The learner will integrate what has been developed through the previous study assignments and feedback from the professor on these to write the final paper.

    SECONDARY TRAUMATIC STRESS 1

    **Traumatology Outline Assignment: Secondary Traumatic Stress Among Child Advocacy Center Victim Advocates**

    This paper focuses on secondary traumatic stress in full-time victim advocates in Children's Advocacy Centers in the United States. Such advocates are exposed to the stories of abuse by children, distressed caregivers, and the intricate case information, which leads to occupational exposure to the trauma of another person (Endsjø et al., 2024; North et al., 2025). Therefore, the study will examine occupational exposure, secondary traumatic stress, and protective workplace conditions within this specific advocacy role.

    I.
    **Discussion of the Topic of Study**

    A. Secondary traumatic stress is a trauma-related response to long-term indirect exposure to the experiences of survivors (Briere & Scott, 2025; Velasco et al., 2025).

    B. Secondary traumatic stress, burnout, and compassion satisfaction in the Child Advocacy Center setting (Endsjø et al., 2024).

    C. Organizational and individual issues influencing secondary traumatic stress and burnout in child welfare settings (Clark et al., 2026; Park et al., 2024).

    II.
    **Population of Interest**

    A. Full-time female victim advocates aged 25 to 44.

    B. Employment in the Children's Advocacy Centers in the United States. Comment by Cheney, Alan B (Community Care and Counseling): I would narrow this a specific county, state, region, or sub-region , e.g., Southeastern US or South Atlantic sub‑region, etc.

    C. At least one year of victim advocacy experience.

    D. Repeated exposure to traumatic narratives, caregiver distress, records, case discussions, and repetition of abuse information.

    E. Direct service after suspected or confirmed child sexual or physical abuse.

    F. Supervisory and organizational support as influences on advocate work outcomes (North et al., 2025)

    III.
    **Variables Associated With the Topic**

    A. Exposure to cumulative trauma, workload pressure, work demands, and lack of support.

    B. Indirect exposure and workplace pressures (Winters et al., 2025).

    C. Severity of secondary traumatic stress, burnout, compassion satisfaction, turnover intention, and professional functioning (Clark et al., 2024).

    D. Supportive supervision, transformational leadership, psychological safety, workplace connectedness, self-care, and resilience practices. (Clark et al., 2024; Clark et al., 2025).

    IV.
    **Biblical Integration**

    A.
    Bearing one another’s burdens as a foundation for compassionate helping (
    _New International Version_[NIV], 2011, Gal. 6:2) Comment by Cheney, Alan B (Community Care and Counseling): Omit this

    B. Sharing sorrow with people who suffer while maintaining a caring presence (
    _NIV,_ 2011, Rom. 12:15)

    C. Spiritual meaning, growth, resilience, and healthy limits in trauma work (Waters & Conley, 2025).

    D. Faith-informed support is to be voluntary, ethically responsive, and not incompatible with professional supervision and organizational protections.

    V.
    **Topics for Future Research**

    A. Multisite studies of the United States that isolate victim advocates of larger child welfare workforces (Endsjø et al., 2024; North et al., 2025).

    B. Role-specific longitudinal research may help explain how repeated exposure changes over time.

    C. Child Advocacy Center-controlled assessments to detect long-lasting protective factors. (Clark et al., 2024; Clark et al., 2026; Park et al., 2024).

    D. Advocate secondary traumatic stress to retention, service continuity, quality of engagement, and multidisciplinary collaboration (Clark et al., 2024; North et al., 2025).

    **Analysis in the Study of Trauma: Part Two Assignment Instructions**

    **Overview**

    This course provides an overview of the aspects of stress and trauma, including examination of seminal texts and concepts. This assignment will establish a foundation to support the course focus on understanding of trauma counseling, theories, and interventions that intersect with a number of traumatic events, how science informs the delivery of effective counseling theory and technique for these clients with the goal of integrating ethical, effective, and biblically grounded care. This assignment will also ground the learner in components of quality doctoral level writing as needed in preparation for the successful completion of the dissertation requirement. These key components are to demonstrate analysis of what you studied from multiple resources on a topic, what new insight you gained from that study, and how you can synthesize that into practice.
    **This assignment consists of three parts,** the
    **Analysis in the Study of Trauma: Part One Assignment,** the
    **Peer-Review Discussion: Analysis in the Study of Trauma,** and
    the
    **Analysis in the Study of Trauma: Part Two Assignment.**

    **Instructions**

    Learners will use:

    (1) grading feedback from the professor on the initial submission of the
    **Analysis in the Study of Trauma: Part One Assignment**

    (2) and the feedback from the
    **Peer-Review Discussion: Analysis in the Study of Trauma**

    and revise their Part One assignment
    **per both sources of feedback** to present an expanded and stronger discussion of the analysis
    **.** The evidence of integration of insight from the classmate reply will be to cite it as personal communication and citation for the journal article shared, In the reference list, the journal article should be listed as an entry, but the personal communication is not listed in the reference list.

    EXAMPLE: David King replies to your thread in the discussion forum and shares insight on challenges with sandwich generation caregivers from the article:

    Cheng, K. J. G., & Santos-Lozada, A. R. (2024). Mental and physical health among 'sandwich' generation working-age adults in the United States: Not all sandwiches are made equal.
    _SSM – Population Health_,
    _26_, 101650.
    [https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ssmph.2024.101650](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ssmph.2024.101650)

    In your text, you could say David King, fellow classmate (personal communication, February 2026) noted that members of the sandwich generation often experience a trauma of grief for many years (Cheng & Santos-Lozada, 2024).

    Learners will then submit that revision into the assignment link for
    **Analysis in the Study of Trauma: Part Two Assignment.**

    **The intent of the revision opportunity is to further synthesize additional insight on their topic of analysis, solidify understanding, and the development of quality doctoral level writing that is aligned with writing the dissertation.**

    **NOTE:** While this submission will also be checked by Turnitin for originality and AI use, it is understood that content of Part Two should have significant match with the earlier submission of Part One, and the concern would be questionable matches other than this.

    Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.

    EDCO 790

    **Traumatology Assignments Overview**

    Throughout EDCO 790, you will conduct a study across the eight weeks of the term on a specific topic and population of interest in traumatology. The purpose of this study is twofold.

    · Help prepare the learner for the dissertation requirements of deepening a single topic of interest over a period of time and presenting the findings using more than one modality.

    ·
    Deepen the learner’s foundational understanding of trauma counseling

    A series of five assignments are integrated across the course modules and weeks, using the scaffolding strategy to give the learner support as new concepts and skills as required for the dissertation. The assignments in this series include:
    **Traumatology Study Foundations Assignment, Traumatology Outline Assignment, Traumatology Annotated Outline Assignment, Peer-Review Discussion: Traumatology Presentation,** and
    **Traumatology Paper Assignment**. This series of assignments is contemplated to help prepare the learner for the dissertation requirements of deepening a single topic of interest over a period of time and presenting the findings using more than one modality.

    Beginning with the
    **Traumatology Study Foundations Assignment**, each study assignment will have five core sections: Discussion of the Topic of Study, Population of Interest, Associated Variables, Biblical Integration, and Topics for Future Research.
    **Note that all written assignments in the study should be submitted in a Word (versus PDF) document with Times New Roman 12-point font, as this is recommended by APA.**

    **Module 1: Week 1 – Traumatology Study Foundations Assignment**

    · This is the foundation of the study, much as the first stage of building a house is to set the foundation.

    · The learner will review The Liberty Way regarding ethical use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the document,
    _Thesis Statements – Defining, Developing, and Evaluating_ (Liberty University Academic Success Center.

    · The learner will identify a specific topic and a specifically focused population for that topic with their study in traumatology

    · The learner will explore the topic and population further through use of AI to more specifically narrowthiese.

    · The learner will conclude this assignment with a paper stating the topic and population for the study as well as a thesis which synthesizes the topic, population, and the main idea and primary conclusion that will capture the reader’s attention.

    **Module 3: Week 3 – Traumatology Outline Assignment**

    · The outline will include initial references that support the main points of the outline, with some initial development of topics throughout each of the 5 main sections of the outline.

    · The learner will review the webpage covering the APA Research Paper Outline format (provided on the assignment page) to present an outline for the introduction, five sections of the study, and conclusion.

    **Module 5: Week 5 – Traumatology Annotated Outline Assignment**

    · The annotated outline is a structured plan for a research paper that builds on the outline of the main sections and sub-sections with brief annotations that describe the purpose, content and references of each part.

    · The learner will review the document for
    _Guidance and Example Annotated Outline_ for understanding and an example to follow.

    · The learner will expand on the outline with annotations for at least 3 points with support from peer-reviewed scholarly articles.

    **Module 6: Week 6 – Peer-Review Discussion: Traumatology Presentation**

    · The presentation provides an opportunity for scholarly presentation on a topic of interest as a required skill for doctoral learners that is used in the dissertation proposal and dissertation final defense.

    · The learner will present their study in a narrated presentation that is developed for a professional audience of emerging experts in the field of traumatology.

    **Module 7: Week 7 – Traumatology Paper Assignment**

    · The paper is the culminating assignment for the study conducted during the EDCO 790 course.

    · The learner will integrate what has been developed through the previous study assignments and feedback from the professor on these to write the final paper.

    SECONDARY TRAUMATIC STRESS 1

    **Traumatology Outline Assignment: Secondary Traumatic Stress Among Child Advocacy Center Victim Advocates**

    This paper focuses on secondary traumatic stress in full-time victim advocates in Children's Advocacy Centers in the United States. Such advocates are exposed to the stories of abuse by children, distressed caregivers, and the intricate case information, which leads to occupational exposure to the trauma of another person (Endsjø et al., 2024; North et al., 2025). Therefore, the study will examine occupational exposure, secondary traumatic stress, and protective workplace conditions within this specific advocacy role.

    I.
    **Discussion of the Topic of Study**

    A. Secondary traumatic stress is a trauma-related response to long-term indirect exposure to the experiences of survivors (Briere & Scott, 2025; Velasco et al., 2025).

    B. Secondary traumatic stress, burnout, and compassion satisfaction in the Child Advocacy Center setting (Endsjø et al., 2024).

    C. Organizational and individual issues influencing secondary traumatic stress and burnout in child welfare settings (Clark et al., 2026; Park et al., 2024).

    II.
    **Population of Interest**

    A. Full-time female victim advocates aged 25 to 44.

    B. Employment in the Children's Advocacy Centers in the United States. Comment by Cheney, Alan B (Community Care and Counseling): I would narrow this a specific county, state, region, or sub-region , e.g., Southeastern US or South Atlantic sub‑region, etc.

    C. At least one year of victim advocacy experience.

    D. Repeated exposure to traumatic narratives, caregiver distress, records, case discussions, and repetition of abuse information.

    E. Direct service after suspected or confirmed child sexual or physical abuse.

    F. Supervisory and organizational support as influences on advocate work outcomes (North et al., 2025)

    III.
    **Variables Associated With the Topic**

    A. Exposure to cumulative trauma, workload pressure, work demands, and lack of support.

    B. Indirect exposure and workplace pressures (Winters et al., 2025).

    C. Severity of secondary traumatic stress, burnout, compassion satisfaction, turnover intention, and professional functioning (Clark et al., 2024).

    D. Supportive supervision, transformational leadership, psychological safety, workplace connectedness, self-care, and resilience practices. (Clark et al., 2024; Clark et al., 2025).

    IV.
    **Biblical Integration**

    A.
    Bearing one another’s burdens as a foundation for compassionate helping (
    _New International Version_[NIV], 2011, Gal. 6:2) Comment by Cheney, Alan B (Community Care and Counseling): Omit this

    B. Sharing sorrow with people who suffer while maintaining a caring presence (
    _NIV,_ 2011, Rom. 12:15)

    C. Spiritual meaning, growth, resilience, and healthy limits in trauma work (Waters & Conley, 2025).

    D. Faith-informed support is to be voluntary, ethically responsive, and not incompatible with professional supervision and organizational protections.

    V.
    **Topics for Future Research**

    A. Multisite studies of the United States that isolate victim advocates of larger child welfare workforces (Endsjø et al., 2024; North et al., 2025).

    B. Role-specific longitudinal research may help explain how repeated exposure changes over time.

    C. Child Advocacy Center-controlled assessments to detect long-lasting protective factors. (Clark et al., 2024; Clark et al., 2026; Park et al., 2024).

    D. Advocate secondary traumatic stress to retention, service continuity, quality of engagement, and multidisciplinary collaboration (Clark et al., 2024; North et al., 2025).

    Assignment Prompt & Instructions

    1. (A) The video on Racial/Cultural Identity Development helped me understand how important identity is when working with clients from different cultural backgrounds. One of the main ideas that stood out to me was that people develop their understanding of race and culture through their experiences, relationships, family, and the society around them. Because of this, two people who may appear to have a similar racial or cultural background can have very different experiences and perspectives. As a future marriage and family therapist, I think it is important not to make assumptions about a client based on their race, ethnicity, or culture. Instead, I would want to learn how each client personally understands their identity and how their experiences have influenced their relationships and sense of self. I also think therapists need to examine their own biases and be open to learning from their clients. Cultural identity can also change throughout a person's life as they experience different environments and relationships. Overall, the video reminded me that effective therapy requires cultural awareness, respect, and curiosity. Understanding a client's racial and cultural identity can help create a stronger therapeutic relationship and allow the therapist to better understand the client's experiences.

    (B)

    Watching _Man on Fire_ helped me think about how trauma, grief, relationships, and a person’s past experiences can influence behavior and emotional functioning. One thing that stood out to me was how important relationships can be in helping someone reconnect with feelings of trust, connection, and purpose. The movie also shows how unresolved experiences can affect the way a person responds to stressful situations and relationships with others.

    From a counseling perspective, I think it is important to look beyond a person's behavior and try to understand what experiences may be contributing to it. As a future marriage and family therapist, I would want to understand the client's history, relationships, family experiences, and sources of support rather than focusing only on the presenting problem. I would also recognize that trauma can affect the way people communicate and respond to situations.

    The movie reminded me that building trust is an important part of therapy. Clients may not immediately feel comfortable sharing difficult experiences, so therapists need to create a safe environment where clients feel respected and heard. Overall, _Man on Fire_ reinforced the importance of understanding the person as a whole and considering the impact of trauma and relationships on emotional well-being.

    (C) After watching the video, I was able to reflect on the importance of understanding people within the context of their personal experiences, culture, family, and environment. One thing that stood out to me was how different experiences can shape the way individuals understand themselves and interact with the people around them. As future therapists, it is important that we do not make assumptions about clients based on their background or circumstances.

    I think developing a strong therapeutic relationship requires listening to clients and allowing them to explain their experiences in their own words. Every client brings their own history, values, beliefs, and experiences into therapy. Taking the time to understand these factors can help therapists provide more respectful and effective care. As a future marriage and family therapist, I also think it is important to examine my own assumptions and biases. I want to approach clients with curiosity rather than judgment and recognize the strengths they bring with them. Overall, the video reminded me that therapy should focus on understanding the whole person and the different systems that influence their lives and relationships.

    (D) After watching _Rabbit-Proof Fence_, I was deeply affected by the way the film showed the impact that forced separation and cultural oppression can have on children and families. The story of the three Aboriginal girls demonstrated how being removed from their families also meant being separated from their culture, identity, community, and sense of belonging. Their journey home showed their strength, determination, and connection to their family. The film also helped me understand that trauma can be connected to larger social and historical experiences, not only individual events. As a future marriage and family therapist, I think it is important to understand a client's cultural and family history before making assumptions about their experiences. Historical trauma can influence families across generations and may affect trust, relationships, identity, and communication. This film reminded me that therapists need to listen to clients and respect their cultural identity rather than trying to impose their own beliefs or expectations. Overall, _Rabbit-Proof Fence_ reinforced the importance of cultural humility, family connections, and understanding the larger social context surrounding a client's life.

    (E) After watching the video about Sandra Laing, I was struck by how deeply discrimination can affect a person’s identity and family relationships. Sandra was born to parents who were classified as white, but because of her appearance, she was classified differently under the apartheid system. This affected her education, where she could live, and even her relationship with her own family. Her story showed me that identity is not something that can always be defined by appearance or by labels created by society.

    As a future marriage and family therapist, this video reminded me of the importance of understanding a client’s cultural and historical background. A client may carry experiences of discrimination, rejection, or family conflict that influence how they see themselves and others. I would want to listen to the client’s experiences without making assumptions about their identity. I also think it is important to recognize the strength and resilience that people can develop after experiencing difficult circumstances. Overall, Sandra’s story reinforced for me the importance of cultural humility, empathy, and understanding the larger social systems that can affect individuals and families.

    (F) After watching _Empire of Dreams_, I was able to reflect on the experiences of immigrants and the challenges that can come with adjusting to a new country. The documentary shows how Spanish-speaking immigrants have worked to build new lives while maintaining important parts of their culture, language, family traditions, and identity. What stood out to me was the importance of family and community in helping people adjust to unfamiliar environments and overcome difficult experiences.

    The documentary also reminded me that immigration is not just about moving from one place to another. It can involve changes in identity, relationships, culture, and a person's sense of belonging. Immigrants may experience language barriers, discrimination, financial difficulties, and separation from family members while also trying to create opportunities for themselves.

    As a future marriage and family therapist, I think it is important to understand these experiences when working with immigrant families. I would want to learn about each family's cultural background, migration experiences, values, and support systems instead of making assumptions. Overall, the documentary reinforced the importance of cultural humility, empathy, and recognizing the strengths and resilience that immigrant families bring with them.

    (G) After watching _The Wealth Gap Explored_, I was able to better understand how differences in wealth and access to resources can affect individuals and families. The video made me think about how financial circumstances can influence many areas of a person's life, including education, housing, employment, healthcare, and opportunities for the future. Wealth is not only about how much money someone earns but can also involve savings, property, family resources, and the opportunities available to them. One thing that stood out to me was how financial stress can affect family relationships. When families are struggling to meet basic needs, they may experience increased stress, conflict, and uncertainty about the future. These pressures can also affect parenting and communication between family members.

    As a future marriage and family therapist, I think it is important to consider a client's financial and social circumstances rather than focusing only on individual behavior. I would want to understand the challenges a family is facing while also recognizing their strengths and available support systems. Overall, the video reminded me that family therapy should consider the larger social and economic factors that can influence relationships and well-being.

    (H) The video, _“The Great Famine” Part Two: Poverty and Land Ownership in Ireland_, helped me understand how poverty can be connected to larger social and economic systems. One of the main points that stood out to me was how land ownership and unequal access to resources contributed to the difficult conditions experienced by many Irish families during the Great Famine. Poverty was not simply an individual problem; it was connected to the way resources, land, and power were distributed.

    The video also made me think about how poverty can affect families across generations. When families have limited access to food, housing, land, employment, or other resources, their ability to create stability can be greatly affected. These circumstances can influence family relationships, stress levels, and opportunities for future generations. As a future marriage and family therapist, I think it is important to understand the larger social and historical circumstances that may contribute to a family's struggles. Instead of blaming individuals for their situation, therapists should consider the environment and systems surrounding them. Overall, the video reminded me that understanding poverty requires looking beyond individual choices and considering history, social class, access to resources, and family resilience.

    (I) After watching _The Great Famine_, I was struck by how devastating poverty and food insecurity were for Irish families during the famine. The video showed that the potato blight was a major cause of the food crisis, but the effects were made worse by the social and economic conditions that existed at the time. Millions of people were affected, with many experiencing hunger, illness, death, and displacement. Many families were also forced to leave Ireland in search of better opportunities.

    What stood out to me most was how poverty can become much more serious when people have limited access to resources and support. This connects to what we have been learning about social class and poverty in family therapy. As a future marriage and family therapist, I think it is important to understand that a family's struggles may be connected to larger social and economic circumstances rather than simply individual choices. Financial insecurity and lack of basic resources can create stress and affect family relationships. This video reminded me to approach clients with empathy and to consider their environment, history, resources, and strengths when trying to understand their experiences.

    (J) The documentary _Immigration Through Ellis Island_ gave me a better understanding of what many immigrants experienced when coming to the United States. What stood out to me was the uncertainty and difficulty many families faced when leaving their home countries and traveling to a new country. For many immigrants, coming through Ellis Island represented the hope of finding safety, employment, and a better future, but the process could also involve fear, separation, financial hardship, and adapting to a completely different environment.

    I also thought about how immigration can affect family identity and relationships. Families may have to adjust to a new language, culture, and social environment while trying to maintain traditions and values from their country of origin. These experiences can sometimes create differences between generations, especially when children adapt to the new culture more quickly than their parents.

    As a future marriage and family therapist, I think it is important to understand a family's immigration history when working with clients. I would want to learn about their experiences, cultural values, family traditions, and challenges without making assumptions. Overall, the documentary reminded me that immigration is not just a change in location; it can have a lasting impact on family identity, relationships, and a person's sense of belonging.

    (K) After watching _How Poor People Survive in the U.S.A._, I was reminded that poverty is much more complicated than simply not having enough money. The video shows how difficult it can be for people to meet basic needs such as housing, food, transportation, and other daily expenses, even when they are trying to work and support themselves. What stood out to me was how one financial problem can lead to another and make it difficult for a person or family to become stable.

    This video also connected with what we have been learning about social class and family therapy. Financial stress can affect a family's emotional well-being, communication, relationships, and ability to plan for the future. As a future marriage and family therapist, I think it is important to understand the circumstances surrounding a client's struggles instead of judging them based only on their situation. I would want to learn about their strengths, support systems, and available resources while also recognizing the barriers they may be facing. Overall, the video helped me see the importance of empathy and understanding when working with families experiencing poverty. It reminded me that people struggling financially still have goals, responsibilities, and hopes for a better future.

    (L) After watching the video, I was able to better understand that poverty is influenced by more than individual choices. There are social and structural factors that can make it much harder for individuals and families to achieve financial stability. Factors such as limited access to quality education, employment opportunities, housing, healthcare, and other resources can create barriers that continue over time. These challenges can also affect families across generations.

    What stood out to me was the idea that people experiencing poverty should not automatically be blamed for their circumstances. A person's environment and access to opportunities can have a significant impact on the choices available to them. Financial stress can also affect family relationships, parenting, communication, and emotional well-being.

    As a future marriage and family therapist, I think it is important to understand the larger circumstances surrounding a client's life. I would want to ask questions about housing, employment, family support, education, and access to resources rather than focusing only on the individual's behavior. This video reminded me that effective therapy requires looking at the whole person and the systems that influence their experiences. It also reinforced the importance of empathy, cultural awareness, and recognizing the strengths and resilience of families experiencing poverty.

    (M) After watching _Four Communities Tackle the Child Equity Gap_, I was reminded that children do not all grow up with the same opportunities or access to resources. The video showed how differences in education, housing, healthcare, family income, and community resources can affect a child's development and future opportunities. What stood out to me was that addressing these differences requires more than focusing on the individual child. Families, schools, communities, and other support systems all play an important role.

    I also thought about how early experiences can influence a child's emotional and social development. When families are dealing with financial stress, unstable housing, or limited resources, children may experience additional challenges that can affect their relationships and education. At the same time, children and families can demonstrate a great deal of resilience when they have appropriate support.

    As a future marriage and family therapist, I think it is important to understand the environment surrounding a child rather than focusing only on their behavior. I would want to consider family strengths, community resources, and barriers that may be affecting the family. Overall, the video reinforced for me the importance of looking at the larger systems that influence children's lives and working with families in a respectful and supportive way.
