Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 41(8), 1311-1324. http://web.b.ebscohost.com.ezproxy.liberty.edu:2048/ehost/pdfviewer/pdfviewer?sid=b2d75575-0df6-4400-8735-241e5dd64815%40sessionmgr102&vid=23&hid=116 Summary: The article provided results of a continued study. Behavior developments arising from stressful child attachment situations of 243 French mothers and daughters were gathered. The quality of caregiving, attachment development, relationship between mother and child along with influences of maternal distress predict future psychosocial behaviors of middle school children. Insecure, distressed children have behavior problems such as trying to control their parents. How children externalize or internalize stress reflects future behavior issues, attachment relationships, and parental interaction. Strengths or Weaknesses: The validity of individual mother and child reports were valuable tools for problem assessments within the family regarding maladaptive attachment security. Various testing variables were also used to strengthen the results. Evaluation: Prior attachment theories indicated stressful relationships with insecure attachments often lead to children with improper behavior responses. Depression, anger, suicidal thoughts, along with aggressive...

...Positive Behavior Intervention & Support Systems: A Longitudinal Study of Diverse Student Populations Amanda Longhini – Halbin American College of Education Abstract Positive behavior intervention and support systems (PBISS), also referred to as Positive Behavior Support Systems (PBSS), are research and evidence-based systems implemented into various educational settings in order to increase positive behaviors among diverse groups of students within its facility. By implementing a productive responsive classroom approach, where social skills strategies are explicitly taught, modeled, and reinforced to students within the school on a frequent basis, schools experience growth in positive behaviors, reduction in negative behaviors, and an improved climate for parents, students, staff and administration. Understanding the ideology of PBISS, one should be able to analytically examine longitudinal data in order to delineate a renewed focus on behavioral goals within the structure of a school. Positive Behavior Intervention & Support Systems: A Longitudinal Study of Diverse Student Populations For many years, research had been collected to analyze the effects of implementing reward systems for positive behavior in children with emotional and behavioral disorders. With swift interventions and creative incentives, the study demonstrated that such student populations can and do experience a more effective educational experience. Because the studies focused on...

...Case Study Module 2 Lindsey M. Charbonneau Ashford University Abstract Case studies have been used throughout research for preparing all types of people for numerous types of situations they may come in contact with in the professional world. As educators it is important to stay atop of the latest research so we can be prepared to engulf any situation with care, intelligence, and the optimum outcome for the student. The following case studies show possible outcomes for two separate cases dealing with Raoul, a hard of hearing bilingual sweet third grader, and Joe, a tutored in reading pressured by his community involved parents. Both students need a lot of attention from not only the school staff but also their influencing outside forces to help them succeed with the goals each educator has set for them during the current school year. Below are three possible solutions that are very different but hold the very same goal, doing everything within the educator’s power to assist the student in their success. Case Study One Introduction In Level A, Case 1 we have Raoul. Raoul is nine years old and in the third grade. He is a bilingual student that is completely fluent in English and Spanish. Raoul is well liked by both his peers and staff, especially when is translating for his Cuban born parents. Raoul’s challenge in the classroom is due to his being hard of hearing.

...ASSIGNMENT Gorn, Gerald J., The effects of Music in Advertising on Choice Behavior: A Classical Conditioning Approach, Journal of Marketing 46:1 (1982:Winter) p.94 Summary of Gorn, Gerald J., The effects of Music in Advertising on Choice Behavior: A Classical Conditioning Approach, Journal of Marketing 46:1 (1982:Winter) p.94 The research conducted by Gerald J. Gorn is connected with Consumer Behavior through the general topic of learning: how do consumers’ behavior can be influenced by experience. In this case experience can be assimilated with music during advertising or more generally sensory features, which leads us more in depth of the Behavioral Learning Theories that emphasizes the learning process that occurs as consumers are facing external events. Its is to say do these external factors such as music during advertising influence the attention and the process of information, or do they directly takes part of the forming attitude process. Then we can especially focus on the Classical conditioning approach and effects on attitude (if there is) as Gerald J. Gorn does in his research. But before explaining the theory, on which the research is based, let focus on its objectives. As explained earlier, the purpose of the two experiments are to demonstrate if there is a scientific connection between the sensory features added to information in an advertisement and the attitude(s) and preference(s) shaped toward the attitude...

Yet they lack one or a few of these traits. To complement their weaknesses, they find other people in their organization to balance them out. We see this application in the case where Taran Swan lacked relating and sensemaking but has inventory and visioning. Taran Swan at Nickelodeon(8/27/15) CONCEPT OVERVIEW CASE SUMMARY This case describes the launch of Nickelodeon in Latin America and its first 18 months. Swan is shown putting together a team and adjusting the culture of the company. After 18 months, Swan must leave the company because of complications with her pregnancy. On bedrest for 6 months, she must decide if she can continue to run the organization from New York. Other options include placing an interim lead or quitting altogether. If she stays, how will she need to adjust her leadership style and working relationships? This case provides perspective on the pros and cons of an incomplete leader. In addition, this case showcases the effects a new and driven leader can have on the culture of an organization...

...implementation of an Organizational Audit, to take within the current fiscal year. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: When investigating ethical issues, departments that normally handle documentation are being ignored. For starters, the HR and payroll departments are being excluded from matters at hand in this case. An audit should be performed on the organizational structure of the Company. We are thankful that the Controller exposed these flaws while exposing potential fraud within upper management. However, if the Board decides to terminate the executive vice president, the underlying problem still exists. If the Company turns a “blind eye” to the problem at hand, the long-term implications will affect the Company’s image and bottom-line. PROBLEM STATEMENT: The proper chain of command regarding issues, especially when they involve ethics, are not being followed. Key information is withheld from proper management. ALTERNATIVES: Termination: Letting the unethical person go will reinforce the Companies positive image, but the person let go will continue the behavior elsewhere. If it is repeated, the unethical behavior that was committed here within the Company will come to surface again. This can lead to poor stock performance and financial losses as gets out. Turning A Blind Eye: The Company will continue to function normally, without having to acknowledge, the unethical behavior at the level of management. However, it works both ways; the Company turns its eye, which allows...

...Gang Intervention Paper Summary Every-time I hear the word “gang members” I get into an emotional state of mind based on the fact that was how I was living as a teenager in South Central Los Angeles. That’s why I chose to do my signature assignment on gang intervention on junior high and high school campuses. My case study was based on a large urban junior high school. The school was experiencing an increase in gang behavior along with an alarming increase in the number of students bringing weapons onto campus. Once I identified the problem of the school, I then started to collect data. According to Dougherty he states that collecting data is the first step to do. By me not knowing what to do prior to this assignment, I felt that this was definitely the correct protocol that needed to be done before I tried to figure out an appropriate intervention. I then had the idea of creating a reward system as my intervention. I realized that dealing with gang members Interventions should be designed using positive behavioral support in such a way that appropriate behavior is rewarded. I chose to use the Client-Centered Case Consultation process because the consultant is viewed as an expert or specialist who can diagnose and recommend intervention. And for me personally, that is something that I feel I can do naturally based on the situations that I’ve experienced as a child. The one unique approach that I really love about this process is that Dougherty states to use...
