Description

Multicultural Case Study

Create a PowerPoint presentation of at least six slides that could be given in a professional context. The presentation will analyze a simulated case study of a multicultural conflict that could potentially occur within your psychology specialization.

Note: You are strongly encouraged to complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.

After analyzing one's multifaceted cultural identity and biases, the next step toward multicultural competency is to plan how you can use best practices to minimize the negative impact of these factors on professional relationships.

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:

  • Evaluate multicultural influences on ethics for psychologists.
    • Identify several points of cultural difference that could exist between self and a professional contact.
    • Analyze how best practices cited in scholarly research articles could help a cultural conflict.
  • Analyze multicultural issues in psychology and the importance of multicultural competency in the psychological professions.
    • Analyze how cultural differences could contribute to a conflict.
    • Describe one's past or present biases toward others of different cultures.
  • Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with expectations for members of the psychological professions.
    • Write clearly, with correct spelling, grammar, syntax, and good organization, following APA guidelines.
    • Convey information in a presentation format that is readable and well organized.
  • Multicultural competence is essential to be an equitable and effective psychologist; therefore, both working practitioners and learners require professional development in this area. The case study is an important tool for training in this area and many others.
  • A case study is an in-depth report and analysis of events, activities, or processes involving one or more individuals or a situation. Case studies are examined in academic contexts to prepare learners for the challenges they will face in professional practice. Working psychologists continue to confer with colleagues on case studies to improve their professional competencies. While actual case studies are based on factual reports, simulated (or fictional) case studies, or vignettes, are often used to illustrate situations that could occur in practice and evaluate potential courses of action. A PowerPoint presentation can be an effective means of sharing case study details and lessons learned in a professional context.

Preparation

  • Imagine a simulated (or fictional) case study, concerning a cultural conflict between yourself, working in your area of specialization, and some person or persons, agency, or institution. Several points of cultural difference must exist between you and the others involved in this conflict. While your case will be fictional, it must be entirely believable and realistic.
  • Download and use the Multicultural Case Study Template, linked in Required Resources. Do not submit a paper for this assessment. Papers will not be graded. You will complete this assessment by replacing all language that is enclosed with brackets […] in the PowerPoint with your own words.
    • For guidance on PowerPoint design, you may read "PowerPoint Presentation Design Suggestions" and view Guidelines for Effective PowerPoint Presentations, linked in Suggested Resources.
    • For guidance in the basics of using PowerPoint, you may refer to the basic tasks in PowerPoint guides, linked in Suggested Resources. If after reviewing this material you need more help using PowerPoint, contact your FlexPath coach.

The Presentation

  • Title slide: On the first slide of the PowerPoint:
  • Case Study Overview slide: Provide the briefest possible narrative description of the case. Additional supporting details and references can be added in the notes section on the slide. The overview should include:
    • The professional setting of the case, based on your psychology specialization (for example, in treatment, in the classroom, in a hospital, jail, or a community-based setting).
    • The relationship that exists between you and the other persons involved. Some possible examples may be:
      • Professor—Student.
      • Therapist—Patient.
      • Colleagues.
      • Consultant—Business.
      • Clinical Supervisor—Student intern.
      • Professional Supervisor—Employee.
    • A very brief summation of the cultural conflicts involved in the case.
  • Main Points of Cultural Difference slides: On the table provided in the template, list side by side the main cultural identities from the Hays model, relevant to the conflict in the case, of yourself and another person, agency, or institution in the case.
    • If more than one person, agency, or institution is involved in the case, make a copy of this slide for each one, to compare yourself to all others involved.
    • In the notes section:
      • Identify common concerns with each cultural identity. Be careful to avoid using stereotypes.
      • Analyze how cultural differences contributed to the conflict in this case.
      • Identify two relevant biases you have or had, and at least one strategy for improving your cultural competency around each of those biases.
  • Best Practices When Working With [Cultural Identity] slides: Identify a best practice for working with a cultural identity in this case and cite its source. Then, briefly analyze how the best practice could help you navigate this particular relationship and conflict.
    • In the notes section, describe the best practice in more detail and elaborate as needed on your analysis of how the best practice could help you navigate the relationship and conflict.
    • Citation requirements: You must cite best practices from at least three scholarly research articles. You may cite reputable sources form Web sites, books, textbooks, and suggested resources as well, but these will not count toward the three required scholarly research references.
    • Copy this slide as needed to address each cultural identity in this case.
  • Conclusion slide: Summarize the main lessons learned in this case study in a brief bulleted list.
  • References slides: See step 4 for citation requirements. Use current APA style and formatting guidelines

To help you consider carefully how your message is presented so that it reflects care, quality, and professionalism, consider the information provided in the remaining slides. NOTE: This presentation serves as an example in itself, by utilizing all of the guidelines mentioned. Outline The following topics will be covered: ▪ Writing ▪ Bullets ▪ Organization ▪ Tables ▪ Audience ▪ Font ▪ Design ▪ Speaker Notes ▪ Images Writing ▪ Present ideas succinctly with lean prose. ▪ Use short sentences. ▪ Use active, rather than passive voice. ▪ Avoid negative statements, if possible. ▪ Avoid double negative entirely. ▪ Check spelling and grammar. ▪ Use consistent capitalization rules. Organization ▪ Develop a clear, strategic introduction to provide context for the presentation. ▪ Develop an agenda or outline slide to provide a roadmap for the presentation. ▪ Group relevant pieces of information together. ▪ Integrate legends and keys with charts and tables. ▪ Organize slides in logical order. ▪ Present one concept or idea per slide. ▪ Use only one conclusion slide to recap main ideas. Audience ▪ Present information at language level of intended audience. ▪ Do not use jargon or field-specific language. ▪ Follow the 70% rule—If it does not apply to 70% of your audience, present it to individuals at a different time. Design ▪ Use a consistent design throughout the presentation. ▪ Keep layout and other features consistent. ▪ Use the master slide design feature to ensure consistency. ▪ Use consistent horizontal and vertical alignment of slide elements throughout the presentation. ▪ Leave ample space around images and text. Images ▪ When applicable, enhance text-only slide content by developing relevant images for your presentation. ▪ Do not use gratuitous graphics on each slide. ▪ Use animations only when needed to enhance meaning. If selected, use them sparingly and consistently. Bullets ▪ Use bullets unless showing rank or sequence of items. ▪ If possible, use no more than five bullet points and eight lines of text total per slide. Tables ▪ Use simple tables to show numbers, with no more than 4 rows x 4 columns. ▪ Reserve more detailed tables for a written summary. Font ▪ Keep font size at 24 point or above for slide titles. ▪ Keep font size at 18 or above for headings and explanatory text. ▪ Use sans serif fonts such as Arial or Verdana. ▪ Use ample contrast between backgrounds and text. Speaker Notes ▪ Summarize key information. ▪ Provide explanation. ▪ Discuss application and implication to the field, discipline or work setting. ▪ Document the narration you would use with each slide.

Case Study Overview
Aditi is an 18 years old female who comes to therapy
claiming feelings “of deep sadness” because her parents
do not allow her to date. Her parents are Indians, and in
India dating is typically a taboo. More so, her parents have
already started discussing about finding a suitable lifelong
husband for her and they presume that Aditi has no reason
to have an opinion on the matter. In recent times Aditi has
experienced symptoms such as lack of motivation,
excessive sleepiness and lack of appetite.

Case Study Overview
A cultural conflict emerges when I propose that the
main goal of the therapy is to help her gain autonomy
and make her voice heard within the family. From my
perspective, Aditi’s main problem is her lac...
