...Axia College Material Appendix F Healthy Interpersonal Relationships Worksheet Use your textbook to answer the following questions. You are not required to respond in essay format. You may use short-answer responses, including lists, to answer these questions. 1. What are the characteristics of intimate relationships? What are behavioral interdependence, need fulfillment, emotional attachment, and emotional availability? Why is each important in relationship development? The characteristics of an intimate relationship are respect, trust, feeling secure, desire and being one another’s cheerleader. I think that behavioral interdependence, need fulfillment, emotional attachment, and emotional availability are really you and your partner being there for each other. We all want to be listened to, loved and needed. If there is no emotional attachment or availability I do not believe a relationship can flourish. There is no connection without these elements, we need to listen to each other and offer heartfelt support or advice on whatever is bothering the other person. These will cultivate a bond and trust with each other. 2. What problems might form barriers to intimacy? What actions can you take to reduce or remove these barriers? Barriers to intimacy could be past trauma, bad experiences or lack of confidence. I think in some instances a therapist may help you to overcome past issues as well as coping techniques. I say this because I sustained...

...Workplace wellness programs have gained an increasing spotlight in recent years with the introduction and eventual rollout of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), also known as Obamacare. These types of programs are organized, managed or sponsored by employers with a focus on enriching the lives and wellbeing of employees by improving their physical, mental, emotional and occupational health through education and awareness. The design of these incentive-based programs encourage and reward health conscious behavior such as healthy dietary habits, physical activity, stress management and smoking cessation as well as other disease prevention measures by providing financial incentive or other type of rewards for changing health-related behavior or improving measurable outcomes. Providing or endorsing these types of programs and absorbing the costs associated with the products and services, there must be an incentive for the company as well. It has been touted that these programs have long-term, positive implications for companies such as reducing healthcare costs associated with workplace injuries and occupational complications, increasing productivity, reducing absenteeism, improving employee morale and enhancing the general culture and environment within the workplace. The American Heart Association has reported that by 2030, 40% of Americans will have a diagnosed cardiovascular disease and direct medical costs to society will rise from $278 billion to...

...J. McFarland Liberty University Summary In his book Integrative Approaches to Psychology and Christianity, David Entwistle introduces the complicated connection between psychology and theology. The connection between psychology and theology is a topic of great argument. (Entwistle, 2010) Some scholars believe it is a great idea to connect psychology and theology, while others believe it would be harmful to do so. Entwistle focuses on the similarities of psychology and theology, instead of their differences. Psychology focuses on finding the cause of behavior through biological and environmental methods as well as past experiences. Theology focuses on the cause of behavior being linked to sin. Psychology focuses on healing through theories. Theology focuses on healing through Christ. Even though psychology and theology have different methods they have similar goals to achieve overall wellness. Entwistle stated that both psychology and theology focus on the cause of behavior and healing. (Entwistle, 2010) Psychology and theology also both contain truth. Entwistle believes “All truth is God’s truth.” (Entwistle, 2010) Psychology and theology are not so different and both can be combined to help achieve overall wellness in the lives of others. Entwistle made a point that theology and science have been embattled throughout history. Entwistle explains that how a person views the world determines how they view the truth in their lives. Entwistle also emphasizes that a worldview...

...At Colby there exists many wonderful opportunities called Wellness seminars that allow for the students of Colby to explore, in a safe secure environment how to navigates the pitfalls and caveats of life. These Wellness seminars range from yoga to suicide prevention to meditation. Based off Yasir Qadhi and Ben Sommer, I have concluded that an interesting seminar would be sessions where the two discuss the sexual activity of Colby students. Both sessions would be different and both Qadhi and Sommer would use their ideas on how to interpret the scripture and holy doctrine. Qadhi and Sommer all vary in their level of literalness of God’s word. This most evident discrepancy can be explained by respective societies’ confusion on how to engage...

...In comparing the competing conceptions of racism that we find in Garcia and Shelby, I feel that J.L.A. Garcia offers a more compelling argument. Garcia explains that an account of racism is only adequate if it clearly proposes what is wrong with it at the same time. He describes is stance in the following excerpt: “My proposal is that we conceive racism as fundamentally a vicious kind of racially based disregard for the welfare of certain people. In it's central and most viscous from, it is a hatred, ill will, directed against a person or persons on account of their assigned race. In a derivative form, one is a racist when one either does not care at all or does not care enough (i.e., as much as morality requires) or does not care in the right ways about the people assigned to a certain racial group, where this disregard is based on racial classification. Racism, then, is something that essentially involves not our beliefs and their rationality or irrationality, but out wants, intentions, likes, and dislikes and their distance from the moral virtues” (Timmons). Garcia believes that racism is rooted from “…disregard for the welfare of certain people.” He goes on to describe that in its most viscous form, racism is a “hatred, ill will, directed against a person or persons on account of their race.” Garcia’s...

...to Preschool Some parents may struggle with the idea of sending their child to a child care facility [preschool] so early, when they can just wait until their child goes to Kindergarten to start school. However, research has shown that children who have attended a preschool program end up doing better in higher grades and college, and also end up having a more successful career than those who did not attend preschool. “The experiences kids have in the early years have profound effects on their futures,” says Todd Grindal, an education expert at the Harvard School of Education (LearnVest). There are several pros to sending a child to preschool. According to Head Start, some of the pros include Social/Emotional Development, Health and Wellness as well as showing academic (cognitive) successes over those who did not attend a preschool program (Head Start). The choice is simple: have a child who will excel from having a preschool education or have a child, who could potentially lag behind the rest of their class because they did not receive the same preschool education as some of their classmates. People often overlook the importance of a child’s social/emotional development because many of them focus mostly on the academic side of learning. According to the National Association of the Education of Young Children, when a parent is looking for a center to send their child, they need to find one that fosters what their child needs socially and emotionally (NAEYC). For example...
