1 Rachael Williams Student # AC2208584 SO1V Introduction to Psychology Assignment 4 May 17, 2023 Part 1 What Do We Mean by “Ethnicity” and “Race”? A Consensual Qualitative Research Investigation of Colloquial Understandings The research found that participants in the United States have multiple meanings for ethnicity and race, which challenge the validity and impact of research utilizing these concepts. The researcher found that participants tended to bring different understandings of ethnicity and race to questions about these variables, which created challenges for researchers attempting to explore how ethnicity shapes individual lives. The study found that the most frequent everyday meanings of ethnicity included origin, culture, ancestry, related or like race, social similarity, religion, and identity. The most frequent everyday meanings of race include physical characteristics such as skin color and hair type. Participants approached defining ethnicity and race in different ways which created confusion for researchers. This incongruence threatens valid operationalizations for research on ethnicity. Most therapists receive some training in treating people from diverse backgrounds, but many experts say this type of approach is not enough, often resulting in negative psychological

2 effects for people of color who may be experiencing specific issues due to racism. Since white therapists vastly outnumber those of other races in the field, most non-white clients will end up being treated by someone who is not from their race. That doesn't mean therapy still can’t be successful, if professionals actively engage in learning about the issues that affect individuals from other backgrounds and if they are open to discussing race in therapy sessions. Can mindsets influence college students’ motivation to learn? Findings from the United States and the United Arab Emirates This study explored the extent to which different mindsets, deliberative and implemental, have different effects on college students’ motivation to learn in the context of higher education. It found that the concepts of the deliberative mindset have a positive effect on college students’ motivation to learn, while the concepts of the implemental mindset have a negative effect. The study was conducted in the US and UAE, two different countries with different cultural backgrounds. Questionnaires assessed students' motivation to learn, defined as attitudes, values, and goals on academic tasks, and self-regulatory strategies to complete them. Results suggested that differences in the consequences of being in a deliberative mindset for college students' motivation to learn were only found for students in the US sample, whereas no such effect was found for students from the UAE. Being in an implemental mindset did not benefit students' motivation to learn. Cultural factors that may explain the results are discussed. The findings reinforce the need to examine motivation and possible interventions aimed at strengthening motivation in these groups of students.

3 In this article, I strongly believe that everyone must be looked at individually. There are several things that you must take into consideration when asking this question. Does this person have social anxiety? Depression? ADHD? Some students have things going on in their personal life that makes them have the drive to not fail. It just varies from student to student. The Influence of Connectedness to Nature on Psychological Well-Being: Evidence from the Randomized Controlled Trial Play&Grow The objective of this randomized controlled trial was to determine which particular changes in connectedness to nature (CN) would improve psychological well-being (PW) in young children. This study specifically looks at how nature relatedness impacts psychological wellbeing after a randomized control trial that increased connectedness to nature. It has been reported that experiencing nature-based activities improved not only CN but also happiness, mediated by better emotional regulation. Results indicated that increased CN among children led to improvements in PW scores, particularly for anxiety and depression symptoms. Furthermore, spending time in nature can increase children’s enjoyment of nature and environmental sensitivity. Our results indicate promising direction of action for the improvement of families’ psychological health . I believe there is a huge difference when a child is on a daily basis, is having some kind activity outside versus to a child that has no contact with the outside world. When they get to a certain age, and they haven’t been able or been allowed to develop the social skills that most are
