The purpose of the “News Reviews” discussion is to create a running list of family-related policy issues that are covered by the media and to provide a brief commentary on the issue and how it is related to family law/policy and research in this area /or course content, citing relevant research. In four different weeks,  each student will post on the “News Reviews” Discussion.
For your post:
Find a popular media article about current policy issues or government activities that is related to families, family policy, family law, or an ethical issue related to families. (This should be from an online newspaper, magazine, or website – CNN, Newsweek, New York Times, BBC, NPR, etc.)
Post the link to the article along with a brief summary (in your own words)
Then include the following:
Policy implications for families (Is this implicit or explicit family policy?).
A discussion of why a family life educator or professional would need to be aware of this issue and/or how a family life educator or professional could be involved with this issue.
Your reaction to this article and/or policy.
Lastly, include the APA citation and abstract of a research article that supports (or counters) the article’s content. This will be a scholarly family science journal article and should be related to the population or specific problem that the article is addressing.
Be sure to include the full citation in APA format; you may copy/paste the article’s abstract.
Students are required to reply to at least two peer’s posts (pose comments and/or questions in relation to the articles that other students post).

What do you think of when you hear the words, ‘Digital Devices’? Before you began this class, you probably thought of your cell phone, your Apple/Android Watch, or maybe your FitBit. You might think of your laptop, or even an iPod. The fact is, any device that is electronic and capable of processing, or storing information digitally (ones and zeroes) is a digital device. Digital cameras, video games, watches, hard drives, thumb drives/SD cards/flash drives, monitors, BluRay players, headphones, webcams, keyboards, mice, and more. These are all devices that at their core communicate with electrical impulses that are either on, or off. On is a 1, off is a 0, the digits that make things digital.
Think about what you learned this week in the lab, the devices you looked at, and the notes you took. What can you tell your classmates about what you discovered, and what you learned? I’d like you to talk exclusively about what you discovered in class, but for more information, check out the videos provided below this assignment. You can see how your computer’s brain, the CPU, is made. Or watch how a factory makes the gaming laptop you’ve been eyeing on Amazon. Include the word Cyrix.
Now tell us about it:
Consider your thoughts as you begin the discussion, and pattern your answers around the following questions.  Your initial post should answer the following 4 questions.  Please don’t number your answers 1 to 4.  Instead, write clear paragraphs covering the questions in your own words. Make 
From watching the videos, reading your Zy-book, and exploring hardware parts in our Wednesday lab:
1) What did you find the most interesting?
2) What did you find the most surprising?
3) What did you find the most boring?
4) What is something you discovered that is not covered in the videos, the readings, and your notes from the lab?
Initial Post: Due by Friday – 150 – 200 words.
NOTE : Citations are required! Tell us which video, article, etc. that you watched/read.
Response – Due by Sunday – One response of 100 – 150 words.
Remember – “I agree completely”, or “That was very interesting!” are not substantive responses. Your reply should continue the conversation.
Example of a good start : “I didn’t know that monitors were one-way devices. I saw a video that explained monitors were digital input devices, but they can tell the computer what kind of monitor they are.”

Your Final Research Paper (which is due at the end of the semester) contains the

Your Final Research Paper (which is due at the end of the semester) contains the following components:
-Literature Review with APA citations (which we did in a previous Discussion Board)
-Literature Gap (which we did in a previous Discussion Board)
-Hypothesis (which we did in a previous Discussion Board)
-Method 
-APA References (which we did in a previous Discussion Board)
In this Board, you will write a Hypothesis and a Method section. The Method section describes how you would conduct a hypothetical study to test your hypothesis. I look for two specific things in your Method:
1) Does it directly measure the variables in the hypothesis?
2) Is the Method written with enough precision and detail that if two independent researchers read your Method section, they would conduct identical studies?
When writing your Method section, first identify the variables in your hypothesis.
Sample Hypothesis: I hypothesize that younger adults are more violent than younger adults. (Variables: Age and Violence).
Next, in your Method, describe how you would precisely measure each.
Sample Method: I would survey 100 participants on a self-reported questionnaire. I would ask them their age (in years) and how violent they would rate themselves on a 10-point scale (1-not at all, 10-very).
Note that in the above sample method, you know *exactly* what is on the survey: You know the questions as well as the scale on which participants would respond. Here’s a sample of an imprecise Method:
Imprecise Method: I would find out how old participants are, and also find out their history of violence.
In the above imprecise sample method, we don’t know how participants will respond: Will they respond with their age in years? Or broad buckets like infant/toddler/adolescent/adult? What how are we supposed to measure a “history of violence?” Is it the number of arrests? The number of altercations?
Instructions for this post:
1) Write a hypothesis. It can be anything related to psychology.
2) Write a Method section.
Sample Discussion Board post
I hypothesize that homelessness is correlated with mental illness.
Method
I will survey 100 individuals and ask them to self-report the responses to these two questions: 1) What is your current housing situation? (Own a home, renting, living with friend or family, homeless, prefer not to answer). 2) Have you been previously diagnosed with a mental illness? (yes, no, prefer not to answer).

Choose a topic and include the following in your infographic or fact sheet:
10 facts from 2 peer-reviewed empirical journal articles
two peer-reviewed empirical publications
These can be found on the library database or via google scholar.
You may cite course material, but it does not count as one of your two peer-reviewed sources. Instead, it can be used for defining concepts or as a starting point or guide for locating scientific articles on your topic.
All in-text citations and references must use APA format.
Information may be a combination of:
Prevalence statistics of the topic/demographic fact.
Facts about antecedents and consequences (e.g., causes and effects) of a topic.
Explanations of how relationship processes work (e.g., mechanisms that play a role in love).
Applied facts about how to facilitate or prevent the topic (e.g., relationship advice based on peer-reviewed research articles), etc.
Assignments should fit onto one page (front and back if needed) and can be single spaced, but should be aesthetically pleasing to a lay audience.
Font and text size can vary, but it should be readable.
Helpful Information to Know
You may produce (or reproduce with careful citation) graphs/pie charts.
A chart can count as an outside source if it is from a peer-reviewed source and is discussed in text.
Graphs and pie charts should also be explained in the text of the document.
You must include a full APA-formatted bibliography of the peer-reviewed publications you cite.
Topics must be relevant to relationships (e.g., long-distance relationships, marginalized couples, relationships and technology, love, adolescent friendships, etc.), but need not have been covered in class (e.g., polyamory, children out of “wedlock,” interfaith marriages, the effects of in-laws on relationships/how to handle in-laws, remarriage and step-families, etc.).

Assigned Readings:
Chapter 3. Individual Differences
Chapter 4. Individual Value

Assigned Readings:
Chapter 3. Individual Differences
Chapter 4. Individual Values, Perceptions, and Reactions
Overview:
In chapter three, we explore some of the key characteristics that differentiate people from one another in organizations. We first introduce the essential nature of individual differences and how people “fit” as individuals in organizations. We then look at personality frameworks that shed considerable light on different personality profiles. Next, we examine other specific personality traits and discuss different types of intelligence. We close this chapter with an examination of different styles for processing information and learning.
Chapter four continues the focus on individual behavior in organizations begun in Chapter three. Here, a discussion of attitudes examines how attitudes are formed and changed, cognitive dissonance, and three key work-related attitudes. Next, we look at how values and emotions affect organizational behavior. The role of perception, especially as it relates to issues of fairness and trust, is then discussed. Finally, our chapter concludes with a section devoted to stress in organizations—its causes and consequences and how it can be managed.

Managers tend to have a more internal locus of control. After completing the self-assessment, answer the following questions:
Do you think that your score accurately reflects your locus of control at work? Why or why not?
How do you think the work locus of control might influence your effectiveness as a manager?
What do you think is the ideal locus of control in a work setting and why?
What might you do in the next year to make your work locus of control consistent with your answer to question 3?
