Help me study for my Social Science class. I’m stuck and don’t understand.

Submit a 5- to 6-page research proposal stating both a research problem and a broad research question (may be either qualitative or quantitative). Use 6–10 of the most relevant literature resources to support the need for the study, define concepts, and define variables relevant to the question. Include a literature review explaining what previous research has found in relation to your problem and question. The literature review should also include a description of methods used by previous researchers. Finally, be sure to explain how your proposed study addresses a gap in existing knowledge.

Scenario

You are a member of a committee at your child’s school. The committee has been assigned the task to design a flyer for the students to take home to their parents. The purpose of the flyer is to notify parents about the upcoming Field Day for all students. They have specified that it can only be one-page in length, and they have encouraged creativity to catch the eyes of the parents.

Several parents wish to participate, so the leader of the committee creates a fun flyer competition. She asks that each person creates his/her own flyer and create a screen share to persuade the committee to choose your flyer. The screen share should visually show the flyer and include a verbal explanation regarding why your flyer will best attract the eyes of the parents.

Since you are extremely creative, you know that in order to capture the parents’ attention and win this competition, you will need to use color, lines, balance, and contrast visual elements.

In your video presentation, be sure to defend your visual choices to the other parents and members of the committee. You know that if you clearly explain why you chose each of these visual elements and how it best attracts the eyes of the parents, you could win this fun competition!

Your presentation should be a maximum of 5 minutes.

Help me study for my Law class. I’m stuck and don’t understand.

Prior to beginning this journal, read the article, “Are Forensic Experts Biased by the Side that Retained Them?,” (I attached this article in PDF format below) and examine the subjective nature of forensic psychology concerning the evaluation of criminal defendants.

In a one page journal entry:

• Evaluate the influences that can contribute to differential diagnoses depending upon which side hires the psychologist to evaluate a criminal defendant.
  • Determine how to minimize cognitive bias.

As you reflect on the article for your journal, analyze the ethical considerations of

• Diagnosing a defendant.
• Diagnosing the legal implications of a negative diagnosis.

Based on your assigned readings, including this article, do you believe that such assessments as the PCL-R Checklist can provide accurate predictions of an individual’s behavior? Cite examples from your readings that support your analysis.

I need support with this Psychology question so I can learn better.

Instructions

In every organization, whether large or small, you can always find a group of employees who will readily admit to having a horrible boss within their work environment. The phenomenon of a horrible manager is not new, and of course, the concept of a “horrible boss” is not a valid scientific term; however, it does align with the profile of a manager or supervisor that has a negative personality or characteristics, such Machiavellian or narcissistic.

For this task, you will examine the negative side of leadership. Imagine that you have been asked to deliver a lecture for senior college students majoring in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. Prepare your lecture as a PowerPoint presentation with audio, voice-over. Create a PowerPoint presentation that addresses the following topics:

• Define the differences between a leader and a manager.
• Describe what is meant by the negative side of leadership, destructive leadership, and abusive supervision.
• Determine how and why “horrible bosses” are successful.
• Delineate the characteristics (e.g., personality, behavioral) of “horrible bosses.”
• Detail situational factors leading to the rise of “horrible bosses.”
• Recommend solutions for enhancing the leadership skills of “horrible bosses.”

Incorporate appropriate animations, transitions, and graphics as well as speaker notes for each slide. The speaker notes may be comprised of brief paragraphs or bulleted lists.

References: Support your presentation with at least three scholarly resources for each of the bullet points listed above. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources may be included.

Length: 12-15 slides, not including title and reference slides – Make Slides look interesting

Notes Length: 200-350 words for each slide

Be sure to include citations for quotations and paraphrases with references in APA format and style where appropriate. Save the file as PPT with the correct course code information.

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