Scenario: Steve recently accepted an opportunity to travel to Venezuela for his American-owned company. This is his first opportunity to travel outside of the United States. Steve is an exemplary employee and takes his job very seriously. His job is to convince a Venezuelan company that they should become partners with his American company.
On his first visit, Steve is upset that no one shows up on time for his important visit. In fact, he almost has to wait an hour for everyone to show up for a scheduled meeting. To top it all off, no one wants to talk business. They all want to talk about families and the weather. Finally, to Steve’s surprise, they ask him to go out to dinner for the evening. No business is discussed and the evening is wasted.
Steve decides they are not interested and does not return the next day for another meeting. The Venezuelan company is greatly offended by Steve’s behavior.
Question
Using terminology from this week, explain to what extent the scenario is an example of ethnocentrism and also think about what other cultural issues are in this scenario. If Steve practiced cultural relativity, holism, or even had a cross-cultural perspective, what are some issues that might explain the Venezuelans’ behavior? Please be sure to cite textbook page number when using terminology.

Effective clinical innovations and the dissemination of research findings are key elements in the growth and development of the psychology profession. There are numerous avenues that enable authors to publish and present their work. Poster presentations at conferences are effective methods for communicating research findings and providing opportunities to meet with other researchers and clinicians to discuss the research being presented. Thus, these types of conference presentations play a key role in the proliferation of research. In this week’s discussion, you will be submitting your proposal for the Week Five Virtual Conference. You may utilize relevant assignments from previous courses in this program or suitable projects from your professional life. See the PSY699 Call for Student Poster (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. Presentations document for specific parameters and instructions on how to create your proposal. Following the guidelines presented in the document, create your proposal and attach it to your initial post in the discussion forum. Evaluate the impact participating in conference presentations may have on potential work settings and/or doctoral programs and comment on the following questions in your initial post. •How are conference presentations professionally relevant? •What elements of the proposal process were most difficult for you, and why? •What positive outcomes do you anticipate will come from this process, which may be applied to potential work settings and/or doctoral programs?

Integrative Literature Review Path builder is being used for this assignment. Please be certain to complete the Survey Acknowledgement Quiz this week in order to submit the Integrative Literature Review. You will not be allowed to submit your Final Paper until you have completed the quiz this week. The primary goal of this literature review is to integrate concepts from four different content domains within the larger field of psychology. The four content domains should be chosen from previous coursework in this program. In this paper, students will review the findings in the individual empirical articles, organize the research in a meaningful way, evaluate the reliability, validity, and generalizability of the research findings, and present an integrated synthesis of the research that sheds new light on the topics within and across the four domains. The result of a successful integrative literature review may be a significant contribution to a particular body of knowledge and, consequently, to research and practice. Therefore, before writing this literature review, substantive new research must be conducted via the Internet and within the Ashford University Library for each of the four chosen domains. A minimum of six sources must be included for each of the four domains. Although content from literature reviews completed in prior courses within this program may be included, it may not constitute the total research for the individual domains addressed within this assignment. No more than four sources from previous literature reviews completed in this program may be utilized for this integrative review. The headings listed below must be used within the paper to delineate the sections of content. These sections include the following: a clear introduction that provides a general review and organizes the research in a meaningful way; a discussion in which the evidence is presented through analysis, critique, and synthesis; and a conclusion in which the discussion is drawn together in a meaningful way, the claims of the introduction are brought to a logical closure, and new research is proposed. Introduction Provide a conceptual framework for the review.Describe how the review will be organized. The questions below may be used to guide this section.What are the guiding theories within the domains?How are the domains connected?Are there competing points of view across the domains?Why is the integration of these domains important? What is the history of these domains?What are the related theories or findings? Describe how the literature was identified, analyzed, and synthesized.How and why was the literature chosen?What is your claim or thesis statement?DiscussionProvide the analysis, critique, and synthesis for the review.AnalysisExamine the main ideas and relationships presented in the literature across the four domains.Integrate concepts from the four different content domains within the larger field of psychology.What claim(s) can be made in the introduction?What evidence supports the claim(s) made in the introduction?Critique Evaluate the reliability, validity, and generalizability of the chosen research findings. How well does the literature represent the issues across the four domains? Identify the strengths and the key contributions of the literature.What, if any, deficiencies exist within the literature? Have the authors omitted any key points and/or arguments? What, if any, inaccuracies have been identified in the literature? What evidence runs contrary to the claims proposed in the introduction, and how might these be reconciled with the claims presented? Explain how the APA Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct might influence the reliability and/or generalizability of the chosen findings. Did the ethical issues influence the outcomes of the research? Were ethical considerations different across the domains? Synthesis Integrate II existing ideas with new ideas to create new knowledge and new perspectives. Describe the research that has previously been done across these domains, as well as any controversies or alternate opinions that currently exist. Relate the evidence presented to the major conclusions being made. Construct clear and concise arguments using evidence-based psychological concepts and theories to posit new relationships and perspectives on the topics within the domains. Conclusion Provide a conclusion and present potential future considerations. State your final conclusion(s). Synthesize the findings described in the discussion into a succinct summary.What questions remain? What are the possible implications of your argument for existing theories and for everyday life?Are there novel theories and/or testable hypothesizes for future research?What do the overarching implications of the studies show?Where should the research go from this point to further the understanding of these domains and the greater study of psychology?Attention Students: The Masters of Arts in Psychology program is utilizing the Pathbrite portfolio tool as a repository for student scholarly work in the form of signature assignments completed within the program.

Quotes to prompt your writing (disregard or use as you see fit):
About the prominent assumptions in logic and theory used by researchers involved in the Tuskegee Experiments and movements like Eugenics:
“At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilised races of man will almost certainly exterminate and replace throughout the world the savage races.”
—Charles Darwin, The Descent of Man (1871 edition, J. Murray, London), Part I, Chapter VI, p. 201
“The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it.”
—Margaret Sanger, Woman and the New Race (1920), Chapter V, “The Wickedness of Creating Large Families,” available at http://www.bartleby.com/1013/5.html.
“Natural selection’s death rate of the jungle helped to purify the primitive race by destroying the weak and permitting only the strong to live and reproduce. Eugenicists hope to arrive at the same result by the selective birth rate.”
— Lena K. Sadler, “Is the Abnormal to Become Normal?” in A Decade of Progress in Eugenics, Scientific Papers of the Third International Congress of Eugenics (Baltimore: Williams and Wilkins Co., 1934), p. 198.
“The life of a newborn baby is of less value than the life of a pig, a dog, or a chimpanzee.”
—Peter Singer, Practical Ethics (New York: Cambridge University Press, 1979), pp. 122-123
About the connection between the assumptions behind certain components of Darwinian Theory and methods of Eugenics seen in the Nazi Regime.
– “Anytime one wants to come to… the ideology of the Nazis and say ‘Where does it come from? What gave these people these ideas?’ that’s already crossing into a forbidden zone. Nobody really wants to talk about it unless it can be discussed in terms that are completely inoffensive, innocuous, and uninteresting. [However], if one wants to say, ‘look the Nazis may have been fairly primitive in their thinking’, I think that’s true, these were not profound sophisticated intellects. [One might ask], ‘just where did they take their ideas from?’ and one place that’s obvious for anyone who reads the German sources and knows that whole milieu in Germany is that they were profoundly influenced by events taking place fifty, sixty, seventy years ago in England and then with the publication of Charles Darwin’s The Origin of the Species. This does not mean, of course, it does not mean that Darwin was a member of the SS or that Hitler had Origin of the Species at his bedside table. It could well be that Hitler’s ignorance of the details of evolutionary biology was profound. [When] we talk about the association between the Darwinian idea of evolution and the development of Nazi and Communist ideologies, we don’t have a direct connection in mind. We have necessary, but not necessarily sufficient conditions.” Dr. David Berlinski, What Hath Darwin Wrought?
