Positive psychology movement is attributed to Martin E. P. Seligman, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, who was appointed the President of the American Psychological Association (APA) in 1998 and introduced his agenda to correct the trajectory of modern day “pathologically focused” psychology (Seligman & Csikszentmihalyi, 2000). Seligman has done a great job of bringing the thoughts and ideas of past philosophers, researchers and scientists back to the spotlight, and those were: (a) Aristotle’s concepts of virtue and morality, (b) utilitarianism with concepts of subjective wellbeing and the pleasurable life, (c) William James’ concept of emotions (Hergenhahn & Henley, 2014).

Humanistic psychology appeared in the late 1950s and early 1960s as a reaction to the predominant theories of psychoanalysis and behaviorism dominating the field, and the movement founders were Abraham Maslow, Rollo May and Carl Rogers (Raskin & Rogers, 2005). Humanistic psychology emphasized the study of the whole person believing that the behavior is determined by the perceptions, individuals are not exclusively the product of the environment or gens, and individuals have internal motivation and direction to achieve their potential (DeRobertis, 2016).

Serlin (2011) argued that humanistic psychology is needed now more than ever as it addresses connection and embodied experience, meaning and ethics, creativity and dreams, resilience and self-actualization that are critical aspects of humanity. However, Hackney (2007) stressed that positive psychology provides conceptual, methodological, institutional, and applicatory resources that are indispensable for psychologists. I think that both prospectives are very valuable and contribute to a better understanding of humans. It is difficult to choose one or the other; therefore, I would align my approach with Schneider (2014), who claimed that there are many ways for humanistic and positive psychology to collaborate by delineating the optimal portraits of human flourishing—depending on questions asked and objectives sought.

Scenario: You have just started work as the new Human Resources Manager for Acme Manufacturing, a Fortune 1,000 company. The job has been vacant for six months now. You have been wondering about this, especially since reading about employee harassment incidents and fights recently in the news.

The General Manager (GM) calls you into his office the minute you arrive. He shuts the door after saying a quick word of welcome, and begins to tell you about an incident that happened last week that needs your immediate attention. The company’s manufacturing operations runs three shifts of production workers so the plant is operating 24/7. Over the past six months hostilities have arisen between employees on the third and first shifts. What started out as jeering and criticisms by the first shift, claiming they have to clean up the mess and complete all of the work left undone by the third shift, has escalated to physical confrontations and altercations. Although the GM said that aggressive bantering back-and-forth is common for shift workers in manufacturing, he admitted he was worried after seeing a gun on one of the employees last week that was concealed, or so the employee thought, in a shoulder holster under this jacket. The GM said he needs your help. Specifically, he asked that you:

• Determine and explain the appropriate disciplinary action for the employees involved in this situation and identify motivational alternatives that can help turn the situation around;
• Draft policies and procedures that could be used in the guidance and performance management of the shift workers; and
• Develop performance standards for the shift workers, identify appropriate methods of performance appraisal, and develop appropriate training to help get them back on track.

Feeling overwhelmed by the enormity of the situation, you go back to your office and begin devising a plan to help get employee relations back on track, realizing that human resource policies and practices may help avert potentially dangerous situations in the future if implemented correctly.

Write a 8-10 page memo to the GM responding to the three concerns listed above. Be sure to cite any references used in proper APA format.

In practice hardly anyone today accepts the extreme positions of gender development being guided solely either by heredity or environment. It is difficult to accept an “all or nothing” view, so, perhaps, the question should be as to how much of contribution each makes.

In this comprehensive Signature Assignment you will debate nature vs. nurture factors and theories in gender development supported by scholarly research throughout. If we accept the view that heredity and environment both influence our gender identity the question that intrigues researchers is how do the two interconnect or where and when they start overlapping?

You will explain the theories you will be discussing and include advantages and disadvantages of each of those theories if accepted in its totality, for the individual and for the society at large. Finally, you will state an argument for integration of both theories as you see it.

As we discussed above, gender development research is very complicated in its practical sense of executing such a research with minors as well as in the topic itself. More and more researchers are adopting the integrating focus of biological and environmental impact on development.

For your Signature Assignment, you will consider aspects of this Nature vs. Nurture debate in research, making sure to include the following in your final paper:

• Introduction to gender development concepts
• Biological theories
• Cognitive/behavioral theories
• Family/social impact on gender development
• Stereotypes
• Cross-cultural perspectives
• Conclusion supporting your own views based on the research

Length: 10-12 pages

References: Include a minimum of five scholarly articles published in the last five years in addition to any seminal work if needed. In addition, you may include scholarly websites or other scholarly resources.

Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.

Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

You have been assigned to lead a new project that is global in reach. The team you manage represents many differing cultures such as India, China, Mongolia, Thailand, and the United States. You are preparing for the first team meeting and would like to schedule it for tomorrow at 9:00pm. This is the kick-off meeting.

• What are some of the approaches you would plan on using for this important meeting?
  • Consider the best ways of working together using what you know about your team’s cultural differences.
  • Think of how you might begin and end this meeting.
  • What kind of documentation could you put in place to ensure the success of your team going forward?
