Dоctоrаl Quаlifying Exаminatiоn Nicolette Bauermeister (U96260578) Summer 2023 Day 1 (Cognate in Psychology) Please read the following scenario and respond to each of the questions below it. Bella is a 13 year-old 7th grade student at Tampa Middle School (TMS), a public school with about 1200 students. She is a new student at TMS, having attended 6th grade at a school in another district (Miami-Dade in south Florida). Bella was referred to the student assistance team (SAT) by two teachers who were concerned with her occasional tearfulness, social isolation, and preoccupation with returning to Miami. The teachers noted that she completes work on grade level with “B” averages in each class, but demonstrates symptoms of emotional problems that may pose barriers to learning. When you review Bella’s cumulative file, you learn from a previous psychological report conducted in elementary school that she achieved a full scale score of 141 on the WISC and was subsequently identified as intellectually gifted. You also learn that she currently lives with her biological father and his wife, and an older sister, Jana. All members of Bella’s family identify as non-Hispanic White. She had lived with her mother and Jana until May 2020, when both children were removed from the home due to substantiated reports of physical and emotional abuse that became known to authorities after Jana attempted suicide and was hospitalized. A July 2020 custody report from the FL Department of Children and Families (DCF) specifies that the mother is not permitted to see her daughters without supervision, but can talk with them over the phone. No history of assessment, diagnosis, or individual treatment of emotional or behavior problems for Bella is noted in the files. The DCF report noted that Bella and Jana share a case manager, who arranged for family therapy with the girls, their father, and stepmother. Other information from records includes that she has perfect attendance at TMS, but changed schools often during elementary school. She was served in gifted education (one day per week pull-out model) from grades 2-4. In your first meeting with Bella, she expresses surprise her teachers had concerns. She explains that she gets her work done and doesn’t bother anyone in class. When asked about concerns, Bella noted that she misses her mother a great deal and is upset with Jana for sharing personal family details that caused them to have to leave Miami. She believes Jana is ungrateful for all of the sacrifices their mother made to raise them, noting that after a period of homelessness their mother often worked two jobs to keep a roof over their heads. She acknowledged moving often during childhood depending on availability of housing, and noted that she often found school to be a bright point in her day because she liked to learn and liked the routine. She said school tends to come easily to her. She has not tried to make any friends at TMS and hasn’t met any neighbors in her community, as she hopes to return to Miami soon. She reported feeling strange in Tampa, as she wasn’t close to her father before moving in with him and she feels like talking to her stepmother would be disloyal to her mother. She used to enjoy playing basketball in Miami, but hasn’t played at all since moving to Tampa. Her father seems annoyed by her yelling at and fighting with Jana, and threatened to take away her phone if she hits Jana again. Bella said her phone is the only thing connecting her to her mother, and feels her dad does not understand her. Bella seems receptive to getting help to address some difficulties with her family and indifference to TMS. Regarding friendships, she reported she doesn’t know how to go about meeting new people, and regrets that everyone she knew from her childhood is in Miami. She has not developed any close friends at TMS, and spends her lunch time alone, completing schoolwork. Bella tearfully noted that she feels like no one could possibly understand how much she misses her mother, and how Jana ruined their life. Regarding her parents, she reported that her mother tells her daily that she misses her, but it appears unlikely the DCF will award her custody because they labeled her “depressed” and “cruel to others.” She is trying to save money to relocate to Tampa to be closer to her daughters. Bella’s father is open to supporting her, but bewildered at Bella’s quick temper and aggression. Regarding physical functioning, Bella said “I’m always tense, my stomach hurts a lot, and I can’t fall asleep…at night, I just can’t stop thinking about my mom—I’m so mad at Jana. I feel like I can never relax.” When asked about positive affective experiences, Bella noted she does not laugh or smile often, but did used to feel energized during basketball games. Her former feelings of pride about academic accomplishments occur less often than feelings of sadness or embarrassment about her home life. ----- Day #1 (Cognate in Psychology) ---- In your role at Tampa Middle School, you have the opportunity to support Bella, her teaching staff, and her family. Your response today should demonstrate your understanding of the affective, biological, cognitive, developmental, and social aspects of behavior relevant to conceptualizing Bella’s current behavior, and ultimately supporting Bella indirectly through consultation with school staff. (A discussion of how to support Bella directly through clinical services is not expected in this Day 1 response, but rather will be addressed in Day 2 of qualifying exams). Please cite empirical literature (author only, no date needed) to support your response. 1. Based on the case study presented and your knowledge of theories of affective aspects of behavior, describe examples of developmental pathways that may relate to Bella’s current mood and general affect that manifest in her social-emotional, behavioral, and academic challenges. 2. Based on the case study presented and your knowledge of theories of biological aspects of behavior, describe examples of neural, physiological, and/or genetic influences that may relate to Bella’s current social-emotional, behavioral, and academic challenges; what risk factors are present for relevant forms of mental illness? 3. Based on the case study presented and your knowledge of cognitive aspects of behavior, describe theories of learning, memory, thought processes and/or decision-making that may relate to Bella’s current social-emotional, behavioral, and academic challenges; what instructional content would be relevant for Bella’s mood management (e.g., SEL skills)? 4. Based on the case study presented and your knowledge of developmental aspects of behavior, describe theories and concepts related to transitions, growth, and development across an individual’s life that may help to better understand Bella’s current social-emotional, behavioral, and academic challenges? 5. Based on the case study presented and your knowledge of social aspects of behavior, describe theories and concepts related to group processes, attitudes, attributions, cultural diversity, and/or discrimination that may help to better understand Bella’s current social-emotional, behavioral, and academic challenges? 6. Based on the case study, provide two examples of how her current social-emotional, behavioral, and academic challenges likely result from the interplay of different bases of behavior referenced in parts 1-5 above (e.g., social concepts that are particularly salient to her developmental stage)? 7. Based on your responses from 1-6 above, how would you consult with Bella’s teachers?
