Overview of Assignment: Redefining Identity through Assimilation
So far, you have explored how individual racial and ethnic identities develop. You discovered that racial and ethnic identities are influenced by social processes. Racial and ethnic identities are also influenced by customs and language common to your culture. Next, you will examine how an immigrant may redefine his identity when he moves to a new country with a culture different from his home country.
When an immigrant moves to a new country, he may or may not assimilate into the new culture. If he chooses to assimilate, he disconnects from his original culture and adopts the customs, language, and other characteristics of his adopted culture. If he does not assimilate, he stays separate from the new culture and maintains his native customs, language, and the other characteristics of his culture. The article, “The Pressure to Cover” and the Asian Nation website article provide a more in-depth description of assimilation.
The choice to assimilate or not to assimilate determines whether or not an immigrant maintains his identity or redefines it. In this Assignment, non-immigrants refer to those who are native to the country to which an immigrant relocates. In the assigned readings, you will consider different points of view that relate to assimilation and redefining identity.
To prepare for this assignment:

*Review the article “The Pressure to Cover.” Pay particular attention to the concept of assimilation.
*Review the “Assimilation and Ethnic Identity” article on the Asian Nation Web site. Focus on connections between assimilation and ethnic identity.
*Consider one advantage and one disadvantage of assimilation from the perspective of an immigrant.
*Think about one advantage and one disadvantage of assimilation from the perspective of a non-immigrant.
*Reflect on how assimilation can influence immigrants to redefine their identity.

The Assignment (1-page), APA style format, No Plagiarism and must be cited with references. Thank you

Essay, Psychology

Read and comment on the research methods used in an original research study (Part 1); write a brief summary of the article that would be suitable as a ‘press release’ for the general public (Part 2); and formulate a research question

In your response to Part I,comment on the research methods employed in your chosen article. You should address the following questions:
Does the article describe correlational or experimental research? How do you know? Are there implications for drawing causal conclusions?
What was the population of interest and how was the sample drawn from the population? Are there issues about generalizing from the sample to the population or beyond?
What was the central (main) hypothesis or central (main) research question?
What are the variables involved in the research? Is it possible to identify which are independent and which are dependent variables?
Are there internal and/or external validity issues involved?
Are there ethical issues involved?
Your response to Part 1 should be no more than 500 words
As you can tell from reading your chosen article, scientific writing can be hard to understand for non-experts. A major challenge for psychologists and other scientists is to communicate their research findings to the general public in a way that is accessible, informative, and interesting. For Part 2 of your written assignment, you are asked to write a press release for your chosen article in which the details and major findings of the paper are communicated in a simple and interesting way. You should use as little scientific jargon as possible, and you should use your own words instead of using direct quotes. As you will see from the example below (taken from a website that is constantly updating new and exciting scientific research), the press release starts by grabbing your attention, briefly describes the methodology and findings, and goes on to discuss the implications of the article. For further examples of real-life press releases, please consult: http://www.eurekalert.org/bysubject/social.php
Your press release should be no more than 300 words.
Scientific articles contributes to the literature by either summarizing previous data (“review articles”) or providing new data (“empirical articles”). A general goal of both types of articles is to spark new ideas and hypotheses about brain, mind, and behaviour. In Part 3, propose a research study that asks a new question on the topic of your chosen article. You should address all of the following issues in the description of your proposed study:
o What is your research question?
o What is your hypothesis (i.e., what result do you expect to find)?
o Who will take part in your study?
o What will the study involve (tasks, materials, procedure)?
o Is the study experimental or correlational?
o If the study is experimental: What will you manipulate (IV)? What will you measure (DV)?
o If the study is correlational: What variables will you measure?
o How will you rule out alternative explanations of the data?
o Comment on your study’s external validity.
o Why is your study important? In other words, if you obtain your hypothesized findings, what will it mean (i.e., what is the significance)?
o What ethical issues do you need to consider?

******************************************************************1. Summary: After listing the name of the book and author, summarize the book concisely in 500 “tight” words (no more than 2 pages). Prove that you comprehend the reading by writing a no-nonsense summary. The summary is not a commentary or listing of topics, but rather a heartfelt, condensed, insightful synopsis of the longer, more elaborate book. Cite the book in text at least once per paragraph, and include page numbers for direct quotations. ************************************
2. Concrete Responses: Be vulnerable! In at least 250 words (no more than one page), write about a personal life episode that this book triggered in your memory. Relate your story in first person, describing action and quoting exact words you remember hearing or saying. In the teaching style of Jesus, this is your own parable, case study, and confession. You will remember almost nothing you have read unless you make this critical, personal connection. When reading the book, what video memory began to play in your mind? This is your chance to tell your story and generate new ideas.*************************************************
3. Reflection: What new questions arise for you in response to what you have read? Take notes as you read. Outsmart the author by asking better questions than he did. Begin with questions like, “What troubles me about this book?” Discuss the positives and negatives about the book. Limit this section to 250 words (no more than one page). ****************************************************
4. Action: What are you going to do about it? Develop action steps based on core points of the book. This section must be a description of how main ideas will affect your counseling. What professional changes will you implement and share with others? Be precise in summarizing your action steps.
