Josefina, a Hispanic fourth grader, does well on homework
assignments. But when her teacher announces, "It's time for a REAL
test to see how well you know what you've learned," Josefina
usually gets grades that are significantly lower. Please use the
concept of stereotype threat to explain this inconsistency between
Josefina's mastery of her work on regular days compared with her
mastery of the same material on test days. Please include an
additional example of stereotype threat that comes from your own
life or imagination, and how it might impact someone's performance
negatively or positively.

We sometimes think of marriage as a romantic adventure in which two people in love are always thinking of the other person and seldom if ever have any fights or arguments. Virtually anyone who is or has been married will tell you that it is not like that. After reading Chapter 10 in the Lauer & Lauer text, think of a marriage with which you are fairly familiar and analyze how power is shared in that marriage and what role conflict plays in that relationship.

Motivating employee is of key concern to most firms, especially
those operating in the
competitive Ghanaian metal industrial environments. To these
firm-types, human resource is
considered unique, and the management of employees’ motivational
expectations is deemed a
prerequisite for organizational success. This mindset has
necessitated the need for such firms
to look for best ways of developing work-motivation systems at
their workplaces that are allencompassing
and which can have the potency to satisfy employees’
work-motivational
expectations and create the requisite driving forces in them
towards increased performances
and productivities.
Required:
Explain, with examples, the character of such work motivation
system, and the benefits it
stands to provide the firms, if it is well designed and managed.
Also argue with justifications,
how the design and management of the system should be
approached.

One of the measurements that can be used to determine a child’s developmental progression is to compare the child to the typical developmental milestones. Some examples of developmental milestones are when an infant first sits up, crawls, and walks. There are also developmental milestones for communication, emotional, and social development. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) provides some extensive information on developmental milestones for infants and young children. (Hint: Type "CDC: Developmental Milestones" into your preferred search engine.) Why is understanding a child’s developmental milestones so important, especially communication, social, and emotional development?

PLEASE ANSWER IF YOU KNOW!
How Grounded Is Your Love Life?
In a recent experiment, psychologists at University of Pittsburgh and the University of Waterloo in Canada decided to examine stability, turbulence and love. The researchers focused on stability because it is a term that has both literal and abstract meanings. Our bodies can be physically stable or they can be wobbly, and so can our intimate relationships. The study participants were 40 college students who reported being involved in a committed relationship that had lasted for at least a year. The researchers randomly assigned half of their volunteers to sit at a normal desk and the other half to sit at a workstation that had been subtly altered so that both the chair and the desk wiggled slightly. The volunteers individually completed questionnaires about their lives and romantic relationships, including whether they felt the relationship would last. The volunteers were alone in the room when they completed the questionnaire and were instructed to not put their name on the questionnaire. The ratings of perceived stability ranged from 1- 7 (1 = not at all likely to last to 7 = certain this relationship will last). A participant could report any number between 1 and 7 on that scale. The students who had been seated at the unstable workstations were much more likely to perceive instability in their love lives (mean = 4.17) than were the students whose chairs and work spaces didn’t waver (mean = 4.93). There is a statistically significant difference between these means (t(38) = 3.64; p<0.05).
