Final paper

This assignment is an opportunity for you to connect all of the various group dynamic properties that we’ve learned about in class to real world group scenarios. Each student is required to write a 2-3 page paper (500-750 words) in which you connect your observations about one or more groups to class readings and material. You have two options when selecting the overall topic for the paper:

1. Focus on one group and examine it on 2-3 different dimensions. These dimensions should be specific topics that were covered in the lecture material throughout the class. The one group you choose can be a group that you are a member of outside of class or can be the group that you were a part of throughout the term within the class.

2. Choose 1 topic (ex. leadership, conflict, etc.) and compare and contrast 2-3 different groups. These can be political groups, sports teams, academic groups, etc.. There is no limitation on the types of groups that you choose and you can also compare and contrast groups from within the class.

You will be expected to cite 3 specific research articles throughout the paper. There is a list of research articles that are tied to the topics covered in class in the files section on canvas in a folder called “research articles”. You can use any of these articles or you can also search for and find your own research articles that are related to your topic. You will be expected to use in text citations and will also be required to produce a works cited page that does not count towards your page or word limit.

You will be graded on three criterion which are in order of importance (More information found in the rubric):

1. Quality of insight/analysis (40 points):

Is the paper thoughtful and insightful and are you able to effectively integrate all of the components that you are discussing in a way that demonstrates that you understand the dynamics that you have chosen?

2. Connection to Readings (40 points):

Was there enough papers cited and were the papers related to the topic being discussed? Were the citations done correctly? Is the paper connected overall to topics covered in class?

3. Quality of writing (20 points):

Is the paper tightly organized and easy to read? Are the

Review the case of Shelly

The case of Shelly… Shelly’s sixth-grade teacher expressed concern about progressively declining grades. Shelly was involved in a car accident during fifth grade in which she suffered a concussion along with a broken arm and leg. Due to the extent of her injuries and the extensive pain she experienced, Shelly missed several weeks of school and had to repeat the fifth grade. Shelly was assessed 3 months ago and the psychological assessment revealed intellectual functioning to be in the average range, with academic functioning at a mid-fifth grade level in all areas. Shelly did not qualify for any academic assistance because the discrepancy between intellectual and academic scores was not significant. However, academic concerns have continued to escalate, and Shelly is becoming more and more vocal about disliking school. There are frequent concerns about stomachaches, and there is often refusal to eat lunch. In the past 4 months, Shelly has been absent for 15 days and tardy on another 12 occasions. The school is requesting further assessment to clarify the nature of Shelly’s problems. During the recent follow-up assessment, Shelly completed a number of self-report scales (depression, anxiety, personality), and scores indicate clinically significant elevations for all internalizing scales, including depression, somatization (physical symptoms with no discernible physical cause), and anxiety (Adapted from Wilmshurst, 2011, p. 7).

Complete the following tasks:

  • Develop a problem list of the most pressing issue(s) to be addressed.
  • Develop a list of 15 questions that you would ask if you were the clinician assigned to this case in order to better understand what caused the problem and why it is persisting.

Your questions should target potential biological, psychological, and sociocultural causes.

Assuming that you obtained answers to the questions you developed (you have some flexibility here in terms of generating “mock” information that was obtained), develop a 1-2 page case formulation that explains the development and persistence of Shelly’s problems.
