When thinking positive, you are thinking on the bright side of what can potentially happen. Many people positively fantasize about their futures. Some people who think positive, expect positive results, as we all should. Can those positive thoughts lead to something worse eventually? I have always been taught to think positive, to never let negative thoughts get you down. Always think positive, think it into existence or it will never happen. There are people who have been taught, and…

The within-subjects design I chose for my research question (What are the psychological reasons behind depression?) is the single factor two-level design. The single factor two-level design includes only two levels of a single independent variable. “All subjects receive both levels of the variable, but half the subjects receive the treatments in one order and half in the opposite order” (Bordens & Abbott, 2018, p. 324). The results and/or scores that I get from each treatment used are then…

The Other “L” Word “You used to be such a good Republican”. Never in my life did I ever expect those words to be directed towards me, or to come from somebody as familiar as my father. My simple and seemingly harmless comment about a local news story on Channel 6 seemed to have struck a chord with him. As I stood and let his remark wash over me, I attempted to justify my immediate reaction: offense. To be honest, I wasn’t offended by this off-hand statement; I was merely confused by what…

Student A has shown major development over my time of observing her. She has gone from drawing shapes that were not definite to writing her full name and other words. I think writing and reading is her main focus because she enjoys it. She voluntarily chooses these centers to work at during the day. She also enjoys the home living center. When she is over there she dresses up and plays the part. For example, when she was the cleaner, she had the broom, but she also had on the gloves while she…

I know when he leaves that he has filled out a counseling rating form, with which I might be able to see certain aspects of today’s counseling sessions as beneficial and those that were deemed by the client to not be beneficial. This component of our clinic’s follow up of client experiences helps shape the ability to determine the effectiveness of counseling sessions together. Continued Growth & Development As I contemplate those things that might be helpful to consider for future sessions…
