Case Study Design and Analysis

For this assignment, you will identify the main concepts and terms learned in this week’s online lectures and textbook readings and create a fictional case study (may not be related to actual individuals).

You will use the following guidelines while writing your case study:

  • Background: You need to describe the demographics of individuals involved in the case study such as their age, gender, occupation, education, relationships, and family history.
  • The case story: You need to describe a scenario demonstrating individuals or a couple contemplating or going through a marriage divorce or seeking an annulment.
  • Analysis of the case: You need to utilize the information learned from the online lectures and text readings to analyze the case study. Be specific in your analysis using supporting evidence from outside sources when needed.
  • Recommendations: You need to end the case study with your recommendations or suggestions you would have implemented in such a situation to assist in changing the behavior of the individuals involved in the case study.

Submission Details:

  • Support your responses with examples.
  • Reference any sources you use using the APA format on a separate page.Below is a link to an abridged version of Dr. Randy Pausch’s “Last Lecture.”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncoSRKoU6GQ

    After viewing this video, would you say that your views on death and dying have changed at all? If so, in what way(s)? What lessons can we learn from this man facing his own mortality square in the face?

    By the way, if you want to watch the original lecture, you can also find it on the web, but it is over an hour long. Dr. Pausch’s own website (including the lecture) can be found here:

  •  imagine that you are now a professional psychologist, working in the preschool education as an educational psychologist that you aspire to. You are charged with creating professional development for an interdisciplinary team of professionals in your workplace, on how theories, principles, and evidence-based best practices of cognitive and affective psychology can be used to help people in your work context.
  • Introduction: Briefly discuss in very general terms, how the three topics relate to each other and how they can be used to help people in your work context.
  • Topic sections: The briefing paper will have three sections, each dedicated to one of these topics:
    • Problem-Solving and Creativity.
    • Decision Making and Reasoning.
    • Human and Artificial Intelligence.

Within each section:

  • Briefly analyze the origins and evolution of each theory that you will reference in relation to this topic.
  • Explain how theories, principles, and evidence-based best practices related to the topic can be used to explain behavior and help people.
  •  Remember, these factors should be relevant to the context. For each of these:
    • Analyze how, and to what extent, neuroscience can provide explanation of relevant phenomena.
    • Analyze how affective manifestations may impact cognitive performance.
    • Analyze how theories and principles related to at least one of the topics in your paper apply to culturally diverse populations.
    • Explain ethical issues that might arise in connection to at least one of the topics.
      • Cite the APA Code of Ethics, or another code of ethics if it is more relevant to your area.
  • Conclusion: End with a succinct statement that sums up the utility of what you have presented.

Discuss what ethical boundaries are relevant in the situation and the importance of maintaining those boundaries.

Explain the ethical decision-making process. Frame the process around your dilemma when discussing each of the ethical decision-making steps that a paraprofessional must complete.

Address areas that may require collegial or supervisory consultation to resolve this dilemma.

Note: It is acceptable to get inspiration for this dilemma from the textbook if needed; you must create your own dilemma, not simply revisit one from the text.

Shortly after Hurricane Katrina damaged the New Orleans and surrounding areas, news reports of groups of looters were announced. Oftentimes, when under the influence of a crowd, individuals will display aggressive or unlawful behavior that they would not otherwise participate in. This phenomenon is referred to as deindividuation. Research and discuss the following: Identify and describe a historical event in which the deindividuation phenomenon occurred.  Explain the process of deindividuation (e.g., how it works, what changes happen within the individual to allow for unusual behavior).  Discuss how deindividuation might also occur outside the presence of a crowd, such as in other settings in which a person feels anonymous. Include at least 3 sources in your paper. Use in-text citations and a reference list according to APA-style guidelines

Many names have been recognized as notable business leaders. Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Welch, and Colleen Barrett are all leaders identified for their unique approach to leading people. Please review the “Contemporary Business Leaders” document to locate more business leaders. Select one leader from that list and respond to the following questions.

Discuss (1,250-1,500 words) what you learned about the selected individual as a leader and the leadership style used. Include the following in your discussion:

  1. Identify a leader and justify why you selected that particular leader. What organization(s) is the leader affiliated with? In what industry is the leader recognized? How long was the leader in a leadership position?
  2. Discuss which leadership theory best describes the chosen leader’s approach to leading people.
  3. What was the leader’s greatest achievement?
  4. Identify a significant challenge the leader faced and how the challenge was handled. Did the response align more with a managerial role or a leadership role?
  5. What power base did the leader use in handling or resolving the challenge?
  6. Compare the leadership style used by your selected leader against that of the leader’s successor/predecessor (or competitor if successor/predecessor is not applicable). Was there a difference in the leadership style? Which leader do you think is more effective and why?
  7. Include a personal reflection and identify two to three attributes you hope to emulate or avoid (based on studying this leader) in order to be a successful leader.

You are required to use at least two external sources to provide evidence to support the leadership style your selected leader showed. This should not be completed based on an opinion.
