...Florida International University MAR 4503 Consumer Behavior Fall 2015, Section U01 Dr. Jayati Sinha Homework #2 Implicit Association Test October 12, 2015 (1) Describe your experience doing the demo test. What did you expect would happen? Did the results surprise you? Do you think the results are a valid measure of your implicit attitudes? Why or why not? In your answer, be sure to consider the issues raised in the FAQ page. I believe that in the domain of intergroup discrimination like race, age, and sexual orientation the Implicit Association Test does better than self-report at predicting behavior. I also understand that I may not say what's on my mind either because I am unwilling or because I am unable to do so. The unwilling-unable distinction is like the difference between purposely hiding something from others and unconsciously hiding something from myself. The Implicit Association Test makes it possible for me to penetrate both of these types of hiding. The Implicit Association Test measures implicit attitudes and beliefs that we are either unwilling or unable to report. (2) How could you use this technique to test consumer attitudes towards any brands? Would you expect the results to differ from explicit measures of attitudes? Why or why not? -Tapping consumer insights in such a way more appropriately captures the richness of consumers' perceptions, feelings, and attitudes toward a brand. -Allows for indirect measurement of attitudes...

If you read other materials while writing your paper, but you did not actually cite them, you may want to include them on a separate page; since they are not actually cited, they must not appear on the works cited or reference page. • You must list all sources that you cited in your paper, including dictionary and encyclopedia entries. • Attention to detail in a works cited or references page is important because it can help you to avoid plagiarism, it demonstrates academic integrity, and it helps your reader to find and use the same sources that you did. • Regardless of whether you use a references or works cited page, your entries must be listed in alphabetical order based on the first word of the entry (usually the author’s last name, but sometimes a piece may not have an author, so you will have to use a different piece of information.

...Analyzing and Interpreting Data QNT/351 March 25, 2015 Analyzing and Interpreting Data The company Ballard Integrated Managed Services Inc. (BIMS) made a second attempt to find the root problem of the increase in turnover that the company has experienced. The first attempt failed to give a concrete answer do to the low encouraging to employees to complete the survey, also the confusing wording of the survey and for the small percentage of workers that completed the questionnaire. Only a 17.3% of employees completed the previous study. Also, many of the questions were irrelevant to help find the problem. In this new attempt, the study was first tested by five craft workers voluntarily for them to review and give their feedback on the survey. Another change in the second survey is that it was only given to workers that left the company voluntarily. The survey focuses on asking employees about their experience in the business and why the reason of leaving was. In the first survey, it was revealed that the turnover increase was due to low employee morale, a lack of communication between employee and supervisor and low employee performance. The second survey focused on asking if the employee felt well trained in the job assigned, if they felt a fair treatment, if communication was good, what division, how long did they work for the company and the reason for leaving. There were eleven qualitative questions that were to be answered based on a scale from one to five, one being...

...1 www.oldwitchcraft.com 2 www.oldwitchcraft.com 3 INTRODUCTION The science of numerology can be traced back thousands of years. The Chinese, Japanese, Greek, Hebrews, Egyptians, Phoenicians, early Christians, Mayans, and Incas all used some form of numerology to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the universe. Numerology is perhaps the easiest of the occult arts to understand and use. All you need is the birth date and the complete name of an individual to unlock all of the secrets that the numbers hold. (Most authorities agree that the full birth name as recorded on your birth certificate is the name that must be used for all calculations involving name.) There are eleven numbers used in constructing Numerology charts. These numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, and 22. Larger numbers that occur from adding the numbers in the complete birth date or from the values assigned to each name are reduced by adding the digits together until the sum achieved is one of the core numbers. Merely add the components of the larger number together (repeatedly, if necessary) until a single digit (or the "master" numbers 11 or 22) results. Each of these numbers represents different characteristics and expressions. Master numbers are the only exception to rule of reducing to the single digit. The master numbers 11 and 22 are intensified versions of the single digit number they replace (2 and 4). These numbers suggest a potential for a high degree of learning and/or achievement...

...Final Exam Mengjuan Huang MG637(1) Professor Clifford December 4, 2011 Question 1:Decision-Making 1.The definition of decision-making A decision is a choice between alternatives. Managers choose courses of action not only fro themselves but for their organization and other people. While people choose a job, it is not only for himself, but also for his family and friends. "Decision making is the process of identifying problems and opportunities and then resolving them." (Richard L. Daft, Chapter 9, Pp 238) The process of making a decision is to establish and achieve organizational goals and objectives. People choose jobs that help them reach the targets in their mind and have the promotional opportunities. 2. Using the seven-step decision making model to deicide to choose the best job The Seven-Step Decision Making Model developed by Rick Roberts of the University of North Florida Career Services includes identifying the decision to be made, self-assessment, identifying any options, gather data and evaluate the options, selecting one and designing a course of action(Rick Roberts, 2006). Step one: Identify the decision to be made According to my personal situation, such as currently employed, single, enjoy traveling. There are some problems and opportunities that should be concerned.

...Question #1: In 1835, Bassi showed that a fungus caused a silkworm disease, and in 1865 Pasteur discovered that a protozoan caused another silkworm disease. Why do we use Koch's postulates instead of Bassi's or Pasteur's postulates? Answer #1: Koch was the major mind in establishing that microorganisms cause a specific disease. He was able to prove that certain bacteria was present in the blood of the infected person or animal, but the presence of the bacteria could have been caused by the disease. Koch proved that certain infectious diseases are caused by certain microorganisms that can be isolated and cultures onto a media. The requirements Koch established are that the same pathogen must be present in every case of the disease, the pathogen must be isolated from the host and grown in a pure culture, the pathogen in the pure culture must cause the disease when it is inoculated into a healthy lab animal, and finally the pathogen must be isolated from the animal and must be shown to the original organism. Bassi and Pasteur were not able at that time to correlate the pathogen with the specific disease. Question 3: In 1884, Hans Christian Gram described a method of staining bacterial cells while not staining surrounding animal tissues; however, he thought the staining method he developed was faulty because not all bacteria stained. In a letter to the editor of the journal in which Gram published his findings, write your response to Gram's concern. Answer 3: Dear Editor,...
