Psy 270 Week 2 Case Study Sgt

Some documents that can be obtained include letters, articles, newspapers and clerical records. Archival documents that are acquired include census records, survey records and name lists. Several physical artifacts can be collected for example, tools and objects. Lastly participant observation involves the researcher actually participating and observing in the study (Yin, 1994; Stake, 1995).

When I first transferred to midnights, and before I rode with him, I remember his voice was always on the radio. It sounded as if he was constantly busy and always into something. The first day I rode with Gary, he told me he was going to drive. As soon as we were in the car he began to show me how he worked. I quickly realized that he was not just taking up radio space, but that he was making a difference. Some officers took advantage of the new recruits and passed off all their paperwork while they socialized. It was expected by some FTO’s that the paperwork be completed correctly by the time they returned. Gary modeled the actions of an excellent officer and showed his competence and his drive to work by guiding his rookies through the

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.

A team meeting was held at Lutz today with Scott, his parents, this counselor, his teacher Mrs. Shannon, Vice Principle Nick DeVault, acting Principle John Nader, and Transition Coordinator Joe Delegato. The meeting was set to discuss Scott's participation in the STEP program and what his family is looking for when it comes to his MRS case and employment. Scott's teacher feels that STEP isn't necessarily the right placement for him and wanted to discuss this with the team. Scott's parents stated, " we have always felt like Scott has never been in the right placement. He is either to low functioning or two high functioning for the program he is in. We agree that his options need to be explored." His teacher Mrs. Shannon then went on to explain that although Scott does quality work on his sites, is always friendly, and hard working, there are a lot of concerns that are holding him back in the program. Shannon stated, " Scott has trouble staying focused, requires a lot of reminders, wonders a lot, takes a long time to complete a task (2 times the amount needed), is unable to work fast paced or multi-task, can't typically be left alone, and communicates inappropriately at times. Shannon stated that his need for constant supervisor and inappropriate communication is her biggest concern. Shannon stated that Scott often sings My

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.

In respect to these characteristics of a psychological sense of community, students could coordinate between first year and second year students to establish a mentoring relationships for those that would like to obtain their LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor. The students who are new to the program would be able to contact the volunteer second year students who are working towards their LPC, in an effort to gain information and receive advice about classes that they should take that would qualify for the requirements of the LPC. Perhaps, at the beginning of each semester those who are second year students could hold a question and answer session for incoming students interested in taking the LPC track. This first meeting would allow students to develop a relationship and emotional connection with those who are second years. Questions that the students may have would be answered and the intervention would serve as informal advising.

Thank you for sending James back to see me some 3.5 year since his last appointment. During that time, James has continued to experience unrefreshing sleep with some daytime somnolence. He is typically sleeping seven hours per night with no significant sleep onset or maintenance insomnia. Snoring has perhaps become more prominent of late. Of note, when James was working in Tasmania and exercising regularly, his symptoms were less noticeable with his weight dropping down to around 80kg. With his weight increasing to 90kg, the symptoms have increased.

This study includes the results from the three participants, Mathew, Mark and Luke. The figures will be represented by the X- axis, which will show the sessions, and the Y-axis, which will display the number of times the participant engaged in the vocal stereotypy during the sessions. All data from the IOA agreement was calculated for 25% of each participant and will be included within the recoding. The ESE teacher was the second observer and was trained in all aspects of the study to assist with procedural fidelity. Social validity was taken into consideration by the results rendered from the parent’s observation and recordings.

After learning more about the Pygmalion effect, it typically discusses how individuals often children or students may turn to live up to what’s expected of them, in which they perform better when someone sets high expectations for them. The Pygmalion effect was also called the Rosenthal effect based on the classic experiment by Rosenthal and Jacobson. During their experiment during the beginning of the school year, Rosenthal and Jacobson told the teachers that this test was to predict which students would bloom intellectually during the academic year. Both Rosenthal and Jacobson deceived the other teachers by telling them that the most intellect students have been tested by a new methodology which determines

The proposed experiment would be a 2x2x5 factorial design with pre-testing that would be conducted to investigate each participant’s previous medical history and how it may affect their results. The experiment would use 120 adult participants who have been diagnosed with ADHD. For the purposes of the proposed experiment, an adult is an individual who is at least age 18 or older. There would be eleven groups with ten patients in each group, treated over a ten week period: a modafinil group with medication, modafinil group without medication, dexmethylphenidate group with CBT, dexmethylphenidate without CBT, methylphenidate group with CBT, methylphenidate group without CBT, an atomoxetine group with CBT, a CBT group, and a placebo-control group. The experiment will measure the reduction of ADHD symptoms in adults 18 years or older.

First, I would like to apologize for the noise level that came from our room and not respecting the housing policies that are set up for the students to follow. The way we behaved that day was incorrect because we were loud and affected the flow of Floor 12.

During my career with the Ohio State Highway Patrol, I had the honor of being assigned twice to the Executive Protection Unit (EPU), Governor’s Residence Detail for the Ohio State Highway Patrol. During my second assignment at the Governor’s Residence there was an election and a change in Governor’s. Governor Ted Strickland took officer and with the change came a new supervisor. Lieutenant Joe Mannion had been assigned to protect Governor Strickland throughout the campaign and after Strickland won the election made the move to Columbus. I had known Mannion for many years prior to working for him and had always liked him, but after he was promoted to Lieutenant he changed.

I am writing this letter to compliment the IAFF for a job well done. A few months back we had two instructors from the IAFF come to our firehouse, and over the course of three days they taught our 80 member hazmat team on the subject of illicit labs. The information given was accurate and very applicable to our profession.

I need the service of men like Officer McFarlane. He has nothing to worry about; his skill set will serve him well as we advance as a society of individuals who embrace and are embraced by communities formed around the concept of free association. In the right community, he will become a valuable asset. He just needs to get over his fear, and learn to trust in himself. Frankly, the only people on this veranda who have anything to worry about are you two gentlemen. Take my advice; if I were you, I’d start developing some new skills. Learn to use your hands for something. I don’t see much use for pencil-pushing lawyers in the new world
