How would you address this situation when working with others who deny and/or minimize the impact of substance use? How would you feel if this denial/minimization continued?

When it comes to the idea of problems of social impact, it is a well-known fact that substance use/alcohol has a significant impact not only for the user but also those in his/her circles .

However, what may be surprising is that those in his/her circles may help to perpetuate the problem  as well. Collins speaks to this idea when family members, employers, friends etc. either deny the impact of substance use or minimizes the consequences of such use. In your role as a human service professional, how would you address this situation when working with others who deny and/or minimize the impact of substance use? How would you feel if this denial/minimization continued?

DISCUSSION
1. Summarize the main findings of your experiment
Was there a decrease or increase in the number of reinforcements used? Did the desired behavior decrease or increase for each of the rats? What does this represent? Why did this happen? Were there any differences between the male and female rats?
2. Relate these findings to your initial hypotheses
3. Relate these findings to the literature
4. Discuss the strengths and limitations of your study
It’s usually best to have discuss more strengths than limitations and to have about 3-4 strengths and 2-3 limitations.
5. Provide suggestions for future studies
CONCLUSION
1. Summarize your lab report with a conclusion
2. Include how your findings might generalize to other populations

What types of exercise do you regularly engage in? Do you typically exercise alone or with other people? How long have you been regularly exercising?

Physical Fitness for the Elderly in Your Community

A tremendous amount of research that points to the importance of exercise for successful aging is available today. This project allows you to see if this message is getting out to the public. For this project, investigate the physical fitness programs available for elderly people in your community. Call or visit the websites of any senior centers in your area to find out what programs are available. You can also research local gyms to see if any special programs are available for elderly people. Then, interview four people, one in each of the following age groups: twenties, forties, sixties, and over-seventies; then ask them the following questions:
How often do you exercise?
What types of exercise do you regularly engage in?
Do you typically exercise alone or with other people?
How long have you been regularly exercising?
How long do you plan to regularly exercise in the future?
Why do you exercise?
After completing the interviews, compare and contrast the answers given by people in the different age groups.
Write a report summarizing your findings and indicating how well the message about the benefits of exercise for successful aging has been received in your community. Finally, make a proposal for your city government about improvements in programs/facilities for the elderly to promote physical fitness. Make sure to conduct a literature review to see what strategies work best.

Briefly, how might you design and run the study? analyze it with Anova, so when you get to explaining your analysis, list your null hypothesis and explain how you would use the Anova F-test results to decide whether or not to reject the null hypothesis.

Part 1 – One-Way Anova Example
Step 1). Watch parts of The Origins of Pleasure – Paul Bloom You don’t need to watch the whole video, but do try to pick out the experimental designs behind some of Dr. Bloom’s examples and see if you could take one of those and pr  For example, if you wanted to see if the perception of wine price per bottle influenced people’s judgment of pleasantness, you could use price per bottle as the independent variable, tell people that they are getting either a 5 dollar bottle, a 10 dollar bottle, or a 40 dollar bottle and then measure their pleasure ratings under those conditions.  You could have 30 people per group and the three price groups would be the levels of your independent variable “wine price”.  You could also use other examples from his talk, so pick whatever interests you and then more formally describe that study design by following the outline below:
Step 2) Explain the following
⦁ What is your research question?
⦁ What is the independent variable and what is the dependent variable
⦁ What are the levels and how many are there?
⦁ What scale of measurement is associated with a) your independent variable, b) your dependent variable
⦁ Briefly, how might you design and run the study? analyze it with Anova, so when you get to explaining your analysis, list your null hypothesis and explain how you would use the Anova F-test results to decide whether or not to reject the null hypothesis.
