Social Psychology

Social Psychology

Select an organization, school, or social policy as the target for this analysis. Brief (3-4 page)
case study that summarizes the overall structure or goals of the target, outlines relevant social
theories or principles that currently inform the target, and provides research-based
recommendations for how the target can better incorporate social psychology into its philosophy
or action.
You MUST select a real and active target, rather than a hypothetical one. For instance, you could
use something like “FAU’s Department of Student Activities and Involvement”.

**MUST use at least 2 peer-reviewed sources in your paper**. Should also provide an overview
of whatever theory or principle you’re using to inform your recommendations. You should treat
the paper as a brief or synopsis that would be read by administrators at the target and as though
you’ve been hired by this target to complete the case study.
Here’s an outline (and examples) you should use while preparing your presentation:
1. Introduction to target – e.g., Department of Student Activities and Involvement seeks to help
students adjust to college life by encouraging involvement in campus activities, etc.
2. Theories/principles that currently inform the target – The Department uses social media
outreach to encourage participation in campus events. (You may not be able to find a social
psychology theory that informs their practice. If not, say so!)
3- Recommendations/techniques (should be informed by peer-reviewed research) – The
Department should consider social identity theory and how it can be employed to increase
student involvement. See sources A and B for more on how this has been investigated in
research or implemented by similar organizations
4. Summary of potential limitations or qualifications to the recommendations – This would require
the university to invest substantial resources in developing a unified campus identity and they
may not see this as a worthy investment.

Check-Up – Psychology homework help

Instructions

Henok is a 55-year-old male. He was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia but has lived in the American South for the last 30 years. He has had a successful life as an industrial engineer, and has made a very lucrative living. Henok got married when he was 45 years old and had twin boys when he was 47. He loves his wife and twin boys, but he is starting to feel restless and anxious and isn’t sure why. He signed up for a skydiving trip with his friends two weeks ago and loved it. Now he wants to buy a motorcycle. He has come to you because he is experiencing chest pains. His EKG is normal, and all his bloodwork is normal. Everything points to him being physically healthy.

Juvenile Justice Policy Paper

Juvenile Justice Policy Paper

Minimum Requirements of the Research Paper/Policy Report:

Your policy report must be between 10- to 15-pages (approximately 2,500 words and 3,500 words). Your policy report must also be double-spaced with 1.0-inch margins and using a 12-point Times New Roman font. I use turnitin to review for plagiarism, and your report should not have a similarity score at or higher than 25% (the reference page and direct quotes are not included in the similarity score that is generated by turnitin).

Overview of a Policy Report

Now, the overview: A policy report is a document that outlines the rationale for choosing a particular policy alternative or course of action in a current policy debate. It is commonly produced in response to a request directly from a decision-maker or within an organization that intends to advocate for the position detailed in the brief. Depending on the role of the writer or organization producing the document, the brief may only provide a targeted discussion of the current alternatives without arguing for a particular one (i.e. those who adopt the role of ‘objective’ researcher). On the other end of the scale, i.e. advocates, the brief may focus directly on providing an argument for the adoption of a particular alternative. Nevertheless for any case, as any policy debate is a market place of competing ideas, the purpose of the policy brief is to convince the target audience of the urgency of the current problem and the need to adopt the preferred alternative or course of action outlined and therefore, serve as an impetus for action.

The key to success is targeting the particular audience for your message. The most common audience for a policy brief is a decision-maker or policymaker, but it is also not unusual to use the document to support broader advocacy initiatives targeting a wide but knowledgeable audience (e.g. journalists, diplomats, administrators, researchers). In constructing a policy brief that can effectively serve its intended purpose, it is common for a brief to be:

Focused—all aspects of the policy brief (from the message to the layout) need to strategically focused on achieving the intended goal of convincing the target audience. For example, the argument provided must build on what they do know about the problem, provide insight about what they don’t know about the problem and be presented in language that reflects their values, i.e. using ideas, evidence and language that will convince them.
Professional, not just academic—The common audience for a policy brief is not interested in the research and analysis procedures conducted to produce the evidence, but are very interested to know what scholars know about the problem and potential solutions based on the best available evidence.
Evidence-based—The policy brief is a communication tool produced by policy analysts and therefore all potential audiences not only expect a rational argument but will only be convinced by argumentation supported by evidence that the problem exists and the consequences of adopting particular alternatives.
Limited—to provide an adequately comprehensive but targeted argument within a limited space, the focus of the brief needs to be limited to a particular problem or area of a problem.
Succinct—The type of audiences targeted commonly do not have the time or inclination to read an in-depth 30 page argument on a policy problem. Therefore, it is common that policy briefs do not exceed 9 to 12 pages in length (i.e. not longer than 2,500 words).
Understandable—This not only refers to using clear and simple language (i.e. not the jargon and concepts of an academic discipline) but also to providing a well-explained and easy to follow argument targeting a wide but knowledgeable audience.
Accessible—the writer of the policy brief should facilitate the ease of use of the document by the target audience and therefore, should subdivide the text using clear descriptive titles to guide the reader.
Practical and feasible—the policy brief is an action-oriented tool targeting policy practitioners. As such the brief must provide arguments based on what is actually happening in practice with a particular policy and propose recommendations that seem realistic to the target audience.

The Structural Elements of the Research Paper/Policy Report

Policy reports directly reflect the different roles that the policy analyst commonly plays, i.e. from researcher to advocate. The type of report that you are writing is one from the more action-oriented, advocacy end of the continuum (but that is nevertheless based purely on evidence and not your opinion). Although there is much variation even at this end of the scale, the most common elements of the policy brief are as follows:

Title of the Policy Report
Executive Summary
Context and Importance of the Problem (also called the ‘Introduction’)
Pre-Existing Policies, Policy Options, and Research
Conclusion
Policy Recommendations
Reference Page

The following is a description of each of the elements required in your policy report (and note that these should be subheadings in your policy report):

Title of the Policy Report—The title aims to catch the attention of the reader and compel him/her to read on and so needs to be descriptive, punchy, and relevant.
Executive Summary—The executive summary aims to convince the reader further that the brief is worth in-depth investigation. It is especially important for an audience that is short of time to clearly see the relevance and importance of the report in reading the summary. As such, a 1 to 2 paragraph executive summary commonly includes: A description of the problem addressed; a statement on why the current approach/policy option needs to be changed; and your recommendations for action.
Context and importance of the problem (i.e. Introduction)—The purpose of this element of the report is to convince the target audience that a current and urgent problem exists which requires them to take action. The context and importance of the problem is both the introductory and first building block of the brief. As such, it usually includes the following: A clear statement of the problem or issue in focus; a short overview of the root causes of the problem; and a clear statement of the policy implications of the problem which clearly establishes the current importance and policy relevance of the issue. It is worth noting that the length of the problem description may vary considerably from report to report depending on the stage on the policy process in focus, e.g. there may be a need to have a much more extensive problem description for policy at the evaluation stage than for one at the option choosing stage.
Pre-Existing Policies, Policy Options, and Research—The aim of this element is to detail shortcomings of the current approach or options being implemented and therefore, illustrate both the need for change and focus of where change needs to occur. It also should detail the evidence about what will likely work better (or not suffer from the shortcomings). In doing so, the critique of policy options usually includes the following: A short overview of the policy option(s) in focus and the evidence illustrating why and how the current approach is failing and why and how another option is not failing (and is hopefully ‘working’). It is also important for the sake of credibility to recognize all opinions in the debate of the issue.
Conclusion—you need to summarize briefly what the readers should take away from your research review.
Policy recommendations—The aim of the policy recommendations element is to provide a detailed and convincing proposal of how the failings of the current policy approach need to change. As such this is achieved by including: A breakdown of the specific practical steps or measures that need to be implemented. You may also include a closing paragraph reemphasizing the importance of action. The recommendations should follow the conclusion.
Reference Page—Since your policy report is research-driven and evidence-based, you should include a reference page that includes all the journal articles, book chapters, books, and reputable reports that you used to inform your policy report. You should have at least 8, but likely more. Also, you must have in-text cites throughout your policy brief report. Remember, this is not original research by you, thus you should have a copious amount of in-text cites. By way of example, here is a decent illustration of in-text citing:
