What are the factors that create these differences in perceptions from person to person? Do these differences in perception indicate differences in reality? Can we be confident that our perceptions reflect reality?

Your perception

The systems responsible for sensation are remarkably similar from one person to another, but each person uniquely experiences sensory input. Perception of the same event is likely to be different for different people. For example, water that is too hot for one person may be just right for another. The volume of sound at a concert may be painfully loud for one person but enjoyable for another.

• What are the factors that create these differences in perceptions from person to person?

• Do these differences in perception indicate differences in reality?

• Can we be confident that our perceptions reflect reality?

APA ASSIGNMENT

The next 2–3 pages of your document will contain headings (provided by you based on the questions below), with answers (provided by you). Refer to your course materials as needed to create a level one heading, in current APA format, using the following phrase: “APA formatting concepts” written in correct APA formatting.
Hint: The phrase “APA formatting concepts” as you see here is deliberately not in current APA format. If you would like to see examples of properly formatted levels of headings, refer to in your APA Publication Manual. Also, notice how the levels of headings are demonstrated within the sample student paper in your APA Publication Manual.

Next, you will need to create an appropriate level two heading for each of the questions below. Your level two headings will serve to summarize the question that is being asked. Each level two heading must be relevant, be something you created, brief, and clearly identify each question you are answering. Do not copy/paste the assignment questions as your headings.

When writing your answers, use complete sentences and proper margins, indentations, spelling, grammar, and punctuation, as required with current APA format.

1. Where in your APA Publication Manual do you find instructions for the proper formatting for a personal communication? For this question, explain what a personal communication is, give examples of different types of personal communications. Include details for what you do with the reference and why, and for an in-text citation.

2. What is the purpose for using different levels of headings in a properly formatted document, and how do you know which heading to use? Use your APA Publication Manual to find the answers to this question.

3. In your own words, explain what a DOI is. Why is it important to you as a researcher? (Hint: Be sure to explain this in your own words to show that you understand what you are explaining.) Note: This question has two parts, explaining what it is, and explaining why it is important.

4. Visit the Jerry Falwell Library online. Browse around on pages that will lead you to information about topics that you are studying. Based on what you find on these pages, what kinds of resources can you access through the Jerry Falwell Library? Note: Be thorough; this is not a brief answer.

5. Suppose you need a resource that is not directly available in the Jerry Falwell Library. Explain how you would acquire a source that you need. Identify at least three ways you can find scholarly sources.

6. Refer to your Publication Manual and provide the page numbers where you will find information on how to format each of the following. Provide information and examples for in-text citations as well as the information for each reference. As you write your answers, use a brief level three heading to introduce each new item (no bullet points), and use complete sentences in your answers.

Discussion 8: Motivation

For this week’s discussion you will be responding to a case study using a Justice theory of your choice. Read the following case carefully. Then answer the questions that follow.

Case: Q Corp. Motivation

All employees at Q Corp. perform the same exact job. About six months ago, upper management gave all employees hired after January 2013 a 20% increase in base pay. All employees who were hired prior to January 2013 were not given a raise.

Recently, upper management has been noting some differences in performance among the employees. You have been hired to help uncover the problem, explain why the change affected employee behavior to upper management and develop a solution.

In your post, please address the following:

Use equity theory or fairness theory (distributive justice, procedural justice) to uncover and describe the problem. How have these changes affected the employee’s (both new and old) motivation according to the theory you selected? How would you explain this to management?
