...Conclusion In the systematic analysis of the 23 studies we have highlighted the role of Leventhal’s Common Sense Model (SRM) in the analysis of hereditary / familial cancer and the role of the psycho-social impact on individuals affected by the disease or with high risk for the disease in the screening for hereditary / familial cancer and in the genetic testing and counseling. Thus, we have identified three themes in which we included the analyzed studies: a) identification of the predictors involved in the screening compliance, in the responses to health threats, in emotional distress; b) assessment of the emotional and cognitive impact, of the perceived risk and the perceived disease in genetic testing, of the family history of cancer or...

...CRITICAL EVALUATION OF A PSYCHOLOGY RESEARCH PAPER The aim of this report is to critique the research paper entitled “Special Needs Characteristics of Children with Emotional and Behavioral Disorders That Affect Inclusion in Regular Education”, by Stoutjesdik, Scholte, & Swaab (2012). The aim of the research paper is to determine the special needs characteristics of children with Emotional and Behavioral Disorders (EBD) that predict the placement of these children in restrictive school settings. The researchers point out that children with Emotional and Behavioral Disorders (EBD) are often placed in the most restrictive educational settings, despite various countries’ aim to place all children in the least restrictive settings possible, based on the Salamanca Statement (1994). This is due to the fact that EBDs are considered the most challenging disabilities to be catered for in regular education settings. The researchers argue that there are differences in the characteristics between children with EBD that are educated in special education schools and those educated in inclusive education schools. It is argued that these differences play a significant role in the decision as to where a child with EBD is placed and the study seeks to answer two research questions: determination of the differences in characteristics between children with EBD placed in the two different settings, and determination of the the difference that contribute most to placement in restrictive education...

... The title of the article is “Brief Sleep After Learning Keeps Emotional Memories Alive for Years” which predicts a causal claim. I believe the researchers are making a causal claim because the title does not use verb phrases that are linked with association claims such as prefers, predict, or tied to. The title also does not use descriptive statistics to describe one variable, which would lead to a frequency claim. The title also infers the use two variables where one is a manipulated independent variable. 2. What hypothesis or hypotheses did the study attempt to test? The study attempted to test the effect of brief sleep or lack of sleep after learning new material and its’ affect on how well emotional memories are remembered. 3. What was/were the primary independent variable(s) of the study? The primary independent variable was the amount of sleep the participants received. 4. How was/were the independent variable(s) operationalized? The independent variable was operationalized in two levels where one level was a 3-hour interval of wakefulness and the other was a 3-hour interval of sleep after learning. Sleep was measured and monitored...

...Introduction To Emotional Intelligence Since the publication of the bestselling book Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman (1995), the topic of emotional intelligence has popularized. Programs seeking to increase emotional intelligence have been implemented in numerous settings, and courses on developing one’s emotional intelligence have been introduced in universities and organizations. But what exactly is emotional intelligence? According to Goleman, emotional intelligence (E.I.) refers to the ability to recognize and regulate emotions in ourselves and others (Goleman, 2001). Peter Salovey and John Mayer initially defined emotional intelligence as: A form of intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one's own and others' feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them and to use this information to guide one's thinking and actions (Salovey & Mayer, 1990). The current characterization and the most widely accepted. Emotional intelligence is thus defined as: The ability to perceive emotion, integrate emotion to facilitate thought, understand emotions, and to regulate emotions to promote personal growth (Mayer & Salovey, 1997). This section will review the emotional intelligence literature. First, description of two models of emotional intelligence is outlined. Second, research on the gender and age differences in emotional intelligence will be discussed. Third, the application of emotional intelligence to everyday living will be explored. Salovey and Mayer:...

...and Research Methods Regarding Emotional Intelligence In Daniel Goleman's “The Emotional Intelligence of Leaders”, real life examples, scientific facts, and the overall impacts of emotional intelligence on leaders and organizations are highlighted. Overall, high emotional intelligence in leaders is more dependent on success within an organization as opposed to high rational intelligence. This basically means that a majority of successful individuals take into account the emotions of themselves and others, while personal knowledge has minimal bearing on the degrees of achievement. Goleman points out that there is minimal variation in the IQ's of organizational leaders, further supporting that emotional intelligence is a bigger determinant in measuring accomplishments on all organizational levels. From a scientific standpoint, emotions are controlled internally by the limbic system. Contained within this region of the brain is a structure called the amygdala, which stores a person's life-long memory. The amygdala is also responsible for controlling all of the different types of emotional reactions a person may experience. The author’s observations of the biological aspects of emotional intelligence, which includes the purpose of the limbic system and the function of the amygdala, are critical in understanding why emotions are a part of human life and important to organizational leaders. The article further examines the concept of emotional intelligence by highlighting its...

...adjunctive effect of raloxifene in treatment the cognitive impairment in schizophrenia as well as to limit the side effects. The second issue was the small sample size. They need to increase the number of the patients for the future study to validate their data more. The third issue was that they did the parallel design analysis in the first 6-week which was good to protect the study from the bias that may consequence of carryover effect as well as to make sure the absence of carryover effect in order to do the crossover design analysis. Crossover design is more powerful than the parallel design since each individual serve as his/her owns the control. The fourth limitation in this study was used a crossover design. After discontinuation of raloxifene, we cannot be expected that the treatment group returns to near baseline because the long-term effect of raloxifene may cause changing of estrogen gene expression and promote neuronal protection which may have carryover effects. Thus, a large parallel design in future is required to assess the effect of raloxifene as weel as to assess the effect after discontinuation the drug. In the healthy adult's comparison group, the researcher excluded a personal history or a first-degree relative with the psychiatric disorder. In order to explain that, Goff, D. C. et al. reported that individuals who share unexpressed genetic components of susceptibility to schizophrenia also experience impairment in cognitive function including, first-degree...

...Lecture №1. Introduction, Definition and History Psychology is the study of behavior and mental processes. Psychologists use systematic scientific methods to understand behavior and human thought processes. Different branches of psychology have emerged to explore different topics and perspectives. Industrial/organizational (I/O) psychology is the specialty area within psychology that studies human behavior in work settings. It is concerned with: - The study of behavior in work settings. - The application of psychology principles to change work behavior. Therefore I/O psychology has two objectives: 1. To conduct research in an effort to increase our knowledge and understanding of human work behavior. To apply that knowledge to improve work behavior, the work environment, and the psychological conditions of the worker. Roots and History of Industrial/Organizational Psychology The Beginnings. Around the turn of the 20th century, Frederick Taylor, an engineer, believed that scientific principles could be applied to the study of work behavior. “One best method” Time-and-motion studies - work tasks are broken down into simple movements. Scientific management, a movement started by Taylor, was a method of using scientific principlesto improve the efficiency and productivity of jobs. Drawbacks of Taylor’s philosophy: - Complex jobs, demanding sophisticated skills. - Fewer and fewer people are engaged in physical labor. - For some jobs there is no “one best...

...A new approach to assessing leadership dimensions, styles and context An Article published in Competency & Emotional Intelligence Quarterly, Winter 2003. The new Leadership Dimensions Questionnaire brings together the latest thinking on competencies, emotional intelligence and intellectual ability; its authors, Victor Dulewicz and Malcolm Higgs, explain their research process and the ways in which the LDQ can be applied. INTRODUCTION A new model of leadership It has been estimated that, in 1999 alone, more than 2,000 books were published on the topic of leadership. A recent search on the Library of Congress database revealed in excess of 8,000 books on the subject. Higgs (2002) conducted a wide-ranging review of the development in thinking on the nature of effective leadership. In particular, he looked at the literature from a “sense-making” rather than discovery perspective (Weick, 1995). One part of a pattern to emerge from his review is that the personality of the leader is a determinant of their effectiveness (eg, Hogan and Hogan, 2001; Collins, 2001). The second element of the overall pattern is that effective leaders differ from each other through the exercise of a relatively small range of skill or competence areas (eg, Kouzes and Posner, 1998; Goffee and Jones, 2000; Higgs and Rowland, 2001; Hogan and Hogan, 2001). The way in which these skills and competencies are exercised is not prescribed, but is the function of the underlying personality of the...

...three hallmarks of scientific research. Use Sam’s study as an example to discuss these hallmarks. Purposiveness : Scientific research must have a definite aim or purpose focus . Here Sam’s succeeded to develop a purpose for the research : “What is the effect of personality and emotional reactivity on the financial performance of day traders.” Testability: Scientific research should test logically developed hypotheses to see whether or not the data supports the hypothesis that are developed after a careful study . Here Sam has derived two hypotheses ,but results from Sam’s study support his first hypothesis only . Objectivity : Refers to a conclusion drawn through the interpretation of the results of data analysis , objectivity is based on facts m derived from actual data .these results indicate that there is a clear link between emotional reactivity of investors and trading performance. These findings suggest that traders may benefit from training in emotion management and coaching. Do you think that the results of Sam’s study are generalizable to other organizations? Why (not)? Yes , Sam’s study are generalizable to other organizations, as Sam was studying the effect of personality and emotional reactivity on the financial performance of day traders. in addition the data collected was externally (i.e Sam recruited 50 volunteers from a six-week training program for day traders offered by Rose Bush).

...in pediatric intensive care settings who provide direct patient care Recommendation: It is recommended that nurses working in pediatric intensive care settings receive training that includes compassion fatigue awareness, coping strategies, stress management, relaxation techniques and self-care interventions to decrease the level of compassion fatigue experienced in the work environment (Marine, Ruotsalainen, Serra, & Verbeek (2009) [1a]; Gunusen, & Ustun (2010) [2a]; Kravits, McAllister-Black, Grant, & Kirk (2010) [4a]; Meadors & Lamson (2008) [4a]). Discussion/Synthesis of Evidence related to the recommendation: The evidence referred to a variety of concepts related to the manifestation of compassion fatigue, including burnout, emotional exhaustion, and workplace stress. The concepts were all similar in referring to nurses’ limitations in providing a high standard of patient care due to the events, experiences and challenges associated with their job responsibilities. Meadors & Lamson (2008) [4a] discussed evidence specifically focused on compassion fatigue. The researchers reported significantly more negative behaviors and feelings (p = 0.001-0.003) demonstrated by the...

...PSYCHOLOGY AQA A – UNIT 1 Attachment is an emotional bond between two people, it is a 2 way process that endures over time, serving the function of protecting the infant and leading to certain behaviours (seeking proximity, distress on separation, pleasure on reunion and general orientation of behaviour) There is a Primary attachment figure (PAF) EXPLANATIONS OF ATTACHMENT: LEARNING THEORY Learnt rather than inborn Classical: Association Proposes that food (UCS) naturally produces a feeling of pleasure (UCR). The feeder (NS) becomes associated with the food (UCS) when the infant is fed. The mother eventually produces the sense of pleasure associated with the food. Pleasure is now a Conditioned Response which causes attachment Operant: Reinforcement (DOLLARD AND MILLER 1950) When an infant if hungry, they feel uncomfortable and I drive is produced to reduce this discomfort. When the infant in fed, the drive is reduced and this produces a feeling of pleasure. The infant learns that the food is rewarding (Primary Reinforcer) and begins to recognise the person that provided the food (Secondary reinforcer). Attachment occurs because the infants seeks to be around the person that supplied the award. Evaluating learning theory Research by Harlow (1959) suggests attachment may not totally based upon the provision of food. Harlow removed baby rhesus monkeys from their mothers, and placed them into a cage. In the cage there were 2 wire mesh cylinders. One covered in towelling...
