In cognitive therapy, changing an individual’s negative thought patterns is seen as key to alleviating psychological distress and improving mental health. Discuss how this approach can impact an individual’s perception and solution strategies for their problems, and under what circumstances might this method face challenges?
• The Discussion also requires a Comment or Reply to a classmate’s Discussion.
• This Comment or Reply requires a minimum of three complete sentences. 
• It is not only about the number of sentences, but the valid knowledge of the topic represented throughout the paragraph (Discussion) and/or the three sentences (Comment or Reply). And we are talking about “university student’s sentences” not “Mary is a girl or Tom is a boy” kind of sentences…
• These three sentences should represent a valid knowledge of the other student’s Discussion. 
• Note: Sentences just expressing your opinion and/or perception of your classmate’s Discussion, and/or complimenting your classmate do not count for points, i.e., “I love what you wrote about…”; “You did a great job…”; “I agree with you.

This essay is
meant to help students develop the ability to describe psychological principles
in writing, and communicate to friends, family members, and the general public
how psychological science can help us to understand events, social issues, or
situations we experience in our everyday lives. 
Similar to the weekly discussion posts, this is a longer essay
explaining to someone who has not taken psychology how the concept can help us
to understand specific events situations (1-2 pages single-spaced). The
concept(s) that you write about in your essay must be something that was
covered in one of the assigned textbook chapters.
Some ideas
would be to use your own personal experience, find news articles or op-eds
(articles expressing an opinion) describing current events or issues that need
to be addressed, television shows, films, music, literature, or other media
sources.  You will start by explaining
the real-world example so readers have enough background information to
understand the issue, situation, or event. Next, you will explain the concept
that you are applying to the real-world example, and discuss how that concept
helps us to understand the example you found.
In your essay
you should:
1.     
Provide
background information about the real-world example. If you’re using a personal
example, what was your experience like and what are the details that the reader
should know that will set up your use of the psychological concept in your
essay?
2.     
Define
and describe a concept in psychology that was covered in the textbook that
relates to the example in the media.  The
purpose is to demonstrate in writing your understanding of the concept, and
explain it well enough that someone who has not taken the course can understand
it. For example, if you’re writing about a time when you forgot something
important, what is the type of forgetting you experienced?  How does it differ from other types of
forgetting? What does it tell us about the process of how memory is encoded,
stored, and later retrieved?
3.     
Clearly
explain how the concept can be applied to your real-world example. 
**Essays will be automatically
checked for plagiarism, so if you submit another student’s essay, an essay
purchased online, or pasted text from other sources you will receive a zero for
the assignment and it will be reported to the department. 
Please do not use AI tools such as
ChatGPT to complete your essay.  It is not your original work and since it
scrapes the internet for the definitions of concepts it will likely lead to a
loss of points on your essay because the concepts in the textbook are different
from what is found in open sources online.  See City Tech’s policy on
plagiarism in the syllabus**
Sample media
sources:
You may choose
any of the following articles as the basis of your essay if you do not have a
personal example of your own.  However,
do not just summarize the article! Be sure to follow the instructions and
relate it to a concept covered in class.

Topic Selection Instructions and Resources
Introduction
While it may seem early, it is actually a good time to begin thinking about your topic. You have now had a few weeks or so of interaction with the material, and you can look ahead to see what is coming. As with all these stages of the final project, the idea is to keep you on track and to provide feedback all along the way. As such, do not worry too much about this stage. We just want you to think about what you might write about and to give you some idea of whether that is feasible or not. Many students end up changing their topic from what is posted here, and that is the nature of research, so no need to check with me before you submit—the submission is the checking with me, and if you turn something in, you get full credit. 
The Assignment
Selecting a research topic for a scholarly paper is a critical step in your academic journey. For your upcoming twenty-page paper, follow these instructions to choose an effective and engaging research topic: 
1. Understand the Assignment Requirements: 
· Start by identifying areas that genuinely interest you within the scope of the course, the discussion forums we have had so far, and the upcoming modules. 
· Consider topics that you are curious about or have a passion for, as this will keep you motivated throughout the research process. 
· Use a topic that can get you to the general page length required—around twenty pages for graduate—while avoiding topics that will take you far over that suggested length. 
2. Originality and Relevance:
· Aim for a topic that offers originality. It could be a new perspective on a familiar issue or exploring an under-researched area. 
· Ensure the topic is relevant to the course and contributes meaningfully to existing research. 
· Assume that you are already a scholar and are creating new knowledge based on extant research. 
3. Formulate a Research Question or Thesis Statement:
· Develop a clear research question or thesis statement. This sentence will guide your research and paper structure. 
· Your thesis statement should be specific, arguable, and reflect the essence of your research. 
4. Evaluate and Adjust: 
2 / 2
· Be prepared to re-evaluate and adjust your topic as you delve deeper into your research. 
· Stay flexible and open to refining your topic to ensure it remains feasible and compelling. 
Remember 
The choice of topic significantly influences the quality and impact of your paper. Choose a topic that not only fulfills the assignment requirements but also sparks your interest and curiosity. Happy researching!

Week 5 Discussion
Week 5 Discussion
Discussion Topic
The email you write on the job will require more effort than your personal email will. Don’t assume you can write to your employer or a customer the way you would a text message or a Facebook response to an old friend. In the world of work, you don’t just dash off an email. Discuss the proper steps you must take to ensure your email follows all the proper guidelines of emails in the world of work.
***Be sure your responses are substantial, thought-provoking, insightful.
Week 6
Please share your thoughts on the depression video? What are some takeaways you find interesting? Who do you find most interesting and why? At least 150 words per post for full credit.
Here’s the link on YouTube 

For this assignment, you participated in an online experiment on facial recognition.  Using the data that I gave you and your statistics from the analysis, you will write a short lab report (2-3 pages) in APA Style consisting of an Introduction, Method, Results, Discussion, and References. Your statistics are the same as the Mini Lab Stats Quiz.
Doing the experiment online is only to give you an idea of how the experiment works. You will write the mini lab report as if you were the researcher who conducted the experiment. 
Please use this article by Rehman and Herlitz (2007) as a reference in your report: Facial Recognition Article. You should not summarize this article as your entire paper. Use this article to help write your introduction and then use the data I provided for the rest of your paper.
