Unit VI Case Study Most would agree that parenting is a lifelong job. The parent's obligations begin once the baby is conceived and seemingly never end, even after his or her child becomes an adult. Suppose that you are the parent in each of the following scenarios. Based on what you have learned from this unit's materials, answer the following questions for each scenario by explaining how you would effectively handle each situation. Note: While it is understood different people and even entire cultures have different parenting styles, your answers should be based on the research and theories presented in this unit. Describe the stage of cognitive development of the child in each scenario. Explain how you would address the child and the situation. Will you use punishment in any of the situations? What tactics would be the most useful considering your child's level of cognitive development? Scenario 1: Jimmy screams when the batteries die on his Avengers motorcycle. Previously, his mother had been able to put the motorcycle away and have Jimmy immediately engage in playing with something else. However, she has noticed that he is not doing that this time. He continues to scream even though the motorcycle has been put in a drawer. As his parent, how would you respond? Scenario 2: An 8-year-old boy and his 10-year-old brother are told to share three cans of soda pop. The 8-year-old becomes angry when his 10-year-old brother takes two of the cans and gives the 8-year-old only one can. The 10-year-old grabs two glasses and pours one soda into the two glasses and gives it to the 8-year-old. Everything is fine now as they both have two soda pop drinks. How do you address each child? Scenario 3: Your 21-year-old daughter comes home from college and excitedly shares that she is quitting school to invest more time in her social media career. In fact, she reveals that she will be quitting school, despite only having 1 year left to complete her bachelor's degree. (She does not see the need for her degree any longer, as her Instagram followers have increased exponentially since she has begun doing some of the popular Tik Tok challenges.) She has decided to throw away her former career plans and become a full-time social media influencer. Now, her life is all set! (What is your reaction?) Your combined answers for each scenario must be at least 150 words, for a minimum of 450 words for the entire assignment (not including the title and reference pages). Your answers should include an insightful and thorough analysis and present a strong argument with evidence. You must use at least one source to support your analysis. This may be your textbook or another scholarly source. All sources used will be properly cited. Your case study, including all references, will be formatted in APA style. Unit VII Article Critique According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2019, a new strain of the coronavirus disease was discovered. Also known as COVID-19, this strain of the virus had previously not been identified in humans. A worldwide pandemic ensued as the virus quickly spread across the globe, impacting countless lives, including many individuals in the United States. In an effort to contain the virus, numerous countries' leaders encouraged social distancing, which is an infection control strategy aimed to help lessen the spread of a contagious disease. This directive was given by leaders in the United States as well. Two schools of thought emerged. In fact, many people were skeptical about the authenticity of this pandemic due to perplexing and often conflicting messages that were received across social media and news outlets. Therefore, numerous Americans assumed business as usual and maintained their daily living and social rituals. On the other hand, scores of others quickly retreated to their homes, embracing the warning provided by some of the nation's top infectious disease experts. This assignment provides you with an opportunity to analyze a real-world, peer-reviewed psychology journal article that contains research which examines motivation, emotion, and social psychology. Begin by visiting the Waldorf Online Library to locate and choose a journal article in which motivation and emotion are viewed under the lens of social psychology. The article must be peer-reviewed and should be no older than 7 years. A good place to start your search is the PsycARTICLES database or the Academic Search Ultimate database. You can access these databases from the Databases box on the library homepage. For assistance in locating your article, you may find the following Finding an Article (online tutorial) helpful. Once you have chosen your article, you will write an article critique that addresses the following elements. Explain the research methodology that was used in the study. Discuss social factors that influence people or groups to conform to the actions of others. Indicate how behaviors and motivation are impacted by the presence of others. (How does this apply to COVID-19?) Indicate the structures of the brain that are involved in emotion and motivation. (How could a person's emotions related to fear drive their behaviors during this pandemic?) PSY 1010, General Psychology 3 Examine the article's generalizability to various areas of psychology. Why would some people choose to follow the orders to avoid social contact and others allow desire for human interaction to be their driving force? In addition, your article critique should clearly identify the article's premise and present an insightful and thorough analysis with strong arguments and evidence. You should present your own informed and substantiated opinion on the article's content. You should use the textbook as your second source to support your analysis and to supplement any information that is not contained in the journal article. Your article critique must be a minimum of three pages in length, not including the title and reference pages. All sources used must be properly cited. Your article critique, including all references, must be formatted in APA style
