I understand it can be challenging to address the imbalances in the group work, especially when they involve a senior, well-respected colleague. My goal is to maintain fairness and productivity while preserving relationships. I'd gather concrete examples and confirm the concern with teammates. If the colleague seems unaware, then I'd address it privately, using "I" statements to share observations so they have a chance to adjust without feeling attacked. My motivation is to encourage positive changes while maintaining trust. If the behavior continues, then I'd raise it with the manager as a workload and participation issues. My motivation is to seek a fair structural solution that protects team performance. If they react defensively, then I'd redirect discussions in meetings and clearly assign tasks, my motivation is to ensure equal participation and keep the project moving.
I would acknowledge my manager's perspective to show that I have heard their concerns. but I'd respectfully explain why I believe the situation is affecting team moral and productivity. If they still ask me to let it go, I'd accept their decision in the moment while focusing on what I can control -- such as encouraging balanced participation during meetings and clearly tracking task assignments. My motivation is to maintain professionalism, preserve my relationship with my manager, and still support an inclusive, effective team environment within boundaries of their guidance.

casper-marc by liuhon33

Marc has been offered a job at a company with questionable environmental practices. He's torn between the ethical concerns and the financial stability if offers. My motivation is to be a supportive friend who respect his autonomy while helping him weigh long-term consequences against short term benefits. I understand this is a difficult and personal decision for Marc, and my goal is to create a safe, non-judgemental space for him to reflect. My motivation here is to ensure he feels heard and supported, not pressured. I would ask Marc about his understanding of the company's environmental track record, and his financial situation, his long term career goals, and whether he has explored the alternatives. My motivation is to make sure my advice is informed by his priorities and circumstances rather than my assumptions.
If Marc decides that environmental values are his top priority, then I would encourage him to keep searching for roles that align with those values, even if it means a longer job hunt. My motivation is to support his integrity and help him find work he can feel proud of. If Marc feels immediate financial stability is most important, then I would suggest that he consider taking the job while exploring ways to advocate for better practices internally. My motivation is to respect his need for security while showing that he can still make a positive impact from within. If Marc remained undecided, then I would encourage him to gather more information and delay the decision if possible. My motivation is to help him avoid a rushed choice he might regret later.

casper-plagiarism by liuhon33

You're part of a university research group preparing a manuscript for publication. You notice a teammate has copied text from another source without citation. What advice do you give?
Plagiarism, even if unintentional, can harm research group's credibility and undermine trust in our findings. I would first speak privately with my teammate to clarify if the omission was a mistake. If so, I'd suggest revising the citation section and citing the source properly. If they refuse or I believe it's intentional, I would brint it to our supervisor. My motivation is to protect the integrity of the research and prevent academic misconduct that could negatively affect others and the field.

AbPsyCh7 Treatment by russell2311

In biofeedback, clients are trained to produce changes in a specific type of physical functioning by exerting control over a specific physical aspect of their bodies. The training may focus on brain waves, blood flow, muscle activity, temperature, or heart rate. Many things that were thought to lie outside of voluntary control can actually be altered with biofeedback training. A typical biofeedback session may proceed as follows:

1. Sensors that measure muscle tension are attached to the client's back; 2. The sensors are connected to a signal with green and red lights; 3. The client is instructed to relax his or her back muscles; 4. When the client's back muscles are sufficiently relaxed, the green light turns on; 5. If the tension is too high, the red light turns on; 6. The client tries to keep the green light on as long as possible and avoid the red light; 7. If necessary, the therapist provides guidance and helpful suggestions. In this example, the red and green lights provide feedback on whether the client is proceeding correctly. Biofeedback shows promise treating several stress-related illnesses, but it has been most effective for relieving migraines, muscle-tension headaches, and chronic pain. Some researchers have suggested that its effects are due primarily to teaching patients how to relax, but others have countered that it may be helpful because it instills a sense of control over the pain.

Transcendental meditation requires that a person focus his or her attention on a single syllable or word, called a mantra. This focus is often accompanied by regular, slowed breathing. The relaxation response, developed by Herbert Benson, is a streamlined and briefer version of transcendental meditation that maintains the emphasis on a repeated mantra. Progressive muscle relaxation focuses on noticing tension in the body and then systematically relaxing specific muscle groups.

The media plus counseling intervention was more effective than the media only intervention. In the Stanford Three Community Study, as in Dr. Harrison's study, researchers found that counseling and intensive instruction combined with a media blitz was the most effective at reducing risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD), followed by media intervention only. The control group received no intervention and remained the least changed community.

The field of health psychology is considered a subfield of behavioral medicine and focuses on the various mental factors that are important for the establishment and maintenance of physical and psychological health.

According to the principles of health psychology, learning about and avoiding high-risk behaviors that can lead to cancer in the first place would be the most appropriate goal regarding lung cancer.

In response to sustained stress, the body goes through several stages that together constitute the general adaptation syndrome (GAS), a concept proposed by researcher Hans Selye. The second stage of the GAS is resistance.

Research has shown that excessive secretion of the stress hormone cortisol can result in cell death in the hippocampal region of the brain in response to chronic stress.

The effects of stress on susceptibility to infections in the human body is mediated through the immune system.

Why is it necessary for people who have received certain types of organ transplants to take medications to suppress their own immune system response? Because the immune system would regard the transplanted organ as a foreign invader and would attack it as it would a virus or a bacterium.

The study of psychological influences on the neurological responding of the human immune response is called psychoneuroimmunology.

Myocardial infarction: death of heart tissue due to a completely clogged artery.

Angina: chest pain caused by partial obstruction of the arteries.

Ischemia: deficiency of blood to a body part caused by narrowing of the arteries.

Arteriosclerosis: hardening and loss of elasticity of the arteries due to thickening of the arterial walls, which reduces blood flow and increases the risk of high blood pressure and heart disease.

Pain behavior: observable actions or expressions that communicate or respond to pain, such as limping, grimacing, guarding a body part, moaning, or avoiding movement. These behaviors reflect how a person copes with or expresses pain, not just the physical sensation itself.

Vascular pain: pain that results from reduced blood flow or damage to blood vessels, often caused by conditions such as ischemia, vasculitis, or migraines. It occurs when tissues do not receive enough oxygen, leading to aching, throbbing, or cramping sensations that may worsen with activity and improve with rest.

In the phenomenon known as operant control of pain, the pain behaviors manifested by an individual are determined by social consequences.

According to the findings of Sapolsky’s research with baboons, control provides the strongest protection against the negative impacts of stress.

Little does he know, however, that the pill is a placebo. Which of the following outcomes would be consistent with the findings described in your chapter? The endogenous opioid system in Drew’s brain will be activated, and he will experience a reduction in pain.

AbPsyCh6 Suicide by russell2311

In the United States, committing suicide is more prevalent in Caucasians, or whites, than in most ethnic minority groups (with the exception of some Native American tribes). However, there are no significant differences among different ethnic or racial groups in terms of suicidal thoughts and attempts.

Suicidal ideation, suicidal plan, and suicidal attempt are three indications that a person intends to commit suicide. Research suggests that 9.2% of the global population has had suicidal ideation—that is, they have seriously considered suicide in more than an abstract or philosophical way. From there, 3.1% develop a plan for how they will commit suicide, which typically includes knowing when, where, and how he or she will commit the act and may include such details as a will. As part of a plan, an individual may start to give away possessions. Finally, 2.7% of people go on to attempt suicide. Attempting suicide means that a person has injured himself or herself with the intent to die but was unsuccessful in the act.

For both adolescents and adults, the ratio of those who think about suicide to suicide attempts is between 3:1 and 6:1. These numbers show that while suicidal thoughts are troubling, they do not lead directly to suicidal actions for most people. That being said, these numbers also indicate the importance of intervention for individuals who reach the planning stage, as 87% who develop a plan follow though with an attempt.

Altruistic suicides are approved of or seem demanded by the culture in which they occur. An example of this is someone who believes he or she has dishonored society and commits suicide to make amends.

Anomic suicides are provoked by a negative life event, such as the loss of a job or loved one.

Egoistic suicides result from an actual or perceived lack of social support. An example is an elderly person who commits suicide after having lost touch with or outlived friends and family members.

Fatalistic suicides that occur when a person no longer feels in control of his or her life or destiny. For example, a slave may feel doomed by fate to always be a slave and see suicide as his or her only escape, or people may give their lives over to a supreme authority that commands suicide.

Ana is a 44-year-old woman who was recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder. During a recent depressive episode, Ana felt particularly hopeless and began thinking about killing herself. She decided to try to poison herself with an overdose of lithium, the mood-stabilizing drug recently prescribed for her disorder. Before doing anything, she completed a will and began giving away many of her possessions. The following weekend, she swallowed an entire bottle of her pills. Despite experiencing convulsions, a coma, and brain damage, Ana survived.

There is evidence of all of these indices with Ana. She started thinking seriously about killing herself during her last depressive episode (suicidal ideation), developed a suicidal plan (overdosing on lithium), and ultimately, made a suicide attempt.

Ana is faced with at least two risk factors for suicide: the presence of a psychological disorder (bipolar disorder) and a sense of hopelessness. Researchers have identified hopelessness as a specific component of depression that is highly correlated with suicidal behavior. There is no evidence of low (or high) serotonin levels, impulsivity, or substance abuse (aside from the intentional overdose) with Ana.

Sanjay has been diagnosed with a mood disorder and is exhibiting symptoms of anhedonia: He is unable to experience pleasure.

A hypomanic manic episode is not necessarily problematic.

Joshua is experiencing a manic episode, but he has a wide variety of symptoms. Although he sometimes feels very good about himself and “high on the world,” he sometimes feels sad and anxious at the same time. He finds it hard to explain to his therapist how he can feel both good and bad at the same time. Joshua is experiencing a manic episode with mixed features.

A mixed features episode, involves experiencing feelings of depression or anxiety during a manic episode. This often occurs when a person feels that his or her symptoms of mania are dangerous or out of control.

Jack has experienced recurrent episodes of major depressive episodes. In the intervals between the episodes, he does not seem to return to "normal." In fact, during those periods, he has been diagnosed as having the symptoms of persistent depressive disorder (dysthymia). Jack's condition is referred to as double depression.

Who would most likely be diagnosed with disruptive mood dysregulation disorder? 16-year-old Devin, who experiences persistent episodes of anger and irritability

Stress is most closely associated with depression and the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenocortical (HPA) axis?

In very severe cases of major depressive disorder where the symptoms last for 5 years or longer, approximately 38% of patients can be expected to eventually recover.

John, with Bipolar 1, works as an auto mechanic and, while he is competent, he is not the “tops” in his field. During a particularly active period he starts feeling very good about himself, talking quickly, and making decisions without considering the long-term consequences they will bring. He quits his stable job as a mechanic and goes home to call the various NASCAR teams, certain that they will hire him to be an all-star mechanic on the national racing circuit. When he does not get a job within a few hours, he descends into misery during which time he hates himself, refuses to get out of bed, and contemplates suicide.

At age 45, Diana died by suicide after taking an overdose of barbiturates with alcohol. What is the likelihood that Diane had a mood disorder? 60%.

With regard to the different mood disorders, the diagnosis that would be marked by the symptoms with the lowest level of severity would be cyclothymic disorder.

Of the two forms of unipolar depression (major depressive disorder and persistent depressive disorder), the lifetime prevalence for both combined is about 3.5 percent of the general population.

Current research into neurotransmitter systems has produced the "permissive" hypothesis, which states that when serotonin levels are low, other neurotransmitter systems become dysregulated and contribute to mood irregularities.

A characteristic of sleep of depressed patients is that they have a shorter period of sleep time before entering a REM stage.

Martin Seligman's theory that people become anxious and depressed because they believe that they have no control over the stress in their lives is called the learned helplessness theory.

Professor Davidson conducts his Social Philosophy class during the fall semester, and at the end of the term he is reviewing the evaluations he received from his students. He completely disregards the 25 good and 3 neutral reports and focuses only on the 2 negative ones. When he is done, he feels very unhappy and is sure that the class would be considered a failure. During a therapy session to address his persistent depressive disorder, the therapist explains that Professor Davidson is engaging in a cognitive error called arbitrary inference.

The antidepressant medications known as tricyclics include all of the following drugs: Tofranil, Imipramine, Elavil. On the other hand, Prozac is not a tricyclic but an SSRI.

Mario has had bipolar I disorder for several years, and his family has taken him to a psychiatrist for evaluation. The psychiatrist correctly identifies the disorder and recommends that in addition to some psychotherapy Mario start taking lithium carbonate to help with his symptoms. Mario is happy to have this opportunity, but he should also be aware that one of the side effects of taking this drug is decreased functioning of his thyroid gland.

Charles has been diagnosed with bipolar I disorder and his physician has given him a prescription for lithium carbonate. Charles takes the medication for several months and sees a significant reduction in his mood swings. He decides, however, to stop taking the medication. This is a problem seen in many people on lithium carbonate to stabilize mood in bipolar disorder because they miss the euphoric feelings that mania produces.

Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) focuses on resolving problems in existing relationships and learning to form new interpersonal relationships. It is highly structured and rarely takes more than 15 to 20 sessions.

Suicide is such a significant problem in Native American communities compared to other racial communities because they have very high rates of depressive disorders.
Jake is suffering from somatic symptom disorder, in which a person feels excessive worry or distress about various physical complaints. Often, such patients will visit multiple doctors, avoid physical activity, and view themselves solely in terms of their symptoms. The distress associated with these symptoms will typically disrupt a person's social, emotional, or occupational functioning.

Patrick is suffering from a conversion disorder, in which some form of physical malfunctioning, typically a loss of motor or sensory ability, is not due to physical injury or pathology. Far from faking the disorder, Patrick is truly experiencing issues with his vision, but they cannot be explained by another physical or mental disorder.

AbPsyCh5 Comparing by russell2311

Kim is suffering from illness anxiety disorder, in which a person experiences severe anxiety around developing a particular disease. Sometimes, mild symptoms are present but have been misinterpreted or overblown by a patient. Other times, a patient may not have any symptoms at all. Even when patients are given a thorough examination and told they don't have a disease, their fears are rarely extinguished. It's not unusual for patients to be preoccupied with a disease for several years, even when there is evidence to the contrary.

AbPsyCh5 Conversion by russell2311

Conversion symptoms are often found to be precipitated by notable stress, most often in the form of physical injury. If a person is experiencing symptoms of a conversion disorder without having experienced stress, a clinician should carefully consider that the symptoms are most likely the result of a medical condition or malingering. Malingering refers to a person faking the symptoms of Somatic Symptom and Related Disorders. People who fake symptoms of conversion disorder are often trying to get out of something (such as going to work) or are looking to gain something (such as a financial settlement).

A secondary gain for a person with conversion disorder is usually in the form of receiving attention or avoiding an unpleasant situation or behavior. In Felix's case, avoiding his overbearing boss is an example of this type of gain.

People diagnosed with conversion disorder are not faking their condition—they truly feel the symptoms about which they complain. If a person were found to be faking his or her symptoms, for instance to gain attention or sympathy from others, a diagnosis of conversion disorder would not be made.

Now that Felix has been diagnosed with conversion disorder, one aspect of treatment is to identify and deal with the stressful life event that is causing the disorder. If this event can be identified, helping the person to psychologically deal with the ordeal will reduce the need to convert this stress into physical complaints. For Felix, this means helping him deal with having an overbearing boss. The pain medication did not have a lasting effect, so having Felix continue to take it exclusively will not be an ideal form of treatment.

People with conversion disorder are more likely to seek the attention of neurological specialists. Because their physical symptoms appear to be a result of a medical condition, they are more likely to seek help in this field. Even though conversion disorder is just as much a psychological condition, few cases are found in mental health settings. As a result, gathering statistics on prevalence rates solely in a mental health setting will cause the numbers to be lower than they actually are. A more representative prevalence rate can be found when researchers investigate cases in a neurological setting.

Because conversion disorder has so much in common with somatic symptom disorder, many of the treatment principles for the two disorders are similar. Note that treatment strategies for both involve helping the patient learn to cope with the psychosocial stressors related to the disorder, as well as eliminating any secondary gains.

AbPsych Ch5 Somatic by russell2311

In somatic symptom disorder, patients have one or more physical complaints or dysfunctions that disrupt their lives and cause intense anxiety. In some cases, there is a medical or physical cause for these complaints. Regardless of whether a cause exists, these physical symptoms feel totally real to the patient. For instance, a patient complaining of chronic pain may not have an underlying physical condition, but the pain exists; it's not just imagined.

In somatic symptom disorder and illness anxiety disorder, patients often misinterpret a normal bodily change as a sign of the presence of a serious disease. The anxiety resulting from this preoccupation typically leads patients to visit a medical professional (a physician) first, rather than a mental health professional (a psychiatrist or counselor), in an effort to identify the disease causing the bodily change. Despite reassurances from medical professionals that a serious disease is not present, people with somatic symptom disorder and illness anxiety disorder will often visit a number of different doctors because they are convinced something is wrong.

Women are more likely than men to develop somatic symptom disorder. Dr. Cuttner's research indicates that about 68% of patients with somatic symptom disorder are female.

The trigger to developing somatic symptom disorders is misinterpreting normal bodily changes as evidence of physical illness. A person with one of these disorders tends to focus on the bodily change he or she believes is a sign of a serious illness, causing him or her to feel anxious. Unfortunately, anxiety increases a person's arousal, which in turn can make physical sensations seem more intense. This increase in intensity can cause the person to feel even more anxious, contributing further to the severity of the physical sensation. This starts a vicious cycle that can cause even more bodily changes to occur, further convincing the person with a somatic symptom disorder that he or she is developing a serious disease.

Cognitive-behavioral treatment has also proven effective for those patients willing to seek help from mental health professionals. This type of therapy focuses on identifying and challenging a person's interpretations of normal bodily changes, pointing out one's ability to create symptoms by simply focusing on parts of the body, and urging the patient to seek less reassurance for his or her concerns.

The original term for neurosis was "hysterical neurosis," which took its name from the idea that it was caused by a “wandering uterus.”

Jane has a constant worry about getting sick even though she does not have any immediate symptoms. Whenever there is a new story about a new bug of an outbreak of some virus like the flu, she finds herself feeling very worried about getting the latest sickness. If she gets a mild symptom like a runny nose or a small rash, she is immediately convinced that she is developing a serious illness. Jane would be best diagnosed with illness anxiety disorder.

With regard to a diagnosis of somatic symptom disorder, it is estimated that men are less likely than women to be diagnosed.

Research has suggested a connection between somatic symptom disorder and anxiety disorders, in that the fundamental causes of these disorders are similar.

Jonah suffers from a mild case of asthma. It usually only causes him a problem when the weather turns colder, as he finds it more difficult to breathe in chilly air. At the same time, whenever Jonah is having an increase in stress at work or with his wife, he finds that his asthma symptoms start to flare up. Jonah might be diagnosed as dealing with psychological factors affecting medical condition.

A person experiencing a conversion symptom called globus hystericus would experience feeling a lump in the throat that interferes with swallowing, eating, or talking

To avoid the anxiety of attending a new school after moving across the country, Jacquan told his mother that he had a bad stomachache. After several days of missed school and a doctor’s visit with no diagnosis, Jacquan’s mother figured out what her son was doing: malingering.

Your textbook authors describe a treatment plan for one of the somatic symptom and related disorders that includes efforts to reduce any reinforcing or supportive consequences of the illness's symptoms: conversion disorder.

Individuals with derealization experience loss of sense of reality in their external world. Things may seem to change size or shape, and others may seem dead or mechanical.

In India, Thailand, and Nigeria the experience of a dissociative trance would be seen as consistent with cultural norms and expectations

The shorthand term that describes the different personalities or identities associated with dissociative identity disorder (DID) is alter.

Vanna, who is 40, apparently believes that she is a 20-year-old woman. Suddenly, she starts to speak and behave very differently, and says she no longer thinks of herself as "Vanna." Instead, she claims to be Elise, a 10-year-old child. It is likely that Vanna should be diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder.

The following statements is true about dissociative identity disorder: For prevalence rates, the ratio of females to males is approximately 9 to 1.

While speculation regarding the cause of dissociative identity disorder continues, your authors note that almost every patient presenting with this condition reports a history of horrible, almost unspeakable abuse that they suffered in childhood.

Because there are similarities in the etiology between dissociative identity disorder (DID) and posttraumatic stress disorder, some have suggested that DID is actually a subtype of this other condition.

While interviewing 129 women with documented histories of childhood sexual abuse, Williams (1994) found with extensive questioning that 38% of the women did not recall the abuse.

While sitting in his psychology class one day, Ernie gets a feeling of being separated from himself. He actually feels that he is floating over his own body, watching himself sit in class. After some time, the feeling passes, but Ernie cannot understand how class is suddenly over if he doesn't remember most of the class time passing. Ernie has experienced depersonalization.

Jack has been caring for his elderly father for some time, and is beginning to feel the pressure of being a caretaker. For no identifiable reason, he has begun doing things that cause his father to become sick, so that his father can spend time in the hospital. He also finds that he enjoys the attention he gets when his father is sick. Jack may be diagnosed with factitious disorder imposed on another.

Dora has agreed to go skydiving with her boyfriend to help him celebrate his 30th birthday, but she is absolutely terrified to do so. The morning of the big jump she wakes up and reports that she cannot feel or move her feet. She is upset by this, and her boyfriend takes her to the hospital. Doctors in the emergency room cannot find anything physically wrong with her. After the time for the sky-dive has passed, Dora's feeling of her feet seems to return without explanation. This could be an example of conversion disorder.

When people suffer from a somatic symptom or related disorder they often either (a) get attention from others, or (b) get to avoid some unpleasant event. Freud called these benefits second gain.

La carta a Garcia by user115844

En los últimos tiempos es frecuente oír hablar con gran simpatía del pobre trabajador víctima de la explotación industrial, del hombre honrado, sin trabajo, que por todas partes busca inútilmente emplearse. Y a todo esto se mezclan palabras duras contra los que están arriba, y nada se dice del jefe de industria que envejece prematuramente luchando en vano por enseñar a ejecutar a otros un trabajo que ni quieren aprender ni les importa; ni de su larga y paciente lucha con colaboradores que no colaboran y que sólo esperan verlo volver la espalda para malgastar el tiempo. En todo almacén, en toda fábrica, hay una continua renovación de empleados. El jefe despide a cada instante a individuos incapaces de impulsar su industria y llama a otros a ocupar sus puestos. Y esta escogencia no cesa en tiempo alguno ni en los buenos ni en los malos. Con la sola diferencia de que cuando hay escasez de trabajo la selección se hace mejor; pero en todo tiempo y siempre el incapaz es despedido; "la ley de la supervivencia de los mejores se impone". Por interés propio todo patrono conserva a su servicio a los más hábiles: aquellos capaces de llevar la carta a García.

My client expressed strong dissatisfaction upon learning that her preferred rehabilitation facility, “Serenity Springs,” does not accept her current insurance. CM attempted to offer alternative options, but client was emotionally invested in her original choice, stating: “You’re telling me I can’t go to Serenity Springs? That place has eucalyptus towels and a koi pond! I’m not trying to detox in a place that smells like mop water and broken dreams!” Client proceeded to list amenities she had researched online, including “daily sound baths” and “a juice bar with pressed intentions.” CM acknowledged client’s disappointment and reiterated commitment to finding a suitable facility within coverage. Client sighed deeply, then declared: “Fine. But if I end up somewhere with powdered eggs and a broken Keurig, I’m calling the insurance company myself and giving them a TED Talk.” CM provided updated list of in-network facilities and scheduled follow-up to review options. Client agreed, reluctantly, and requested that Serenity Springs be kept on the vision board “for future manifestation.”
