PSYC315 Week 2 Assignment 2018
Week 2 assignment
As you learned in this week’s readings and lecture we
develop a sense of who we are by responding to the question “Who am I?” This exercise helps you look at your own
response to this question.
You learned that each of us has an entire repertoire of
self-concepts instead of just one, and that within this repertoire we attach
different levels of importance to the various self-concepts. We present a self to others according to the
situation we are in.
Last week you completed the Many Me’s Questionnaire. This
week you will complete a write up of your responses by reflecting on your sense
of self and answering the following five (5) questions about your self-concepts
and report these in the second section of your paper:
a. Which of
these identities is the most fundamental to your sense of self?
b. To which of
these identities are you most strongly committed and why?
c. How were or
are other people important to developing your most important self-concepts?
d. How have
your images of self changed over the last five years?
e. Have you
ever had your self-concepts challenged?
Expectations:
1. Write an
essay-style report comprised of the two parts specified above.
2. The
suggested length is 400 words although you are free to write more if you find
it interesting to do so;
3. Your
document file must be MS Word, Word Pad or rtf;
4. Single-spacing
is fine;
5. You do not
need a title page although your name must appear at the top of the document;
6. Before
submitting your homework, spell check it and grammar check it;
7. Submit your
homework below no later than Sunday of Week 2 before 11:59 PM Mountain time.

fully formed responses using course terminology to the 5 different questions
–40 points
• Orderliness,
freedom from spelling and grammar errors written in APA style – 10 points
Week 3 assignment
Gender in the Workplace Assignment
Oftentimes it appears that genders are equal in the
workplace. While we like to think this, research will prove that is not the
case. Women are still paid less and do not hold as many higher level positions.
This week you will research current events to help understand and deconstruct
this issue.
Some examples of topics you may want to research regarding
gender and:
Pay Gap Academics Research
Leadership Promotions Small Business
Careers Technology Glass Ceiling
Your assignment for this week is to find two articles that
discuss the issue of gender in the workplace. To help guide your analysis,
complete the following steps:
– Summarize each article, focusing on main ideas and primary
examples (2-4 Paragraphs)
– Discuss the relationship between the articles and key
terms and ideas in social psychology (2-3 Paragraphs)
– Provide recommendations with ideas on how to change the
issue and utilize social psychology ideas to support your recommendation (1-2
paragraphs)
– Provide APA citations for both articles and additional
references.
