Week 8 Assignment: Case Study Assignment
This assignment is due by Sunday of Week 8 at 11:55 pm ET
You have been invited to be an expert guest lecturer at a local university in a disaster psychology class. Your job is to give a presentation based on a disaster from the last 20 years. Your lecture needs to include consideration of the following factors: the scope of the disaster, community impact, psychological and health risks to first responders, psychological assessment, impact on psychological functioning of first responders and civilian victims, and the need for community outreach.
Include the following components in your presentation:
1). Select a different format than you did for the Week 4 presentation assignment. Create an Adobe Sparks, Smore Newsletter, PowerPoint, Concept Map or Word Document include your name, class title, name of the assignment & date at the beginning of the assignment.
2). Identify and present a disaster that occurred in the past 20 years. As part of this discussion, include how relevant media sources and political events influenced the response to this disaster. NOTE: You may reference the 9/11 case study provided as part of the course materials as a guide, but you cannot copy information directly from this article.
3). Discuss the impact of the disaster on the community/civilian victims and identify the psychological and health risks to first responders. Key components must be given for this specific disaster.
4). Explain how you would assess for trauma-induced psychiatric disorders in first responders following this disaster. What factors might challenge this process?
5). Identify how community resources were strong and areas in which they were lacking following the disaster. What suggestions for community outreach efforts would you make?
6). Add at least 4 pictures (illustrations/charts/graphics or videos) and give a caption to indicate which requirement relates to that picture. 
7). Add at least 4 scholarly references in APA (7th Edition) format. 
The APUS Writing Center at Writing@APUS and APUS Library both offer a wealth of information for writing and APA formatting.

As you recall, behavior can be influenced by both the person and the situation. For this assignment, we are focused on causal attributions- the process of trying to determine the cause of people’s behavior. Making a causal attribution can be a bit like conducting a social psychology experiment- we observe a person(s) we are interested in, record their behavior, draw conclusions, and note any limitations. As a “social psychologist in training” it is your job to determine which of these two causes (dispositional or situational) more strongly determined the behavior. You will need to complete BOTH parts below. 
PART 1 (DATA COLLECTION):
You will need to identify a total of FIVE different targets (people) to observe- it would be best if you could try and balance it between people that you know well (i.e., friend, family member, co-worker, etc.) and those that you do not (i.e., stranger, acquaintance, etc.). You do not need to announce that you are observing them, and your observation does not need to be long- it can just be a quick snapshot of their behavior in a particular situation/circumstance. For each target person (five total), you will need to identify the following:
Who did you observe (i.e., roommate, cashier, coworker, sales associate, mother, etc.- you don’t need to include their specific name)? If it was a someone you didn’t already know, also mention what you noticed first about them (i.e., physical feature(s), social category membership(s), and trait(s)).
What was the setting/situation?
What was the target person’s behavior that you observed?
What was your initial attribution? Would you label this as dispositional or situational?
What are the limitations in your observation/are there any alternative attributions that you could have made?
Now, I want you to do the same with yourself for two recent situations (i.e., I arrived late to work, I yelled at my kid, I complimented a friend on their sunglasses, etc.) For each situation, answer the same four items above that you completed when observing others.
*If it is easier for you to record this all in a table, you can do so     
PART 2 (ANALYSIS OF DATA COLLECTED):
I want you to think about the data that you collected and write a reflection (at least 250 words) that connects to some of the content you read this week in your textbook about perceiving others (chapter 5). For instance, you might consider answering some of the following questions:
Were there differences in the types of attributions you made for yourself vs. others? How about others that you know vs. strangers? Why?
When is it easier to make a personal attribution? Situational attribution?
Explain what biases occurred (or could occur) when you make attributions (i.e., fundamental attribution error, actor-observer bias, trait ascription bias, self-serving bias). Why did they occur?
Did the covariation principle explain the type of attribution that you made about any of your targets? Describe the type of information that you used (i.e., consistency, distinctiveness, consensus).
Was there any specific nonverbal behavior(s) that you relied on more heavily when making a particular attribution?
If you were to have engaged in the same behaviors as your targets, would any of your attributions be different? Explain.
