Read the Heinz dilemma (http://www.simplypsychology.org/kohlberg.html), and consider what you would do if you were in his place. Write down your answer and the reasons behind it. How would your answer fit in Kohlberg’s stages? Are there other responses that Kohlberg would consider “more moral”? If so, how do you feel about this? Do you think Kohlberg’s “Heinz dilemma” is a good measure of one’s morality? Explain.

Psychologists often use psychological tests and other measures when conducting research. These measures come in a variety of forms, such as self-report questionnaires, interviews, and observational checklists. When carefully selected, measures enable researchers to make valid, reliable observations about behaviors and other variables of interest. However, when researchers use inappropriate measures, this can lead to inaccurate assessments of behavior and inappropriate decision-making. This puts the validity of the research study at risk. The problem is that there are so many options available when it comes to psychological measures. Researchers must carefully evaluate the qualitative and quantitative evidence available about the measure to ensure it is the best fit for the research context. For this Assignment, you will write a 4-6 page paper about choosing measures for psychological research. You will also identify and summarize a psychological measure that researchers in your specialization use when conducting research. Be sure to address the following: Part 1. Discuss the validity and reliability factors researchers should consider when choosing a measure. Differentiate between psychological measures with evidence of high validity and reliability versus low validity and reliability. Examine test-retest reliability, parallel-forms reliability, and split-half reliability.  Analyze what it means for scores on a psychological measure to be accurate. Examine each of the following forms of validity: face, content, criterion-related, and construct validity. Discuss three or more ethical considerations that relate to choosing a psychological measure. Part 2. Identify and Describe a Psychological Measure Describe a psychological measure that researchers use in your specialization area. Describe the construct it measures. Describe the format of the measure. Examine strengths and limitations of the measure, given the qualitative and quantitative evidence available. Explore one way you could use this measure in a research setting. The Essay should: Utilize a minimum of three peer-reviewed sources outside of your textbook to support your paper. Follow Assignment directions (review grading rubric for best results). Use correct APA formatting per the current APA Publication Manual. Demonstrate college-level communication through the composition of original materials in Standard English. Be written in Standard English and be clear, specific, and error-free. Your paper should include: Title Page Main Body of the paper Reference Page 4-6 Pages in length Unit 4 Assignment Rubric   % – Points Points Earned  Differentiate between psychological measures with evidence of high validity and reliability versus low validity and reliability.  0-5   Examine test-retest reliability, parallel-forms reliability, and split-half reliability.

Prior to beginning work on this journal, please read Chapter 13 in History and Philosophy of Psychology. This journal invites you to engage in creative thinking regarding the future potential for non-evidence-based treatments. Research one of the non-evidence-based treatments from the Chung (2012) e-book, summarize views of this treatment within its historical context, and relate these views to at least one modern theoretical perspective on psychopathology. Devise a strategy for transforming the non-evidence-based treatment into an evidence-based treatment by integrating a specific psychological theory with new or existing research. There are no explicitly wrong or right answers for this journal entry. Your journal will be graded based on whether or not you provide a substantive and thoughtful supported by existing literature.

Introduction to Psychological Science (PSY 2012) Writing Assignment #2 DUE DATE: Friday, November 6th at 11:59pm. NOTE: It is your responsibility to assure that your writing assignment is uploaded successfully, in the correct format (Word document), and is accessible to us. Any corrupted or unreadable files will be counted as a zero. Do not wait until the last minute to submit it. Late writing assignments will not be accepted more than 3 days late OVERVIEW Virtually all human outcomes, abilities, and behaviors reflect a complex interaction of nature (biological factors) and nurture (social-environmental factors) For example, many psychological processes that were once assumed to be “basic” and uniform across all humans were later found to differ across cultures, suggesting that the unique environments in which people are raised can shape the emergence of basic biological processes. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Summarize and interpret a peer-reviewed article that describes a cross-cultural difference in some psychological process. You may choose from one of the articles provided below or find an article on your own. If you have taken this class in the past, you must choose an article that you have not written about previously. For your convenience, we provide several articles that you may use (see below). However, you are welcome to find an article on your own if you prefer. You might find the EBSCO PsycInfo database useful if you choose to locate your own article. If you need assistance using PsycInfo, please contact your TA and/or consult with a Reference Librarian at the USF Library (http://www.lib.usf.edu/). RECOMMENDED ARTICLES Becker, J. C., Butz, D.

SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS Define and summarize the specific psychological process, behavior, or phenomenon that is investigated in your article. Provide enough detail so that a naïve reader could fully understand the topic of the article. Identify the features of the groups (cultures) that are being compared in the study. Are these people from different countries? If so, what countries? Are they groups within the same country who are raised within separate subcultures or communities? Describe the groups in enough detail so that it is clear where they were recruited and how they differ from each other. Describe the findings of the article. How do people from these different groups or cultures respond or behave differently? Explain the findings. Explain why people from these different groups or cultures are theorized to differ in their behavior, perceptual processes, or other psychological phenomenon. Describe the unique life experiences, backgrounds, or prior learning that presumably accounts for the observed findings. FORMATTING AND GUIDELINES The final paper should be: 3-4 pages long Double-spaced Size 12 Times New Roman font 1” margins You are NOT permitted to use any quotes. Every word you write must be your own. You will lose points if you include any quotes. Copying/pasting without quotes is plagiarism! Do not steal words or ideas from other people.
