Part two: Expectancy-Value Theory and Cultural Considerations Your training participants already know about the statistics of bullying and other facts and figures. Your job is to develop an interactive one-day training that applies the expectancy value theory. What can you do with a small group of middle school kids so you get the information you need about bullying from the students’ viewpoints? Consider the influence of cultural characteristics of young adolescents in middle school and the demographics of your community that would be reflected in your audience of peer mentors. Note: You are not required to conduct an actual training. To prepare: Imagine the following scenario: You are a consultant who specializes in anti-bullying strategies. You are part of a team and others have already given their presentations to the middle school students in your community who are part of a peer-mentoring program. Your role is to engage students as anti-bullying mentors and to present strategies based on the expectancy-value theory that they can use to positively influence their peers’ attitudes and behavior. Review the reading in the text on the expectancy-value approach to attitudes.Review the Learning Resources with information on bullying, including cyber bullying. Consider information and statistics that you would include in a persuasive presentation to students. https://class.waldenu.edu/bbcswebdav/institution/USW1/201910_05/BS_PSYC/PSYC_3007_WC/artifacts/Middle_School_Bullying_Student_Reported_Perceptions_and_Prevalence.pdfResearch sources online to determine the incidence of bullying, including cyberbullying, locally or, if more appropriate, within the state of Mississippi or region.Review the Learning Resources on middle school culture.
