PSYC 421 Interviewing Presentation

PSYC 421 Interviewing Presentation

You will create a PowerPoint or Prezi (prezi.com) presentation that overviews how to properly conduct a psychological interview.

Content: You will be graded on how well you integrate course content and research into your presentation. For full credit, you must include the key principles of interviewing (e.g., preparation, introductions, open vs. closed questions, professionalism, etc.). You may focus on interviews with a certain population (e.g., families in crisis, individuals with disabilities, children, etc.) or present on interviewing in general.

Resources:

• Although research focused, many good tips can be found here: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/559/04/.
• Another thorough resource related to psychological interviews with families and children can be found at: http://centerforchildwelfare.fmhi.usf.edu/kb/PreServiceCurriculum/Core%20115_INT_PG_030111.pdf
• Your book covers interviews on pp. 9–10, 495–501, and 506–507.

Presentation: You will be graded on the “aesthetics” of your presentation (graphics, clarity, interest, etc.).

This assignment is due by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Monday of Module/Week 7.
