please read the instructions. Down below are the topics that I have chose.
Lab 1: Blind spot
Lab 2: Brain Asymmetry
title: Exploring Visual Perception and Cognitive Function: Insights from Blind Spot and Brain Asymmetry Labs

Description: Choose a case study to base this presentation on. The case study example may be portrayed in national news sources, movies, television shows, or novels. Students are strongly encouraged to select a case in which sufficient information is provided in order to answer the questions. For the case example, students will need to create a slide show presentation (PowerPoint).
Present the case study, discussing the following:
1. Provide an introduction to the case and discuss factors related to lethality.
2. Address risk factors precipitating the suicide attempt. Specifically, you need to consider desire, capability, and intent.
3. Discuss concerns related to ethics and diversity.
4. Explore protective factors that would mitigate suicide risk
5. Complete a fictitious Suicide Risk Assessment, using an SRA document that you would anticipate using at a clinical mental health setting. 6. Develop a safety plan and provide a rationale for the safety plan (as if the person were still alive).
7. Provide a conclusion that reflects on how you will apply what you learned to your work as a counselor
The Suicide Assessment Assignment must: Use APA formatting, Contain all 7 components outlined above.

First, you should make any changes to Part 1 of your project (identifying the variables) based on the feedback you received from your Week 3 submission. Next, underneath that section, add an Analysis of Ethical Considerations heading. In this section of the analysis, you will analyze the ethical considerations presented in the research by elaborating on the following questions:
1) Do you think the study was ethical or conducted in an ethical way?
2) How did the authors ensure they met the APA Ethical Research standards you learned about last week in Chapter 4? Then, after completing that section, add an Identification of Research Participants heading. In this section, you will discuss the participants involved in this research. Be sure to at least address the following questions (you may elaborate more if you would like):
1) How many participants were there?
2) What are the participant demographics?
3) Do the authors mention how participants were recruited?
4) Do you see any potential problems with the way the participants were selected? This part of your project should be 450 words or more and should include an APA Reference page with a citation for the article you found (updated based on feedback, if applicable). You should also include in-text citations for both paraphrased and quoted material throughout your analysis. *Remember, only use direct quotes when absolutely necessary. For this assignment, there should be 1-2 quotes at maximum (if any). In order for you and I to know that you have understood what you have read, you need to be able to explain the research in YOUR OWN words!

Paper Descriiption:
14-18 pages – 12 point Times New Roman font, double spaced, 1 inch margins, Word doc. Students will write a case report in which they describe a system requiring intervention. The system may be • A system with which the student has worked (or is working) in a professional capacity • A system of which the student has reasonable knowledge at the personal or familial level (If this option is chosen, write the case report from an objective perspective, as if one were the therapist, and communicate privately to the instructors that your relationship with the system is personal, not professional. This will protect your own and your family’s privacy.)
• A system portrayed in a book, play, film, or video. – this is my choice and the film is: Ordinary People from 1980 The student will provide a thorough descriiption of the system and its component elements – taking care, in the case of clients or personal relationships, to safeguard confidentiality by changing non-relevant details and using pseudonyms. Then the student will provide a systemic assessment of the case, grounded in at least one of the theories covered in the course. Next, the student will discuss how their personality and way of being with others “meshes” (in terms of their gifts and growing edges) with the needs of the system needing intervention.- here one thing that can be mentioned is having an empathetic inclination (good because I can connect with clients), bad because I need to work more on having a more objective stance and not getting pulled into the situation) Finally, the student will describe how they would/will conduct therapeutic work with the system (treatment plan). The proposed treatment plan needs to be designed using the same systemic theory(ies) used in the assessment of the system. Make sure you choose a theory that is a good fit for treating the presenting problem you choose. You will find certain problems lend themselves to certain theories. The case report will conclude with a brief theological reflection which integrates the system situation (including the spirituality of that system), the student’s personhood and personal spirituality, and the therapy plan. In addition to making reference, with citations, to the required textbook(s) in completing this assignment, students are required to cite a minimum of 2 academic sources for the theory chosen for the assessment and treatment plan in this assignment. The assignment should demonstrate your capacity to think and work systemically.
I must have a case conceptualization for this paper but no need for diagnosis or assessment section.

It is a dissertation level literature review “Investigating How Culinary Openness Correlates with Political Ideologies among Individuals”
It’s originally from you guys. I was just wondering if there are any alterations that can be made to further enhance. I’m just looking for a bit more critical analysis, discussion on implications and some added depth to the analysis.
Additionally could you please ensure all citations and references are in APA format.
Thank you.

Case studies are intended to give you the opportunity to apply concepts and theories learned in the course. For each case study, you must choose one individual (real or fictional) to analyze according to any one concept or theory learned in the respective unit. (You are welcome to analyze the same person more than once over the term, as you will be applying different content in each case.) You can choose to analyze any real or fictional person as long as they are well known enough so as to not require background information for clarity. Importantly, the purpose of this assignment is NOT to write a biography. Your goal is to consider the concept or theory within the context of the person’s life; and/or to interpret their behaviour or experience according to the concept or theory. You may focus on the individual’s personality development, their current state, or a specific aspect of the individual’s life. It is recommended that you choose a fairly specific concept (or part of a theory or model in cases of complex ideas like the Big 5 or Freudian theory). In the case of discussing psychological disorders (including personality disorders), you should remain speculative and not imply that the person “has” a diagnosis or disorder (unless it is public knowledge).
The audience should be someone who has completed this course. As such, there should be very little time spent restating what has already been stated. Instead, you should be demonstrating critical thinking by presenting original insight(s). The primary goal of these assignments is to apply course content; however, if it is either necessary or appropriate for your topic, you may cite outside sources as you see fit (to a maximum of 3 references per assignment). If referring to ideas or research findings presented in lecture content or in the textbook, you may simply treat this information as general knowledge and no formal citations are needed (and therefore no References page is needed in this case). If you refer to any other literature or outside sources in a case study assignment (e.g., information/facts on the subject or relevant research not discussed in class), then you must cite the information according to APA style AND also include an additional References page listing the full reference(s) for this new information. A References page is therefore NOT required in all cases. It depends on the approach you take. In many cases, logic or reason alone are sufficient in the application of course content, and some individuals are very well known, so outside sources are not always necessary.
Case studies are not meant to be summaries of course material. Rather, they are intended to encourage critical thinking about specific research topics, theories, and concepts/models in order to provide insight about some individual.
CASE STUDY SUBJECTS:
A list of recommended subjects is available in Canvas. If you would like to analyze someone not on this list, you should check with me to see if the person is appropriate (and familiar enough).

CASE STUDY FORMATTING REQUIREMENTS:
Each case study assignment must be typed, double-spaced (with 1-inch margins), in 12-point Times New Roman or similar font, and NO MORE THAN ONE PAGE IN LENGTH (any additional content will be ignored, with the exception of a References page). First-person perspective and direct quoting should be used minimally and formal/academic tone should be maintained throughout. You must include a heading at the top of the first page indicating the unit number and the subject’s name along with your name and student number (see sample online). You should also very clearly state the concept or theory you will be examining in the first sentence. A References page can be included in addition to the one page if it is required (i.e., if you cite information not cited in the textbook or lecture). You should adhere to APA formatting (7th ed., APA, 2019); however, case studies do NOT require a title page, an abstract, a running head, or additional headings.

As a human services professional working with individuals experiencing behavioral health issues, it is easy to get caught up in the review of symptoms of a diagnosis; however, it is important for you to be able to integrate theoretical perspectives and research when addressing psychopathology issues with justice-involved individuals. In this assessment, you will use a theoretical lens to analyze an individual’s diagnoses. Assume you are a human services professional working at a psychological treatment center in a local correctional facility. Your team meets weekly to review the clients and share perspectives to ensure appropriate care is being given. Since this will be your first meeting, your supervisor has asked you to prepare a summary of the client in the selected case, including theoretical perspectives and research regarding the client’s disorder. You will share this summary with your teammates in the meeting. Research the diagnoses for your selected case study to determine common behavioral symptoms associated with each. Research theoretical perspectives that may explain the diagnosis and symptomology. Write a 700- to 1,050-word summary of the symptomology presented by the client in which you: Explain the behavioral symptoms presented by the client. Explain how the behavioral symptoms exhibited by the client are either typical or atypical with the provided diagnosis, based on your research. Describe the client’s diagnosis through the lens of 2 theoretical perspectives. Include details to explain how the theoretical perspectives provide a deeper understanding of the behavioral symptoms and possible causes. If necessary details are missing from the case study, fill in the gaps with information for your research. Cite a minimum of 2 peer-reviewed journal articles. Format your assessment according to APA guidelines. Scenario Crystal is a 48-year-old woman from a large city. She lives in a resource-constrained area with marked levels of continuous gang violence and inadequate social services, such as insufficient policing. At the time of treatment, she is married with two school-age children. Crystal was referred for treatment after witnessing a gang-related killing of a 23-year-old male in front of her house. Crystal reported that she knew the young man who was shot, as he lived in the same neighborhood as Crystal. Since the event, Crystal has been feeling scared and does not want to leave her house. She has also felt anger and shame for not having the courage to prevent the shooting. She avoided talking about the event and could not walk past or look at the location of the killing, which was near her front gate. She has had trouble concentrating and sleeping, so she took an over-the-counter sleep aid to help her fall asleep at night. In addition, Crystal described that she struggled to understand why people could be so cruel to each other and reported distress related to her marriage. On assessment, Crystal reported only verbal and emotional abuse, but it later became apparent that she had also experienced physical abuse in her marriage. Crystal is also going through an intake after being arrested for drug possession. Primary Diagnosis: Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD).

Surprisingly Happy to Have Helped: Underestimating Prosociality Creates a Misplaced Barrier to Asking for Help
Xuan Zhao1 and Nicholas Epley2

Note: although we have maintained the integrity of the data, there have been some minor changes to the analysis to what you might read in the publication. Many of their analyses were done using ANOVA’s while we have selected subsets to analyze with t-tests so that it is more appropriate for your assignment.

Abstract: Performing acts of kindness increases well-being, yet people can be reluctant to ask for help that would enable others’ kindness. We suggest that people may be overly reluctant because of miscalibrated expectations about others’ prosocial motivation, underestimating how positively others will feel when asked for help. Those needing help consistently underestimated others’ willingness to help, underestimated how positively helpers would feel, and overestimated how inconvenienced helpers would feel. These miscalibrated expectations stemmed from underestimating helpers’ prosocial motivation while overestimating compliance motivation. Undervaluing prosociality could create a misplaced barrier to asking for help when needed. We hypothesize that those in need of help underestimate the strength of others’ prosocial motivation to help when asked directly— How much others “want” to help—consequently underestimating how willingly others will help and how positively others will feel about helping. Failing to fully appreciate how much others will genuinely want to help, and will feel positive for doing so, could then leave people overly reluctant to asking for help more often in daily life. Finally, experiments across a variety of contexts indicate that people reliably underestimate the likelihood that others will agree to their direct requests (Bohns, 2016). Requests for help such as borrowing a cell phone (Flynn & Lake, 2008) those making the request consistently believe others will say “no” more often than others actually do. This underestimation-of-compliance effect has been interpreted as a failure among requesters to fully appreciate the strength of compliance motivation among recipients, especially how uncomfortable it would be to say “no” to a request. We believe that these hypotheses are important because they clarify theoretical mechanisms underlying prosocial behavior and also because expectations about helpers’ experiences are likely to guide decisions to request help.
