COUC 501
**Benchmark Ethical Vignette Paper Assignment Instructions**
Overview
Counselors must abide by the ACA Code of Ethics, the laws and regulations of their state in which they practice, and federal laws. Understanding and knowing these standards, laws, and regulations are imperative to a counselor’s practice standards. This assignment helps you become familiar with the ethical decision-making model, ACA Code of Ethics, state laws and regulations, and federal laws. You will learn how to apply both ethical standards and laws to common ethical scenarios.
Instructions
You will choose between 2 videos in Module 4 of your Canvas course. After selecting the video you would like to utilize for the assignment, you will write a response paper according to the detailed instructions below. Your paper must be in current APA format (title page, abstract, introduction, conclusion, reference page, etc.). The body of your paper must be 3 pages and your paper must include at least
**_4 scholarly references published within the last 5 years_**. Citations for both the ACA Code of Ethics and your state code of ethics must be included and count towards the 4 required scholarly references. Note that the
**_title page and reference page do not count toward the required page length_**. Your paper must be well-thought-out and demonstrate critical thinking. Also, all references must be from professional sources (professional academic journals and professional texts; no informal websites; no materials from courses within the degree program).
Step 1: Choose
_one_ watch item (
**How Can you Understand?** or
**To Self-Disclose or Not?**) from the assigned module to complete this assignment.
Step 2: When you watch the video, step into the shoes of the counselor (as though you are the counselor in the scenario you watched). Now that the scenario presented has happened to you, read the
**Practitioner’s Guide to Ethical Decision-Making**. Read each step carefully. For this assignment, pay specific attention to
**steps 1-4** of the ethical decision-making model as these steps will become the headings for your paper as outlined in Step 4 below.
Step 3: Read the remaining assignment instructions in their entirety. Then, watch the selected video again while taking copious notes to identify the problem.
Step 4: Divide your paper into the following required headings and answer the questions below in 1st person:
**Identify the problem**
· Clearly state the facts of the scenario. Do not provide innuendos, assumptions, hypotheses, or suspicions.
· Correctly and clearly identify the problem(s) in the scenario.
· Answer the following questions: Is this problem an ethical, legal, professional, clinical, or technology problem? Is it a combination of more than one of these?
**Apply the ACA Code of Ethics**
· Identify two to three applicable standards from the 2014 ACA
_Code of Ethics_. Which standards apply, or can address, the problem(s) presented in the scenario?
· Make sure to cite the standard numbers and state how the standards apply to the scenario.
**Applicable State Codes/Laws and Federal Mental Health Laws**
· Which ethical codes from your state licensure laws, rules, or practice act apply to this scenario?
· Correctly and clearly identify any Federal Mental Health Laws that apply to this scenario.
· Make sure to include the code number(s) and state how the code(s) apply to the scenario.
**Determine the Nature and Dimensions of the Dilemma**
· Identify which ACA moral principle(s) apply to this scenario: autonomy, beneficence, justice, nonmaleficence, fidelity, and/or veracity? How do the identified principle(s) apply to the scenario?
· If more than one applies, determine which one is priority based on the problem identified in the scenario.
· Review relevant professional literature from professional refereed journals related to the identified problem and moral principle to find the most recent professional thinking regarding the ethical dilemma. Materials must be outside of your textbooks, course materials, and materials from other classes. You need at least 2 journal articles published in the last 5 years. (Remember that you need 4 sources total; 2 of your sources will include the ACA Code and your state laws.)
· Provide
_two experienced professional counselors_ (supervisors, peers, etc.) who also abide by the ACA Code of Ethics and
_two state and/or national professional counseling organizations_ you will consult to help you with the dilemma.
**PLEASE NOTE:** You are not required to interview these professionals, but list them in your paper as part of your process.
**Generate** **Potential course of action**
· Brainstorm 3-4 potential courses of action to explain how you would address or resolve the ethical issue presented. Make sure this section is written in 1st person and fully addresses the problem.
**_You are not preventing the problem_**.
· For each potential action item, provide evidence from the literature to support your approach.
_NOTE: Do not state that you will work through the ethical decision-making model as part of your action plan. This IS the ethical decision-making model._ You need at least 2 scholarly journal articles published in the last 5 years.
Step 5: When you have completed your paper, save it as a Microsoft Word document under your name and assignment title (Example: Doe_J_Ethical_Vignette_Paper). Submit your paper via the assignment submission link in Canvas. You must also submit this benchmark paper to CORE.
**NOTE:** _Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool AND the AI tool. If the final paper you submit contains entire sentences or paragraphs that have a high similarity index to other sources, it may indicate either unintentional or intentional plagiarism. If your paper results in an AI score of 20% or higher, your instructor must submit this information to the administration. Please carefully review the academic dishonesty policies and the full program handbook for additional information._

**The Impact of Life Experiences on Development**
**Complete a 7- to 9-page (not including title page and references) paper with the following criteria:**
Choose four events from your life which you believe had a significant impact on your development. There must be at least one event from childhood, one from adolescence, and one from adulthood; the fourth event may be in any one of those three stages. The events should be specific and have occurred at a single point in time – do NOT use broad stages or longer periods of time. If you are unsure whether your identified events meet criteria, please reach out to your faculty and ask!
For
**each of the four life events** selected, do the following:
· Describe the life event as age-graded, history-graded, or non-normative.
· Explain how the event was significant to your development and why, including how it impacted or changed you cognitively, psychologically, and/or socially.
· Explain how the event and its associated changes influenced your identity development through your lifespan.
· Support your statements with developmental theory and integration of knowledge you gained throughout the course.
**This should include citations for the course textbook (Broderick & Blewitt, 2025) and at least one additional peer-reviewed article published within the past 5 years for each event.**
Remember this is
**not a narrative of your life**, but rather
**an analysis of developmental influences** using yourself as the case study. Your introduction should include an overview of the significance of life experiences on development; your conclusions should include a brief recap of key points in your paper, and any new perspectives gained from your analyses.
The Final Project will be evaluated according to the
**Final Project Rubric** located in the
**Course Information** area. Be sure that the Final Project is written using APA format and the
**final project** **template**(found in Week 1 of the course).
**The Final Project is due Day 7 of Week 9. Please refer to the Final Project area in Week 9 for submission details.**

## Event-based Influences on Development
## Age-Graded Events (Normative) · Occur in a similar way for most people in a particular group · Affect most people within a given culture at about the same age (this age may vary, though, in different cultures) · Examples: _entering and finishing school, parenthood, marriage, entering the workforce, death of parents, retirement, etc._ History-Graded Events (Normative) · Common to a particular cohort: a group of people who share a similar experience · These are generally major historical events so large in scope that they affect the lives of virtually everyone (may have some differences, though, across cultures/geography) · The impact may vary depending upon the age at which they are experienced (as well as other influential factors). · Examples: _War, 9-11, Recession, COVID-19 Pandemic, etc._ Non-Normative Events · Experiences that most people do not have, or that occur at times other than the ‘norm’ · Generally unusual occurrences that have a major impact on one’s life · Examples: _Death of a parent when the child is young, death of children before oneself, certain illnesses, abuse, divorce, … but can also be positive life events as well (perhaps the opportunity to experience another culture when young, the birth of a sibling once you are older, embarking upon a second career, etc._ _Bonus: Sociocultural-graded influences_ · Different effects depending on race, age, economic status, location, etc… · Not an identified event category, but rather a contextual consideration for analyzing impact of events · Consider the intersectionality of these influences on how the event impacted you TIPS & REMINDERS: ~ In addition to the above influences on development, which you are required to identify for each life event, consider also exploring those events within the framework of Bronfenbrenner’s theory (way back in Chapter 1 as well) in exploring the various systems at play in your life at these points in time. Remember to connect each event with various developmental theories appropriate to the stage and to cite your sources/provide evidence from the literature! Consider the influences of gender, culture, sexuality, nature vs. nurture, developmental tasks, etc. There is so much to pull from – your challenge is going to be focusing on just a few pieces and doing that well. ~ Finally – don’t forget to include support in both your introduction section and conclusion! These are essential components and points will be lost for failing to include these as well-formulated sections or if they are lacking in theoretical support.

**The Impact of Life Experiences on Development**
**Complete a 7- to 9-page (not including title page and references) paper with the following criteria:**
Choose four events from your life which you believe had a significant impact on your development. There must be at least one event from childhood, one from adolescence, and one from adulthood; the fourth event may be in any one of those three stages. The events should be specific and have occurred at a single point in time – do NOT use broad stages or longer periods of time. If you are unsure whether your identified events meet criteria, please reach out to your faculty and ask!
For
**each of the four life events** selected, do the following:
· Describe the life event as age-graded, history-graded, or non-normative.
· Explain how the event was significant to your development and why, including how it impacted or changed you cognitively, psychologically, and/or socially.
· Explain how the event and its associated changes influenced your identity development through your lifespan.
· Support your statements with developmental theory and integration of knowledge you gained throughout the course.
**This should include citations for the course textbook (Broderick & Blewitt, 2025) and at least one additional peer-reviewed article published within the past 5 years for each event.**
Remember this is
**not a narrative of your life**, but rather
**an analysis of developmental influences** using yourself as the case study. Your introduction should include an overview of the significance of life experiences on development; your conclusions should include a brief recap of key points in your paper, and any new perspectives gained from your analyses.
The Final Project will be evaluated according to the
**Final Project Rubric** located in the
**Course Information** area. Be sure that the Final Project is written using APA format and the
**final project** **template**(found in Week 1 of the course).
**The Final Project is due Day 7 of Week 9. Please refer to the Final Project area in Week 9 for submission details.**

## Event-based Influences on Development
## Age-Graded Events (Normative) · Occur in a similar way for most people in a particular group · Affect most people within a given culture at about the same age (this age may vary, though, in different cultures) · Examples: _entering and finishing school, parenthood, marriage, entering the workforce, death of parents, retirement, etc._ History-Graded Events (Normative) · Common to a particular cohort: a group of people who share a similar experience · These are generally major historical events so large in scope that they affect the lives of virtually everyone (may have some differences, though, across cultures/geography) · The impact may vary depending upon the age at which they are experienced (as well as other influential factors). · Examples: _War, 9-11, Recession, COVID-19 Pandemic, etc._ Non-Normative Events · Experiences that most people do not have, or that occur at times other than the ‘norm’ · Generally unusual occurrences that have a major impact on one’s life · Examples: _Death of a parent when the child is young, death of children before oneself, certain illnesses, abuse, divorce, … but can also be positive life events as well (perhaps the opportunity to experience another culture when young, the birth of a sibling once you are older, embarking upon a second career, etc._ _Bonus: Sociocultural-graded influences_ · Different effects depending on race, age, economic status, location, etc… · Not an identified event category, but rather a contextual consideration for analyzing impact of events · Consider the intersectionality of these influences on how the event impacted you TIPS & REMINDERS: ~ In addition to the above influences on development, which you are required to identify for each life event, consider also exploring those events within the framework of Bronfenbrenner’s theory (way back in Chapter 1 as well) in exploring the various systems at play in your life at these points in time. Remember to connect each event with various developmental theories appropriate to the stage and to cite your sources/provide evidence from the literature! Consider the influences of gender, culture, sexuality, nature vs. nurture, developmental tasks, etc. There is so much to pull from – your challenge is going to be focusing on just a few pieces and doing that well. ~ Finally – don’t forget to include support in both your introduction section and conclusion! These are essential components and points will be lost for failing to include these as well-formulated sections or if they are lacking in theoretical support.

**## PSY8765WK2ASSIGNMENTINSTRUCTIONS.docx**
**Introduction**
You are a newly hired industrial-organizational psychology practitioner working as an internal consultant in a large automotive repair company. When hiring managers complain the current preemployment testing process does not identify suitable candidates for the automotive technician/mechanic job, you are tasked with developing a 9- to 12-slide presentation for the HR director and hiring managers that:
· Explains the value of employment assessments for this job.
· Recommends an assessment battery consisting of two commercially available tests or assessments.
After developing your slide deck and speaker notes, you will be required to video record your presentation and submit it along with your slide deck and speaker notes to the assignment area.
**Instructions**
In the study for Week 1, you conducted research on commercially available preemployment tests or assessments. You will be incorporating the information you learned from this research into your PowerPoint presentation.
Here is a sampling of the most critical knowledge, skills, and abilities needed for automobile technicians according to the Occupational Information Network (O*NET, 2019):
· Mechanical knowledge of machines and tools, including their designs, uses, repair, and maintenance.
· Mechanical aptitude/ability (repairing, troubleshooting, operating, controlling, or maintaining equipment).
· Mathematics.
· Critical thinking.
· Judgment and decision making.
· Problem solving (ability to identify a problem, deductive reasoning, inductive reasoning).
· Active listening.
· Manual dexterity.
· Personality/work styles:
· Attention to detail.
· Integrity.
· Dependability.
· Initiative.
· Achievement/effort.
As you begin to prepare your PowerPoint presentation, keep in mind that for a test battery to be considered legally defensible, the tests/assessments must be:
· Relevant to the target population of test takers—automobile technicians.
· Aligned with one or more critically important knowledge, skills, abilities, or other characteristics for the job.
In addition, your assessment battery needs to include two
**different** types of tests. For example, in your recommended battery do not include two personality tests or two ability tests. Likewise, keep in mind that the maximum test administration time for the two tests/assessments you are recommending is 45 minutes. You will also want to remember that the audience for your presentation is the average person, not an expert in employment testing. Tailor your content and language appropriately.

**## PSY8765WK2ASSIGNMENTINSTRUCTIONS.docx**
**Introduction**
You are a newly hired industrial-organizational psychology practitioner working as an internal consultant in a large automotive repair company. When hiring managers complain the current preemployment testing process does not identify suitable candidates for the automotive technician/mechanic job, you are tasked with developing a 9- to 12-slide presentation for the HR director and hiring managers that:
· Explains the value of employment assessments for this job.
· Recommends an assessment battery consisting of two commercially available tests or assessments.
After developing your slide deck and speaker notes, you will be required to video record your presentation and submit it along with your slide deck and speaker notes to the assignment area.
**Instructions**
In the study for Week 1, you conducted research on commercially available preemployment tests or assessments. You will be incorporating the information you learned from this research into your PowerPoint presentation.
Here is a sampling of the most critical knowledge, skills, and abilities needed for automobile technicians according to the Occupational Information Network (O*NET, 2019):
· Mechanical knowledge of machines and tools, including their designs, uses, repair, and maintenance.
· Mechanical aptitude/ability (repairing, troubleshooting, operating, controlling, or maintaining equipment).
· Mathematics.
· Critical thinking.
· Judgment and decision making.
· Problem solving (ability to identify a problem, deductive reasoning, inductive reasoning).
· Active listening.
· Manual dexterity.
· Personality/work styles:
· Attention to detail.
· Integrity.
· Dependability.
· Initiative.
· Achievement/effort.
As you begin to prepare your PowerPoint presentation, keep in mind that for a test battery to be considered legally defensible, the tests/assessments must be:
· Relevant to the target population of test takers—automobile technicians.
· Aligned with one or more critically important knowledge, skills, abilities, or other characteristics for the job.
In addition, your assessment battery needs to include two
**different** types of tests. For example, in your recommended battery do not include two personality tests or two ability tests. Likewise, keep in mind that the maximum test administration time for the two tests/assessments you are recommending is 45 minutes. You will also want to remember that the audience for your presentation is the average person, not an expert in employment testing. Tailor your content and language appropriately.
