Model Of Causality

457 Words2 Pages

The multidimensional model of causality is a perspective that states abnormal behavior forms from multiple influences such as behavioral, biological, emotional, social and possibly developmental. Creating an example of a multidimensional model of causality is rather simple. I actually have a personal example of this multidimensional model. My freshman homecoming dance took an unfortunate turn. I was dancing with a guy when I did not feel very good at all. The guy had just asked me out. All I could say was “I don’t feel good, I have to go sit down.” So I sat down and that was the last thing I remembered before blacking out. Everyone told me that I began jerking and my best friend went to find a teacher. I had had a seizure. After I was conscious …show more content…

This biological influence led me to have a seizure. This event conditioned my response to parties and dizzying environments. I am very cautious about going into similar situations and I tend to avoid them. Whenever I am at a dance or a crowded space my emotions take over and make my fear of seizing worst. Since I know my fear of seizing intensifies in those situations I stay clear. Social influences were also a big factor in my episode of seizing. My best friend went to find help, the teachers helped carry me into a different room, and everyone that was near stopped what they were doing to crowd over me. Once I was in the different room an upperclassman, which had been diagnosed with epilepsy, explained that after she seizes she would always throw up too. She told me that it was all going to be fine, and that really helped me. Developmental influences also have occurred. My phobia of crowed spaces and flashing lights all developed that night. Whenever I was at a homecoming or prom I was always worried that I would seize again. Thankfully, none of the DJs had a huge light show and I was able to stay in the open space. I also have done extensive research about light triggering a seizure and majority of the sources I have read stated, that this cause of seizer becomes less frequent with age. Being five years later, I believe that my fear of strobe lights is decreasing, but I am still impacted by the crowded space because I know I still get nauseous. I can’t ride in elevators or the window sides of buses. Overall, my phobia is completely

“Mass Hysteria in Upstate New York” The general argument made by Ruth Graham in “Mass Hysteria in Upstate New York” is that cases of large groups of people becoming suddenly ill have surfaced because of a massive panic occurring. More specifically, Graham reasons that a large group of teenage girls experienced Tourette’s like symptoms due to mass hysteria. Graham writes, “Typically, symptoms-which can include Brownell’s Tourette’s-like movements, along with nausea, dizziness, cramping, and more-start with one or two victims and spread when others see or hear about them” (1).

Doctor Who is a British science fiction series which began in 1963 and continues to this day. The programme centres on a TImelord by the name of The Doctor who travels through space and time in his TARDIS, a space-time ship disguised as a police box. Alongside the television series, Doctor Who also exists in a variety published media including comics, novels, audio plays and animations. This essay will attempt to bring these many media together and decide on what can be called a definitive “canon”. This will be done using The Multiverse theory which I will explain in detail throughout my piece, describing the problems associated with it, the benefits attached to it, in-Universe proof and its potential to fix continuity errors.

Resilience is known as bouncing back from the adversities and bringing in strength to cope to difficulties. Adversities happen at personal, community and organisational level. Resilience allows the person to come out of the adversity, rather than staying with it and to move forward further. This is a way of maintaining positive mental health and maintaining one’s own well being in the midst of adverse conditions. It enables a person to maintain positive health in the midst of challenges (Mowbray, 2011).

Do victim precipitation theories mean victim blaming? Explain and evaluate. 1.0 Introduction of victim precipitation Victim precipitation theories generally involve an explanation of how an individual’s behavior may contribute to his or her own victimization. In future the victim precipitation is behavior by a victim that initiates subsequent behavior of the victimizer and the degree to which victim is responsible for own victimization Early attempts at studying victim behavior involved the development of typologies that allowed victimol-ogists to determine who was most responsible for the criminal incident offender or victim. For instance, Wolfgang first introduced the formal concept of victim precipitation in his seminal work on homicide in 1958 when he argued that, in some instances, the victim may initiate the behavior of the victimizer .

PSYCHOSEXUAL THEORY OF DEVELOPMENT This is an assignment given in Adolescence and Learning to explore Sigmund Freud’s psychosexual theory of development. This theory describes how the personality is developed over the course of childhood through various fixations at each stage. The five stages are oral, anal, phallic, latency and genital. Each of the psychosexual stages is associated with a particular conflict that must be resolved before the individual can successfully advance to the next stage (McLeod, 2008). According to Freud, a person who successfully completes these stages forms a successful and healthy personality whereas if certain conflicts are not resolved at the appropriate stage fixations occurs which result in failure
