Discussion1 Ethical Problem Solving in Research

Discussion1 Ethical Problem Solving in Research

For this Discussion, review the media titled Research Ethics. Keeping in mind that titles and research practices in South Africa may differ from those in other locales or academic environments, consider some of the ethical dilemmas faced by the narrator, Kevin Williams. Then read Decoding the Ethics Code,Chapter 11. Select one of the “poor outcome” cases (located in the gray sidebar boxes and indicated by a checked “x” in the small boxes next to each example).

Post by Day 3 a brief summary of the “poor outcome” case you selected. Then explain the ethical principle(s)/codes the researcher violated and how. Also, suggest one strategy the researcher could have implemented and explain how this might have helped resolve the ethical dilemma. Also, comment on whether the dilemma would change if either the participant or the researcher is located outside of the United States. Finally, describe any outcomes the suggested strategy might cause, including additional dilemmas, and explain why.

Be specific and include reference to the Learning Resources in your response.

Social psychology

Social psychology

Culture is a term that can be used to describe and distinguish the unique characteritics of an ethnic group, a nation, a corporation, or other distinct groups of people. Athletic teams, religious groups, professions, and the military are examples of groups that have unique cultural characteristics. Cole in Cultural Psychology defines culture as existing when people engage in an activity over a period of time. Cultures have characteristics of what behaviors are acceptable and what behaviors are not acceptable. Cultures differ on a variety of dimensions including emphasis on individuality vs being part of the group, type of hierarchy, distribution of power, long-term or short-term orientation, parenting styles, decision-making patterns, and values just to name a few. In the text we looked at group think and the pressure to embrace certain ways of thinking that can lead to disaster such as with NASA and taking unwarranted risks with the space shuttle or the 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba disaster.

Your Task

Your task for this assignment is to:

  • Research and identify a specific culture that you may have experienced, observed, or researched.
  • Identify the unique characteristics of the culture that distinguish and characterize it from other cultures.
  • Discuss the following ideas:

Example

The culture at Enron is a great example for demonstrating the kind of analysis I want you to conduct. Enron valued innovation, thinking outside the box, developing new business opportunities, and taking risks. To be valued by the company a worker had to be involved in projects that resulted in sales and brought increased income to the corporation. Individuals that managed and worked in areas that supported the business such as the accounting department where they kept track of the company financial health and the insurance department that protected business assets and tried to minimize corporate exposure to business risk were seen as not providing much value. The workers in these areas weren’t compensated on the same level as the innovators and didn’t have the same level of prestige in the company. Success was measured in terms of new products and the income it brought to the company. Staff members who questioned the ethics of a proposal were seen as stifling progress and being too rigid in their thinking. Risk taking was a valued cultural more that even influenced worker leisure activities.

    1. disscusion topic

  • Initial Post: Social interest is a cornerstone concept in Adlerian theory. How could you encourage your clients to develop social interest? Additionally, what are your thoughts about the emphasis that Adlerians place on encouragement as a therapeutic factor? Be sure to connect your response to something you learned in Chapter 5. To clearly illustrate that connection, your response must contain the page number from the textbook in order to earn full credit.

2. + respond -> i need respond to this classmate. Keep it positive and short 🙂

I agree with Adler that social interest is a very important aspect of humanity. According to Corey (2017), social interest involves a sense of being part of a community and being concerned about others in addition to ourselves (Corey, 2017, p. 102). In order to encourage clients to develop social interest, I would first want to learn about what relationships they currently have with others and see if they have a social interest or support system. It may be very easy to encourage someone who has social interest already to develop more of an interest in others than it would be for someone who feels alone and isolated. For a client who does not seem to have a sense of community or social interest, I would start with a small goal and try to get the client to show an interest in one other person, even if that just means holding the door for someone at the grocery store. If the client does something nice for someone else and feels good about him/herself, I would want to work up to bigger goals such as maybe doing some volunteer work or participating in a community event. Corey (2017), says that social interest is an important indicator of mental health according to Adlerians. As social interest starts to become a greater part of a person’s life, feelings of being inferior and isolation will start to fade (Corey, 2017, p. 102). I would frequently check in with the client as we progress from small goals to larger ones to see if their social interest is increasing and how he/she feels about themselves and whether or not a greater sense of community is forming.

Corey (2017) evaluates how encouragement is central to changing a person’s beliefs and instilling confidence and courage in a client (Corey, 2017, p. 105). When I read that, I instantly thought of a counselor being a cheerleader for their clients. Our goal as counselors is to help clients through very difficult experiences in their lives and I feel that encouraging a client is really shining a spotlight on what they are able to accomplish. Encouragement can give others a greater sense of self and feel more empowered to take control of their lives and make positive changes.

Application: Case Study: Confidentiality, Privacy, and Privilege

Application: Case Study: Confidentiality, Privacy, and Privilege

(3- to 5-page paper)

In research, investigators must often collect data about very sensitive and private aspects of participants’ lives. In clinical work, psychology professionals are often privy to highly charged emotions and situations. In fact, due to the highly sensitive nature of their work, psychology professionals or those studying to be psychology professionals are often in morally ambiguous situations, or they may be working with individuals with conflicting demands, needs, or perceptions of what constitutes ethical behavior.

Concepts integral to the protection of information and individual rights include confidentiality, privacy, and privilege. These concepts often are used interchangeably, but they have distinct similarities and differences. It is imperative that psychology professionals fully understand their responsibilities related to each one. Failure to do so puts them at risk of violating trust-based relationships and may have significant ramifications.

For this Application, review the following Case Study:

You are conducting a study of resilience among families that have experienced domestic violence. You will meet with participants four times over a 1-year period, conducting numerous assessments of their psychological well-being and daily functioning in order to study patterns over time.

Maria is a 32-year-old Latina woman. She has volunteered herself and her daughter, Rosalinda (age 6) to participate in your study. Maria explains that she is separated from Rosalinda’s father, who has allegedly committed violent acts in the home. When Maria and Rosalinda came to the first data collection session, Maria read and signed an informed consent form while in the waiting room. The form was fairly standard, citing all the usual terms of and exceptions to confidentiality.

Over the course of the study, during the sessions, you begin to know both mother and daughter well. As you make your way through the daily functioning assessment interviews at the third session, Maria tells you that she has started to date again. Maria seems unusually anxious about finishing the interviews quickly. She watches the clock and interrupts you to confirm that she will be receiving the same $50 stipend that she received at the end of previous sessions. You also notice that Rosalinda’s distress symptoms appear to be getting worse. For example, she is extremely upset when Maria goes to the restroom and cannot be calmed for the rest of the session. However, you are not a clinician, so your impressions are based on your own personal experiences with children.

Shortly after Maria and Rosalinda leave, a man approaches your office and introduces himself as Maria’s husband. He appears to have followed them and wants to know what she and Rosalinda were doing in your office. He does not seem threatening in any way and seems quite civil and pleasant.

The Case Study allows you to apply ethics to real-life situations and demonstrate your understanding of the decision making needed to resolve such conflicts. It is rare for an ethical dilemma to involve only one issue, so you should take the time to reflect on the complications that present themselves in the situations described in the Case Study.

For this week’s Application, review the overview of the five ethical decision-making models that can be found in the Learning Resources section.

  • Koocher and Keith-Spiegel’s nine-step ethical decision-making model
  • Canadian Code of Ethics for Psychologists: The 10-step ethical decision-making process
  • Rest’s four-step ethical decision-making model
  • Jones’s four-step intensity-contingent ethical decision-making model
  • Fisher’s eight-step ethical decision-making model

For this week’s Application, submit by Day 7 a 3- to 5-page paper (including references) that includes the following:

  • An explanation of the ethical dilemmas you perceive to be involved in the Case Study.
  • A description of what you might do in response to the dilemma. Include the following in your explanation:
    • A step-by-step application of one of the decision-making models provided above.
    • An explanation of the possible outcomes for each individual in the Case Study.
    • An explanation of any benefits and limitations of the model you selected.

Relationship Analysis

Relationship Analysis

 

How does attraction happen and how do relationships form? Attraction and relationships are complex in that they are influenced by numerous factors, including, but not limited to, age and gender of the partners, stage of the relationship, and culture.

For this Assignment, you explore the elements of a relationship and the rules and expectations associated with them. You also examine what influences these elements and rules/expectations.

To prepare:

  • Review Chapter 10 of your course text, Social Psychology, focusing on attachments in childhood and adulthood. Also focus on the factors involved in attraction, romantic love, relationship satisfaction, and romantic breakups.
  • Review at least two of the journal articles in this week’s Learning Resources to explore aspects of attraction and romantic relationships in different cultures. (You do not have to read all of the articles.) Think about how people in a different culture might view and behave in relationships. Notice the similarities and differences between that culture and your own.

The Assignment (4-5 pages):

In a 4 to 5-page paper, analyze a personal relationship you have or have had (or a relationship of someone you know well). This relationship may be a romantic relationship or a friendship. Address the following:

  • Briefly identify the type of relationship you are using as your example and describe each person’s attachment style.
  • Select at least four concepts or theories from your readings that describe in more depth the relationship and/or how this relationship developed, was maintained, or ended. Analyze how these four concepts or theories relate to the relationship you have chosen to assess.
  • Finally, select a culture presented in one of the articles listed and consider how that cultural context could impact your relationship. If one or both of the individuals in your relationship was from this other culture, would your four selected concepts or theories still apply in the same way? If not, what would differ? Would another concept or theory be more applicable, and why? Use information from, and cite, your selected article.

Notes from the instructor

Welcome to Week Five!

Posted on: Sunday, September 23, 2018 9:57:15 PM EDT

We are now arriving at an important – even critical – part of the qualitative process: how to collect data and how to prepare it for analysis.

If you recall from your quantitative research course, you would collect your data using surveys that were either inherently numeric, or could be assigned a numeric designation. For example, a Likert scale would assign various possible answers on a 1 to 7 scale, or you could assign a number to a category, such as female=1 and male = 2. You would then prepare the data by looking at scatterplots and removing outliers, deleting incomplete data, determining means, and other preliminary work in preparation for the statistical analysis. In qualitative research, we also collect and prepare the data in specific ways, but which are very different from the quantitative data collection and preparation process I just described.

In qualitative research, we look for ‘meaning’ and patterns of speech that can indicate themes. We start by carefully listening to, viewing, and/or reading our content in a highly reflective manner. This means that we do not take the information the participant’s provided us at face value, but we think more deeply about it to see what exists ‘between the lines’ of what the participant had to say. We start by looking out for words, phrases, and overall concepts that tell us something about what the participant felt or experienced. We choose a word or phrase that best defines that feeling or experience. We make a note of it and indicate the portion of the content where it was found. For example:

Participant content: “I was terribly afraid of what would happen next. I felt so powerless. I was all so new to me. I had no idea what to do next. I was confused and in shock.”
Researcher coding: afraid, powerless, unique (relates to new), confused, shocked

Note how the code words can often be an exact word from the transcript, but it can also be another word that also relates to the overall concept. Coding is a process of identifying concepts that might tell us what the participant has experienced. Do not just list words that are repeated – seek words that have meaning – that express the lived subjective experience by the participant. Seek out the emotion.

Discussion 1 (due Wednesday) gives us a very basic sense of how to code. Note that in a real research study, this process would be much more complicated and time consuming, requiring a great deal of content organization and management skills. For this assignment, simply view the video and take note about any content that stands out to you that indicates what is being experienced, felt, and/or perceived by the participant.

Be careful – it’s not about what non-participants are experiencing, and it’s not about your analysis of what you are seeing or hearing, at this point. It’s about what the participant is experiencing, relative to the scenario she or he is describing.

Do not use words just because they stand out or are repeated, but because they seem to indicate some kind of meaning, perception, or feeling BY THE PARTICIPANT. Refer to your field notes that you have been keeping over the past few weeks to help you with this. Next, review your notes and the video transcripts and develop a few code words that describe the overall lived experience. Then, connect each code word to a phrase, sentence, or passage in the video in order to justify that code word.

For example:

Code word: Afraid (participant indicated fear)

Transcript support: “I was terribly frightened of what would happen next.”

Here are the required headings for discussion 1:

Video name

Code words (list each code and the phrase or sentence from the video that it describes) (focus on behaviors and feelings of the participant, not things, categories, or lists … and not the people that the participant might be talking about, other than what the participant feels about them. Keep repeating in your mind, “It is all about what the participant is experiencing.”).

Discuss (discuss your coding process and how you arrived at your codes. Be sure to include the transcript source and your field notes source in this description)

Reflection/Questions (discuss any insights or ask questions regarding this process)

PositiveRegard The Middle Stages

PositiveRegard The Middle Stages

Carl Rogers, a humanistic psychologist, believed that individuals must feel accepted for who they are in order to have a high level of self-worth (Farber & Doolin, 2011). Rogers coined the term “positive regard” to explain this concept of feeling accepted. Also, he believed that positive regard is essential to personal growth and self-actualization.

For this Discussion, view the “Johnson” video (Episode 3). Transcript will be uploaded

Post your description of the purpose of this group. Explain the use of empowerment and strengths-based strategies. How does “positive regard” impact the group session in this video? How might you respond to Talia when she voices her skepticism of the usefulness of group sharing?

analysis a poem

In your first paragraph, summarize or put into your own words what the poet/writer is saying. If you are doing a poem, you do not have to paraphrase it line by line. However, make sure you include all major ideas. For example, if you choose Thomas Gray’s “Ode on the Death of a Favorite Cat”, you need to say more than “Some dude’s cat dies”. If you choose Samuel Pepys or Olaudah Equiano, summarize those sections of the men’s work that you have read.

In your second paragraph, explain how you react or respond to your choice. What does it make you think about? What did you like or dislike about it? Be sure to explain why. Also, create a question for us about your choice. You questions can work very well.

Effective Conflict Resolution

Effective Conflict Resolution

In any profession that deals with people, there will be times when your views and perspectives differ from those of the people with whom you are working. A main focus of professional psychology is working with people, whether they are Instructors, administrators, colleagues, or clients. As a result, it is likely you will both experience conflict and be expected to resolve conflict as a professional psychologist. Learning to identify and appropriately resolve conflicts that may arise over differences in perspectives is an especially critical skill. Your personal style of conflict resolution is influenced by past experiences, thoughts and beliefs, and personality. Conflicts may be resolved in different ways depending on the context and the individual attempting to resolve them.

  • Develop an action plan to address the weaknesses you discovered and how you might use your strengths to overcome the weaknesses.
  • Identify a leadership style that is best suited for managing organizational change. Compare and contrast your style with this leadership profile best suited for managing change in organizations.
  • Indicate to your potential client why your leadership style is best suited for this company (identify one or use your first scenario in RA 1), including how you could be successful in assisting with managing change within the company.
