PROJECT GUIDELINES
· Your discussion should be clear, concise, and in-depth. Answers should demonstrate knowledge and understanding of your ingroup’s culture and the outgroup’s culture, and how psychological principles apply to the similarities and differences between the groups.
· Do not rush through the assignment. Take time to think carefully about a group that is important to you. Think equally carefully about the outgroup (the group that feels differently about the same issue). You can get ideas for issues with opposing sides from the following databases. Opposing Viewpoints
(If these links do not work, visit the MVC Library.)
· Research aspects of the outgroup: read reputable articles; visit credible websites; talk to people who belong to the outgroup.
· As you develop your report, reflect on any social or cultural barriers to interactions with members of the outgroup. According to psychological principles, why is that?
PROJECT DETAILS
Length: Answers to the questions should be as long as necessary to be complete – probably between 3-4 pages. Assignment must be typed, double-spaced, with 1” margins, 12-point font. Papers that are not typed will not be accepted. If the paper you turn in is illegible, you may forfeit all points for this assignment.
Style: The best way to approach this project is to simply answer each question as it is presented. All answers must be in complete sentences using proper grammar and spelling. If you choose to write an essay, your paragraphs should transition logically. If you have concerns about your writing skills, schedule a visit with the MVC Writing Center located in W114. This is an excellent, free resource. Appointment required.
Citations: You must have at least two (2) references to specific psychological theories to support your answers. The theories/concepts should be clearly related to your answers. Cite theory, author(s), main points, and how it supports your answer.
· Psychology uses the APA format for citations (a tutorial link is provided on eCampus).
· Do not include first names, book titles, or journal article titles in your written answers.
· For example, if you cite information from your text, do not write: “According to Sandra Ciccarelli and J. Noland White in Psychology: An Exploration…”
· Do write: According to Ciccarelli and White (2016), psychology is a fascinating discipline.
· Direct quotes should be used sparingly (no more than two for the entire project) and only when the original author’s statement is the most effective way to state a concept or finding. You should always try to put other sources’ work in your own words.
Assignment: Intercultural Competence
· If you use a direct quote, it should be no longer than one sentence.
· Use proper citation for the quote:
· “In any society, there will always be ingroups and outgroups, or us versus them” (Ciccarelli & White, 2016, p. 384).
· According to Ciccarelli and White, “in any society, there will always be ingroups and outgroups, or us versus them” (2016, p. 384) .
· Periods go at the end of the sentence, but inside the closing punctuation, including quotation marks, if the quotation mark ends the sentence. Periods always go after the parenthesis ( ), unless the parentheses contain a full sentence. (Put periods at the end of a complete sentence within parentheses.)
· A complete list of references should be at the end of your assignment (not included as part of the 3-page minimum).
· Periods go at the end of the sentence, but inside the closing punctuation, including quotation marks, if the quotation mark ends the sentence. Periods always go after the parenthesis ( ), unless the parentheses contain a full sentence. (Put periods at the end of a complete sentence within parentheses.)
