The Final Project for this course is the creation of a case study analysis. Review the Final Project Guidelines and Rubric document (attached), paying particular attention to the Prompt section (which is a detailed list of requirements for your final project), as well as the Milestone section (which provides an overview of each of the milestones in this course). Although the milestones support your successful completion of the final project, note that these assignments are not full drafts of the elements in the final project prompt, so although you will be working on different skills and aspects of your final project during the term, you will need to complete all elements of your case study analysis for submission in Module 9.To begin your work on this project, select a case study vignette for your final project from the Case Study Vignette document in the Reading and Resources folder. (I have selected a case study, 14-13, and attached it for you to read)Identify the title of your chosen case study vignette in your discussion post title. Explain why you chose this particular case study vignette, and identify the central ethical conflict evident in the case study. To complete this assignment, review the Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric document. (attached)

PSY-570 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of a case study analysis. The final product represents an authentic
demonstration of competency. This competency is shown by the development of specific skill sets including: case study
identification, understanding ethical conflict in a psychology-related work settings, increased knowledge in the origin and
rationale for ethics orientation in the psychology profession, specific knowledge of the core ethical principles that govern
professional behavior, an overview of specific standards as they apply to sub-specialties in psychology, a practical model
for ethical decision making, and consideration of alternative decision-making models. The project is divided into four
milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Two, Three, Five, and Seven. The final product will be
submitted in Module Nine.
By understanding the ethical principles of the psychology profession, you will learn how to inform your decision making
when it comes to protecting and serving the populations we serve. It is also important that the contemporary
psychologist be able to address issues that are unique to our time. Some of these challenges ask us to reconsider ethical
frameworks and to be more precise in the language we use to define ethical decision making. This course allows you to
explore and apply important ethical concepts to potential situations. These skills are essential for proper behavior in the
psychology profession.
This assessment addresses the following course outcomes:
Assess the impact of the current and emerging ethical codes on the practice of psychology for their influence in
developing ethical decision-making strategies
Assess the influence of culture and social orientations on the development and practice of ethical standards of
conduct for consideration when developing ethical strategies
Distinguish between ethically supported and ethically unsupported strategies for resolving ethical dilemmas in
practice
Develop strategies for incorporating empathy for diverse perspectives into ethically responsible practices
Develop strategies for evaluating and resolving ethical dilemmas that integrate ethical decision-making models
Prompt
The summative assignment for this course is a case study analysis. The case study is one way for you to showcase the skill
sets you have learned in this course coupled with your area of professional interest. You will choose a case study from a
pre-determined list. You should choose a case study that is relevant to your concentration and/or a particular career field
in which you are interested in working. You will utilize codes of ethics pertinent to your chosen area of interest in
psychology to approach this case study analysis. You will develop an ethical strategy for addressing the ethical issues
present in your case study and analyze your strategy for how it relates to important ethical concepts in psychology. Your
case study choice, including the ethical conflict in the case study will be submitted once for peer and instructor review,
and then be resubmitted as a developing case study analysis in Modules Three, Five and Seven following feedback that
incorporates suggestions.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I.
Introduction: For this part of the assessment, begin your case study analysis by examining the many factors that
influence codes of ethics in psychology.
A. Summarize the chosen case study. Be sure to include the important people and key interactions in the
case study. This will be used later in your analysis.
B. Assess culture and social orientation and their influence on ethical behavior and the existing codes of
conduct. Be sure to provide examples to support your claims.
C. Assess how interactions between the important roles (client, psychologist, researcher, participant, etc.)
in psychology are influenced by culture and social orientation and how that influence informs ethical
conduct in psychology.
D. When making ethical decisions in your chosen area of concentration, how would you go about deciding
whether or not an ethical strategy is supported or unsupported? In other words, what criteria should
professionals in your selected concentration or area of interest use to determine which opinions on
ethics to consider in shaping their response to the particular situation?
E. How do contemporary problems impact the need for reconsidering supported opinions on ethics in your
concentration or chosen area of interest in psychology? Be sure to provide examples to support your
claims.
II.
III.
Ethical Analysis: For this part of the assessment, use the Eight Step Ethical Decision Making Model to show how
you would resolve the conflicts or ethical issues in your case study.
A. Describe the ethical issues in your chosen ethical scenario and relate the issues to the important people
identified previously. You might consider the following: What are the questions you wish to answer and
the ethical issue that must be addressed?
B. Develop an ethical strategy using an Eight Step analysis to address the ethical issues and which could be
applied to the chosen scenario. Be sure to explain how your ethical strategy follows supported ethical
guidelines. You might consider the following: What series of steps would you take to address the issue?
What ethical principles and standards inform this strategy?
C. Assess how your strategy differs with an opposing ethical strategy that could be used to address this
situation and justify why your strategy would be more preferable. Be sure to explain whether or not the
opposing strategy follows supported ethical guidelines. You might consider the following: What other
principles or standards could be implemented? What counter arguments may arise in response to your
strategy? How would you answer them?
D. Assess your strategy for how it addresses ethical problems associated with multiple-role relationship
issues. You might consider the following: Does your strategy consider the appropriateness of the
different relationships psychologists can have with clients?
E. Assess your strategy for how it addresses ethical problems associated with multicultural competence
issues. You might consider the following: Does your strategy consider issues of diversity and culture with
regard to your chosen ethical issue?
F. Assess your strategy for your chosen ethical scenario for how it aligns with current and emerging ethical
codes in your chosen area of interest on the practice of psychology in your concentration or area of
interest. You might consider the following: How does your strategy follow more modern opinions on
ethics? How does your strategy reflect that ethics in psychology is not stagnant?
Conclusion: For this part of the assessment, develop a conclusion explaining the different influences on your
own strategy. Be sure to incorporate peer and instructor feedback you have received in order to properly reflect
on your strategy.
A. Explain the influence of culture and social orientation on the development of your ethical strategy. You
might consider the following: What cultural implications did you feel you had to consider when
developing your strategy?
B. Explain the influence of diversity and equality on the development of your ethical strategy. You might
consider the following: What issues of diversity and equality were in the ethical scenario, and how were
they addressed? How did this influence your thought process and decisions while developing your
ethical strategy?
C. Explain how controversial issues in ethics have shaped emerging ideas in ethics. Be sure to provide your
thoughts on this and how the development of your strategy was or was not influenced by controversial
issues. You might consider the following: Did you follow a strictly traditional model, or did you use a
more modern approach? How did this influence your thought process and decisions while developing
your ethical strategy?
D. Explain how your strategy could be changed to further address issues of multiple-role relationships and
justify your claims. In what ways does your strategy lack in its consideration of multiple-role
relationships?
E. Explain how your strategy could be changed to further address issues of multicultural competence and
justify your claims. In what ways does your strategy lack in its consideration of multicultural
competence?
F. Develop a conclusion summarizing your ethical strategy and how you believe it could be implemented to
solve the chosen ethical scenario.
Milestones
Milestone One: Case Study Selection
In Module Two, you will read through the set of case studies from our course text, Ethics in Psychology and the Mental Health Professions: Standards and Cases,
and select a case study in your area of interest to analyze for your final project, the Case Study Analysis. The case studies, divided according to specialties (Child
and Adolescent Development, Industrial Organizational, and Forensics), are found as an attachment in Module Two Resources. In the Case Study Selection
journal, identify your selected case study, describe your interest in the case, and discuss what you hope to learn from completing the final project. This milestone
will be graded with the Milestone One Rubric.
Milestone Two: Case Study Analysis Outline
Milestone Two is your opportunity to produce an outline of your final case study analysis. In Module Three, you will identify the ethical conflict in the study. Note
if there is one or more than one conflict. Clearly express what the conflict is. Form the basics of an outline for the entire paper. You don’t need to fill in all the
required areas at this time, but you do need a working outline of your final project. You will return to this outline throughout this course and continue to fill in
the blanks. Typically the outline will include the following:

Summary and Conclusion
You are required to address at least the first Four Elements (title page, case study abstract, the detailed case study description, and the ethical conflict) for
Milestone One. This milestone will be graded with the Milestone Two Rubric.
Milestone Three: Applying the APA Code of Ethics Five Principles and Exploring Ethical Standards
In Module Five, you will apply the APA Code of Ethics to your case study. In order to understand how your ethical conflict in your case study is in conflict with
ethics you will need to understand the ethical code. We use the APA Code for the psychology professions. In your text you will find several ethical codes used in
psychology detailed in the back of the book. The APA Code elements are found within all of the other codes of conduct.
For your Milestone Two paper you will go back to your outline and now explain the five general guiding ethical principles found within the APA Code of Ethics. List
them and explain them in an organized fashion. Then explain which principles are at question in your case study. Next note the specific standards along with their
numerical codes that apply to your case study conflict. All of the standards are found in the APA Code of Ethics in the textbook at the end or by using the class
resource PDF, APA Code of Ethics. Lastly, make a statement about the cultural and social considerations in your case. All cases have considerations of this kind,
but they may be less obvious in some case studies. This milestone will be graded with the Milestone Three Rubric.
Milestone Four: The Ethical Decision-Making Process, Alternative Considerations, Diversity Issues, Dual Relationships, and Multiple-role Relationships.
In Module Seven, you will return to your outline once again. Your goal with this milestone is to list the eight-step ethical decision-making model, to provide an
alternative or opposing model of decision-making that you discuss, and to put your case study conflict through the decision-making eight-step model. Be
comprehensive about your decision-making. Address whether or not dual relationships or multiple-role relationships were present in your case study. If they are
present please detail their importance in problem-solving a dilemma. If they are not present provide a statement that shows you understand what these
standards are and their importance in all psychology disciplines. Provide a paragraph that details how you considered diversity issues, social concerns, multicultural considerations, and equality in your problem solving of an ethics dilemma. This milestone will be graded with the Milestone Three Rubric.
Final Submission: Case Study Analysis
In Module Nine you will submit your final project. It should be a complete, polished artifact containing all of the critical elements of the final product. It should
reflect the incorporation of feedback gained throughout the course. This submission will be graded with the Final Product Rubric.
