Please no plagiarism and make sure you are able to access all resource on your own before you bid. One of the references must come from Corey, M. S., Corey, G., & Corey, C. (2018). You are expected to include at least one scholarly and peer-reviewed resource outside of those provided in the readings for each discussion post. I need this completed by 07/18/18 at 6pm.

By Day 3

· Explain how you will terminate your group. Be specific in describing the strategies you would use.

· Provide at least 2 supports or resources that you would offer members in need of help outside the group.

· Explain how you would evaluate the group experience. (This can be a more subjective gauge of group satisfaction.)

· Explain how you would measure progress toward group goals. (This should be an objective measure of group outcomes, such as a rating scale, standardized instrument, or a questionnaire.)

Here is an example of a post that a classmate completed from my group. We are doing a group for Domestic Violence Survivors:

The group that has been established is a group of Domestic Violence survivors.  With this particular group it is important to not wait until the final session to prepare the participants for the end.  As the initial stage of a group is critical to the groups functioning preparing members for the end of the group is equally imperative.  Since dealing with a group that can be an emotionally charged group, to end the group I would educate the group about what to expect during the final stages.  For instance, about two to three sessions prior to the final stage, I will remind members that the group will end and the importance of making the most of the group time; as well as helping them comprehend the benefits of being involved in the group before it ends. According to Corey, Corey, and Corey (2018) termination can begin on the first day of the group so leaders should prepare members throughout their interactions for the ending of the group.  During the video Dr. Corey (Haynes, 2014) emphasize reminding members of the ending and always preparing the for termination.  With a group like Domestic Violence survivors it can be most helpful to let them know what can be expected in an attempt to ease tension of the unknown since they come from situations that can often times be unpredictable.

Resources after Group

Even though the group sessions have been terminated it is still important to offer group members resources that they can take with them when the weekly group experience is no longer available to them.  Two resources or supports I would offer group members after the sessions have ended include a follow-up session and the option of linking with a group member.  One objective of the follow-up session would be for the member to realize how he or she is utilizing the tools learned in group in their everyday life. Dr. Corey detailed the importance of follow-up groups and how they allow members to explore what they have achieved while in the group outside of the group (Haynes, 2014).  Like the follow-up sessions, linking with a former group member will give the member support as well as an accountability partner.  These resources can give members a reference when the group is no longer available for support and help members identify things that they have or wish to accomplished.

Evaluations

After the group experience has ended a tool that can be used to evaluate the group experience is a questionnaire.  According to Corey (et. al 2018) questionnaires encourage members to again reflect and one more time put into words the meaning of their experiences in the group.  Questionnaire also give the group leader a tool to measure how well the group benefitted the members and gives the leaders an opportunity to make constructive changes.  Another way to evaluate the group experience is to check in with the members during the final meeting to hear what different members have to report about their experiences of the group (Haynes, 2014).  This dialogue could help the members and leaders to gauge the mindsets of the members from the first session to the last sessions.  In other words, it will allow all involved to witness that the feelings and attitudes may have changed since the initial session.  Evaluations are helpful to the group experience since it can benefit both members and leaders.

Topic—  Bullying             Topic— Bullying

                          Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read Chapters 1 and 2 of the Hesse-Biber e-book, Mixed Methods Research: Merging Theory with Practice, and the two required articles for this week. Mixed methods is a current popular methodology. While this type of methodology is useful for some studies, because of its dual nature as both quantitative and qualitative, it is not effective or appropriate for all research.

For this discussion, you will consider the use of mixed methods for the topic, (BULLYING), you have chosen for your Research Proposal. In your initial post, apply the scientific method to your research topic by defining your research question and determining the method(s) necessary to answer that question. Compare the characteristics and appropriate uses of the different methods and explain if your research question could best be answered through qualitative or quantitative methods, or a mix of both. Identify the dominant method (quantitative or qualitative) for your proposed study. Explain whether or not a mixed methods approach is the best way to study the topic, demonstrating that the second method is not added as an afterthought or merely to impress journal editors who favor mixed methods. If you have decided not to use mixed methods, explain why the study is best completed with either a quantitative or qualitative focus. Justify your design choice and support your position with scholarly sources. Include a discussion explaining how you would apply ethical principles to your design to address concerns which may impact your research.

The following course outcome is assessed with the Unit 3 Assignment:

PS430-2: Analyze behavior management programs using fundamental principles of behavior.

PC-2.1: Achieve goals through planning and prioritization.

You are working as a behavioral consulting intern. Your company is taking on a new client, Shoreside Community-Based Residential Facility. Shoreside would like your company to provide consultation in their unit for adults with traumatic brain injury.

Shoreside management and staff have expressed a concern over increasing rates of disruptive behavior during community outings and have had little success with their current interventions. They believe they may need assistance with staff training and behavior management techniques.

The company uses some Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) with their clients but has never used ABA at an organizational level. The Director recently learned about Organizational Behavior Management (OBM) and wants to know more about how basic concepts of ABA could be used at Shoreside. The Director of Shoreside believes this would be an effective way to address the problems within the organization.

Your manager has asked you to make a presentation to management and staff to provide more information about Organizational Behavior Management and how fundamental principles of behavior can be used in the organization. Shoreside is skeptical that the same principles they use with their clients could be applied to staff within the organization.

Using what you have learned about OBM and fundamental principles of behavior, you must create a PowerPoint presentation (minimum of 12 slides) consisting of the following:

1. Provide an overview of Organizational Behavior Management:
   • Define and describe Organizational Behavior Management.
   • Identify and describe at least one specific application of OBM that is applicable to the above organization.
2. Provide an overview of the general goals of an OBM/ABA based intervention:
   • Identify the role that individuals within organizations hold in relation to the successful planning and implementation of interventions
   • Describe how problems are prioritized and addressed.
3. Define and describe fundamental principles of behavior and provide examples of how this is applied on an organizational level. Use nontechnical language when possible, so that all those attending the meeting understand your discussion:
   • Respondent Conditioning
   • Operant Conditioning
   • Verbal Behavior
4. Describe why using a behavior analytic approach on all levels of the organization is preferred over a non-scientific approach.
5. Discuss why principles of ABA are important in the development of behavior management programs.

The goal for this Assignment is to provide an overview of Organizational Behavior Management and describe the fundamental principles of behavior analysis. You should not create a solution for the given scenario. You should provide a beginning explanation of the above principles in order to introduce the staff to the use of behavior analysis on all levels within the organization.

Your PowerPoint presentation should have an APA Style title page and reference page. The sources of the information used in the preparation of your presentation should be cited with in-text citations in APA Style and should be reflected on your reference page.

Your PowerPoint should be a minimum of 12 slides in length, not including title and reference pages, include proper APA formatting (including properly formatted headings for each section of your plan), and include at least two academic references reference from :  Johnson C., Redmon W., Mawhinney T. (2001). Handbook of Organizational Performance, 1st Edition.
