    Lab #2Personality and Motivation

    Introduction

    Locus of control is discussed in Chapter 12. People with an internal locus of control believe reward depends on their own behaviour while those with an external locus of control see reward as dependent on chance or fate.

    Achievement motivation is discussed in Chapter 11. Research suggests that the motive to achieve success and the motive to avoid failure are different but related aspects of what motivates us to undertake tasks.

    Your job is to write a paragraph providing some background information about these variables that lead to the hypotheses. There is much more information on these topics than what is in your text.

    Hypotheses

    Your first task is to determine a reasonable hypothesis (prediction) for the relationship you expect between locus of control and achievement motivation. You need to make two predictions: one for each aspect of motivation. You may develop a further hypothesis if you wish.

    Method

    Subjects:

    Again we are going to analyse the data for 10 subjects but your job is to give the psychological tests to one subject. You must then submit your findings to the teaching assistant who will post them on D2L. Send your name and the scores for each variable: external locus of control, motive to achieve success and motive to avoid failure. Also include the age, and gender of your subject. If you submit these two weeks ahead of the due date, you will earn two points; one week ahead, you can earn one point.

    Materials:

    Procedure:Each subject should complete both scales. Half the subjects should be given the Locus of Control Scale first; the other half should begin with the Motivation Scale.

    Results

    1. Score the Locus of Control Scale. The internal alternative is on the left. The external is on the right. Give one point for every external choice. The higher the score, the more external the locus of control. Scores can range between 0 and 10.
    2. Score the Motivation Scale. Add the scores for the odd questions (1, 3, 5, 7, 9). This is the score for motive to achieve success. Now add the even items (2, 4, 6, 8, 10). This is the motive to avoid failure score. For each scale, scores can range between 5 and 35.
    3. In a table, report the data for the 10 subjects for Locus of Control, motive to achieve success, and motive to avoid failure. Also provide the mean scores for the three variables.
    4. Plot scattergrams for the Locus of Control score and each of the achievement scores. (You should have 10 points of data in each plot.) Scatterplots are discussed in Chapter 1. Interpret the relationships shown in the scattergrams in terms of strength and direction.

    Discussion

    1. We scored our scale to reflect external locus of control. What does that tell us about internal locus of control? Could we have scored our scale to reflect internal locus of control instead?
    2. Discuss the relationship between Locus of Control and achievement motivation. Did your scatterplots confirm your predictions?
    3. Should peoples scores on the two motives differ? Did they? Why?
    4. You might design further experiments or include other research you have read.
    5. If you made further predictions, be sure to discuss them.

  • Writing Question

    Read the section in your textbook on Baumrind’s parenting styles (p. 98-100). This section discusses three distinct parenting styles and outcomes. Here is a very brief description of the three styles discussed:

    1. Authoritarian: strict rules, little rationale given for the rules, because I say so, rules are enforced with punishment
    2. Overly Permissive: few rules, rare punishment, child given too much autonomy and independence at too early of an age
    3. Authoritative: parent as authority figure, provides good explanations for rules, free discussion of rules with child, children more involved, tend to use reinforcement more than punishment
    For this weeks assignment, please address the following questions, making sure to include factual, properly cited information in your post:
    What parenting and discipline style(s) did your parents or caregivers use with you? Please include a rationale for your view, including an explanation of how it fits the stated parenting styles. How do you think it has impacted your life? After reading the research, would you choose the same or a different method to raise your own children? Please explain your responses.
    Directions:
    1. Write at least 250 words about this topic and be sure to answer all 3 questions listed above.
    2. Make sure to cite a source in your journal assignment using APA style. The source may be your textbook or any other source you research.

    Requirements: 1000

  • WEEK 6 DISCUSSION 1

    This discussion thread is designed to help you see how a synthesis of sources essay, or literature review, is organized.

    Please download the article, “Converging Recommendations for Culturally Responsive Literacy Practices: Students with Learning Disabilities, English Language Learners, and Socioculturally Diverse Learners,” by Susan V. Piazza, Shaila Rao, and Maria Selena Protacio. The article is available in the following link: . https://learn.umgc.edu/content/enforced/1381558-003683-01-2262-US1-6382/Converging%20Recommendations.pdf

    On pages 1-4, the authors provide an introduction to the research study they conducted including a discussion of the theoretical background and methodology. On pages 5-7, the authors discuss the review process and an analysis of the sources reviewed. On pages 8-13, the authors consider and evaluate the research findings and provide the conclusions. Please read over the literature review and take notes on the material provided.

    Then answer the following questions:

    1. In the first paragraph, do the authors ever give you their opinion on the “instructional recommendations for culturally responsive literacy practices?” How many different sources do they cite in this section?
    2. From pages 8-13, the authors discuss different best practices for a culturally responsive teaching environment. Identify the five specific strategies that they discussed. In this section, are the authors introducing original strategies for the culturally responsive classroom?
    3. Examine the section entitled “Dialogue” (pp. 8-9). What are the two recommendations discussed for the use of dialogue in culturally responsive ways? On page 8, Kim, et. al (2006) present collaborative strategic reading as a way to help students develop literacy skills. Please name some of the other recommendations for dialogue between students and teachers that follow this source. How do the other recommendations relate to the ideas proposed by Kim, et. al (2006)? Remember to cite the sources in your response.
    4. As a result of having read this article, please write a few sentences about what you might have learned about a) synthesizing sources or b) culturally responsive teaching practices for diverse populations.

    Assignment 4

    Lab #2Personality and Motivation

    Introduction

    Locus of control is discussed in Chapter 12. People with an internal locus of control believe reward depends on their own behaviour while those with an external locus of control see reward as dependent on chance or fate.

    Achievement motivation is discussed in Chapter 11. Research suggests that the motive to achieve success and the motive to avoid failure are different but related aspects of what motivates us to undertake tasks.

    Your job is to write a paragraph providing some background information about these variables that lead to the hypotheses. There is much more information on these topics than what is in your text.

    Hypotheses

    Your first task is to determine a reasonable hypothesis (prediction) for the relationship you expect between locus of control and achievement motivation. You need to make two predictions: one for each aspect of motivation. You may develop a further hypothesis if you wish.

    Method

    Subjects:

    Again we are going to analyse the data for 10 subjects but your job is to give the psychological tests to one subject. You must then submit your findings to the teaching assistant who will post them on D2L. Send your name and the scores for each variable: external locus of control, motive to achieve success and motive to avoid failure. Also include the age, and gender of your subject. If you submit these two weeks ahead of the due date, you will earn two points; one week ahead, you can earn one point.

    Materials: Locus of Control Scale

    Motivation Scale

    Procedure:Each subject should complete both scales. Half the subjects should be given the Locus of Control Scale first; the other half should begin with the Motivation Scale.

    Results

    1. Score the Locus of Control Scale. The internal alternative is on the left. The external is on the right. Give one point for every external choice. The higher the score, the more external the locus of control. Scores can range between 0 and 10.
    2. Score the Motivation Scale. Add the scores for the odd questions (1, 3, 5, 7, 9). This is the score for motive to achieve success. Now add the even items (2, 4, 6, 8, 10). This is the motive to avoid failure score. For each scale, scores can range between 5 and 35.
    3. In a table, report the data for the 10 subjects for Locus of Control, motive to achieve success, and motive to avoid failure. Also provide the mean scores for the three variables.
    4. Plot scattergrams for the Locus of Control score and each of the achievement scores. (You should have 10 points of data in each plot.) Scatterplots are discussed in Chapter 1. Interpret the relationships shown in the scattergrams in terms of strength and direction.

    Discussion

    1. We scored our scale to reflect external locus of control. What does that tell us about the internal locus of control? Could we have scored our scale to reflect internal locus of control instead?
    2. Discuss the relationship between Locus of Control and achievement motivation. Did your scatterplots confirm your predictions?
    3. Should peoples scores on the two motives differ? Did they? Why?
    4. You might design further experiments or include other research you have read.
    5. If you made further predictions, be sure to discuss them.
