Is 533 Homework 4

1. Think of a time in your life when someone you know was having difficulty. Using that example, choose the statement from the list below that seems most true. Then, for the statement you choose, write which perspective or branch from psychology (humanistic, positive, biopsychology, cognitive-behavioral, developmental, or social psychology) is most related. Then write a one-sentence statement that describes this perspective. (5 points)

The first issue is “Person – Situation.” This issue deals with wither behavior is caused by internal traits such as thoughts, emotions, motives, attitudes, and personality or external situations such as behavior of

Feedback is provided in relation to the assessment criteria (box on left) that were given to you with the assessment specification.

Read the the following case studies and determine if they are a form of stress, distress, or disorder. In the spaces provided below, indicate which type of disorder is portrayed in each scenario. Justify each response in 100- 200 words.

5. What is (are) the potential disease or disorder? Include (a) a justification for your decision, (b) the causal agent, and (c) the mode of transmission.

Read each case below and determine what psychological disorder each patient might have. In your own words, state your reasons why. Type your answer directly below each case.

12. Describe and give an example exemplifying the tension between explanations of mental illness based on the medical model and those based on the psychological model.

A diagnosis is the act of discovering or identifying the exact cause of an illness or a problem. A psychological problem is a mental behavior pattern that causes distress and disability. Symptoms are a change in your body or mind that shows that you are not healthy.

B2. Explain how the symptoms are induced: what’s the problem? How long does it take?

-Who is the decision maker? (Remember: in analyzing a case you have to put yourself in the position of the decision maker and try to figure out what YOU would do in his/her position).

A finite market ${\cal M}=\left\{(X_j,q_j^A,q_j^B); 0\le j \le m\right\}$ is a collection of $m+1$ securities

Presenting problems: These are the “symptoms” or the experiences (added or removed) from the person’s everyday

The following explanation is structured based on the decision making model: Define the problem (A), Analyze Alternatives (B), Make a Choice (C), Take Action (D), Evaluate Result (E). For each of the steps in the decision-making process, I will list each situation in order (1-4) stated in Case 9, W-115.

To begin some definitions need to be established for the paper, so the reader can logically follow.

There are different approaches when talking about decision making. The first model is rational. Rational decision making is based on practical thinking, logic, and/or evidence. This type of decision making is sensible and is often part of a plan. This decision will directly affect what comes next in the sequence of events. There are four stages in this process. Stage one is actually stating the problem or opportunity. In order to make a decision, you first have to understand the issue at hand. The last part in this stage is reaching a diagnosis after “analyzing the underlying causes” (p. 215). Stage two is about making a list of possible solutions to your problem or opportunity. It’s important to think up multiple solutions in order to calculate which will be the most effective. Stage three is about looking closer at the solution you have come up with. Each solution is carefully evaluated in order to gain an understanding of the plan and gauge its possible effectiveness. There are three questions you have to ask during this stage: “Is it ethical?” “Is it feasible?” and “Is it ultimately effective?” (p. 215). Stage four is about action. This is when the chosen solution will be implemented and evaluated for success or failure. Because the plan is being carried out, it is important that you are confident in the chosen solution and it was carefully decided on. If the decision will not benefit all parties involved, it
