*based on notes taken during my MSW on 07/29/2008

The culturally competent practitioner is one who has moved from being culturally unaware to being aware and sensitive to his or her own cultural heritage and to valuing and respecting difference

Quite likely, the simplest definition of culture is any shared beliefs and values. This definition lets culture be identified from the micro family level to the larger macro national level.

Determining a Studies Internal Validity

This post was written by Jacob Campbell on Sun, 02/12/2012 - 17:04 while they were in , and is filed under

Looking at a studies design helps to determine internal validity and causality in regards to the results of the study. It explains simply what you did to whom. The design of the study looks at the number of groups and measures, the independent and dependent variables, and whether the sample was randomly assigned.

The researcher can enhance internal validity by having a comparison group and a control group. Furthermore, randomly selecting and assigning participants can increase internal validity and reduce selection bias.

My name is Jacob Rodman Campbell VSP (the VSP stands for "Very Special Person" which is my given name and on my birth certificate). If you know me in a professional setting you might also see MSW on my name (Master's of Social Work) which is my professional degree. This website is a kind of playground for me. It was born out of being interested in graphic and webdesign and just wanting to learn how to do it.
