We know that cultural norms contribute to our perceptions of what is normal. For example, there are many subcultural groups within society that would not think drinking a pint of whiskey and a six-pack of beer in one evening is deviant, particularly when all of their relatives, friends, and acquaintances are engaging in the same behavior. What cultural and gender based norms and factors need to be taken into consideration when speaking to caregivers regarding their children and psychological symptoms? Account for both cultural sensitivities and the accuracy of collecting data.
It is required that you post at least 2 times per discussion (initial post and response to at least 1 peer) over the two week period (on two different days) to encourage a lively discussion. Your first post must be submitted during the first week that the question is posted. Your initial response must contain an in-text citation, referencing material from your textbook and/or other academic sources. Your second response, which is your follow-up response to another student, can be posted during either the first or second week that the discussion board is open. Your initial response needs to use in-text citations and must contain an academic reference at the end of your post. This is an upper-level psychology course, so APA style is mandated for the discussion board. Failure to use proper APA style in-text citations and references will result in point loss. Please consult Purdue’s OWL Resources (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. for APA format.
Each of your required two responses should be a minimum of 225 words and should meet the content requirements stated in the syllabus. However, your initial response will probably be longer. Two postings per discussion module (a two week period) is the minimum number of postings per discussion and will yield a minimum grade. Proper grammar and spelling are required and points will be deducted for errors.
