The implimation section of the research paper. Independent variable are misinformation and lighting and the dependent variable is memory. 

reflect on a scenario from the text book, explain how we would counsel the family using a therapy. 3 paragraphs min. Please use case study 2.4 in chapter 2. Use the life cycle stage model in chapter 2 as well.

Alex is having his first session with a counselor and is recounting his life history: 
I’ve just turned 20. I finished high school about two years ago, and I have been lost since then. I was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder when I was five, and it has been a struggle since then. My mother stayed home to take care of me full time. Through her effort, I thrived. I was in the gifted program from the first grade to high school. I started taking ADHD medications when I was 11. I quit taking them after I graduated high school. I suffered from severe depression to the point that I attempted to hurt myself three times. The only reason I’m still living is because of my mom. She loved me unconditionally, no matter what. I’ve had jobs here and there, but I always ended up getting fired. I now live independently, sort of, with my friends. Most of the time, my mom pays for the rent. I have a girlfriend who I get along with, and I think we are pretty solid. I am applying for jobs, but I hate being with people. I hate being in school; I think it is a colossal waste of money. 
My sister is a nurse. She is my mom’s star kid- accomplished and successful. My only accomplishment is my car- I love working with my car, although it’s older than me and it cost a lot of money to fix. I love driving it because I feel free when I am driving. I love playing video games, too. It’s a community that never leaves you, and I feel a great sense of belongingness with them. I can be myself when I am playing with my friends. It’s an escape for me -an emotional vacation. However, I am turning 21 soon. The pressure is getting to be too high for me to be financially independent. I don’t know what to do, where to start, or even how to start. That’s the reason why I am here. 
In 4-5 paragraphs, answer the following questions. Use at least two sources and cite them using APA format:

Here is my Topic 
Does stress and frustration cause aggression? 

My research paper is about between substance abuse and personality disorders and the willingness to do treatment.
Introduction: Write a brief introduction to your methods section. In this section, briefly introduce your topic, variables, and research question(s). For each research question, you must include a null and alternative hypothesis. This section of your paper should be four to six sentences.
Participants: Write a paragraph describing your participants. This section should include the number of participants, the required characteristics of the participants, and a clear plan on how you will recruit the participants for your study. This section should be one to two paragraphs.
Materials: Write a paragraph describing the materials (surveys, classrooms, tests) you need to accomplish your study. This section needs to address each of your variables. It is recommended that you write one paragraph per variable in your study. Each paragraph will describe how the variable is operationalized and materials needed to measure it in your study. You must be specific. If you are using a survey, you must list the name of the survey and cite it. If you are creating groups, you must describe your exact method for accomplishing this. Reliability and validity information must be included for each measure (e.g., Cronbach’s alpha, interrater reliability, test-retest reliability). Reminder: You cannot create your own surveys/questionnaires in this assignment. You must use a valid and reliable measure and cite it.
Procedure: Write a paragraph describing the step-by-step process one must follow to collect data for your study. If you are assigning groups, you must detail that process. If you are administering surveys, you must describe how/where participants are receiving the surveys. This section must also describe how and when participants will give their informed consent in the process. This section will vary based on study complexity, but should range between, one to three paragraphs.

The
Diverse Populations paper will involve you selecting one of the theories or
approaches discussed in class and to do a literature review on the utility or
generalizability of this theory or approach to diverse populations. As you will
note during the course, most theorists covered are Caucasian males of European
descent. Your paper should, drawing upon not only your reflections but also a
scholarly review, highlight the strengths and limitations of the theory you
have selected. The paper should be done in APA format and include a title page
with running head and page numbers, an introduction section indicating why
you’re topic is important, a results section in which you highlight some of the
findings of your literature review, and a discussion section in which you
synthesize your findings and include your thoughts on how good a fit this
theory or approach would be for you to utilize, and a reference section. The
body of the paper (excluding references) should be 8-10 pages and formatted
completely according to APA publication guidelines. 

Please make a discussion posted related to the weekly content. For each post, be succinct (use no more than 75 words) and professional. Do not create your post as a reply to the pinned post. Instead, use Yellowdig’s Create option to create a new post.
Real-life is complex. Rarely can we predict people’s thoughts and behaviors from just one or two variables. This week we are learning how multiple predictor variables can be included in correlational research to account for more of the variance in an outcome variable. Please reply to one of the following in your discussion post:
Share and discuss an outside resource such as a link to a video, website, or scholarly article that discusses the use of multiple predictor variables in correlational research. What did you find helpful or interesting?
Share and discuss an article from the scholarly literature in which multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the data.
What about this week’s content did you find to be of most interest to your professional development and/or academic jourPSYney?

Before submitting your Assessment, carefully review the rubric. This is the same rubric the assessor will use to evaluate your submission and it provides detailed criteria describing how to achieve or master the Competency. Many students find that understanding the requirements of the Assessment and the rubric criteria help them direct their focus and use their time most productively. 
TO PREPARE FOR YOUR FINAL ASSESSMENT, COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING STEPS:
1. Locate and Assess Articles
Search the “APA PsycINFO database” in the Walden Library and locate a peer reviewed article on a psychology topic you would like to explore relevant to your area of specialization in your program. (Note: Refer to the resources in Module 1 for help with how to complete your search. Focus on the resources for navigating the Walden Library, searching Library databases, and limiting your searches to full text, peer review, and publication date)
Next, search the Internet and locate an article related to the same topic.
Reflect on the sources of both articles, and evaluate each article using the evaluation methods listed in the Module 1 resources. Evaluate the sources to determine if they are scholarly. Consider the following questions:
Would this author have a reason for bias?
Is this source old, or is it up to date (i.e., published within the past 5 years)?
Is the source peer-reviewed? (Do other researchers regard it as trustworthy; did other researchers review it in order for it to be published, or is it an opinion piece?)
Does this source cite other scholarly references?
2. Create a Draft for Part 1 of Your Expository Paper
In your draft, respond to the following:
Describe the two articles you found and how they are related to your area of specialization in your program. (Minimum one paragraph per article.)
Compare and contrast the two articles and explain the differences you noticed between them. In your explanation, evaluate each article in terms of whether each article is a scholarly or non-scholarly source. For each article, explain why and how you made the determination.
Explain how the use of peer review articles will improve the arguments in your scholarly writing. As a professional in the field of psychology, which article would you use as evidence to support your ideas?
Provide in-text citations and a reference list following APA form and style for all sources used in your paper. Your reference list should include your two selected articles and must include the URL and/or DOI of the articles.
3. Submit Your Part 1 Draft to Grammarly and Turnitin
Once you write the draft of your Part 1 of this Assessment, complete the following:
Submit your draft to Grammarly to check your grammar, spelling, and mechanics.
Submit your writing to the GS002 Assessment: Part 2 (Not final submission) Turnitin link.
Access the draft of your writing from Turnitin.
Review the Similarity Index and the Match Overview. Review the matches in detail and consider the changes you would need to make to your writing.
4. Revise Your Part 1 Draft
Based on your Grammarly and Turnitin results, revise Part 1 as needed in preparation for submitting your finalized Assessment.
ASSESSMENT (2–3 PAGES EXCLUDING TITLE AND REFERENCE PAGE)
After following all the steps to prepare for this Assessment, submit the following expository paper following APA style that includes the following:
Title page
Part 1: The final draft of your 1-page assessment of your chosen articles that addresses the following:
Describe the two articles you found and how they relate to your area of specialization in your program. (Minimum one paragraph per article.)
Compare and contrast the two articles and explain the differences you noticed between them. In your explanation, evaluate each article in terms of whether each article is a scholarly or non-scholarly source. For each article, explain why and how you made the determination.
