Big Five, Dark
Triad/Tetrad) 
• Maslow 
• Adler 
**Do either of the underlined ones**
In your reflection paper you should discuss the following: 
• Which theory/theorist fits best with how you think about personality? Be specific
and provide examples of ideas/constructs from the theory that fit with your views
of personality.
• Which theory/theorist fits least with how you think about personality? What
specific aspects of the theory do you find difficult to accept? 
• Have your ideas about personality changed in any way as a result of anything
we             covered in this course? If so, what has changed? 
The paper should be double-spaced and at least 2.5 pages in length. The paper should    have 1-inch
margins and use an 11- or 12-point Times New Roman font.

Consider all of the designs we have discussed. Select a behavior and an intervention and indicate which design you could implement to determine the validity of the intervention. Answer the following questions:
Who would your participant(s) be? Do not enter any identifying information. For example you may have “Student A was a 14-year old girl diagnosed with ADHD” or “Participant was an 8-year old boy at the Adult Day Treatment Program” (1 point)
What behavior will you measure? (2 points)
What is your intervention? (2 points)
What is your experimental question? (5 points)
What design are you using? Why? (5 points)
How will you know your intervention was successful (hypothetically)? Here you will have to sketch (but not submit) what your ideal graph should look like and be sure to describe the wanted descriptions of the visual analysis. For example, trend, level, variability, and latency to change (5 points)

Respond to the following questions:
1. Discuss how various bodies’ systems are affected by stress, and how can developing a mind/body program help a person address life event stress and everyday stress?
2. How do you see mindfulness practices and body practices aligning and complimenting mental health theories and/or therapies? Examples can be cognitive behavior, acceptance and commitment, allostatic load, positive thinking, or hypnosis. Please feel free to use a different counseling or psychological theory or therapy as an example.
3. How can therapists utilize information on brain structure and development with mindfulness? Be sure to address culture, ethics, spiritual, and socioeconomic factors where applicable.
4. Why should a therapist know about psychoneuroimmunology in order to work with a mind/body approach?

Overview
The goal of this assignment is to demonstrate several concepts related to classical conditioning, including: the learning curve, acquisition, unconditioned stimulus, unconditioned response, conditioned stimulus, conditioned response, stimulus generalization, stimulus discrimination, extinction, and spontaneous recovery. 
You hypothesize that a classically conditioned response will develop if you pair the word CAN with a loud noise (whistle).
Procedures
The basic procedure is to blow a loud whistle while a long list of words is being read.  You can only whistle when the word “CAN” is read.  Eventually, hearing the word can by itself will cause various conditioned responses.  You MUST recruit a subject.  If you can, you should have an observer as well.
Step 1.  You will need to gather your equipment:  noise maker, pencil/pen and this lab package. (If you do not have an observer, you will need a device to record the subject during the experiment.)
Step 2.  Select one person to be the subject and have him/her sit to face the wall.  Explain that a list of words will be read loudly they should respond naturally.
Step 3.  One person (not the subject) will read the list of words loudly.  [Stimulus Word List Download Stimulus Word List].
The reader of the words must activate the noisemaker immediately after reading the uppercase word, “CAN”.  On the lowercase “can” or any other word, do nothing but continue to read.  Activate the noise just after you read “CAN.”
If you have observers, they will watch the subject’s reactions and makes detailed notes during the experiment.  (If you do not have observers, the experimenter will have to record the subject to make notes on the reactions to each stimulus word later.)  Use the [Observation Form Download Observation Form] to record the responses of the participant.
Step 4. Throughout the experiment, the subject keeps his/her eyes closed to avoid the use of any visual stimulus cues from the other people’s facial expressions or hand movements.
Read the words at a steady rate of about one per second.  Try to keep your voice even.  Read all the words, including “CAN,” in the same fairly loud voice.  Try to persuade any “observers” from laughing and/or talking during the experiment.
Step 5.  After the experiment concludes, thank the subject.  Talk with the subject about feelings he/she may have experienced.  Take notes.
Step 6.  Write up the experiment identifying the following classical conditioning concepts in the context of this experiment:
acquisition
note that at first, the word “can” itself caused no special response. But after repeated pairings of “can” and the whistle, the word “can” by itself became gradually more and more likely to cause a learned response.
unconditioned stimulus
unconditioned response
conditioned stimulus
conditioned response
stimulus generalization
hint: after conditioning occurred, was there any reaction to words that sounded like “can” (e.g., ban, ran, van, fan, tan, camp, card, cap, cape, call, cast).
stimulus discrimination (see above)
extinction
(note that there was a long run late in the list of the word “can” occurring without a whistle (i.e., “can” but not “CAN”)
spontaneous recovery (try this out)
Step 7. Please make sure to include the completed table with the subject observations in the Appendix of your paper.  Also, make sure to describe the observations and refer to the table in the results section of your paper.
Your write-up MUST describe behavior that would illustrate the following concepts no matter how your participant actually responds: acquisition, unconditioned stimulus, unconditioned response, conditioned stimulus, conditioned response, stimulus generalization, stimulus discrimination, extinction, and spontaneous recovery. (e.g. If the experiment is unsuccessful, your discussion section must show that you understand what these concepts would have looked like.)
