Perception can be conceived of as a synthesis of multiple factors. Is mindset a factor that can influence perception? Why or why not? Consider the video in which Carol Dweck discussed the open mindset as a journey. What do you believe she meant by this conceptualization? How does this notion run contrary to the fixed mindset and stereotyping of modern society? Does the conceptualization of an open mindset support or refute your position regarding mindset as a factor in perception? Explain.

Eyewitness identification is one of the least reliable types of evidence. Explain why this is so and provide an example of how an eyewitness can tend to be error-prone? In detail.

reflect on Fournies' statement that all behavior is a result of associated consequences. The assertion is that people will continue to do things that result in positive consequences and will stop doing things that have negative consequences. What do you think about that? Can you think of examples that may prove that theory wrong? Smoking cigarettes, alcoholism, and drug addiction are wrought with negative consequences, yet people still participate in those activities despite the consequences. How can that be differentiated from what Fournies is talking about? Please include your thoughts on this topic as well.

I am looking for Health Psychological studies where placebos have been used?

Researchers and practitioners have long asserted that task-related conflict can be beneficial by stimulating creativity and critical thinking in group decision making. However, two recent studies examining the effects of task-related conflict across multiple studies failed to find support for an overall positive relationship between task conflict and group performance. These findings led researchers Scheepers and Jehn to delve a little deeper into the relationships between task conflict, relationship conflict, and decision making. They found that when relationship conflict was present during task conflict, group members were more likely to rigidly hold onto less than optimal starting positions during group interactions, leading to poor decision outcomes. The findings suggest that task conflict is neither universally good nor universally bad. Instead, its potential benefits in group decision making may depend on whether relationship conflict is also present.(p 243) Why is relationship conflict so detrimental to group decision making? Why can task conflict be potentially beneficial? What can you do as managers to facilitate potentially beneficial conflict while minimizing potentially detrimental conflict?
