  • “Using Conformity Tactics to Address Recycling Efforts at John Jay College”

    In chapter 8 of the textbook, we learned about conformity (a change in one’s behavior due to the real or imagined influence of other people) and how we can change people’s behavior by using different conformity tactics (e.g., foot-in-the-door technique, door-in-the-face technique).
    For your final paper, you are to write an APA-formatted 3-page paper in which you identify a problem at John Jay (or any other college or school you have attended or a workplace) that needs to be addressed (e.g., recycling efforts, engagement in sporting events, getting people to take the stairs). You will then use each of the four strategies of conformity learned in Chapter 8 to describe how they can be used to fix the problem that you identified.

  • “Choosing What is Better: The Theme of New Creation and the Person of Jesus Christ in Luke 10:38-42” “The Power of Dwelling in Friendship and Fellowship: A Lesson in Obedience and Service from John 14:23 and Luke 10:38-42”

    BIBL 104
    Name:
    BIBLE STUDY PROJECT: CORRELATION TEMPLATE EXAMPLE
    Passage: Luke 10:38-42
    A. How does this passage from Acts fit within the metanarrative of the Bible? State what
    type of story you believe this to be (creation, fall, redemption, or new creation) and
    explain why you believe this to be so? Your explanation should be 1 paragraph (150-300
    words) in length. It may be good to review chapter 6 in Everyday Bible Study to recall
    what each of these four themes are about.
    The story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10:38-42 resembles the theme of New Creation in
    the Bible’s metanarrative. New creation is about heaven, home, and God’s desire to dwell
    with His people. While heaven and home (from an eternal perspective) are not addressed
    in this passage, the concept of a God who desires to dwell with His people is. On several
    occasions Scriptures highlights that God desires to dwell with His people (Lev. 26:12;
    Jer. 32:38, Ez. 37:27, 2 Cor. 6:16). This desire is represented in this narrative. Jesus’
    actions reveal a God who not only desires to dwell with His people (Rev. 21:3) but a God
    who does indeed dwell with His people (Jn. 1:14). Further, while Jesus does not condemn
    Martha for her service-oriented attitude, he does point out that Mary, choosing to dwell
    with Jesus, has chosen that which is better. God desires to dwell His people and
    commends those whose desire is to dwell with Him.
    B. How does your principle from Luke 10:38-42 fit with the rest of the Scripture? This
    principle is the one you have written out in 1-3 sentences in the Interpretation
    Assignment. If your theological principle is a true Biblical principle, it will be reflected
    throughout the Scriptures. Where is the theological principle discovered in this New
    Testament narrative found elsewhere in the Scriptures? Your explanation should be 1
    paragraph (150-300 words) in length. Be specific. Give, explain, and cite your supporting
    passage(s) from Scripture.
    In Leviticus 26:12, God says to Israel, “I will walk among you and be your God, and you
    will be my people.” This is a continued reflection of a God who desired to dwell with His
    people in the Garden of Eden. So much so, that Genesis 3:8 notes that God came and
    walked in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve. God’s desire has always been to
    dwell His people. The Bible opens with this theme (Genesis 3:8) and the Bible closes
    with this theme (Rev. 21:3). It is highlighted with God’s covenant with Israel as
    expressed in Leviticus 26:12 and is further demonstrated in Jesus Christ, the Word of
    God, dwelling on earth with us (Jn. 1:14). This is not simply a theme that is found in one
    or two places in Scripture. Rather, this is a theme that runs through all the Scriptures and
    speaks to the character and nature of God. He is not a God who is aloof, distant, or
    disinterested. Instead, He is a God who desires to dwell with and amongst His people.
    BIBL 104
    C. How does this passage from Luke’s Gospel reflect the person and work of Jesus Christ?
    State and explain at least one way that the theological principle of this passage correlates
    with something of the person and work of Jesus Christ. Your explanation should be 1
    paragraph (150-300 words) in length. Be specific. Give, explain, and cite your supporting
    passage(s) from Scripture.
    In John 14:23 Jesus says, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will
    love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.” Jesus affirms that
    both he and God will dwell with those who obey his teaching.” God the Father and God
    the Son are not playing hide and seek so that they can remain apart from or distant from
    His followers. Instead, the promise in this verse is that those who obey God’s word will
    find themselves in the dwelling with God. In Luke 10:38-42 Mary has chosen to sit at the
    feet of Jesus and to hear His teaching. She knows both the “dwelling with” and the
    “teaching of” through her actions. Further, Jesus commends her for choosing “what is
    better.” As Jesus states in John 14:23 and illustrates in Luke 10:38-42, God values
    dwelling in friendship and fellowship. When dwelling in friendship and fellowship are
    prioritized, they lead to obedience and service. There is a connection between dwelling,
    loving, and obeying.

  • “Understanding Bipolar Disorder: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Options”

    research paper on one of the chosen options. I personally wanted to choose bipolar disorder. The essay needs to be in apa format please!

  • “Self-Monitoring Behavior Change: Increasing Studying Time” Step 1: Behavior Decision The behavior I have chosen to increase is my studying time. As a student, it is important for me to dedicate enough time to studying in order to “The Effects of Reinforcement and Punishment on Sleep Behavior: A Case Study”

    Please know that self-monitoring your behavior is difficult, but a task that can (and will) be completed.
    Step 1: Behavior Decision.
    ▪ Decide on the behavior you will increase or decrease
    ▪ Write a paragraph description of the behavior, being as behaviorally specific as possible; express the goal of your
    project in observable, quantifiable terms.
    ▪ These goals must be very specific, and include both long and short range (daily) goals–but most important, they
    must be measurable;
    ▪ You can select those behaviors which you wish to do away with, non-desired goals as well as desired behaviors–
    but it would be best if you described behaviors that you want to increase (focus on creating behaviors that are
    incompatible with the behaviors you want to remove)
    Step 2: Baseline 1.
    ▪ Establish the baseline, the operant level: measure the frequency of both the good and the bad behavior before you
    try to create any changes:
    *Measurement is critical in self-change projects, so begin by recording your behavior on the checklist. Please note what
    is happing before during and after the selected behavior.
    *Include the information about baseline in your report (If, for example, you were trying to study more you should say
    something like “On day one the participant spent 2.3 hours studying, on day two the participant did not study at all, and on
    day three the participant spent 1 hour studying).
    ▪ The length of your baseline recording will be over a one-week period.
    ▪ You also need to indicate where the behavior occurs; for example, you might say “The researcher decided to
    modify smoking behavior but needed to know the situations which elicited smoking –so for 7 days the researcher
    kept track of how many cigarettes were smoked, when, and where.”
    Step 3: Design Behavioral Change
    ▪ Select SR (Reinforcing Stimulus) and design the contingencies.
    ▪ Make a list of the reinforcers that you have decided are potent and controllable for and by you.
    ▪ List these reinforcers in your report and note which one you plan to use to control the behavior
    ▪ You can also identify punishers: aversive stimuli that you would rather avoid. You will be using these to reduce
    behavior.
    Name the Contingencies:
    ▪ State the exact conditions under which these consequences are applied (e.g., If I study for 1 hour I will get 5
    M&M candies).
    ▪ If you plan to use punishment, then state those criteria as well (e.g., I did not meet my goal of studying for 3 hours
    and so the following day I did not permit myself to listen to any music).
    Step 4: Intervention Stage.
    ▪ Institute the Program of Behavior Modification. Begin controlling the behavior through judicious use of
    reinforcers and punishment. This period should last one week (use another self-monitoring check list for
    recording behavior).
    ▪ Keep good records: record the behavior and the reinforcers/punishments constantly.
    ▪ Control the “stimulus environment”. It is essential that you can administer the reinforcers immediately after the
    behavior, and that you can reduce interference from reinforcers that you do not control. That means you should
    make changes in your routine to avoid temptations (e.g., tell other people about the project and ask them not to
    interfere).
    ▪ If appropriate, post cues in your environment that will trigger your response: if you are supposed to be exercising
    more, then put up a sign in bedroom that says “Today you must exercise for 1 hour.” (Describe your use of such a
    sign in your report).
    Step 5: Follow up.
    Because of time constraints, this step is optional, but would be used in any professional behavior modification project.
    Once the behavior has been created, you would return to baseline by stopping the rewards or punishments. This step is not
    necessary for this report. However, should you decide to complete this step, record your behavior on the checklist for one
    week.
    Step 6: Write up the report
    ▪ Please type the report. There are no length restrictions. Use the length that you feel is appropriate to exactly
    specify what you did. The paper will have five sections:
    1. Introduction. (1-2 pages)
    2. Literature review. (2 pages) *Optional
    3. Methodology. (1 page)
    4. Results. (1 page)
    5. Discussion. (4-6 pages)
    ▪ The report will include charts and graphs of the behavior rates, but it should be a well-written narrative (with
    sentences and paragraphs).
    ▪ Add a final paragraph that draws conclusions about the project.
    ▪ Use appropriate terms from the lectures and text.
    Introduction –
    – Introduce your dependent variable; what behavior will you measure
