Interviews with the Experts: Assignment Sheet
The Interviews with the Experts Videos are intended to extend your understanding of the material in the textbook by giving you a behind-the-scenes look at aspects of personality and its application by some of the leaders in the field. There are no right or wrong answers, but your grade will be based on the nature, quality, and relevance of your responses.
- Imagine that you are writing a brief description of this video for people who are considering watching it. How would you characterize or summarize it (in 50-75 words).
Dr. Ianni speaks about trauma and development in relation to the amygdala and frontal cortex. She speaks about trauma and childhood development and vulnerabilities they experience and how this impacts them in their development and into their adulthood and coping strategies. They also discuss the development of PET scans and the world of psychology and the benefits they have from these types of scans.
- Identify any three “take-aways” that you got from this video. These could be any points that it made, thoughts that it sparked, or issues or applications that it discussed.
Take-Away #1:_I Love Lucy was an excellent example about being triggered as an adult from childhood trauma. So many children can experience trauma and this can really affect their adulthood either in a negative or positive.
Take-Away #2: Dr. Ianni mentions seeing on the PET scans that their brain make-up can essentially change due to the successes of therapy. I thought this was interesting as I only really know PET scans to look for cancer, but it can really help in so many other ways.
Take-Away #3: The “flight, fight, or fix” coping strategy was interesting because I’ve only heard of flight or fight in the sense of a response your body has to threatening events.
- Imagine that you are writing a review of this video that summarizes your evaluation of it. Please indicate what you liked BEST and LEAST about the video and give it a rating (based on a 5-star system). Note that the evaluation of your response is based on your identifying the things you liked BEST and LEAST, and your assignment of rating, and NOT the number stars you give it or whether you liked or disliked the video. Your evaluations will be helpful in relation to encouraging you to reflect more deeply on the video, and provide us with feedback that can be useful in relation to the value of the video’s use in the future. Be sure to identify:
A). What I liked Best:
I found her interview very interesting due things I was unaware of, especially to the advancement of technology in the psychology world. I can’t relate personally to any childhood trauma and its impact on my adulthood, but there were other things that shaped who I am today. My parents still taught me coping strategies to apply to various things that come up throughout my life. Dr. Ianni spoke so genuinely and naturally and I could tell she pours her heart into her work regarding this topic.
B). What I liked Least (or would like to have heard more about): The eye-movement desensitization reprocessing is something I would have liked to hear more about in regards to a therapy used for trauma. I only recently learned about this type of therapy and would like to hear more of what Dr. Ianni knows about this.
C). My overall rating: (1 to 5 stars): 5___
