This section demonstrates that you understand what research has been conducted and what the results mean, so be sure to go beyond quoting and paraphrasing to explain and interpret the research as you understand it.· Explain the implications of the research on parental behavior and environmental factors as they relate to human personality development.· Based on your understanding of the research cited in the required sources, assess the emerging field of epigenetics, explaining how it is impacting the longstanding nature versus nurture paradigm and evaluating the possible promise and risks with respect to the human experiments.Be sure to cite all the required sources in your initial post.Cognitive Behavioral Interventions [WLOs: 1, 2] [CLOs: 1, 4]Prior to beginning work on this discussion,· Read the Assessment Strategies sections in Chapters 5 and 6 of the course textbook.· Read the required articles The Use of Behavioral Experiments to Modify Delusions and Paranoia: Clinical Guidelines and Recommendations and the Treatment of Mental Hypochondriasis: A Case Report (Combs, Tiegreen, & Nelson, 2007; Weck, 2014).· Read Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Techniques that Work (Links to an external site.), CBT and Behavioural Experiments (Links to an external site.), and Giving a Rationale for CBT (Links to an external site.)

Your experiment should include both cognitive and behavioral aspects and be measurable.· Apply cognitive and behavioral theories to explain and justify your experiment.Note that if your research does not turn up adequate data to fully support your thinking, feel free to speculate or use your imagination to provide plausible detail.RESOURCES ATTACHED
