Choice of Country

Brief Cultural Overview

2. Provide a brief cultural overview of the country to include

historical background language, religious beliefs, and other information you believe is pertinent. Provide references cited in parentheses by title only, immediately after the information presented.For example:(CountryWatch)

Codes of Cultural Behavior

3. Conduct additional research on the codes of cultural behavior in the country.Provide information on cultural “Do’s” and “Don’ts” for tourists.Analyze at least five “Do’s” and at least five “Don’ts” which document the codes of cultural behavior in the country that will assist tourists in avoiding conflict with the cultural values of the hosts.Again, discuss (not just list) the “Do’s” and “Don’ts” as a major component of this assignment.After each of the “Do’s” and “Don’ts” make certain that you provide the reference cited.The references may appear by title only, in parentheses, after each listing.For example: (CountryWatch)

Unusual Aspects of Culture

4. Explain which of the “Do’s” and which of the “Don’ts” seem most unusual to you and might contribute to your unease in the country you chose.

You must have a minimum of two online resources and two library reference works for a minimum total of four resources.Do not cut and paste material from the online resources.You must report the information in your own words.The Turnitin system detects direct plagiarism.Again, a total of at least four sources must be used.List these under the heading “References” at the end of this section as well as in the narrative of your answers as indicated above.It is not necessary, in this class, to provide the full citation (since it will be easier for you this way and I’m already familiar with the reference works).So, again, simply list your references by title of the work or http link.It is not necessary to use APA or MLA or other methods of attribution.Just the title of the work will suffice for the purposes of this class.Note:Use only credible online sources.Do not use Wikipedia.The more reference material you refer to, the higher quality your response will be, and will result in higher points.(Continued on next page)

I encourage you to go to the University library to complete this assignment where you will find all of the traditional reference works.The librarians are happy to assist you with this.Also, if you have any trouble with the online resources the librarians can provide help with that too.

psychology assignment on attribution errors

/in /by

Attributions are inferences that people draw about the causes of events, others’ behavior, and their own behavior.

Internal attributions ascribe the causes of behavior to personal dispositions, traits, abilities, and feelings (because of me). Ex: I got an A on the test because I studied hard and I’m smart.

External attributions ascribe the causes of behavior to situational demands and environmental constraints (because of something or someone else). Ex: I failed the test because the questions were confusing and the teacher didnt teach the material well.

**Explain and provide examples of the attribution errors discussed in the chapter (Fundamental Attribution Error and Self-Serving Bias).**

Attached are the notes for the examples of the attribution errors. 1 page double spaced. Thanks!

Assignment 2: Create an Action Plan for Your Goals

In Module 1, Assignment 3, you identified your goals and assessed their reality. Now it’s time to create an action plan to help you successfully achieve your goals. Think of a minimum of three intermediate goals to serve as milestones on the way to reaching each of your goals. Then, for each intermediate goal, identify at least two action items (changes that you can make) to help you achieve them.

Example:

Tom just received his yearly performance review. His manager mentioned that he consistently seems put off in meetings, and others feel that he has a bad attitude—he is not a team player. Tom is completely surprised because he enjoys his job, but he is more of an introvert than his coworkers are and does not express his emotions outwardly. As he reflects, he can recall many personal situations in which people have misunderstood his intentions or motives. He realizes that he needs to work on his nonverbal communication so that others will better understand him and stop seeing him as a person with a bad attitude or who is not a team player.

Tom develops his professional goal, identifies intermediate goals that will bring him closer to achieving his main goal, and includes the actions he must take to make it happen:

  • Professional Goal: Work on nonverbal communication so my words match my nonverbal cues.
    • Intermediate Goal 1: Take a course on interpersonal effectiveness.
      • Action Item 1: Review the course catalog to learn about the available courses about interpersonal effectiveness.
      • Action Item 2: Speak to academic advisor about when I can enroll.
    • Intermediate Goal 2: Practice conversations with myself—either talking to myself in the mirror or video recording conversations so I can see what others are seeing.
      • Learn to use the video record function my smart phone by asking a tech-savvy friend.
      • Action Item 2: Set aside ten minutes three times a week to practice using a positive tone of voice and facial expression when I speak.
    • Intermediate Goal 3: In each team meeting, remember to smile and offer positive feedback.
      • Action Item 1: At the very next team meeting, draw a smiley face on the top of my notebook to remind me to smile and make eye contact during the meeting.
      • Action Item 2: Plan to say one brief supportive statement to each co-worker as they present their weekly reports.

Each of these intermediate goals, along with their action items, will help Tom get one step closer to his overall professional goal—to improve his nonverbal communication.

You will create a similar action plan for your personal, academic, and professional goals. For each of your goals, come up with a minimum of three intermediate goals, Then, describe at least two action items for each intermediate goal. Each step should lead you toward achieving your goal. You can use this worksheet as a template for the assignment. This is your action plan.
