Please see attached for it contains the questions for the quiz. It is 5 questions In this quiz, you will be provided summaries of five studies in social psychology. For each study described below, select the correct answer to the multiple-choice and short-answer questions. For all of the five studies, identify the specific research method from the multiple-choice list of options. If it is a quantitative study, identify the independent and dependent variables and determine the hypothesis.If it is a qualitative study, identify the concept or phenomenon of interest being explored. Researchers (Dexter et al., 1998) wanted to know what impact, if any, the consumption of violent movies has on attitudes toward women. Participants at a large, midwestern university viewed either (a) a slasher film daily for 1 week, (b) Three slasher films in 1 week, or (c) a George Pierrot adventure travelogue. Slasher films feature the slicing and dicing of young women’s bodies (e.g., The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, 1974). In the week following the film viewing, all participants were escorted to the campus law school where they were asked to observe law students try a rape case in a mock trial; participants’ task was to evaluate the performance of all parties to the trial. A Likert-style questionnaire (1=not at all; 9=extremely) completed by participants included evaluations of the respective attorneys, the defendant, and the accuser. Examples were:A pair of psychologists are interested in the effects of mood in helping (based on Isen & Levin, 1972). They give participants free tickets to a happy movie. They then have a confederate drop papers in front of the people who just got out of the movie, and people who are only walking by and have not just seen a happy movie for free. The researchers watch to see if the participants help pick up the dropped papers.Researchers are interested in personal experiences of Indian adolescent girls with regard to gender discrimination and how they feel about the discrimination (Sarkar, 2003). All of the participants used in this study are female. Participants are interviewed with a set of semi-structured, open ended questions in an individual setting and in focus groups.Researchers (Reifman, Larrick, & Fein, 1991) were interested in the factors causing aggression. They looked at an entire baseball season’s worth of news reports. For each game, they recorded the temperature of the locale and the number of batters who were hit by pitched balls.Researchers are interested in influences on self-esteem. Half of the participants used in this study are male and half are female. Participants are given a set of anagram problems to solve in a 5-minute period. Half are randomly assigned to receive very easy anagrams and half are given difficult ones. After completing as many of the anagrams as they can, participants are given a questionnaire labeled “Thoughts and Feelings Questionnaire” that is really a measure of self-esteem.How sympathetic is she/he?How attractive is she/he?How intelligent is she/he?How likeable is she/he?

Discussion TopicIn previous Discussion Boards, you have had the opportunity to identify the antecedents and consequences of target behaviors and hypothesize the probable functions of target behaviors based upon the controlling variables. You have also reviewed the process of identifying the level and trend of data through visual analyses of graphic displays. In this discussion, you will identify the controlling variables of target behaviors in three scenarios. Then, you will discuss modifications to the antecedent and/or consequences to affect behavior change.Scenario #1Brian is 7-years-old. He had a great time at recess and is just settling back in his desk in the classroom when Mrs. Jenkins directs the students to take out their math worksheets and complete problems 1 through 15.Brian immediately throws his pencil toward the front of the room, slides out of his desk, and begins screaming, “I won’t do it!” at the top of his lungs.Mrs. Jenkins walks to Brian’s desk and tells him that he must settle down and do his work – and not disturb his classmates. Brian screams louder and begins banging the heels of his shoes against the floor.Mrs. Jenkins tells Brian to come with her, and takes his arm and leads him out of the class to “Brian’s time-out desk” in the hallway. Suddenly, Brian settles down and stops screaming.For Scenario #1, discuss the contingencies involved in Brian’s target behavior. Address the following in your discussion:The antecedent that triggered Brian’s target behaviorThe consequence of the target behaviorThe probable function of the target behaviorThe type of consequence this is (positive or negative reinforcement; positive or negative punishment)The likelihood of the target behavior repeating in the futureHow you would alter either the antecedent or consequence to modify the target behaviorScenario #2Jenny hates to do homework! Fifth grade is too hard. The teacher gives her hours and hours of homework every night! She is sick of it! Mr. Griffin phoned Jenny’s mother that afternoon and reported that Jenny has not turned in her homework for the last two weeks. He was concerned that there might be something wrong that is preventing her from completing her assignments.Jenny’s mother thanked Mr. Griffin for the phone call because she did not realize that Jenny was not completing her assignments. She explained that Jenny has never had this much homework before and that she seems to be having a difficult time adjusting to the work load. She assures Mr. Griffin that she will work on this.That afternoon, Jenny’s mother picked her up from school and told her about Mr. Griffin’s phone call. She sympathized with Jenny’s workload but explained that now that she is in middle school, she would have more work to do. She is growing up and she can expect teachers to push her a little harder. Jenny always plays video games after dinner. Her mother told her that if she did not complete her homework before dinner, she would not be able to play her games after dinner.All went well for two days. Then, Mr. Griffin called to say that Jenny did not turn in her homework that morning. When Jenny’s mom picked her up, she explained to Jenny that she would not be able to play her video games after dinner that night because she did not submit her homework to Mr. Griffin that day.For Scenario #2, discuss the contingencies involved in Jenny’s target behavior. Address the following in your discussion:The antecedent of the target behaviorThe target behavior (identification)The immediate consequence of the target behaviorThe probable function of the target behaviorThe type of consequence that Jenny’s mother designed (positive or negative reinforcement; positive or negative punishment)How a motivating operation could be used to increase the effectiveness of this consequenceThe likelihood of the target behavior repeating in the future based upon Jenny’s mother’s consequenceHow you would modify Jenny’s behaviorScenario #3Joanna was assessed for Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) just two months ago. She had trouble completing her work and following the teacher’s instructions throughout 2nd grade and her mother decided to seek a doctor’s guidance before she began school again in the fall.The doctor ran some tests and had Joanna’s parents and 2nd grade teacher fill out some questionnaires regarding Joanna’s behaviors. Dr. Palmer said that she may be borderline ADD, but he would not recommend medication at this time. He felt that the teacher should use some behavioral approaches to try to maintain Joanna’s focus first. Then, if that did not seem to help, he would prescribe something.Joanna’s mother began doing some research on applied behavior analysis and found a study that was done several decades ago about a device that could be placed on a student’s desk that could be controlled remotely by the teacher. This device acts as a prompt when the student’s attention wanders and brings the student back to the current task. When the teacher notices the student’s attention wandering from the task, he/she uses the remote control to turn on the light on the small device on the student’s desk. This makes the task more noticeable and the student returns to the work. Joanna’s mother thought she would send a copy of the study to Joanna’s teacher. Perhaps that would be all the help Joanna would need to maintain her focus.For Scenario #3, identify the type of prompt (response or stimulus prompt) Joanna’s mother read about that could be used in the classroom. Address the following in your discussion:Explain how this type of prompt influences behavior.Discuss how you would transfer stimulus control from the remote-controlled prompt to more natural contingencies.Reading and ResourcesUnit 8 focuses on the basic “agents” of behavior change, i.e., antecedent modifications, reinforcement, punishment, and extinction. You will examine the conditions that must exist in order for a stimulus to gain control as a discriminative stimulus (SD). Then, you will explore the principle of extinction and the causes of extinction bursts and spontaneous recovery. Finally, you will review the problems associated with punishment, as well as the Behavior Analyst Certification Board’s (BACB’s) ethical guidelines regarding punishment. As you approach the Unit 8 assignments and activities, you will want to reflect on the information you have covered in previous courses.Textbooks and supplemental readings/materials from the following courses that may be helpful include the following:PS360: Applied Behavior Analysis IPS365: Applied Behavior Analysis IIPS385: Targeted Topics in Applied Behavior AnalysisPS410: Screening and AssessmentYou will also find it helpful to review the Behavior Analyst Certification Board’s “Professional and Ethical Compliance Code for Behavior Analysts.”
