Unit 9 Assignment: Case studies of Emily and Mr. Smith Kaplan University School of Arts and Sciences PS 360- 02 Introduction ABA short for Applied Behavior Analysis formerly known as behavior modification is the use of behaviorism to modify human behaviors, as a learning or treatment process (Cooper, Heron & Heward, 2007). It is a science by which the basis of the analysis of behavior are applied consistently to better significant behaviors and in which experimentation is used to identify the variables responsible for change in a behavior (Cooper, Heron & Heward, 2007). Behavior analyst focus on the observable relationship of the target behavior to the environment, and thus use methods associated with ABA to change said behavior (Cooper, Heron & Heward, 2007). In applied behavior analysis, all experiments should include: (1) one or more participants, (2) one or more behaviors (dependent variable), (3) at least one setting, (4) a system for measuring the behavior and ongoing visual analysis of data, (5) at least one treatment or intervention, (6) manipulations of the independent variable so that its effects on the dependent variable may be quantitative or qualitative analyzed and (7) an intervention that will benefit the participant in some way (Cooper, Heron & Heward, 2007). During this paper two case studies will be recapped, target behaviors will be identified, each case will be within a subject experimental design where the participant will serve as their own experimental control and for each case there will be a provided systematic approach to clearly identify the problem (in this case an appropriate, quantifiable target behavior that is in need of change).
Individual Systems and Multicultural Approaches CJHS/400 January 29, 2015 Instructor Systems and Multicultural Approaches The systems theory is the general study of interdisciplinary systems, which goal is to apply principles to every type of systems of different levels and all types of research fields. There is an advantage of the system theory that has the potential to give framework that is trans disciplinary for an exploration that is very critical of the relationship among conceptions and perceptions, and also about the words they declare to represent. Studies of human perception and cognitive development are starting to count on the systems approach more and more. In psychotherapy and the treatment there are several of approaches needed. Each situation and person is very different; this means that not every treatment is the same for everyone to be effective.
The focus groups will focus on basic discussions tailored around the findings in the questionnaire and auditing processes. The advantages and disadvantages for this form of assessment have already been covered in the organizational analysis. They will be similar here. It will be used to further determine where employees feel they may be the strongest or weakest with regards to HIPAA laws and compliance. The three forms of assessment used will provide the management group, T & D staff and HIPAA SME with the information necessary for them to formulate an accurate picture of the deficiencies that exist in current HIPAA practices, which will in turn be used to outline some of the desired outcomes of the training

Assignment: Unit 4 The purpose of this paper is to utilize the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to properly identify target behaviors, reinforcement systems, and behavior modification strategies as they relate to three separate case scenarios. The first case scenario involving Bobby identifies and defines his target behavior, discusses operant conditioning as it relates to his behavior as well as to reinforcement, and explains two schedules of reinforcement and its effects. The second case involving Jackie identifies her target behavior discussing the conditioning involved accounting for said behavior, and explains the strategy used in modifying it. The third case involving Emma identifies the principles underlying her target behavior, describes the applied theory used to modify her behavior, and explains extinction as it relates to her case. Case 1: Bobby In the case of Bobby, his father would like to help him increase the frequency of cleaning his room, thus the target behavior in this case would be cleaning his room.
THE EFFECTS OF TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP AND RESISTANCE ON ORGANISATIONAL CHANGE. ABSTRACT Resistance is a central element of organisational change. Resistance in any organisation is regarded as a significant element to all change management decisions. Organisational resistance through an effective organisational culture and leadership that’s transformational, can overcome preliminary obstacles by managing change initiatives. This study has found leadership, communication and participation as three essential elements to managing resistance to change programs.
Brian Griffin Becoming a Conflict Competent Leader 2/16/13 Chapter one, titled “The What and Why of Conflict Competent Leaders”, provides an overview of the term “conflict competent” and sets the scene for the need of conflict competent leaders in organizational settings. Runde and Flanagan use a specific definition of conflict to focus their book around. The definition, adapted from Capobianco, Davis and Kraus, describes conflict as “any situation in which people have incompatible interests, goals, principles, or feelings” (Runde & Flanagan, 2007, pp. 4). Therefore, a conflict competent leader understands the principles, strengths and weaknesses of conflict and models appropriate learned behavior to foster a healthy organizational environment (Runde & Flanagan, 2007).
I will give some synopses on the pedagogic research that has been done on this topic, but also strongly emphasize on each of the three perspectives. I will provide examples, evidence, and information on how this topic has been involved or has played an integral part within the psychological, biological, and sociological realms. After dedicating a fair amount of content on the scholastic research and the encapsulation of the topic, I will then move forward by conveying my opinion and offer some critiques on the research I examined on juvenile delinquency and the impact of family structure. In addition, I will then express any final thoughts I had on this topic, and evaluate how much research on delinquency and family structure was available within each of the
Researchers have tested and advanced his theories and many existing views in cognitive psychology are based on Piaget’s theories. Piaget anticipated that cognitive development and development of mental abilities, happens as we become accustomed to the altering world around us. He described adaption as the nonstop process of using the environment to learn and of learning to alter to changes that come about in the environment. He suggested that adaptation consists of two related process which he called assimilation and accommodation. These two ways are the processes in which we interconnect with the environment.
This essay will discuss theories of psychology, looking at behaviourist and humanistic approaches and describe some psychological treatments involved within them. Finally, this essay will then compare therapies with a biological treatment and discuss whether psychological treatments are the most appropriate and effective for mental health. Behaviourism is defined by Watson (1913) as the whole set of events leading to a process of adjustment to the environment. “According to the behavioural model, abnormal behaviour is learned in the same way as normal behaviour.” (Rice and Haralambos, 2000 : 164). This meant that all behaviour is learned and can be adapted.
