Transcript: The DV will be the PTSD symptoms The facility will be asked to cease any therapy they may be doing with the children, doing this will assure that the results are from the art therapy and will not be influenced by any other type of therapy High: 46-58 Effects of Art Therapy on Symptoms of PTSD in Sexually Abused Children 50 kids will be in an age group ranging from 8-11 years of age Significance to the Field The CPSS will be scored on a nominal scale as follows: Each child will be assigned a number, without skipping any numbers, and the population will be selected by using a table of random numbers Both the facility and parents of the children will be given letters of consent to allow the study The art therapy will be conducted by 10 therapists trained in the area of art therapy Background on the Issue The max number a child can score is 58 points Each child will have the same therapist throughout the course of the study as to not disrupt any rapport or trust which could effect the study The facility will be randomly selected by listing all of the facilities in Louisiana who specialize in child sexual abuse and randomly drawing one The children will all be from the same facility which means they may have already been exposed to some therapies which may effect this study Low: 0-30 Procedure Cont'd Measurement Medium: 31-45 Brittany Lockard Procedure I am currently interning at the Sexual Trauma Awareness and Response Center (STAR) which counsels people who are survivors of sexual trauma. I have always been interested in the treatment of sexual abuse. Limitations These results can greatly improve the type of therapy used in counseling sexual abuse survivors, which may lead to better results in their healing process A total of 100 children will be randomly selected from a randomly selected Louisiana state facility for children who have been sexually abused The children will be selected through simple-random sampling Will art therapy reduce the symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in children who have been sexually abused? The art therapy will consist of painting and drawing The IV will be art therapy Each child will go through one 50 minute session per week for ten weeks In regards to compensation, each participant's name will be put into a drawing for two 50 dollar gift certificates The children will each be given the Child PTSD Symptom Scale (CPSS) before therapy begins and again after therapy is complete There is no controlling for gender, so it is likely the majority of participants will be female and this will make the results unbalanced with mostly female based results Measurement Cont'd If the results of this study go as predicted, then art therapy will lessen the symptoms of PTSD in children who have been sexually abused Research Question These findings are very important because they can greatly help in therapy within the population of children survivors of sexual abuse 50 kids will be in an age group ranging from 12-15 years of age The CV will be the age of the children Results

Why This topic/Conversation? The Conversation/Topic: Modern-day education Education has many implications both on the individual and societal level There are many different types of learners in school Technology-based learning can appeal to a wide variety of learners On the Societal Level: 1. It can lead to a more productive society 2. It can lead to a stronger public commons On the Individual Level: 1. Better problem-solvers 2. Better Students Finding a specific website - limited sources talking about its positive and negative effects Figuring Out the Functionality of the Website Focusing on a specific age-group. Would it even work for elementary school students? Would starting with high school students be too late? Challenges Challenges creativity as an emergent property creativity as an emergent property Research Question: How has Evernote, a website that promotes collaborative-based learning, led to the formation of a more enhanced and evolved creativity known as group creativity? Technology Based Creative- Problem Solving Has Two Phases: 1. The Divergent Phase - Exploring, characterized by messiness - Evaluating Data 2. The Convergent Phase - Honing onto specific things. Extracting important information out of clutter. - Focusing on specific solutions Terms for Interaction and Collaboration: Synchronic Interactions - Interactions that occur simultaneously Diachronic Exchanges - Interactions that occur over a longer period of time "Recent models of group creativity (Sawyer, 2003) argue that collective creative work has to be understood as the synergy between synchronic interactions (i.e., parallel and simultaneous) and diachronic exchanges (i.e., interaction over long time spans and mediated by ostensible products)" (Sarmiento, Stahl 503). Quote Quote Potential Conclusions Potential Conclusions Online collaborative-based learning can lead to a greater extent of creativity People would be better suited to solve modern problems If I'm wrong: Technology will be a distraction. Students will find ways to cheat. Ultimately, a case should be made for using a specific website - being more technology dependent - because it can lead to creativity Sarmiento, Johann W. and Gerry Stahl.

Research Question Banu ORAL 21903454 Eng102.107 Why did I choose this topic? 2 Thesis Statement Thesis Statement Despite the opposing views, environmental factors, which are ecological; political, and socio-cultural factors can affect happiness positively. Banu ORAL 21903454 Eng102.107 3 Counter Argument Counter Argument Some argue that people are born happy or unhappy since the level of life satisfaction alters depending on the genes rather than the environmental factors. Based on the 'World Value Survey' reports, the authors state that those with more A allele genes are happier than others (Minkov and Bond 330). Banu ORAL 21903454 Eng102.107 Clifford Sosis advocates that although identical twins have similar tendencies towards positive and negative emotions, their happiness levels can also change with the change of non-genetic factors (5). 4 First Reason The first point as to the extent to which environmental factors affect happiness in terms of ecologic determinants is that ideal geographical conditions can enhance life satisfaction. First Reason Banu ORAL 21903454 Eng102.107 5 Sub Argument 1 Using proximity measures and Geographical Information Systems (GIS), it was determined that ideal environmental conditions have a positive impact on well-being (Brereton et al. 394-395). Banu ORAL 21903454 Eng102.107 5) a. “The coefficient of CO2 indicates that with 1 percent increase in carbon dioxide emissions decreases happiness up to 0.46 units…. The results show that with one percent increase in protection of species the level of happiness increases by 0.06 units.” (Majeed and Mumtaz 759-760). Sub Argument 2 Banu ORAL 21903454 Eng102.107 5) b. Second Reason Besides the idea mentioned before, another point to consider about how environmental factors affect happiness in terms of political determinants is that a high quality of government may lead to a high life satisfaction level. Second Reason Banu ORAL 21903454 Eng102.107 6 Sub Argument 1 Jörg Ott : “There is a high correlation between the quality of government and average happiness in nations, with technical quality as the leading aspect.” (13). Banu ORAL 21903454 Eng102.107 6) a. According to The World Values Survey covering 75 countries, the quality of government has an independent influence on citizens' life satisfaction in poor countries and the rich ones (Samanni and Holmberg 11). Sub Argument 2 Banu ORAL 21903454 Eng102.107 6) b. Third Reason The last point to examine about the extent to which environmental factors influence happiness in terms of socio-cultural determinants is that stereotyped cultural judgments in terms of individuality and gender equality can increase life satisfaction. Third Reason Banu ORAL 21903454 Eng102.107 7 Sub Argument 1 Dezhu Ye, Yew-Kwang Ng, and Yujun Lian revealed that in countries with individualistic cultures, people have a more substantial self-identity consistency, a more consistent self-view (521). Banu ORAL 21903454 Eng102.107 7) a. The cross-country culture survey indicates that gender egalitarianism can contribute to the well-being level with 37.1 % (Ye et al. 519). Sub Argument 2 Banu ORAL 21903454 Eng102.107 7) b. Conclusion Conclusion To summarize, notwithstanding the opposing views, environmental factors, which are ecological, political, and socio-cultural factors, positively can influence happiness. Body 1 Body 2 Body 3 Body 4 Based on the twin study, which observed changes in the subjective well-being of genetically identical twins due to non-genetic factors, it can be realized that happiness does not come from genes. It is claimed that life satisfaction may increase in ideal geographical conditions such as temperate climate, species conservation, and water quality. It is asserted that the high quality of government in terms of technical quality, impartiality, the rule of law, and absence of corruption may cause a rise in happiness level. As revealed by some, stereotyped cultural judgments regarding individuality and gender equality may improve subjective well-being.

Transcript: Research problem Purpose of this study is determine the difference that Early Childhood programs have on students who attend them prior to kindergarten. Hypothesis An effective Early Childhood program does improve a child's academic, cognitive, and social skills prior to kindergarten and throughout their school life. Research questions 1. What educational and social benefits are there for a child who starts a school program earlier? 2. Are state social standards necessary for Early Childhood Programs Methodology This research is a quantitative study because it looks at the effect of Early Childhood Educations prior to kindergarten. The interviews in this study will be performed in either a focus group setting or personal setting. The interviews and questionnaires will include both open and closed ended questions. Sample participants A total of about 75-100 kindergarten students enrolled in the Tulsa surrounding area with one kindergarten class from three different public schools will participate in this study. Not only will the students be in the study but also their teachers, parents and school administrators will also be part of the study. Results and conclusion The results will show that Early Childhood Education does make a difference in a student prior to kindergarten. The results will hopefully prove that parents are involved in their child's education prior to kindergarten and during kindergarten. Future studies could include not only following the kids during kindergarten but also throughout their entire schooling to see how Early Childhood Education effects their schooling form kindergarten to 12th grade.
