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. Saad works with primarily with children and a few adults that demonstrate externalizing behaviors rather than internalized behaviors. These behaviors can include erratic behavior and tantrums in children and substance abuse in adults. In her interview, she also describes what attachment styles are and how they affect you throughout life.
- 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: Parents determine a child’s attachment style, two very impactful presentations of parenting styles include, overbearing and protective, and neglectful. Both styles can impact the child greatly throughout life, they may have struggles learning how to navigate their own lives when they get older because they were not taught anything.
Take-Away #2: Dr. Saad states that the early years of child development are the most important and have the greatest impact on how the child develops into an adult. The early years of child development shapes their personality because their brains are developing rapidly and taking everything in like a sponge, therefore, if a parent is consistently anxious, the child will pick up on this and is likely to exhibit similar behaviors.
Take-Away #3: Children need a sense of security; they need to know that someone is always in their corner. Dr. Saad give an example of a child that she worked with, she picked him up every day from school and although it was not something that she thought would have a big impact, it did because the child had something that he could count on.
- 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 enjoyed that she gave insight into her specific field, she elaborated on all of the topics that she covered very well in order to make sure that they were well understood. I also enjoyed the story about the boy that she help and how baking a pie with him, helped him so much because he was able to have a sense of security that he was never able to have before.
B). What I liked Least (or would like to have heard more about):
I would have liked to hear about specific things she does for specific problems. How does she work with those who have constant tantrums or how does she work with adults that have substance abuse problems.
C). My overall rating: (1 to 5 stars): 5
