Intervention for curbing obesity in children

The epidemic of children obesity is increasing at an alarming rate. Overweight children face risks of health complications such as hypertension, arthritis, diabetes, cardiovascular and metabolic issues. Other issues that are caused by obesity include eating disorders and mental health issues such as depression. The above effects are serious and that is why interventions need to be adopted. The intervention will be a school-based intervention and it targets children from 4-15 years. Obesity is a result of different factors. The social, economic, biological, and cultural factors contribute to the obesity problem. Therefore, intervention has to be holistic in order ...

Response 1

In response 1, the student does try to explain how the author of the article approaches counseling. He is keen to note that the author somewhat adopts a holistic approach which incorporates a little bit of everything. However, Dr. Thomas does not necessarily adopt a holistic approach. Rather, he tends to employ different approaches in different settings. He observes “the approaches I employ include psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, Jungian and other humanistic approaches” (Thomas, 2008). The author does acknowledge that not a single approach can work for everyone but rather approaches should be tailor-made to suit the different ...

The debate between Nature and Nurture within psychology is a great concern to a large extent, particularly in regards to the extent to which selected aspects of behavior are a product of either acquired (learned characteristics) or inherited (genetic). All aspects of human behavior are in one way or another affected by both nurture and nature (N & N). To start with, it is coherent to first differentiate the two terms; Nurture is a term that refers to all environmental influences after conception which in this case could be an experience, while Nature basically is that which is generic or ...

Learning is key to human development and behavior. Behavioral psychology is one of the methods for understanding how learning develops and the understanding of individuals. Learning is a modification of behaviors due to consistent practice and requires the interaction of behavior and environment to yield changes. Assessment of learning is performed by means of tests that quantitatively measure achievements; whether they are newly acquired mental or physical skills. Learning and performance are related but separate subjects, and learning itself may be state dependent, meaning, that the conditions under which material was learned must be replicated in order for that ...

Corporate culture is a set of beliefs, values, norms, goals and ways of finding solutions, shared by the employees (members) of any organization(Schein, 2010). An organization culture provides the employees the meaning and the internal rules of behavior. When these beliefs, rules, customs and norms have been accepted, shared and circulated within the organization they represent the culture of the organization. The culture of an organization greatly influences ethical decision making process within the organization. That is, if the organization culture encourages unethical behavior, then the employees may as well act in an unethical manner alongside making ...

Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy that aids people to address dysfunctional or unhealthy thinking habits, feelings and behaviors. CBT has been known to be effective in the treatment of psychological and psychiatric disorders. These psychological and psychiatric disorders may range from problems such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorders, eating disorders to even drug misuse. According to Simone (2013), Cognitive behavioral therapy is well-suited to address the varied and often longstanding problems of patients with psychological disorders such as Personality Disorders for several reasons.

Groups and teams are a major part of any organization. It is important for managers to understand the behavior and nature of groups so that they can better manage them. This is because most of the functions in an organization require a great extent of teamwork and coordination if they are to run smoothly (Chaneta, 2009). Group pressures greatly influence the behavior of the members, and thus their overall work performance. This paper, therefore, concentrates on the major concepts of group behavior.

One of the key issues influencing group behavior is the size of a group (Chaneta, 2009). Large ...

Prisons were introduced in the 1700s as correctional facilities to punish and mould the behavior of lawbreakers. A prison administrator is an individual charged with the responsibility of maintaining order in a prison. Titles such as superintendent, governor, and warden are used in reference to prison administrators. The most important goals of prison administrators are maintaining control over the prison system, offering care, and managing custody of the inmates (Cornelius, 2010). The achievement of these goals, however, depends on factors that affect the administrators. These factors include the problem of overpopulation in the facilities, issues among inmates, and inadequate ...

In the Context of human and personality development, the role of psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic theories cannot be underrated. The psychoanalytic theory seeks to explain the personality of an individual by analyzing the various psychosexual stages involved during their personal development. Central to the theories of psychoanalytic are the efforts of Sigmund Fred who proposed that people mostly operates from three distinct states of being: the id which seeks self-gratification; the superego which seeks to do what is morally right; and the ego, the rational mediator between id and the superego (Fred, 2011). These theories are vital in defining the ...

It was in a nice afternoon that I had sat in a restaurant with a colleague after work. He is a man who is usually conservative and I could not predict what was up for discussion. However, being the two of us in a shade, I believed this day we would share a lot with the man.

Following the conservative nature of the friend, I was mindful of what he was about to share with me. It was not a guarantee that he had something in particular that he wanted us to share since I still doubted how he ...

The country of choice is South Africa and the article will articulate three aspects of interactions in South Africa. Business interactions are highly influenced by human behavior and cultural beliefs of different communities in South Africa.

South Africans are mostly conservative in dressing during business meetings. This is because of an influence of the African culture, which demands a high level of decency and mutual respect during serious interactions. This implies ...

This essay provides a commentary on the perceptions of racial differences among children. The argument follows a reflective review of two reports. It will prove that in children, the race factor plays an important function during friendship selection and behavior interpretation.

I am not surprised by the results from the reports. This is because children have a tendency of making their friendship selections based on their view of the aggregate society. For instance, they are aware of the fact that adults have fewer interracial than intra-racial relations. Therefore, the children have not only internalized their cultural views of race, ...

Gabe, J., & Monaghan, L. F. (2013). Key concepts in medical sociology. London: SAGE.

The writing Gabe and Monaghan is relevant to the topic of interest since it addresses the key concepts on the subject area. The main subjects of concern here is that sociological studies have become more oriented in not only social status of a community but further relate that to the health, illness and state of health care facilities in a society. It further lays emphasis on how the social distributions in health or disorders ...

Ethical situations require that businesses make choices out of competing interests. It is in the best interests of businessmen to foster virtue oriented ethical mindset. The paper will explore various ethical virtues in business field. The paper proposes the argument that the development if a universal law governing business ethics is difficult. Realization of ethics thus depends on the virtues of the practitioners in the areas of businesses. Still, the paper fosters the argument that ethics is individual born, and depends mostly on how individuals respond to situations.

The exact meaning of ethics is hard to capture. What is “ ...

Social process theory states that criminal behavior is as a result of the socialization process including the socio psychological interaction by the criminal with social organizations and institutions. The social process theory suggests that criminals opt to be involved in crime as a result of poor academic performance, pressure from colleagues, family issues, and legal entanglements in addition to other challenging situations. The theory mentions that anyone can be a criminal and is supported by the effect of family on young ones whereby there is a connection between behavioral problems and childhood experiences of hostility. Social structure theory states ...

Biopsychology – Is a new study that has been developing over the past 50 years. It is close to the fundamental science psychology, but biopsychology directly studies how can we increase the speed of studying by means of stimulating brain nerves. The ones who study this course take a close look at how the behavior of an individual changes due to specific areas of brain being damaged as well as the influence of alcohol and drugs on brain.

Different methods for research are implemented. For example special methods to visualize the living brain: Contrast X-rays, MRI, Magnetoencephalography, Positron Emission Tomography, ...

Last week, we had to dismiss our finance manager, James Morris, for embezzling company funds. I insisted that the Internal Audit department, which discovered the fraud, investigate the matter further, and preliminary findings indicate that the practice is widespread and, in fact, known to occur in the Finance Department. I am therefore proposing that we revise our company policy to ensure stricter enforcement of our company ethics and create a culture that not only prevents people from engaging in fraud but also ensures people feel confident to report suspicious behavior that may indicate the presence of fraud. This new approach ...

Child development is an area that was largely ignored for a very long time throughout history. Children were not given much thought because they were considered as smaller versions of adults and therefore incorporated in any study that targeted adults. Their cognitive abilities, language and physical growth which normally take place early on in life was not given the necessary attention. As theorists and scientists warmed up to this area of scientific research, so many theories came up in a bid to explain child growth and development and one such theory is B. F. Skinner’s operant conditioning. It ...

The current society is oriented to work, in a capitalism kind of state. After attaining maturity, adults are expected to engage in some form of productive work. What we do affects who we are and what we go on to become later on in life. The relationship between an individual and his working environment is quite important and can determine by the health care of the individual. Work place adjustment is guided by research programs in vocational psychology.

According to Dawis & Lofquist (1984), work is a concept between an individual and the work place. The interaction between the two ...

Behavioral economists examine choices that consumers make that are not economically rational. Economists generally assume that people are rational; that is, they weigh the benefits and costs of an action and decide on an action that brings more benefits. However, behavioral economists, Herbert A. Simon argues that the rationality of individuals is a subject to the information they posses, the cognitive limitations of their minds, and the available time they have to make a decision (Sexton 239). Simon also advanced two cognitive styles, satisficers and maximizers. Maximizers often take longer to make decisions because of the need to maximize ...

Temperament means certain characteristics and aspects, associated with one’s personality. It is believed that a child is born with them and they persist throughout his lifetime. Temperament is also often associated with one’s emotions, for example, nervousness, joy, etc. According to Chess and Thomas (1977), there are three temperament styles in children: - Easy (positive mood; adapts easily) - Difficult (negative reaction; cries frequently) - Slow-to-warm-up (rather negative; adapts with difficulty)

Chess and Thomas identified the nine temperament traits in children as follows:

- Activity level (determines how active a child usually is) - Distractibility (the ability of a child to concentrate and pay attention during the ...

How does society view variant sexual behaviors today?

Variant sexual behavior is a term that is usually used to refer to sexual behaviors that are deemed abnormal since most people do not practice them. Although most people view such behaviors as abnormal and unjustified, most parts of the society today have come to view and accept these behaviors. This is because individuals have remained numb to these behaviors which tend to flood the media and spread every day (Write work contributors, 1).

Consequently, if individuals in present day society were really opposed to these behaviors, they could be determined to change the worsening situation. This has not ...

Question 1

Disruptive behavior problems include violence and aggression and are connected to various difficulties a child is facing in the school environment such as poor academic performance and problems in peer relationships. These disruptive behaviors normally affect the child, his or her family members as well as classmates at school. However, instilling the child with social skills and minimizing aggressiveness can effectively solve these problems. Social skills programs can provide the child with a range of skills required to cope with school environment, both socially and academically. One of the important skills learnt in program is the problem solving skills, ...

Human beings develop from tiny particles into a full human being with functional organs. During the development stages, human beings encounter social, psychological and emotional problems. When a child is born, the first person the baby sees and knows is the mother. This shows that the mother of a child has more responsibility to the child than any other person in the life of the child. Belsky puts it that the relationship between a child and the mother is one that full of cooperation, mutual understanding and one free of conflicts.

Any challenges from these expectations may be treated ...

Social Distance Theory

Social distance can be described as a propensity to approach or withdrawal from a group. The division of people based on a social class, ethnicity, race, and gender can be described as a social distance that prevails within or out of the societies. The differentiated behavior of people that leads them to their segregation with another person or persons of the society is a social distance (Prandy, 2003). For instance if a person is not able to mix up due to race, gender, ethnicity or social class then he will be regarded as a person who is socially distant ...

Traits are defined as the actions, thoughts and feelings which distinguish individuals from each other. They are the internal characteristics of a person which correspond to the behavior of a person. Individual traits remain stable throughout the life span of a person. The adaptive processes of a person lead to changes in the characteristic behavior of the person. Different theories have been proposed to explain the personality traits. These theories include the human motivation theory and the whole person theory.

Personality researchers such as D.W Fiske (1949) and Goldberg (1981) proposed five broad categories of personality traits, which were ...

In compliance with Abacus’ mission statement, which emphasizes the importance of customer service, this Code of Conduct will instruct employees on the unacceptable forms of behavior. Because Abacus is transitioning from the manufacturing industry to a company oriented on customer service, employees are expected to maintain a high level of professionalism, performance, and responsible behavior at the workplace. However, according to Abacus’ belief in the positive discipline approach, the company also informs the employee about their rights, the company’s responsibility in improving problematic behavioral patterns, and the outcomes of such disciplinary actions.

The development rate of children is often an impressive thing to explore. There are remarkable discoveries one can make during the transition period of children. As they move from one stage of development to another, they explore and learn new things. They are exposed to different environments, which equip them further with the basic knowledge that they require in their growth. The more they are exposed, the more they become experienced and are able to deal with challenges that face them. In this paper, I made observations of two groups of children playing during their holiday. I made keen ...

The Robert Feldman’s book "Psychology and Your Life” effectively draws the students to the aspect which connects their psychology to their respective professions and personal lives in that context. The Fallen Athlete case study at the end of chapter 2 definitely supports the concept of Neuroscience and Behavior. The questions concern the function of the brain and the and the definite functions of the neural systems. The answer to these questions solely illustrates the concern under which the neural systems are concerned with all the human behavior.

Concerning the athlete case, the question concerning the explanation concerning the ...

REFLECTION PAPER INPSYCHOLOGY

I am reminded of a line in Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities that says “A wonderful fact to reflect upon, that every human creature is constituted to be that profound secret and mystery to every other” (GoodReads.com, 2013) when in fact psychology aims to uncover the secrets and mysteries. Yes, I believe it is not possible for anyone, even professional psychologist themselves, to uncover all the secrets and mysteries of a person. However, I believe that psychology helps in understanding behaviors of people.

Upon reflection of some of the topics discussed in class ...

Hypocrisy paradigm refers to a research methodology that is used to test any dissonance theory that arouses conflicts by having people publicly promote a socially desirable behavior and then they are made aware that they have not always exhibited that exact behavior in the past (Stone & Hernandez, 2008).

In the induced compliance paradigm, it is assumed that the dissonance or conflict is aroused when a person says or does something that is contrary to a prior attitude or belief (Brock, 2005). It is from the recognition of prior belief and attitude that is believed that one would not engage ...

The question on the social system of humans depends on several factors. These factors include: religion, evolution, necessity and environment. Different religions have different views on how humans are supposed to associate with one another, for instance Christianity advocates for monogamous relationships while Islamic religion encourages polygamous relations. This means that those prescribe to a given religious view tend to behavior to the prescribed social behavior, it therefore cannot be said with certainty at this point that humans are monogamous or polygamous.

The social behavior of humans cannot be compared to that of other species since humans have a power of ...

Gabrielle Carlson’s “Early Onset Bipolar Disorder” (2005) article explains the certainty in diagnosing prepubertal children as a delicate matter. As an accurate diagnosis turns childhood into a minefield, a misdiagnosis belittles the complexities of children. Applying science and rooting characteristics out of a child is burdened with flukes. There is more arguing about a child not having a disorder than there is in accepting how an undeveloped youth can be diagnosed.

A prepubertal child should not be diagnosed with a bipolar disorder because he may grow out of it. It’s a flippant excuse but also the most ...

This study is an expansion on the initially formulated attachment theory by John Bowlby (1980). As compared to the previous literature in this realm, this research aimed at analyzing the impact of attachment on friendship and coping behavior of individuals which have not been extensively addressed by other studies in depth. This is because of the underlying fact that there are many studies which focus on analyzing the impact of attachment style on romantic relationships whereas there are very few elaborate studies which emphasize on assessing the impact of attachment on friendship and coping. For this purpose, this study ...

An issue of great importance to me is how media and its current portrayal of teenagers affects them. Issues like alcohol consumption, drug use, bullying, teenage pregnancy, violence, gangs, etc. are frequently shown on the airwaves, and often even on programs aimed at teenagers. Frequently, it even seems to be glamorized (as in many video games, such as the Grand Theft Auto series). This leads to a perception of these behaviors as “normal” and abstaining from them, by default, “abnormal”. This leads to peer pressure and pressure from society for teenagers (and others) to partake in such activities.

The industry I will explain the issues undertaken by CKDBS is that of the pharmaceutical industry. This industry is tasked with manufacturing many types of drugs. The components of these drugs will vary from one area to another one. The concentration of the drugs has been done in order to prescribe the drugs to the clients basing on the severity of the disease. The concentration will also be done in order to vary prices. Another variation is the originality of the drugs. In drug manufacturing, there are those drugs which are considered to be original and effective and those ...

The relations at home help in determining the behavior depicted in different situations encountered in the daily life. Extensive studies have analyzed the impact of parent-child relationship in determining a child’s personality, development, adjustment style and several other characteristics (Locke, 2008). In this regard, attachment theory put forward by John Bowlby (1980) examines the attachment bond between the mother and child developed in the early years of childhood. According to the attachment theory, this attachment style impacts the behaviors exhibited later in life. Several studies have further expanded on this theory by assessing different dimensions such as adult ...

A person has either normal or abnormal behavior. Normal behavior of a person is when an individual conforms to common behavior in the society. This varies depending on the situation, place, time and the person. For instance, an individual singing in an office during the meeting time is not normal, whereas the same person singing in the church is normal. On the other hand, abnormal behavior is the behavior that is socially unacceptable, maladaptive, and distressing that evolve as a result of cognitions. Scientists define the abnormal behavior as the that which deviates against the culture of the society ...

1. Differences between the psychoanalyst and the behaviorist observation

a) The psychoanalyst argument: Psychoanalyst observes that each stage in life development is focused on solving a given conflict. It is due to poor development of trust arising from unreliable care taker of the child, which makes her feel unsecure and not safe to instances, such as darkness. The solution given is that caretakers should always work to create trust in the development of the child.

b) The behaviorist argument: The behavioral theorist would argue that development in the child’s behavior entirely depends on her environmental interactions. Fear or ...

Solving ethical dilemmas comes with a decision making challenge that uphold the values an organization views as most significant. It involves a consideration of actions relative o the consequences. It involves making decisions that put the values of an organization at stake. Coming up with such decisions involves a consideration of staff loyalty, fidelity and honesty. Such a decision should uphold the critical values whilst minimizing the consequences in the behavioral conduct of the workers. Besides having clear vision and mission statements, most organizations lack an ‘ethos’ element in ethical maintenance. They lack communication of beliefs, existing ...
