PSY 3010 Lecture Notes - Lecture 15: Underrepresented Group, Scientific Method
Document Summary
Preparing press releases teaching classes or workshops testifying at hearings. Writing handouts: what is family policy advocacy, to campaign for an underrepresented group or a particular policy alternative that may potentially enhance family well-being. Advocacy with a small a entails drawing policy attention to a particular group or issue but without lobbying for a particular policy position. For professionals who have a particular policy option they want to enact into law, advocacy is the approach most likely to achieve this goal. Frequent questions about the policy alternatives education approach. Is objective, bias-free policy education ever possible: even if complete objectivity cannot be achieved, educators can still embrace the ideal of objectivity and strive for it. If education is as objective and unbiased as possible, is it a politically neutral act: no policy effort is ever completely politically neutral. There is bias in the issues we choose to work on.
