DESCRIBE YOUR PREFERRED LEADERSHIP STYLE, IDENTIFYING HOW YOUR CHRISTIAN WORLDVIEW MAY BE FOUND IN THE DESCRIPTION

Theories of psychology are, in many ways, a product of the context that they come from. We have discussed the role of culture, cohort, and environment in identifying factors that create differences in behavior and thought. A robust theory of psychology can address universal (culture free) and individual (culture specific) differences in explaining the HOW and WHY of behavior. For this assignment, you will be addressing the following cultural scenarios and will need to evaluate psychological theories from this new point of view:

Television images, movies and glamour magazines promote the elderly as role models. Your sense of self- esteem is tied to how “old” you are perceived as, with success in work and relationships based on age related criteria. Younger members of a group are marginalized and clear messages about the value of age are communicated with even very young members of society (children). There are industries in your society dedicated to helping provide society with valued markers of age (think hair dye and plastic surgery to age individuals). Imagine what your experiences would have been growing up and how your sense of identity would be like as a college student.

For this assignment, please reflect on what ways such a situation might affect their personal experiences. (What would be different, specifically?) Next, speculate how the theories in the field of psychology might be changed as a result. Describe this in terms of at least three approaches or theories in psychology (Freud, Piaget, Social Learning, Milgram, Zimbardo, etc.) You will need to discuss why these changes would impact their experiences and the world at large (ex., would Freud be more widely accepted without the changes in access to education for women in the 30s and 40s that gave women more status and would current theories of personality be different due to this change. Think about if these changes in the world would have altered the theories of psychology and what a specific alternate theory would look like.

Students will need to discuss this hypothetical change using the
WHAT, HOW, AND WHY
format.
o
WHAT is different based on the change (in terms of your personal experiences and
culture).
o
HOW is psychology different? (What in the research that we have discussed holds
true and what does not? Would we still find the same results? Would research or
theories look different? Would a different cultural norm produce a different
explanation of thought and behavior and what does that say about the role of culture
in how we explain behavior or thought?)

National Geographic did a short piece on lying where they reported on some recent research conducted by a Communication Studies professor on the reasons people lie. Below are six of those reasons. For each type of reason, assume that the person who has told the lies has told them all before.

For each kind of lie, identify if the telling of the lie (that's the operant) has been positively reinforced, negatively reinforced, positively punished or negatively punished. Explain why you chose the type of reinforcement or punishment that you did.

a. Lied to cover up a personal transgression, e.g. lied to keep an affair from becoming public

b. Lied to avoid someone, e.g., lied to get off the phone with someone you don’t want to talk to c. Lied for financial gain, e.g., lied on a tax return to get a bigger tax refund

d. Lied for non-monetary benefits, e.g., lied to get people to vote for you

e. Lied to make a good impression, e.g., lied on an online dating profile so more people will say yes when you ask to meet them

f. Lied to be polite, e.g., lied about liking someone’s shirt to avoid making the person feel bad
