    Module 4 – SLP

    Education and Research

    The purpose of this assignment is to benefit from the perspective of a leader in education and research in healthcare how they do their research. Most hospitals and other healthcare organizations offer education for patients and employees, and they conduct research (mostly market research). Major academic medical centers participate in major research studies, usually aimed at developing a better treatment, or curing some illness. Through the readings you will learn about various forms of research. Use those words as “key words” in your library research to see if you can find out more about them.

    For the SLP, interview someone in a leadership position in a healthcare organization to ask about how that organization handles patient and employee education, and whether that organization participates in any research (if so, find out what types and whether it is mostly qualitative or quantitative research). In your paper, compare what this leader tells you to what you learned through your research for the case paper.

    This can be where you currently work or have access to members of the leadership team. You are asked to use the same area of education and research you researched for the Case Assignment. This will allow you to see what you learned from your research in a real-world application.

    Prepare and submit a paper responding to the following items:

    1. Provide an overview of the area of education and research you have chosen.
    2. Determine whether or not your research is qualitative or quantitative and why.

    SLP Assignment Expectations

    Write a 4- to 6-page paper (this does not include title and reference pages). It needs to be well written, based on information from scholarly research, and should demonstrate a thorough analysis of the topic.

  • Principles of organizational behavior applied to CSU

    $35.00

    Psychology 356 Final Short

    ANSWER TWO only of the following:

    1. The CSU is undergoing a major organizational transformation in order to prepare for the 20th…uh, check that…that is, the 21st century. Business consultants have suggested that the system restructure to run more like a “business” and less like a traditional academic institution. So…
    What principles of organizational behavior should be applied to a new and improved CSU? What business practices in corporations are applicable to the mission of the University? Which ones are not particularly applicable? Why? Give specific examples to illustrate your points.

    2. Your seventeen-year-old niece asks you to talk to her high school seminar about the field of I/O Psychology. (I know you probably don’t have a seventeen-year-old niece, but play along).  In ≈400 to 600 words, write out your speech to her class. Give a rationale for each major point you make. Stick to the main points, but remember that 17 year olds (like most people, actually) have a limited attention span for dry facts!

    3. Human factors is one of the fastest growing areas of psychology, and is one of the few areas where a master’s degree is considered the standard for getting a senior level appointment in industry.  You are asked to describe the field and its relationship to more traditional areas of psychology (e.g. social, developmental, cognitive, clinical, physiological, etc.) to psychology majors who do not want to go on to a doctorate and are considering career options. Be sure to cover how it differs from classic I/O Psychology.

    4. Job motivation is a very key topic for this course.  Motivation is a better predictor of success in professions than sheer academic prowess.  What are the key points for sustaining motivation across a working career? How will you apply these principles to your own goals? BE specific!! What is the relationship between job satisfaction and job performance, and how does motivation figure in this equation? How can industry and education better foster motivation in their employees and clients?

    5. Create life.  Evaluate the behavior of your new species. Project its likely evolutionary pattern over the next 600 years.  Prove your hypothesis to the .000001 level of confidence. Post your results and receive at least 2 million hits before the Ides of March 2016. 

    In answering these questions, please cite some specific techniques or examples from the book or lectures- don’t just give your opinion; Do include your personal view but then also give some evidence for that opinion. Write your answers; then READ your answers; then re-write your answers! There is no such thing as good writing, only good “re-writing”.

    The advantage of a take home is that you have time to think about what you want to say and how you want to say it.  Take advantage of the format! This short essay is an opportunity for those of you who feel you don’t “test well” to show that you know more than your objective scores would indicate.

    Papers must be submitted on Moodle, double-spaced, minimum of 12-point font.  Length is not a substitute for quality. Clear, simple language is good. Make sure that your answer has been proof read and that YOU read it as well as author it (big difference psychologically!). Again, your personal opinions are great as long as you make a logical case for them, preferably with some form of credible evidence from lectures or the book. There are many “right” answers to these questions. If you answer more than two questions, the third will not be read. Think. Reflect. Outline. Write. Proof read and then “read it as a reader”. Edit. Save. Upload. Have an awesome summer. Good luck!

  • PHIL 1165: Moral and Social Problems in Healthcare

    $35.00

    Animal experimentation: should animals be used in medical testing?

    Final Paper Assignment
    PHIL 1165: Moral and Social Problems in Healthcare
    Length: 1600-2000 words
    The final paper assignment requires you to engage in substantive philosophical research and defend a philosophical thesis. You may choose any topic in the area of Bioethics. If you choose a topic that was already covered in class, you must engage critically with at least one academic, philosophical reading that was not covered in class.
    Requirements
    The main requirement of this assignment is that you defend your own view about some philosophical issue while at the same time charitably but critically engaging with arguments defending some alternative.
    Every paper should have the following components:
    1. Introduction
    The introduction of your paper should be succinct but accomplish the following:
    a. Provide context for the thesis under discussion. Why is the thesis you are defending important or relevant? Why should a reader care to hear about the defense of a thesis on your topic?
    b. Introduce the reader to your thesis. Upon reading the introduction, the reader should know what precisely will be defended in the paper.
    c. Introduce the reader to the structure of the paper. Upon reading the introduction, the reader should have an idea of how the paper will be structured. In doing so, you will also be introducing the reader to what ideas/theses you’ll be arguing against in the paper since you can’t spell out the structure without mentioning that you’ll be engaging critically with alternative views.
    2. Conclusion
    The conclusion of your paper should succinctly sum up what you have accomplished in your paper.
    3. Exegesis of dissenting view(s)
    These papers require you to critically engage with arguments for theses that are inconsistent with your own. Before explaining what is wrong with any view, you must precisely, concisely, and charitably explain those arguments.
    4. Critical evaluation of dissenting view(s)
    Once you have fairly explained the alternatives to your own view, you must critically evaluate them using the tools of philosophy (analysis, arguments, reasons, evidence)
    5. Works cited
    Choose a professional format that you like. If you have no preference, I would choose something like (Author Date) with full entries in the bibliography. I recommend that you use a tool like Zotero or Endnote for building bibliographies and for citing sources.
    6. Thesis defense
    You must provide a substantive, cogent defense of your own view using the tools of philosophy (analysis, arguments, reasons, evidence).
    7. Title
    Your paper should have a descriptive and professional sounding title.
    8. Section headings
    Your paper should be divided into distinct sections with useful section titles.

    1. (10 Points) Answer A or B. *(Choose one to answer, A or B)

    1. A. What is Rousseau’s argument that the right of strongest cannot provide a basis for the  government’s right to direct citizens?
    1. B. What is Rousseau’s argument that slavery cannot be grounded in right (that the slave owner can’t be understood as having a right to the slave’s labor)?

    2. (20 points) Answer A or B *(Choose one to answer, A or B) one page

    1. A. Rousseau says that the problem faced by a people that must transform its mode of existence is to “find a form of association that defends and protects with the common forces the person and goods of each associate, and by means of which, while uniting with all, he obeys only himself and remains as free as before.”
      1. What is his solution? 
      2. How can one unite with all but still remain as free as before?
    2. B. Rousseau says, “In order for the social compact to avoid being an empty formula, it tacitly entails the commitment—which alone can give force to the others—that whoever refuses to obey the general will will be forced to do so by the entire body. This means merely that he will be forced to be free.”
      1. What is Rousseau getting at here?
      2. What threat is he responding to (the threat that will turn the compact into an empty formula)?
      3. How can being forced to obey the general will be understood as being force to be free?

    3. (20 points) one page

    Locke and Rousseau both believe that the government can legitimately be dissolved if it is not accomplishing the tasks that the people intend it to accomplish.  Explain the difference between the ways the two writers provide for this possibility.

  • Psychological Disorder Rachel Case Study

    $15.00

    Rachel is a very attractive woman in her mid thirties, who has come for counseling because although she is never without a boyfriend and frequently has more than one pursuing her, she finds that she cannot sustain a meaningful and lasting relationship with any of them. The men she gets involved with only seem to stick around for a moment
    and then leave. Rachel despises herself for sometimes being gullible in her desperate search to be loved. This self-hatred got so strong a couple of years ago that she took an overdose, but she was found in time by a neighbor and taken to hospital. The psychiatrist who saw her suggested that her inability to sustain love in others might be
    connected to the fact that as a child, she was severely deprived of love since her mother, a single parent, resented having to give up a promising career as an actress to look after her. Rachel does not accept this interpretation. She exclaims “I don’t believe in psychiatrists, I’m not mad. I don’t believe in all the rubbish about my mother, I don’t need her. I just want someone to help me find out what I’m doing wrong, so that I can find someone nice and settle down.”

  • Psychological Test Psychometric Characteristics

    $25.00

    Psyc 3110

    You will write a 5 to 7 page (plus title page and references) APA-style, evaluating the psychometric characteristics of a psychological test. To do this, you first find a public domain test – that is, as with your first workshop assignment, you will find a test that is included in a journal article. Typically, when a test is introduced in a journal article, the authors provide some information about how they came up with items, as well as evidence regarding the reliability, validity, and maybe even factor structure. Importantly, you are going to choose a test which has also been used in at least two other journal articles. Thus, not only will you report on what the original set of authors said about the test, but you will have access to some kind of subsequent information. That is, in the other articles, is there any information given about the test’s reliability? Did it predict or correlate with other study variables in a way that seems indicative of good validity?

    Describe:

    What construct is being measured? Why is it important to measure? How is this measure different from previous attempts to measure the construct? What is the purpose of the test (e.g., research instrument, making diagnostic decisions, screening tool, etc.)

    Test construction: How did the authors generate items? Did the authors narrow down items from a larger item pool? If so, how?

    Test bias and response bias: Who is the intended target group for this test (e.g., men, women, children, students? Is it a clinical tool? Research tool?)? Was the test administered to an appropriate group of participants in the validation process? For example, it might be problematic if a test is intended for community members with eating disorders but administered only to female university students. Is the test vulnerable to response bias? For example, does it include reverse-keyed items? Are people likely to misrepresent their levels of the characteristic? Explain.

    Factor structure: What is the factor structure? Is it reported here or in a follow-up study?

    Reliability: What kinds of reliability did the authors report? What about follow-up studies of this test?

    Validity: What kinds of validity did the authors report? What about follow-up studies that include this test?

    Use your critical thinking to make evaluative comments. Are the reliability and validity reasonable? Should the authors have done more to evaluate the test? Is the original participant group representative of the intended target audience? Is the factor structure appropriate? Are the items appropriate? Is the response scale appropriate? Do you see room for improvement? Does the other study (or studies) you report support the usefulness of the test? Your critical conclusion should clearly summarize these strengths and weaknesses, as well as identifying what more could be done.

    Guidelines:

    Both the copy you submit through SafeAssign on Blackboard and the hard copy are due at the beginning of class on Dec. 1. Late deductions are as described in the syllabus.

    Five to seven typed, double-spaced pages plus title page and references.

    Use APA style throughout. Make extensive use of your APA handbook (available in the Trent Durham library if you don’t own your own copy).

    Clear introduction, stating what test you are evaluating and what you will conclude. I want to know exactly where  going at the end of the first paragraph.

    Use subheadings.

    Don’t quote except unless there is a highly compelling reason to do so. In general, it is best to paraphrase or summarize. (Note: an exception to this rule is that you will probably be providing sample items in describing the test, and that is very appropriate).

    You will be citing and referencing at least three journal articles (the original test construction/validation article plus the two follow-ups) and your textbook (I’m sure you will want to refer to various guidelines and constructs from the text).

    Adopt a formal, objective tone with no slang and no contractions.

    Do not use personal opinion, but do use critical thinking. By the time I finish reading, I should have a very clear understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the psychological test you are evaluating.

    Remember that we refer to authors’ arguments and findings but not their “beliefs.”
