Psych660 Wk 6 Summative Assessment Decision Making Presentation

Ethical dilemmas can appear in many settings, especially when new technologies and human behavior intersect. In this assessment, you will apply what you’ve learned about ethical principles and decision-making models in a realistic situation by using an ethical decision-making framework to analyze a complex dilemma and determine a responsible action.  Assessment Preparation Read the following scenario:  You are a research assistant at a non-profit organization conducting a study on stress and burnout among early-career teachers. The project uses an AI-based transcription and sentiment analysis tool to process interview data.  Midway through the study, your supervisor informs you that a presentation is being prepared for a potential donor interested in funding future phases of the research. To make a stronger impression, your supervisor asks you to include raw AI-generated sentiment scores and excerpts from participant transcripts. However, you notice that some of the AI interpretations appear inaccurate or overly simplistic, and the excerpts contain identifying details that could compromise participant confidentiality.  You feel uncomfortable with this request and decide not to include the data in the presentation. Your supervisor is displeased with your decision, and you are asked to meet with the organization’s ethics committee to explain your reasoning and document your decision-making process.  To clearly present your concerns and support your position, you will create a slide presentation demonstrating how you used an ethical decision-making model to analyze the dilemma and guide your final decision.  Review Corey, Corey, and Callanan's Eight-Step Ethical Decision-Making Model to recall how to apply it to analyze an ethical dilemma. You will use the scenario and the model to complete the assessment.   Assessment Deliverable   Create a 10- to 12-slide presentation with detailed speaker notes in which you apply an ethical decision-making model to analyze the dilemma. The slide count does not include the title or reference slides.  Your presentation should clearly demonstrate how to apply the model to the ethical dilemma and include the following:  Title Slide  Title of your presentation Your name Course name and date Ethical Dilemma Summary (1-2 slides) Briefly summarize the ethical dilemma, including key stakeholders and their interests. Ethical Issues and APA Ethics Code (1-2 slides) Identify relevant APA ethical standards and principles (e.g., confidentiality, integrity, informed consent). Explain the ethical principles that are at risk and the potential consequences of different choices. Describe the ethical implications of using AI-generated data and the researcher's responsibilities for using such data. Applying an Ethical Decision-Making Model (3-4 slides) Describe each step in Corey’s Eight-Step Ethical Decision-Making Model and the actions you have taken within each step to analyze the dilemma and come to a decision.  Incorporate details to explain your rationale for the actions and decisions made at each stage of the process. Cite relevant ethical and legal standards from the APA Ethics Code to support your reasoning. Propose at least 2 potential courses of action you should take and explain how each aligns with the model.  Identify the pros and cons of each action you proposed.  Final Decision (1-2 slides) Provide your final decision for resolving the ethical dilemma and justify it using ethical principles and practical reasoning. Reflect on the strengths and limitations of using ethical decision-making models.  References   Cite at least 2 scholarly sources in addition to the APA Ethics Code and any graphics used according to APA guidelines.  Submit your assessment.
