  • Psyc 2520 Social Psychology in Action

    In this assessment, you are asked to create a (two-sided) fact sheet on a public policy.

    Social psychology is the branch of psychology focused on developing a broad understanding of how human beings think, act, and feel within a social context. In this assessment, we will examine how other people influence the way we present ourselves and our attitudes. Well also think about how we can persuade others and the factors that lead to conformity, compliance, and obedience. Humans live in a social world; better understanding how we are influenced by others (and how we personally influence the people around us) will not only help us understand ourselves more but also help us understand further the dynamics we witness each day across a variety of social settings from home, to school, to the workplace.

    In this assessment you are asked to create a (two-sided) fact sheet on a public policy. Using social psychology concepts, explore why people may choose not to follow your selected policy. Finally, you will identify how to encourage people to comply with that policy.

    1. Start by choosing a public policy or law to focus on. Choose one of the following options:
      • Motorcycle helmet laws.
      • Speed limits.
      • Age restrictions for alcohol consumption.
      • Drug policies.
      • Littering bans/laws.
      • Jaywalking laws.
      • If you have an idea for another policy, check with your courseroom faculty and get permission.
    2. Review Template Lab’s tips for creating fact sheets on the following reading list: . You can also use the as a guide.
    3. Find one peer-reviewed research article in the on conformity, compliance, or obedience related to laws or public policies.

    Create a (two-sided) fact sheet for the general public that includes:

    • Brief description of the public policy.
    • Resistance to public policy:
      • 12 social cognition concepts that lead to resistance to this public policy or resistance to following this public policy.
      • One concept related to presentation of self that leads to resistance to this public policy.
    • Encouraging compliance:
      • One idea to persuade people to accept this public policy (using a persuasion concept).
      • One idea on how to get compliance (using a conformity, compliance, or obedience concept).
      • Describe research findings from a peer-reviewed research article.
    • Brief description of psychologys role in developing, designing, and disseminating public policy.
    • Include your references in a footer and use in-text citations.

    • Written communication: Written communication is in professional style with correct grammar, usage, and mechanics.
    • Resources: Use a minimum of two sources: your textbook and one peer-reviewed journal article.
    • APA formatting: References and citations are formatted according to APA style and formatting.
      • Refer to for guidance in using proper APA style. See the section of the Writing Center for instructions on using Academic Writer.
    • Length: Two single-spaced, typed pages.
    • Font and font size: No smaller than a 10 pt. font.

    By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and scoring guide criteria:

    • Competency 1: Apply psychological principles to topics in social psychology.

  • Hello, I am stuck on this homework. If you could please help…

    Case Study: You are the newly appointed supervisor at a mid-sized technology company that has recently undergone a major restructuring. Your team consists of employees with diverse levels of experience and motivation. The company is currently working on a new product launch, and each team members performance is crucial to the projects success.

    Team Overview:

    • Emma: A new software developer who has just joined the team. She is enthusiastic but lacks experience with the specific technologies used in the project.
    • John: An experienced software engineer who has been with the company for several years. He is highly skilled but has shown signs of disengagement recently.
    • Lena: A senior developer who has a high level of competence and motivation. She is confident in her abilities and often takes initiative in projects.
    • Mike: A mid-level developer with good skills but fluctuating motivation. He often requires additional encouragement to stay focused.

    For your assignment, discuss the following:

    • Identify Supervisory Styles: Based on the information provided about each team member, identify which of the four supervisory styles (directing, coaching, supporting, delegating) would be most appropriate for each individual. Explain your reasoning for each choice.
    • Develop a Supervision Plan: Create a detailed supervision plan for each team member. Your plan should include specific actions and strategies you would implement to align your leadership style with their needs. Consider how you would address their current level of competence and motivation, and how you might adjust your approach over time.
    • Evaluate Challenges and Solutions: Discuss potential challenges you might face in applying situational supervision effectively. How would you overcome these challenges? Consider aspects such as continuous assessment, adjusting supervisory styles, and balancing support with autonomy.
    • Reflect on Outcomes: Predict the potential outcomes of your supervision plan for each team member. How might your approach impact their performance, job satisfaction, and overall contribution to the project? Reflect on how situational supervision could contribute to the success of the product launch and the overall team dynamics.

  • Differential Reinforcement to Decrease Problem Behavior

    While many parents and teachers may have used some variant of the differential reinforcement method to decrease problem behavior in children, their measure of success might have improved if they fully understood the underlying principles of what makes this method of decreasing problem behavior effective.

    For this Discussion, you will consider how differential reinforcement works to change behavior. In addition, you will identify current literature to support the use of differential reinforcement.

    To Prepare

    • Review the Learning Resources for this week, including the required weekly media programs, to explore differential reinforcement to decrease problem behavior. Note: It is critical for you to review all media for this week prior to completing this Discussion.

  • Write two responses

    1. Birth order refers to the position a child holds in their family (firstborn, middle child, youngest, or only child). Early psychologist Alfred Adler believed that birth order could influence personality because children assume different roles and face different expectations within the family. For example, firstborn children may become more responsible or achievement-oriented because they often receive more parental attention early in life, while later-born children may become more sociable or risk-taking because they grow up with older siblings as role models (Sulloway, 1996; Rohrer et al., 2015). Some research suggests that these differences occur because parents treat children differently depending on their birth order, which may influence behavior and development over time.

    However, modern psychological research shows that birth order has very little lasting effect on personality traits. Large studies comparing siblings within families found no consistent differences in the major personality traits such as extraversion, agreeableness, or emotional stability. The only small difference sometimes observed is that firstborns may score slightly higher on measures of intelligence or self-reported intellect, but even these differences are usually very small and not meaningful in everyday life (Damian & Roberts, 2015; Rohrer et al., 2015).

    In my personal experience, I can see how birth order may influence behavior in several ways. For example, I am the eldest sibling, which meant there were certain expectations placed on me immediately, like to help take care of my younger siblings. It was a responsibility that I naturally inherited because of my birth order. The expectation bar was set high for me to be a proper role model for them, which created pressure to always set a good example. There was also the challenge of being the first child, meaning parents sometimes make their earliest parenting mistakes with you while learning along the way. On the other hand, my younger siblings developed more relaxed personalities because they grew up observing me and avoiding many of the responsibilities that I had already taken on. However, they also developed traits such as being more aggressive or shy at times due to the constant comparisons between us. They often faced pressure to escape the shadow of my achievements and failures, with expectations like be like your big brother or dont be like your older brother. This can make it harder for younger siblings to be seen as individuals rather than being constantly compared. While birth order may shape certain childhood experiences, personality is likely influenced more strongly by factors such as environment, life experiences, and individual choices and challenges.

    2. Birth order and Personality studies have circulated since Alfred Adler, the founder of Individual Psychology Theory, first focused attention on the two relationships in 1928, describing how the role of birth order shapes personality, characteristics and traits (Sultan, Hina, and Subha Malik., summer 2023).

    The firstborn are high achievers and competitive; they are rule-conscious, self-reliant, striving for perfection. Parents pour all their attention and love on the firstborn to ensure the child has everything. As additional siblings come along, the firstborn begin to learn leadership skills, imitating their parents in looking out for their younger siblings and upholding family traditions. As long as the firstborn is not made to feel neglected, in which case pessimism, rigidity, and criticism may take hold, they will become strong adults later in life (Ansbacher & Ansbacher, 1956). Now the second child, acting as if in a race to overtake the first child, will try to adjust, become sociable and flexible, wanting to be different from the first child, whether good or bad. If the firstborn appears to be smarter, better, it may cause the second child to feel unsure of themselves and their abilities (Trapp, L. A., 2008, Winter). For the lastborn, Adler stated that parents over-indulge and pamper the child into adolescence and well into adulthood so that the child is self-centered, dependent, and immature. However, should the child feel inferior to other siblings, there is a drive so strong that a self-determined, independent sibling emerges (Adler, 1926; Ansbacher & Ansbacher, 1956). The Lastborn can develop good social and diplomatic skills, even generous and independent (Trapp, L.A., 2008, Winter).

    (Trapp, L. A. 2008, Winter) describes the Only Child as pampered and spoiled, enjoys being the center of attention, feels unfairly treated when they dont get their way, and may refuse to cooperate. I can remember behaving in all these ways as an Only child. My parents, dare I say, were hyper-focused on me. Not a day went by that I felt unseen. Growing up, I recall feeling more grown-up than my friends with siblings. My mother relied on me to help her communicate with others, as English is her second language. I remember helping her navigate the hallways of a hospital, looking out for the next bus, or assisting in filling out forms. Responsible, mature and dependable- this is the only child.

    The above is a simplified version of the relationship between birth order and personality. Offering a quick insight into a persons personality. However, other studies indicate its much more, including ones own development through the ages, the environment, and life experiences that shape you into you (Trapp, L. A. 2008, Winter).
