Protecting Information

Protecting Information

Fraud detection can be critical when it comes to data and being able to analyze that data. Some examples of fraud would be credit card fraud, tax evasion, money laundering, etc.

 

In 3-4 pages, describe how your information on social media is protected. Who is ultimately responsible to protect that information, the business or the consumer? Why?

 

When we talk about protecting our data, whose shoulders does that responsibility fall upon? Do we, as consumers, have an obligation to take responsibility for our own data? How can consumers and businesses protect themselves against fraud?

Evidence-Based Interventions Used In Trauma

Evidence-Based Interventions Used In Trauma

Individuals can experience trauma from public events at the national level or extremely private ones at the interpersonal level. In this Discussion, analyze these two types of trauma, describing potential interventions and their effectiveness.

 

To prepare: Read the DSM-5 section on trauma and stressor-related disorders and review the Learning Resources on PTSD, disaster response, and trauma.Then search the literature for studies related to an evidence-based intervention used to treat those suffering from trauma and stressor-related issues. Specifically, locate the following:

 

1. One study on treating symptoms resulting from a national traumatic event (e.g., natural disaster, mass shooting, war)

 

2. One study on treating symptoms resulting from an interpersonal trauma (e.g., rape, childhood sexual molestation, domestic violence)

 

Then, Post a response in which you address the following:

 

Post the APA references for the two studies you located.

 

Provide a brief description of the traumatic events, including a summary of how they affected the individuals involved.

 

  

 

 

  

Describe the interventions discussed in the articles and explain how they addressed the psychosocial issues and needs of the individuals affected by the trauma.

 

  

 

 

  

Explain the effectiveness of the interventions, as stated in the articles.

Assignment 1: Understanding Employees

Assignment 1: Understanding Employees

 

Reflect on what you have learned over the course of the Master of Arts: Industrial Organizational Psychology (MAIO) program as it relates to the areas of industrial/organizational (I/O) emphasis listed here:

  • Motivation
  • Job attitudes
  • Organizational stressors
  • Work–life balance
  • Improving employee performance

 

Can you discuss these topics in a meaningful way either in a casual conversation or in a more formal interview setting? In this assignment, you will work on at least two of these areas such that by the time you have completed this assignment, you should be able to discuss these topics in a significant manner.

Using the module’s readings, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet sources, research areas of I/O emphasis. Then, address the following:

  • Select any two of the following areas of I/O emphasis. Identify topics that are of particular interest to you. Conversely, you may want to select an area that you do not consider a personal strength to help round out your knowledge base:
    • Motivation
    • Job attitudes
    • Organizational stressors
    • Work–life balance
    • Improving employee performance
  • Provide a detailed description for each area. Your description should consider the following aspects within an organizational setting:
    • Historical development
    • Major research paradigms
    • Typical applications
  • Include a special mention of any classic studies, theories, or models associated with each of the selected areas.
  • What are some common job titles for and duties of the contemporary I/O professional associated with each area you researched? Make sure to support your position with the peer-reviewed scholarly literature.

 

Write your initial response in at least 500 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Assignment 1: Creating Effective Goals

Assignment 1: Creating Effective Goals

 

The simple act of setting goals for employees functions to increase their motivation (goal-setting theory). Goal-setting theory is generally accepted as the most valid and useful motivation theory in industrial/organizational (I/O) psychology, human resources management (HRM), and organizational behavior (OB). However, goals must be designed well to be most effective.

 

Using what you have learned in this module, augmented by research on goal-setting, respond to the following:

 

  • Briefly describe your current or a past professional position and provide essential information about the organization—what is the industry, and what do they do?
  • Indicate if the organization uses a goal-setting approach/process. Respond to the following:
    • If yes, what levels of the organization are involved? Briefly describe the process.
    • If no, do you believe a goal-setting approach would help? What levels of the organization do you think should be involved and why?
  • Analyze or create your personal goals.
  • If you have goals, critique them on the following areas:
    • Are they effective or ineffective?
    • What is good or bad about the goals and the associated process?
    • What might be done differently? Why would the change be an improvement?
  • If you do not have goals, create four goals for yourself keeping in mind that the goals should be position specific and cover a short time span (for example, three months). Also, describe:
    • How will the goals benefit you?
    • How will your goals benefit the organization?
