  • Title: Implementing a Daily Gratitude Practice for Increased Happiness: An Implementation Plan and Evaluation

    Purpose: The content in this class can and should be applicable in your everyday life. The goal of this assignment is to use research on happiness as well as research on behavior change to implement a research-backed practice in the service of increasing your happiness.
    Task: Your task is to create an implementation plan around a specific happiness practice and to then evaluate the success of your implementation.
    Three double-spaced pages is a good rule of thumb for the length of this paper; shorter is fine if you answered all the questions. If your paper is longer than 4 pages please consolidate.
    Provide a 1-paragraph summary of the article you based your practice on, remembering to use correct APA-style in-text citationsLinks to an external site. (do not include the article or journal title) and your own words (note that cutting and pasting from the article constitutes plagiarism even if you cite the article). If the article includes multiple studies, just answer these questions for the study that is most relevant to your plan.
    Who are the participants in this study?
    What are the conceptual independent and dependent variables in the study? How are they operationalized?
    What were the key findings of the research
    Describe your specific plan:
    What will you do? (for example, if your plan is to exercise, describe the type of exercise and the amount of time)
    When will you do it? (describe the frequency and the time of day)
    Where will you do it?
    Will you do this with anyone else? (things like exercise can benefit from a buddy; feel free to skip this question if your goal is sleep)
    What are three things that could get in your way or throw you off track? Think about both internal (for example, difficulty getting up early) and external (for example, bad weather) obstacles.
    Now that you’ve noted some of the obstacles you could encounter, begin to plan for how you’ll navigate them, should they occur. Think of this as an If/Then exercise: If _____, then _____. For each obstacle, write down either
    a proactive strategy (what you’ll do to avoid the obstacle), or
    a reactive strategy (what you’ll do when you find yourself right in the middle of the obstacle)
    What does success look like for you (doing the behavior a certain percentage of the time, seeing a change in your happiness scale score, seeing someone else smile, etc.)? Make sure to include something measurable and quantifiable.

  • Cultural Humility in the Helping Profession: Understanding Personal Values and Unconscious Biases Strategies for Recognizing and Mitigating Unconscious Bias in Interactions with Others

    Culturally competent helping professionals are encouraged to go beyond committing to increasing culturally specific knowledge and skills. While developing relevant skills and knowledge is essential to competent practice and can help mitigate biases, at times, unconscious biases can be tenacious and resistant to increases in cognitive knowledge. Cultural humility includes adopting attitudes and behaviors that can help to mitigate the impact of unconscious biases that can impede the helper’s ability to be effective with diverse clients. For this assignment, you will write a two- to three-page paper in which you apply knowledge gained from your readings and the completion of the assigned MindTap learning activities.
    To successfully complete this assignment, organize your paper in the following manner using each of the section headings provided below in the parentheses in boldface.
    Section 1 (Introduction)
    Compose a one-paragraph introduction to your paper relevant to the main topic of cultural humility in the counseling or a related helping profession.
    Section 2 (Ethical Concerns)
    Based on the assigned readings, include a one-paragraph summary of ethical concerns associated with imposing helper values. Do an online search to identify the ethics code for a profession you are considering in the helping profession (e.g., American Counseling Association Code of Ethics, American Psychological Association Code of Ethics, American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy Code of Ethics, Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts, National Association of Social Workers Code of Ethics). If you are not considering a career in a helping profession, select any one of the ethics codes listed above. In your second paragraph, connect the ethical concerns you summarized in the first paragraph to specific content in the ethics code you selected. Include APA-formatted in-text citations and references from the assignment readings and the professional ethics code you selected.
    Section 3 (Know Your Values)
    Summarize what you learned from Chapter 3 Video Activity: Know Your Values and Chapter 3 Helper Studio: Know Your Values. Include the specific feedback you received on the video you uploaded into the Helper Studio. Based on the feedback received by participating in these activities, identity at least two specific professional or personal growth opportunities for you to improve your ability to work effectively with diverse clients. In this section of your paper, it is appropriate to use 1st person voice.
    Section 4 (Cultural Tunnel Vision)
    Summarize what you learned from Chapter 4 Case Study: Cultural Tunnel Vision and the Personal Social Background Interaction Profile. Based on any feedback received by participating in these activities, and information discussed in your textbook and other assigned readings, include any insights you gained about your personal worldview and how your perspectives and preferences might impact clients or other individuals you work with in a helper role. Based on the descriptions in the article, Loosening Categorical Thinking: Extending the Terrain of Theory and Research on Demographic Identities in Organization Download Loosening Categorical Thinking: Extending the Terrain of Theory and Research on Demographic Identities in Organizations, consider whether your identity is more consistent with a “normative” or one of the “nonnormative” categories. Discuss how your identity might impact your interactions with clients who identify differently. Connect your conclusions to the assigned reading and support your points with relevant information from the textbook and other scholarly sources including APA-formatted in-text citations and references. In this section of your paper, it is appropriate to use 1st person voice. 
    Section 5 (Conclusions)
    Compose a one-paragraph conclusion.  In your conclusion, summarize key points connecting concepts related to cultural humility with the topics of personal values and conscious and unconscious bias. Identify at least two strategies to which you can commit to recognize and mitigate the impact of unconscious bias in your interactions with others. In this section of your paper, it is appropriate to use 1st person voice.

  • The Impact of Social Media on Identity Formation and Conflict Resolution

    Posts Should Be:
    1. At least 100 words in length.
    2. Informed by the material; “out of the sky opinion” posts will not receive credit. That is, you MUST reference the relevant course material in your personal comment. 3. Thoughtful. Superficial statements will not receive credit.
    4. Polite and respectful of others; I CANNOT emphasize this enough. When we are in an online format it becomes easier to violate important rules of etiquette. Please be mindful of this. You should address ONE of the following questions:
    1. Social media provides us with infinite opportunities to form social identities and to argue with others about issues related to our social identities. Is it possible that some of these social media conflicts distract us, divide us, then weaken our solidarity making us vulnerable to exploitation by others? If so, who might be profiting from our weakness? 2. Unlike Democrats and Independents, in 2003 Republicans tended to support the invasion of Iraq regardless of their level of education. What factors (discussed in our class) may have suppressed the willingness of highly educated Republicans to question the plan? 3. In the video on propaganda and the (1991) Gulf War, the first Bush Administration was described as perfecting media control and propaganda. What procedures did they use to ensure that journalists could not learn the truth? What procedures did General Norman Schwarzkopf use to convince Americans that the military was destroying Iraqi weapons effectively and precisely? 4. Quote of the Week: “People will use their religion to justify virtually anything. People are able to justify immense cruelty and say that it is something that is sanctioned by their faith.” Desmond Tutu (1931 – 2021); South African Bishop and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.
    If we replace the words “religion” and “faith” with the words “values” and “beliefs”, would we find the same thing? That is, have you observed people aggress toward others and justify it by claiming that they are “upholding their values and beliefs”? What psychological process (or processes) might lead people to justify their own cruelty in this manner? How might the anonymity and publicity provided by the internet increase the likelihood of “self-righteous aggression”?
