After describing the incident you either witnessed or experienced, explain how four (4) of the course concepts you were exposed to (either in lecture or the book) have helped you better understand the social psychology of this incident. Make sure to clearly and thoroughly explain each concept before describing how it has helped your understanding of social psychology. Underline each concept. Cite your

explanations of concepts using the format (Text, p.XX), or (Lecture, Date). Please do not attach a Title Page, Bibliography or Reference Page. This is unnecessary. Instead of quoting, paraphrase. For tips on 4 This syllabus will be modified as necessary. Changes will be announced in class. paraphrasing, you can do a search on Google.com to find a site such as

Your grade will be heavily based on the clarity and completeness of your concept explanations, as well as how persuasively you show that the concepts have helped you better understand the incident. It also will be based on following these directions (i.e. word count, number of underlined concepts, explaining an incident).

Need article read and summarized as well critiqued.

 

Article Critique Paper

1. Read article attached

2. Summarize of the article: (1.5 to 3 pages)

a. Type of study (Was it experimental or correlational? How do you know?)

b. Variables (What were the independent and dependent variables? Be specific with these. Define the terms independent and dependent variable and make sure to identify how they are operationally defined in the article)

c.  Method (Was there a random sample of participants? Was there random assignment to groups? What did the participants do in the study?). How was data collected (online, in person, archival data, etc.)

d.  Summary of findings (What were their findings?)

3. Critique of the study: (1.5-3 pages)

a.  In your opinion, how valid and reliable is the study? Why? (make sure to define what reliable and valid mean and apply these definitions to the study you are critiquing. Merely mentioning that it is valid and reliable is not enough – you have to apply those terms to the article)

b. Did the study authors correctly interpret their findings, or are there any alternative interpretations you can think of?

c. Did the authors of the study employ appropriate ethical safeguards?

d. Briefly describe a follow-up study you might design that builds on the findings of the study you read how the research presented in the article relates to research, articles or material covered in other sections of the course

e. Describe whether you feel the results presented in the article are weaker or stronger than the authors claim (and why); or discuss alternative interpretations of the results (i.e. something not mentioned by the authors) and/or what research might provide a test between the proposed and alternate interpretations

f. Mention additional implications of the findings not mentioned in the article (either theoretical or practical/applied)

g. Identify specific problems in the theory, discussion or empirical research presented in the article and how these problems could be corrected. If the problems you discuss are methodological in nature, then they must be issues that are substantial enough to affect the interpretations of the findings or arguments presented in the article. Furthermore, for methodological problems, you must justify not only why something is problematic but also how it could be resolved and why your proposed solution would be preferable. ARTICLE CRITIQUE INSTRUCTIONS

h. Describe how/why the method used in the article is either better or worse for addressing a particular issue than other methods Reference only the article provided

4. Brief summary of the article: (1-2 paragraphs)

a. Write the words “Brief Summary”, and then begin the brief summary below this

b.  In ONE or TWO paragraphs maximum, summarize the article again, but this time I want it to be very short. In other words, take all of the information that you talked about in the summary portion of this assignment and write it again, but this time in only a few sentences.

c. The reason for this section is that I want to make sure you can understand the whole study but that you can also write about it in a shorter paragraph that still emphasizes the main points of the article. Pretend that you are writing your own literature review for a research study, and you need to get the gist of an article that you read that helps support your own research across

5. References 

a. 1 page

b. Provide the reference for this article in proper APA format

Formatting and Requirements:

1. Use APA format

2. Times new romans, 12pt, double spaced

Imagine that you are a professor teaching a psychology ethics course and you have to decide on a hypothetical case that you will use to educate your students for a couples and family therapy learning module.

In the case analysis, please include the following information:

  • Describe a hypothetical couple or family (choose one) and the issues and concerns one or the other brings to you.
  • Provide some background on the couple or family, including hypothetical information related to race, socioeconomic status, culture, sexuality, and psychological issues.
  • Identify 3 ethical challenges you might face in working with your hypothetical clients.
  • Describe the APA guidelines corresponding with each and how you would safeguard against ethics violations.

The paper should be 5 to 6 pages, and include a minimum of 3-5 scholarly resources

In this unit’s Discussion Boards, you will explore how development affects the young adult’s ability to expand their social skills to create relationships that promote their sense of self.

During early adulthood, adults face many new challenges related to leaving their families (physically and cognitively) to develop their own families. These families can include friends, intimate partners, and/or peer groups (such as coworkers) that serve as new “families.” Those who are unable to form these bonds suffer from increased feelings of isolation. In these years, adults develop their social skills to build relationships and continue to develop their sense of self in the comfort of these relationships.

  1. Using Erikson’s psychosocial theory, explain the importance of developing different types of relationships in early adulthood.
  2. Select one of the following topics from the list below and use the Library to search peer-reviewed journals to find an article on your chosen topic. Then, post the link to the article in the Discussion Thread and write a short summary of the research question, method of experimentation, and results. How can you use this information to help clients?
  3. After reviewing your classmates’ article and summary, how might the findings of the study be used to develop interventions to help clients? Remember that psychologists often work on teams, so use this opportunity to build interventions as a class (team).

Topics:

  • Divorce
  • Lifestyle choice (live alone, cohabitate, marry)
  • Loneliness
  • Social relationship (any issue)

Describe the pros and cons of different ideas about the origins of language, including the difficulties involved in establishing evidence for any one perspective.
