Psych 650 Culture And Psychopathology Powerpoint Presentation
Psych 650 Culture And Psychopathology Powerpoint Presentation
Prepare a 5- to 7-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation with speaker notes including the following information:
- Present a clear definition of psychopathology: Provide specific information and indicate your sources.
- How do clear definitions assist psychologists who are conducting research on mental disorders?
Elaborate on the following:
- Describe the advantages and disadvantages of classifying abnormal behavior using a diagnostic system.
- How has culture shaped our understanding of psychopathology?
- Use the concept of culture-bound syndrome and explain the role culture plays in our interpretation of behavior. Identify one example from a culture that may fit within the framework of culture-bound syndrome.
Cite at least five peer-reviewed sources.You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
