It is tempting to think that Canadians do not stereotype, exhibit prejudice or behave in discriminatory ways.

However, this is not the case. For this assignment, find an example of an SPD that has occurred in Canada some time within the past 50 years. Upload your source (e.g. newspaper article, magazine article). In three to five typed double-spaced pages, describe and analyze the SPD you have chosen. Here are some of the questions you may wish to consider:

What is the historical context of this SPD? Who are the targets? Who are the perpetrators? Is this SPD an isolated instance or an ongoing SPD? How did the targets) of the SPD respond to the SPD? Has the SPD been recognized by perpetrators and/or bystanders as an SPD? If so, how have perpetrators/bystanders responded? In your opinion, was the response to this SPD appropriate? Could the response have been different? Better? Worse? How likely is this SPD to re-occur? With the same targets? With other targets?

For assignments asking for your personal opinion, DO use the first person (I) and NOT the

third-person (the writer) format.

Double-space your assignments, and DONT leave extra spaces between paragraphs or sections.

Use 1-inch/2.54 centimetres margins. Use 12-point Times New Roman font. And please do

proofread your assignments so you can correct typos and grammatical errors (e.g., run- on

sentences, sentence fragments). A portion of each of your assignments will be based on the

quality of your manuscript see posted rubrics.

Next week, you will be summarizing technical information regarding each test you have chosen from the test publisher’s website and from the Mental Measurements Yearbook (MMY) or PsycTESTS. You can use this week to begin to locate this information. Refer to the following: Database Guide: Mental Measurements YearbookLinks to an external site.. Database Guide: PsycTESTSLinks to an external site.. You are encouraged to use the PSY7610 Research GuideLinks to an external site. to assist your search. The library has also prepared the Psyc Tests and Measures media to help you though common hurdles with searching the library for this course. Please also reach out to the library and make an appointment with a librarian if you have questions concerning your searches.For this assignment, you will continue building on the information you’ve compiled previously about your eight selected tests by gathering the available technical information from the publisher’s website and the MMY or PsycTESTS. The MMY is a resource that you can use for the rest of your career to look up tests to determine the norming and validation of a test. Instructions Describe and assess the technical information about your eight tests from the test publisher’s website (if there is one) and from the MMY or PsycTESTs. Important: When searching the library for the MMY, know that the MMY is a database in the library, not a book or article. Complete the following: Describe how the test was developed. Distinguished assignments will provide detail or examples to illustrate. Describe how it is administered. Distinguished assignments will provide detail or examples to illustrate. Assess the validity information. Distinguished assignments will fully explicate each measure’s validity and why the test is valid. Assess the reliability information. Distinguished assignments will fully explicate each measure’s reliability and why the test is reliable. Assess strengths of the test. Assess weaknesses of the test. Distinguished assignments will fully delineate the weaknesses as well strengths. Analyze the administration, scoring, and interpretation technology of the tests. This can include listing the things that the computer does for you on a test, such as scoring, interpretation, and administration. The assessor needs to make a judgment about whether that’s appropriate. For instance, how useful or appropriate do you think it would be if the entire test is computerized? Acknowledge some of the drawbacks of the technology if you see them. A distinguished assignment would compare the different ways of administering the test. Evaluate the legal, ethical, and professional issues related to each measure. A distinguished assignment would fully explicate two key issues and their impact. One’s own bias as a tester could be one of those issues.
