Overview
The creation of intervention plans is the substance of workplace activities designed to enhance individual performance. It is important that you have the opportunity to develop skills in creating intervention plans. To determine whether the intervention was effective and how it can be improved, you must know how to complete the research process in real-world practice. You will also need to enact psychological theories of effective leadership to manage the stakeholders and participants in the intervention.
All of these practices are governed by professional guidelines and ethical behaviors that are common to and expected in the performance psychology field and of which you need to be aware to create and implement intervention plans. In this assignment, you will discuss the psychological theories of leadership and their applications to the stakeholders and participants involved in the “PSY-839 Case Study,” and you will propose a theoretically sound and ethical intervention plan for the case study that has been provided. You will also identify the specific assessment tool(s) and process you will enact following the intervention to determine whether the intervention was effective and how it can be improved. Finally, you will describe the expected resolution to the case given the intervention you implemented.
General Requirements:
Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:
- Refer to “PSY-839 Case Study.”
- Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments. The APA Style Guide is located in the Student Success Center.
- Refer to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association for specific guidelines related to doctoral-level writing. The manual contains essential information on manuscript structure and content, clear and concise writing, and academic grammar and usage.
- This assignment requires that at least two additional scholarly research sources related to this topic, and at least one in-text citation from each source be included.
- You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. A link to the LopesWrite technical support articles is located in Class Resources if you need assistance.
Directions:
Write an essay (2,250-2,500 words) in which you propose a plan for the case study provided. Your plan should include the following:
- A research-supported description of the psychological theories that must be applied for effective leadership of the stakeholders and other important participants in the case. (Benchmarks C6.4: Apply psychological theories to promote effective leadership.)
- A research-supported description of a theoretically sound and ethical application of behavior modification to enhance the performance of individuals in the case. (Benchmarks C6.3: Apply principles of behavior modification to enhance individual performance.)
- A research-supported description of the constructs and theories of psychomotor skill and motor control that will be applied in the intervention to improve learning and performance. (Benchmarks C6.2: Analyze constructs and theories of psychomotor skill and motor control to improve learning and performance.)
- A research-supported description of the expected resolution to the case that demonstrates potential applications of psychological theories and principles underlying performance and is based on your theoretical perspective, the intervention you implemented, and your assessment of the intervention. (Benchmarks C6.5: Propose applications of psychological theories and principles underlying performance.)
- A research-supported description of the assessment tool(s) and process that will be used following the intervention to determine whether the intervention was effective and how it can be improved.
