PSY 270 Week 1 Assignment

Evaluation as an end in itself is a very different process from counseling. Why would a counselor want to be an evaluator?

Thank you for sharing this story with us. Your client has a very sad story. Through your kind words, I can see that she is a strong individual who does not want to show any signs of weakness. However, she is putting on a brave face even though she is going through the darkest part of her life right now. Although it may seem like she will eventually get past this, recovery for athletes with eating disorder are highly unlikely. She will fall into a cycle of doing poorly in competitions which will cause more pressure, this pressure will lead to being more reliant on control of her intake of food. She needs everyone important in her life to gather for an intervention for her. However, by the looks of this case it seems she has very few people in

When my family and I decided to move to the United States, I began a process of adaptation to a new culture and language. However, this process of adaptation helped me develop a sensitivity to cultural differences and the values of individuals from different cultures. I arrived to this country in July 12, 2012, and I was excited to continue studying Psychology. However, I needed to be fluent in English and wait a year to become a Florida resident before I could begin studying. I considered this period of my life to be frustrating, as I wanted to learn about Psychology. I thought this represented an obstacle or a waste of time that was preventing me from continuing studying, however, I had to see it as an opportunity to really learn the language, and learn to be persistent if I wanted to achieve my goal of becoming a counselor.

I found the central tendencies, the 5-point summary and the standard deviation of both of my variables; including for the variable that has data for 2 years. Interestingly, the variables had some common results. However, there were more differences then similarities, as each calculation had a variety of results. For example, variable X I calculated both years (1990 and 2012) and I knew already that each country had major differences between the two, but I think that affected the results in each step (the central tendencies, the 5-point summary and the standard deviation). It is noticeable to see how the mean and median in 1990 is lower than the mean in 2012, and this carried out through the rest of the next calculations. Comparing these findings to variable Y, I see that there is a tremendous

To identify, a project idea based on my work and personal life will involve motivating my sister in having a healthier diet. By way of example, I will encourage her in eating more fruits and vegetables to strengthen her immune system and lower her blood pressure. Additionally, motivating her to a healthier eating habit will not only help her wellbeing but strength my abilities as a care provider. Considering that, her diet now consists of high sodium foods such as ramen noodles and fast food, she has been more restless and stressed. Henceforth, this project will build her health and offer her the opportunity to feel more energized, lower blood pressure, and even having more strength to practice walking with her leg braces versus her wheelchair.

After reading through the chapter on the DMIS stages (denial, defense, minimization, acceptance, adaptation, and integration), I would say that personally, I fall under the “acceptance” stage. “This stage represents an individual’s ability to recognize and appreciate cultural difference in terms of both people’s values and their behavior” (Cushner, McClelland, Safford, Pg. 152). As it states, the individual experiencing acceptance is “beginning to demonstrate the ability to interpret phenomena within a cultural context”, I believe that this is a fitting sentence for myself. Being that I am from a rural prairie town in the middle of nowhere in Oklahoma, and the only people where I lived were other Senecas like my family and friends, I did not experience a cultural shock until I was in the sixth grade and had moved to Florida. In this town in Oklahoma, it was rare to even see someone described as “white”, as racial prejudice is still rampant throughout Oklahoma against Natives and basically, everybody who isn’t. I was taught to be accepting and welcoming throughout my life, and I believe that made the transition into a new cultural system much easier.

Through my high school years, there are rarely any times where major mistake has been done to a point where a formal apology was needed. I am in a group of friendly people where suggestions are taken to heart and mistakes are small and easily brushed off with a typical apology. The most major time would be at music fest 2016, a music competition out school's jazz band was attending. During our performance, my music fell off the stand; though it did not matter much as I memorized my pieces. However, I still feel that it made an impact in our grading and may have dropped our level. I spoke out about this in our next rehersal and apologized to the group, but it was accepted and forgiven like a casual mistake. I decided to apologize to the group

Mike snatched my shrimp chips off of my hands and he banged it against the table, trying to get every piece of chips smashed, I started crying very loud which only made it worse. Ms. Rancho blankly, stared at my table and her head quickly turned back to her laptop, hoping that I would not bother to come and tell her to make the boys stop. I drastically, marched to her desk, telling her to make a stop or change my seat. Ms.Rancho purposely ignored my words, instead she told me to help Sabrina wipe down the tables. My face started to swell with tears having no courage to talk back at her. So I followed her

They then made a huge announcement to the entire party saying I was scared to drink and everyone was laughing hysterically. My friends, now embarrassed were telling me to just drink it, just drink it, it’ll be fun. I finally gave in to end the embarrassment I was causing my friends and drunk the drink they made for me. It was disgusting I could hardly even swallow it. Coughing and gagging I look around and everyone is just standing there and suddenly the loud screeching of laughter and snorting and the slight smirks across their faces made me so angry I just stormed off into the house.

In my apartment my three roommates and I had a kind of seating arrangement that we followed, so in a way, it has become a sort of social norm for us. It’s a lot like after the first couple weeks of a new semester you kind of have that one seat you sit in all the time in class and you kind of get upset when someone else sits in it. So, one of my roommates lays on the couch usually and the other usually lays on the opposite couch, as for me I usually get stuck with the crappy recliner. So, the other day I tried to create a little tension in the apartment. One of my roommates gets back from class later than my other roommate and myself, so I decided to take the spot of the one roommate that was already back to the apartment. He came to the living

Mrs. Hurst, we both apologize sincerely. What we did was childish, uncalled for, and rude. Why we did it is because we are both we not thinking clearly, if we had just read the label this all could have been prevented. Not only what we did ruined public property, but caused more work for other people, making them clean up after two very capable young men.

In the end I was the loser, by me not speaking out reasonably and being more assertive in being able to share my feelings affected our group dynamics. I will not know had the issue been addressed sooner, and with more tact and reasoning could have developed better relationship with my roommates and allow me to feel better about

Last Friday my friend and I decided to go the basketball game against the Greensboro Raiders. The game was one of the important rival game in that area. There wasn’t any seats to sit so we had to stand up the entire game. However, my friend decided that since we didn’t have anything to do in it was a lot of people at the game that she would throw a party. Natalie mother was out of town for her job. She left the game early to go get things for the party from Walmart. Although I knew it wasn’t a good idea I still went ahead with the planned. I sent out messages to everyone and my contacts and also put it on snapchat. As the game was coming to an end everybody was walking around talking about the party. I left the gym and went to Natalie house

As you recalled, we spent many hours perfecting this agreement to ensure that it would work for both of us. Therefore, I was disappointed that this was one of the main issues that affecting our roommate relationship. We agreed that we would not invite a group of friends into our room past 10PM on the school day to play games, watch Netflix, YouTube, or engage in any activities that affecting our friendship. We had many conversations about this issue. Nevertheless, you still are consistently violating our agreements by inviting more than six people into our small room nearly every day watching Netflix, YouTube, and playing games even past midnight. I felt uncomfortable staying in my own room because your friends are always right there and occasionally, I couldn’t move around without stepping over your friends. I am concerned about our living arrangement because it started to affect my moral and studies here at

Around 11:00 p.m., on the night of May 11, 2016 some friends invited me to their dorm room to hang out. When I arrived, they were drinking, so I decided to have a drink also. After hanging out for a while, I returned to my dorm room, but decided to leave again once I learned through social media that another friend was hanging out in a nearby room. I decided to go by just to speak since this was the last night of the semester, and
