Case Study Design and Analysis week 2

/in /by

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 using third person in which an individual is challenged with a situation causing cognitive dissonance.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 individual involved in the case study.Submission Details:Support your responses with examples.Cite any sources in APA format.

Faculty Annotated Bibliography

/in /by

You will build an annotated bibliography based on a Psychology faculty member’s research here at the U. There are many components for this assignment, so be sure to pay close attention to the instructions, spelling, and format. You will read a series of peer-reviewed research journal articles (not chapters or literature reviews) from a single faculty member (if not sure the article fits, contact us). The bibliography will be based on two articles.To find the articles, you can look on the faculty member’s website, on their CV, or via searching on the Marriott Library’s research database, usually PsychInfo (seeMarriott Library Searchfor tips on using their resources). Do not use Google Scholar as you may not be able to get PDFs or access to those items. The person selected does not have to be the first-author on the article, but confirm you are using the correct person (e.g., there are a number of us named Paul White). You will download/access the articles to read. You will write and summarize items in your own words, not copying & pasting from the articles. You do not have to attach the articles.1. List the first article as an APA reference (e.g., White, P. H., Kjelgaard, M. M., & Harkins, S. G. (1995). Testing the contribution of self-evaluation to goal-setting. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 69, 69-79.). Remember to use the Purdue Online Writing Lab (https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_style_introduction.html) as a guide. This is what will be used for grading. Note: Do not use the citation machine on OWL itself if there is one listed. Read the material and follow the instructions for your citations and references.  Everything for proper APA references will be required, except for indentations. I would not assume that if you copy & paste something from a faculty member’s website, the library, etc., that it will be in APA style automatically.2. Summarize what you see as the main thesis or research question being explored in the article (what are the authors trying to show or test overall?).NOTE: If the article has more than one experiment/study, do the next 3 components for the first experiment/study only.3. Summarize the methods used in the article: Major characteristics of the participants (i.e., how many, ages/ethnicity (indicate if not listed), how recruited), the independent & dependent variables (how were they operationalized), & other things of note from the methods.4. Summarize the results of the article. What did they find, include whether their hypotheses were supported by the results.5. Summarize the conclusions of the article. What implications do they have for the research question? Were they able to answer it, how or how not? Do you agree or not with the authors’ conclusions or “take-home” point?6. List the second article as an APA reference.7. Summarize what you see as the main thesis or research question being explored in the article (what are the authors trying to show or test overall?).NOTE: If the article has more than one experiment/study, do the next 3 components for the first experiment/study only.8. Summarize the methods used in the article: Major characteristics of the participants (i.e., how many, ages/ethnicity (indicate if not listed), how recruited), the independent & dependent variables (how were they operationalized), & other things of note from the methods.9. Summarize the results of the article. What did they find, include whether their hypotheses were supported by the results.10. Summarize the conclusions of the article. What implications do they have for the research question? Were they able to answer it, how or how not? Do you agree or not with the authors’ conclusions or “take-home” point?NOTE: Do not forget to number the components (.5 off if not done). If turned in late, there will be a 20% penalty of the points per day (including weekends) for the assignment.RUBRIC:Listed the first article in APA reference format.Summarized the main thesis or research question explored in the article (what are the authors trying to show or test overall?).Summarized the methods used in the article (first experiment only): Major characteristics of the participants (i.e., how many, ages/ethnicity (indicate if not listed), how recruited), the independent & dependent variables (how were they operationalized), & other things of note from the methods.Summarized the results of the first experiment only.

2 PAGE Paper APA: PSYC 3004: Psychological Disorders- Advantages and Disadvantages of Diagnosis and Labeling

/in /by

Clinicians make use of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th ed.; DSM-5) classification system to make diagnoses that will guide the choice of a treatment approach. As you read in Fundamentals of Abnormal Psychology, however, the practice of diagnosing clients and the use of diagnostic categories and labels are sometimes subject to criticism. Some argue that diagnostic labels can cause harm. Others disagree, stating that diagnosis is an essential step in the clinical process as the clinician proceeds from assessment to diagnosis to treatment. In this week’s Assignment, you will evaluate both advantages and disadvantages of the practice of diagnosing and labeling psychological disorders. You will decide whether or not you are convinced that current diagnostic practices are acceptable.The Assignment (2 pages):Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of diagnosing and classifying psychological disorders. Include in your evaluation responses to the following prompts:Evaluate the advantages of diagnosis and classification in mental health settings. Be specific and provide examples where appropriate.Evaluate the disadvantages of diagnosis and classification in mental health settings. Be specific and provide examples where appropriate.From a multicultural perspective, explain what issues might arise with respect to the assessment and diagnosis of individuals from different cultural backgroundsFinally, based on your evaluations in the prior prompts, explain your position regarding the relative advantages and disadvantages of current diagnostic and classification practices, including an assessment of whether you believe the advantages outweigh the disadvantages or vice versa. Be sure to support your position.References must come from–R. J., & Comer, J. S. (2019). Fundamentals of abnormal psychology (9th ed.).
