The Project Two Milestone will prepare you for Project Two by helping you understand the research context for your analysis. Thinking critically about what questions youre trying to answer will help you decide what you expect to observe and which tests are best suited for measuring what you actually observe. First, consider the following scenario.

Scenario

You work for a market research company that supplies information for political non-profit organizations throughout the nation. A number of your clients are interested in the public perception of policies about sexual orientation. After organizing relevant GSS data, youve identified four possible research questions to investigate.

To complete the Project Two Milestone, youll download and review the data, create an action strategy for each research question below, and then choose one research question to analyze in more detail for Project Two (which is due in Module Seven).Step 1: Download the Data

Click the link below to download the General Social Survey (GSS) data youll use for this milestone, then open the spreadsheet in Excel.

Download the data sets to begin the Project Two Milestone.

Step 2: Review Coding Details

This screenshot of an Excel spreadsheet shows a cursor hovering over cell A1, which contains the variable Confidence in Education. A dialog box includes the range of possible answers of survey respondents for this variable: 0 = No confidence at all, 1 = Very little confidence, 2 = Some confidence, 3 = A great deal of confidence, and 4 = Complete confidence.

The Project Two Data Sets spreadsheet includes four separate data sets, one for each research question below. Use the tabs at the bottom of the spreadsheet to switch between each data set.

To see how a particular variable was coded, select the cell containing the variable name. Youll use these coding details to decide which data set corresponds with each question.

Step 3: Create Action Strategies

Once youve identified which data correspond with each research question, youll need to create four separate strategies for analyzing the data. For this milestone, you do not need to compute any statistics. Youll simply explain how youwoulduse statistics to investigate each question.

For each research question, use the writing template below to identify both a relevantresearch hypothesisand the most appropriateinferential testyou would use to test that hypothesis.

Create Action Strategies for Each Research Question

Use this template and the information in the Project Two Data Sets spreadsheet to explain how you might use statistics to answer each of the four research questions.

Carl Rogers is one of the founders of humanistic psychology, an approach to psychology that emphasizes the idea that people have the capacity and potential for growth. In this discussion, you will reflect on Rogerss contributions to phenomenological psychology, particularly how analyzing ones true self is an essential aspect of understanding personality. Before completing this discussion, review Ch. 5, Phenomenological Theory: The Personality Theory of Rogers, and Ch. 6, Rogerss Phenomenological Theory: Applications, Related Theoretical Conceptions, and Contemporary Research, in your textbook. Respond to the following: According to Carl Rogers, what is the significance of congruence between self and experience? How does this concept provide insight into an individuals personality? How do we manage incongruence? Provide a personal example of a situation in which you worked through inconsistency between self and experience and address the following: How might the incongruence have impacted your emotions and behaviors in the situation? What are some internal and external factors that would have helped you feel more congruence in the situation? Response Requirements By Thursday, respond to the prompt above in a minimum of 175 words. By Monday, post a total of 3 substantive responses over 2 separate days for full participation. This includes your initial post and 2 replies to classmates or your faculty member.

Description

The sociological perspective on identity is distinctly social constructionist in orientation.

In your own words (but drawing from the textbook and other available readings or viewings in the course), why is it significantly different to think about identity in this way as opposed to the essentialist perspective? For example, how does adopting a social constructionist point of view change your thinking about your own identity and sense of self?

Length: minimum of 250 words

Employment Law Issues

PART A: In Chapter 3, you learned that drug testing, office and locker searches, psychological testing, and electronic surveillance can pose potential legal problems due to invasion of privacy. In the following examples, indicate whether you think an invasion of privacy occurred.

A. A retail store places cameras in each corner of the store to prevent shoplifting and employee theft. The only place the cameras cant see are the dressing rooms. Is this an invasion of privacy? Why or why not?

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

B. During a polygraph test, a police department asks applicants how many people they slept with in the past five years. Is this an invasion of privacy? Why or why not?

D. Siesta County has a new drug testing policy in which, weekly, it will require 30 randomly chosen employees to provide a urine sample. To ensure that the employees are not cheating, a monitor will observe the employee as he or she provides the urine specimen. Is this an invasion of privacy? Why or why not?

part 2:Click the link to read the article and respond to the following questions:

What is your impression of Human Resources at your current job or one you have had previously? Do you believe a pay gap exists? What do you think about this article about Walmart? Why is there still continued pay discrimination against women and sometimes minorities in this country?

your discussion board I’d like you to answer the following questions: What did you learn about memory (in general) that you did not know before? Cite specific information from the video and/or your course text in your response. What did you learn about your own memory from taking the quiz? Do you feel the quiz was confirmation on what you already knew about yourself and your memory or did the results not really align with how you see your memory working on a daily basis? Discuss where your strengths and areas of concern lie. Are you excellent with short term memory but struggle recalling long term facts/ideas? When you take tests, do you notice that it easier for you to recall or recognize the information you are being tested on? Why do you think this is? What have you learned in the text that support or discredits your own theory of how your memory works? Cite at least two areas from the text in this section that support your personal theory of memory. There has been talk, for some time, about developing a drug that could alter a person’s memory. In certain cases (war, rape, severe trauma) do you think editing a person’s memory would be beneficial in today’s society?
