Prosocial Behavior
Much of what we tend to focus on when we study social psychology are topics that often have a negative connotation such as conformity, prejudice, aggression or obedience. A huge component of the study of social psychology; however, focuses on prosocial behavior – behaviors that focus on compassion and helping others. For this activity, you will focus on this more uplifting aspect of social psychology. Topics that fall under the area of prosocial behavior include altruism, helping, bystander intervention, empathy, and compassion, among others.
For this exercise, pick one day and seek to structure your thoughts and behaviors entirely around helping others. With each interaction or action you take, pause to think and ask yourself “is there a way I might help another here?” Hold a door for someone, offer your seat, share a smile, give a sincere compliment, show empathy to another, attempt to be more patient or understanding, etc. Your efforts should be in social settings that involve interactions with others (rather than something such as donating to a charity for instance). The goal is to be as thoughtfully prosocial in your interactions throughout the day as possible.
At the beginning of the day, jot down your general mood, feelings, attitude, etc.
Then throughout the day, whenever possible, carry a small notebook with you or make notes in an app on your phone to jot down meaningful encounters or experiences as you attempt to engage in prosocial behaviors.
At the end of the day, again reflect and take notes on how you feel, your general mood, feelings and attitudes, etc.
PLEASE NOTE: Â If you are unable to engage in prosocial behavior outside of your home due to COVID-19 restrictions/precautions, you are encouraged to engage in such behaviors with your family/people with whom you are sheltering. Â You may also engage in prosocial behavior with others virtually or through other means (e.g., through video calls, emails, etc…). Â This assignment will be more meaningful if you are able to engage in-person with acquaintances or strangers, but you can still find ways to make a significant difference to others even if quarantined or sheltering in place.

solved Scenario: You are a recently hired teacher in a new
/in /by adminScenario:
You are a recently hired teacher in a new preschool that serves a diverse population. During the first month on the job, you observe that a number of the children are overweight. You decide to initiate a program that focuses on healthy eating and physical activity. You prepare a chart on which you record each child’s weight and height. To learn more about their current food preferences, you create a game by posting pictures of nutritious and unhealthy foods and snack items on a wall. You ask all of the children in your class to tape a “smiley face†or a “frown face†on each of the foods. The following day you extend the game, and your data collection, by asking the children to describe their favorite indoor and outdoor activities. You record their choices on a large piece of paper.
Your data show a need for significant improvement in the children’s eating and activity behaviors. You begin by implementing 10 minutes of organized, vigorous activity during the morning and afternoon outdoor periods. In addition, you develop daily nutrition lessons and work closely with the cook to plan the children’s meals and snacks around healthy foods. After several weeks, you notice that the children are more receptive to trying new foods and that the frequency of behavior problems is decreasing. Based on the positive outcomes you have witnessed so far, you decide to expand your healthy lifestyle initiative by involving the children’s families.
Assignment:
1. Â Â Â Describe the expected outcome in the food-choice game data based on the unhealthy eating patterns discussed in chapters 12 – 14, and use this information to prepare a list of twenty nutritious food choices that can be used in learning activities to promote healthy eating.
2. Â Â Â Next, develop a two-column list of developmentally appropriate physical activities for preschool-age children:
list ten high-energy, aerobic activities in one column, and
ten moderate intensity activities in the other column.
3. Â Â Â Additionally, prepare a family newsletter that describes a healthy diet, 5 nutritious snack suggestions, and 5 physical activities that families can engage in together with their children.

/in /by adminAfter completing the readings, watching the videos in Unit 4, and further researching the topic, post a two-paragraph response to the following:Â
In the reading, you learned about types of attachment: secure, avoidant, ambivalent, and disorganized. Which attachment style do you believe you grew up with, and what effect did it have on your cognitive and personality development as a child?
Think about the type of people that you are attracted to, the relationship(s) that you’re in, and/or the type of parent that you are (if you have children). What effect, if any, does your attachment style have on your relationships and/or parenting?
Respond to Peers
My parents method of parenting was completely different from one another. While my mother offered me secure attachment, my father gave me avoidant attachment. That being said, it would make sense to believe I was raised in two separate households; however, that is not the case. I was raised in a very confusing, single family home with two completely different styles of parenting. Due to the differences within my parents methods, I received ambivalent attachment. Navigating my way into adulthood has had its highs and lows because of my childhood. In some situations, I am secure, confident and comfortable. While, in other situations I am insecure, anxious and uncomfortable. These situations could be very similar but depending on my mood or surrounding circumstances, I could experience either reaction.
I have experiences the same as observed by Weinfield, Sroufe, Egeland & Carlson, growing from an insecure-avoidant child (partially), I’ve had difficulties making and maintaining relationships (and friendships) (2008). My partner was raised in an abusive, emotionally unavailable household which aligns with avoidant-disorganized attachment. Due to his childhood, he struggles to express emotion and is very anxiety ridden. Together, we have two children and are trying our best to align our methods with secure attachment. We are trying to provide our children with security, confidence and emotional availability. I believe our incompetent childhoods are motivation for us to do better with our children, than what was done for us.Â
solved As the Grimm fairy tale collections were met with enthusiasm
/in /by adminAs the Grimm fairy tale collections were met with enthusiasm there was soon the mass production of postcards, collectible tins, and later with Dinsey: toys, watches, bed sheets, shower curtains, and many other items. Total marketing of the fairy tale produced a bevy of products to infiltrate every aspect of our domestic lives. The fairy tale figures, themes, and elements were viable commodities that masses were eager to buy up as they symbolized connecting their own life with their fantasy. In this activity, you will put on your marketing cap – you work at a firm that has just received the rights to produce a fairy tale licensed product, but there is only one problem – you have been put in charge of promoting a very obscure Grimm tale. Without the typical name recognition of the popular tales and their figures, what product would best suit your tale? Â
Step 1: Choose a not so well-known fairy tale. This means none of the initial tales from the first weeks of the course are available. You can choose one of the tales from other weeks. The more obscure the better.Â
Step 2: Develop a product that fits the tale, either the protagonist, the theme, or another aspect of the tale. For example Sleeping Beauty Bed Sheets (Except Sleeping Beauty is not obscure enough of a tale to choose).Â
Step 3: Create an advertisement that uses the licensed tale property to sell the product (1 paragraph – can be visual), and then in a second paragraph, explain your thoughts on developing this marketing, and then in a third paragraph, describe how your product could fit into a global marketing campaign, would any changes need to be made to localize it?
What to do: Review the instructions for this week’s assignment.
Objectives
Review the basic concepts of the Culture Industry (Lecture 11C).
Consider the demands of audience, production, and industry and its impact on society.
Introduction to the final segment of the course, as you learn fairy tale structure and fairy tale revision.
What to Include
A written (graphic) or video response answering the prompts.
An idea for a licensed product based on an obscure Grimm tale
1) advertisement, 2) explanation of concept, 3) global marketing adjustments

In this week, you will take the information gathered in Week 3 and incorporate it into a final paper. The paper is not just the literature review it is a culmination of what you have learned over the course and as in Week 3 use the following course competencies as a guide to developing your paper.
Major psychological theories and principles in the field of addictions
Historical link to modern issues and trends in the field of addictions
Current and evolving trends in the field of addictions
Nature of geographic, social, cognitive, and emotional factors in the development, course, and duration of addictions
Differences in patterns of addiction in the context of gender and developmental issues
Illegal and legal substance use issues regarding physical, social, and psychological effects
Impact of treatment and prevention methods on the incidence, course, and duration of addictive behaviors
Your paper should adhere to the following guidelines:
For the main sections, it should have:
A title page: The title should be appropriate as per the topics chosen for research.
An abstract: This should be 150- to 250-words in length.
An introduction: This should be 2- to 3-pages in length. The introduction provides a brief overview of what will be covered and the purpose of the position paper.
A literature review: The literature review is taken in part from what you wrote in Week 3. The literature review is not a copy of that material. Rather, it is a synthesis of the relevant material into a cohesive review of the literature on your chosen topic. Thus, it is not a copy of your annotated bibliography.
Discussion and conclusions: The difference between a great position paper and a marginal one is the depth and originality of the discussion and conclusions section. This is where you bring together what you learned from the literature review (as well as through the course) in your concluding remarks regarding your topic. This is the section that you draw connections between the research and course. The discussion and conclusions section should be one to two pages in length.

This is a Collaborative Learning Community (CLC) assignment.Â
The purpose of this assignment is to assess leadership styles, traits, and practices as a nursing professional, establish the importance of effective interprofessional communication as a leader in nursing, and to explore the role of servant leadership in nursing practice.
Read the study materials on leadership and complete the topic quiz activities to better understand your leadership qualities.
Upon completion, summarize and share with your group what you learned about your specific leadership qualities, so you can become familiar with how you are similar and different from your peers when it comes to being a leader.
As a group, review the study materials related to servant leadership. Using what you have learned about the tenets of servant leadership and traits and practices of successful leaders, create a 10-12 slide PowerPoint presentation with speaker notes. Add an additional slide for references at the end of your presentation.Â
Include the following in your presentation:
Each group member: Create a slide that summarizes your leadership style, traits, and practices.
Compare the personal leadership styles of your group members, including commonalities between group members’ strengths and weaknesses.
Explain why it is important for nursing professionals to be aware of their personal leadership style, traits, and practices.
Discuss what leadership traits and styles are necessary to be an effective communicator. Explain the importance of leaders adapting communication approaches when working interprofessionally (across ancillary departments, vendors, community members).
Discuss how nursing professionals can benefit from integrating the tenets of servant leadership to empower and influence others as they lead.
Discuss how leaders who practice servant leadership and have a strong understanding of their personal leadership traits can successfully lead others and navigate the unique challenges that are part of nursing and health care. Provide two examples that illustrate your main ideas.
