Employee Attitudes
Employee attitudes are one of the many components that contribute to the overall health and well being of an individual within an organization. Think about the best and the worst boss you have ever had (if you have never had a boss, interview a friend or family member who has had one). How did your attitude shape the affective and behavioral components in the workplace? Of the theories we have discussed throughout the course, which one(s) assist in explaining poor leadership/management and its effects in an organization?
Your initial post should be a minimum of 250-300 words. You must use at least one scholarly, peer-reviewed source that was published within the past five years and is cited according to APA guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
Prejudice has traditionally been assumed to be the product of some form of malice, brought about by social or emotional forces. In recent years, however, there has been increasing research on how prejudice can result from cognitive processes, without malicious intent. Discuss how and why cognitive processes can produce prejudice. Once stereotypes and prejudices are formed, how do they come to be self-perpetuating?
Hi
I need help creating a journal entry using the five qualities of “DAPPS: Dated, Achievable, Personal, Positive, and Specific)
Here’s my professors announcement on this assignment (PS: Please refer to rubric that’s attached)
Success Strategies
How to Set a Goal (DAPPS)
To be effective, a goal needs five qualities. You can remember them by applying the DAPPS rule. “DAPPS” is an acronym, a memory device in which each letter of the word stands for one of five qualities:
Dated. Effective goals have specific deadlines. A short-term goal usually has a deadline within a few months. A long-term goal generally has a deadline of a year or more, maybe even five or ten years away. As this date approaches, your motivation typically increases. This energy helps you finish strong. If you don’t meet your deadline, you have an opportunity to examine what went wrong and create a new plan. Without a deadline, you might stretch the pursuit of a goal over your whole life, never reaching it.
Achievable. Effective goals are realistic. It’s unrealistic to say you’ll complete a marathon next week if your idea of a monster workout has been jogging around the block a few times a week. Still, if you’re going to err, err on the side of optimism. When you set goals at the outer reaches of your present ability, stretching to reach them causes you to grow. Listen to other people’s advice, but trust yourself to know what is achievable for you. Apply this guideline: “Is achieving the goal at least 50 percent believable to me?” If so, go for it.
Personal. Effective goals are your goals, not someone else’s. Ask yourself if your current goals contribute to your personal dreams. If not, trade them in for goals of your own. You don’t want to be lying on your deathbed some day and realize you have lived someone else’s live. Trust that you know better than anyone else which goals and dreams are right for you.
Positive. Effective goals focus on what you do want rather than on what you don’t want. So translate negative goals into positive goals. For example, a negative goal to stop being later to classes becomes a positive goal to arrive on time to every class. I recall a race car driver who explained how he miraculously kept his spinning car from smashing into the retaining wall: “I kept my eye on the track, not the wall.” Focus your thoughts and actions on where you do want to go rather than on where you don’t want to go, and you, too, will stay on course.
Specific. Effective goals state outcomes in specific, measurable terms. It’s not enough to say, “My goal is to do better this semester” or “My goal is to work harder at my job.” How will you know if you’ve achieved these goals? What concrete evidence will you have? Revise your goals: “I will achieve a 3.5 or better grade average this semester. On my job, I will volunteer for all offerings of overtime.” Being specific keeps you from fooling yourself into believing you’ve achieved a goal when, in fact, you haven’t.
Read the article “USA Patriot Act-Defense Against Terrorism or Restriction of Liberties?”
After you have read the article, state which of the arguments you believe is most convincing. Use specific examples from the article. The post must consist of two paragraphs: In the first paragraph, explain which side of the argument is more convincing, in the second, mention at lease one reason from the side that you do not agree with and explain why.
discussion must be at least 200 words.
Imagine a baby learning words for the first time from immediate family members and close relatives. Picture a group of adolescents preparing for an exam in a second language. Envision adults using language-learning software before travel to a foreign country. Consider the effects of biology and environment on language acquisition in these examples.Compare the ease of learning one’s native language as a child to the acquisition of a second language as a teenager or an adult. Do some individuals pick up new languages more easily than others? Do some children acquire language skills more readily? What might answers to these questions indicate as to the contributions of biological and environmental factors to language acquisition?For this Discussion, select one biological and one environmental factor that influence native and second language acquisition. Consider how each factor might influence both native and second language acquisition.With these thoughts in mind:Post a description of the biological and environmental factors that you selected. Then explain how each might influence native and second language acquisition. Provide examples to support your response.Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.

You had the chance earlier in the week to perform an article critique on correlation and simple linear regression and obtain peer feedback. Hopefully you are excited about the potential these tests hold; equally important is that you recognize some of their weaknesses. Now, it is once again time to put all of that good brainstorming to use and answer a social research question with the correlation and simple linear regression. As you begin the Assignment, be sure and pay close attention to the assumptions of the test. Specifically, make sure that your variables are metric level variables that can easily be interpreted in these tests.For this Assignment, you will examine correlation and bivariate regression testing.To prepare for this Assignment:· Review this week’s Learning Resources and media program related to regression and correlation.· Using the SPSS software, open the Afrobarometer dataset or the High School Longitudinal Study dataset (whichever you choose) found in the Learning Resources for this week.· Based on the dataset you chose, construct a research question that can be answered with a Pearson correlation and bivariate regression.· Once you perform your correlation and bivariate regression analysis, review Chapter 11 of the Wagner text to understand how to copy and paste your output into your Word document.For this Assignment:Write a 2- to 3-paragraph analysis of your correlation and bivariate regression results for each research question. Do not forget to evaluate if the correlation and bivariate regression assumptions are met and report the effect size. In your analysis, display the data for the output. Based on your results, provide an explanation of what the implications of social change might be.Use proper APA format, citations, and referencing for your analysis, research question, and display of output.Assignment: Testing for Correlation and Bivariate Regression
