Assessment: 01.03 The Science of Psychology – Assignment Students complete one of three research options: 1.03 The Science of Psychology: Hey Wait! I Did Not Sign Up For Science!

SCIENTIFIC METHOD: Step 1: State the problem Step 2: Gather the information Step 3: Form a hypothesis Step 4: Test the hypothesis Step 5: Record and analyze the data Step 6: State the conclusion Step 7: Repeat the work

Naturalistic Observation “Let’s go to the mall,” Lois requested. "I don’t have any money,” replied Tashirra. “I don’t want to spend money, I want to people watch,” exclaimed Lois. "People watching” is called naturalistic observation and is a great way to observe people or animals in their environment. For example: Jane Goodall observed chimpanzees in their natural habitat in The Congo and she was able to record her findings without having to remove the animals from their environment. Survey Method “Which is better math or science?” This is best studied with a survey. A survey is a list of questions that asks a person their opinion (and let’s face it…everyone has one). This may not be the best method as far as being representative of the greater whole, but you can obtain the results quickly. Interview Method Interviewer: "Have you ever borrowed money from your brother?" Interviewee: "Yes." Interviewer: "Have you ever paid him back??” Interviewing a person is another way to gather information. The researcher can obtain personal information; however, the interviewee may not be completely honest as the questions are asked one-on- one. In the above three methods when the subjects have been tested or questioned, the scientist is able to compile the results. The results will either prove or disprove the scientist’s hypothesis. This is the point where we can say "four out of five…" because four out of the five subjects we asked answered this way. For example: if four out of the five subjects (students, ages 15 to 18) preferred math and one preferred science, we can report “four out of five students in 10th to 12th grade prefer math.” This was a tested hypothesis. However, if you think critically, you will want to question the statistics presented to you. As a critical thinker, we do not want to be gullible and believe what we read. At the same time, we do not want to be cynical and never believe anything we read either. Psychology Module 1 Study Guide

ASSESSMENT ACTIVITY:

Option A—Conduct a Survey My hypothesis was that second grade students prefer the color purple. My questions all referenced the color purple (in an object or symbol) compared to another color. The second grade students, ages 6-7, proved my hypothesis. Out of the 10 people I interviewed, 9 out of 10 preferred the color purple. Requirements: Rubric State your hypothesis. - 10 Report your questions and the tallied answers from the 10 people. - 20 If the survey proved or disproved your hypothesis and what your findings can tell the reader. - 20

Option B—Conduct a Naturalistic Observation My hypothesis was that men prefer to walk on the left side of women. I went to the mall with my mom and we grabbed a cup of coffee and sat in the food court where I could see the high traffic area of the mall. I observed many different couples in their 40’s. My hypothesis was disproved. I charted 20 couples that I felt looked like they were between the ages of 40–49. Of the couples I observed, 13 out of the 10 men walked on the right side of the woman with whom they were with.

EXAMPLE: HYPOTHESIS: I think more women drink out of straws then men.

PROCESS: I went to McDonalds and watched 15 men and 15 women who got drinks. RESULTS: Out of the 15 women, 10 of them put a straw in their drink. Out of the men, only 7 did. So, it does appear that my hypothesis was correct.

WHY? The reason I came up with this, is I ALWAYS use a straw and my husband never does. I think the reason this may be true is perhaps men view straws as "sissy" OR, perhaps women are more conscious of germs and may feel a straw is more protected than the cups are.

WHAT CAN THIS TELL THE READER: We may learn from this that perhaps there are gender difference in the thought process of men and women and why they may or may not chose to use a straw.

Rubric State your hypothesis. - 10 Report the age bracket of the people you observed (or their appeared age.) - 20 If the observation proved or disproved your hypothesis and what your findings can tell the reader. - 20 Psychology Module 1 Study Guide

Option C—Conduct an Interview My hypothesis was that juniors in high school are stressed out. I interviewed five students that are between the ages of 16–17. I asked each subject 10 questions and from their answers, I can conclude that my hypothesis was proven correct. Five out of the five students I interviewed answered that they are stressed out. Requirements: Rubric State your hypothesis. - 10 Report the age bracket of the people you observed (or their appeared age.) - 20 If the interviews proved or disproved your hypothesis and what your findings can tell the reader. - 20

Assessment: 01.04 Correlation – Exam 1.04 Correlation: Is It A Coincidence?

1.04 Voicethread: http://voicethread.com/#q.b863637.i0.k0

Rubric: 5 auto-grade questions (15 points), 1 teacher graded essay (15 points)

Students will receive one of the following essay questions: 1. Describe a positive correlation scenario from your own life. 2. Describe a negative correlation scenario from your own life.

Sample: 1. A positive correlation in my life would be that the more time I spend with my baby cousin, the more he loves to be with me.

2. A negative correlation in my life would be that the more time I spend asking my mom to stay out past curfew, the lesser my chances of staying out (as she gets annoyed with me).

+word PLUS +word = +correlation (more, higher, biggest, best, most, etc.) -word PLUS -word = +correlation (less, none, lower, fewest, slower, worse, etc.) -word PLUS +word = -correlation +word PLUS -word = -correlation

The more… the higher + The slower… the worse +

The more… the fewer - The less…. The greater -

Sample: Bob and Joe are sitting at Joe’s house when Bob eats the last cookie that Joe was saving. This is not the first time Bob has done this. Joe loves cookies and was waiting to eat the cookie until him mom got home from the store with some milk. The conversation takes place right as Bob is about to take his final bite of Joe’s cookie.

“Hey, man, why did you eat my cookie?” Joe asks Bob.

“’Cause I felt like it, dude!”, Bob replies

Joe responds, “You really are such a jerk, Bob!”

“What makes me such a jerk?”, Bob asks.

Joe responds, “I feel very disappointed when I don’t get to eat my cookies with my milk because milk and cookies are my favorite snack. I was saving my cookie until my mom got home with the milk, Bob.”

Bob replies, “Joe, I feel very controlled when you tell me that I cannot eat your cookies. I feel like since I am a guest at your home, I should be able to eat the cookies because I am hungry after school.”

Joe, looking very confused says, “You are correct, Bob, you are a guest at my home and next time I will offer you something to eat so that you don’t eat what I was going to eat.”

Bob nods his head and says, “That sounds great, Joe! Let’s practice that now!”

Joe replies, “Hey, Bob, would you like some rice cakes or some celery…that is really all that is in this fridge?”

The two boys begin to laugh!

“I am just glad I had the cookie when I had the opportunity.”, Bob exclaims!

CONFLICT STYLES: Avoidance: At all cost is one way people deal with conflict. That usually comes from the attitude that conflict isn’t nice. That people won’t like you if you disagree with them. Avoidance can be pretending the problem doesn’t exist. Or there is the silent treatment.

And there is the style where you just agree with someone even if you don’t. Then there is the totally opposite style where people think the only way to deal with conflict is to fight. Psychology Module 1 Study Guide Confrontation: The whole idea behind confrontation is, each side wants to prove that they’re right. When the response to conflict is confrontation, even the smallest incident can grow into a full on battle. You can tell that this fight probably isn’t over yet. Confrontation escalates conflict whenever it happens. Whether it is between people, between gangs or between countries, but there are some people who respond to conflict in a completely different way. For these people conflict isn’t something you have to win, or something that’s bad. It’s something to solve.

Problem Solving: Means not getting into the I’m right, your wrong game. It means understanding what each side needs and finding some common ground that each side can agree to.

COMMUNICATION STYLES Aggressive communicators tend to be poor listeners, believe that others "should do" as do they, are domineering, and foster resistance from the person with whom they are communicating.

Passive communicators do not express their true feelings, are agreeable, and give up on his or her thoughts and feelings.

Assertive communicators believe in themselves and others, feel others listen to him or her, and listen to others. Aggressive and passive communicators have much to learn from the assertive communicator.

Assessment: 01.07 Subfields in Psychology Discussion-Based Assessment 1.07 Subfields Of Psychology: What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up?

SUBFIELDS OF PSYCHOLOGY

School Psychology School psychologists work with students in kindergarten to 12th grade to assist in their academic and psychological success. Most of their time is spent performing psychological tests to assist with learning and behavior problems. They work closely with parents, teachers, and guidance counselors in the school to ensure the success of students. In order to become a school psychologist you need to earn a specialist degree. A specialist degree is one step above the master’s level and one step below the doctorate level.

Clinical Psychology Clinical psychologists are what most people think of when you say the word "psychologist." They listen to people’s problems either individually, in couples, or as a family. They also deal with a wide range of mental disorders from anxiety to severe psychotic. However, clinical psychologists are not able to prescribe medication for their patients. In order to be a clinical psychologist, you will need to earn your doctorate degree. Clinical psychologists can work in private practice or in community mental health facilities.

Mental Health Counselor The mental health counselor, like the clinical psychologist, listens to people’s problems either individually, as a couple, or family. Mental health counselors also cannot prescribe medication for their patients. Mental health counselors can work in private practice or in a community mental health setting. In order to become a mental health counselor, you would need a master’s level degree.

Psychiatrist A psychiatrist is a medical doctor that specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental illness. They use therapy coupled with psychotropic medication to help treat their patients. Unlike the clinical psychologist, a pyschiatrist is able to prescribe medication as necessary. To become a psychiatrist, you will need to go to medical school and do a residency in a hospital. Psychiatrists work in private practice or in community mental health facilities.

Sports-Exercise Psychology The sports-exercise psychologist has two goals. The first is to understand the effect of psychological reasons on physical performance. For example, "How does the field goal kicker’s anxiety affect the accuracy of his kick?" The second goal is to evaluate the effects of a person’s physical activity on their psychological development. For example, "Does the neurotransmitter activity for depression lessen when a person is physically active?" This degree can be a master’s level or a doctorate. Many people who are in this field work with colleges and schools.

Industrial-Organizational (I/O) Psychology Industrial-organization psychology applies the psychological principles and research methods in the ordinary workplace. These individuals are hired by managers and owners to train their employees for the “right” position within their organization. You can obtain a position as an (I/O) with a bachelor’s degree. In addition, there are careers for those with master’s and doctorate levels of education as well.
