Observational Attributes

Decent Essays
I chose question number one because I really wanted to reflect on this misconception and voice my thoughts on it. When referring to the fundamental attribution error I do agree that it is common for people to overemphasizing dispositional attributes rather than situational attributes to assess behaviors in an individual. In my opinion, I believe that society undermines how dispositional attributes and situational attributes go hand in hand. Rather than making one aspect more predominant than the other, I believe that they both hold equal value when trying to explain behaviors in others. There will be instances where one attribute may be more influential in a given situation, but to always believe that dispositional attributes will be the primary

Girls are customarily taught to be more feminine and end up spending more…

    A geriatric social worker develops a very lengthy scale to assess the degree of staff sensitivity to the needs of residents in nursing homes. This scale is designed to be completed by both staff and residents. According to Rubin & Babbie (2016), this scale may be vulnerable to common sources of systematic and random error. As discussed by Rubin & Babbie (2016), sources of systematic error in measurement scales originate from biases during data collection in which a pattern emerges indicating a consistent inaccurate portrayal of the concept being measured. A bias response distorts the measurement with answers based on the respondent’s personal opinion or beliefs.…

    Behavior and anxiety problems in children are a normal course of the developmental process, however at times these problems become functionally impairing. Statistics have shown that conduct problems (Conduct Disorder and Oppositional Defiant Disorder) account for roughly 40% of physician referrals for mental health treatment (Mash & Barkley 2014). Research has shown that if these children are not treated at an early age, they are at a greater risk for more aggressive behaviors, peer rejection, school dropout and drug and alcohol use. (Cooley et al. 2014). Children with anxiety disorders are often at a target for rejection and are at risk for many different psychiatric disorders in adolescence (Mash & Barkley 2014).…
