**Week 4 (Mar) psych Theories of personality**
**Part 1**
This week we will be discussing chapters 13-17
**Chapter 13**
1) How would you describe your balance between your mind-body-spirit wellness? Do you find that you put in more focus on your mind vs. your body? Or is it the other way around? Do you believe that you are getting enough sleep? Do you believe you are getting enough exercise? What you think about your nutrition? Do you notice the effects these things have on your stress levels?
2) Complete the lab assessment, "Can you differentiate between exercise myths and facts?" What was that activity like for you?
**Chapter 14**
1) Have you ever tried stopping a behavior "cold turkey" or stopping a behavior all at once? Describe what you tried to stop doing and how it turned out in the long run.
2) Complete the lab assessment, "Are you lifestyle behaviors healthy?" Reflect on what that activity was like for you.
**Chapter 15**
1) Have you ever experienced stress because of one of your social identities (race/ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, ability status, socioeconomic class, religion…just to name a few). What was the situation and how did you cope with it?
2) What is something that you would like others to do/understand about one or more of your identities that would decrease your stress? What is something that you would like to do/understand about someone different than you to reduce their stress?
3) Complete the lab assessment, "What biases do you possess?". What was the activity like for you to complete it?
**Chapter 16**
1) Have you ever experienced burn out at a job? How did you know?
2) Complete the lab assessment "Do you have burnout or brownout?" What was that activity like for you?
**Chapter 17**
3) Families can be both sources of joy and stress. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) can have a profound impact on the way that individuals experience and cope with stress which in turn can affect overall health later in life. The following is a resource that describes the 10 different childhood traumas and their effect on health. It also provides an assessment questionnaire:

Given the sensitive nature of trauma, there is no expectation for you to respond to this question. I wanted to share this resource not just as your professor, but as a person who has experienced childhood trauma. I have found it very helpful both personally and professionally as a licensed psychologist when I work with patients with childhood trauma. Even if you have not experienced adverse childhood experiences, this resource can help you understand others that are ACEs. If you would like to comment and reflect on this resource, please also feel supported to do so.
**Assignment 2 (300 words)**
**Discussion Board – Week 8 (Mar)**
**My sentence from week one:** _After looking at the syllabus, I found module 4 interesting, particularly regarding biology, genetics, and evolution._
**Week 8 Discussion Instructions:**
As we end the 8-week session, I want to take a moment to recognize your efforts in
ANTH 210. Introduction to Anthropology is a big journey—it asks you to step outside of familiar ways of thinking and explore what it means to be human across cultures, times, and environments. That kind of exploration takes openness, effort, and curiosity—and you should be proud of everything you've accomplished.
For your Week 8 discussion board, you will be graded based on your clear and thorough yet BRIEF responses to
ALL of the following questions:
1.
**Start with Week 1**
· Find your Week 1 discussion post.
· Copy and paste 1 sentence from what you wrote.
· Using that one sentence, explain one big concept, idea, or perspective you’re taking away from this course and how your thinking has stayed the same or changed since Week 1.
2.
**Applying what you’ve learned**
· Based on who you said you were or what you cared about in Week 1, describe one specific way you plan to use something from this course (name at least one concept, reading, or activity) in your academic, professional, or personal life.
3.
**Evidence of growth**
· Identify one skill, habit, or way of thinking you’ve developed this semester.
· Briefly describe what looks different now and how that change will help you in future classes, work, or life.
