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?)

Although older Americans are most afraid of crime, it is young people who are more likely to be the actual victims of crime. It seems that older people are more cautious about the people with whom they associate. A national survey showed that 10% of all people ages 16-19 have been victims of crime.† At a high school, a random sample of
n = 65 students
(ages 16-19) showed that
r = 11
had been victims of a crime. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value a small amount and thereby produce a slightly more "conservative" answer.
(a) Do these data indicate that the population proportion of students in this school (ages 16-19) who have been victims of a crime is different (either way) from the national rate for this age group? Use
α = 0.05.

np > 5
and
nq > 5
are satisfied in this setting? Why is this important?(i) What is
the level of significance?

you making?
The standard normal, since np < 5 and nq < 5.The standard normal, since np > 5 and nq > 5. The Student's t, since np > 5 and nq > 5.The Student's t, since np < 5 and nq < 5.
What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer
to two decimal places.)

P-value > 0.5000.250 < P-value < 0.500 0.100 < P-value < 0.2500.050 < P-value < 0.1000.010 < P-value < 0.050P-value < 0.010
Sketch the sampling distribution and show the area corresponding to
the P-value.

significant at level α?
At the α = 0.05 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.At the α = 0.05 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.
