INSTRUCTIONS ON PAPER: 

Write a 6–8-page action plan to resolve issues in a case study  based on evaluation of relevant psychological theory, research,  principles, and standards.

When faced with a problem that involves psychology, you could merely  rely on lessons drawn from your own personal experience, but of course,  your education in this field has given you greatly enhanced sources of  guidance.

Preparation

Return to the case study that you considered in Assessments 1 and 2.

• Identify two or three psychological theories and principles that  help to explain the reasons for the problem and point toward potential  solutions for it.
• Use the Capella University Library to locate at least three  scholarly research studies in an area of psychology relevant to the  problem. If you have had the opportunity to conduct or assist formal  research in an academic or professional context, you may be able use the  study in this assessment. However, if you wish to do so, e-mail a copy  of the study to your instructor and ask for confirmation that it is  appropriate for the assessment.

Instructions

Complete the following:

• Create a title page: Write a brief title that  concisely conveys the purpose of this report. It is suggested that you  use the APA Paper Template, linked in the Resources under the APA  Resources heading, to format your paper to format your work according to  the APA manual (current edition).
• Write an introduction: For the introduction section of your paper, include the title at the top of the first page. (In APA format, the word Introduction is not used as a heading.) Briefly summarize:      
  • The case you have chosen.
  • A high-level summary of ethical and cultural issues that you identified in the case.
  • How theories and research, in general terms, help explain the problems in the case and point toward solutions.
  • How the case relates to a larger societal problem or problems.
• Create a heading titled Case Issues: Review the case issues, including the ethical and cultural issues, in more detail.
• Create a heading titled Theoretical Framework:  Analyze how two or three psychological theories help explain the  problem and point toward potential solutions. In doing so, cite relevant  principles or concepts derived from these theories. For example:      
  • Let us say that we are assisting an adolescent from Germany  who has moved to the United States and is having a rough time adjusting  to her new high school. In addition to information gathered from her,  her parents, and the school, we could consider Erikson’s psychosocial  theory and the stage of identity and role confusion in which adolescents  search to establish their own values, beliefs, and goals. During this  important time of identity development, the teen has been immersed in an  entirely different culture with values and beliefs different from the  one which she knows. We could consider to what extent she was mastering  the stage prior to and then after the move. Based on sociocultural  theory, we would enquire about the differences in culture that may be  impinging on her success in interacting in her new environment. By  integrating the two theories, we can get a better understanding of how  her developmental stage is clashing with her sociocultural context. We  might search for research on adolescent development and cross-cultural  experiences to get a better understanding of what research demonstrates  is effective in assisting teenagers in this position.
• Create a heading titled Related Research:  Summarize at least three research studies that pertain to the problem. A  summary will provide your reader with a clear understanding of the  purpose of the study, the methods, and the findings.      
  • Describe the research designs and methods used in the studies.
  • Use principles of critical thinking to evaluate the quality of the research and analyze the relevance to the problem.          
    • Evaluate how the research methods employed support the studies’ findings.
    • Analyze how the studies’ findings explain reasons for the problem and point toward potential solutions.
    • Analyze how the studies’ findings relate to the psychological theories you previously cited.
    • Compare findings of the studies and assess how they support or contradict each other.
    • See if any contradiction is apparent. If so, try to  explain why the contradiction may have developed and which position is  more credible and why.
• Create a heading titled Action Plan:  Based on your theoretical and research findings as well ethical and  cultural considerations, provide an action plan with recommendations for  how to resolve the problem you researched in a fair and just manner.      
  • Make clear how the objectives of your plan are specific,  measurable, achievable, and relevant to the problem, and the timeline  for implementation should be.
  • Integrate information from your sources to support your recommendations.
• Create a heading titled Conclusion:  Briefly summarize the importance of the problem, how psychological  theories, principles, and research may point to ways improve the  problem, and the implications for a larger societal problem or problems.

Keep in mind throughout this assessment that while your writing must  conform to APA standards, you must explain all information in a manner  that can be easily understood by a nonacademic or nonscientific  audience.

Refer to the Research Analysis and Action Plan Scoring Guide to ensure that you meet the grading criteria for this assessment.

INSTRUCTORS FEEDBACK

Thank you for submitting your u3a1 paper. SafeAssign indicated that  your paper has a 52% match for plagiarism and this is too high. While  you can use some of the same information from other assessments, you  copied verbatim the same information from assessments 1 and 2.  Assessment 3 asks for different information and you need to address  those questions as you will need to use all 3 assessments for your unit 4  presentation. 

While the assessments do build on each other, they  do also require very different information. It would not make sense to  submit the same information for 3 assessments and you need the 3  assessments to complete the unit 4 presentation. The first assessment  asks you to choose a case study and analyze an ethical dilemma within  it, based on the application of ethical principles. You were asked to  think of this ethical analysis as a report you would make in a  professional context. Then in Assessment 2, you were asked to report on  cultural aspects of the same case. This is not the same as unit 1. In  Assessment 3, you were asked to apply psychological theories, research,  principles and standards to develop an action plan to resolve the case.  Again, this is not the same as unit 1 or unit 2 so you should not have  the exact same information submitted in all 3 papers. I hope this helps  as Assessment 4 asks you to submit your presentation to communicate your  research and plan based on your 3 assessments.

 You  cited most places but had several areas where you did not cite. You are  almost there! You need to write in your own words only and cite properly  in order to demonstrate your own learning and understanding of the  material. In order to demonstrate your understanding of the material,  you need to write in your own words.

You are so close! If you  do include a quote, you need to cite it properly and use quotation  marks and page numbers in your citations. If a quote is 40 words or  more, you need to use block format. You can amend this paper and submit  your next revision. The problem is that you need to cite  properly when you take information from other sources. Please work with  your tutor to cite properly and consistently throughout your paper.
