The purpose of this activity is to activatate students' knowledge of breathing (i.e., from hobbies). Two discussion questions are presented: (1) Do you have hobbies where you have learned certain ways to breathe? (2) What roles does breathing play in your hobbies?

This unit and these slides provide an introduction to our breathing system and how this is a key element in stress management.

The purpose is to have student discuss and reflect on what they have learned. Two discussion questions are provided. The first is, How does balance relate to our stress response?. The second is, What was the most interesting thing you learned in this lesson?

The purpose is to have students reflect on the lesson through two discussion questions: (1) Why is it important to practice breathing techniques? (2) What did you learn from this lesson that you didn’t know before?

This lesson introduces students to homeostasis, how it relates to the stress response and chronic stress, and the importance of diaphragmatic breathing. This activity provides three resources for teachers: video that can be shown to students, video transcripts, and presentation slides.

This warm up activity is for introducing students to the concept of homeostasis (balance) and how it relates to the stress response.

This warm up activity is for having students connect breathing and the stress response to automatic behaviours.

A group discussion: Ask your group members about their lifestyle habits. Try to find better lifestyle choices that you can do together.

A reflection activity with three questions for students. The first two questions relate to reflecting on how they can make positive changes to their lifestyles. The final question is a general reflection on this unit.

This unit and these slides provide an introduction to our breathing system and how this is a key element in stress management.

In this lab exercise, students of intermediate-level French will watch a short video on brain plasticity from the universcience VOD collection online.

Il volume rappresenta la tappa finale della prima stagione di implementazione del Progetto ABACUS (giugno 2019 - settembre 2020), sostenuta dal finanziamento pubblico garantito dalla Regione Siciliana e dalla Presidenza del Consiglio dei Ministri. In tal senso, la pubblicazione raccoglie sia una sezione di materiali di discussione critica sul percorso progettuale e sui primi esiti maturati, sia una ricca parte di contributi tematici offerti da referenti istituzionali, studiosi ed esperti, docenti accademici e ricercatori, professionisti e rappresentanti di organismi del Terzo settore Sono state così affrontate ed esaminate differenti tematiche e problematiche socio-culturali e socio-economiche, e prospettive e approcci metodologico-operativi tra loro affini e convergenti, che si sviluppano a cavallo delle politiche sociali, giovanili e culturali, della progettazione sociale e culturale, dell'innovazione sociale e della diversità culturale, in differenti contesti socio-territoriali siciliani e italiani, con una particolare attenzione per quelle iniziative che rappresentano casi paradigmatici in cui le istanze istituzionali, della ricerca, dell'educazione e della formazione si incontrano con le aspettative dei pubblici differenziati e, specialmente, delle giovani generazioni, anche sull'orizzonte della innovazione dell'occupazione giovanile.

This collection an be used as group or individual activities in psychology, sociology, communications, or related courses. The WWHoA model aims to first engage students in the "Why" of the concept or lesson, then moves them into the "what" and "how," before concluding with "assessments." The materials cover four lessons, and are intended to be used as is and also expanded upon for other concepts. These activities were created by Maria Gross, Psychology, Mid Michigan Community College; Kelley Eltzroth, Psychology, Mid Michigan Community College;
Nicole Korzetz, Psychology, Lee College; Philip B. Terry-Smith,Ph.D, Sociology, Anne Arundel Community College; and Diane Miller, Communication, Mid Michigan Community College.

Two formulas and a scenario for students to apply two retail gravitation models used to predict where shoppers will choose to shop.

Students carry out a field experiment in order to test the hypothesis that able bodied individuals receive less help than those perceived to have an injury. Students collect and analyze data and write an APA style research report.

Scientific research has been one of the great drivers of progress in human history, and the dramatic changes we have seen during the past century are due primarily to scientific findings—modern medicine, electronics, automobiles and jets, birth control, and a host of other helpful inventions. Psychologists believe that scientific methods can be used in the behavioral domain to understand and improve the world. Although psychology trails the biological and physical sciences in terms of progress, we are optimistic based on discoveries to date that scientific psychology will make many important discoveries that can benefit humanity. This module outlines the characteristics of the science, and the promises it holds for understanding behavior. The ethics that guide psychological research are briefly described. It concludes with the reasons you should learn about scientific psychology.

Background The widespread reluctance to share published research data is often hypothesized to be due to the authors' fear that reanalysis may expose errors in their work or may produce conclusions that contradict their own. However, these hypotheses have not previously been studied systematically. Methods and Findings We related the reluctance to share research data for reanalysis to 1148 statistically significant results reported in 49 papers published in two major psychology journals. We found the reluctance to share data to be associated with weaker evidence (against the null hypothesis of no effect) and a higher prevalence of apparent errors in the reporting of statistical results. The unwillingness to share data was particularly clear when reporting errors had a bearing on statistical significance. Conclusions Our findings on the basis of psychological papers suggest that statistical results are particularly hard to verify when reanalysis is more likely to lead to contrasting conclusions. This highlights the importance of establishing mandatory data archiving policies.
