Students will submit a 6-8-page Qualitative Research Proposal based on the following criteria:
1) Introduction; 2) research problem; 3) research question; 4) assumptions, limitations, scope, delimitations; 5) significance of the study; 6) theoretical framework; 7) key concepts; 8) brief literature review; 9) research method; 10) sample size and type; 11) data collection procedures; 12) data analysis, 13) ethical consideration; 14) references, appendices, citations; and 15) style and format.
Note that this proposal is a future oriented paper and the language must reflect this. The literature review will consist of a minimum of 5- 8 peer reviewed sources from the past 5 years. APA formatting and citations are mandatory as the failure to cite sources appropriately constitutes plagiarism.
I am only requesting a maximum of 4 pages as this is a group assignment and I am only responsible for the headings outlined in the attached document. Furthermore, an introduction or conclusion is not necessary for this assignment as my group members and I will be writing that together.

Reflect on a time when your understanding of yourself changed? 
How did you know your self-
concept had changed? What occurred that brought about the change? 
What does this teach
you about self-concept in general?

It is important for you to able to analyze a correlational study and explain how it differs from a cause-and-effect outcome.
Using the same scenario you used in Part I and II of this project, you will now present your findings to your company or clinic staff, including CEOs (think about your audience).
Part A:
Provide a response to the following prompts.
Imagine your research team has been tasked with finding the correlation of 2 variables from your scenario. The data below includes 4 research participants’ data for variable 1 (high scores mean better of variable 1) and data for variable 2 (high scores mean more of the variable). The scores are as follows:
Person
Variable 1
Variable 2
1
1
10
2
1
8
3
2
4
4
4
-2
Describe the process your research team would go through by completing the following:
Create a scatter diagram of the scores.
Describe in words the general pattern of correlation, if any.
Figure the correlation coefficient.
Explain the logic of what you have done, writing as if you are speaking to someone who has never heard of correlation (but who does understand the mean, standard deviation, Z scores, and hypothesis testing).
Provide 3 logically possible directions of causality, indicating for each direction whether it is a reasonable explanation for the correlation based on the variables involved. Explain your answer.
Part B:
Assume your research is complete and you have written your research article. Now it’s time to make a public presentation for your company/clinic.
Consider your audience and the language you will need to use to make this presentation clear for all participants.
Create a 10- to 12-slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation (cover slides and references do not count in this number) using the information you gathered and submitted in Parts I and II.
Include the following in your presentation:
Describe the problem and provide some brief background information about the situation.
Explain the research hypothesis.
Describe your sample and your sampling method.
Explain the 4 steps of the research process you followed.
Define the critical value and the test statistic your analysis provided.
Include your scatterplot and correlation findings from Part A.
Provide the main finding of the study. What did you prove or fail to prove?
Provide recommendations based on your findings.
Each slide must have 4 to 5 bullet points with 4 to 5 words for each point plus speaker notes. The bulk of your explanation will go in the speaker notes. This is where you will write and put what you would say when giving this presentation to your audience. This is an academic presentation; therefore, keep the bells and whistles to a minimum and make this a clean, professional-looking presentation. It is a visual presentation, so tasteful and related images are appropriate.
Format any citations in your presentation according to APA guidelines. Also, if photos are used, they need to be referenced according to APA guidelines.

Identify the Ethical Dilemma: Before a counselor can consider how state laws, statutes, or district policies may influence an approach, the counselor must first identify the issue and consider any relevant ethical concerns.
Describe all ethical dilemma(s) presented in the case.
Identify unavailable facts relative to the ethical dilemma(s).
State Laws and Regulations: Earlier in this course, you identified the state laws and regulations relating to the practice of counseling for your specialization.
Describe at least two state legal standards that help guide counselors to establish ethical relationships with clients or students through two specific requirements (for example, informed consent, managing boundaries, payment for services).
Include any additional state statutes or local district policies that guide counselors (you may include a link to the statutes or policies).
Reflect on the impact state laws have on the counseling relationship.
Diverse Populations: Ethical issues are an integral part of counseling diverse clients, as counselors must uphold ethical standards while being sensitive to cultural and individual differences. Here are some ethical issues that may arise when counseling diverse clients: Cultural competence, informed consent, confidentiality, dual relationships, boundaries, values, beliefs, and multicultural competence.
Describe the ethical responsibilities when counseling diverse populations.
For example, in the sessions the client discloses personal beliefs that are opposed to the personal beliefs and/or values you hold. Ethical counselors will recognize the need for additional supervision to ensure that they are not trying to push personal values and beliefs onto their clients.
Explain how ethical responsibilities affect the counseling relationship in a way that is well supported by the literature.
Ethical Codes and Standards: The purpose of ethical codes is to uphold the integrity of the counseling profession, advance the welfare of clients, and direct ethical decision-making in our practice.
Describe three specific ethical codes/standards that would guide you in managing the relationship in the ethical dilemma.
Explain how these codes/standards could be applied to mitigate the ethical dilemma.
Interdisciplinary Team: You want to consider the role that interdisciplinary teams may play in counseling relationships. The term “interdisciplinary team” is used to represent any internal/external stakeholders, educational system, legal system, or emergency management teams.
Articulate strategies for interfacing ethically with the interdisciplinary team involved in a case.
Explain the impact this interaction might have on the counseling relationship.

As I sit down to write this post, I find this discussion topic to be rather difficult. It truly forces one to be introspective, something that I realize I do not do very often. Initially, what came to mind is that I am a woman and a wife. However, this saddened me because I am much more than just my gender and marital status. Having lived through the traumatic experience of having an alcoholic father, it truly shaped me into the person I am today. Knowing I did not want a life like his, I worked hard to become a Dental Hygienist and am now finishing my degree at the University of Guelph. Although growing up in this household was difficult, it allowed me to develop the self-concept traits of being hardworking, patient, and adaptable.
Some positive self-illusions I often demonstrate are the self-serving beliefs of unrealistic optimism and perceived control. Unsurprisingly, negative experiences were frequent in my childhood, and I lived through them. I often find myself believing that things aren’t really as bad as they could be, and because I lived through such negative experiences, only positive experiences are more likely to occur now. Similarly, growing up in a household of unpredictability caused me to create a need for control. I often find myself believing I can control the uncontrollable and create a predictable outcome.
I grew up in a Polish household, and perhaps as a child, I would define myself as being Polish and embracing the traditions that come with the heritage. But now that I am older, and my parents are deceased, I am no longer surrounded by much Polish culture. Instead, I would say that my values are influenced by Canadian culture, and thus, I have a more independent self-construal when it comes to my cultural influences.

Family information
Father side
Grandma ( Bennie)+ Grandpa ( Robus) my dad stepfather.
My dad Albert. My dad was the youngest boy. He had seven oldest siblings and one youngest sister. My dad was mainly raised by my grandma who was at home( they lived in a farm alone with my grandpa my dad’s stepdad. They moved to the city when my dad was and adolescent, there he met my mom. My dad relationship with my grandma was good she was very sweet and nurturing. He never got to know or share with his biological dad even they live in the same town (his father had another family). My dad respected and loved his mom and step dad very much. He was very close to his youngest siblings but not so much with his older siblings as they moved far away and started their own family.
Mother family of origin
Grandma Isabel was a single mom of eight children my mom was the youngest girl with five older siblings and two youngest brothers. My mom was mainly raised by her grandma as well as the others oldest ones. My youngest uncles were mainly raised by my grandma.
There was a feeling of resentment between siblings seeing the youngest boys got to be with with their mom my grandma while the others had to stay with my grandma’s mom at their house always working and cleaning and helping with different chores there. While my youngest uncles were more spoiled. They grew up being the favorite ones.
My mom did not have any relationship with her dad even she knew where he was and he did not try to get close to her as well.
My mom did not have a strong bond with my grandma even though they ended up living together when my sister and I were born. My parents had my sister and I and then they split soon after I was born. I don’t have memories of my mom and my dad being together. My dad has started a new family with hope a very good lady when he had three daughters with. They split many years later after one of my sisters died. She was 21 years old when she passed. My mom so started a new family and she had three children. I stayed with my grandma and my oldest sister. A few years later my stepfather left my mom when my youngest brother was only nine years old he’s now 23. My mom went back to live with grandma my sister and I bringing her youngest children with her.
I was raised up mostly by my grandma and my oldest sister. My mom had to work now 40 years stay with her new family. My dad did the same as well. They always check on me and my sister. My dad wood help very little with some money to pay our school fee but was no emotionally invested Which led to a very weak relationship.
My relationship with my oldest sister have been always great and we have always support each other and have sort of like alliance together since our parents left us. My relationship with my sister Daisy the oldest half sister was amazing I love her very much until she passed in an accident. My relationship with mother have sister was always difficult and she did not like me much as I come to visit my dad and to get financial support for groceries and school supplies she did not like that and was always and unkind. She got better as with you as we have always lived in different cities and now different countries have been very difficult to create a bond. I have sure very little with my youngest sister as she was born many more years after.
I can tell that I don’t have a strong emotional bond with neither my mom or my dad but with my dad is sadly almost nonexistent. However I honored, financially support and highly respect my parents. I think that we all had shared this symptom of emotional cutoff with our dads- my mom, my dad, and now me for the different life situations we have gone through.
However growing up in this broken family system I found unity and sort of like a triangle situation with my oldest sister and grandma and was able to thrive and become a hardworking responsible honest and sweet young lady who could differentiate herself from the negativity surrounded with her own personality thoughts and resilience.
After my mom moved back with us bringing with her three children my sister and I had to work extra hard not just to support ourselves and our grandma but to help my mom and our younger siblings. There was 2 triangles my granny my sister and I and my mom with my youngest siblings in our new family structure. After my granny passed away I moved to the United states. Here I met my husband. He comes from a totally different family system where unity support understanding was the core of the structure. Now my family is integrated by my husband my daughter and I. In our family I am a very sweet nurturing mom and wife. My husband is very sweet and protective. He is also very supportive and and is always there for me and for our family. We have a good relationship and are now going through this new stage of our life of being parent of her sweet girl.
Esperance of working on this assignment had made reflect on how from developing the same unhealthy pattern like emotional cutoff can of be a part of coping with challenging family structures and try to now incorporate all the knowledge of these concepts into my current family and the understanding of family therapy.
Discussing these concepts with my parents was really emotional as they reflect on how things were and how different they could have been with more empathy and love.

part 1
Please respond to the following:
Provide a discussion that compares and contrasts the differences between single case research designs (SCRD) and group research designs used to investigate the effectiveness of interventions (e.g., studying a problem in an applied setting).
Make sure to include a detailed description of the characteristics of SCRD, including the considerations regarding internal and external validity.
Explain the primary purpose of a comparative, component, and parametric analysis, and provide an original example of how each might be used as part of a single case research design and incorporated purposefully into a practical intervention plan.
part 2
Understanding the “when” and “why” of a research design is an important part of organizing and reporting intervention results. Now that you have gained some insight into some common designs used in research and practice, it is time to put that knowledge to work.
Please respond to the following:
Explain the guidelines for utilizing a Withdrawal and Changing Criterion design.
Provide a short discussion on the internal and external validity issues as well as an overview of the advantages and disadvantages of each design.
Identify a hypothetical target behavior (dependent variable) for change and a possible intervention (independent variable) that you would use with either the withdrawal or changing criterion design.
Operationally define the target behavior in observable and measurable terms and provide a rationale to justify the use of your chosen design for the target behavior and intervention that you have identified.

Please write a three to four page paper (roughly six to seven paragraphs) using one of the following fictional characters:  Killmonger (Black Panther), Harry Potter, Wanda Maximoff (Wanda Vison), Jason Bourne (Bourne Trilogy), Nullah (from the movie Australia 2008), Sarah Conner (Terminator), Ripley (Aliens), Katniss Everdeen (The Hunger Games), any of the characters from the television show Reservation Dogs, Abuela Alma (Encanto), or Celie (The Color Purple).  If you have another character you would like to base your paper on please send me an email (so I can familiarize myself with the character beforehand.)
The paper should include one to two paragraphs describing what type of trauma this individual experienced (i.e., community violence, historical trauma, generational trauma, childhood abuse, war, etc.), what symptoms of trauma you see that this character is experiencing.  The symptoms should be specifically described, (ex:  cognitive distortions, flashbacks, nightmares, difficulty regulating emotions, etc.)  Include specific examples from the films supporting your conclusions.
Secondly, imagine this individual accessing support at a community behavioral health agency where you work. Incorporating the components of each of the six concepts of Trauma-Informed Care, how would you engage in providing services to this individual.  Provide specific examples of the concepts and how you would apply them. For example when discussing the concept of safety, including how to ensure physical and psychological safety.  These concepts should be tailored to the specific character you choose to write about, these needs may be different for different individuals and their specific trauma history.  Aim to write one paragraph per each of the six Trauma-Informed Care Concepts.
