 Article Review

The purpose of an article review is to provide the academic community with a description, summary, and evaluation of the completed work. For the article review, students will assume the role of an expert who is critically evaluating contemporary research in the field of psychology. Students will incorporate material from across the course, analyzing and applying theories and principles of psychology, into a cohesive and well-written article review. This learning activity will facilitate the development of research skills, critical thinking, and writing skills that are necessary to success in the field of psychology. The article for review was chosen in Week Two of the course and must be used in this review. Carefully read the selected article, and then write the Article Review.

·         Begin with a well-written introduction to the article that:

o    Analyzes the article and identifies the professional area of psychology it represents

o    Assesses the roles of psychology professionals within this area and describes whether or not the article clearly and correctly represents these roles.

·         Evaluate the theoretical perspective on which the study is based

·         Detail the hypotheses presented in the study or the relationship of interest

·         Describe the sample(s) presented in the study (how participants were obtained, selected, sample size, etc.)

·         Discuss where the study was conducted: university setting (lab), organization (field), etc.

·         Examine the ethical concerns in the study using the APA Ethical Principles and Code of Conduct as a guide.

·         Summarize the results of the study. Be certain to specify the findings and whether or not the hypotheses were supported.

·         Analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the study (usually found in the discussion section of the article).

·         Evaluate possible contemporary applications of the results within the article

·         Create a conclusion that includes a synopsis of professional insights about the study.

In the creation of the Article Review, it is paramount to include information in the form of peer-reviewed research to support any statements made. A minimum of five peer-reviewed articles, not including the article chosen for this assignment, are required for this paper.

Attention Students: The Masters of Arts in Psychology program is utilizing the Pathbrite portfolio tool as a repository for student scholarly work in the form of signature assignments completed within the program. After receiving feedback for this Article Review, please implement any changes recommended by the instructor, go toPathbrite and upload the revised Article Review to the portfolio. (Use the Pathbrite Quick-Start Guide to create an account if you do not already have one.) The upload of signature assignments will take place after completing each course. Be certain to upload revised signature assignments throughout the program as the portfolio and its contents will be used in other courses and may be used by individual students as a professional resource tool. See the Pathbrite website for information and further instructions on using this portfolio tool.

CHOSE TOPIC THAT HAS TO DO WITH HUMAN SEXUALITY

What conditions within an organization or agency lead to the development of a strong logic model?

/in /by

Logic models play an important role in the development of a program evaluation and performance measure plan.

 

PLEASE Read the articles

 

” http://hpp.sagepub.com/content/7/1/8.full.pdf+html?ijkey=0h3ktNDhb7.uQ&keytype=ref&siteid=sphpp ” and

 

” http://www.sciencedirect.com.libproxy.edmc.edu/science/article/pii/S0149718905000066 ” by Goldman and Schmalz (2006) and Kaplan and Garrett (2005), respectively.

 

The articles further explore how to conduct and apply logic models. You will find the article by Goldman and Schmalz especially useful as it walks you through the creation of a logic model. Kaplan and Garrett’s article will provide valuable insight into the application of a logic model.

 

Tasks:

 

In a minimum of 250 words, respond to the following:

 

  • What value do you find in the development of the logic model as part of the program evaluation process after considering the development and application of the logic model?
  • What conditions within an organization or agency lead to the development of a strong logic model?
  • What conditions within an organization or agency make the development of a sound logic model challenging?
  • What steps can you take to address or overcome those challenges?

Two classmate answers

Tsaliguun Enkhbayar 

1. Aggressive vs Aggressive: according to “MTSTCIL.org” no date

aggressive people are very hard to negotiate due to their behavior such as ignoring others opinion because they have their own state of opinion.

2. Cooperative vs cooperative: according to : “Spangler” 2003 (http://www.beyondintractability.org/essay/competitive-cooperative-frames)

stated ” When individuals or parties enter into a negotiation process to resolve conflict, they will bring a certain orientation to the table in their effort to settle the conflict. The two most basic orientations people adhere to when entering into negotiations are cooperative or competitive. A cooperative approach aligns with the process of interest-based or integrative bargaining, which leads parties to seek win-win solutions. Disputants that work cooperatively to negotiate a solution are more likely to develop a relationship of trust and come up with mutually beneficial options for settlement. The mutual gains approach is considered a constructive resolution process.” seems that this state of negotiation is very stable.

3. Aggressive vs cooperative: according to Professor:

this state of negotiation is very Difficult.

 

thank you

Various people prefer various ways and methods of doing negotiations. Every person or party who goes to a negotiating table does so within their mind having an already preferred way of carrying out the exercise before them and that is what determines the method to be applied. It so often happens that the parties to these negotiations might come with each having different modes of doing the negotiations because there are a number of factors that influences this.

For example in an event there meets two people who both are cooperative negotiators what is likely to happen is that they will have to adopt a way that is collaborative. This is because as it is inherent up on the parties who are naturally cooperative, they tend to be collaborative also in the sense that they make real effort to understand the issues of the opposing party. This is very likely as they cooperate. When it is an aggressive party meeting with another aggressive party, they are likely to lead each other to competing way of negotiations because they will be seeing negotiations as a game that must be won at whatever cost. This again is likely to happen between parties who have not been sharing any prior relations and are not mindful of any future cordial relations. When a cooperative and an aggressive parties to a negotiation meet they are likely to have to compromise. Either party must be willing to abandon some bit of their hard held styles of negotiation and come to a consensus so that they can at least move to some direction and be able to reach an agreement.
