Assignment: Evidence-Based Capstone Project, Part 6: Disseminating Results

The dissemination of EBP results serves multiple important roles. Sharing results makes the case for your decisions. It also adds to the body of knowledge, which creates opportunities for future practitioners. By presenting results, you also become an advocate for EBP, creating a culture within your organization or beyond that informs, educates, and promotes the effective use of EBP.

To Prepare:

  • Review the final PowerPoint presentation you submitted in Module 5, and make any necessary changes based on the feedback you have received and on lessons you have learned throughout the course.
  • Consider the best method of disseminating the results of your presentation to an audience.

To Complete:

Create a 5-minute, 5- to 6-slide narrated PowerPoint presentation of your Evidence-Based Project.

  • Be sure to incorporate any feedback or changes from your presentation submission in Module 5.
  • Explain how you would disseminate the results of your project to an audience. Provide a rationale for why you selected this dissemination strategy.

By Day 5 of Week 11

Submit Part 6, your revised PowerPoint presentation of your Evidence-Based Project.

 

Please explain your answer in detail and provide in-text citations.

What does it mean to have a self-concept that is so fused with representations of others?

/in /by
Question One: Consider the Research by Zhu, Ziang, Fan, and

Han in the text on Cross-Cultural Differences in Brain Activation When Considering the Self.  What does it mean to have a self-concept that is so fused with representations of others?

What does it mean to have a self-concept that is NOT fused with representations of others?

What might the behavioral implications be?
Question Two: Some psychologists have suggested that while individuals tend to use

traits to describe themselves and others, this merely tells us something about the

cognitive functioning of individuals and about their interpersonal perceptions—

it does not tell us that traits represent the best tools for the scientific analysis of personality.

How important is the fact that the layperson finds the trait a useful construct? If we accept

the importance of the layperson’s use of this construct for theory development,

does this also commit us to accepting the specific trait names and categorizations used by

the layperson (e.g., honest, aggressive, sympathetic)?
Question Three: Big five terms are great for describing differences between people. But

are they also good for explaining people’s behavior? Is it reasonable to say that “Liz smiled

and greeted people happily because she is an extravert”? Or is that similar to saying “It is

sunny and warm in San Diego this week because San Diego has nice weather”?

In other words, is this sort of “explanation” one that just takes you around in circles?

Question Four: The text discusses research on brain systems involved in higher-level

psychological functions, such as self-concept. How much do we learn about such

psychological functions by studying the brain? In other words, since we know that some

systems in the brain have to be involved in any psychological function, does an analysis

of underlying neuroanatomy answer the most pressing questions about personality? Or does

it leave unanswered critical questions about the ways in which these psychological capacities develop and function in the social world? In short: Can there be a neuroscience of personality?

Question Five:  Skinner suggests that since environmental control is ever-present,

we should learn to make maximum use of these environmental influences.  He also suggests

that concern with internal variables, such as emotion and motivation, as explanations of

behavior has led psychologists astray. Do you think this approach would lead to a more

scientific psychology?  Or might it instead create a psychology that fails to develop a science

of important aspects of human experience?

Question Six: In considering Kelly’s constructive alternativism, does it seem odd to read

about a theorist who holds little stock in idea that there is an objective reality or absolute

truth to discover?  Can we conduct a science of persons if there is no objective reality or

truth to discover?  How might Kelly’s constructive alternativism foster an even more fruitful

scientific investigation of persons than other theories?

Question Seven: B. F. Skinner questioned people’s capacity for free will and self-control.

In what ways does social cognitive theory, and its associated programs of research,

provide a counter-argument to Skinner’s position? How does a focus on expectancies

differentiate social-cognitive theory from behaviorism?  How does this shift enable

social-cognitive theorists to explain why two people react differently to the same

environment?

Question Eight: People seem to differ in their “moods.” Some people are commonly

“upbeat” and “lively.” Others seem lower in energy. Some people seem commonly to

be depressed. How does social cognitive theory explain these individual differences?

Or does it? Might this be a limitation to the social-cognitive approach? What are your

thoughts about problem-focused and emotion-focused coping?

Instructions

As a leader in emergency management, you want to minimize negative consequences of risk by implementing a risk management plan.

For this assignment, you will design a new risk management plan for the contemporary issues you identified in Unit 2, as related to the location you identified (city, organization, or agency).

Try to be as realistic as possible in your design, taking into account your city or organization’s location and mission. Feel free to incorporate components from the location’s present risk management plan (if they have one), if you feel that they are the best choice. If you use an existing risk management plan, indicate the plan as a reference.

Complete the following for this assignment:

Discuss in detail how the issues you identified impact the location.
Explain the order of priorities for management of these issues.
Analyze how you propose the organization will manage the issues.
Propose metrics that will monitor the implementation progress of your risk management plan for these issues. You are permitted to use free risk management plan templates from the Internet, but be sure to list the location of the URL where the template was located.
The following are sample metrics that could be included:

Completing a vulnerability assessment. (This is something that you would already have a start on since you have identified two issues.)
Training employees for an introduction to risk management.
Implementing policies and procedures to support the risk management plan.
Other metrics pertinent to your particular location.

Written communication: Your writing should clearly identify where each grading criteria or part of the assignment is addressed. Your points are required to be logical, substantive, and relevant based on the evidence presented. The writing must be free of errors that detract from the overall message.
APA formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to current APA style and formatting. When appropriate, use APA formatted headings.
Number of resources: Minimum of six recent, peer-reviewed resources.
