Module 2 Breakout Activity
Ethical Considerations when Providing ABA Treatment
When working through the scenarios answer the following questions for each scenario:
Is there an ethical concern in the scenario?
If so, what is the concern/problem?
If you witnessed this what would you do?
If you were the person in the scenario what would you do differently? 
Scenario #1:
Dr. Smith is 53 years old, is a BCBA and a psychologist. He has been supervising staff for an ASD Treatment Clinic for the past 24 years. Due to his extensive experience in the field, and his heavy work load, Dr. Smith has been unable to attend any conferences or workshops for the past 8 years, and stopped reading journals about 6 years ago. He believes this is fine because nothing in the field changes and the old way of doing things worked then and is fine now. 
Scenario #2: 
Robert is an RBT and a father of a child with Autism and severe behavior issues. His current client, Sally, is the same age as his son and has very similar behaviors. When working, Robert often talks to Maggie’s mom about his son and how he handles behaviors at home. One day, Robert has a really rough morning with his son, then he goes into work. He has difficulty working with Sally, feeling bad about the morning’s episode. He decides to just play with Sally and pushes through the session. 
Scenario #3:
Jen is a BCBA working with Harry, a 5 year old with autism. His mom, Sarah, is a single mom who works two jobs. Jen has been working with the family for the past two years. One day, Sarah gets called into work early and asks Jen if she can sit with Josh for two hours. Sophia offers to pay Jen, since the service would be non-billable, unless Jen just wants to bill for it and Sarah would sign off on her time sheet. 

Women’s Mental Health Case Study Analysis
Objective:
The aim of this assignment is to develop a comprehensive understanding of the unique mental health issues faced by women. You will be expected to analyze a real or hypothetical case study, apply relevant theories and models, and propose interventions or treatment plans.
Instructions:
Select a Case Study (10 points): Choose a real (from a public news story), fictional (found in Literature, TV, or film) or hypothetical case that involves a woman dealing with a mental health issue.  You may NOT use someone you know (such as your mother, sister, wife) nor may you use yourself.    This should be a case from a peer-reviewed article, a book, or a reliable online source, or you can create a hypothetical scenario. Remember, the case should be complex enough to allow a detailed analysis. Provide a brief summary of the case.  If you choose a hypothetical case this is how you could approach it.  Create a Hypothetical Case: You can create a hypothetical case based on your understanding of a specific mental health issue. This hypothetical case should be realistic and based on scientific knowledge of the condition.  Give your hypothetical case a background history that fleshes out her story.
Background Research (10 points): Conduct background research on the particular mental health issue presented in your chosen case. Discuss its prevalence, how it specifically affects women, and any unique challenges it presents for diagnosis and treatment.
Theoretical Analysis (10 points): Apply at least two theoretical frameworks from our course to analyze the case. Discuss how these theories help explain the woman’s experience and the development of her mental health issue.  For example: Feminist theory, Cognitive-Behavioral theory, Jungian Psychoanalytic theory, etc.
Treatment Plan (10 points): Based on your analysis, propose a comprehensive treatment plan for the woman in your case study. This should include therapeutic approaches, any necessary medical interventions, and supportive measures for her wellbeing. Justify your choices based on the research and theories you have discussed.
Reflection (10 points): Reflect on what this case study and your analysis reveal about women’s mental health more broadly. What insights does it provide about the intersection of gender and mental health? How might these insights inform future research, policy, or practice?
Submission:
Your assignment should be 6-8 pages excluding your reference page, double-spaced, in APA format. Be sure to cite all sources appropriately.  Use 5-8 scholarly resources or more for this assignment. You may use biographies and news articles as a reference in ADDITION to the 5-8 scholarly resources. 
What is a Scholarly resource?
A scholarly resource for this assignment is a source that has been peer-reviewed and published in a reputable academic or professional venue. These sources are often written by experts in the field, such as professors or professionals with advanced degrees, and they are typically aimed at an academic audience.
Scholarly resources include peer-reviewed journal articles, academic books published by university presses, chapters from such books, and proceedings from academic conferences. They often include an abstract, a literature review, methodology, results, and a discussion section.
These sources are considered reliable because they have been vetted by other experts in the field through a process known as peer review. Before being published, these works are reviewed and critiqued by other scholars who assess the quality, rigor, and significance of the research.
For the assignment, using scholarly resources would involve finding and citing these types of sources to support your analysis and conclusions. You would typically find these resources through academic databases like PubMed, PsycINFO, JSTOR, or your university’s library resources.
Rubric:
Case Study Selection and Summary: 10 points
Background Research: 10 points
Theoretical Analysis: 10 points
Treatment Plan: 10 points
Reflection: 10 points
Due Date:  November 18th (See Assignment Tab for Due Dates)
Remember, the goal is not just to describe the case, but to critically analyze it using the knowledge you have gained from this course.
FORMAT of you PAPER:
A title page or abstract is NOT required.     The main body of an APA formatted paper incorporates the use of headings and subheadings to categorize different sections. The entirety of the text is double-spaced, and each paragraph starts with a half-inch indentation from the left margin.
After the completion of the main body, the reference list commences on a new page. The term “References” is placed at the center of the page without any bold, italic, or underline formatting. The entries in the reference list are also double-spaced, with each entry formatted with a hanging indent.
The entries are arranged in alphabetical order based on the authors’ last names, and authors’ initials are used rather than their full first and middle names. The titles of articles, books, and journals are italicized. The year of publication is mentioned in parentheses after the authors’ names.
In case of articles and chapters, the title of the article or chapter is mentioned first, followed by the title of the book or journal, and then the volume and issue number, if applicable. For books, the title of the book is followed by the edition (if not the first), the city of publication, and the name of the publisher.
Here are some examples of common APA reference list entries:
Journal Article: Author, A. A., & Author, B. B. (Year). Title of article. Title of Journal, volume number(issue number), pages. https://doi.org/xxxx
Links to an external site.
Book: Author, A. A. (Year). Title of book. Publisher.

Prompt
Research in social psychology has changed a great deal in the past 100 years. An examination of modern research, as opposed to classic research, shows differences with regard to the theoretical orientation (e.g., genetics, sociocultural approach, and social learning theory), ethics, and the basic versus applied nature of the research. There are also differences between the classic and current research with regard to its influence on social behavior.
The task of this assignment is to select one classic research study in social psychology from a provided list. You will then locate a modern (within the last 10 years) peer-reviewed research study in the same subject area. The article you locate will be submitted for instructor approval. You will analyze these studies for their approach to social psychology, the influence of theories, research trends of the different time periods, the influence of the research on society, and how issues of ethics and ethical strategies differ across time.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
Introduction: For this part of the assessment, you will:
Briefly summarize the research question, results, and conclusions reached by the authors of each study you have chosen.
Describe the social psychological approaches used in each of the chosen studies and justify why you believe that authors of the studies used these approaches.
Analyze the studies for the theories and past research you believe were used by the authors of the studies that informed their approach.
Analyze the approaches used by the authors in each of the chosen studies for how they do or do not demonstrate how the field of social psychology has changed over time. In other words, how are the approaches used by the authors in each of the chosen studies similar or different? How do they demonstrate how the field has or has not changed over the course of its history?
Human Behavior: For this part of the assessment, you will analyze each of your chosen studies for how they might have influenced the development of human behavior in society.
Explain how the research trends in social psychology in the different time periods of both studies may have informed the direction of the research. In other words, how did the research trends of the time influence the researchers in developing their study? Be sure to support your response with appropriate evidence.
Assess how, once published and conveyed to the public, the results and conclusions reached by the researchers of the chosen studies may have influenced human behaviors.
Assess how the chosen studies were or were not aligned with the established research trends of the time, and how that may have affected how they were received by the public. Be sure to support your response with appropriate evidence.
Influence on Society: For this part of the assessment, you will evaluate the impact of the chosen studies in terms of how they have instigated social change and how they have benefited society. You should consider researching the historical context of the chosen study to support your responses.
Analyze the chosen studies for elements of the research that you believe may have been a benefit to society at any point in time and be sure to justify your response.
Analyze the chosen studies for elements of the research that you believe may have had a negative impact on society at any point in time and be sure to justify your response.
Explain possible ways that the results or conclusions of the studies could be applied to everyday life in modern society.
Evaluate the chosen studies for how they may have influenced events of social change (positively or negatively). Be sure to provide examples to support your response.
Describe a personal or professional experience in which elements of social psychological research could be applied to help influence change.
Explain how influential you believe social psychological research has been on changing behavior in society. If you believe it is not influential, explain why.
Ethical Considerations: For this part of the assessment, you will analyze each of the chosen studies for ethical issues that might be present, and examine how the time period may have influenced the ethical strategies of the researchers.
Analyze each of the chosen studies for any potential ethical issues that may be present in their research design. If there are no potential ethical issues, explain why. Be sure to consider issues with research design as well as the impact of the experiment on the participants.
Explain how well each of the studies follow the ethical guidelines of their respective time period and justify your response. In other words, how do the ethical guidelines of the time period of the study change, whether the studies should be considered ethical or unethical?
Recommend ethically appropriate strategies that could be utilized by the studies in order to address identified ethical issues. In other words, what changes could be made to the studies in order to make them align with more modern ethical guidelines?

**FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT USE THE STATE OF GA. BE SURE TO FOLLOW EVERY SINGLE DETAIL AND CITE THE SOURCES. THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE ATTACHED ALONG WITH THE WORKSHEET. BE SURE TO ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS AND DO YOUR THOROUGH RESEARCH TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS ACCURATELY, BECAUSE IT WILL BE CHECKED.

According to your text, Competency 10 is how you represent and disseminate the field of behavior analysis to individuals who are not behavior analysts. 
This competency is about how you relay what we do as behavior analysts when you interact with clients, their families, and other individuals who are not behavior analysts (e.g., school personnel, occupational and speech therapists, your friends, the community at large).
As a behavior analyst, you will need to work on your “bedside manner.” This is an older phrase, typically used in the medical profession, to refer to how a health care professional builds rapport with patients and their family members, relays information about diagnosis and medical procedures, and communicates patients’ progress. How a health care professional interacts with patients, their loved ones, and other stakeholders influences continuity of care, treatment acceptability, and how family members cope with difficult news. 
The same is true for the behavior analyst profession. As a behavior analyst, you are likely to work with at-risk populations and family members, teachers, and other stakeholders who may be under much duress. Parents want to understand their children and to work with professionals who care for them. You will need to communicate with parents and caregivers using lay-person language and put them at ease when they feel confused about the treatment protocol. You also need to have a cultural competence such that you are respectful of cultures other than yours and be open to learning how culture effects each of your clients’ treatment needs and the decisions their caregivers make.
For this competency, there are two component skills: (a) develop and present a training module to individuals unfamiliar with behavior analysis and (b) explain behavioral concepts and philosophy using nontechnical language.
In this Final Exam short answer response, you are to present (b) explain behavioral concepts and philosophy using nontechnical language.
The Scenario you are to write about 
You have been asked to make a presentation on contingencies to a group of teachers at a local elementary school. The purpose of this presentation is to introduce contingency based instruction and intervention. What would you include in your presentation to these teachers to get them interested in a more formalized training on implementation.

Can change this to match the question :“Is in-person schooling better for students aged 18-25 than those aged 30 and above,”
