• Please include information and topics from the chapter readings to justify your explanation and reasoning.

Include a title page and 3-5 references.

There are 3 essays below that need to be done. I have attached the chapters of the textbook that the answers are in. Please reference the textbook as well as any other sources. No plargism. They need to be lengthy.

Q 1: Define psychology. How is it different from intuition or common sense? ( See Ch 1, the Introduction and Sec 1.1).

Q. 2: Define and provide your own example of the following: a) a positive correlation, and b) a negative correlation. Why are correlations important to psychology? What are the problems with correlations? (See Ch 2, Sec 2.2)

Q. 3: Can science answer question A or question B below? If so, briefly explain why or why the question is not a good candidate for scientific inquiry. Address both questions. (Note: Do not try to answer the question itself, just whether or not it could be answered through scientific inquiry.) If the question can be studied scientifically, identify what method might be used to study it, and identify the independent and dependent variables. (See Ch 2, Sec 2.1)

1. Does jogging lead to a positive mental attitude?

2. Will people be more moral in the year 2020 than they are now?

Course Project: Annotated Bibliography (Part I, Two Annotations required)

Annotated Bibliography Assignment:

This week (Part I) you are to create a complete Annotated Bibliography for 2 academic scholarly sources, which include your introduction and thesis, publication details, and the annotation (see below for examples of each component).  In week 4, you will complete this process for 3 additional sources.  A total of 5 academic-scholarly sources are required for completion of your final research project.

Scholarship means that

the author has a Ph.D. or other terminal degree,

the work appears in a multi-volume, peer-reviewed journal,

and has ample references at the end.

Good annotations

capture publication details,

offer a student introduction and thesis, and

a detailed reading of the source, covering the following:

Offers the student’s introduction and thesis to the best extent s/he knows it at this point in time,

Summarizes key points, and

identifies key terms (using quotation marks, and citing a page in parentheses);

Locates controversies or “problems” raised by the articles;

States whether the student agrees or disagrees and gives reasons;

Locates one or two quotations to be used in the final research project; and

Evaluates the ways in which this article is important and has helped the student to focus his/her understanding.

Example Introduction/Thesis to a Student Paper:

It never ceases to amaze me that we pay so little attention to the greatest bulk of our intelligence—that is, the quality of thinking that helps us adapt, deal with stress, love, and live lives of fulfillment. Aristotle argued that educating the mind and not the heart is no education at all. For decades, educators have focused on cognitive skills because they are testable and, therefore, metrics can be applied to them. This kind of education, testing, and then metrically interpreting results has governed American education for decades. And the results have been losses of creativity, imagination, courtesy, civic interest, and the ability to invent businesses that serve people and advance us as a society. Although measurable skills are important, they are not exclusively important, and in fact lose value when separated from an education in the heart, the spirit, and the abstract qualities that make students fully human and excellent participants in a healthy society.

Example Publication Detail Capture:

Mezirow, J. (2012). Transformative learning as discourse. International Journal of Business & Public Administration.

.

Annotation Example:

In this article, Mezirow makes a distinction between “instrumental” and “communicative” learning. “Instrumental learning” refers to those processes which measure and gage learning, such as tests, grades, comments, quizzes, attendance records and the like. “Communicative learning,” on the other hand, refers to understanding created over time between individuals in what Mezirow calls “critical-dialectical-discourse,” (92) which is a fancy way of saying, important conversation between 2 or more speakers. Another key idea Mezirow discusses is “transformative learning,” (94) which changes the mind, the heart, the values and beliefs of people so that they may act better in the world. Mezirow argues that “hungry, desperate, homeless, sick, destitute, and intimidated people obviously cannot participate fully and freely in discourse” (92). On the one hand, he is right: there are some people who cannot fully engage because their crisis is so long and deep, they are prevented. But, I don’t think Mezirow should make the blanket assumption that everyone in unfortunate circumstances is incapable of entering the discourse meaningfully. One thing is certain: if we gave as much attention to the non-instrumental forms of intelligence–like goodness, compassion, forgiveness, wonder, self-motivation, creativity, humor, love, and other non-measured forms of intelligence in our school curriculums, we’d see better people, actors in the world, and interested investigators than we currently have graduating high school.

Write a 1000-word (minimum) paper, using APA standards, that addresses the following questions:

Families have changed greatly over the past 60 years, and they continue to become more diverse.
