The pursuit for the scientific study of human behavior and psychological process often begin with the questions: Why do people act the way they do? and What would happen should there be a sudden shift in the situation?

There are times when our curiosity and quest for answers lead us to simply rummage for information from easily accessible sources (i.e internet), or people who are also uninformed about the subject of our interest.

As students of Psychology, who have learned the importance of scientific methodologies in making sense of the human mind and experience, think of two (2) scenarios where scientific approach is a central consideration in the context of the current COVID19 pandemic.

Discuss the rationale of your answers. Three, with a maximum of five (5) sentences for each paragraph, should be sufficient for each scenario.

Select 1 or 2 topics or concepts from the weekly reading from Week Six to include in your Learning Journal. Be sure to include reflections on the scriptural reading for the week in your journal as well. Use the template provided each week to organize and create your Journal by typing your responses into each section. The template for each week can be found on the Introduction page of this course in the Additional Resources. When you are finished, copy and paste what you have written from each section of the rubric onto a WORD document in paragraph format and upload your completed document into the assignment area to submit for grading. (Do not submit the rubric, this is just a guide for you to use).  Title the document “Week Six Journal Entry,” double space, 12″ Times New Roman font. Your response in each section must be at least 100 words. Your sections must be labeled, bold, and flush left. You must write in the 3rd person for the first two sections and write in the 1st person for the last two sections because it is reflective. There is a handout explaining this in the additional resources on the introduction page. Remember that there are no right or wrong answers to these weekly entries. Your instructor is looking for your ability to think critically and incorporate your reflections with the course materials.

Weekly journal assignments represent academic work, and as such, should follow APA guidelines for citing and referencing sources and use standard American English and proper grammar. Points will be deducted for writing that does not reflect appropriate college-level writing, answering all elements of the question, and appropriate APA citations including a reference page.
