Piaget described and celebrated the development of symbolic

Piaget described and celebrated the development of symbolic thought in preschool children as evidenced by the imaginary worlds and friends they devise. However, he also noted that with this stage come some obstacles to logical thinking. Describe three different ways that logic is hindered in preschoolers and give original examples of each.

Paraphrasing and Citing Sources using APA style

Paraphrasing and Citing Sources using APA style (7th edition)

Instructions: The American Psychological Association (APA) uses a particular style to cite sources. This is different from the style of the Modern Language Association (MLA). Many social science courses will use APA style for writing papers and citing sources. Complete the following activities to practice your paraphrasing and citation skills. Compare your answers with those of your classmates.

Activity 1: Paraphrasing One Sentence

  1. Read the following published sentence and then paraphrase it—that is, rewrite it in your own words. You do not need to repeat every element. Instead, try changing the focus of the sentence while preserving the meaning of the original.
  2. Write an APA Style reference list entry for the published work using the source information provided. Look up the document type here (Links to an external site.)
  3.  or in Chapter 10 of the Publication Manual and follow the appropriate reference example.
  4. Figure out the in-text citation that corresponds to the reference list entry. Then add a parenthetical citation to your paraphrased sentence. Use the standard citation formats shown in Table 8.1 of the Publication Manual. Go here to learn more about parenthetical and narrative in-text citations (Links to an external site.)
  5. .

Published Sentence:

Leaders who lack emotional and social competence undoubtedly can become a liability to organizations, directly leading to employee disengagement, absenteeism, stress-disability claims, hostile-workplace lawsuits, and increased health care expenses.

Source Information:

  • Document type: Journal article
  • Authors: Kenneth Nowack and Paul Zak
  • Publication year: 2020
  • Article title: Empathy enhancing antidotes for interpersonally toxic leaders
  • Journal information: Consulting Psychology Journal: Practice and Research, Volume 72, Issue 2, pages 119-133
  • DOI: https://doi.org/10.1037/cpb0000164

Activity 2: Summarizing Multiple Sentences

  1. Read the following published sentences and summarize the authors’ findings in your own words in one sentence.
  2. Write an APA Style reference list entry for the published work using the source information provided. Look up the document type here (Links to an external site.)
  3.  or in Chapter 10 of the Publication Manual and follow the appropriate reference example.
  4. Figure out the in-text citation that corresponds to your reference list entry. Then add a narrative citation to your paraphrased sentence. Go here to learn more about parenthetical and narrative in-text citations (Links to an external site.)
  5. . You do not need to re-cite the works that are already cited in the published sentences.

Published Sentences:

Research suggests that people exercise less when demands in their job or studies increase (Englert & Rummel, 2016; Oaten & Cheng, 2005; Sonnentag & Jelden, 2009). Building upon these findings, the present study investigated the relationship between university students’ implicit theories about willpower and the amount they exercise during their final examination period. We hypothesized and found that students with a limited theory about willpower— those who believed that their self-control resembles a limited resource—exercised significantly less than students with a nonlimited theory during this stressful period (about 220 min less over the course of 2 weeks).

By Sunday at 11:59pm:

Compare your answers to those posted by the instructor and by your classmates. In a reply to your original post answer the following questions:

  1. Did you paraphrase effectively? Or did you patch write (change only a few words, substitute synonyms on a one-to-one basis) rather than paraphrase (restate in your own words, reframe ideas for your paper context)?
  2. How are your sentences different from the sentences from your instructor? From those of your classmates or colleagues? How are they the same?
  3. What other ways are there to paraphrase? How could you emphasize different ideas?
  4. Look over your reference and parenthetical citation. Make note of any errors.

The several effects of cocaine to crack kids

Of the several effects of cocaine to crack kids, discuss at least 2 effects, be it physical, cognitive, emotional, or social, that you think are worse than all the rest and explain why.

I have chosen Physical and Cognitive, but am struggling with why they are worst than the rest, the book we use is on the launch pad, but I have read over and over, and can not find the right words

Brief description of the process by which teratogens affect an unborn baby

What are teratogens? Give a brief description of the process by which teratogens affect an unborn baby. Explain specific theories on phases of development that could be applicable in this discussion.

This is what I have so far, but can not pinpoint theories on phases of development.

1.)  Teratogens are considered to be harmful external agents. Male fetuses tend to be more sensitive to them than female fetuses. Teratogens include opioids and alcohol that affect the baby’s chance to survive after birth. One cause of this can be sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). A baby who is born after having been hosted by a mother who has used alcohol or opioids will have a higher rate and a wider range to have developmental disabilities which include attentional disorders (ADHD) and an autism spectrum disorder. A mother who uses alcohol and/or opioids can cause their child to be born addicted to the opioid or cause them life-long harm by causing them to be disabled or be on the autistic spectrum. They may also face the cause of sudden infant death syndrome. While the fetus is unborn, the effects of the opioids the mother uses also effects the brain development and possible growth of the fetus. This will cause more issues when it comes to being brought into the world, with the previous information provided.

Inborn traits and characteristics 

Raffy may still be in prison, as we speak. Given what you already know and what you have learned through this case, how must one live life? How must one develop? Does one need to be armed with inborn traits and characteristics strong enough to compel him/her to “compete” and stand despite adversities and trials to assure either survival, success, or post-traumatic growth? EXPLAIN

“Raffy” is a “crack baby”

Conducting a Clinical Interview and Diagnosing

Conducting a Clinical Interview and Diagnosing

Use the following case and complete the three parts in this week’s discussion:

Alejandro is a 12-year-old Mexican boy who lives with his father and younger brother. About a week ago, his mother passed away. His teacher, Mr. Kombs, reported that he went from a fun-loving boy to a boy with “sad eyes.” Mr. Kombs also reported that Alejandro falls asleep in class, has a hard time focusing, and doesn’t speak much. He tends to stare into space and doesn’t go outside to recess at the appointed time. He has asked Alejandro a few times if he is OK, and Alejandro shrugs his shoulders. For the last two days, he has been tearful in class out of nowhere and asked to go to the restroom. Unfortunately, the teacher doesn’t know how the mother passed. He has reached out to Alejandro’s father, who has not returned any phone calls.

Part I: An intake has many parts, two of which are explaining informed consent and building rapport. Create a robust initial discussion response that addresses the following areas:

  • Discuss the importance of explaining informed consent.
  • What does Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct say about your responsibility as it relates to informed consent? (Hint: Do not simply copy and paste an ethical standard in your response to address this question.)
  • What techniques would you use to build rapport with a 12-year-old, reserved Mexican boy, Alejandro, whose mother just passed?

Part 2: Your intake also includes a clinical interview. Pick two history sections and write at least three open-ended questions that you would want to ask in your interview with Alejandro.

  • Developmental history.
  • Educational history.
  • Medical history.
  • Familial/relationship history.
  • Trauma history.
  • Psychiatric history.
  • Legal history.
  • Substance use/abuse history.
  • Social history.

Part 3: Offer at least two rule-out diagnoses for this case and justify your answer using diagnostic criteria.

Experiencing microaggressions in therapy with heterosexual therapists

Pick a cultural minority group in the United States from the list below and analyze a research article related to psychotherapy with members of that group. Specifically, talk about the research population, hypotheses, research questions, and major findings of the article. For example, you might analyze a research article about the most prevalent symptoms of depression for Native Americans or how often lesbians report experiencing microaggressions in therapy with heterosexual therapists.

Note that your analysis should not be information copied and pasted from the article. You should read the article and write this discussion post using your own words.

  • Racial minorities: Any racial/ethnic group other than European Americans.
  • Gender minorities: Any gender group other than cis men.
  • Sexual minorities: Any sexual orientation group other than heterosexual people.
