Responsivity

the test’s reliability. As demonstrated in the MMPI, a well-recognized test utilized for measuring psychopathy, validity scales are questions designed to “detect content responsive faking (e.g., faking good or faking bad) as well as content non-responsivity (randomly responding)”, (Burke, 2007, p. iv). Without these validity scales, the test has no method of combatting test-takers who overrate or underrate certain aspects of their personality. For example, a self-serving and biased test-taker…

academic skills, and social interactions. Areas that are focused on are motivation, initiation, and responsivity to multiple cues. Children with an ASD often have trouble completing those tasks as they are often seen as socially isolated. PRT is implemented one-on-one, as the “pivotal responses trained in PRT vary based on a child’s developmental level but typically include motivation and responsivity to multiple cues” (Suhrheinrich, 2011). Originally PRT was used to improve verbal and…

Incarceration rates within the United States are among the highest in the world, but when sentences come to an end, offenders are released back into the community. As hundreds of thousands of offenders are released from prison each year, the stigma of being an ex-prisoner results in a multitude of obstacles, such as housing, employment, and relationships (Plante, 2015). Because reintegration back into the community can be such a difficult process, attention needs to be given to reentry barriers…

My first impression after completing the Seven Habit’s Profile is that I might have fallen prey to the tendency for people when taking a self-report assessment to over-rate their capabilities. My thought was immediately reinforced by the feeling of not ever being highly successful. I figured I probably should have felt successful by now if the habits were being exercised to the level I rated. In reflection, my responses are heavily influenced by many of life’s lessons I have learned from…

If you had to choose between saving the life of one person or the life of five people, what choice would you make? This is the question asked by the ubiquitous “trolley problem” that presents the choice between allowing a runaway trolley to hit five people or flipping a switch to change the tracks so it hits only one person. For many, the decision would be almost knee-jerk, that saving five people would be the more appropriate choice. However, what if to save those five people you would have to…

For many years throughout history, much debate and controversy has been sparked with respect to Canada’s correctional system and criminal justice system. Canada’s criminal justice system has thrived/strived to work as a consolidated unified entity aimed at reducing, maintaining, and preventing crime and criminal activity. However, great controversy remains as to whether or not Canada’s criminal justice system is effective. It can be argued, for example, that Canada’s system of criminal justice…

would feel that selling their organs is the best course of action? Does it fall on the governments who do not have programs in place to help the less fortunate, so that they do not feel that donating their organs is the only option, or is it the responsivity of the administrations of the recipient countries to enforce regulations against organs arriving from other countries and against organs being obtained for profit or from outside of a recognized hospital. The government could pass…

Mental Health and Criminal Justice System The deinstitutionalization movement in the 1960s directly impacted the criminal justice system in Canada. The John Howard Society of Ontario (JHS) (2015) argues that the criminal justice system became a repository for those with mental health concerns because they found themselves in the community without adequate support and resources. Some common obstacles in the community include stigma, housing, employment, substance use as a means to…
