(10 points) – The example must be related to the reading. 3) How does the hypothesis relate to ethnocentrism? (10 points) 4) How does Dr. Rogoffs hypothesis relate to sociocultural theory as discussed by Vygotsky? Use two definitions from our lecture to illustrate your point (20 points). 5) In your life, think of a time when you encountered ethnocentrism. What could you do to educate someone younger about ethnocentrism? (10 points) – Think about it and give me an honest answer; this last part is solely graded on effort.

  • Does This Establish Cause-and-Effect

    1. Part 1 Use AI to create a study

    You must copy exactly the prompt given by your professor and paste it into an AI tool (such as ChatGPT).

    The AI will generate a short research study (150200 words) that includes:

    • A clinical context (for example: ABA, speech therapy, counseling, or school psychology).
    • Participants
    • Procedure
    • How the results will be measured

    Important:

    • The study must use a quasi-experimental or single-case design.
    • It cannot include random assignment.
    • It cannot be a true experiment.
    • You must not edit the text. Copy and paste it exactly as the AI generated it into Blackboard.

    2. Part 2 Analyze the design (this part must be done by you)

    You must answer three questions, about two sentences each:

    1. What type of design is it?
      • Single-case
      • or quasi-experimental
    2. How do you know it is that type of design?
      Explain briefly which characteristics of the study indicate that design.
    3. Does the study establish cause-and-effect?
      Explain whether it demonstrates causality and why.

    You must not use AI for this part.

  • Clinical evaluation and treatment planning in counseling

    1. Clinical evaluation – identify presenting problems, psychosocial history and mental status exam and collect information to assess clinical issues and formulate a diagnostic impression within the clients interpersonal and cultural context. What assessment tools/tests are you using and are referrals for adjunctive therapies being made. 2. Crisis management – ability to identify, evaluate, and manage crisis situations within the clients interpersonal and cultural context 3. Treatment planning – develop a comprehensive, measurable treatment plan and prioritize treatment goals based on assessment, diagnoses, and a theoretical model within the clients interpersonal and cultural context. Include treatment goals, clinical factors that take the clients values, beliefs, culture etc into consideration. Be sure to briefly summarize the theory your treatment is based on and then in the next section is how this theory will be implemented 4. Course of Treatment – implement, evaluate, and modify clinical interventions consistent with the treatment plan and theoretical orientation including outcome-based models and diversity factor. Consider the therapeutic relationship, the interventions you provided based on your theoretical orientation, clinical factors (such as: treatment consistent with developmental stage or use of substances, provide psychoeducation etc.) and termination 5. Diversity – the impact of culture, acculturation, economic (SES), political, gender, social and spiritual status and environment on the clients psychological problems and treatment. Consider how your treatment may change based on these diversity issues. 6. Laws and Ethics – identify, apply, and manage legal mandates and ethical standards and principles in clinical practice. Focus on issues of confidentiality / privilege, exceptions to confidentiality, professional conduct etc. (laws) and consider informed consent, therapeutic boundaries, management of ethical issues etc. (ethics). The written Capstone case study will be approximately 25 pages in length (not including cover page or reference page), have at least 15 appropriate references (no more than 5 references can come from textbooks), and adhere to APA style. Since this is not a research paper the MSMU guidelines should be used to organize your paper. The six areas (clinical evaluation, crisis management, treatment planning, course of treatment, diversity, law and ethics) should be used as main headings rather than method, results, and so on. The final paper will be submitted via Canvas on the date noted in the syllabus. Students must receive a passing grade (B- or better) on the written case study before they will be allowed to orally present their case. If the student does not pass the written portion of the Capstone, they will have one opportunity to rewrite their paper and when passed will then present the case to a panel of selected faculty members.
