EPM can be inherited because just like any other traits that will enhance our survival. The six properties that were discussed in lecture were great criteria to determine whether an observed behavior was an EPM in a species. An EPM solved a specific problem of survival or reproduction recurrently over the evolutionary history. Only narrow of information is processed according to EPM. The adaptive problem that an organism is facing is also informed by the EPM. Also EPM transformed through, leaving some room for decision making for an individual as the output. The output is also physiological activity when you make the decision to go with it or take a step back. Finally, the output is to solve a specific problem. In the lecture notes, L. Meek (personal communication, Jan 27, 2016) provided David Buss’s summary of the definition of EPM, “an EPM is a set of procedures within an organism designed to take in a particular slice of information and transform that information via decision rules into output that historically has helped with the solution to an adaptive problem. The psychological mechanism exists in current organisms because it led, on average, to the successful solution of a specific adaptive problem for that organism’s ancestors (2016).”
EPM existed to solve a specific problem of survival and reproduction, for example, when human males are aggressive because in the hunter-gatherers societies being able to defend your territories and protect your people is a need to
The authors of this article method of data collection was based on a five-focus group and three individual interviews on the clients that participated in the MBSR training. They analyzed and constantly compared methods to develop a grounded theory (Schellenkens & Jansen, 2015, pg. 1813). They determined that their focus group involved participants that were open for
Hi everyone and welcome to Com 200 Interpersonal Communication! I am Lisa and I currently reside in Elkton, VA for the last 25 years. I am from Adams, Ma, and I enrolled in Ashford University to obtain my BA in Business Administration in view to open a business of my own when I graduate. At the current time of enrollment it was in hospitality although, since then several different agents have approached me in the Insurance business. The owners asking me to take over their books and run the business when their agents retire around my area. It will require a few licenses; otherwise, I have looked into this position and have thought about this avenue as opportunity to take my degree in this direction as well. My motivation for returning
If the assessment task involves group work, marks will be allocated only to students in the group who have completed and submitted a copy of this form.
For my paper I will be discussing in depth the responses to the questions posed at the end of the study as follows. What kinds of problems are inherent in Jolene’s research project? How would these problems affect the research results? How would you solve these problems? What should Stefanie do? What would the consequences of these actions be for Jolene? For Dr. Lee? For Stefanie
A study done by Jackie Mocygemba and Susan Fenton (2012) the clinical documentation in inpatient care to see if it uses enough detail for ICD-10. Since ICD-10 is a coding system that uses much more detail than others, it is expected to improve the ability to analyze clinical and cost data (Mocygemba et al., 2012). With the increased specificity of the coding system, the purpose of the study was to see if the clinical documentation is detailed enough. The pilot study was cross-sectional and it used a variety of about 500 records that were coded using ICD-10. Once the coding was finished by two coders recruited by proficiency assessments, the accuracy of the coding was assessed on a randomly selected sample of 10 percent of the cases. The
However, the mind compromises of “hundreds or thousands” of “genetically specified” modules that ancestors encountered diversity array of adaptive problems, each adaptive problem “domain” needs its own “domain specific” solution. No single “domain-general” psychological mechanism could successfully solve various adaptive problems. Thus, a psychological mechanism evolved for each distinct adaptive problem ancestors faced. Cosmides and Tooby supports this argument ‘‘a woman who
Roland Barthes once said “Literature is the question minus the answer.” This means that there is no real answer to literature, there are just the questions. This is designed so you can incorporate and have different ideas about literature instead of there being a definite answer to what everything means. Shakespeare for example uses a certain language and his writings require you to think about what's happening and why he worded it the way he did. Other books such as the Invisible Man has a different meaning to the quote. At first I thought that this quote was referring to racism, but it was so much more than that. This quote is saying that there is no answer to life. There are just a bunch of questions followed by decisions but there is no
Participants and Setting: Who were the participants? What was the setting? Why were they chosen?
Research is playing with puzzles, making sense of the nonsensical piece by piece. What’s a greater puzzle than the brain? In middle school, to procrastinate, I watched videos on why we dream, why we feel, why we forget. The more I saw, the more I wanted to know. So, in high school, I enrolled in AP psychology. When I read the syllabus, my stomach cartwheeled at knowing I would have to dissect a sheep brain. As I reluctantly walked into the lab, the fresh formaldehyde smell battered my nostrils. Little tool kits of torture were lined up on every table. While the rest of my group used them to emphatically scissor away, I simply observed, hands paralyzed to my side. Then, the teacher commanded each of us look at the hippocampus. When I picked up the grooved grey blob, I realized my slightly shaking forceps held most of that sheep’s knowledge, memories, and
Leadership in an organization often plays a critical role, and is frequently, though not always, one of the major drivers of the success or failure of a company. (Bass, 1990) Effective leadership helps a company through times of peril and brings a future of brightness. It makes a corporation successful. However, what is leadership? According to Kouzes and Posner, it is the art of mobilizing others to want to struggle for shared aspirations. (1995, p.30) Leaders set a clear direction for us; they help us realize what is ahead; they support us to achieve and win; they encourage and inspire us when we feel depressed. Without leadership, an organization will degenerate into chaos and unstructured because people view things in different ways.

Communicating with your patient is vital to enhance patient’s comfort, trust, safety, and overall well-being. Some therapeutic communications are active listening, ask questions, give recognition, give information, offer self, use silence, give feedback, be empathetic, limit setting, etc. Whereas some of the non-therapeutic communications are: changing the subject, overloading with information, giving advice, false reassurance, being sympathetic, etc. Also, body language, eye contact, gestures, and tone of voice are nonverbal communication that we need to be aware of when communicating with the
Yes. In the article, the aim of the research was to understand the experience of participants, their knowledge about type 2 diabetes, and the factors of medication adherence in Malaysia. According to Susan (2010), the five components of PICOT are population, issue, context, outcome, and time. According to Al-Qazaz et al (2011), the PICOT was presented by the researcher in the study were,
Qualitative and quantitative research assume an instrumental part in item advancement. Information acquired from the quantitative research incorporate client inclinations, socioeconomics, and advertise measure offers imperative data which is utilized for business basic leadership. Qualitative research gives information which is utilized to the plan of an item, and client prerequisites. Both of the methodologies have qualities and shortcomings which ought to be tended to when doing an exploration procedure. There are advantages which are collected from consolidating the two techniques. Quantitative investigation is communicated in numbers. Information in quantitative research is in numeric frame, so measurable tests are pertinent. The depiction of measurements which can be utilized incorporates standard deviation, mean, and middle. Measurable investigation empowers the specialists to infer huge certainties. In this view, the paper will talk about Qualitative and quantitative research concentrating on their focal points and inconveniences.
