2. How can psychological theory be applied to describe the source of the problem and to treat the issue for the individual?
   1. You may choose the psychological theory/theories you wish to apply (e.g. stress theories, adherence theories, health promotion theories, and social norms theories, as long as they are discussed in the literature).
3. What issues are discussed in the literature regarding this health issue? What research is currently being examined on the topic?
4. How can health psychology/health psychologists aid individuals, families, and/or communities in coping with the illness?

Write a 200-word original response to the questions, or write a 200-word response to other students’ responses. The Purpose of “Discussions” is to interact with one another and learn from the discourse. So try not to simply post an “online essay” but engage one another, play with ideas, and propose challenges and extensions to one another’s posts.

1. In your opinion, what is the most hazardous task performed by emergency response personnel to a critical medical incident or special rescue situation?

2. How do you think the Seven-Steps to Lasting Lifestyle Change apply to the emergency responder? How do you help another coworker or person under your supervision with the process? What challenges do you imagine you might be faced with in terms of getting others “on board” with you desires to increase the work group’s wellness?

3. What is/are the important aspects of “becoming a coach” that are needed to be of benefit to others? Do you have any specific personality characteristics, attitudes, or habits that might get in your way of effectively encouraging and coaching change in others?

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, please read the Gatto and Tak (2008), Gentzler, et. al. (2011), Kirkorian, et. al. (2008), Marston, et. al. (2013), Napier (2014), Strasburger, et. al. (2010), and Thomée, et. al. (2011) required articles for the week.

In this discussion, you will describe the positive and negative influences of technology on human development within two periods across the lifespan. Choose two developmental periods of interest from the list below.
•Infancy and toddlerhood (0-3 years)

•Childhood (3-13 years)

•Adolescence (13-18 years)

•Young Adulthood (18-40 years)

•Middle-Late Adulthood (40+ years)

For your initial post, evaluate the unique scholarly perspectives presented in the required articles on your chosen developmental periods and describe the way(s) in which technology has either positively or negatively influenced physical, cognitive, and/or psychosocial development within the two developmental periods. Support your perspective(s) with references from the required peer-reviewed resources. Choose a theme of education, gender, socioeconomic status, culture, or family/parenting within your chosen developmental periods. Research at least one peer-reviewed article which demonstrates how your chosen theme may mediate the effect(s) of technology within your chosen developmental periods. Apply the developmental research from the articles to describe your theme of development within each of your two chosen periods.

For next Thursday, I want you to read the attached documents and compose a short written response. These documents consist of excerpts from the 1798 Alien and Sedition Acts, as well the Virginia Resolution, which contains the response by Jefferson and Madison to these policies. After reading these documents, I want you to respond to the following questions in a short written response (a page or so).

1. What justifications do the Alien and Sedition Acts contain for these measures aimed primarily at the press?

2. On what basis does the Virginia Resolution argue that these Acts are unjust?

3. Finally, while our instincts tell us that such measures as the Alien and Sedition Acts cannot be justified, are there certain circumstances where you could see a need by government to limit freedom of the press in this manner?

You are a psychologist in an urban community that has seen a 200% growth in its immigrant population over the past 3 years. Eighty-seven percent of this population speaks a language other than English at home. You work for a community mental health center, which is seeing an increase in referral from this population primarily because of the children’s interactions with the school system. The children typically become bilingual quickly. The parents are typically less fluent in English than their children; however, approximately 30% of the adults in this immigrant population are fluent in English and hold advanced degrees and middle- to upper- middle class jobs. The remaining 70% primarily hold jobs that do not require higher education although many do have degrees from their country of origin.

Based on the reading that i will attach, evaluate research and practice aspects in this applied context and use elements and address the following:
What types of staffing and training recommendations would you make for the community mental health center?
How would you facilitate intergroup work relations among staff at the community mental health center?
Would you support the use of the DSM-5 to diagnose clients with limited English proficiency?
How would you evaluate whether or not your staff is competent to work with this population?
Explain the rationales for your answers by providing evidence from the required readings
