This paper is to offer a substantial review of 10 classic social psychology experiments (listed below). Each of the 10 studies is to be summarized and related to theory, hypothesis, or topic area (or combination of). The conclusion section is to offer a common thread that appears to tie all the studies together. Close with an explanation of what you learned about social psychology from these studies. The paper is to be formatted in APA 6th edition style including an abstract.

The 10 studies correspond to the following website which briefly summarizes each study:
http://www.spring.org.uk/2007/11/10-piercing-insights-into-human-nature.php

1. The Halo Effect
2. Cognitive Dissonance
3. Sherifs? Robber?s Cave Experiment
4. The Stanford Prison Experiment
5. Stanley Milgram?s Obedience Experiment
6. The False Consensus Bias
7. Social Identity Theory
8. Bargaining
9. Bystander Apathy
10. Conformity

I have submitted between one and three reference sources per study (totaling 18 articles). The studies with 3 sources have a clear linkage to the others, particularly studies 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, & 10. The other studies (1, 2, 6, and 8) are no less significant, and cognitive dissonance is perhaps the most notable of all in social psychology.

Singapore's total fertility rate has fallen to a record low; from 1.28 in 2008 to 1.22 in
2009 and 1.16 in 2010. This problem is evident across all three major ethnic groups
in Singapore. It could be traced to people postponing marriage or not getting
married at all. Those who are married also do not have many children.
To solve the problem, the Singapore government is considering new measures to
encourage marriage and procreation. The government may provide incentives for
marriage such as a 50% subsidy for the purchase of HDB flats and a 50% income tax
reduction. To encourage procreation, it may provide free medical services at
government hospitals for child birth, S$10,000 for every child born to a married
couple in Singapore to help with the cost of raising a child, and a 100% subsidy for
the basic education (primary and secondary schools) of the children. The
government may also use sanctions to increase the income tax among the
unmarried working adults as well as increase the restrictions on the purchase of a
HDB flat.

A. Multi-theory analysis of Fisher Paper: This paper is a major writing assignment that synthesizes the various theories that we have studied and discussed this semester. The primary goal is to demonstrate the ability to assess from several theoretical perspectives, describing key events within his life as seen through each theoretical lens, and connect intervention choices to a theory-driven plan. The paper will describe the key events in the author?s life story. A table will be included with columns for six theories and rows for six key events in the author?s life. (You can make the font smaller for your table, but please do NOT make the table landscape.) For example, a key event in Fisher?s story is the onset of sexual abuse. How would that event be interpreted from a system theory perspective? A cognitive/behavioral lens? A conflict theory lens? A resilience theory lens? A crisis theory lens? A strengths theory lens? We review 19 theories so you should select 6 theories that are diverse enough to show a range of lens. Therefore as you are reading the autobiography, you should pay particular attention to key events, how the context of the events could be seen from different theoretical views. The paper should be in Word format and, though length is flexible to what you need to clearly and thoroughly accomplish the assignment, the paper should be around 8-10 pages in length, correctly formatted grammatically and using the latest APA format, and should have headings that describe each gradable issue.
The paper outline should be as follows:
I. Discussion of the book?s key events in the life so far of the author.
II. Table for author with rows of key events and columns for six theories. Each column will then succinctly describe the theoretical explanation for the key event (i.e. sexual abuse row then explains the event from a system theory column, from a crisis theory column).
III. Discussion of the usefulness or difficulties with applying some of the theories to understanding what the author is going through. Remember to incorporate the readings as appropriate to make your case. The purpose of this section is to synthesize the readings and discussions in class with the life stories while keeping an observer role as you observe how well the theories fit the effort to explain the life events. I fully expect that you will find that some events lend themselves more to one theory than another. Be careful to watch for your own bias as to which theory you prefer or know best.
IV. Pick a theory or set of theories and describe a theory-informed intervention for a key event of your choice for the author. Outline how the theory informs your specific interventions that you would use to help the author to navigate effectively through the event.

PLEASE INCLUDE HEADINGS. FOR EACH OF THE 5 PARTS OF THIS PAPER, YOU SHOULD INCLUDE A HEADING. ALSO INCLUDE A HEADING FOR EACH LIFE EVENT THAT YOU CHOOSE.

NO REFERENCE PAGE REQUIRED

Let me know if you have any questions! I can respond pretty quickly to emails.

Thanks!

1. Provide a basic orientation to the theory (domain(s) covered, principles)

2. Describe how the theory explains human development

3. Reflect on how the theory would answer the fundamental questions about human nature, including:
-Is human development continuous or discontinuous?
-Is there one course of development or many?
-Are people shaped more by nature or nurture?
-Can people really change who they are?
-What motivates people to act as they do (thinking, behaving, or feeling)?
-Are people basically good or basically selfish?
-Finally, identify some limitations & suggest some changes

*Use headings and subheadings (when needed)

This a copy of the assignment and documentary of Lamanda.

For this assignment, you are going to read a documentary about Lamanda, who is an adult woman who could be diagnosed with depression. Many factors have contributed to the development of this abnormal disorder. Your task is to identify twelve factors that you believe may have contributed to Lamandas current state of being and apply them to the current psychological perspectives.



For each perspective listed below, you will

include two factors (red flag, building block, etc.) from Lamandas life that would be relevant or of interest to a person subscribing to that perspective and explain how or why that factor illustrates the perspective; in other words, I am requiring that you identify key concepts from each perspective and explain why the concepts fit within the theory
explain why each concept could potentially identify a cause of Lamandas disorders
use appropriate psychological and theoretical terminology


Since Lamandas history is not completely described, you may have to fill in the gaps. For example, not much information is shared about Lamandas relationship with her parents. If you believe that these relationships could have impacted her behavior in some way, you may have to assume certain aspects of that relationship. If you need to assume details about any hypothesized factor, make sure that you identify in your paper that these are assumptions.



You must provide enough detail for your explanations so that I can determine that you understand the differences among the perspectives and understand your logic for the reasons that the anxiety and depression may have developed. For example, if you want to state that under the psychoanalytic perspective Lamandas parents influenced her destructive behavior, you would have to discuss either the role in the Electra conflict, repressed feelings, or impact on his fixation in a psychosexual stage of development or some other specific concept. Points will be deducted from your paper if concepts are not identified within your explanation. These identified concepts help demonstrate that you understand the differences among the theories. Without specific information or concepts, the impact of Lamandas parents can fit under the psychoanalytic, behavioral, humanistic, biological and even sociocultural perspectives.





Current perspectives (use each perspective, describing 2 concepts within each, 5 points per concept):



Psychoanalytic

Behavioral

Cognitive

Humanistic

Biological/evolutionary

Sociocultural


After you have completed this portion of the assignment, explain the complexity of human behavior and how one factor alone probably could not account for any behavior. (2 points)



To earn all five points for a concept (remember that you will identify and apply 12 different concepts), you must have included or addressed the following:

relevant concept for the respective perspective (1 point present, 0 points absent)

clear and accurate explanation of the concept (1 point present, 0 points absent)

explanation distinguishes this concept/perspective from the other five perspectives (1 point present, 0 points absent)

logical explanation of how the concept could help understand the respective behavior (in this case, Lamandas mental illness) (1 point present, 0 points absent)

use of appropriate terminology within the explanation (1 point present, 0 points absent)



To earn both points for the human complexity explanation, you must include the following:



ideas must be thoroughly explained (1 point present, 0 points absent)

explanation of eclectic approach (1 point present, 0 points absent)



Grammar This paper needs to be typed and double-spaced. Proofread your paper before submitting it (3 points). To earn:

3 points - few (2 or less) errors in grammar, punctuation, organization, and formatting

2 points - some (3 - 5 errors) errors in grammar, punctuation, organization, and formatting

1 point - many (6 or more) errors in grammar, punctuation, organization, and formatting









CASE HISTORY

Lamanda is a 22 year old woman who has recently graduated from Ohio State University with a psychology degree. She is currently working as a waitress at a popular restaurant near campus, and says she has always planned to attend law school.

Lamanda was born in Detroit, Michigan. Her mother is an African American who is an assistant manager at a grocery store. Her father is Caucasian and works at a department store. Lamanda reports that she was a shy, unattractive child, but that in general her early childhood was "pretty happy." Lamanda says that during elementary school, she was constantly harassed by classmates about being of mixed race. Still, she says that she felt very close to her family during this period. She says she feels especially close to her mother, though she typically approaches her father "when I have a big problem."

When Lamanda was 14, her family moved to Royal Oak, a working class suburb outside of Detroit. At about this time, Lamanda began to blossom intellectually. Her grades were consistently very good, and she was a member of the National Honor Society. She says she remembers this as the happiest period of her life. Lamanda also bloomed physically. She became popular with boys, although she reports frequent anxiety when she was unsure of how to deal with their advances. Lamanda was especially distressed by some strong sexual advances from her 47 year old softball coach during her sophomore year of high school. Lamanda insists, however, that this "incident" is in the past and that she has not thought about it for years.

Throughout high school, Lamanda concealed her mixed heritage from her classmates by not inviting friends over to her home. She admits that she is embarrassed by this, and she suspects that her parents realized what she was doing. She now insists that "I am not black or white, I am me."

During her junior year of high school, Lamanda had her first serious boyfriend, Morris Silverstein, who was a high school classmate. She describes the relationship as warm and supportive and they became sexually active during her senior year of high school. She describes the sex as "good, considering our age." Morris was accepting of Lamanda's ethnic heritage, and became good friends with Lamanda's father. Like many young people, Lamanda seldom discussed sexual or romantic issues with her parents, preferring to keep her parents out of her personal life.

Morris broke up with Lamanda during her freshman year of college explaining that he wanted to be able to date other people. Lamanda says she coped with the break up "pretty well" and she and Morris have remained good friends. In college, Lamanda has dated sporadically and she acknowledges some bisexual experimentation. Lamanda says that she prefers heterosexual relationships, however. She has been dating Brett for more than a year, but she says that he seems to be less committed to the relationship than he used to be. Although he seems to be making an effort to be supportive, Lamanda reports that he tries to be positive but always ends up criticizing her.

Although Lamanda appears to be a natural athlete, she leads a relatively sedentary lifestyle. She was the star pitcher for her high school softball team, although she quit abruptly during her junior year. Last year, she joined a recreational softball league, but she quit after only a few weeks, explaining that she was just not enjoying herself.

Lamanda does not like her job at the restaurant, but seems unwilling to look for other employment. She says that she feels "very jittery" whenever she gets ready for work, and she uses any excuse to take days off. She also refuses to associate with fellow employees, and reports getting very anxious when shewas given a surprise birthday party.

Lamanda works the evening shift, and she often does not get home until 3am. In turn, she routinely sleeps in until 1 or 2 in the afternoon. Recently, she has lost interest in cleaning her house and seldom cooks for herself. She also attends less to her personal grooming. She now avoids seeing both Morris and her parents, fearing that that they will disapprove of her. She also says she has lost interest in further education.

About two months ago, Lamanda became friends with a social worker who frequents the restaurant. After a protracted conversation, he recommended that she seek professional assistance.
