Discussion reply class

Respond to at least two of your colleagues posts and continue the Discussion through Day 7 by providing an example or personal experience that illustrates one of the points made by your colleague. Refer back to the Purpose, Audience, and Evidence media program to review the personal experience illustration to guide you. Further explain to your colleague this example from a personal experience perspective. first colleague post For this discussion, I choose to review the article Valsiner, J. (2019). Culture & psychology: 25 constructive yearsLinks to an external site.. Culture & Psychology, 25(4), 429469. Links to an external site. All writing serves a purpose, most commonly to inform, persuade, or entertain. Within scholarly articles, the purpose most often is to inform, and at times, persuade the reader that the author’s conclusion is correct. The purpose of the article I chose was to inform the reader of topics covered by the journal Culture & Psychology. The audience informs the style of writing and how you present your information. Scholarly articles are written for other scholars and individuals in the field with similar backgrounds. In this situation, the audience is readers and writers of the journal. The presence of bias is important in informing the reader of the lense the article is written. Most scholarly articles will state if there is any bias for the reader to be aware of. “The author(s) declared no potential conflicts of interest with respect to the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article.” (Valsiner 2019) was the declared bias for my target article. Readers assume that the quality of evidence of scholarly writing is present and documented. The quality of evidence lends to the credibly of your claim, and without it your writing is meaningless. Most of the evidence in the article was from the journal itself, with very few outside sources. These concepts are important to writing and communication in the field of psychology. Having a clear sense of purpose and audience guides your writing style. Writings without these can lose focus and can be hard to read as they attempt to cater to different audiences. In today’s news climate, the ability to read an article for evidence and bias is crucial in using critical thinking and making informed decisions. While more informal writing can have lower quality and may have more bias, it is an expectation in the world of academia to write without bias, to a scholarly audience, with high-quality evidence. 2 discussion post Good Evening! The articles I selected collected research on the effectiveness of two models of applied behavior analysis (ABA) used with children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The purpose of the article is clearly defined as comparing two outcomes between two ABA service delivery models in a real world setting such as a community based setting. Establishing a clear purpose is important in scholarly writing because it helps to guide the reader’s with understanding of what research aims to accomplish and why the findings matter to the field of psychology. The intended audience for this article includes behavior analysts, student analyst, researchers, and other professional working with children on the spectrum. The authors use professional terminology and assume the reader has foundational knowledge of ABA principles. Understanding the audience is important because it influences how information is presented including the level of details, the tone, and language. In Psychology, writing for the right audience ensures the research is communicated effectively and care be useful as those may apply the results to their current practices. The authors address bias by using objective measurements tools and data based comparisons rather than personal opinions. Although no research can be completely free from any bias, the use of standardized assessments and clear variables help strengthen the objectivity of the findings. The quality of evidence in the article is strong because it is based on empirical data collected in real world settings. Measurable outcomes like skill aquisition and behavior reduction allow for consistent comparisons between the two ABA models, enabling readers to evaluate effectiveness based on data rather than assumptions. Together, purpose, audience, bias, and evidence support ethical communication and evidence based practices.
