Juan's company was updating its strategic plan and asking for volunteers to sit on various planning subcommittees. Juan wondered if new employees were able to sit on these committees. Juan decided to ask a coworker. The coworker encouraged Juan to participate and said it would be a great way for him to learn more about the company, network with people throughout the organization, and help make positive changes for the company's overall success. Juan's coworker then showed him the back side of his name badge. On it was printed the company's mission statement. "This," Juan's coworker proudly said, "is why we come to work every day." Juan signed up for a committee that afternoon. Topic Response What additional advantages will Juan gain if he joins the committee? How can Juan prepare for this experience?

(adapted from m. m. duguid and j. a. goncalo, living large: the powerful overestimate their own height. ) in a study of power and self-image, participants were not told the true purpose of the study; instead, they believed they were participating in a business simulation. researchers randomly assigned participants to a high power(n = 44) or low-power (n = 44) condition. in the high-power condition, participants recalled a time when they had power over others, and in the low-power condition, they recalled a time when others had power over them. participants were asked to adjust the height (in centimeters) of an electronic graphical image (an avatar)of themselves to reflect their personal appearance. results indicated a statistically significant difference in participants’ perceptions of their own height across the two conditions. participants in the high-power condition created taller self-images (mean = 6.0, standard deviation = 1.5) than participants in the low-power condition(mean = 4.0, standard deviation = 1.0). * describe independent variable- describe how researchers measured the independent variable- explain why the researchers can conclude that there is a cause-and-effect relationship between the independent and dependent variables. - explain what statistical significance means in the context of the study.- explain why debriefing would be necessary in the study. -
