Unit 9 project Jan and Ken Case Study 1. Using the chapters on language and emotions to help frame your answer, suggest two ways that Ken could open this conversation more productively. For instance, clearly expressing his emotions and using “I” language. Ken could have tried opening the conversation more productively by saying something like, “Jan, do you have a few minutes? (This acknowledges to Jan that ken feels that her time is valuable), I would appreciate if we could talk about a problem that I am having.

PART 3: SUMMARY 1. Which one is the most appropriate definition of metonymy a. Metonymy is the use of comparision of one thing with another. Metonymy is the use of word or phrase to indicate something different from the literal meaning. Metonymy is the use of the name of one thing to substitute for that of another to which it is related.
You would have to rely on the patient giving you the information for it not is socially desirable or have demand characteristics. On the other hand, it is better than individual differences as people may have the same thought patterns and processes. You can only obtain this information by self reports, which would probably give both of those issues; social desirability and demand characteristics. These would affect your results and therefore they would not be reliable or valid. If you were using the cognitive approach you would only get qualitative data which could be a problem as not everyone interprets the same answer in the same way.
Meanwhile, McCloskey believes that the only conclusion we can reach is that something caused the universe to exist. From reading his article, I feel that he does not formulate a valid argument as to how the power exists or how it created the universe. He goes onto to describe any creator that could exist is either a powerful being or a muddler and is not a god, but an evil spirit or a being that had very disastrous consequences due to their limitations ( McCloskey, pg.64). McCloskey closes his argument of the cosmological argument by stating that belief in either is not a source of strength or security ( McCloskey,
ARGYLES THEORY ON COMMUNICATION Communication can be explained as the flow of information and ideas from one person to another. It involves a sender transmitting an idea or information or a feeling to a receiver. Communication will only occur if the receiver understands the exact information or idea that the sender intended to transmit. Effective communication can be explained in argyles theory of communication cycle Argyle believed that interpersonal communication is like learning to drive, a skill which can be developed. It involves building an understanding of listening, observing and reflecting on what another person may be trying to communicate.
In my opinion, touch is important but should be used wisely. As mentioned before, depending on the social status of the sender and receiver, maintain space and proximity will help or deter an individual. Lastly, paralanguage is essential in how an individual decodes a message. The inflection and tone of the voice should complement the conversation and
Therefore if/when their behaviour/reactions change or differ from the norm you will be able to notice straight away and explore what or whether there is a problem that needs addressing. Aiv: Explain why it is important to find out about an individual’s: A: Communication and language needs: It is important to remember that not everybody communicates in the same way and also you need to make sure you are able to communicate effectively with the individual’s you support in the best way for them. First you must recognise that each individual is unique; therefore there will be differences and influencing factors in the way each person communicates. Influencing factors that may affect the way an individual communicates are: Cultural differences Acknowledging and responding to the cultural aspects of an individual’s identity and care needs are likely to enhance communication. By finding out about a person’s cultural background will give you an insight as to the best way to communicate with them.
Development of psychological assessment measures Introduction The process of developing a psychological measurement assessment might seem like a daunting task, however I believe that a well-designed measurement tool will allow the user access to information that is both useful and practically applicable, thus making the decision making process less strenuous. Define the purpose The best way to proceed in the development of a test is to not have a predetermined idea in your head about what you want to add and what you wish to test, to as far as possible eliminate or reduce the possibility for bias to transpire. The best way is to lay out a plan for the design out on paper, take time to think through the purpose of the test that you wish to develop. The same rules applied in a project, by laying out the action plan and defining the activities and sub activities, apply here. Steps in the development of a psychological measure PHASE SPECIFIC STEPS Step 1 Planning Specify the aim of measure Define the content of the measure Develop the test plan Step 2 Item Writing Write the items Review the items Step 3 Assembling, pretesting of experimental version Arrange the items Finalise length Answer protocols Develop administration instruction Pre-test the experimental version of the measure Step 4 Item analysis Determine item difficulty values Determine item discrimination values Investigate item bias Identify items for final pool Step 5 Revision and standardisation of version Revise test and item content Select the items for the standardisation version Revise and standardise administration and scoring procedures Compile the final version Administer the final version to a representative sample of the target population Step 6 Technical evaluation and establish norms Establish validity
