Explain whether you were correct in your judgment of the argument.

/in /by

Think of a time recently where you were presented with an argument that was intended to change your opinion on something. Using that event, complete the following:

  1. Present the argument in premise-conclusion form.
  2. Identify whether or not it was inductive or deductive and evaluate it for quality. Be sure to speak in terms of valid/sound for deductive arguments and strong/weak for inductive arguments. Note that last week you were merely asked to present whether or not you found the argument convincing. This week you are being asked to use your new knowledge to evaluate the arguments based on validity, soundness, and strength.
  3. Explain whether or not you were convinced by the argument.
  4. Explain whether you were correct in your judgment of the argument.

Use the “Steps for Evaluating an Argument” template to help you structure your response. After you have completed the argument template, you will then be able to use that template to write out a response in which you cover all the elements that were included in the argument template.

You must post to this discussion and your posts must total at least 600 words as you address the questions noted above..

Conflict Roles In The Forensic Setting 200 Word Discussion

/in /by

Assignment 1: Conflicting Roles in the Forensic Setting

Correctional psychology is a specialty area within the field of forensic psychology. Work in this setting can present specific challenges for evaluators and treatment providers. For example, a psychology professional working in a corrections facility might serve in dual roles with clients since he or she will likely provide them treatment and evaluate them for early release, risk for dangerousness, and to make recommendations for postrelease conditions. This assignment will introduce you to the specific challenges faced while writing a risk assessment report on a client you have treated during his or her incarceration and presenting the data to the parole board for the purpose of early release. The client has served two years of his four-year sentence for aggravated assault; during this period, he or she has made significant progress, while under your care, with impulse control, anger management, and the ability to challenge his or her criminal thought patterns. You have conducted your risk assessment and are now ready to write your report. Before you write your report, you will have to think about these important factors. Discuss them in your initial post.

Tasks:

Using your textbook and Argosy University online library resources, respond to the following in a minimum of 200 words:

  • The APA stance on dual relationships for psychology professionals in a correctional setting
  • The inherent conflict a psychology professional in a corrections setting might experience by being in the dual role of a treatment provider and an evaluator
  • The individual client factors that might influence prerelease decisions made by psychology professionals in a corrections setting

Your response should rely upon at least 2 sources from additional professional literature; the sources must be cited in APA format.Professional literature may include relevant textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles, and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (.edu, .org, or .gov).
