Creating a Professional Resumé

Prior to beginning work on this assignment, please be sure to complete your initial post for the Initial Call discussion and review the Résumé resources provided on the Ashford Career Services website.

For this assignment, you will create a professional résumé from the point of view of the mental health professional involved in the Initial Call discussion scenario. Taking on this role, create a one-page résumé using the resources provided by Ashford Career Services.

Once you have completed your résumé, review the characteristics of the patient you chose for the Initial Call discussion. Consider how reading the résumé might have impacted the patient’s initial call. Evaluate how the reported symptoms and presenting problems may have been impacted by the content and presentation of your résumé, had the patient read this on your website prior to contacting you. Create this one- to two-paragraph evaluation on a new page in the same document as your résumé. Submit the document with the résumé and evaluation to Waypoint.

Examine ethical issues related to cross-cultural research and the necessary course of action.

/in /by

Please read instructions carefully

Ethics are a critical and essential element of psychology. Psychologists must follow all appropriate laws and policies of their organization, locality, state, nation, and professional group. Additional ethical issues are often posed when conducting research cross-culturally, such as new or different issues regarding power and privilege, and factors involving different ideas and beliefs about gender, age, status, religion, and so on. Great skill and a delicate touch are often required to be certain each person appropriately follow all ethical considerations to the satisfaction of all involved, yet achieving this goal is essential to ensure a high standard of research as well as a high standard of behavior.

For this week, you will examine ethical issues related to cross-cultural research and the necessary course of action. You also will examine ethical dilemmas that you might encounter related to your own personal culture and point-of-view. In addition, you will finalize your Module 4 Assessment for final submission.

While many psychologists may be familiar with ethical considerations in their own culture, such as the use of Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) to review research, or the existence of professional documents such as American Psychological Association’s (APA) code of ethics, when conducting research outside of their majority home culture, they may be at a loss. For instance, the psychologist may not be aware of different rules and regulations for research in different nations, or about various spoken and unspoken cultural beliefs about morals and ethics and the role and purpose of research, such as differing understandings and beliefs about what merits co-authorship or what constitutes privacy and confidentiality. Familiarizing yourself with such ethical considerations will be important for you to understand in your future professional practice.

Examine ethical issues related to cross-cultural research and the necessary course of action.

Consider the following:

Professor Plum wants to investigate cross-cultural differences in attitudes towards different foods. He is very interested in nation “X”. However, he has never been there nor does he know the language or culture or the political situation. He also does not know if there are any psychologists living in that nation. Understanding attitudes about foods in this nation may help with people with eating disorders in Professor Plum’s country and eventually may help people with eating disorders in many nations.

As you consider Professor Plum’s research, think about the impact of his plans on human subject protection. Also, consider the ethical implications of the aims of his research purposes and his ability to gain information that will accurately represent those from whom he collects data.

Before Professor Plum begins his research, post and explain some of the potential ethical issues he will need to consider (i.e., impact on human subject protection) and why this is an important consideration.  Further explain two ethical issues and suggest what courses of action might be appropriate.

Note: Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources and identify current relevant literature to support your work.

develop an action plan for how you will use psychological ideas and principles in addressing the problem.

Overview: As the final project for PSY 108, you will choose a problem or issue from a provided list to which you can apply the concepts or theories learned in this class. You will then develop an action plan for how you will use psychological ideas and principles in addressing the problem. This assessment will help you recognize the value of psychology, the value of supporting your claims with established views and research, and how psychology can be applied to personal situations.

 

Prompt: For this milestone, you will identify two relevant psychological theories that will support your future action plan and describe how each of these can be applied to address the problem you described in Milestone One. You will also discuss how the perspectives of psychologists in different subject areas can inform how you approach your problem in preparation for your action plan. Additionally, you’ll describe the ethical implications that need to be considered in the creation of your action plan.

 

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

 

II. Plan Support: In this part of the assessment, you will identify theories and perspectives in psychology that will support your future action plan. A. Identify relevant fundamental theories in psychology discussed in the course which could be applied to address the problem.  B. Describe how you would apply these fundamental theories in psychology to address the problem.  C. Explain how you can use the perspectives of psychologists in different subject areas within the field to approach your problem.  D. Describe the ethical implications that will need to be considered in the creation of your action plan.

 

Guidelines for Submission: You will upload the polished version of the Word document you downloaded from Soomo to the Your SNHU course submission link for instructor grading and feedback. Please see the feedback provided by your instructor in Your SNHU course. Your submission for Milestone Three should be 3 to 4 paragraphs in length, with 12-point Times New Roman font and double spacing.

Briefly state how the sample was obtained–a single sentence should suffice

Access the online library and search for one of the following research articles:

Thoroughly read the article you selected and identify and critique the following:

  • research design
  • sampling technique
  • threats to validity
  • measurements
  • ethical issues

For this discussion, please organize your posting thus:

1: Article title: [Give the article title]

2: Design: [Briefly state the design–a single sentence should suffice]

3: Sampling technique: [Briefly state how the sample was obtained–a single sentence should suffice]

4: Threats to validity: [Give some detailed analysis here–address both internal & external validity issues]

5: Measurements: [State how the important variables were operationalized; do any issues here contribute to validity problems? If so, how could these be resolved?]

6: Ethical issues: [You might take a look back at the previous discussion regarding the IRB.  Also, give any thoughts you have about how the study might be done differently if researchers sought to perform a conceptual replication…]
