Psychoanalytic theory Definition[edit] Through the scope of a psychoanalytic lens, humans are described as having sexual and aggressive drives. Psychoanalytic theorists believe that human behavior is deterministic. It is governed by irrational forces, and the unconscious, as well instinctual and biological drives. The Beginnings[edit] Freud first began his studies on psychoanalysis and in collaboration with Dr. These observations led Freud to theorize that the problems faced by hysterical patients could be associated to painful childhood experiences that could not be recalled. Personality Structure[edit] The Unconscious[edit] Defense Mechanisms[edit] Psychology theories[edit] Psychosexual development[edit] Neo-analytic theory[edit] Freud's theory and work with psychosexual development lead to Neo-Analytic/ Neo-Freudians who also believed in the importance of the unconscious, dream interpretations, defense mechanisms and the integral influence childhood experiences but had objections to the theory as well.
Ego Defense Mechanisms in Psychology 101 at AllPsych Online Section 1: Introduction to Development, Personality, and Stage Theories Section 2: Motor and Cognitive Development Section 3: Erikson’s Stages of Psychosocial Development Section 4: Freud’s Stages of Psychosexual Development Section 5: Freud's Structural and Topographical Model Section 6: Freud's Ego Defense Mechanisms Section 7: Kohlberg’s Stages of Moral Development Ego Defense Mechanisms We stated earlier that the ego's job was to satisfy the id's impulses, not offend the moralistic character of the superego, while still taking into consideration the reality of the situation. Before we can talk more about this, we need to understand what drives the id, ego, and superego. Sex, also called Eros or the Life force, represents our drive to live, prosper, and produce offspring. Now the ego has a difficult time satisfying both the id and the superego, but it doesn't have to do so without help. Ego defenses are not necessarily unhealthy as you can see by the examples above.
Health Promotion Introduction: According to the 1st International Conference on Health Promotion, Ottawa 1986, (which resulted in the “Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion”), health promotion: "is not just the responsibility of the health sector, but goes beyond healthy life-styles to well-being" "Aims at making... [political, economic, social, cultural, environmental, behavioural and biological factors] favourable through advocacy for health" "focuses on achieving equity in health" "demands coordinated action by all concerned: by governments, by health and other social and economic sectors, by nongovernmental and voluntary organization, by local authorities, by industry and by the media" "should be adapted to the local needs and possibilities of individual countries and regions to take into account differing social, cultural and economic systems" In addition, the Ottawa Charter conceptualized "health promotion action" as: 1- Build Healthy Public Policy 2- Create Supportive Environments a. b. c. 1. 2. 3.
Epidemiological transition Diagram showing sharp birth rate and death rate decreases between Time 1 and Time 4, the congruent increase in population caused by delayed birth rate decreases, and the subsequent re-leveling of population growth by Time 5. In demography and medical geography, epidemiological transition is a phase of development witnessed by a sudden and stark increase in population growth rates brought about by medical innovation in disease or sickness therapy and treatment, followed by a re-leveling of population growth from subsequent declines in fertility rates. "Epidemiological transition" accounts for the replacement of infectious diseases by chronic diseases over time due to expanded public health and sanitation.[1] This theory was originally posited by Abdel Omran in 1971.[2] Theory[edit] Omran divided the epidemiological transition of mortality into three phases, in the last of which chronic diseases replace infection as the primary cause of death.[3] These phases are: History[edit] See also[edit]
Avoiding Plagiarism Summary: There are few intellectual offenses more serious than plagiarism in academic and professional contexts. This resource offers advice on how to avoid plagiarism in your work. Contributors:Karl Stolley, Allen Brizee, Joshua M. There are some actions that can almost unquestionably be labeled plagiarism. But then there are actions that are usually in more of a gray area. However, other teachers and administrators may not distinguish between deliberate and accidental plagiarism. When do we give credit? The key to avoiding plagiarism is to make sure you give credit where it is due. Bottom line, document any words, ideas, or other productions that originate somewhere outside of you. There are, of course, certain things that do not need documentation or credit, including: Deciding if something is "common knowledge" Generally speaking, you can regard something as common knowledge if you find the same information undocumented in at least five credible sources.
Planning & structuring your essay This guide covers the first stages of writing an essay including: Planning & Structuring Essays (this is designed to be printed double-sided on A4 paper, then folded to make an A5 leaflet) We also have a series of bitesize Video tutorials to help you develop key aspects of your essay writing. Answering the question A very common complaint from lecturers and examiners is that students write a lot of information but they just don't answer the question. Is the question open-ended or closed? Underlining key words – This is a good start point for making sure you understand all the terms (some might need defining); identifying the crucial information in the question; and clarifying what the question is asking you to do (compare & contrast, analyse, discuss). Re-read the question – Read the question through a few times. Try breaking the question down into sub-questions – What is the question asking?

Epidemiology Epidemiology is the science that studies the patterns, causes, and effects of health and disease conditions in defined populations. It is the cornerstone of public health, and informs policy decisions and evidence-based practice by identifying risk factors for disease and targets for preventive healthcare. Epidemiologists help with study design, collection and statistical analysis of data, and interpretation and dissemination of results (including peer review and occasional systematic review). Epidemiology has helped develop methodology used in clinical research, public health studies and, to a lesser extent, basic research in the biological sciences.[1] Etymology[edit] Epidemiology, literally meaning "the study of what is upon the people", is derived from Greek epi, meaning "upon, among", demos, meaning "people, district", and logos, meaning "study, word, discourse", suggesting that it applies only to human populations.

How to Dress, Act and Behave Like a Trinity Orts Student « « Trinity Halls Trinity Halls So… yaw. I’ve been in Trinity so long now that I can barely even remember my loife before my epic L.C catapulted me into university greatness. In fact, I can barely remember my second level education and am sometimes thrust into uncertainty when I am asked of the difference between the standards of university, and the standards of secondary school, (also I’m doing Orts so loike, yaw, uber challenging.) I cringe inside when I think of the days when I was forced to wear my long skirt that didn’t show off my super toned calves and my totes grubby Dubes. So you can imagine how surprised I was when I walked into college a couple of weeks back to find that my utopia – the Orts Block – had been invaded by little secondary peeps on a tour of my home. So, if your parents aren’t loike, super loaded loike mine, I suppose you’ll have to loike, work or something because you need money for a totes new awesome wardrobe. So this is all well and good but what will you need? So, yaw. By Shauna Cleary

Conversation analysis Individuals involved in a conversation take turns speaking. Turn-taking refers to the process by which people in a conversation decide who is to speak next. It depends on both cultural factors and subtle cues. Overview[edit] The steps involved in the conversational process occur in order to maintain two important elements of conversation: one person speaking at a time and the space in which one person stops talking and another begins.[1] Turn-taking is a part of the structure and systematic organization of conversation. Turn-taking in conversation is not stereotypical of any type of person, conversation, or language. Turn-taking and gender[edit] Turn-taking in male-female interactions is highly salient. Language and conversation are primary ways in which social interaction is organized. Cultural variation[edit] This demonstrates culturally different floor management strategies.

Kaspar Hauser Kaspar Hauser (30 April 1812 (?) – 17 December 1833) was a German youth who claimed to have grown up in the total isolation of a darkened cell. Hauser's claims, and his subsequent death by stabbing, sparked much debate and controversy. Theories propounded at the time linked him with the grand ducal House of Baden. History[edit] First appearance[edit] There was another short letter enclosed purporting to be from his mother to his prior caretaker. A shoemaker named Weickmann took the boy to the house of Captain von Wessenig, where he would repeat only the words "I want to be a cavalryman, as my father was" and "Horse!

Locus of control In personality psychology, locus of control refers to the extent to which individuals believe that they can control events that affect them. Understanding of the concept was developed by Julian B. Rotter in 1954, and has since become an aspect of personality studies. A person's "locus" (Latin for "place" or "location") is conceptualized as either internal (the person believes they can control their life) or external (meaning they believe that their decisions and life are controlled by environmental factors which they cannot influence, or by chance or fate).[1] Individuals with a high internal locus of control believe that events in their life derive primarily from their own actions: for example, when receiving test results, people with an internal locus of control would tend to praise or blame themselves and their abilities, whereas people with an external locus of control would tend to praise or blame an external factor such as the teacher or the test.[2] History[edit] Applications[edit]
