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?

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.

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.

Explain some of the significant ethical considerations an operational psychologist will have to handle.

Ethical Issues

 

In the traditional field of psychology, clinicians are provided with methods and tools to handle ethical dilemmas at every turn. The American Psychological Association (APA) has set agreed-upon ethical standards to which all members are obligated to adhere. In the field of clinical psychology, tools such as clinical supervision and peer consultation are clearly outlined for mental health professionals.

However, in the field of operational psychology, the methods and tools are not so clear. Psychologists use APA ethical standards as strict guidelines for the practice of operational psychology, but scenarios in national security often present ethical dilemmas not found in mainstream psychology. This assignment allows you to contemplate what unique ethical considerations must be handled by operational psychologists, how they are prepared for them, and how they use APA ethical standards as a guide to address these challenges.

 

The ethical considerations of an operational psychologist extend beyond the realm of clinical psychology. The APA Presidential Task Force on Psychological Ethics and National Security (PENS) report details the ethical guidelines for psychologists with regard to operational psychology.

 

Tasks:

 

Using the module’s readings and the Argosy University online library resources, research the PENS report, Division 19 (the Military Psychology section) of the APA, and the ethical considerations and dilemmas of an operational psychologist. In a minimum of 300 words, respond to the following on the basis of your research:

 

  • Summarize the key points from the PENS report and the primary objectives of Division 19.
  • Discuss other ethical considerations such as the necessity to be competent in other aspects of psychology, including multicultural assessment, command consultation, and legal considerations, when no clear regulations exist.
  • Explain some of the significant ethical considerations an operational psychologist will have to handle.
  • Analyze how an operational psychologist would prepare ahead of time to handle challenges that are often in difficult areas and uncertain circumstances.
  • Describe where operational psychologists would seek guidance or advice on such issues.
