In the realm of psychology research focusing on astrology beliefs and personality traits, a multi-faceted relationship conflict may emerge when the researcher occupies the dual roles of a researcher and a practitioner of astrology. This intricate conflict can present ethical challenges and biases that have the potential to compromise the validity and reliability of the research findings. To effectively navigate this conflict in advance, it is imperative for researchers to proactively establish firm boundaries between their roles, ensuring clarity and transparency in their communication with all stakeholders involved. By openly disclosing their involvement in both research and astrological practices, researchers can foster trust and maintain the integrity of the study. Furthermore, a crucial strategy involves maintaining a strict separation between their roles as a researcher and an astrologer, refraining from intertwining their personal astrological services with the research process to prevent any undue influence on participants or outcomes. In cases where the researcher’s astrological expertise is integral to the study, engaging an independent third-party for verification can serve as a safeguard against bias and bolster the scientific rigor of the research. Seeking ethical review and oversight from institutional bodies can provide invaluable guidance on navigating complex ethical dilemmas and safeguarding the rights and well-being of research participants. Continuous self-reflection on personal motives, biases, and actions, coupled with ongoing professional development in research ethics and conflict resolution, can equip researchers with the necessary tools to uphold ethical standards and ensure the credibility of their work in exploring the intersection of astrology beliefs and personality traits. By conscientiously implementing these comprehensive strategies, researchers can effectively address and mitigate the challenges posed by multiple role relationship conflicts in their research endeavors.

@I am an international student attending a community college and am not fluent in English. I would appreciate it if you could use academic expressions without difficult or professional jargon. The file named “minsoo kim” contains the summary of the survey results I have organized. Based on that file and the additional three attached files, I would be grateful if you could create the content. PPT file doesn’t have to be professional and fancy! I would like it to be easy to read and include the content I have organized. The below is the introduction of this assignment. Thank you!!@
Now it is time to showcase the results of your study in a brief PowerPoint presentation highlighting the key findings of your work and its relevance to the field of psychology.
Your PowerPoint presentation should introduce the research topic studied and present a basic background of past research in that area.  Detail the research question studied and the specific hypothesis tested in your investigation.  Present your results and any problems encountered while conducting your study or limitations to your results.  Have fun with this project. It should be a creative and engaging presentation.
Requirements for your PowerPoint presentation: 
Include the following in your PowerPoint presentation:
At least 7 – 10 PowerPoint slides
Include several pictures, tables, video links, or other graphics related to your topic
Attractive presentation
An introduction to your research topic
Explain research question studied and specific hypothesis tested
Results of your survey
Discussion of relevance and limitations of your investigation
Slides should be well organized, following a logical progression, each building on the other
Presentation should be creative and engaging
Must relate to field of psychology and have value to the class
Following the submission of your PowerPoint presentation, fellow classmates will have an opportunity to view your work and you theirs. This will provide an opportunity for an exchange of ideas and a chance to learn from the work of your fellow students.
This assignment should be submitted as a PowerPoint file.
Here are a few sample PowerPoint presentations from former students.  Unlike your project, these sample presentations were done by students working in groups of 3 to 5 students and are therefore a bit lengthier than what I expect of your solo projects.

After reading Chapter 2 in the Sternad (2021 text), review the questions asked on pages 44-46 and reflect on a specific personal or professional situation that you can apply to the ABCDE coaching model. Use the questions in the exercise on page 46 to guide your reflection. Write out your responses to Step 1 and Step 2 in your original post and then describe the benefits of this approach in addressing your described conflict.
Submit a thread (250-word minimum; approximately 400-word maximum) in answer to the question provided. Must use 3 references with one being a a reference that cites the Bible. Book Reference: Developing Coaching Skills: A Concise Introduction By: Dietmar Sternad Page 46 of the book has been uploaded for the questions that would need to be answered.

Step 2 : find an article published in the last seven (7) years in the Journal of Clinical Psychology* The article should describe an experimental manipulation by the researchers specifically. This means that the researchers conducted a study that is a true experiment with an easily identifiable independent and dependent variable. (Do not select meta-analyses, summaries, correlational studies, editorials, or theoretical articles. It is your responsibility to make sure that the journal article you select is appropriate. If you are unsure about the relevance of your article, contact your instructor for approval.).
Step 3: Read the article starting with the Title and Abstract, which will give you a quick preview of the purpose and results of the article.
Step 4: Read the Introduction. Highlight the purpose of the article and the author’s hypothesis (e.g., what was studied, what the authors predicted, and why they found the topic worthy of study). Pay attention to the context provided for the research (i.e., what research has been done previously in the field? what issue or problem is this study trying to address?)
Step 5: Read the Methods section. Note the descriiption of the participants and any tests, surveys, questionnaires, apparatus, or other materials that were used. Pay particular attention to the details involved in the experimental procedure. How were the variables manipulated or measured? Recall that the Independent Variable (IV) is the variable that is manipulated by the research (i.e., whether the room is hot or cold (if that is the variable of interest) or whether participants are given a placebo, shown any type of media or other stimuli, given talk therapy, or instructed to take medication (if that is the variable of interest). Remember that the Independent Variable is what was different about the experiences of the different groups. Recall also that the Dependent Variable (DV) is that variable that is measured, or, the outcome of the study (i.e., test performance or lessening of depressive symptoms).
Step 6: Read the Results. Try not to get intimidated by complex statistical analysis. Instead of focusing on the numbers, focus on the short descriiptions that accompany the findings explaining what the researchers found (i.e., Did the researchers find evidence that supports their hypothesis?)
Step 7: Read the Discussion. Pay special attention here to what the authors say about the importance of their findings or the lack of findings. Think about other things you could do to look at this issue.
Step 8: Prepare a 3 to 5 page summary of the article fully paraphrased in your own words and your own writing style and structure. Changing a few words from the original is not fully paraphrasing. Be sure to address the following questions in your summary:
What is the purpose of the research? (Address specifics regarding the overall purpose of the research in question.)
What hypothesis is tested? (Provide a clear statement of the researchers’ prediction.)
How did the researchers investigate their research question? (Provide details regarding the study methodology.)
What are the pertinent results of the manipulation? (What were the findings and conclusions drawn?)
What is your personal opinion of the study conducted? Should it be repeated? What could be improved?
What is your overall impression of the work? What are the implications of the study for the practice of counseling psychology?
Your summary should be written as a coherent essay (do not format as a list of answers to these questions). You may include additional insights in your analysis, but you must address these key issues. You may find it useful to use headings and subheadings to organize your discussion as you address these key issues.
Step 9: Prepare your Article Review according to the following guidelines:
Structure your paper utilizing APA style (7th Edition); this includes title page, headings, in-text citations, reference page, and general paper format (1-inch margins, double-spaced, appropriately sized sans serif or serif fonts – e.g., 12 Times Roman). An abstract is not required.
Apply sound writing mechanics: write with clarity, paying attention to spelling, grammar, and syntax.

Please write a three to four page paper (roughly six to seven paragraphs) using one of the following fictional characters:  Killmonger (Black Panther), Harry Potter, Wanda Maximoff (Wanda Vison), Jason Bourne (Bourne Trilogy), Nullah (from the movie Australia 2008), Sarah Conner (Terminator), Ripley (Aliens), Katniss Everdeen (The Hunger Games), any of the characters from the television show Reservation Dogs, Abuela Alma (Encanto), or Celie (The Color Purple).  If you have another character you would like to base your paper on please send me an email (so I can familiarize myself with the character beforehand.)
The paper should include one to two paragraphs describing what type of trauma this individual experienced (i.e., community violence, historical trauma, generational trauma, childhood abuse, war, etc.), what symptoms of trauma you see that this character is experiencing.  The symptoms should be specifically described, (ex:  cognitive distortions, flashbacks, nightmares, difficulty regulating emotions, etc.)  Include specific examples from the films supporting your conclusions.
Secondly, imagine this individual accessing support at a community behavioral health agency where you work. Incorporating the components of each of the six concepts of Trauma-Informed Care, how would you engage in providing services to this individual.  Provide specific examples of the concepts and how you would apply them. For example when discussing the concept of safety, including how to ensure physical and psychological safety.  These concepts should be tailored to the specific character you choose to write about, these needs may be different for different individuals and their specific trauma history.  Aim to write one paragraph per each of the six Trauma-Informed Care Concepts. 

Overview: 
As a provider working with families who have a child on the autism spectrum, families rely on you to help them navigate this new world they have entered. Physicians are often the first provider a family encounters when learning their child has developmental delays, but as a therapist (speech, behavior, autism, occupational, etc.), psychologist, case manager, special education teacher, or family advocate, you are likely to be the family’s ongoing service provider with whom they have come to rely on for information.
You are to develop at least 10 recommendations for a family who has just learned their 24-month old son or daughter has autism. The family has not been in contact with any services up to this point, and is asking your help in finding what they need to provide the most comprehensive service plan for their child. The focus of this assignment is to point the family to the resources available in their community, not develop specific behavior goals or treatments. The purpose is for you to learn about the resources available in your community so that you are better prepared to help a family who has just received a diagnosis. Remember that not all families can afford private services and must rely on the federally funded services from the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, IDEA, thus finding these resources for the parent is very important.
Recommendations are typically several sentences long and provide an explanation of why it is recommended and where the family can go to find the service. Provide phone numbers, websites, and addresses when necessary (i.e., providing a family with contact information to a local ABA clinic). Recommendations should include all of the following:
1. What is it? Include a description of the service. Put the description in your own words and do not copy off the internet.
2. Why is it important? Include a reason why this resource is necessary for the family. Make this personal to the family and validate their needs and feelings.
3. How can the family get in contact with the agency/sign up for the service? Include contact information.
Sometimes, you find helpful handouts on the Internet that correspond to a specific service. If you find one, attach it to your assignment.
Of the 10 recommendations, you must develop recommendations for the following services:
Your local 0-3 intervention service (Part C services). Consult http://ectacenter.org/contact/ptccoord.aspLinks to an external site. to help you determine the correct early intervention provider in your area.
Preschool services under IDEA (Part B services). This would be through the local public school system in your area
Financial aspects of autism treatment (waivers, supplemental insurance, etc.).
You are not limited to these topics, and I expect you to gather information from this module’s readings and videos to help you determine what other services are needed for this child. Don’t forget to review the Easter Seals website at http://www.easterseals.com/explore-resources/living-with-autism/state-autism-profiles.htmlLinks to an external site. to help you with your assignment. You are not limited to this website either. 
International students should still include any resources they can for the requirements above, but they are not expected to have resources that align with United States guidelines. Please research the guidelines in your country. If you prefer, you may choose Indiana (as your university’s home state) and provide recommendations for Indiana. Please make it clear that you are providing recommendations for another country.
Please see the rubric below to see how you will be graded.
Dos and Don’ts to remember:
Be sure to personalize the recommendations to the family. Let them know why it is important.
Don’t use jargon or acronyms without explaining it.
Don’t copy and paste description of resources directly from the internet.
Even though you might know classmates who have completed this assignment in the past, don’t rely on the fact that they got it right even if they received a good grade.
Give the family enough information about the resource so that they don’t have to go searching for more.
If you want to recommend several centers that provide the same type of service (i.e. ABA clinics) then that only counts as one recommendation with multiple contacts. It is great to give the family options, but they need to be separate ideas.
Don’t copy and paste contact information from websites. This tends to mess up your formatting.

Make sure it is APA format. Write about any Topic that is appropriate in college and that would tie in Psychology.
