The human resources department has approached you, asking for an intervention to improve the retention and performance of an integral position in the workforce. Select a job role from experience or a case study and, using the Job Characteristics Model, identify the following:
Current task variety
Current task identity
Current task significance
Current autonomy
Current evaluation and feedback mechanisms
Provide a brief overview of the emotional temperature of employees in their positions with resulting behaviors. Also, describe both the intrinsic and extrinsic motivations influencing the problem.
Outline your intervention by describing the:
Targeted task variety
Targeted task identity
Targeted task significance
Targeted autonomy
Proposed evaluation and feedback methods
Prescribe a balanced motivation plan that examines ethics and diversity.
Note: If you find another model or a variation of this model, please provide a description and citation.
Format your assignment as follows:
10- to 15-slide presentation
The slides should only contain essential information and as little text as possible. Do not design a slide presentation made up of long bullet points. Your speaker notes should convey the details you would give if you were presenting.
Include citations and a reference slide following APA guidelines from the following articles below:

rior to completing this discussion, read
Chapters 1, 12, and the one you selected for comparison from International Perspectives on elder abuse in the textbook;
The Complexities of Elder AbuseLinks to an external site.;
Elder Abuse and the Opioid Epidemic: Evidence From APS Cases in Central AppalachiaLinks to an external site.; and
The Secret to a Long, Happy, Healthy Life? Think Age-PositiveLinks to an external site..
In your initial post of 450 words,
Evaluate the issue of elder abuse, being sure to define the types of abuse, the ages most susceptible, and other relevant information pertinent to this complex issue. Support your thoughts with the required reading and one other resource of scholarly perspective and research from the field.
Propose at least one solution for aging adults that would help them achieve successful aging and prevent elder abuse.
Select a country outside of the United States (one that is covered in International Perspectives on elder abuse) and compare and contrast how the two countries deal with this issue.

you’ll relate one or more theories, studies, or findings that you came across in the current week’s
material with previous material. Ways of doing this could include: explaining how the new
material changes your understanding of the old material (e.g., a theory of personality
development discussed in the current week’s readings may offer a different explanation for the
findings of a study you previously read), designing a follow-up study that integrates the new and
old material (e.g., adding a new condition to an existing study you read previously to account for
any new insights inspired by the current material), or designing a program (i.e., intervention,
prevention, or training program for a particular setting) that integrates the new and old material
In each Integration Paper, you will cite more than one source, and will follow the APA style
guidelines (for the in-text citations and reference list).
OLD – LANIER AND DAVIS-BECKER
NEW: Early-life predictors of resilience  and Decreased Physical Effort, Fatigue, and Mental Distress
in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease 

Your friend is rasing a child who is nearing adolescence.  They ask you for advice because they know you are
taking a child development course. Please write a paper giving them advice,
making sure to touch on the following topics:
(1) What should
your friend do during early childhood to increase the likelihood of proper
intellectual development and school success?
(2) What should
your friend do during early childhood to increase the likelihood of proper
language development?
(3) How should your
friend do to address temperament and attachment in their child?
(4) Describe how
the child is likely to develop a strong sense of identity.
(5) Explain how
peer relationships in early childhood and middle childhood may influence your
friend’s child.
APA Format
Your paper should
be between three and four pages (Times New Roman, 12 point font, double
spaced). This essentially equates to ¾ of a page written
per question. This does not
include your title page or references,
which are also necessary. An outline
can help you organize your ideas in a clear, coherent manner. Finish with a
conclusion paragraph, identifying the main takeaways you have after completing
the paper.

I need assistance as I am very busy this week. All information needed is in the word doc attached and all chapters needed are attached also.

A second option for research experience is to summarize research studies presented in your supplemental text Forty Studies that Changed Psychology. Copies of the text are available on reserve in the library. Each summary should be at least three typed double-spaced pages, 12- point font (with no more than 1 inch margins) and include a description of the research problem, the theory being tested, the methodology of the study, the findings, and why the study was important for the study of psychology.

my topic is on TOPIC: THE NEUROBIOLOGY OF ADDICTIONGrading (100 points total)
Allocation of Points Introduction and background: (15 points)In this section you must provide an overview of seminal literature in the field you are researching. At least two empirical citations are required, and you need to present clear definition of new topics. For example, let’s say you are presenting on memory. In that case you will need a definition of memory and how it relates to the research question and hypothesis.
Expect 2-4 slides
The last slide of your introduction should be one with your research question and hypothesis
Method: (15 points)In this section you are providing enough information so that we can follow your logic. If we had the resources, we should be able to actually conduct the study you are proposing.
Use the smart art feature in ppt to develop a visual schematic of your design. Remember you design must be a 2 x 2- that is, two independent variables and each must have at least two levels. If you are using a subject variable, then you will have a mixed 2×2 since you are not going to manipulate.
Dependent variables must be explained in enough detail so that we understand what you are measuring.
This section should include at least one citation
Results: (15 points)Consider separating each predictive finding into a table or figure and using one graphic display per slide.
This section should include at least one citation
Conclusions/Questions: (15 points)The conclusion is where you get to be extra creative and dream big! In this section you should explain what you think the predictive findings are helpful to field.
This section should answer:Why should we care about your ideas? How will they help scientists working in this field?
Why is this important to you, your group, the class, the field at large?
What critical question does this information
How did this process help you better understand the topic at hand?
What is a future direction in the field?
What unanswered questions do you all have?
Tells a story (flow): 10 points
Visual Presentation: 10 points Spoken Presentation: 10 points
Ability to answer questions: 10 points
Guidelines on Presentation
Read your papers very carefully, several times. You will likely need to do some background reading from the textbook, and you may need to look up some terms in the glossary or a medical dictionary.
You should become the expert on your articles (the ones cited in your presentation)- you should know the details in it as if you wrote it yourself. We do not expect (or want) you to give us all the details in your presentation, however, if I ask you a question about the details, you should know them.
Plan your presentation to last no longer than 10-15 minutes.
Prepare your presentation in PowerPoint (or alternative). Use color and graphics as well, but don’t make your slides too busy – we don’t want to be distracted from your content. Your presentation should tell a story. It should include necessary background information, the research question, methods, results, and conclusions. End with some questions. These could be questions you have that the paper didn’t answer, new questions that are raised by the research, problems that you identified with the study, or general discussion questions.
Methods are very important. Present (or know) enough detail so that your audience clearly understands what was done. One way to do this is to pretend that we are subjects and demonstrate the procedures as much as possible. A phrase I like to hear is “If you were a subject in this experiment, you would…”. This “experiential” approach also makes your presentation more interesting for your audience.
Results are also very important. Present your predictive results in a way that is easy for your audience to grasp – often this will be done with a graph or table. When you show us a graph or a table, use your fingers (or a pointer) to show us what is interesting about it, which points you want us to compare, and explain to use what the data tell us.
Expect questions and interruptions. It is ok to say that you don’t know the answer to a question (I do it all the time).
Practice your presentation. Maintain eye contact; speak clearly and loudly enough for us to hear you. You will not be allowed to read from notes, but I will let you use cue cards if needed (not recommended). Often your slides can act as cue cards as well.
