After critically reading "Types of job demands make a difference. Testing the job-demand-control-support model among Polish police officers" (Baka, 2020):

Please copy each of the following question prompts and provide well-reasoned answers to them (as if they are short essay questions on a take home exam).

1. Given: Different types of job demands can really make a difference in the well-being of the employee in the workplace. (Baka, 2020):

a. Think Critically before writing: In a well-reasoned and carefully written paragraph explain how reading Filaa et al (2017) last week prepared you for reading Baka (2020) this week. [2.00]

b. Provide three salient examples of material that was covered by Filaa et al (2017) that enabled you to jump right in to reading Baka (2020). Explain. [1.50]

c. Opinion: Consider carefully before writing: Although Filaa et al (2017) did not specifically discuss the application of Karasek's model to the occupation of policework; does Baka's (2020) study of police officers in Poland "fit" with the many studies that involved occupational stress in the other professions that Filaa et al (2017) discussed? Write a well-reasoned paragraph in which you carefully explain your opinion on the basis of what you learned from reading Filaa et al (2017) last week and Baka (2020) this week. [2.00]

_____

2. Given: Baka's (2020) use of the term "depression."

a. Consider the definition of "Depression" that was provided in our Companion Glossary for Baka (2020). Copy it here so that you will be able to handily refer to it. [0.50]

b. Read Carefully and Think Critically: Did Baka (2020) operationalize (i.e. give specific meaning to his use of) the term "depression"? Or, was the term "depression" used liberally in order to describe a variety of acquired conditions? In a well-reasoned and carefully written paragraph: Explain whether Baka's (2020) use of the term "depression" is congruous with one or both of the "depressive disorders" listed in the DSM-5? Or, whether Baka (2020) perhaps utilized the term "depression" to refer to other human experiences (in a more colloquial manner)? Explain. [2.00]

c. Apropos of your answer to 2b., provide three examples where Baka's (2020) use of the term "depression" (in the English language) could require further consideration. [1.50]

_____

3. a. Opinion: Consider carefully before writing: After reading the assigned articles: Do you think that the work/life experiences of police officers in Poland is comparable to the work/life experiences of police officers in the USA? Why?/ Why not? Explain. [2.00]

b. Provide two or more examples in order to support the opinion that you provided in 3a and elaborate. [1.50]
