Gender — Emotions

/in /by

Assignment: Gender — Emotions

What is the truth about males and females and their feelings and expression of emotion? The story is that women are emotional and freely express those emotions while men either don’t have feelings or, if they do, do not express them. Even if this generalization were true, factors in addition to gender are at play, including the general culture in which each gender is raised and the expectations for behavior within that culture.

In this Application Assignment, you will analyze the differences in emotion and emotional expression between men and women and explore factors that may influence these differences, including the environment, society, and culture.

To prepare for this assignment:

  • Review Chapter 7 of the course text,Gender: Psychological Perspectives. Focus both on what the various studies and assessment results say about gender differences in specific cognitive abilities, as well as potential factors that might influence these differences.
  • Review the article, “Cross-Cultural Differences in Children’s Emotional Reactions to a Disappointing Situation.” Focus on this article as one example of what may be reasons for differences in emotional expression across cultures.
  • Think about ways in which emotions impact individuals and their relationships with others in work situations, school situations, and in family and personal relationships.
  • Consider how men and women you know typically respond emotionally. How are they similar and how are they different?
  • Think about what contributes to differences that do exist between the men and women you know. What role, if any, does culture play in the differences? What is the expectation or stereotype associated with the response of each gender?
  • Reflect on the impact of emotional responses or lack thereof on individuals and on society as a whole.

The assignment (3 –5 pages):

  • Briefly explain one way in which emotion impacts others in a specific situation (in a meeting at work, in the classroom at school, on the team in sports, family dynamics, intimate relationships, etc.)
  • Choose one emotion in particular, and analyze gender differences in this emotion by addressing the following:
    • Briefly explain how the expectation or stereotype related to this emotion—the experience and expression of it—is different for each gender.
    • Briefly explain where the expectation or stereotype of this emotional feeling and expression come from.
  • Pick one culture that is different from your own in terms of expectations of emotion and gender. Explain how emotional expression is similar and different for this culture compared to your own.
  • Explain any conclusions or insights you have about gender and emotion based on your completion of this Assignment.

Note:Be sure to protect the identity of any persons you describe.Note:Support the responses within your Assignment with evidence from the assigned Learning Resources, including in-text citations. Provide a reference list for resources you used for this Assignment.

theoretical perspective and current research on cognitive dissonance theory

/in /by

Applying theories to learning and instruction becomes problematic when theories contradict one another. For example, while cognitive dissonance theory asserts that beliefs and behaviors can influence attitudes, social attribution theory holds that people make causal inferences to explain others behaviors, actions, and mental states. In this assignment, you will contrast cognitive dissonance theory and social attribution theory, and you will consider how cognitive dissonance theory and attribution theory could be applied to improve learning and instruction. You will also consider the potential for personal worldview to countermand cognitive dissonance.

Discuss;

1. the theoretical perspective and current research on cognitive dissonance theory. Provide examples that support the research claims.

2. the theoretical perspective and current research on social attribution theory. Provide examples that support the research claims.

3. how cognitive dissonance theory and attribution theory could be applied to improve learning and instruction. (Benchmarks C3.4: Apply the theories of cognitive psychology to learning and instruction.)

4. personal worldview as a means to countermand cognitive dissonance. How might a distinctly Christian worldview function in this role?

Requirements;

Additionally, watch the Montessori Vs Conventional Schools(Links to an external site.) and Exploring Borderlands–American Passages: A Literary Survey videos.

In this post of a minimum of 300 words, you will explore the role of community agencies (more specifically, schools) in developing the optimum learning and pro-social behavior of children. Complete the following:

  • Explain the major approaches of Montessori-style education and of traditional education formats for children.
  • Then Create a Table describing three benefits and three drawbacks of each style, addressing each of the three domains covered in this course.

Guided Response: Respond to at least two of your peers. In your responses, describe how these styles of education may have different implications for different types of student learners, and address whether or not a unique learning style would benefit from the benefits they have listed for a particular educational style. Provide either a different benefit or drawback than the one your classmate found regarding one type of education. You are encouraged to post your required replies earlier in the week to promote more meaningful and interactive discourse in this discussion forum.

why do you think our rates for obesity and COVID-19 are so high in the United States and what can be done to lower our risk in future pandemics?

/in /by

The United States has the highest number of COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations of COVID-19 patients, and COVID-19 deaths in the world (WHO,2020).It also has the highest rate of obesity in the world with approximately 42.4% of its population falling into that category in a2017-18study(NCHS,2020). According to findings thus far, obesity is one of the strongest risk factors for more severe COVID-19 symptoms and need for hospitalization. “A report on 4103 patients with COVID-19 disease in New York City found that the most important clinical features leading to hospital admission were age>65 years and obesity itself, more than hypertension, diabetes or cardiovascular disease” (Finer, Garnett, & Bruun, 2020, p. 1).

Based on what you have learned from the required readings this week and last week, why do you think our rates for obesity and COVID-19 are so high in the United States and what can be done to lower our risk in future pandemics?What role can psychologists play in that effort?

Read over the grading rubric for discussions before posting.Post your initial response by Wednesday.You must make a minimum of three substantive responses to other posts on two separate days of the learning week.
