PSY 108 Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric Credible Evidence Evaluation

Overview: As the final project for PSY 108, you will choose a problem from a provided list to which you can apply the concepts or theories learned in this class. You will then develop an action plan for how you will use psychological ideas and principles in addressing the problem. This assessment will help you recognize the value of psychology, the value of supporting your claims with established views and research, and how psychology can be applied to personal situations. Prompt: For this milestone, you will select two of the provided sources related to the problem you described in Milestone One and summarize and evaluate each. The summary will identify fundamental underlying concepts of psychology present in the source. Additionally, you will evaluate the source according to the ethical guidelines of psychology. For each source, you will write two to three paragraphs and follow APA style with a reference page. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

I. Getting Started: In this part of the assessment, you will explore the research you have encountered in this course and that you have selected to determine the credibility of the research and how the research aligns with the ethical guidelines of psychology. Your exploration of the research in this section of the assessment will help inform the decisions you make about your action plan and help you consider the value of credibility and following ethical guidelines in research.

A. Select research from the provided resources that will support your plan and explain how the research is credible. B. Explain how you discerned the credibility of the research provided. C. Discuss how using credible evidence will support your action plan. D. Explain how the research aligns with fundamental theories discussed in the course. E. Describe how the research aligns with the ethical guidelines of psychology.

 

 

 

 

Rubric Guidelines for Submission: You will upload the polished version of the Word document you downloaded from Soomo to the appropriate Blackboard submission link for instructor grading and feedback. Please see the feedback provided by your instructor in Blackboard. Your submission for Milestone Two should be 4 to 6 paragraphs in length (2 to 3 paragraphs for each source), with 12-point Times New Roman font and double spacing. The research you have chosen should be appropriately cited using APA style and include a reference page. Instructor Feedback: This activity uses an integrated rubric in Blackboard. Students can view instructor feedback in the Grade Center. For more information, review these instructions.

SPSS Dispute

/in /by

Qualitative research often generates large amounts of data that must be ethically gathered and analyzed. The use of statistical software such as the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) can significantly simplify and enhance the analysis of qualitative research data. In this assignment, you will consider the ethical issues of qualitative research and use SPSS to analyze some sample data.

General Requirements:

Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:

  • Review “SPSS Access Instructions” for information on how to access SPSS for this assignment.
  • Download the document “SPSS Assignment Background and Directions” from the topic materials.
  • View the video “SPSS – Coding and Labeling Variables” available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4ULCYIXcoQ.
  • View the video “Frequencies and Descriptive Statistics” available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrfQfEwjZA4.
  • Instructors will be using a grading rubric to grade the assignments. It is recommended that learners review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment in order to become familiar with the assignment criteria and expectations for successful completion of the assignment.
  • Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments. The APA Style Guide is located in the Student Success Center.
  • This assignment requires that at least two additional scholarly research sources related to this topic, and at least one in-text citation from each source be included.

Hand Shake For Journal Entry

I need this Journal Entry in 4 parts

Journal Entries/Class Papers: Your McDonaldized Life

To what extent is your life McDonaldized? Students will critically analyze their everyday life using the four principles of McDonaldization (efficiency, calculability, predictability, and control) to answer this question in a series of four (4) journal entries written throughout the semester. For the first three entries, they will focus on specific aspects of McDonaldization and develop specific examples to show how these concepts apply to their lives, or not. In the final journal entry, they will reflect upon the first three entries to decide, overall, how much or how little their life is McDonaldized, and state how this impacts their relationships, their sense of identity, and their choices in life. Students will use the course core value of community to interpret their findings.

Each journal entry should be double-spaced, in a font size 12, and include a title page and a references page. The body of the paper, excluding the title and references, should be 2 to 3 pages in length. In each journal entry, students will use and cite their textbook, reader, and one additional valid source (newspaper, magazine or journal articles, books). All citations and the reference list will be formatted using MLA, APA, or ASA style. Each journal entry will contribute 10% of the final grade. ( I need this journal in 4 parts to be submitted at different times and please read what is needed for journal entry 4…

Managing stress is as personal as the stressor itself.

/in /by

Often in the face of extreme stress or an external crisis, it is not uncommon to focus on being grateful for your health in an attempt to minimize the situation’s impact. However, as previous weeks of this course indicate, health is far more than just an absence of disease or injury. Rather, health includes a continuum of wellness influenced by many life characteristics.

Managing stress is as personal as the stressor itself. The populations health psychology professionals serve are changing, making the need for a variety of stress management techniques even more crucial to maintaining health. For example, people are living longer and require more chronic disease management. Also, there is an increase in the number of ethnic minority groups, those living with disabilities, and those living in poverty. As a result of merging cultures, health issues ripple across the globe.

Public policy, education, training, research, advocacy, and program development and application are all ways in which health psychology professionals can promote positive social change. As a future health psychology professional you should begin thinking about how you can apply topics within stress and coping to promote positive social change. Based on your interests you may choose to develop an education program on sleep hygiene or become an advocate for CAMs.

For this Discussion, review this week’s Learning Resources. Search the Walden Library for a stress management technique you have not previously researched in this course. Consider possible barriers to the effectiveness of this technique. Then select a topic within the area of stress and coping and consider how you might apply this topic to positive social change.
