THE SPIRITUAL MODEL CAN BE RELATED TO THE BIOPSYCHOSOCIAL MODEL WHEN REFERRING TO A SPIRITUAL DISORDER MANIFESTING ITSELF AS A PHYSICAL DISEASE. DOWEIKO’S EXAMPLE OF “A PERSON HAVING LOST A DEEPLY LOVED SPOUSE MIGHT ‘PINE AWAY ‘FOR THEIR DECEASED PARTNER AND SLOWLY FADE FROM LIFE.”

Many things influence the development of an addiction. A person’s genetics, environmental influences, life experiences, interpersonal relationships, and culture can heavily influence us. Addiction is unlike many medical diseases where we can point to a certain germ or defect that caused the disease. “Some Therapeutic theories appear to offer some insight into various behaviors often noted in people who have SUD’s.” (Doweiko, 2015) However, no one appears to be in total agreement with the theoretical models explaining SUD’s. “The American Society of Addiction Medicine has suggested a bio/psycho/social model of addition to provide the multiple disciplines support for their efforts to understand and treat the SUD”S.” (Doweiko, 2015)

The Spiritual Model can be related to the Biopsychosocial Model when referring to a spiritual disorder manifesting itself as a physical disease. Doweiko’s example of “a person having lost a deeply loved spouse might ‘pine away ‘for their deceased partner and slowly fade from life.” (Doweiko, 2015) Admittedly we all experience pain and a sense of discontent or being incomplete in life. The stress of daily living conspires to shatter the individual’s spirit in a thousand different ways. To survive, some pull within the ‘self,’ others seek the mindless illusion of safety offered by false gods such as possessions, or drugs of abuse. A minority choose to embark on a lifelong journey of spiritual growth. (Doweiko, 2015)

Who is Max Brooks? What can you learn about him and his family that might illuminate the novel in some way?

Max Brook’s World War Z

Paper instructions:
Choose any of the study questions to explore, using whatever evidence or research you think appropriate—or compose an original study question and answer it.

***Choose One ONLY!!!***

1. Who is Max Brooks? What can you learn about him and his family that might illuminate the novel in some way? A good starting place: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/23/magazine/max-brooks-is-not-kidding-about-the-zombie-apocalypse.html?_r=1&

2. For a novel that we might initially classify as a pop-culture formula novel (i.e., zombies take over the world!), this text is surprisingly ambitious, literary, and informed by history. After completing the novel, how would you describe the readerly shifts you had to make to get beyond the surface genre? What did the novel make you think about that you weren’t expecting to ponder? If we call this a “novel of ideas,” what ideas is it preoccupied with?

3. The zombie takeover is actively linked to different kinds of real disasters and cataclysms (or our active, realistic fear of them), through explicit analogies, through iconic imagery, through historical similarities, through survivor behavior, through metaphorical language, and in many implicit ways as well. For now, just to put these parallels on the table for further scrutiny, make a list of the various analogues or allusions that occurred to you when reading the novel. Keep in mind that Brooks seems to be using the language and cultural memory of many kinds of disasters in human history—military, medical, cultural, natural, nuclear, and more. List at least five specific analogues you see alluded to in the novel, with brief explanations of what made you see these links. (Examples: pandemics like the bubonic plague that decimated Europe in two waves, or the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918-19 that swept the world; genocides like the Armenian Genocide of 1915.)

4. Choose one of the historical allusions you identified in the previous question. In what ways does the novel develop or imply the parallel between it and the zombie plague? (Or, alternatively, what aspects of the novel make you think of the historical parallel?) Explore the implications of this connection. What might the novel be saying about such events, or about how “familiar” some elements of the zombie plague seem?

5. This is fiction, and about zombies, no less. And yet it is narrated with extreme care and realism; it seems true. Its genius is in its convincingness, elaborately constructed. What techniques did Brooks use to create this verisimilitude? What techniques did he borrow from documentaries and journalism? What other conventions did he borrow from other genres, even other media, for his story-telling purposes? What narrative strategies did he use that make you almost convinced you are reading a highly informed historical account?

6. Among other well-developed subtexts, Brooks uses the language of infection, viruses, and contamination to describe the spread of the zombies. Why? Explore the implications (and symbolism) of this model of transmission. Can you think of other—real—consequences of human contact that spread by a kind of “infection”? Could this be a metaphor for deadly ideas?? What happens when you imagine Nazi ideology, or racism, apartheid, or rationales for ethnic cleansing in a similar light? (Ask: What turns people into metaphorical zombies? What does it mean to be a zombie instead of a person? What is lost? Why are zombies so dangerous? See what happens when you plug “Nazi” into the equation in place of “zombie,” for example.) How does this lens affect the way you read the novel, especially its intimations that the zombie plague is never fully contained and can resurge at any time?

s
Inferential Research and Statistics Project
Part 1
Select one of the following scenarios based on your particular field of interest in psychology:

Industrial/Organizational Psychology:
A few months ago, the upper management at a large corporation decided they wanted to make major changes in the organization. Leadership is concerned that employees may be resistant to the change, and they want to find out if there is a change management method that would help employees accept change more effectively and keep employee satisfaction high. Two methods they have considered are the ADKAR Framework and the Prosci Change Management Methodology. The company wants to implement a small change in two departments before they make any major organization changes and would like to test the methods. The corporation uses the Devine Company to measure employee satisfaction with an anonymous survey.
Applied Psychology:
A large medical facility is experiencing too many missed appointments in its primary and specialty care clinics. The facility has noticed that not all patients respond well to reminder calls regarding follow-up appointments. Some patients do not answer calls and do not seem to respond to voice mail requesting they call the facility. The result is that many follow up appointments are missed. Management has read articles that people respond very well to text messages and would like to see which method provides the least amount of missed appointments. Missed appointments are tracked in the facility database on a monthly basis.
General Psychology:
Clinicians at a small clinic have been introduced to a new method to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in their clients for veterans. Research indicates that virtual reality (VR) is a highly effective treatment option for patients with PTSD. Currently, the clinic uses only cognitive processing therapy (CPT) with their patients suffering from PTSD. The clinicians would like to find out whether VR therapy has different results from CPT therapy. The measure used by the clinic to measure PTSD symptoms is the Combat Exposure Scale. Both therapies need to be applied for a minimum of 12 weeks to be effective.

Write a 525- to 750-word paper that addresses the following for your chosen scenario:
Clearly define the problem or issue you are addressing. Provide a brief background of any research you have found that might affect your research hypothesis.
Create a research hypothesis based on the information provided in each scenario. You have been given a data set (Excel document) with two sets of interval data (just the numbers, as you must decide what they represent, such as method A results or method B results). This means you are going to test one thing against another, such as which method works best (step 1 of the steps to hypothesis testing). State the null and research hypotheses. Explain whether these hypotheses require a one-tailed test or two-tailed test, and explain your rationale.
Describe the sample you will use. Sample size will be 30 for each group, whic
