Then, address in your Practicum Journal the following:

Using the Group Therapy Progress Note in this weeks Learning Resources, document the family session.

Support your approach with evidence-based literature.

You will submit elements of your project over the course of three weeks. The first two graded elements are 1) an outline of the project and 2) the sources used for the project. In order to receive points for these two elements, they must be submitted on the required due date so that I may provide feedback to you prior to the final project due date.

Project Title: Observation of Social Behavior
Conduct an observation of human social behavior in a public place (i.e., supermarket, church, nightclub) but not in a private area (i.e., bathroom, bedroom). Specific references should be made in the observation to principles discussed in class. These may include: altruism, attraction, conformity, gender, group influence, persuasion and/or prejudice.
Project Components
Title page: On your title page, in addition to your name, e-mail address, course title and number, and title of your observation, name the site of the observation.
Goals: In this section, list two to three goals for your observation. You might want to view social behaviors between genders; examine social behaviors among ethnic/racial groups; or determine age related social behaviors in a group. Useful terms include investigate, discover, reveal, (one page).
Research question: For this observation , you must have a specific question or set of questions that you are trying to answer. You might explore, for example, whether participants in your setting have any characteristic behaviors which are observable. In this section, state the question you are trying to answer. Your question must be detailed and specific. For example, are there distinguishable behaviors that lead a man to ask a woman to dance in a bar setting?; What are the specific behaviors of people who are paying attention in church?; Do older people influence the behavior of younger people?
Populations: Are there specific typologies that can be formed based on the social behaviors observed? For example, Cautious Carl is the driver who has both hands on the wheel, drives no faster than the speed limit, and maintains a serious look on his face. Smiling Samantha is the woman who talks to all the people she passes in the supermarket aisle.
Abstracts: Locate five abstracts from social psychological literature relating to your observation. Attach the abstracts to your paper and explain how the research helps form the research question for your observation.
Introduction (the setting): In this section, discuss the setting in which your observation will occur. Include sufficient detail so that it is clear how the setting might have affected behaviors discussed throughout the paper.
Observational sessions: In this section, detail the behaviors which occurred during your observation. You should have between 1 to 3 sessions in your setting.
Results: In this section, state the results you observed related to your research question. Also, explain why you drew the conclusions you drew based on the behaviors. Include theories from social psychology that point to these results. Discuss the influence of your own experiences on your observation results.
References: In this section, list the references you quoted in your paper. Add a bibliography of books, articles, and Web sites that you recommend regarding your observation.

Write an Argument essay about the question Has the single story of women changed since pre-suffrage(Stantons time) ? Why or why not?

This assignment is due on Sunday, Sept 22 at 11:59 pm. You must submit this Virtual Communication Project to Chalk and Wire. The Chalk & Wire link is located in this Key Assignment Module. Students who do not submit the assignment to Chalk & Wire will receive a zero. This is a key assignment assessment; the results are used to ensure students are meeting University Exploration program goals. Instructions for submitting and reviewing your assignment can be found below.
You are to gather and analyze conversations comparing virtual to face-to-face interactions.

Begin by creating a brief 5 question opinion survey/interview on a topic of interest. This should include open-ended questions so that the people surveyed can elaborate on their answers.
Please be mindful of using open questions in your survey. These are questions that require an explanation / more than a few words. Here are some examples: What are some of the things you like about this class? What are the challenges of going to school while working full time? How is an online class different from a face-to-face class? What types of activities do you enjoy in your class? Describe the consequences of getting behind. Avoid closed questions. These are questions that can be answered with a couple words and offer no explanation. Here are examples: How many classes are you taking this semester? What classes are you taking this semester? When do you have class? Do you think you are going to pass? Did you turn in all your assignments? Are the tests hard? When is the semester over?

Complete the survey/interview with 3 people face-to-face then complete the same survey/interview with 3 people using virtual communication such as email, text messaging, chat room, discussion board, or any other virtual means that you wish to use.

To prepare your essay, think critically about your results.
Determine what your thesis is and state it clearly and concisely. It should briefly introduce your topic but more importantly should indicate how virtual interaction compares and contrasts with face-to-face interaction. This will be the first sentence of your essay.

In the body of your essay, you should include your survey-interview questions but it is not necessary to include your participants answers. Focus on the answers to these questions and compare and contrast the 2 sets of information. Were your results what you expected? How were they similar; how were they different? Was it easier to interact virtually or face-to-face? What were the challenges? What were the advantages of meeting face-to-face verses meeting virtually? What were the disadvantages of each way? How did the differences in the following seem to influence the nature of the responses: physical distance, anonymity, richness of communication, visual cues, time? You will want to be very thorough in the body as this is a very large percentage of your grade on the essay.

Your conclusion should summarize how virtual interaction with people compares and contrasts with face-to-face interaction reaffirming your thesis without restating it. This is where you conclude with an overall summary describing your insight into what the findings mean to you and what you learned about yourself in reference to your psychological well-being and the method of communication that proves more effective.

5-8 page paper.

This paper is expected to demonstrate a level of writing appropriate to a university level course and make competent use of AT LEAST TWO SECONDARY SOURCES (a healthy library of which can be found in the “Modules” section on Canvas). They should be free from any noticeable spelling and grammar errors and gross misconceptions about course content. They should be organized and clear. Most importantly, they should demonstrate a level of thoughtful engagement with the course material that shows evidence of a semester-long inquiry.

If you haven’t already done so, now is a good time to look at the Writing Philosophy resource.

You may choose the topic for your paper from any of the assigned Reflection Draft prompts (though some prompts may need to be punched up a bit from their original versions to be suitable for this assignment).

Additionally, if you would like to use a different topic (including drawing from essay prompts in Exams 1 & 2), you may do so pending instructor approval. Email your proposed topic to the instructor no later than 11/26/19. Alternative topics sent after that date will not be approved.

It is strongly recommended that you start the writing process afresh, beginning with some sort of outline or pre-writing, rather than simply editing your first draft. Your goal should be to demonstrate to me that you have learned something from engaging with the substance of this course. Your initial “hot take” will not be sufficient.
