Create a workplace poster focused on encouraging forensic psychologists to follow ethical practices for specific types of cases.
Backstory/Context: Have you ever seen one of the workplace posters dedicated to warning employees to follow the rules or ethics? Outside of providing a cheap way to decorate, these posters provide a lot of information in a condensed format. Valuable skills to develop include communicating succinctly, using visual elements to support points, and arranging information to make it easier to understand. In this last assessment, you will design a workplace poster focused on a particular type of criminal case and ethical considerations.
Step 1: Use this type of case to focus on:
- Sexual offenses.
Step 2: Use the ethical consideration to focus on:
- Principle A: Beneficence and Nonmaleficence.
NOTE: You can read the details of these in the APA Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct in the Psychology Ethics
Step 3: Find two peer-reviewed journal articles
Design a visually-appealing workplace poster (in Microsoft Word or PowerPoint) that includes the following elements:
- Explanation of the behaviors represented in your selected type of case from a biological, learning, or situational perspective.
- Description of the ethical consideration you selected from the list above and how it fits with your type of case.
- Examples of unethical conduct by forensic psychologists.
- Examples of penalties for unethical conduct.
- Include in-text citations within the sections above as well as references at the bottom of the poster. (You may use a smaller font for the reference list.)
- TIP: Remember this is a poster to hang up in a workplace. Be as clear as possible in a brief amount of space, and draw in the eye with strategic uses of color, font, section placement, or visuals.
Your poster should meet the following requirements:
- Written communication: Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.
- APA formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to the APA style and formatting standards.
- References: At least three scholarly references—the APA Ethical Principals of Psychologists and Code of Conduct and at least two peer-reviewed journal articles.
- Length of paper: 1 page of content.
