PSY 570 Final Project Milestone Three Guidelines and Rubric Overview: In order to understand how your case study presents an ethical conflict, you will need to understand the dominant ethical code. Professionals in the field of psychology refer to the APA Code of Ethics to guide their decision making in their work environments. The American Psychological Association website provides the APA Code of Ethics, which is used in psychology. Prompt: In Milestone Three, you will apply the APA Code of Ethics to your chosen case study vignette and expand the outline of your final case study analysis paper you began in Milestone Two. You will list and define each principle and standard in an organized fashion as well as emphasize which principle and standard could be in question in your case study vignette. You will then make a statement discussing 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. You may also choose to create a hypothetical cultural or social consideration (e.g., What if a language barrier were present in your case study vignette?) for your case if you do not think it has one. You will expand upon this in Milestone Four. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed within the final project outline template:
1. APA Code of Ethics: Principles: List and define all principles in an organized fashion. Identify which principles might apply to your chosen case’s ethical conflict.
2. APA Code of Ethics: Standards: List and define all standards in an organized fashion. Identify which standards might apply to your chosen case’s ethical conflict.
3. Statement of Culture and Social Orientations in the Case Study: Identify and explain the cultural and social considerations in your chosen case. If the case does not have one, create a hypothetical cultural or social consideration.
Guidelines for Submission: Your paper must be submitted as a 2- to 3-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and any referenced sources cited in APA format.
