IDENTIFY AND DISCUSS ONE OF THE MAIN CRITICISMS OF STRUCTURALISM.

Assignment 2: LASA 1: Impact of Structuralism

This week you read and learned about Titchener’s structuralism. As an approach, structuralism attempted to break down consciousness into elements of consciousness for study. It assumed that studying these parts of consciousness would lead to an understanding of the whole.

  • Analyze the limitations and strengths of the method of studying consciousness in parts.
  • Identify and discuss one of the main criticisms of structuralism.
  • Briefly compare and contrast structuralism and behavioralism. How did structuralism influence the creation of behaviorism?
  • How has structuralism impacted psychology today? As you consider this question, keep in mind the history and culture of the period in which Titchener practiced compared to your understanding of psychology today.

Write an essay that is 3-5 pages in length. Remember to support your arguments with information drawn from 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.

**Hint: a useful article for comparing and contrasting structuralism with behavioralism is found in the AUO library and referenced in your textbook:

Rilling, M. (2000). How the challenge of explaining learning influenced the origins and development of John B. Watson’s behaviors. The American Journal of Psychology, 113(2), 275-301. Retrieved fromhttp://search.proquest.com.libproxy.edmc.edu/docview/224842367/fulltext/12E26E325F56462A087/8?accountid=34899

The paper should be double-spaced 12-point typescript, Times Roman font, with 1-inch margins all around, and free from grammatical errors. Your paper needs to include a cover page, abstract, and reference list in APA format.

Self-Determination Theory/Cognitive Evaluation Theory

/in /by

Assignment 2: Applying Theories of Motivation to Situations

Over the decades, numerous theories of motivation have been developed. Most of the older theories have been shown to not be particularly valid and, therefore, not good predictors of motivational force. More contemporary theories can explain the motivational force in particular situations well. Therefore, industrial/organizational (I/O) psychologists must understand which theory best predicts/clarifies human motivation based on the particulars of the situation.

For this assignment, the following contemporary theories are considered:

  • Self-Determination Theory/Cognitive Evaluation Theory
  • Goal-Setting Theory
  • Self-Efficacy Theory
  • Reinforcement Theory
  • Equity Theory/Organizational Justice Theory
  • Expectancy Theory

Using the Argosy University online library resources, the readings for this module, and the Internet, review these contemporary theories of motivation. Then, correctly apply the appropriate theory to the following two scenarios:

  • A professional working for a major corporation is assigned goals each quarter. If all goals are achieved, a substantial bonus is paid. One quarter, workers review their new goals and make the determination that they are not likely to achieve all the goals.
  • A person works in a department with eight coworkers, and they all do the same job. They believe that one worker (who they know well) is receiving more perks and rewards than they are for the same amount and quality of work.

For each scenario:

  • State the selected theory of motivation that best applies to that scenario.
  • Summarize the theory chosen.
  • Explain how the theory selected explains/predicts motivational force.

Your final product should be a 3- to 4-page Microsoft Word document and should use a minimum of 3 sources from professional literature. Professional literature may include the Argosy University online library resources, relevant textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles, and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (.edu, .org, and .gov).

Be sure you write in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources.

Describe how the Family and Medical Leave Act has affected a supervisor’s ability to manage. Employment Laws

Describe how the Family and Medical Leave Act has affected a supervisor’s ability to manage.
Employment Laws

For this assignment, please answer all of the questions below in narrative format. Your answers should be 2 paragraphs in length.
Overview
The Family and Medical Leave Act is one of the more recent laws that were passed to benefit those who are working. The Act gives employees unpaid leave to handle circumstances where the employee needs to be away from work and protects their employment status. In the past, an employee that misses a lot of work would have to worry about their job. They would need to resign and when the situation was over, find a new job. The converse of this Act is the impact it could have on a manager in a department; while the employee is gone, the work still needs to be done.
Questions
Think about the impact of the Family and Medical Leave Act and answer the following two questions:
Describe how the Family and Medical Leave Act has affected a supervisor’s ability to manage.

Describe how the Family and Medical Leave Act has benefited an employee who needs to be away from work due to a terminally ill child.
You are the new manager of the Health Information Management Department. When you previously met the staff for the first time, you told all of them that if they have a question or a problem, to please come and see you. You mentioned you have an open door policy at all times.
After being in the position for several months, you overheard the staff talking, and one of them stated, “We were told she has an open door policy – that is not true. She is never in her office.”
What is usually the problem when a manager states, “I have an open door policy.”

Evidence-Based Change
Locate an article from a peer-reviewed nursing journal where a practice change was made based on research, preferably a change that could relate to your area of practice or organization. Note: You are seeking to find an evidence-based article that describes some change in practice that was based on research; this is all about applying research, not doing research. Thus, you are not looking for a research article, but you are looking for an article that uses evidence from research to make a change.
Describe the change made and comment on the strength of the research evidence utilized and the whether the change led to improved patient outcomes.
Note any barriers to change that were identified and how they were overcome.
End your discussion with a reflection on how this article is useful to you as you consider your role as an advanced practice nurse leading others to use the

Review this week’s Learning Resources, considering socialization agents that influence gender development and how these may differ across cultures.

/in /by

By this point in the course, you have explored theories that attempt to explain how and to what degree gender is socially constructed. This does not mean, however, that the socialization processes are the same for everyone or even that gender is defined similarly across groups. Just as conceptualizations of gender have changed over time, they are also different across cultures. Cultures range from patriarchal (e.g., Saudi Arabian culture) to matriarchal (e.g., the Akan of Ghana) and place differing importance on the roles of family, religion, education, and career for males and females. Different behaviors, aspects of appearance, and communication styles are also considered gender typical for males and females across cultures. Even the language spoken within a culture can influence gender socialization. For example, some languages (e.g., Spanish, Italian, Hindi) assign either male or female gender to nouns.
For this Discussion, you will examine gender socialization practices and agents in cultures other than your own. While you are conducting research, keep in mind that the literature reports trends and common practices but cannot account for individual differences in gender socialization within a culture. Keep an open mind but be sensitive and avoid stereotyping as much as possible.
To prepare

  • Review this week’s Learning Resources, considering socialization agents that influence gender development and how these may differ across cultures.
  • Select a culture to research for this Discussion. This should be a cultural group to which you yourself do not belong.
  • Locate information about gender socialization practices and agents within this culture using the Walden Library and reputable academic sources on the Internet.

  DISCUSSION 1 SUPPOSE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN ASKED BY AN EXPECTANT MOTHER TO EXPLA

Suppose that you have been asked by an expectant mother to explain what teratogens are and how they may affect prenatal and infant development. Select at least one teratogen and its possible effects to focus on. Offer the expectant mother information to learn more about avoiding teratogens and their effects. Provide resources you could share with her to illustrate your response.

Discussion 2

In this course, you will be identifying research articles and analyzing the research, so it is important that you understand the methods by which research is conducted. This discussion will draw from the other two media presentations (“Strengths and Limitations of Common Information-Gathering Methods” and “Strengths and Limitations of Research Designs”) from the Child Psychology Resources in this unit’s studies. Critique two research methods, focusing on the practical and ethical importance of these methods in child development. Then choose the one method you think is more practical and ethical and defend your position with research or your professional experience.
