Visit the website of three global advertising agencies.

/in /by

Visit the website of three global advertising agencies. Link to some of these top ad agencies is here: http://www.top50adagencies.com/ . View some of their creative work. I have given you a resource for international ads, but you may need to check other sources.

Find an ad for a product sold in the US that has been developed for another country for a branded product (one with which you are familiar). State the name of the agency and include the link to that specific ad in your post, NOT a link to the company website or ad campaign, but the specific ad. State the NAME of the ad (all ads have names).

Describe the ad and discuss several ways in which you think it and/or its promotional message was adapted to that country’s culture. You MUST be specific when you discuss cultural adaptation. For example, US culture emphasizes independence and individualism, Americans are informal and believe in freedom of choice. Another example would be that in the US the color white is associated with purity and brides whereas in some countries white symbolizes death. Don’t confuse the creativity of an ad as being an adaptation to culture.

Discuss whether you think that advertisement would work well here in the United States and why or why not.


John Farmer’s “Fair Phyllis”

/in /by

I’d like you to think about the difference between listening to recordings and watching people perform. I’m sure you have experienced going to a concert and seeing one of your favorite artists perform one of your favorite songs – it adds a completely new dimension to the song. Specifically, I would like you to listen a couple times to the recording of John Farmer’s “Fair Phyllis” that’s provided as one of the Norton Listening Guides (Chapter 15, Listening Guide 4) and then watch these three performances on YouTube. Does watching the piece being performed add anything for you? How is the experience different? How would you compare the three performances?

    statement and it should have both primary and secondary source evidence
    in support of the thesis

  3. You must properly cite using the Turabian/Chicago style.

/in /by

Instructions

Reference Letter

Purpose: You will demonstrate an understanding of the basic theories and techniques of counseling psychology, identify the characteristics of an effective helper, and discuss ethical attitudes and codes relevant to psychology.

Guidelines: Fast-forward ten years. You have just graduated with a doctorate from a counseling psychology program. You are applying for a position with a foundation-supported community health center.

Rather than asking you to submit multiple reference letters, the health center wants you to have one instructor from your graduate program write a comprehensive letter describing all aspects of your educational journey, your effectiveness as a counselor, and your ability to act ethically in a variety of circumstances.

You approach your training director, Dr. Smith, and ask for a letter to be submitted with your application packet. Dr. Smith agrees to your request, and so you give Dr. Smith the instruction sheet below. For this project, you must take on the role of Dr. Smith and write an effective, professional letter (including appropriate salutation and closing) that will convince the community health center to hire you. The letter must cover all areas requested by the foundation and emphasize your mastery of the counseling psychology discipline.

Here is the instruction sheet:

Homework anyone that would help

Select one standardized assessment tool that you could administer as a licensed counselor in your state (e.g. SASSI-3, BDI-II, MBTI, etc.), review the empirical literature about this instrument, and thoroughly explore it in order to understand how it is used, what its strengths and weaknesses are, and who uses it and why. Then, complete an assessment instrument analysis of your selected assessment.

Scenario:

You have been hired as a consultant for a clinical practice (e.g., university counseling center, outpatient mental health center, inpatient facility). Your responsibility is to critique assessment instruments. You will write an analysis of a standardized instrument of your choice.

Scroll down and click on Mental Measurements Yearbook with Test in Print. Locate test reviews provided in one of the editions of the Mental Measurements Yearbook with Test in Print.

    • What population was the test originally developed to assess?
    • What was the demographic makeup of the population used to standardize the original instrument?

    • If the measure has been modified, discuss the reasons for changing the measure for each version.
  • Describe the type and purpose of the test:
    • Does the test provide an objective or subjective measure of the construct(s)?

    • Give a brief description of the sections of the test and include sample test items.
    • Provide information about administration and scoring. Describe any special instructions, whether the test is timed, and if so, the time limits.
    • Give details concerning scoring as a whole (for example, total score), by sections (for example, index scores), and by subscales (for example, subscale scores). Indicate whether the directions for administration and scoring are clear.
  • Identify and explain the requirements for administration:
    • What training or skills are needed to administer this test?
    • Can it be administered by a master’s level counselor without supervision?
    • How might counselors use this instrument as a part of assessment?
    • What is the level (A, B, or C) of this test?

    • Does the standardization process appear adequate for the recommended uses of the test?
  • Analyze the psychometric properties:
    • Discuss the psychometric properties of the current version of the test: validity (e.g., content, predictive, concurrent, and construct), reliability, (e.g., internal consistency, parallel forms, test-retest), measure(s) of variance (e.g., range, standard deviation), and type of score used (e.g., raw, z-score, t-score). Include the reliability and validity coefficients.
    • Does the measure report cutoff scores only, or is the confidence interval presented?
    • What are the advantages and disadvantages of the method of reporting scores?
    • Discuss how accurately and consistently the test measures what it is designed to measure. Also, discuss whether the test has good psychometric properties and why.
  • Analyze and explain ethics and diversity concerns:

Your paper should be written in a clear, concise, and organized manner in APA format; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
