The Ethical and Social Implications of Testing Provide an overview and brief evaluation of the ethical and social implications of psychological assessment.

Professional Responsibilities Describe the responsibilities of both test publishers and test users.

Testing Individuals Representing Cultural and Linguistic Diversity Analyze and describe issues related to the testing of cultural and linguistic minorities.

Reliability Explain the common sources of measurement error and how measurement error can impact reliability.

Validity   Create a diagram or figure to compare the types of validity discussed in the textbook. Describe the extravalidity concerns related to testing. Review the articles by Fergus (2013), Kosson, et al. (2013) and  Mathieu, Hare, Jones, Babiak, & Neumann (2013). Analyze the  information presented in these articles on factor analysis and describe  how it is used to validate the constructs of the instruments.

Clinical Versus Statistical Prediction Compare clinical and statistical prediction of mental health  decisions based on the work of Ægisdóttir, et al. (2006) and Grove &  Lloyd (2006).

Elaborate on each of Youngstrom’s recommendations by providing  practical examples that illustrate the relevance of the recommendations  in a clinical setting.

Application Three: Selecting Valid Instruments Create a research hypothesis or brief clinical case scenario in  which you must select an instrument to measure intolerance for  uncertainty. Use the information in the Fergus (2013) article to support which measure to use.

Submit a 2- to 3-page paper. Describe the impact of discrimination on individuals of multiracial backgrounds. Describe the impact of biracial/multiracial or multiethnic distinction on our society. Justify your response. How do these distinctions relate to social work practice with individuals, families, groups, and communities? Be sure to use APA formatting and references from the Learning Resources and two additional peer-reviewed resources from the Walden library about the discrimination against biracial and multiracial individuals.

Attribution Theory and Performance

Prior to beginning this assignment, be sure to read Chapter 4: Cognition, Learning, and the Environment, and read the article “Extending Attribution Theory: Considering Students’ Perceived Control of the Attribution Process”, the Instructor Guidance, and view the following website The Critical Thinking Community (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. (http://www.criticalthinking.org/).

For this written assignment, you will demonstrate your understanding of attribution theory. In essence, attribution theory states that individuals tend to make sense of (logically prescribe) situations by associating them to self, others, thoughts, feelings, or actions. This theory suggests that learners should consider why they do what they do, and what or who they are giving credit for both the victories and the failures. Further, this theory suggests that if a person believes that they are not good at something, they may attribute their unsuccessful outcomes to external factors, rather than to themselves. In contrast, if individuals have success, they more often may attribute their successes to internal factors.

Using your required resources to support, discuss the following: Describe a time where you feel you have failed and blamed someone else: the teacher, the friend, a loved one. (Failure could be academic, relational, and/or organizational – loss of a job.) Do you believe that you blamed external things to support a more stable version of your own self-image? (In other words, it could not be your mistake). If not, what other reasons might external variables be attributed for our own performance? How do think stability and controllability affect performance attributions, based on our reading this week? Why do you think that self-efficacy plays such a critical role in how we process our learning behaviors? What strategies could be applied to utilize what we know about self-perception and attributions to increase your learning performance in the future? (Minimum of two strategies.)

Suggested template.

The Attribution Theory paper Must be five to six double-spaced pages in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. Must include a separate title page with the following: Title of paper Student’s name Course name and number Instructor’s name Date submitted Must use headings and sub-headings. See example. (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. Must use appropriate research methods (e.g. use of the Ashford library) and skeptical inquiry (http://www.criticalthinking.org/) to support the content inclusions. Must begin with an introductory paragraph that has a succinct thesis statement. Visit the Ashford writing Center to clarify how to create a strong thesis statement and what it helps you to accomplish. You may also use the Thesis Generator (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. Must address the topic of the paper with critical thought. For assistance with the critical thinking portion of the written assignment, please see the information included on the Critical Thinking Community website (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. Must end with a conclusion that reaffirms your thesis. The conclusion typically has two parts: the summary statement (one or two sentences that restate the thesis in a fresh way to reinforce the essay’s main idea) and the clincher (a final thought that creates a lasting impression for the reader).
