Psychology:
Project description:
Use the textbook to answer the following questions. (If you do not have the specific textbook, it is also ok to use other social psychology textbooks to answer the questions.)
1. Your friend teaches preschool, and there is one little boy in her class who is giving her fits. He constantly misbehaves, throwing toys, threatening other children, and sometimes even physically attacking them. So far, her stern punishment has stopped his destructive behavior when she is there, but when she leaves the room or when a substitute fills in, he is back to his old ways. You suggest that she use dissonance to change his behavior permanently. What would you tell her?
2. You work for a software manufacturer, and the supervisor of your division has just informed your work team that the new software designed to give people access to the World Wide Web keeps crashing. Your supervisor is under a deadline to detect the source of the problem and fix it, so he assigns you and four other employees to a abug detectora group to find the problem and correct it. What will determine whether or not your group succeeds?
