Alternative Theoretical Positions
Alternative Theoretical Positions
For this section, you will select two or more alternative theories
in personality psychology and address the following. (Be sure to review Part Two of your
research table to support this section.)
i. Compare the theory to alternative theoretical positions that are currently used by researchers in
personality psychology. For instance, how do their key concepts compare?
ii. Assess the extent to which these alternative positions challenge the validity, weaknesses, or
biases of your chosen theory. Be sure to cite specific examples from published research in your
response.
iii. Defend the contemporary use of the theory against the challenges you identified. Be sure to
support your defense with relevant research.
C. Application
i. Apply your selected theory in explaining a real-world problem (e.g., PTSD) or phenomenon (e.g., social media use). How would your theorist understand this problem or phenomenon in
terms of its root cause and key characteristics? Be sure to cite relevant research in your
response.
ii. Assess published secondary research for solutions with the potential to address this problem
or phenomenon. Does the contemporary use of your theory provide viable approaches to this
problem? What are they?
iii. Explain how this application relates to the theory’s larger contemporary relevance. In other
words, how does this application demonstrate your theory’s potential to advance knowledge in
personality psychology?
Role of the Nurse Informaticist in Systems Development and Implementation
Portfolio Assignment:
The Role of the Nurse Informaticist in Systems Development and Implementation
Assume you are a nurse manager on a unit where a new nursing documentation system is to be
implemented. You want to ensure that the system will be usable and acceptable for the nurses
impacted. You realize a nurse leader must be on the implementation team.
To Prepare:
Review the steps of the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and reflect on the scenario
presented.
Consider the benefits and challenges associated with involving a nurse leader on an
implementation team for health information technology.
The Assignment: (2-3 pages)
In preparation of filling this role, develop a 2- to 3-page role description for a graduate-level nurse
to guide his/her participation on the implementation team. The role description should be based
on the SDLC stages and tasks and should clearly define how this individual will participate in and
impact each of the following steps:
Planning and requirements definition
Analysis
Design of the new system
Implementation
Post-implementation support
