PSY 560 Freud Research Table Guidelines and Rubric

Overview: The purpose of the Research Table document is to help you organize the research that you conduct for your final project. The first portion of the document is an annotated bibliography. Here, you will keep notes on the various research materials that you read while researching your final project. The second portion of this document is a chart that you can use to take notes on key theories related to the theories you encounter during the course. Your first entry in your table will be related to Freud’s theory. This practice will allow you to receive meaningful feedback on your use of this tool to help you support your final project. Prompt: For this assignment, complete one row of the annotated bibliography section of the table. Use research you have identified related to Freud’s theory. Next, complete the second portion of the chart with notes on the key theories related to Freud’s theory. The second portion of the chart has you note how the research is related to your selected theory for the final project. How relevant is the research? How does the research compare and contrast with the final project theory? You will use this information as you complete the milestone assignments and the final project. Incorporate the feedback you receive from this assignment as you continue to add research to the table. Part One: Annotated Bibliography

i. Citation: Use APA formatting for your citations. ii. Summary and applicability to the final project

a. Not all sources you encounter in your research will be applicable to the final paper, so it is a good idea to note the relation the theory does or does not have. You may come back to a source at a later time as you gain more insight about the different theories, so note all the different research you encounter for easy retrieval.

iii. Additional Notes Part Two: Theory Chart

i. Key Concepts a. Identify the key concepts of the research.

ii. Historical Context and Historical Figures a. Summarize the historical context of the research, including historical figures related to the research.

iii. Validity and Accuracy a. Part 1 of the textbook explains these terms to help you further evaluate the theory based on validity and accuracy. Use this information to

evaluate the validity and accuracy of the research. iv. Applicability of Theory Today

a. Identify the contemporary application of each theory. v. Theory’s Relationship to the Final Project

a. Does the new theory support or contrast with the theory evaluated in the final project? b. What key concepts are important for the comparison to the final project? c. Is there a strong or weak relation to the theory evaluated in the final project?

Development of 5 interview questions to ask psychologist

/in /by

Imagine that you are scheduled to interview a practicing psychologist about what his/her job is like. This is known as an “information interview.”  If you could only ask 5 ethics related questions what would they be?  Give this careful thought.

You only have 5 questions–what key aspects of the profession, with ethics particularly in mind, will you focus on?

Write your 5 questions and below each construct a hypothetical response.  How would your interviewee answer each?

Note:  You do not have to be an expert on professional ethics to complete this assignment. Base the responses on what you have learned about professional ethics in the course.

Criteria

Development of 5 interview questions to ask psychologist

Hypothetical responses to the 5 interview questions demonstrate knowledge of ethical guidelines (250-300 words per response)

Compliance with APA paper source crediting and formatting standards.

Minimum of three scholarly resources are used

Minimal to no grammar, spelling or basic writing errors

Assignment is 5-6 pages, not including title page or references page

Draft Of Sociocultural Evaluation And Draft Of Program Evaluation

/in /by

PSY 632 Milestone Three Guidelines and Rubric (Draft of Sociocultural Evaluation and Draft of Program Evaluation)

For Milestone Three, you will submit a draft of your sociocultural evaluation (Section IV of your final project) and a draft of your program evaluation (Section V of your final project), including all critical elements as listed below. The draft of your sociocultural evaluation (Section IV) requires you to examine the selected program’s ability to be utilized across a diverse population. This should include an examination of the original population utilized to develop the program. This submission should include any additional research you’ve conducted to demonstrate or support the program’s effectiveness with diverse populations, and a general analysis of any strengths and weaknesses across the program’s foundational theory as it pertains to sociocultural effectiveness. In the draft of your program evaluation (Section V), you will evaluate the program you selected in Milestone Two in four critical areas: core developmental psychology themes; use of contemporary theories of development; impact of sociocultural influences on the communities and organizations using the program; and the program’s ability to address typical or atypical development in children and adolescents across the physical, cognitive, and affective and social domains. In this section, you will also consider program effectiveness in regard to prevention, assessment, and intervention strategies based on the type of program, as well as contributions the program makes to future research and treatment. Please keep in mind that Milestone Three will function as a rough draft for these sections of your final project. The goal is to collect information, present your findings, and receive feedback on how to improve each section for your final submission. Specifically the following critical elements must be addressed in your milestone submission:

IV. Sociocultural Evaluation: Critique current assessment and intervention strategies utilized by the selected program for their applicability across

diverse populations for improving clinical sensitivity to the individual client context. A. Identify the population that was originally utilized for program development in terms of cultural, ethnic, gender, and socioeconomic indicators.

i. Was the program developed to address a specific population or group with respect to cultural, ethnic, gender, and/or socioeconomic indicators?

ii. In what geographic regions has the program been deployed and studied for data collection? iii. What impact might the process of regional and sociocultural population have on the program?

B. Analyze the effectiveness of assessment and intervention strategies across different cultural or ethnic groups. i. What methods were utilized to examine the effectiveness of assessment or intervention strategies across different cultural or ethnic

groups? ii. What strengths of the selected program are apparent regarding the effectiveness to provide assessment and intervention strategies

across sociocultural groups? iii. What limitations or concerns of the selected program are apparent regarding the effective provision of assessment and intervention

strategies across sociocultural groups?

 

 

 

V. Program Evaluation A. Analyze the selected program with regard to the core developmental psychology themes (nature vs. nurture, continuity vs. discontinuity, and

stability vs. change). i. Which of the core developmental themes in psychology are reflected in the selected program? Explain.

ii. Given the identified core developmental themes reflected in the program, where on the continuum of each would the current program lie and why?

B. Evaluate the selected program for the use of contemporary theories of development for key factors that impact child and adolescent development with regard to prevention, assessment, and intervention strategies. Be sure to provide justification for your reasoning.

i. How effectively does the program’s use of prevention, assessment, and/or intervention strategies align with the original theoretical model that you feel was utilized to establish the program?

ii. Discuss the evidence that prevention, assessment, and/or intervention strategies utilized in the selected program may originate from additional or different developmental theories or models.

iii. What alternatives to prevention, assessment, and/or intervention strategies for the selected program would improve alignment with the original developmental theory?

C. Assess the impact of sociocultural influences on the communities and organizations in which developmental psychology is practiced. i. What are the impacts of the selected program on the communities and organizations in which it is currently operating?

ii. How does this program contribute to knowledge in the field of developmental psychology? iii. What are the sociocultural implications of the program with regard to the communities and organizations in which developmental

psychology is practiced? D. Assess the ability of the selected program to address typical and atypical development in children and adolescents across physical, cognitive,

affective and social domains for informing prevention, assessment, and intervention strategies. i. If the selected program targeted health promotion (typical development), what determines if it is effective at meeting this goal? What

statistics or measures exist to support it? If not, recommend an approach for assessing the program’s ability. ii. If the selected program targeted a developmental issue or diagnosis (atypical development), what determines if it is effective at

meeting this goal? Do statistics or measures exist to support it? If not, recommend an approach for assessing the program’s ability.
