Psychology Discussion 2

/in /by

 Cognition incorporates numerous variables that may affect how we learn. For this discussion address the following:

  • Explain social cognitive theory (SCT).
  • Evaluate the applicability of SCT to a real-life experience.
    • Hint: Is there something you know about or a behavior that you display that was learned from your social environment? Were you modeled this behavior? Did the learned knowledge or behavior have consequences that encouraged you to adopt it?
  • Evaluate your example by answering the following questions:
    • How does your learned knowledge or behavior potentially affect your developed schemata?
    • What if you learned that this knowledge or behavior was not accurate?
    • How hard would it be to adapt or accommodate?
  • SCT suggests that the environment affects our knowledge or behaviors. What does reciprocal determinism suggest and why is this important?
  • Share an example from your own experiences of reciprocal determinism.

Your initial post should be between 350 and 400 words. You must support your discussion by citing the required textbook. Cite all information from your sources according to APA guidelines as outlined in the APA Citing Within Your Papers (Links to an external site.) resource. List each of your sources at the end of your posting according to APA Style as shown in the sample page for APA: Formatting Your References List (Links to an external site.) resource.

There are two methods when it comes to evaluating the evidence in nursing. These methods are:
Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses
Systematic reviews are responsible for summarizing the results that are obtained from
research that has been carried out, in our case, controlled trials in the health care sector (Gough
& Richardson, 2018). It is from these summary that valid and reliable conclusions can be made on the matter under trial. Systematic reviews are done in such a way that the results of multiple
primary study cases that are strictly related to each other are synthesized by the use of strategies
that are meant to eliminate biases and error margin (Gough & Richardson, 2018).
Meta-analysis is a combination of numerical data from different primary sources that focused
on the same objective, to produce a single approximation based on all the sources (Burgess,
Thompson & CRP CHD Genetics Collaboration, 2016). This estimation is more accurate
because due to its nature of analyzing data from multiple sources. The researcher is in a position
to explain any inconsistencies in the case of their occurrence, quantify, and explore the
relationship between the data (Burgess, Thompson & CRP CHD Genetics Collaboration, 2016).
Furthermore, it is an efficient way of using pre-existing data.
Systematic reviews are well-detailed and transparent, whereas meta-analysis is simply
analyzing data implying the latter is a more time-consuming procedure (Hyun Kang, 2018).
There are times where systematic reviews would contain statistical data, but a meta-analyses
cannot include any overviews. Systematic reviews can consist of a narrative synthesis that
combines data that are very different, while meta-analysis cannot be used to analyze data that vary from each other. For instance, the age of children in a specific region only, without some other cases.

Re: Topic 3 DQ 2

Topic 3 DQ 2

Name two different methods for evaluating evidence. Compare and contrast these two methods.

According to Joseph (2019), the two methods of evaluating evidence are quantitative and qualitative approach. The quantitative methodology entails assessing the data and comparing the various measurements used in the study under consideration. Standard deviation, mean or average, and other statistical parameters are some of the metrics used in quantitative evidence evaluation. Furthermore, the quantitative requirements must be measured or use formal procedures for prediction, ensuring objectivity of the outcome and the variables used.

The assessment of the processes, meanings, experiences, and perceptions that research participants, including patients, have toward a particular variable under review is part of the conceptual framework used in qualitative ways of assessing evidence. As a result, no quantitative parameters are used in the qualitative method. Interpretation and application of emphatic comprehensions are used to assess relevant information, implying that the findings and variables are reliant on the research study’s context.

Deliverable 6 – Data Grain

Competency

Support proper formulation of decision-making criteria using Business Intelligence assets.

Instructions

You work for a tourism board at a top destination within the United States that among other tasks, acts as a third-party reseller of attraction tickets in one of the world’s top vacation destinations. The organization has an e-commerce presence where tickets are sold online, as well as a physical store location where people can go to purchase physical tickets in person. In all instances, the ticket purchases are recorded and referenced back to various marketing databases that allow the organization to see how well different promotional campaigns have done, which products sell better than others, and what time of year the sales are highest and lowest, to name but a few.Jeff, a junior financial analyst, conducts reviews of the ticket sales data with painstaking detail, often producing reports that show detail lines for each individual sale from the online web storefront and the physical store. Strategic decisions regarding sales are often made based on a few small examples of individual rows from the report and often do not always reflect the sales trends accurately.The board director does not see any issue with the reports that Jeff presents, in fact hailing his work as the best analysis he’s ever seen. You have been asked to discuss the current reporting practice with the board, including Jeff, in hopes you can offer some suggestions on how the data can be better presented, as well as explain why there is too much detail in the reports to support effective decision making.

The questions they are presenting you with include:

  • What is the major issue with how Jeff is using the data?
  • Why is too much data grain not necessarily a benefit to the decision-making process?
  • What might be a better measure of the success of ticket sales than line by line review of every ticket sold?

The task:

Record a presentation using the screen sharing Webware/software of your choice (an Internet search will reveal many free options). Your presentation can be recorded with your own voiceover and visuals, just as you would if you were giving the presentation live.Your presentation should explain the concepts contained within the DIKW Triangle. Explain how it applies in the decision-making process for ticket sales, as well as making suggestions on different report granularity, and how ticket sales data may be better presented through aggregation over months, quarters, and years.Create a summary report to accompany your presentation as a takeaway for your executive management team.

Competency

Analyze Technologies that enhance the human experience

 

Scenario

You are the training manager for a large manufacturing company that is planning a large renovation during a two-week shutdown. All of the equipment in the assembly area is being replaced, which will take the full two weeks.

As training manager, you are concerned about how you will train the workers in the assembly area as the new equipment will not be available until after the shutdown. By the end of the two-week renovation, the assembly employees must be trained and ready to begin work using the new equipment.

The manufacturer for the new equipment has suggested augmented reality (AR)/virtual reality (VR) might be a good training solution. The plant manager asks that you prepare a training plan to be shared with employees during the next plant meeting providing them the virtual reality retraining information. Be sure to support your recommendations with credible resources. Using the assigned readings in this module is a good starting point. Research databases are listed in the Resources area below.

Instructions

You are tasked with preparing a training plan proposal that will be distributed to leadership in the form of a PDF.

The training plan proposal should introduce the AR/VR training including the format and scope. It should discuss the advantages and concerns related to using AR/VR for retraining needs.

In Microsoft Word, create the training plan proposal and then save as a PDF. The training plan proposal should accomplish these objectives:

  • Introduce the training by name, purpose, scope, and format.
  • Examine how using AR/VR technology enhances the human experience during training and development.
  • Evaluate any concerns over using this AR/VR technology for retraining.
  • Compare this AR/VR retraining to a standard retraining process.
  • On an APA formatted reference page, cite supporting credible sources for your recommendations.

Mr. Clark was walking to Ms. Breeze’s residence approximately one block east of Mr. Clark’s residence. As Samuel Clark turned the corner, he observed two white men approaching him. A witness, Alan Skittles, identified the two men as Bubba Hurt and Skeeter Redrum. Both Bubba Hurt and Skeeter Redrum began yelling at Samuel Clark for him to leave Summer Breeze alone and that it was the “last time he put his hands on her.” It began to rain, so Samuel Clark opened his umbrella and continued to walk north on Felony Drive. Bubba Hurt shoved Samuel Clark from behind, causing Samuel Clark to fall to the sidewalk. When Samuel Clark began to pick himself up from the sidewalk, Skeeter Redrum kicked Samuel Clark in the face causing Samuel Clark to fall onto the street. While Samuel Clark was lying on his back in the street, Bubba Hurt began to kick Samuel Clark. In response, Samuel Clark grabbed his umbrella and swung, hitting Bubba Hurt in his eye. As Samuel Clark stood up, Summer Breeze hit Samuel Clark in the side of his head with her shoe rendering Samuel Clark unconscious. A witness to the incident contacted 911 to respond. Samuel Clark and Bubba Hurt were taken into custody and transported to the hospital. Summer Breeze and Skeeter Redrum were taken into custody and transported to the Police Headquarters. Bubba Hurt died at the hospital, and Samuel Clark suffered a permanent brain injury.

n a 750-word evaluation, assess the pressures affecting public sector budgeting designed to delivering public goods and services, evaluate the consequences of two externalities and their impact on public sector budgeting, and suggest the most practical way to study the fiscal impact of public sector budgeting

Thread Outline Use bolded statements as headings in your thread.

I.  Analyze the practical pressures affecting public sector budgeting designed for delivering public goods and services.

II.  Evaluate the consequences of two externalities and their impact on public sector budgeting.

III.  Suggest the most practical way to study the fiscal impact of public sector budgeting

A public good is a good or service that can be consumed simultaneously by everyone and from which no one can be excluded, even if they do not pay for it themselves.  It generally is paid for by a third party such as the government (taxes).  Public goods pose a free-rider problem that occurs when those who benefit from a public good (such as public roads or hospitals), or services do not pay for them or under-pay.

A private good is one for which those who do not pay for it can be excluded.

Externalities are a consequence of a governmental activity that affects other parties without this being reflected in the cost of the goods or services involved. Externalities by nature often are environmental. Some examples of negative externalities include:

  • Air pollution
  • Water pollution
  • Farm animal production
  • Passive smoking.
  • Traffic congestion
  • Noise pollution

Market failure is an inefficient allocation of resources. Government failure occurs when government intervention results in a more inefficient and wasteful allocation of resources.

Budgetarily, governments can intervene (1) through taxes and through subsidies.

Reply Prompt: Reply to two classmates’ threads taking the conversation deeper and expanding upon areas where you agree and disagree. Make sure that you support your assertions with scholarly and/or biblical references. Each reply must be 250 words, citations in APA format.
