Discussion 2: Dual-Role Relationships

Consider this scenario:

You receive a hotline call at your mental health agency from a client requesting a same-day appointment. You are the only social worker available to work with clients at the time, as your coworker is out of town on vacation for 10 days. A 15-year-old boy struggling with depression (no suicidal ideation) and addiction calls asking for help. While you are gathering information over the phone, you realize that he happens to be the son of a friend. Do you continue the process, planning on providing him with services, or do you refer him to another mental health clinic that is over 30 miles away? Do you make him wait until your coworker returns? Do you contact his parents and tell them he called?

In certain geographical areas there may be limited resources and in turn a lack of opportunities for clients to obtain assistance. In some rural or otherwise isolated areas there might be situations that make it difficult to maintain ideal boundaries due to dual-role relationships. Dual-role relationships exist when a professional fills multiple roles at the same time, a situation that may be unavoidable in certain circumstances.

Understanding the significant impact of a dual-role relationship with a client is important in order to avoid harming the client. Further, recognizing the impact on the client and the relationship will assist in the creation of strong professional boundaries. In these situations, a social worker might feel his or her ability to maintain these boundaries is compromised or may even experience a value dilemma due to the existence of dual-role relationships.

Consider the importance of boundaries in a therapeutic relationship. Think about ways a social worker might violate the NASW Code of Ethics as it pertains to dual-role relationships. Is there ever a situation in which dual-role relationships are acceptable, or even preferable?

By Day 4

Post an explanation of how you might respond to the situation with the 15-year-old boy on the hotline. Include ways your decision may impact the client. Support your position with references to this week’s resources, professional experience, and additional research. How will you address a possible dual-role relationship?

Qualitative V. Quantitave Articles of Psychology

The discussion focuses on the comparison of the articles of the qualitative and the quantitative relationship of the article in the field of psychology. The key focus of the whole study is on the methodology of the research, the research questions, the hypothesis, and the general findings under the research. The study also focuses on the population sample comparison and the analysis used on both studies that are picked.

Possibility for generalization of survey findings to the larger population. The most important limitation of the survey could simply be the ability to generalize judgments to the sample within the actual study. Think, the highest purpose of quantitative research is generalizability. Therefore, both internal and external validity are crucial to give logical decisions and generalizations.

Today, the methodology aspect of this research program, in both quantitative and qualitative works, identifies the population, sampling process, too, as the distribution and its size. Moreover, this method outlines the tools and processes of this study. In qualitative works, the character of the investigator and subjects of trustworthiness are included. In both cases of works, the information analysis program is presented, as is the type of information to be gathered.

The research question for the quantitative study is a systematic review of the misconception in psychology in relation to the regression analysis. The research question of the qualitative analysis focused on the recommendations and opportunities for sports and exercise and application on psychology. The research methods of collection of data used in the study are the observation and the interviewing methods that can be used up in the data collection for the researches. The finding was that the data in the qualitative analysis was of correct and clearer understanding than the ones of the quantitative. The research shows that there is minimal use of the regression analysis in most of the studies. The study shows that many people also generalize on qualitative research compared to quantitative.

The population’s sample for the research was the books of psychology for the research question review on the misconception in psychology in relation to the regression analysis. The sample for the research question qualitative analysis focused on the recommendations and opportunities for the sports and exercise, and application on psychology is the books written in the country. The samples were chosen because the scale of the study of the population was wide.

On both research questions, the secondary data was used up to carry out the research. The information was easy to collect concerning the respective researches, and the primary data could have been more expensive and time-consuming. The method of analysis for the quantitative analysis article was the regression analysis. The analysis of the qualitative article was assessing the pattern of the reoccurrences to find the results for the research.Both important and secondary investigation gets their advantages and disadvantages. While important information is need-specific and level is also up to this sign, but it is costly and consumes more time. Alternate research, in contrast, is inexpensive, and that information collection is simple, but it is also likely that this information may be outdated and does not suit your requirements. Thus, before selecting any of these two, firstly analyze the qualifications, sources, prices, etc. to select the best research form for the work.

In conclusion, the articles show that qualitative analysis is theoretical as persons consider their opinions. The qualitative analysis, on the other hand, uses the numerical values to come up with a more definite answer to a study. The qualitative study gives a wider scope of the study with answers.

    1. Throw – if you cannot reach with your hand, toss things that float for the person to hold onto  

    1. Row – if in a boat use oars to move the boat close to the person in the water  

  1. Don’t Go– do not go into the water unless professionally trained and certified and have the necessary equipment to do so
Boating Guidelines
    1. Know your boat

    1. Always wear a Personal Flotation Device/Life Jacket

    1. Don’t stand while boat is moving

    1. Make sure there is an experienced adult operating the boat

    1. Don’t get on the boat if the operator has been drinking alcohol

    1. Let someone know where you are going and when you will return, and stick to that plan

  1. If floating a river, use a professional guide and raft
River Dangers
    1. A river is moving faster than it appears, strong currents and undertows can make it impossible to swim effectively, even in shallow water

    1. A river can have many hidden dangers beneath the surface that can trap or severely injure you. Some of these dangers include: cars, glass, trees, debris, sharp metal objects, barb wire, etc.

    1. Hypothermia: water dissipates heat away from the body 20 times faster than air, even in the summer time, extended exposure to the water can be dangerous.

    1. If caught in a current, float on your back traveling downstream feet first, angle your body towards shore (45 degree angle)

  1. Video Moving Water, Adventure or Danger?  
Floods
    1. Pay close attention to weather and news alerts

    1. Don’t try to drive across flooded roads, water can stall a vehicle and waters can rise extremely fast putting the driver and passengers at risk. Swift water can easily move a car.

    1. If in immediate danger of flood water, move to higher ground ASAP.

    1. Do not play in or drink flood water, flood water is contaminated with numerous health hazards

    1. If aware that a flood is coming, be prepared, have plenty of food, bottled water, radio, flashlights, batteries, and clothes

Now that you have read a little bit about water safety you will research basic water rescue.

Take a look at the websites below. You will be asked to describe basic water rescue in an assignment.

Include an evaluation of safety considerations, physical strength, movement etc. You may research other websites if you would like but please include an alternative sites.

response question 1

 

In an effort to disseminate information to a large, diverse population, I would consider the following options: (a) social media, and (b) print media. Bearing in mind that some individuals may not have internet access, alternate sources in information, such as print newspapers, must be considered. Given the distinct digital divide between gender, age, and cultural identity, certain groups of individuals are statistically more likely to use print media as a primary information source. For example, Eastin, Cicchirillo, and Mabry, (2015) found that Hispanic participants were more likely to use print media than other ethnic groups. Furthermore, with powder grid having failed, individuals may be more inclined to utilize public access internet. Dixon, et al. (2014) indicated a gender divide in the area of public access technology usage, stating that women were less likely to utilize public access technology due to a number of contributing factors, including anxiety and lack of technical knowledge. Therefore, even though some public access internet availability may exist, the ability to utilize this may be compromised across gender lines. Finally, older generations may benefit from print information more than younger generations do. Peral-Peral, Arenas-Gaitán, and Villarejo-Ramos, (2015) report that elderly individuals often feel a great deal of anxiety related to technology usage, and problems with power grids and internet access may intensify this anxiety, making it less likely that they will utilize internet information even if available. The use of print media can help to extend the reach of information to these groups who may not have or utilize internet access.

In addition, for those who do have and utilize internet access, using social media to convey information should have a broad reach. Research indicates that younger individuals, and to an extent, older individuals as well, prefer to use social media to gain access to information and talk to friends (Newitz, 2015; Reality Mine, 2015). Younger individuals are more likely to seek out information through internet access than print sources, and utilize social media to network on multiple levels, including social, recreational, educational, and professional (Fastin, et al., 2015; Newitz, 2015; Reality Mine, 2015). These individuals, being accustomed to extensive use of digital technology, may prefer to seek out digital information even when print information is more readily available. Thus, including social media representation in distribution of information could also extend the reach of said information across more gender, age, and cultural gaps.

Response to the Professor

Can you please help with the response I received from my prof and fellow student….on motivation homework you helped me.

 

Here is the response from my Prof ..to the motivation topic you helped with

Looking at Maslow’s hierarchy which has been discussed by many researchers, I found interesting sources suggesting that first, categorising “needs” in a hierarchy is somehow not right: needs are not hierarchical. Life is less organised than that. Needs are, like most other things in nature, an interactive, dynamic system, thus it is not possible to elaborate a definite hierarchy.) 

Second, his hierarchy might be missing something essential: the need of social connection and collaboration. Are any of the needs in Maslow’s hierarchy possible without those two factors? Without collaboration, survival might become difficult. Even back then, it was not possible to defeat a Woolley Mammoth, build a secure structure, or care for children while hunting without a team effort. Our reliance on each other grows as societies became more complex, interconnected, and specialized. Connection is a prerequisite for survival, physically and emotionally. 

 

 

The thought I walk away with is, models are great but what does this mean in practice? We know that our society has changed over the generations and the style and type of work being done but that is only one piece of the puzzle. What about people? It seems unlikely that one size fits all. Furnham et al (1999) discuss the link between motivation style and personality. Whilst they admit this study is limited one sentence that stood out, “The extravert is motivated to gain a promised reward; the introvert is motivated to avoid a threatened punishment.” This implies that in order for a leader or manager to be successful they need to understand the different motivation theories and apply appropriately

2. If I were to conduct ethnographic research about Grand Canyon University, I would narrow the research topic down to a social subculture within the school, such as the freshmen class that live in dorms.  Then I would create my research question that will have different methods for data collection to assure that the results are qualitative and as accurate as possible (Gordon, 2016).  After that I would submit an application to IRB for approval of the research.  Once approved, I would create an invitation that targets the freshmen population with a statement that describes the topic, purpose, process, and use of results (Gordon, 2016).  Ethically, I would gain a rapport with the participants and then immerse myself into their culture to gain more information about social interactions of freshman that live on Grand Canyon University campus.  Since I have not experienced dorm life, I will be objective with little biases, which should make reporting the results less challenging.  Along with interviews, to gain as much in depth physical sense of how they felt and view the world, I would eat, sleep, and participate in daily activities as they do. 

My planned research fits the definition of ethnographic research because it gains the participant’s trust while protecting them and it ethically gained permission from the appropriate parties.  Additionally, by conducting interviews and submerging myself into the subculture’s life on campus, I will get a hands-on experience and first hand answers to gain knowledge that will give a better understanding of their norms and values (Gordon, 2016).
