PSY 405 Module 1 Assignment 3 Interview of
Your Choice NEW
In order to really learn about interviewing, you
must practice doing interviews. There is no
substitute for direct experience in learning
about interviewing. This assignment will be the
first of several interviews you conduct during
this course.
Find a volunteer to role-play a client. The
purpose of this assignment is to introduce you to
the experience of formulating questions and
gathering information during a clinical
interview. You are not expected to have
mastered these skills in week 1 nor even by the

2. end of this course. Clinical interviewing is a skill
that requires a lot of practice and years of
training.
Here, you will simply interview the volunteer
who is role-playing a client that is having trouble
at work. Be sure to develop a plan for the
interview ahead of time. What is the purpose of
your interview? How will you achieve that
purpose?
Be sure to follow the ethical guidelines you have
read about, including competence,
confidentiality, and informed consent. The
interview should be at least 10 minutes in length
but no more than 20 minutes.
After you complete your interview, provide a
thoughtful discussion of the following:
How did you prepare for the interview? Be sure
to list the questions used in your interview and
provide a brief summary of the content of your
interview.
How long was the interview? How much effort
was required to keep the interview to the
required 10-20 minute timeframe?
What things made the interview difficult or
uncomfortable? Be as specific as possible. For
example, were there things you or your client

3. said or did during the interview that were
uncomfortable?
What factors made the interview welcoming and
comfortable? Again be as specific as possible.
Did you think you were effective in probing and
obtaining information?
As appropriate, cite the online content, the
textbook, and other credible, scholarly sources
to substantiate the points you are making.
Apply APA standards for writing and citations to
your work.

PSY 405 Module 2 Assignment 2 Prepare for an
Interview NEW
Assume you are employed as a counselor at your
local high school. You need to conduct a 30-
minute interview with a student who has
suddenly had a dramatic decline in her grades.
Prior to conducting any interview, it is extremely
important to plan its structure, the type of
information you hope to acquire, the timing and
sequencing of the interview, and the types of
questions you might want to ask. To prepare for
the interview, analyze the structure of the
interview and present a summary including the
following reasons for your choices:

5. Purpose of your interview
Discuss the topics you plan to cover and the
sequence in which you will cover them
Questions you will use to obtain the information
Opening techniques to build rapport with the
volunteer
Types and examples of questions you want to
avoid
In your discussion, please be sure you cite, at a
minimum, the online course and the text book
for the course. Your paper should be 2–3 pages
(not counting the cover and reference pages), be
APA formatted, and include a reference page.

PSY 405 Module 3 Assignment 2 Lasa 1 Create an
Interview Guide NEW
Lasa 1—Create an Interview Guide
Directions:
During the first week of class you conducted
your first practice interview. You have since had
the opportunity to learn about the formal
process of interviewing and the techniques used
in interviewing. With this new information in
mind, it is time to develop a detailed plan for
your second interview, which you may conduct
face-to-face or over the telephone. Your second
interview is broken down into two parts.

7. The first portion, preparing for the interview, is
due this week in Module 3 (LASA 1).
The second part of this assignment, conducting
and analyzing the interview, is due in Module 5
(LASA 2).
For this week you will be completing A. You will
need to:
Locate a Volunteer:
He/she will play the role of “client” seeking help
for persistent headaches and problems sleeping.
The person you interview can be someone you
know personally or you can contact your
classmates through the Student Lounge to
arrange to interview one another.
The client believes that stress may be part of the
problem with his/her symptoms. Remember
that this is a role play, and your volunteer should
be aware that this is a practice interview and not
a real psychological interview.
Prior to conducting your interview, ask your
volunteer to think about stress that s/he can
discuss related to the client’s problems (e.g.,
your client may think about stress from a job or
stress related to a relationship with a significant
other). However, DO NOT have your volunteer
discuss this stress with you prior to the

8. interview. You want to be able to explore this
topic in depth during your interview. This
scenario is intentionally left open-ended in order
to allow students to maximize opportunity to
utilize interview skills during the interview.
Create an Interview Guide:
In order to achieve a quality interview, you will
need to first plan your interview, which is this
week’s assignment (you will conduct and analyze
the interview in Module 5).
The purpose of your interview is to gather in-
depth information to aid in diagnosis and
treatment planning for the client. You will need
to gather detailed information about the
symptoms being reported for both headaches
and sleep problems (e.g., How often are the
headaches occurring? How long do they
last? What do they feel like? Has any treatment
helped? Is there any pattern to the
headaches?). You will also need to present a
complete picture of the patient. What is the
patient’s gender, age, marital status, and
employment status? Be sure to go beyond these
example questions, and provide an in-depth,
highly detailed interview with your client.
Interview Guide Topics

9. The Interview Guide should directly address the
below topics. Use each of these topics as
headings within your paper to ensure that you
directly respond to each. You should respond
with at least a paragraph for each topic/heading.
Identify and summarize the purpose of your
interview. How will the information you gather
be used?
Explain how you will structure the interview and
your reasoning behind the structuring of the
interview. Include a list of topics you plan to
cover.
Compose the questions you will use to obtain the
information (develop a minimum of 15-20
questions). Be sure that you develop a minimum
of 5 open and 5 closed ended questions.
Develop a minimum of 5 examples of
paraphrasing, summaries, or reflections
techniques that could be used during your
interview (must have at least one of each
paraphrase, summary, and reflection). When you
conduct your actual interview, these exact
examples you create may not fit depending on
the responses of your interviewee, but it is
important to start thinking now about how you
will incorporate these techniques. For this

10. Interview Guide assignment, develop
hypothetical examples of each type of technique.
Identify the opening techniques you will utilize
to build rapport with the volunteer/client.
Identify types/examples of questions you want
to avoid during interview.
Include an Analysis Summary:
In addition to the Interview Guide include an
analysis (2-3 paragraphs) of your own
preliminary thoughts about this client based on
the limited information you have about this
client. Have you ever known a person with
chronic headaches or sleep problems? What is
your “gut reaction” to hearing about a patient
with chronic headaches and problems sleeping?
That the person is a complainer? Is he/she a
victim of terrible illness? Spend some time
examining your thoughts and attitudes. It is
normal for all of us to make at least preliminary
assumptions about everyone we come in to
contact with, and a good interviewer has
awareness of his or her preliminary
assumptions. Include the following in your
analysis:
Identify your own beliefs (sympathetic,
unsympathetic, or some mixture of both) and
explain how these could affect your interview.

11. Do you think that your beliefs are influenced by
your own age, cultural, gender, sexual
orientation, or ethnicity?
Identify steps you can take to limit the impact of
your own beliefs on the interview. Be as specific
as possible.
Start planning now! Remember that you will
need a volunteer to role play your client in
Module 5. Work on identifying that person now
and scheduling your interview well in advance to
avoid any possible scheduling delays. You will
also need to audio or video record the interview
in Module 5 so that you can later transcribe the
interview. Make sure you have access to the
equipment you will need.
