You work in an advertising firm, and your company has secured a project to design an advertisement for a budget airline, SCOOSH Pte Ltd. A design team has been established to tackle this design project for SCOOSH. 

You have been appointed as the leader of this diverse workgroup. Your team members vary in terms of their gender (male/female), age (Millennials to Generation X), nationality (Singaporeans vs non-Singaporeans) and specialization (business, arts, psychology etc.). Furthermore, they are working together for the very first time on a design project like this. 

Based on empirical research on workgroup diversity (e.g., Milliken, Bartel & Kurtzberg, 2003), examine and recommend how you can harness the creative potential in your team to come up with an advertisement for SCOOSH, while avoiding the perils and pitfalls of working in a diverse workgroup.

Recommended/suggested readings:

Relevant articles in the psychological literature (e.g., Journal of Creative Behaviour, Creativity Research Journal etc.) which are related to the above question

Western cultures think of time in linear terms while other cultures perceive the passage of time in cyclical terms (Helman, 2005). Helman states, “The clock, the watch and the calendar are among the main cultural symbols of Western industrial society” (para. 3). How might a culture’s perception of time influence views of individuals in later adulthood? What other cultural differences might impact a people’s view of aging? This week, you explore different cultures’ perspectives on aging and consider how these differences might impact social work.

To prepare for this Discussion, research two cultures different from your own and compare their perspectives on aging to that of your own culture.
By Day 3

Post a Discussion that compares your culture’s perspective on aging to the perspectives of the two cultures you researched. Explain why you think these differences exist. Also, explain how different perspectives on aging might impact social work practice.

Read a selection of your colleagues’ posts.
By Day 5

Respond to at least two colleagues who addressed cultures that are different from the ones you addressed. Share an insight from reading your colleagues’ postings. Describe how you might incorporate the cultural perspectives on aging described by your colleagues into your own social work practice.

The primary goal of this literature review is to integrate concepts from four different content domains within the larger field of psychology. The four content domains should be chosen from previous coursework in this program. In this paper, students will review the findings in the individual empirical articles, organize the research in a meaningful way, evaluate the reliability, validity, and generalizability of the research findings, and present an integrated synthesis of the research that sheds new light on the topics within and across the four domains.

The result of a successful integrative literature review may be a significant contribution to a particular body of knowledge and, consequently, to research and practice. Therefore, before writing this literature review, substantive new research must be conducted via the Internet and within the Ashford University Library for each of the four chosen domains. A minimum of six sources must be included for each of the four domains. Although content from literature reviews completed in prior courses within this program may be included, it may not constitute the total research for the individual domains addressed within this assignment. No more than four sources from previous literature reviews completed in this program may be utilized for this integrative review.

The headings listed below must be used within the paper to delineate the sections of content. These sections include the following: a clear introduction that provides a general review and organizes the research in a meaningful way; a discussion in which the evidence is presented through analysis, critique, and synthesis; and a conclusion in which the discussion is drawn together in a meaningful way, the claims of the introduction are brought to a logical closure, and new research is proposed.

Introduction

· Provide a conceptual framework for the review.

· Describe how the review will be organized. The questions below may be used to guide this section.

o What are the guiding theories within the domains?

o How are the domains connected?

o Are there competing points of view across the domains?

o Why is the integration of these domains important?

o What is the history of these domains?

o What are the related theories or findings?

· Describe how the literature was identified, analyzed, and synthesized.

· How and why was the literature chosen?

· What is your claim or thesis statement?

Discussion

· Provide the analysis, critique, and synthesis for the review.

Analysis

· Examine the main ideas and relationships presented in the literature across the four domains.

· Integrate concepts from the four different content domains within the larger field of psychology.

· What claim(s) can be made in the introduction?

· What evidence supports the claim(s) made in the introduction?

Critique

· Evaluate the reliability, validity, and generalizability of the chosen research findings.

· How well does the literature represent the issues across the four domains?

· Identify the strengths and the key contributions of the literature.

· What, if any, deficiencies exist within the literature?

· Have the authors omitted any key points and/or arguments?

· What, if any, inaccuracies have been identified in the literature?

· What evidence runs contrary to the claims proposed in the introduction, and how might these be reconciled with the claims presented?

· Explain how the APA’s Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct might influence the reliability and/or generalizability of the chosen findings.

· Did the ethical issues influence the outcomes of the research?

· Were ethical considerations different across the domains?

Synthesis

· Integrate existing ideas with new ideas to create new knowledge and new perspectives.

· Describe the research that has previously been done across these domains, as well as any controversies or alternate opinions that currently exist.

· Relate the evidence presented to the major conclusions being made.

· Construct clear and concise arguments using evidence-based psychological concepts and theories to posit new relationships and perspectives on the topics within the domains.

Conclusion

· Provide a conclusion and present potential future considerations.

· State your final conclusion(s).

· Synthesize the findings described in the discussion into a succinct summary.

· What questions remain?

· What are the possible implications of your argument for existing theories and for everyday life?

· Are there novel theories and/or testable hypothesizes for future research?

· What do the overarching implications of the studies show?

· Where should the research go from this point to further the understanding of these domains and the greater study of psychology?
