Case Studies

Case Studies

There are many research methods available to psychologists in their efforts to understand, describe, and explain behavior and the cognitive and biological processes that underlie it.

Ethical Dilemmas II

Ethical Dilemmas II

Resolving an ethical dilemma in healthcare involves a systematic approach that considers every aspect of the issue, respecting both the patient's needs and values and the healthcare professional's ethical obligations. Here are potential steps to resolve an ethical dilemma:

Surveys

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

A key concept in this field is the role of social context in shaping behavior. The same individual may act differently depending on the social setting, due to the varying expectations and norms associated with each environment. This context-dependent behavior illustrates the influence of social roles, which prescribe appropriate conduct in specific situations.Social...

Steps in Outbreak Investigation

Steps in Outbreak Investigation

In the ever-evolving field of public health, statistical analysis serves as a cornerstone for understanding and managing disease outbreaks. By leveraging various statistical tools, health professionals can predict potential outbreaks, analyze ongoing situations, and devise effective responses to mitigate impact. For that to happen, there are a few possible stages of the analysis:

Naturalistic Observations

Naturalistic Observations

If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

Area of Science:

Community Health
Mental Health Services Research

Background:

Community crisis response is critical, especially for marginalized groups.
Current crisis conceptualizations are often medicalized, neglecting structural factors.
Ontario, Canada serves as the case study context.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore community descriptions of crisis.
To examine the alignment between crisis understanding and community responses.
To challenge medicalized and carceral approaches to crisis care.

Main Methods:

Critical qualitative ethnographic case study approach.
Semi-structured interviews (n=53) and open-ended surveys (n=60).
Document analysis involving community members, organizations, and acute-care institutions.

Main Results:

Crisis is described as broad, inclusive, and self-defined.
Structural living conditions significantly impact crisis experiences.
Barriers to access and service-need mismatches create crises.
Conditions of care contribute to crisis situations.

Conclusions:

A broader conceptualization of crisis is needed, incorporating contextual, structural, and systemic factors.
Moving beyond biomedical reductionism is essential for effective crisis care.
Challenging medicalized and carceral systems can improve crisis response and prevention.
