Assignment Instructions This week, you learned about the five-factor approach to understanding personality. Applying this model in the workplace can be beneficial. For example, as an employee, you can identify traits that are helpful or challenging to your success and communication with others. As a leader, you can recognize personality traits in the people you manage and leverage diverse personalities for more effective work outcomes. In this assessment, you will explore and describe your personality based on a well-known, modern research trait theory: the five-factor model of personality (also known as the Big Five personality traits). Additionally, you will consider how to use your personality traits to guide your interactions in the workplace. Assessment Preparation Review the following scenario: Your employer has invited you to apply for a new role as a team supervisor at the organization you work for. As part of the application process, you must take the Big Five test and write a personal statement in which you explain how and why you are a good fit for the supervisory role, based on the results of the test. Take the Big Five Test. This test is a tool used to understand various aspects of a persons personality in 5 domains: extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness to experience. Completing the test will help you understand your personality strengths and identify areas for growth. You will use your test results to complete this assessment. Assessment Deliverable Write a 700- to 1,050-word personal statement in which you explore the role of personality in emotional and behavioral interactions. Include the following headings and information in your personal statement: Introduction Summarize your Big Five profile. What did the test results reveal about your personality? Past Employment Reflection Describe how your Big Five profile can explain your employment history or career development. Future Employment Reflection Describe how you might use your understanding of your Big Five profile to manage your emotions and behaviors in the supervisory role. Explain how you might use your understanding of your Big Five profile to build relationships and rapport with people you work with (e.g., stakeholders, colleagues, other supervisors, supervisees, customers/clients). Cite at least 2 scholarly sources, in addition to the textbook, according to APA formatting and guidelines.

Editing the research paper based on suggestions made. The suggestions and marked rubric are attached. No AI. Will be submitted via Turnitin.

Overview

Reinforcement is the cornerstone of behavior analysis. How frequently, or not frequently, reinforcement is delivered has a large impact on how quickly a person will respond. This is the case for all behavior. For example, someone who sells cars may be paid on a fixed interval schedule (every two weeks after at least one car is sold, regardless of how many are sold after that one) or fixed ratio schedule (100 dollars for every car sold). As you can imagine, based on the pay schedule, the response rate of car selling by the individual who is paid every two weeks, regardless of the number of cars, is likely to be much lower than that of the individual who is paid per car sold. This type of reinforcement schedule and rate of responding translates the same when you may be teaching a client a skill. Choosing the appropriate reinforcement schedule allows us to support our clients in achieving those successes.

Overview This week, you’ll complete an oral presentation focusing on one psychological disorder and the most common treatment for that disorder. Preparation Select one psychological disorder (that you have not examined in previous assignments) and a treatment for that disorder to use for this assignment. Choose one of the following: Presenting at a senior center to an audience primarily over 65 years old. Presenting at a local high school to the students. Presenting at a daycare to the childcare providers. Presenting at a YMCA to an audience of primarily adults.

Design Considerations Consider the following when creating the presentation: Be sure to use the minimum number of words needed. It would be ideal to have no more than six bullet point entries on a slide and no more than 10 words per entry. You can always add more slides to cover any given topic. Be sure to use typefaces that are easy to read. Do not use more than two typefaces of different names (such as Helvetica or Times). Do not use different typefaces that are similar in style. However, it is very helpful to use some appropriate contrasts of sizes and weights of type to focus the viewer’s attention on the most important content within each slide. Consider using pictures and diagrams, in addition to words, to convey relevant information visually. However, minimize the use of decorative elements or effects that distract from meaning. For any visual material within your presentation that you did not create yourself, cite the source. For presentations in a professional context: If you use pictures or diagrams that you did not create yourself, you must seek out, and abide by, applicable copyright restrictions.

Just a friendly reminder to avoid quoting your sources in academic writing. Rather than quoting your sources in your posts/paper (which is not the standard in academic writing), be sure to paraphrase and cite. Please remember that every sentence that contains info that is not common knowledge needs a cite. So, the sentence, “Freud was a psychiatrist.” would not need a cite, but the sentence, “Freud began his career in traditional medicine, and he’s considered the father of psychoanalysis.” would need a cite.

Paraphrasing is important because it’s the only way to demonstrate your understanding of the concepts. For example, if you asked me to explain the theory of relativity and I responded by quoting Einstein, you wouldn’t know if I actually understood it enough to explain it in my own words.
