Abstract
This paper discusses the major educational psychology concerns for both elementary education and adult education such as intelligence, expectations, attitude, goals, motivation and stress. The paper states that educational psychology is a very valuable tool in any classroom, and specifically in the adult classroom. The author believes that educational psychology should be developed differently when considering adults because adult students have different needs than children.

Goals and Motivation
Expectations and Roles
Stress
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Stress is part of daily life for every person on the planet. This is also true in the classroom for teachers and students alike. Stress may be experienced in either a positive or negative way, and has a profound effect on performance and attitude. Teachers may experience negative stress for example when students appear unresponsive to teaching strategies, and/or fail to live up to expectation. This stress may then communicate itself to the students and degenerate into a cycle where the students perform poorly because that is what is expected of them. Furthermore, students, especially in the adult classroom, may experience stress because of pressure from the workplace to perform better, while having to spend extra time on their studies."

Abstract
This paper examines behaviorism and the roles of educational and clinical psychology in association with behaviorism.
From the Paper
" Psychology, in all of its branches, has its roots in theories that originated with Sigmund Freud. His work with the theories behind psychoanalysis opened the gates for other theorists, some of whom agreed with Freud and expanded on his work. Other theorists diverged from Freud's work, removing the psyche almost entirely from their own work. These theorists studied the field of behaviorism. Some notable behaviorists were John B. Watson, Edward L. Thorndike, and Burrhus Frederick (B.F.) Skinner. "

Abstract
Examines the differences between the two schools of psychology. Community as grounded in roots of ecological psychology & the social sciences. Traditional as based upon principles of psychoanalysis, behaviorism & humanistic psychotherapies. Uses actor Robert Downey, Jr. and his chronic substance abuse problems to illustrate how both schools of psychology would analyze his difficulties.
From the Paper
"Community psychology is a specialization within a larger realm encompassing psychology and the social sciences that is grounded in the roots of ecological psychology (What is community psychology..., 2000). Traditional psychology, on the other hand, is based upon fundamental principles of psychoanalysis, behaviorism, and humanistic psychotherapies (Garfield & Bergin, 1986). The two approaches differ in terms of views, values, and focus. The purpose of this report is to examine the differences between these two schools of psychology with reference to a specific individual seeking help for a life problem. The individual selected is the well-known actor, Robert Downey, Jr., whose substance abuse problems have been tracked in the popular press over the course of the last several years."

Abstract
This paper examines the benefits and disadvantages of inclusion programs from the point of view of the student as well as the teacher.
Inclusion means keeping special education students in regular classrooms and bringing the special support services to them. It discusses the affect it has on the children's education and on their parents. It details the types of schools where inclusion is more successful and where it is less successful. It discusses psychological and educational research done on this issue and presents its conclusions. It discusses several relevant education models such as: The itinerant model, used for certain categories of special education and the consultation model, when the teacher remains in one or two buildings with larger numbers of students to serve.
From the Paper
"In schools where collaboration was successfully implemented, the special needs children developed improved social skills, greater motivation to learn, and increased self-esteem. Positive peer relationships developed. In these situations, ?Collaboration brought complementary professional skills to planning, preparation, and delivery of classroom instruction? [Ripley, 1997]. ?The concepts of individualized instruction, multiple learning styles, team teaching, weekly evaluation, and detailed planning are all of direct benefit to students ?[Ripley, 1997] Middle Schools easily lend themselves to the principles of collaboration. Collaboration is an important process of general education of Middle School Students where interdisciplinary teams often share in planning [Hines, 2001]. Middle school structures can be used as a model for special education inclusion."

Educational Leadership, 2002.
Discusses how the concept of educational leadership has evolved to become multi-dimensional in nature.
1,150 words (approx. 4.6 pages), 6 sources, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Educational Leadership historically depended upon Educational Psychology for assessing the individual's personality traits in determining "who" would make a good school leader. The problem with personality and trait-based measurements, however, emerged in the difference between pencil-and-paper test performances, and interactive social behaviors, which often contradicted each other. As the ideas of school culture emerged with the introduction of Anthropology's understanding of "culture," school leadership was re-conceptualized towards a cultural and social-based understanding of inter-active participants with values and interests that required inclusivity in the school's community. As personality was regarded less and less relevant to educational leadership, sociality and communicative skills were regarded as more valuable, as were abilities in negotiation, compassion and patience. This has produced a multi-dimensional approach to educational leadership, where all levels of school activity, including the school's relation with its community, are included in understanding what it required of an educational leader.

From the Paper
"Ego psychology comes under the neo-analytic theory. Neo-analytic theory recasts and broadens psychoanalytic theory by underplaying sexuality, and by underplaying the significance of the unconscious. Instead it highlights the role of the ego. There are some neo-analytic theorists who concentrate on the process of the ego, while some concentrate on how the ego relates with and is influenced by other individuals or society or culture. Freud thought that the main job of ego was to intervene among the id, superego and external realism. Ego psychologists vary from Freud by stating that: The ego is concerned in adjustment, i.e. that the aim of behavior is adjustment to the surroundings and that the ego is powerfully concerned; and that the ego prevails from birth. Based on Freud's early works, a number of famous ego psychologists have done their works, but with a better and diverse prominence on ego. These ego psychologists can all be categorized as Neo-analysts. Examples are: Adler; Erikson; Freud; Hartmann; Loevinger and White. (Major Neoanalytic Theories & Theorists)"

Abstract
This paper discusses Carl Rogers as the founder of client-centered therapy. It first describes and examines his concept of client-centered therapy and how it needs to be applied by therapists during treatment sessions. The paper then looks at the ways that Rogers has influenced many psychological theories and therapies present today, especially positive psychology.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Client-Centered Therapy
Positive Psychology Movement
Carl Rogers and Positive Psychology
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Many of Carl Rogers's ideas have been influential on modern psychological practices, and specifically in the area of positive psychology. Client-centered therapy is humanistic in nature and is concerned with the quality of human experience. Froh (2004) posits that positive psychology mimics the ideas of Rogers's theory in that it emphasizes the importance of positive subjective experiences to achieve significant personal growth, even though many positive psychologists have attempted to distance themselves and the new theory from past models of therapy. Many positive psychology theorists believe that those in the humanistic realm did not use scientific methodologies as a foundation for their theories. However, "humanistic psychology has an extensive research base that uses both positivistic and phenomenological designs" (Misiak & Sexton, 1973; as cited in Froh, p. 19)."

Abstract
This paper offers an examination and criticism of the trend to air people's psychology problems on the media. Focusing on shows like "Dr. Phil" and radio talk shows, the paper argues that psychology has gone public. It states that the success of these types of shows is not about psychology itself, but about the viewer or listener coming out feeling good about themselves.
From the Paper
"The television and radio waves are clogged with programming devoted to helping viewers and listeners sort through their personal and emotional problems before an audience of millions. Log online and a whole world of "help" becomes available for anyone who feels the need to chat about a problem. Bookstores now have entire sections devoted to emotional health and well-being. And even the most mainstream magazines devote space to solving personal problems, whether relationships, phobias, or self-improvement."

Christopher Peterson's "Primer for Positive Psychology", 2007.

Abstract
This paper explains that Christopher Peterson in "Primer for Positive Psychology" not only attempts to define positive psychology but also shows how it can be applied to a person's daily life and how it is instrumental in the understanding of happiness. The author points out that the initial purpose of Peterson's narrative is to explain how positive psychology evolved from the primary study of social and cognitive psychology. The paper relates that Peterson makes clear that, while traditional psychology has focused on illness, positive psychology takes a "longitudinal" approach to the examination of happiness and well-being.
From the Paper
"Within Peterson's analysis he attempts to adopt a mediation and unity between the new field of positive psychology and social psychology. He specifically identifies several theories and relationships found in both fields. One of these fields is the understanding that "close social relationships are essential to well-being". Research into the field of human interactions and social dissonance has shown that social relationships are one of the strongest correlates to positive emotions. This is one of the primary mechanisms by which individuals can achieve a positive state of mind."

Abstract
This paper uses two differing psychological theories to examine Balinese culture. Balinese society is examined through the lens of both holistic psychology and cross-cultural psychology. The author contends that by applying these two differing theories, the usefulness of each approach can be determined.
From the Paper
"The purpose of this study is to provide useful and functional definitions of both holistic psychology and cross-cultural psychology through an examination of Balinese culture. By specifically applying both of these psychological theories to a specific culture, in this case that of Bali, it will be more evident the usefulness of each approach. Though considered by many to be non-mainstream forms of psychological investigation, in fact both of these conceptual frameworks have significant contributions to make to the study of human psychology and behavior. The following exposition will be built on the critical stance that both holistic psychology and cross-cultural psychology, despite existing misgivings in the academic community, are important theoretical tools for the 21st century psychologist. Both in a theoretical and practical sense, these approaches to the study of human behavior have much to offer."
