Paper Writing Guidelines:

• Paper should meet the 1,000-word mark (title page and references do not count toward the length requirement).
• Paper should be written in ; this includes title page and document formatting (1-inch margins, double-spaced, 12-point font, etc.) as well as properly formatted in-text citations and reference page. An abstract is not required.
• This paper will have in-text citations throughout, which will include your learning resources and any other source you utilize. So, you will have at least 3 resources, cited in the text properly in APA format as well as a full references page to close your piece.
• Apply sound writing mechanics: write with clarity and pay attention to spelling/grammar. Consider reading your paper out loud or having a friend, family member, or dictation software read it back to you for a different perspective.
• Use subject headings to visually organize your paper for you and your reader. These can correspond with the outline above.

Testing and Measurements Week 9: Standardizing Measurement Scores Information about test norms allows you to equate scores across different tests of the same construct and lets you compare individuals to each other. Once you have the mean and standard deviation of a score, you can calculate an individuals z-score. Z-scores, also known as standard scores, tell you how many standard deviations away from the mean an individual is. Scores that are two standard deviations away from the mean represent the most extreme 5% of the population and often are considered to be unusual enough to warrant special consideration, such as a clinical diagnosis. For instance, IQ scores that are two standard deviations above the mean (130 or greater) are considered in a gifted range, and scores two standard deviations below the mean (70 or lower) are considered intellectually deficient. Scores on measures of depression that are two standard deviations above the mean often are considered to represent clinical depression. T-scores are another kind of standard score; the MMPI is the best-known example of a test that uses T-scores. (Note that T-scores have nothing to do with t-tests.) Z-scores have a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1; T-scores have a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. Thus, the average score on a test would be assigned a T-score of 50 and a z-score of zero. A score that was one standard deviation below average would be assigned a T-score of 40 and a z-score of -1. For this Assignment, you will practice converting raw test scores into more meaningful standardized scores. To prepare for this Assignment: Download the Week 9 Assignment Template (Word document)Download Week 9 Assignment Template (Word document) Download the SPSS Data file Ocean Week 9.savDownload SPSS Data file Ocean Week 9.sav Read the assigned pages in the SPSS Instructions on how to transform raw scores into standardized scores. Use the Week 9 Assignment Template to properly organize, format, and present your standardized scores. Submit a 2-page paper (not including references) that addresses the following: Using the OCEAN SPSS data file, convert the OCEAN measures to T-scores, percentile scores, and z-scores. Then, split the file based on gender and compute the means and standard deviations for the male and female respondents in the sample, and summarize these in an APA Style table. Finally, compute a t-test to compare the T-scores based on gender. Summarize these analyses in an APA Style table. Then, explain insights you gained from your analyses about the impact and interpretation of transformed scores.

This assignment is a cause-and-effect essay about social media addiction. It must be at least 600 words long and contain exactly five paragraphs: one introduction, three body paragraphs, and one conclusion.

In the introduction, the topic is presented, and at the end of the paragraph, the thesis statement is written. The thesis must include three causes of social media addiction, and it must be the same one used in the outline and the annotated bibliography, which were adjusted to match this topic. These three causes will be developed in the three body paragraphs.

Each of the three body paragraphs must explain a different cause (for example: excessive screen time, lack of parental supervision, and the need for social validation) and must include at least one in-text citation from academic sources such as ProQuest or Google Scholar.

The essay must follow APA 7 format (Times New Roman, 12-point font, double spacing) and use headings: a centered bold title (Level 1) for the main topic and bold, left-aligned subtitles (Level 2) for each cause.

At the end, a separate References page must be included with at least three academic sources, the same ones used in the Annotated Bibliography.

Lists, tables, graphs, and copying text generated by artificial intelligence are not allowed. The paper must be uploaded as a file using the paperclip icon, not as a link. If the topic is changed, citations are missing, or APA format is not followed, many points will be lost or the student may receive a zero.

Instructions Select a case for your specialization (school counseling or clinical mental health counseling) from the scenarios provided below. You are meeting with the client for the first time. You ask the client to complete an assessment measure and you collect relevant information about their presenting problem and history. This assignment has two parts. In Part 1, you will record a video of yourself explaining the instructions for the assessment to your client. Part 2 is a written component that includes information about the measure, the results, and your understanding of the results. Complete the following as part of your initial session. Part 1: Video Component Record a 25 minute video of yourself using Kaltura or similar software to explain the instructions for the assessment to the client. The video should be no less than 2 minutes and no longer than 5 minutes in length. Please be sure you record yourself in a professional setting (as you would if you were providing telehealth services). In an actual first counseling session, you would spend time reviewing the informed consent document (such as limits to confidentiality, et cetera) and introducing the client to the counseling process. However, for the purpose of this assignment, simply go straight into sharing about the type of assessment or screening you’d like them to complete. An example is below: “Hi __________. Thanks so much for meeting with me today and sharing about what you’re currently struggling with. To best understand your circumstances (and include other rationale for providing the assessment/screening), I’d like you to complete the ____________(insert the corresponding assessment measure for your case scenario). The ___________ (insert assessment measure) is looking at ___________ (insert information about the assessment/screening and what it is looking at) . . . .” Provide instructions to the client on how to complete the assessment measure. Refer to Audio and Video in this Course under Tools and Resources to know more about Kaltura, if you are using that tool for recording the video. Part 2: Written component For this part of the assignment, write a 34 page paper that addresses the following: Assessment results. Score the assessment the client took and present the results. Discuss the reliability and validity of this measure. This section should be 23 paragraphs and include at least one scholarly source. Historical view of assessment. Include a brief historical overview of the assessment tools used in the assignment. Discuss how these assessments have evolved over time and how different theoretical perspectives have influenced their development. How has the history of assessment informed your understanding of the results? This section should be 23 paragraphs and include at least one scholarly source. Cultural considerations. How might the cultural considerations in your case study impact the interpretation of the score? Consider addressing the cultural biases that might exist in traditional assessment tools and how these have been addressed or modified for diverse populations. What is your understanding of the client’s problem based on the information provided? Reflect on your own biases and assumptions that might impact the assessment process. This section should be 11.5 pages and include at least one scholarly source. Insert the link to your video at the top of your paper and submit the paper to the assignment area. A minimum of three scholarly sources are required. Additional Requirements Your assignment should also meet the following requirements: Written communication: Written communication is free from errors that would detract from the overall message. APA formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to current APA style. Use Academic Writer for guidance in citing sources and formatting your paper in proper APA style. See the Writing Center for more APA resources specific to your degree level. Number of resources: A minimum of three scholarly resources (distinguished submissions will likely exceed that minimum). Length of video: 25 minutes. Length of paper: 34 typed, double-spaced pages, excluding title and reference pages. Scenario: Kristen (Clinical Mental Health Counseling) Kristin is a 32-year-old, cis-gender, straight, African-American woman who is married and the mother of one child. She has had numerous worries for the past five years but has never sought counseling. During the last appointment with her family physician, she was referred to a counselor due to her intense feelings and decline in happiness in the past few months. For several months, Kristin has been experiencing intrusive, repetitive thoughts that centered around her child’s safety. She frequently imagines that various, serious accidents have occurred and cannot put these thoughts out of her mind. For example, on one occasion, she imagined that her son had a broken leg playing soccer at school and called the school to see if he was all right. Even after learning that he was fine, she admitted being somewhat surprised when he arrived home unharmed. Additionally, Kristin is not satisfied with her marriage and is having challenges managing her child’s behavior and all a parent should teach a child. Questions From the Therapist “Hello Kristin. It’s nice to meet you. I see that your family physician referred you to me. Would you tell me from your perspective why you’re here today?” “I’ll be honest. I’m not really sure. I had gone to see Dr. Rockler because I’ve been having chest pain, which scared me half to death, let me tell you! Anyhow, it turned out the chest pains were nothing. I felt pretty foolish about that, but she said it wasn’t uncommon. But while I was talking to her about Nathan and how much I worry about his health and if he’s safe, she thought I was worrying too much. Which, on the one hand, yes, I know I’m a worrier. I always have been, but since becoming a mother, it’s like it all focused on Nathan and him being safe. But on the other hand, what mother doesn’t worry about her child? All I want is to protect him and keep him safe. When I can’t be with him, like when he’s at school, then it’s harder to turn off the worries, so perhaps Dr. Rockler has a point.” “You mentioned having thoughts about Nathan’s safety. Could you describe those thoughts to me?” “I don’t know. It’s like some thought about something that could have happened to him will pop into my mind and once it’s there, I can’t let it go. We’re so close, sometimes it feels like I know what he’s feeling even when we’re apart. One time, he was at school, and I knew they were playing soccer and I had this sudden sense that he’d broken his leg. It felt so certain. I called the school in a panic, and they swore nothing had happened. I calmed down a little, but I’ll be honest when he came home and his leg was alright, I felt confused.” “Could you talk about your relationship with your husband and his role in parenting Nathan?” “Oh, I sure could. I could talk for hours about that! I’ll be honest. Trey never wanted children. When we were dating, he would talk about starting a family ‘eventually’ but after we got married, I realized that eventually was always going to be a moving target. I’ll admit, I did feel a little tricked. Trey isn’t a bad father, but he isn’t particularly involved. He expects me to take care of everything related to Nathan, which is fine except that I was an only child and I don’t really know what’s normal for a little boy. Trey is the oldest of four boys, so he could be so much help in raising Nathan, but he just does the bare minimum. It is frustrating.” The therapist decides to have Kristen take the GAD7 counseling assessment. The following documents provide the GAD7 assessment form and Kristen’s completed GAD7 results.
