Discussion: Alignment And Social Change

 

In this last week, you bring your skills in critically evaluating research to a final discussion of what it means for the components of a research study to be logically connected. As you recall from previous weeks, this connection refers to alignment.

You also consider the social change implications of research. Engendering positive social change is at the core of Walden University’s mission. As future researchers and scholar-practitioners in your fields, you have likely had, and will continue to have, opportunities to apply your Walden learning experiences to making a difference in the lives of others.

This week, you will revisit the interrelationship among research components to determine the criteria for evaluating alignment. You will also consider the relationship between research and social change as you reflect on your newly acquired research knowledge and skills.

In the context of research, alignment and social change will be important topics to return to as you prepare for the next courses in the research sequence and continue your development as a scholar-practitioner.

Consider, for example, what criteria are used in your discipline to evaluate alignment of research components. And in what way will your future research contribute to your identity as scholar-practitioner who is dedicated to positive social change?

For this Discussion, you will consider criteria for evaluating alignment among the various components of a research study. You will also reflect on your role as a positive social change agent through research.

With these thoughts in mind:

By Day 4

Post an explanation of the criteria you could use to evaluate alignment between data collection methods and other research components, such as the problem, purpose, research questions, and design. Then, reflecting on the course content, discuss the extent to which your newly acquired research knowledge and skills can support your role as an agent of positive social change. Be specific and provide an example(s).

Be sure to support your Main Issue Post and Response Post with reference to the week’s Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA Style.

· What further diagnostic evaluation do you believe is warranted?

Case Study of Ben, Part 2

Read the Case Study of Ben, Part 2.

Use the Case Study Response Guide to assist you in revisiting your diagnosis of Ben’s condition, incorporating this new information. In Section 4 of the response guide, address each of the following:

· In each of these scenarios, describe how the new information alters the picture presented in the original case study.

· Describe your new diagnostic hypotheses, and justify your conclusions.

· What further diagnostic evaluation do you believe is warranted?

Use the Case Study Response Guide to format your assignment.

Case Study Response Guide

Use this outline to structure your case assignments.
1. Case Summary
  • Provide a brief summary of what you have      learned about the individual reviewed in the case. Include information about the individual      in terms of demographics and general history, and the sources of that      information, and the reason that the individual was referred, and by      whom.
  • Summarize any information you may have      about evaluations that have been conducted, including the results.
2. Clinical Impression (Diagnosis)

Write the clinical impression in the DSM-5 format:

XXX.xx (Yyy.yy) Primary Diagnoses (list in order of salience).

(DSM-5 Code is first, as in XXX.xx, and ICD-10 codes next, in parentheses.)

OTHER FACTORS:

Use the V and Z codes, or simply appropriate descriptors to psychosocial and contextual factors of importance to the diagnostic case. These replace the DSM-IV-TR Axis IV & V used to address these concerns.

3. Recommendations

Explain any recommendations for interventions, treatment, and/or disposition.

4. Questions

Address the specific questions that were asked in the instructions for this assignment.

Here is a sample assignment question and an appropriate brief response:

Question: Describe what further information you would need to accurately diagnose this case.

Response: To diagnose this case accurately, I would also need to review any pertinent medical records. I would want to interview this client’s mother, with whom he lives, to corroborate the clinical interview data supplied by the client, and to learn more about his developmental history. I would also want to…

Advertisement Analysis

Assignment # 3 – Advertisement Analysis

Below, find your Advertisement Category based on the first letter in your last name (My last

name is Winter, so I would be in category 3). Then, find an advertisement that falls into the

description in that category, and analyze the ad from a psychological point of view. If you

can, upload a picture of the ad with your assignment; otherwise, vividly describe the ad as

best you can. Again, copy and paste your responses into the blackboard dropbox folder. You

can keep it in the questionnaire format below (which is actually my preference) or write it out

in paragraph format. Just make sure to give a thorough response!

Categories:

Last Name A – H: Find an ad that appeals to or is based on a creation of needs—think about

this in terms of human hierarchy of needs (biological, safety and security, belonging and love,

self-esteem and status, cognitive, aesthetic, and self-actualization). You might recall these

needs from an intro psych course covering Maslow.

Last Name I – Q: Find an ad that involves social and prestige suggestions—techniques based

on the premise that you should buy or do something because many others do so (social

suggestion) or some well-known person makes a recommendation (prestige suggestion).

Last Name R – Z: Find an ad that involves loaded words and images—these tend to be more

subtle techniques, including the use of attractive people in the advertisement, images of

positive social situations associated with a product, or incorporating “buzzwords” or buzz

phrases such as “natural” for food and beauty products.

(Five Points Possible for Each Question)

1. What product does this ad attempt to market, and where is the ad from? Describe or attach

2. To which component(s) of attitudes (e.g., affective, behavioral, cognitive) does this ad

appeal? How can you tell? Was this a good strategy for this product/audience?

3. What route of persuasion do the advertisers seem to use (e.g., central/systematic route vs.

peripheral/heuristic pg. 228)? Was that a good choice? Specifically, what central or

peripheral cues are used?

4. Does the ad attempt to describe the source of its product information (e.g., “dentists agree

that _____” or “experts suggest ____?” Do these sources come off as credible and/or

attractive? If there was no expert, do you think one would have helped? Why or why not?

5. What about the communication itself? Are the arguments weak/strong, one-sided/two-

sided, overt/implied, discrepant with the audience/in-line with the audience, or not present

at all? Were these good choices?

6. What about the target of the communication? Who are the advertisers targeting, how can

you tell, and was that a good decision? How might this ad be different if directed towards

an audience from a more interdependent culture?

7. Describe how AT LEAST ONE concept that we have discussed (e.g. dissonance, emotions,

attitudes, self-monitoring, etc. – your choice) is relevant to the ad’s persuasiveness.
