Problem
Evaluating case studies is a common way to demonstrate concepts and terms used in courses. A usual problem would ask you to read a case study and evaluate the situation based on what you learned from your course and text readings. However, for this problem, you will identify the main concepts and terms learned in the online lectures and textbook readings and create a fictional case study (do not relate this to actual individuals).
You will use the following guidelines while writing your case study:
1) Background: You need to describe the demographics of individuals involved in the case study such as their age, gender, occupation, education, relationships, and family history.
2) The case story: You need to describe a scenario using third person in which an individual engages in behavior demonstrating issues related to self-esteem, self-efficacy, or locus of control.
3) Analysis of the case: You need to utilize the information learned from the online lectures and text readings to analyze the case study. Be specific in your analysis using supporting evidence from outside sources when needed.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
