this week's discussion on "Play". 

Why is it important for the child to play? Does play shapes child's personality?What if there is no play in early childhood stages ?

Expand your thoughts on above given questions.

For this assignment visit The Stanford Prison Experiment.  Read through the story  and watch the videos as you reflect on the phenomenon of group think  and the actions of compliance and conformity. In your paper, address the  following:

• Define obedience, compliance, conformity, and group think in your  own words and provide an example for each that was not presented in your  course materials.
• Weigh in on your thoughts regarding the use of compliance  techniques. What are the moral and ethical implications of using such  techniques?
• Weigh in on this question from the website: Was it ethical to do  this study? Was it right to trade the suffering experienced by  participan

Examine how Sattler's pillars of assessment apply to professional practice. 

Imagine that you are working as a psychologist. Develop a scenario where you might see a client for testing. The testing may be forensic, educational, clinical, or occupational.

Part A: Using Sattlers pillars of assessment, explain how you would proceed with the testing process.

Part B: Identify at least three ethical guidelines that you will need to consider in the assessment process and give a specific example  for each of these issues (such as confidentiality, informed consent, competency, etc.).

5-6 pages, APA format with size 12 font, double spaced with 1 inch margins, not including the Title and References pages. The paper should integrate 3 

scholarly citations and references to support content and conclusions.

Read chapter 8 of your textbook (Meredith et al., 2013): Evaluating and Terminating the Project. Read the incident for discussion (General Construction Company) and discuss the following questions: 250 words

If you were the project manager, how would you handle the situation?
How can a customer be assured of satisfactory project completion?
What are the elements that should be included in every audit report? For each element, explain why its inclusion is important.

Reminder: A high quality post is one that explicitly links your personal opinion or experience with the course materials or other relevant outside sources using proper APA format. Both in-text citations and a reference list are required for this discussion. You may earn up to 5 points for this discussion; and you may find the following resources helpful:

Imagine that a client came to you as a first step, in one of the provided scenarios. It is likely you will need to recommend outside resources, beyond what you would provide, such as counseling, too. Even though you might not provide all the resources for a client as he or she goes through the stages of change, you should be able to predict which stages a client in a given situation is likely to go though.

In your chosen scenario, identify the stages of change that a client would likely go through and questions that you would ask him or her during each stage to help progress. Assess the resources that he or she might need and referrals that you might make for the client to be successful at each stage.

Choose a scenario from the given list and evaluate the stages of change. As part of your analysis, you should identify the culture, ethnicity, and/or country of the client. Analyze the scenario from the viewpoint of a human and social services professional after the client

Jean Piaget is probably the most influential theorist in the cognitive development realm. His work has informed American educational practices since the early 1900s. Another key cognitive theorist in the realm is Lev Vygotsky. Interestingly, Vygotsky and Piaget were contemporaries (both were born in 1896), but for many years, Piagets theory dominated. The fact that Vygotsky died at age 37, while Piaget lived to be 84, might be part of that explanation. But Vygotskys ideas gained traction in the 1980s when educators began to question long held Piagetian ideas. Nevertheless, both theories are important to the study of cognitive development. In your initial post of 300 words minimum,

• Provide a brief overview of Piagets and Vygotskys child and adolescent cognitive developmental theories.
• Compare and contrast these theories as they relate to child and adolescent development by identifying at least one commonality in the two theories and two major conce

After determining the type of personality disorder your individual has, you will now research common triggers that are associated with the disorder and determine which were present in the individual's background. 

How would these triggers differ if the individual was either a psychopath or a sociopath (whichever disorder he or she does not have)? Include any risk factors you may expect to be associated with a particular trigger. 

Based on the personality disorder, determine appropriate communication skills that could be used when interacting with this individual and attempting to obtain information. 

Which communication approaches would not be effective for this individual's personality disorder? Justify your determinations.

Decide on a specific topic within psychology on which you want to conduct research. This is the topic on which you will chat with your research team about on discussion board assignments and ultimately write your research proposal.

Conduct a literature search on the topic using PsycINFO. As you go, you might find that you need to narrow down your topic. Feel free to do so. (For example, if your topic is simply goal setting, you will probably find hundreds or thousands of papers on goal setting. You need to narrow that down to something like goal revision or goal conflict to get a manageable list.)

I need someone to do a 2-3 page chart following a list of key psychological models and theories of aging, identify the theorist(s) if applicable, and provide a brief explanation of how the theory contributes to our understanding of the aging process. You will need to research some of the theories, as they may not be covered in the course textbook. 
 

Your chart should address the following models:
 

Selective optimization with compensation (SOC) model
Ecological model of aging
Mechanistic metamodel 
Organismic metamodel 
Contextual metamodel 
 

And include at least 4 of the following theories: 
 

Disengagement theory 
Activity theory
Social Exchange Theory
Age Stratification Theory
 

You will present your findings in a simple chart format. 
 

Your chart should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the

Locate three peer-reviewed articles on Prochaska and DiClementes Stages of Change (part of the Transtheoretical Model). Ensure your research on this model includes other cultures, ethnicities, or countries than your own.

Post potential implications of using this model with a client from a different culture, ethnicity, or country. Discuss the considerations that might need to be made. Finally, discuss whether this model applies in all settings or is limited only to some cultures, ethicalities, and/or countries.

Please be specific and support your conclusions by citing the course resources AND at least ONE peer-reviewed resource (i.e., journal article, professional organization website, etc.).
