Hello Research
Paper Writer:
The information
below will be helpful to you when working on the Research Paper, please
read through it and if you have any questions, please let me know. I have a Research
Paper for my “Psychology Research Methods” class due at the end of
May. The Professor has been having us slowly work on different parts of our
research individual research paper but there is a bigger part of it that is
due. In our class, we all were split into groups of 5 and asked to create a
group main topic for research then we were asked to come up with 5 different
sub topics for each individual in my group that was related to the main topic.
Our group main topic is on “Cognitive Psychology and Memory”
and the following individual topics for our group were:
“Working Memory
Capacity and Cognitive Performance”
“Neuroplasticity
and Memory Enhancement” “Emotion and
Memory Consolidation”
“Age-Related
Changes in Memory Processes “
“False Memories
and Memory Distortions”
The topic that I
need to focus on for my Research Paper is “False Memories and Memory
Distortions” some sections of this research paper have been done but
they will need a little more expansion and a few more references to include to
make it a stronger paper. So please, don’t feel so overwhelmed because some of
the work is done. The Professor
required the class to write a Literature Review which will become part
of the abstract of the Research Paper. I have included some of
the completed assignments that can be used for the research paper (they will
just need some work on incorporating it into the paper) and I have included
some specific instructions this Professor has for each section of the Research
Paper which will be helpful. I have also included (see attached files) the e-book
(it’s online and in PDF form and does count as one of the references for this research
paper)  we are using in class and it
lists many of the concepts for the research paper if more clarification is
needed. (It’s labeled: “Research Methods in Psychology Book – Psych 2 Class”)
The Professor
has included a Sample Paper of what the Research Paper should
look like and I have attached it to the files as well. The template is a guide
with information on how the outline of the Research Paper should look in
general.  The title of this file is “Final
Research Paper Example – This is a Template”. The most difficult
part of this Research Paper (at least for me and this is why I need assistance
mostly) is going to be the “Descriptive Statistics” part that needs to
be included and incorporated into in the Research Paper (the Results
Section). Sections of the
Research Paper:
1.            (Title Page) Title of Research
Paper: “The Impact of False Memories and 
Memory Distortions” 2.           Abstract Section: (Literature Review:
This part is complete & I have 
attached the document)
3.           Introduction Section: “False
Memories and Memory Distortions “
(I have completed 4 Hypotheses
and attached this completed 
assignment which will be helpful for this section
of the paper.  I have also 
included “Questions
for my topic” as it might be helpful as well)
4.           Methods  Section: The Professor wants this section divided
into 
sub-sections like  Participants,  Materials, Procedures, etc. 5.           Results Section:  Hypothesis 1, Hypothesis 2, Hypothesis 3,
Hypothesis 4, 
and the Descriptive Statistics.
6.           Discussion Section: Divide into
sub-sections like Findings, Limitations, 
Future directions. Conclusion
7.            References Section: I have a total of
5 references (4 journal articles and 1 
book which is the book we are using
in class which is attached in the files)                 but the Professor wants us to have
at least 7 to 8 references total. The 
professor is encouraging us to us “Google
Scholar” to look for material 
related to our topics. The articles or
journals must be within the last 5 
years.

Paper Example (Example of what it should look like)

What are some of the major theoretical assumptions of operant conditioning that set it apart from other theories of learning? What does this theory explain well about learning, and what does it not explain well?
Review the presentation Learning Theories: Case Studies. Choose one case study to use for this discussion. Using operant conditioning, identify a behavior that the individual could have previously learned. How could the operations of negative reinforcement, positive reinforcement, and punishment be used to hypothesize what the person has learned? What kind of intervention would work for this person when using an operant conditioning theoretical framework?
Share ways in which you have seen operant conditioning in action in your own life. When you have witnessed a behavior change or an attempt at a behavior change, how might operant conditioning explain what you observed?
CASE STUDY:
Greta is a 32-year-old single woman who has recently begun dating someone new and believes they could really have a future. There is just one problem. Greta is very afraid of dogs. Her new love has 3 enormous Leonbergers and has said that life wouldn’t be worth living without animals around. Greta knows she has to change.
When Greta was six years old, while she was walking the two blocks to school all by herself, a beautiful shiny black dog was in a yard along her path. Delighted, she opened their gate and rushed to the dog. The dog charged at her and gave warning barks but Greta just wanted to pet it and kept coming. The dog bit her on the shoulder and shook her and dragged her around the yard, not releasing her until a passer-by pulled the dog off her and called 911. Greta sustained some injuries from the bite and had a shoulder surgery to repair a ligament. Throughout the rest of her childhood, Greta developed more and more fears. First, it was anything about hospitals and dogs, other black animals, then loud noises, sirens, first responders, and she struggled with wetting accidents due to fears for quite some time as a child. In college Greta worked through some of her anxieties with a counselor, but she did not address her dog fears as she claimed “I have just become really good at avoiding dogs”.

What are some of the pressures or issues children or adolescents with same-sex parents face as opposed to those whose parents are heterosexual?

Prior to beginning work on this week’s discussion, please review Standard 3: Human Relations. in the APA’s Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct. Please also read the Asay and Lal (2014) “Who’s Googled Whom? Trainees’ Internet and Online Social Networking Experiences, Behaviors, and Attitudes with Clients and Supervisors,” Harris and Robinson Kurpius (2014) “Social Networking and Professional Ethics: Client Searches, Informed Consent, and Disclosure,” and Taylor, McMinn, Bufford, and Chang (2010) “Psychologists’ Attitudes and Ethical Concerns Regarding the Use of Social Networking Web Sites” articles.
For this discussion, you will examine ethical issues encountered by clinical and counseling psychologists in the digital age. Begin by reviewing the cases of Dr. Arnold and Dr. Washington listed below and selecting one of these ethical dilemmas for analysis.
Case 1
Dr. Arnold is a clinical psychologist who specializes in child and adolescent issues. From time to time, she provides consultation on high lethality cases within the juvenile court system. Recently, she was referred a case involving a 15-year-old male who has a history of aggression, angry outburst, destructive behavior, and cyberstalking. Concerned for her safety and well-being, Dr. Arnold input the client’s name into a search engine, which yielded the client’s social network page. Dr. Arnold is uncertain whether or not to look at the client’s social network page.
Case 2
Dr. Washington is a counseling psychologist who specializes in trauma and self-harming behavior. Recently, he received a “friend request” from a former client who he provided individual therapy to six months ago. Dr. Washington opted not to accept the “friend request,” but considered sending a private message to the client with the social networking policy from his informed consent. Dr. Washington is uncertain whether or not to send the private message to the client.
In your initial post, assume the role of a colleague to the doctor named and analyze the ethical issues encountered in your chosen case. Given the situation described in the case study, recommend how your colleague should proceed. Provide support for your response by citing the required articles for this discussion. Consider the current and potential actions of your colleague and explain whether or not he or she is currently, or potentially will be, in violation of the APA’s Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct. Provide support for your explanation by citing Standard 3: Human Relations. in the APA’s Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct. Explain how your colleague might avoid this type of ethical dilemma in the future. Describe what policy or policies you might put in place if you were your colleague.        

The publishing house you are interning for is thinking of incorporating personality tests into the firm’s job application process. The human resources director has asked you to conduct research on different personality tests and prepare a proposal. 
Research a minimum of 3 free personality tests available online (you may include the Big Five Personality Test you completed in Week 3). 
Write a 525- to 700-word proposal, completing the following: 
List and summarize the 3 or more tests you researched. 
Describe any behavioral or social cognitive theory aspects that are identified in these tests. 
Identify and explain why you believe the test you selected will be the best fit for your large publishing firm. 
Include a reference page at the end of the proposal. Use a citation generator, such as the Reference and Citation Generator in the Center for Writing Excellence for guidance on formatting your reference list using APA format.

Factors That Impact Victims in a Disaster
For this assignment, consider that a large explosion has occurred in an urban area encompassing commercial and residential buildings and a transit hub. Casualties are light given the densely populated area, but after 24 hours the authorities have still not concluded the cause of the explosion. Failure of infrastructure and a terrorist attack are significant possibilities, but uncertainty is high and rumors persist. In your post describe how social and psychological factors interrelate with this disaster and its victims and how recovery teams might help the population cope. Points will be earned for multiple posts, proper grammar, spelling, organization, length, citations, content of the knowledge, reasoning, and APA citation and referencing. 

Now that you know something about psychological disorders, it’s time to try your hand at making some diagnoses. You’ll base your (nonprofessional) opinion on the events and symptoms reported by imaginary psychiatric patients and those who have contact with them.

Instructions
There are a number of theories underlying how policies are created, and how social values influence these decisions. One thing that should not be forgotten is that policies are created by human beings with their own sets of beliefs and experiences. Understanding this can help us as social workers, to understand the values underlying policy decisions as well as how to advocate for policies that are in the best interest of the individuals and communities we serve. You should have read the article Social Empathy: A Model Built on Empathy, Contextual Understanding, and Social Responsibility that Promotes Social Justice early in this module. If you have not yet done so, please revisit the readings page in this module and complete the reading.
Part 1: 
Once you have completed your reading, write a paragraph that identifies what you see as challenges policymakers face in creating policies  and what social empathy might mean in terms of creating social welfare policies and programs.
Part 2:
Now, participate in the following activity:
You have $100 to donate in the name of charity to distribute to an individual or cause you believe worthy of receiving this gesture on your part. Think hard as to how to best use your contribution to make a difference in the life or lives of recipients of your donation. Write down how you would distribute the $100.
Reflect on this exercise and write another paragraph explaining how you made the decision where your contribution would go.
Requirements
In order to successfully complete this assignment, you should: 
Complete both parts of this assignment as specified above. 
Each of your paragraphs should be approximately 6-8 sentences in length. 
Please turn in both paragraphs on one document; label each part as appropriate.

I will attach pictures below of the actual assignment, as well as the slides, the professor gave us in case you need some thing else to go off of based off the topic of self and personality. Please do your best this is worth 75% of my grade so I need it to be the best paper you’ve ever written. Thank you so much in advance!
