Please complete the Famous Contributors and experiments review sheet. Due to the time constraints we will face during the school year, it is necessary that we get a head start on the material most important to the course. All of these contributors are an important part of the history of psychology and deserve your best work. This is a 300 point research project that will significantly impact your first quarter grade. Please turn this in handwritten and in your own words. No word processed copies will be accepted. Please make sure that your work is neat and legible. Do not include any biographical information, just the facts and details of the experiment or contribution. There are many quality websites available to help you complete this assignment (Wikipedia being one such website). Please be thorough in summarizing these contributors and experiments as they are deserving of your best work. This assignment is due the first day of class in August. Have a great summer, pace yourself, do your best work. The first one will be done for you as an example. • Hawthorn effect- Refers to the simple fact that workers became more productive when they are aware that they are being studied. The original experiment was conducted between 1924 and 1932 and was meant to measure the increase of production due to increase in lighting. The original experiment lasted from 1927-1932 and measured the productivity of two women working in the relay assembly section of the Western Electric Factory outside Chicago. It turned out that any increase in productivity was actually due to attention being paid to them by the experimenters. Another variation of the productivity experiment was done in 1931-1932 where Elton Mayo and W Lloyd Warner attempted to increase productivity by offering pay incentives that rewarded the workers for each part that they produced. The productivity actually dropped because the workers feared the company would decrease the base rate if production increased. The workers formed informal work groups or “cliques” who formed informal rules of behavior and mechanisms to enforce them. In both of the studies above, confounding or hidden variables affected the results of the experiment. • Roger Sperry- the first to propose” split brain surgery” to help epileptic patients. • Jean Piaget-Proposed four stages of cognitive development. Summarize all. • Erik Erikson-Proposed eight stages of social development. Summarize all. • Lawrence Kohlberg- Proposed three stages of moral development. Summarize all three. What were some criticisms of his theory? • Konrad Lorentz- Imprinting studies. Showed how baby animals would follow the first object they saw after birth. Survival mechanism • Jerome Kagen- studies to indicate that inborn temperament may explain many behaviors. • Harry Harlow- Showed the importance of physical touch over nourishment in infant monkeys (contact comfort). • Mary Ainsworth-secure infants have good bonds with mothers. Insecure infants don’t. • Eleanor Gibson- “visual cliff” experiment. Depth perception • Hubel and Weisel-Feature detectors/visual processing • Earnest Hilgard-the “hidden observer” in hypnosis • Ivan Pavlov-Classical conditioning experiments.

  • The Lived Economics of Love and a Spirituality for Every Day: Wealth Inequality, Anthropology, and Motivational Theory After Harlow’S Monkeys
    The Lived Economics of Love and a Spirituality for Every Day: Wealth Inequality, Anthropology, and Motivational Theory after Harlow’s Monkeys Christian Early Introduction The current inequality of wealth is at an all-time high, and the best estimates indicate that inequality will only increase in future. This is true not only in North America but globally as well. A recent Global Wealth Report states that less than one percent of the world’s adult population own just below forty percent of global household wealth.1 In America, the top quintile own eighty-four percent of the country’s wealth, while the lower two quintiles combined own less than one percent of it.2 What are we to make of the widening gap between rich and poor? What, if anything, does it say about who we are as human beings? In The Heart of L’Arche: A Spirituality for Every Day, Jean Vanier proposes a spirituality centered on what he calls “the mystery of the poor.”3 All human beings carry a burden of brokenness and deep needs, he argues, which cries out for healing through friendship. The real difference between the rich and the poor, aside from their financial status which is in plain sight, is that the rich are capable of hiding their brokenness from others and from themselves. It is difficult for them to own their own (true) poverty. The poor, by contrast, cannot hide it; they know too well that they are trapped in a broken self-image and stand in need of others. The acknowledgment of their situation—their inability to hide their predicament from themselves—is their gift.

  • School Violence Irvin Sam Schonfeld
    09-Kelloway-4838.qxd 12/19/2005 3:53 PM Page 169 9 School Violence Irvin Sam Schonfeld book on workplace violence requires a chapter on school violence. A Schools are where teachers and children work. One of the goals of the National Educational Goals Panel (2000), an independent agency of the executive branch of the federal government, is the following: Every local educational agency will develop and implement a policy to ensure that all schools are free of violence and the unauthorized presence of weapons. The goal applies to the safety of students, faculty, and staff. The purpose of this chapter is threefold. First, the chapter summarizes what is known about the prevalence of violence and weapons in U.S. schools. Other prob- lematic behaviors that plague schools, including verbally assaultive behavior and drug use, are not addressed. Second, the chapter examines theories that bear on school violence and the empirical evidence linked to those theories. Third, the chapter looks at attempts to prevent school violence and, conse- quently, the suffering school violence causes. Prevalence of Violence __________________________________ and Weapons in the Schools Before reviewing the literature on the prevalence of violence and weapons in schools (in this section I limit prevalence findings to the 1990s and later), it Author’s Note: I thank Pearl Knopf Schonfeld for her editorial suggestions and Mark Davies and Lynn Mollick for comments on specific sections of the chapter. 169 09-Kelloway-4838.qxd 12/19/2005 3:53 PM Page 170 170 SOURCES AND FORMS OF WORKPLACE VIOLENCE is important to note a number of obstacles to accurately ascertaining the occurrence of violence.

  • Understanding Aggression Motivation: the Role of Developmental, Affect and Socio- Cognitive Factors in Offenders
    UNDERSTANDING AGGRESSION MOTIVATION: THE ROLE OF DEVELOPMENTAL, AFFECT AND SOCIO- COGNITIVE FACTORS IN OFFENDERS by Ioan M Ohlsson A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire January 2016 i STUDENT DECLARATION Material submitted for another award I declare that no material contained in this thesis has been used in any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work. Signature of Candidate Type of Award Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) School School of Psychology Word Count: 80,014 ii ABSTRACT This PhD aimed to understand the constructs of aggression motivation and inhibition among prisoners. The research explored the role of developmental, affect, personality and socio- cognitive factors in aggression, investigating how these factors contributed to motives and inhibitors. This addressed several gaps in our knowledge and understanding of these factors among prisoners. In doing so, it contributed to the proposal of an empirically informed developmental model of aggression motivation and inhibition for prisoners, a model potentially capable of accounting for the theoretical and clinical limitations of existing explanatory models. Study one involved 206 adult men from a medium secure prison. This study specifically examined the role of aggression (using the Aggression Motivation Questionnaire, AMQ; Ireland, 2007) and offence motivation (with the Offence Motivation Questionnaire, OMQ; Gudjonsson & Sigurdsson, 2004) and affect (using the Multidimensional Anger Inventory, MAI; Sigel, 1989). Contrary to predictions, aggression motivation extended beyond the traditional reactive versus proactive distinction, with four core motivations identified. Further challenging the previous dichotomous distinction were findings that affect was related to all motivations and not just reactive aggression.

  • A Dynamic Systems Model of Infant Attachment Gregory T
    196 IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON AUTONOMOUS MENTAL DEVELOPMENT, VOL. 1, NO. 3, OCTOBER 2009 A Dynamic Systems Model of Infant Attachment Gregory T. Stevens and Jun Zhang Abstract—Attachment, or the emotional tie between an infant arousal activity levels to changes in attachment and exploration and its primary caregiver, has been modeled as a homeostatic behaviors over time (see, e.g., [52], [66], [94], and [77]), and . process by Bowlby’s (Attachment and Loss, 1969; Anxiety and These studies suggest the possibility of homeostatic regulation Depression, 1973; Loss: Sadness and Depression, 1980). Evidence from neurophysiology has grounded such mechanism of infant models based on interactive neurochemical systems, where attachment to the dynamic interplay between an opioid-based attachment dynamics (i.e., changes in attachment behaviors proximity-seeking mechanism and an NE-based arousal system over time in response to characteristics of the environment and that are regulated by external stimuli (interaction with primary caregiving) emerge from innate mechanisms of neurophysio- caregiver and the environment). Here, we model such attachment mechanism and its dynamic regulation by a coupled system of logical regulation. Moving neurophysiological regulation to ordinary differential equations. We simulated the characteristic center stage allows data from neurophysiological studies of patterns of infant behaviors in the Strange Situation procedure, humans and primates to both constrain and inform, at least a common instrument for assessing the quality of attachment heuristically, theories and models of attachment dynamics. outcomes (“types”) for infants at about one year of age. We also According to this view, attachment can be seen simply as one manipulated the parameters of our model to account for neu- rochemical adaptation, and to allow for caregiver style (such as of many diverse and interlocking mechanisms of physiological responsiveness and other factors) and temperamental factor (such regulation (e.g., [60], [63], [78], and [79]).

  • The Origins of Attachment Theory: John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth
    Copyright 1992 by the American Psychological Association, Inc. Developmental Psychology 1992, \fol. 28, No. 5,759-775 The Origins of Attachment Theory: John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth Inge Bretherton Department of Child and Family Studies University of Wisconsin—Madison Attachment theory is based on the joint work of John Bowlby (1907-1991) and Mary Salter Ains- worth (1913- ). Its developmental history begins in the 1930s, with Bowlby's growing interest in the link between maternal loss or deprivation and later personality development and with Ainsworth's interest in security theory. Although Bowlby's and Ainsworth's collaboration began in 1950, it entered its most creative phase much later, after Bowlby had formulated an initial blueprint of attachment theory, drawing on ethology, control systems theory, and psychoanalytic thinking, and after Ainsworth had visited Uganda, where she conducted the first empirical study of infant- mother attachment patterns. This article summarizes Bowlby's and Ainsworth's separate and joint contributions to attachment theory but also touches on other theorists and researchers whose work influenced them or was influenced by them. The article then highlights some of the major new fronts along which attachment theory is currently advancing. The article ends with some specula- tions on the future potential of the theory. Attachment theory is the joint work of John Bowlby and So long as we trace the development from its final outcome back- Mary Ainsworth (Ainsworth & Bowlby, 1991). Drawing on con- wards, the chain of events appears continuous, and we feel we have gained an insight which is completely satisfactory or even exhaus- cepts from ethology, cybernetics, information processing, devel- tive.

Marino Pérez Alvarez Universidad de Oviedo Se toma el treinta aniversario de la muerte de Skinner como ocasión para visualizar su presencia en la psicología actual y recordar algunas de sus mayores aportaciones. En general, se puede decir que Skinner brilla por su ausencia según abundan temas skinnerianos sin apenas citarlo y sin embargo se echa en falta su presencia según sus aportaciones resolverían algunos importantes problemas de la psicología como ciencia. Temas skinnerianos sin apenas Skinner son las adicciones al juego y las máquinas, el recién redescubierto test proyectivo auditivo (ruido blanco), la economía conductual y el nuevo inconsciente basado en el control ambiental. Aportaciones fundamentales de Skinner como el moldeamiento de la conducta, la conducta operante como unidad funcional y la selección por las consecuencias siguen perentorias para la psicología actual en su persistente deriva dualista, neurocéntrica y esencialista.

  • Attachment Theory and Research: Overview with Suggested Applications to Child Custody
    INVITED MONOGRAPH ATTACHMENT THEORY AND RESEARCH: OVERVIEW WITH SUGGESTED APPLICATIONS TO CHILD CUSTODY Mary Main, Erik Hesse, and Siegfried Hesse* The term “attachment” is now in common usage and, as the readers of this Special Issue are aware, is referenced in a rapidly increasing variety of contexts involving child custody (McIntosh & Chisholm, 2008). The aim of this article is to provide judges, lawyers, mediators and mental health professionals involved in custody assessment with an overview of the history of the field of attachment and its principal measures, together with a clear description of what the term “attachment” does—and does not—mean to attachment researchers and theoreticians. Implications for normative separations that do not involve custody- related assessment or the intervention of courts or mediators are also considered. With respect to contested custody cases, we consider the use of standardized attachment measures, and note that sufficient validation for most such measures in clinical contexts is still developing. We describe three measures taken from the research literature (the Strange Situation procedure, the Attachment Q-sort and theAdultAttachment Interview), each subjected to meta-analyses and widely regarded as “gold standard” methods in research.These three methods come closest at this point in time to meeting criteria for providing “scientific evidence” regarding an individual’s current attachment status. Limitations on widespread use include the need for substantiating meta-analyses on father-child relationships, and further validation across a wider spread of children’s ages. We are confident that these restrictions can be solved by new research. In the interim, we argue that increased familiarity with the above measures will assist custody evaluators both in standardizing their assessment procedures and their capacity to gain more from the observational data available to them.

Additionally, my altruistic values provide me with a strong sense of duty to do the right thing at the same time that I believe it is my responsibility to help others, especially because I have been afforded the luxury of a college education although many others do not share this privilege. Under those circumstances, I wanted to speak on the issue of inequal representation of diverse identities, with special attention to the branches of science which historically refused to give due credit to individuals other than straight, white men.
