Blake has developed a new measure of personality to assess what personality type people have. It is called the “Blockbuster Personality Type” measure. The measure includes images from the top ten most popular Hollywood movies in the last ten years and asks respondents to describe what is happening in the scenes. Responses are scored in terms of how consistent they are with the original movies, and how much respondents show empathy for the different characters in the scenes. As a result of this scoring, respondents are classified as either being either “active heroes”, “passive victims”, or “conniving villains”, reflecting the hidden desires and goals that they were born with.
Blake wants to encourage people to use the test for selection and recruitment in organisations around the world, so he collects information about the test’s reliability and validity. He asks his first-year psychology class to take the test at the start of semester and at the end of semester and compares their scores for a measure of reliability. To test validity, he uses scores on the test to predict how well his students do in their university studies.
Question: What are some of the issues with what Blake has done? How could he have designed and evaluated his test in a better way? For each issue you identify, explain why it is an issue and how it could be improved.

Discussion (200 to 250 words based on the following
case)
Consider the following Hill Country Community Hospital case
study:
Hill Country Community Hospital is a 100-bed acute-care facility in
rural Texas. The hospital has served the local community for over
40 years but has experienced financial decline over the past 3
years. Hospital administrators believe that the best way to cut
costs is to terminate all contracts with staff physicians and allow
a large, Dallas-based physician group to take over in-hospital
patient care. The move would quickly solve the current budget
crisis, even enabling the hospital to show a profit for the fiscal
year. However, community residents are strongly opposed to the
plan, as they have always been accustomed to receiving in-hospital
care from their family physicians. The proposed move is creating
public relations problems, with both external and internal
audiences. Employees are also highly resistant to the change, as
they fear that their jobs may also be outsourced and that bringing
in outsiders to provide patient care will ruin the hospital’s
reputation. This is creating emotional labor, poor morale, and
increased patient complaints. As resistance is a natural
phenomenon, understanding and working with it effectively is key to
successful organizational consultation. It is essential for the OD
practitioner or consultant to recognize and deal with resistance
that is derived from psychological needs and wants. There are also
elements that have been shown to stimulate “normal” resistance and
therefore should also be considered during the consultation
process.
Post a response to the following:
Identify, analyze, and discuss the various types of resistance affecting the Hill Country Community Hospital and its various stakeholder groups. What do you see as the root cause of this resistance?

Employers today use a variety of tools to screen potential job applicants. One tool that is being used by some is the use of personality tests. Employers also seek out information available on the Web in areas such as social media sites. Some employees have even been let go as a result of something they posted on social media. Take some time and do some research online (such as through a Google search) and see what more you can learn about how employers are using these types of resources and personality tests then provide your thoughts on whether or not you support the use of these personality tests and information available via the web (such as through social media) being used in the recruitment process.
Provide supporting reasons as to why you believe or don't believe these should be used in the workplace.

Many individuals have been to a corner market in a city and noticed soggy lettuce, a moldy cucumber or other far from fresh produce being offered to that community in that specific area. Until now, many may not have known that this is what is referred to as a Food Desert. Why is it that we do not see similar grocery stores in these areas as we do in more rural communities? As a result, what does this do to the health and well-being of the thousands of people living in that community? Discuss Food Deserts in this Discussion Thread focusing on why they exist in the first place and how we can improve the situation for generations to come.
