Section 3 explains your professional responsibilities to your profession. You are expected to be honest and reliable, to practice integrity and trustworthiness, attributes that protect your clients, your profession, and you. You are required only to use behavior intervention approaches supported by behavior analytic research and only accept clients whose target behaviors are commensurate with your training and experience. Maintaining and adding to your expertise by keeping up with the latest research in your field is required to provide your clients with the care they deserve. Additionally, you are always to treat your clients and their families with dignity and respect.
Section 3 also outlines your responsibility to your clients to provide individualized, research-based, effective behavior analytic treatment. If a third party requests your services, you must identify the primary beneficiary of your services.
Scenario
Alita is a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) working for a large company that contracts with multiple school districts to provide behavior analytic services for their students. Prior to leaving the office to work with one of her young clients, the manager assigned her another student at the same school. Alita was directed to conduct a functional behavior assessment (FBA) and design a function-based behavior intervention plan (BIP) for the new client. Alita was happy to schedule the FBA as soon as possible but stated that she would first meet with the parents and explain the process and obtain informed consent to begin. Her manager told her that it was unnecessary since the school district is paying her for her services, and the principal requested behavior services.
Discussion
Discuss the relevant ethical issues in this scenario. Identify all of the applicable codes by number and explain why each is relevant in the case. Utilize only the codes covered in Section 3. What must Alita do to remain in compliance with the Behavior Analyst Certification Board’s (BACB’s) ethical codes?

Question:
How do biological, cognitive, and environmental factors interact to influence the development and manifestation of anxiety disorders, and what evidence-based psychological interventions are most effective in addressing these disorders?
Key Points to Address:
Biological Factors:Role of genetics and family history in anxiety disorders
Neurochemical imbalances (e.g., serotonin, GABA, cortisol)
Brain structures involved (e.g., amygdala, prefrontal cortex)
Cognitive Factors:Dysfunctional thought patterns and cognitive distortions (e.g., catastrophizing, black-and-white thinking)
The role of attention biases and overestimation of threat
Impact of early learning experiences on cognitive schemas
Environmental Factors:Role of childhood trauma, neglect, and adverse life events
Influence of cultural norms and societal pressures
Impact of ongoing stressors (e.g., work, relationships)
Psychological Interventions:Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): mechanisms and efficacy
Exposure therapy: applications and limitations
Pharmacological interventions: anti-anxiety medications and their impact
Role of mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Emerging treatments: virtual reality therapy, biofeedback
This question requires an understanding of multiple dimensions within psychology—biological, cognitive, environmental, and therapeutic—and offers a platform to explore current research and best practices.

Longitudinal studies are an important tool in the scientific study of development. They have been used as well to gather healthcare data. There are several famous studies that have great impact on our understanding of physical and psychological development. Pick 2 studies from the list and write a summary of each study. Your summary should include: · Who performed the study? · What were they hoping to find? · Who were the subjects and how were they selected? · What research methods were used? · What did the researchers find? · Has the data collected resulted in any real world applications? · What are the criticisms of the study? Studies: • Genetic study of genius (Terman Study) • Framingham heart study • Grant Study • Midlife in the US • Minnesota twin family study • Millennium cohort study (US not UK) This is an individual assignment. Group work will not be graded.

Remember to include the names of particular websites listed here https://www.livescience.com/61995-best-science-websites.html in your search to make sure you’re getting pop science articles instead of scholarly sources. BBC Science, NPR, Vox, NYT, Scientific American, and many others listed there will have the types of articles I’m looking for for this assignment. Additionally, another great place to look that is not listed there is Psychology Today.
