Assignment: Biological Theories and Criminal Behavior

There is much research to evaluate in formulating your own opinion about the validity of the biological approach to criminal behavior. As you ponder the legitimacy of this research and of the biological approach, consider two important questions: First, do biological theories illuminate your understanding of the nature of criminal behavior? Second, to what degree is biology a factor in criminal behavior—or in other words, how significant is the role of biology in criminal behavior?

Assignment (2–3 pages):

  • Select and describe two biological theories.
  • Evaluate the degree to which you think each theory adequately explains criminal behavior. Justify your position with specific examples and references.
  • Based on your evaluation, explain at least one conclusion you drew or insight you had about the validity of the biological approach as a body of research to explain criminal behavior.

Support your Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation. You are asked to provide a reference list only for those resources not included in the resources for this course.

Broadening Traditional Views on Intelligence and Intelligence Testing

Discussion 1

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otlmKZeNi-U

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0lVdxXTANA

 

Step 1: Please watch the following Ted Talk by Robert “Bob” Sternberg, the theorist who conceptualized the Triarchic Theory of Intelligence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otlmKZeNi-U (Video runs 11:32, opens in new tab)

Step 2: Watch the following vignette on Kim Peek, who is a person diagnosed as a savant that demonstrates calendar counting and other rare abilities: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0lVdxXTANA (Video runs 7:56, opens in new tab)

Step 3: Integrating what you learned from the textbook readings and watching the videos, please thoroughly respond to the following questions, integrating relevant content from the readings.

· Traditional Intelligence Tests tend to measure logical and analytical reasoning. The field of psychology tends to disagree regarding how intelligence should be defined. With this in mind, compose and present your own thorough and thoughtful definition of intelligence.

· According to research studies, IQ and other standardized tests, such as the SAT and ACT, tend to measure logical and analytical reasoning skills. In your opinion, do you feel that we place too much emphasis on these tests to predict success? Explain your opinion based on your readings and how the results of these types of tests are used.

· Next, please click on the following link and take one of the tests based on Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences: Inventory of Multiple Intelligences (webpage, opens in new tab). Describe your findings regarding your top three intelligences, and explain the extent to which you agree or disagree with the results.

 

 

 

Module 8 Self-Reflection

ASSIGNMENT 1

The purpose of this assignment is to explore anger expression and also to explore locus of control.

Learning Objectives: 3d, 4a, and 4b

For this assignment, you will take two brief, online measurements. Because they are online measurements, please do not read deeply into the results. Instead, online measurements are quick “estimates” with limited statistical validity and limited statistical reliability.

Anger and Anger Management

Step 1: Click on and complete the Anger Test by answering and scoring the questions.

Step 2: Thoughtfully answer the following questions related to the Anger test you completed:

· Explain your results.

· Describe the ways in which you tend to express anger. Integrate at least *two* concepts from the assigned readings. (Textbook 8.3 addresses culture and emotion.)

· Discuss at least *three* effective coping strategies you either implement or plan to implement when you experience a high level of anger (anger reactive response) or avoid experiencing anger, even when anger is warranted (anger avoidant response).

Internal or External Locus of Control

In 1984, Julian Rotter set forth his Expectancy Theory, which suggests that learning creates thoughts or “expectancies” that guide our behavior. Furthermore, our “expectancies” are also influenced by how rewards and punishments are controlled.

If you believe that expectancies are controlled by your own efforts, then you have an internal locus of control. In other words, your own effort controls the outcome of a situation. “I did well because I studied hard” reflects an internal locus of control.

If you tend to believe that rewards or punishments are controlled by factors external of you, such as luck, then you are demonstrating an external locus of control. In other words, you attribute outcomes to situations from which you have no control. “I did well because I got lucky” reflects an external locus of control.

You can have a combination of both, especially in different situations. However, our thinking tends to be dominated by one or the other.

Step 3: Click on and complete the Locus of Control Test.

You will see a prompt to allow “Scripted Windows,” which you can temporarily allow. Scores range from 0 – 13. A high score indicates an external locus of control, and a low score indicates an internal locus of control.

Alternate Scoring Method: If your test did not score your responses, it will display “NaN” in the area that should display your score. If this occurs, you can either launch a different web browser and copy/paste the url for the test and take the test. If that does not work, please click the following to score your Locus of Control Test: Alternative Scoring Method.

Step 4: Thoughtfully answer the following questions related to the Locus of Control test you completed:

· Explain your results, including if you have an internal or an external locus of control.

· How might your locus of control be affecting your life, personally and academically?

· What are the strengths and weaknesses of an internal locus of control?

· What are the strengths and weaknesses of an external locus of control?

· Explain at least one situation in which you tend to display an internal locus of control.

· Explain at least one situation in which you tend to display an external locus of control.

 

 

 

 

Parenting Styles

DISCUSSION 2

 

 

 

Step 1: Review the following chart, which provides a quick review of the three main parenting styles:

 

Permissive Parents Low control; Ambivalent responsiveness Makes few demands; submits to the wishes of children
Authoritarian Parents High control; Low responsiveness Dictates rules; expects obedience
Authoritative Parents High control; High responsiveness Sets and enforces fair and reasonable rules; discusses reasoning for rules with children

 

Step 2: Next, please watch the following Ted Talk: Changing Roles of Parents.

Step 3: The purpose of this discussion is first to reflect on the parenting style(s) of your caregiver(s), thinking through the effects the style(s) had on your own development. Though you do not submit this information to the discussion forum, thinking through the style(s) of your own caregiver(s) is often a relevant first step. After the self-reflection, please compose and post your answers to the following questions:

· Describe the style of parenting you most value and explain why. In your description and explanation, integrate relevant content based on the assigned readings.

· Go to SPC’s online library, Monitor on Psychology, or another credible source to search for and select at least one article that describes the parenting style you most value, including strategies on how to implement that parenting style. Summarize the article, using APA style for in-text citations, and include at least *three* relevant strategies on how to implement the parenting style you most value.

· Based on the research presented in the assigned readings, explain the effects on children from the parenting style you most value. If you include additional research, use APA style for your in-text citations. Here is the link for assistance: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/in_text_citations_the_basics.html.

· Create a reference page titled References. Use APA style for your citations. Here is the link for assistance:
