Discussion Questions
Submit your response to the question to the appropriate Discussion Area by the due date assigned. Through the end of the module, comment on the responses of others.
You will be attempting two discussion questions in this module worth 28 points each.
Discussion Question 1ImageryDescribe how you have used imagery as an athlete and/or for what purposes you have taught imagery as a coach to athletes. How are the ways you have used imagery similar or different to the ways athletes typically use imagery as presented in this module?
Based on your experiences, what do you believe is the most effective way to use imagery to enhance sport performance?Evaluation Criteria for Discussion Question Response:Described how you have used imagery as an athlete and/or coach.
[4 points]
Compared and contrasted the ways you have used imagery with the ways presented in the module.
[4 points]
Described the most effective way to use imagery substantiated with examples from personal/professional experience.
[8 points]Discussion Question 2Mental Rehearsal of Sports Skills
The research on imagery has shown that the mental rehearsal of sport skills has a small but significant effect on the actual performance of the skills. In other words, when research participants imagine performing a sport skill, they typically perform the skill better than those research participants that do not.
However, Moran (2004) pointed out that relatively few of these studies have used athletes as participants.
Most of the studies have been laboratory vs. field experiments or have used simple skills (such as dart throwing) vs. complex skills (such as golf swing), and the psychological mechanisms underlying the positive effects of imagery have not been adequately explained.
What conclusions do you draw about the effectiveness of imagery in improving the learning and performance of sport skills from comparing the literature findings with your experience?
What would you recommend to create a valid study about mental rehearsal?
Evaluation Criteria for Discussion Question Response:
Described conclusions. Discussed your conclusion about the effectiveness of imagery in improving the learning and performance of sports skills.
[8 points]Recommended how the effectiveness of mental rehearsal might be more effectively studied.

Be sure to specifically address the different occupations within psychology that are regulated by state licensure and certification; the specific requirements for a master’s and doctoral level clinician; your intended emphasis area, as well as what led you to become interested in this area; any anticipated potential career opportunities and ultimate goal for your degree. Address your own strengths and weaknesses at this time and how you plan to enhance your areas of strength and address any areas of weakness. Continuing your professional development is a vital component for maintaining your skill level and growing your knowledge base. Techniques widely utilized include multiple association memberships, advanced/continuing education courses, and association with and in both student and professional resource groups. Identify and discuss two professional membership organizations you can join and explain why each would be beneficial to your growth as a psychology professional. Then, identify and discuss one potential resource for you to utilize as a networking element and explain the steps you plan to take to realize the opportunity so presented.

Child-rearing presents as a set of culturally bound practices that can complement or conflict with research and health promotional practices.

/in /by

Child-rearing presents as a set of culturally bound practices that can complement or conflict with research and health promotional practices. The practice of co-sleeping and the risk reduction practices for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) have become conflictual in recent years. In preparation for this discussion, review Mother-Baby Behavioral Sleep Laboratory and SIDS and Other Sleep-Related Infant Deaths: Expansion of Recommendations for a Safe Infant Sleeping Environment for information on each side of this argument. You may locate resources on this topic on your own.
In your initial post for this discussion, formulate a research-supported position on co-sleeping regarding risks versus benefits. Should co-sleeping be discouraged? Are there specific developmental advantages supported by research for co-sleeping? What are the cultural considerations for co-sleeping practices? Are the risks for co-sleeping (either social, emotional, or health-related) significantly supported by research to take a position against co-sleeping? Consider what you would advise as a professional in the promotion of optimal development.

Compose a post of one to two paragraphs. Reference scholarly or peer-reviewed sources to support your discussion points, as appropriate (using proper citation methods for your discipline)

(Charles Whitman – The Killing of America)

/in /by

 

Module 2 Discussion Assignment
Details Chapter 2
The Case of Charles Whitman
Watch the video on Charles Whitman before responding to discussion question.
(Charles Whitman – The Killing of America) (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hA4M04prVK8
As a child and young man, Charles Whitman was kind, quiet, and known by all as a “good boy” serving as both an altar boy and an Eagle Scout. As a student at the University of Texas, however, he began to experience severe headaches, assaulted his wife, and became involved in numerous fights. He confided to his psychiatrist that he was fighting the urge toward even more extreme violent behavior. He lost the fight. Climbing to the top of the campus observation tower with a high-powered rifle, he shot wildly at his fellow students, ultimately killing 14 people and wounding more than 20 before the police finally killed him. An autopsy on Whitman’s body revealed a large tumor pressing against his amygdala.
1. Recognizing that this area of the brain is known to regulate aggressive behaviors in animals (the research is less clear for humans), should Whitman be held fully responsible for his actions? Why or why not?
2. If Whitman had lived, would you have been in favor of capital punishment or life imprisonment for his crimes?
3. Imagine that scientists were able to identify specific genes linked to serious criminal behavior and it was possible to remove or redesign these genes. Are you in favor of this type of gene manipulation? Why or why not?
