Evaluate Phillip Markoff’s personality from the      standpoint of your chosen theory. Explain how the chosen theoretical perspective provides      insights into Markoff’s behavior.

Discussion 1

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read Chapter 7 from the Harré (2006) e-book as well as the required Maslow (1943), Freud (1910), Bandura (1999), and the United States Office of Personnel Management (n.d.) articles.

One approach to understanding personality is using trait theories. The most influential trait approach contends that five traits, or factors called the “Big 5,” lie at the core of personality. The five factors are Openness, Conscientiousness, Extroversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism (Emotional Stability).

This week, you will complete two different versions of the Big 5 Personality Test. First, go through the Qualtrics platform to take the complete test online. After you have completed the online test, you will see a link to download the Big Five Personality Short Form document version. Click the link and save the Big Five Personality Short Form document to your computer. Complete and score the short form version within the downloaded document. Once you have completed both the online and document versions attach the completed document short form to your initial post. In the discussion forum analyze and briefly explain the Big 5 Personality Test as a scientific tool. Detail your experience with both the online and document versions and give your opinion as to which of the two provided the better experience. Be sure to cite specific reasons for your statements.

Using the PSY600 Making Sense of the Big 5 Personality Short Form tool as a guide, analyze the results from your document version. (Note: This is for educational purposes. There is no right or wrong personality type.) Assess how accurate the results are based on your understanding of yourself and the results as analyzed. Refute any areas with which you disagree providing examples which may disprove the assessment results. Evaluate the contemporary applications of personality tests today using the information provided in the United States Office of Personnel Management (n.d.) article on assessment and selection. Assess how knowing one’s personality type can benefit them personally and professionally.
Discussion 2

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read the transcript Seven Day of Rage: The Craigslist Killer from CBS News and review Chapter 7 from the Harré (2006) e-book as well as the Maslow (1943), Freud (1910), and Bandura (1999) articles.

In this discussion you will assume the role of a Psychology instructor creating a short graduate level presentation on personality. The case study for the presentation will center on Phillip Markoff, also known as an alleged Craigslist Killer. To begin, choose one of the personality theories from the required readings and research a minimum of one peer-reviewed article on your chosen theory in the Ashford University Library. Create a PowerPoint presentation of four-seven slides (not including the title and reference slides). The presentation must begin with a Title slide that provides the title of the lecture, your name, the course name and number, your instructor’s name and the date submitted. The presentation must end with a Reference slide that includes all the resources used for your lecture presentation cited in APA format as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

The body of the presentation must include the following elements.

  • Provide a definition and brief description of the      chosen theory.
  • Evaluate Phillip Markoff’s personality from the      standpoint of your chosen theory.
  • Explain how the chosen theoretical perspective provides      insights into Markoff’s behavior.

For assistance in creating effective PowerPoint presentations you may access Garr Reynolds’s Top Ten Slide Tips . Be certain to support your statements within the presentation with a minimum of three references. These may include up to two required resources for this week.

Once you have created your PowerPoint, you will present your lecture in a screencast. You may use any screencasting software you choose. (Quick-start guides are available for Screen-Cast-O-Matic for your convenience.) It is recommended that you create a script for, and practicing your lecture presentation before recording it as you will be limited to a screencast of no more than five minutes. Although you are required to include the Title and Reference slides in the presentation, you should not read these slides during the screencast.

Create the screencast of your lecture presentation using the software of your choice. Attach your PowerPoint presentation to your initial post and copy and paste the URL for your screencast into your discussion forum response before submitting it.

Biopsychosocial Summary Report

If you are new to this: the biopsychosocial form is what you use during your interview, and the biopsychosocial report is your own summary of information, from the form, written for your case.

Biopsychosocial forms: Your form must contain (or you must modify it to contain) the following sections: presenting problem, history of problem, developmental/medical history, family history, educational/social history, special considerations, mental status and client’s strengths, clinical findings, diagnostic impressions, and tentative treatment recommendations. When submitting your genogram add it to your biopsychosocial form that you have already completed and submitted. 

After completing your interview, use the biopsychosocial form and write up a biopsychosocial summary report which will become a 10 page summary report. You can reference it in your PowerPoint presentation where you think it is needed to make a point. Upload the biopsychosocial form into the appendix of the summary report. Do not include a link; again, the forms must be uploaded into an appendix.

 

Genogram Report

Please draw or include a genogram generated from a graphic program that would best fit your case used in the Biopsychosocial. You can reference it in your PowerPoint presentation where you think it is needed to make a point. The genogram should includethree generations of relevant information. The genogram should be scanned and uploaded into the appendix of your narrative paper. Do not include a link; again, the forms must be uploaded into an appendix. Again, the genogram form does not count toward the narrative paper 10 pages.  The narrative is just the biopsychosocial you previously submitted.  

 

Case Study Paper

Students are required to complete a paper on a specific child and adolescent diagnosis. The purpose of this assignment is for students to develop a clinical diagnosis and treatment plan in a case report. This is exactly what you will be doing on your own one day very soon. The paper should be 10 typewritten double-spaced pages.  The body of this paper should consist of the diagnosis you gave the interviewee that is consistent with the findings in the biopsychosocial for your specific interviewee, and your tentative treatment recommendations. Discussion of diagnosis, differential diagnosis and tentative treatment recommendations will become the remaining 10 pages that complete your paper. The paper must follow APA style guidelines.

Submit this via assignment link for each respective Assignment in Blackboard.

PowerPoint Presentation

The PP presentation is directly related as a matter of fact it is the summary of each of the previous assignments put together. The PP presentation must contain 10 slides plus an appendix. Your introduction slide (very first slide) is not counted as part of the 10 slide body. At the end of the 10 slide body you will insert an appendix section which will contain the consent form(s). These documents are a fundamental part of your presentation. Upload them into your PP. Do not give me a link to either of them.  They do not count toward the 10 slide body.

The 10 slide body will contain the following:

a. Demographic Information

What are the names (first name only) ages, and birth order of all family/couple members?

· What are the occupations and education levels of all family/couple members (where appropriate)?

· What are the roles of each family/couple member?
