PSY 496 WEEK 1
PSY 496 WEEK 1After reviewing the information provided above, you will create a two- to three-page case study focusing on professional and personal scenarios (they can be real or hypothetical) in which you evaluate your learning as it contributes to the overall attainment of Ashford University’s institutional outcomes and the Bachelor of Arts in Psychology program outcomes.
In the body of your paper:
Discuss the Ashford University institutional outcomes and the program outcomes by identifying their relevance to a profession in psychology.
Create one personal life example and one career example in which you (or a fictitious person) struggle with personal challenges and an ethical dilemma (e.g., a client or research subject reveals compromising information about a friend or family member who also happens to be someone you know in a personal/social context).
After identifying the problem, include a section wherein you address each of the following prior to making a decision about a course of action:
From your point of view, what is the problem?
From the point of view of other individuals, what is the problem?
What are the options? What are potential consequences of the options?
What are the risks of each potential solution?
What are the risks of not resolving the challenges effectively?
What evidence/data do you have to assist you in decision making?
Apply the competencies gained at Ashford University (from the institutional and program outcomes) to identify the preferred resolutions to the situations you identified in #2 above. Select at least three competencies that are most relevant to your scenarios. Be specific in your discussion of the scenarios and provide details demonstrating professional problem solving in your case study.
Conclude the case study with how you resolved the problem (the outcome) and what you learned while at Ashford University that assisted you in deciding on an effective resolution. You may also identify additional competencies used to resolve the problem that are not included in the institutional and program outcomes.
Utilize at least one scholarly source as a basis for the evidence you will use to rationalize the decision-making process. All sources must be documented in APA style, as outlined by the Ashford Writing Center.

Week 1 Dq
Read the “Research Areas of Emphasis in Professional Psychology” article and select a topic of psychological research discussed in the article (e.g., evidence-based treatments, veterans/active military, multicultural issues, ethical issues, natural disasters, forensic, health, child psychology, suicide, chronic pain, rural practice, interpersonal violence, graduate/internship training and education, managed care issues, or professional roles). This topic will be used as the focus of the literature review you will be creating as part of your Final Project, as well as for aspects of other assignments within this course, so select a topic that is of personal interest to you.
In your post, discuss some of the methodological issues unique to this psychological research.
State the topic you selected and then write two potential research questions that could be explored on the topic you selected.
Identify at least one potential research design to answer each of the research questions you wrote (you will identify a total of two designs).
Each question will require a different research design to be selected to investigate the topic.

Guided Response: Review several of your classmates’ posts. Provide a substantive response to at least two of your peers. What are the strengths in the research questions and methods they proposed? Does the research design adequately address the question? What constructive suggestions would you give for improvement?
