Assignment 3: Cultural Influence in Business Psychology

Mark Jones, a Production Manager, has been transferred from the manufacturing plant in his hometown of Chicago to his company’s overseas manufacturing plant in Osaka, Japan.

You are the company’s I-O psychologist. Using Hofstede’s Five Basic Elements of Culture Distinction, write an e-mail message to the Vice President (VP) of Production discussing at least three cultural differences that Mark will experience in managing front-line plant workers in Japan in contrast to in the United States. Also address how cultural differences may play a role in individual differences Mark will experience. 

Your e-mail message should also include at least three recommendations on how managers can take up overseas tasks with minimum transition problems. State the rationale for your recommendations.

Because the VP of Production is a busy individual, restrict your e-mail message to one to two pages. Type the e-mail message in Microsoft Word, and send it to the Submissions Area by the due date assigned.

Where appropriate, use structured text—bold format, headings, bulleted lists, and graphics—to clarify your meaning and to make your document easier to read.  Remember texting language will not be acceptable.

Psychopathy

Are investigators in tune with the differences between the personalities of a psychopathic spy and a nonpsychopathic spy? If not, who else might be in tune with these types of spies? Wait, that’s us—forensic psychologists! We are the experts in psychopathy!

You cannot get through a graduate program in forensic psychology without researching seminal works on the construct of psychopathy, such as Hervey M. Cleckley’s work and Robert D. Hare’s Psychopathy Checklist. If you are not familiar with the construct of psychopathy, be sure to research the term in the University online library resources. Research found in peer-reviewed psychological journals can provide you with knowledge on this construct and the leading researchers in the field.

Using at least three scholarly resources from the professional literature, research the construct of psychopathy and methods for interrogating psychopaths. Consider how a forensic psychologist could assist a CI investigator in distinguishing a psychopathic spy from a nonpsychopathic spy. The literature may include the University online library resources; relevant textbooks; peer-reviewed journal articles; and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (.edu, .org, or .gov).

Tasks:

Create a 5- to 7-page paper responding to the following: Summarize the results of your research to demonstrate your understanding of the construct of psychopathy. Be sure to cite your sources in APA format. Once you have presented a thorough working knowledge of psychopathy, explain how it may affect the actions of those who will try to commit treason. What psychopathic traits might be useful to have in CI investigators who have to interrogate these individuals? Imagine you are the consulting psychologist to a CI investigator who is about to interrogate a suspect. This suspect has demonstrated many of the traits you have learned are associated with psychopathy. How would you advise the investigator? What interrogation strategies would you suggest? Consider the ethical implications of these strategies.

Mini-Project: Hand Coding Data

/in /by

Day 1 this week:
  Review the reading in and Qualitative Research and Evaluation Methods.

Complete Interactive Exercise A-Amanda at http://onlineqda.hud.ac.uk/Intro_QDA/how_what_to_code.php. In this exercise, you can practice coding lines of text and compare your answers to those of an “expert researcher.” You may also wish to explore Interactive Exercise B-Karen, in which you are asked to develop your own codes for lines of text.

Your instructor will place you into pairs for this Discussion and post that information as an announcement by Day 1 of this week.

Gather the live data you collected for the interview assignment last week. With your partner, decide whose data to use for this activity. Send the data to the partner who needs it.

Day 2 this week:
  Apply principles of coding to hand coding data. Each partner should hand code the selected data independently. What codes would you use? What text should go with those codes? How did you decide? Send your coding results to your partner.

Compare your coding results to those of your partner (consider using the chat function within the classroom to “converse” with your partner). What coding structure and strategies did you and your partner use? How are they similar and different?

Reflect on what issues of quality arise with hand coding data.

In this part of the assignment your mission, should you decide to accept it, (like you have a choice) will be to create a contract. This assignment requires that you come up with a contract on your own and that might actually be used by you in your life. Think about your life and what areas may need some clarification. Maybe you want to clarify your rights and responsibilities of being a boyfriend, girlfriend, or between parents and children. Maybe it deals with where you work and the fact that co-workers need to pull their own weight and you would like to reassign the responsibilities of the office… Anything that needs “fixing” is something a contract can be used for.
