Intelligence Testing Among Inmates
[ send me this paper ]
12 pages in length. There are a number of social and environmental factors that encourage delinquency; one in particular, however, that has received significant study is considered more than the rest: decreased intelligence. Research has shown that an individual whose intelligence level is below average can display myriad socially unacceptable behaviors. It can readily be argued, however, that a significant number of perpetrators engage in some form of delinquency at some time during their formative youth without the added burden of compromised intelligence; in this particular case, motivation for such behavior is often placed upon an unstable home life or other social factors. The prevalence of intelligence testing within the penal system has attempted to illustrated the correlation between lower aptitude and criminal activity, providing a springboard upon which further study continues to occur.

Intercultural Communication And Cultural Identity
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. The assumptions about cultural 'norms' impact the interviewee's behavior on a day-to-day basis by virtue of making her extraordinarily aware of how she is expected to act in a society so different to her own, which directly relates to the inherent challenges and disadvantages she recognizes as being related to her culture being outside the 'norm.' She responds to those challenges by paying particular attention to how she interacts when in public and enlists the help of friends as sources of strength and support to guide her down the correct path of cultural assimilation. The interviewee was pleased to find that over time, there are certain advantages associated with assimilating to the normative culture, not the least of which includes the sense of belonging that is most often withheld for those who earn such acceptance only after proving the ability - and desire - to integration. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Interdependence Theory And The Theory Of Learned Helplessness
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. The manner by which the theory of learned helplessness is intrinsically related to the interdependence theory – which states that close relationships are about behavioral choices that create rewarding and/or costly interactions – speaks to the vast differences between long-term (LT) and short-term (ST) relationships. Examining child abuse and domestic violence in this light provides a significant basis upon which the student can draw inferences as to how this occurs, inasmuch as both children and spouses are typically involved in long-term relationships with their abusers. The investment of emotions and the existence of family ties often precipitates the learned helplessness for the reason that the abused child or adult believes on the one hand that their daddy/husband did not mean to do it, while on the other thinks that nothing he or she does will make the situation any better. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

Interpersonal Interaction
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. The verbal interaction that took place between the two individuals speaks to the variations in social communication that govern one's existence. While the man was inherently more abrupt, straightforward and outspoken, the woman – who felt as though she were being somewhat attacked regarding her religious position – was significantly more subdued and reserved, even to the point of being intimidated. Her inability to confront the man with just as strong a conviction as what he demonstrated only served to make her feel that much more ill at ease with the entire conversation. Indeed, this interaction illustrates the manner by which people are bound by certain criteria they have developed throughout their lives, often to the extent of being ill-equipped to handle such intense interpersonal contact. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Interpretive and Traditional Research
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper assessing the process by which attitudes toward research methodologies change over time. It has been a shift for accommodation that has elevated qualitative research to the level of “real” research in only the past generation. Examination of qualitative research efforts in education done in the 1970s and 1980s to that produced today reveals the emergence of a discipline that today is accepted as being quite legitimate and valid in every respect. Of course quantitative methods have their place in investigations into learning processes, but qualitative methods are often better suited because of the very variability in the individuals comprising the object of study. The paper discusses Kuhn’s views on the origins of scientific revolutions, as well as Popper, Gadamer, Heidegger, Howard Gardner and Daniel Goldman. Bibliography lists 12 sources.

Intervention in Child Abuse: Multicultural Issues
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page discussion of the problems child abuse presents for a child that is from a non-mainstream culture. Young children of these families are often oblivious to mainstream society. By the time they have reached school age they have often acquired at least some familiarity with mainstream culture but they still strongly identify with the culture in which they have been raised. These children may or may not, however, be fully conversant with mainstream culture. When one of them is abused they are immersed in that mainstream culture almost overnight. Even when they are placed with a family member they are still subjected to a never-ending entourage of one professional after another who is interested in protecting their welfare. These professionals encounter a number of challenges in dealing with these children. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Investigating Advice on Communication Between Couples
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper comparing the theories of 5 self-help relationship books to the findings of current communications research reports. There are very good self-help books available discussing the male-female romantic relationship, but the reader does indeed need to be aware of the discrepancies of many of them with both current communications research findings and common sense. With the exception of Gray, every one of the problems discussed in both the books and the communications journal articles referenced for this paper has as its base a lack of honesty on the part of at least one, and normally both involved players. Whether that lack of honesty is intentional or not, it nevertheless is there and blocks the path of any true and lasting relationship. Bibliography lists 11 sources.
