1.A psychology instructor surveys three sections of a first-year psychology course totaling 1000 students. The psychology instructor finds that SAT scores and the amount of money the students were currently carrying had a correlation of r=.07 with a p-value of 0.001. The psychology instructor claims the results were statistically significant but were not practically significant. Explain the difference between these two concepts using the results from the psychology instructor’s survey.

2. A researcher examined the relationship between violent video games and bullying. She found that adolescents who played more violent video games exhibited more bullying behavior. The researcher would like to say that the violent video games caused this increase in behavior. Is this appropriate based on the current information and if not, what other step(s) would the researcher need to take for this statement to be plausible?

3. Regarding mixed methods research, some theorists support a position of pragmatism. Do you agree or disagree with this viewpoint? Be sure to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of mixed methods research in your answer.

4. Use the following table to interpret the relationship between the variables showing the strongest relationship

5.Compare and contrast the researcher’s role in qualitative and quantitative research. Be sure to include (1) philosophical differences that drive these differences and (2) differences in data types.

The social problem/issue  (Poverty)

Identify a social problem/issue you would like to address.

Describe the context—historical and/or contemporary—of society’s perception and approach to this social problem/issue.

The policy

• Identify a specific policy that addresses the selected social problem/issue.
• Describe the historical context of the policy.
• Briefly provide enough detail about the social, economic, and political circumstances that inspired action.

Include reputable references/resources to support current updates, implementation, and/or changes related to the policy.

The population and programs

Identify the population served by the policy.

• What qualifies a client for inclusion in the policy?
• What successful or widely accepted programs have come out of the policy?

In practice

• What role(s) do social workers play in the success of the program?
• Does the policy work in practice as intended? Why or why not?

Does the policy achieve its goals?    

Social change

Does the policy contribute to social justice? How? If not, explain how or why it does not contribute to social justice.

• Identify opportunities for improvement in the policy.
• Explain how you would go about improving the policy.
• Sources

You must reference a minimum of eight scholarly references, which may include electronic government documents and reputable websites.

Your reference list should appear on a separate page, and it is not included in the 5- to 8-page requirement.

Complete an essay reflecting upon the significance that the learning activities for this week have had on your personal, professional, intellectual, or spiritual growth.

Description

Still Lives have been used for centuries by painters from the novice to the advance as a way to hone the connection between their mind, their eye, their arms and the canvas in front of them. As this will be our first time working with Cinema4D, taking inspiration from the world around us makes the most sense.  

Specs

• There are no hard specs for this assignment as we will not be animating anything just yet.

Design Requirements

• Only requirement is that the shape of the object should be more complex than just a primitive 
  • (i.e  do not select a ball as your object of choice) 

Instructions

1. Find an object in your living space that you’d like to 3D model. Because we won’t be creating any textures, the shape of the object should be complex! Not how it’s colored or painted.
   • Good examples include like a teddy bear, a rubber ducky or a game controller
2. Set it in front of yourself and take a good look at it.
   • Think about how you can use the primitives within C4D to build out this object out. 
   • Open up Cinema4D and look at the primitive objects list just in case!
3. After building a mental model in your head of how the object can be built, proceed to build it using Cinema4D! 

Watch the attached segment of the film “Babies” and analyze the film “Babies” from a scientific, observational lens. Please focus on the babies’ behaviors and their interactions with their environments. Below are some prompts to guide your response and organize these observations, which should be no more than one page (1′ margins, 11pt Times New Roman, single spaced). Please pick one or two of the following questions to respond to: 

-What kinds of information are the babies paying attention to and have access to?

-How do babies explore their environment differently in different cultures? In what ways does that change with age?

-How is the caregiving structure and social environment different for these babies and what are the effects of this on their behavior?

-What is most similar across cultures about infant behavior and most different between cultures about the babies’ lives?

-Pick one type of infant behavior for an in-depth comparison across the different families? (e.g., eating, playing, sleeping)

PLEASE INCLUDE references to one or two of the 7 themes of DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY LIKE:

1. Nature vs Nurture

2. The Active Child 

3. Continuity vs Discontinuity

4. Mechanism of Change

5. sociocultural context (preferably reference this one since we compare different babies from diff environmental settings)

6. Individual differences 

7. Research and child welfare.
