Dr. Chang is designing an experiment on obedience to authority. She will set up a learning laboratory and have participants deliver loud blasts of sound as punishment for incorrect answers (given by a confederate of the researcher). How can Dr. Chang increase the likelihood of the participants' obedience

She can make sure the participants know that she has a Ph.D. from a prestigious university                    

Explanation:

Obedience: In psychology, the term "obedience" is described as one of the different forms of social influence related to human behavior in which an individual tends to possess orders or instructions from any of the authority figures, for example, elder adult, teacher, or parents. Generally, it is being distinguished from "compliance"  and "conformity".

In the question above, Dr Chang can increase the likelihood of the participants' obedience by making sure that the participants' know that she has a "PhD from a prestigious university" because an individual generally listens or obedient towards his or her authority figure

the act of deciding on matters of the economy. economic decision making is routinely conducted by finance ministers, economic advisors, heads of major central banks and business leaders and can have profound effects on a major economy.

if interdependence implies a two-way dependence, and if each partner is equally dependent on the other for success, then there is an equal commitment to the making the partnership successful. the advantage is sustainability of the relationship, the disadvantage is that decisions are "democratic" and therefore may take longer to reach and more likely to be a compromise (which is not always the best solution). as the interdependence moves away from equality, the decisions become more influenced by the more independent partner. in the extreme the relationship becomes more dictatorial and more like "master-slave". generally the relationship has less commitment in both directions and is more likely to be temporary.

if one generalizes (and one shouldn't), equity partnerships, which is probably what is implied by interdependence, can be slow to progress or change but durable. the extreme alternative, independent-dependent partnerships tend to be efficient but more fragile.

hope this but you will have to site your own evidence. : )
