This investigation is intended to explore the assertiveness through the hypothesis that by exposing a treatment group to an assertive roleplay video, they will yield a higher mean score on a cognitions and behaviour questionnaire as compared to the control group. QUOTE The study is consequential in providing a basis for future studies and gaining a subjective perspective on increased levels of assertiveness, where is effective in terms of assertiveness training.
An experimental study was adopted to analyse and differentiate between key facets in which separate the treatment group from the control group in terms of their mean scores from the cognition and behaviour questionnaires. Through this, subjective quantitative data was achieved

Figure 1 displays the mean participant assertiveness scores in comparison with both the treatment and control groups. Figure 2 is derived from this, where the bar graph represents the mean results of both groups. Where the treatment group yielded mean results of 33.4 as compared to 29.2 in the cognitions questionnaire, this is similarly reflected in the behaviour questionnaires in which the treatment group also achieved a higher mean score of 34.3 as compared to 31.55 in the control group. This can be interpreted as supporting the hypothesis, as evidently, from these results, observing an assertive roleplay is beneficial in gaining assertiveness, where the treatment group is compared to the control group mean scores in each questionnaire, evidently the independent variable has an influence.
A sample size of nineteen high school aged students from one educational institution was used in this investigation, where participants were randomly allocated into either the treatment or control group, based on non-existing groups. This sample, though somewhat sizeable, is not able to be generalized to the whole population based on undifferentiating factors of gender bias, similar socioeconomic status, culture and age, where they are from the same institution. The limited variation in the sample size causes a lack of validity where it is too scarce to make informed psychological
Therefore, from a human developmental perspective, the self-efficacy characteristic can aid students in comprehending the link between current behavior and future consequences (Evans, 1989). Bandura also noted that there were four distinct processes that influence a child’s behavior – attention, retention, motor reproduction and motivation. During the attention phase, a child will observe behaviors conducted around them and if this attention is thorough enough, the child will absorb the reactions and reasons for the aggressive behavior modeled. Bandura believed that the second stage, retention, is also vitally important because it is this re-enactment that causes the behavior to be transferred to the long-term memory of the child. Of course, even if the child has memorized the actions, they still need to have the physical attributes necessary to reproduce an action they have seen, but there is little physical dexterity needed to hit or punch something (Isom, 1998).

The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate understanding and application of basic concepts of behavior analysis. Specifically you are required to develop objective, behavioral definitions of social skills behavior avoiding subjective, mentalistic terms, and hypothetical constructs.
On a Wednesday evening at 9:05pm in Minnesota, an African American couple was driving in their car with a four-year-old daughter in the back seat. After being pulled aside by Joronimo Yanez, a police officer, for a broken tail light, Philando Castile, the driver, stopped his car. Officer Yanez asked Castile for his license and registration. Castile handed the officer his car license and registration, but also told him he has a weapon in his car, for which he was licensed to carry. Officer Yanez immediate words were “Don’t move!” As Castile put his hands up where the officer could clearly see them, officer Yanez shot him repeatedly four times in the arm to the horror of Castile, his girlfriend, and their four-year-old daughter. Completely stupefied by the event, Castile’s girlfriend, Reynolds, took out her phone and began streaming an online video directly to Facebook showing the immediate aftermath of the incident. In the video, Reynolds narrates the accident’s story and exclaimed, “You shot four bullets into him, sir. He was just getting his license and registration, sir. Please don’t tell me he’s dead.” While recording, her four-years-old asked “Mammy, I’m scarred!” Reynolds answered, “It’s okay, I’m right here with you.” Officer Yanez returned and ordered Reynolds on her knees out of the car. Still being recorded, the other officers on the scene asked officer Yanez of his mindset, checking if he’s ok, completing ignoring the true victim, Castile. Castile was left bleeding
SCT describes individuals’ behaviour according to a three way model which is dynamic and has mutual relationship among the three factors: personal factors; behaviour and environmental influences (Glanz and Bishop, 2010). Generally, SCT uses for counselling interventions which aims disease prevention since it consists of the concepts of “cognitive”, “behavioristic” and “emotional models” (Glanz and Bishop, 2010). Key construct of SCT is individuals no only learn from their own experiences but also by observing other peoples’ actions and results of those actions (Glanz and Bishop, 2010). In addition, self-control and self-efficacy is also identified as key ideas in SCT (Glanz and Bishop, 2010).

Participants in this study were 119 undergraduate students from a Canadian university. Gender selection was 36 males and 83 women with ages ranging from 18 to 51 years. As an incentive, the Canadian university psychology department awarded the participants with course
What makes “the rise of live action role-playing” an effective ethnographic essay is the way it describes the main functions of the subculture while also giving information about their practices in great detail. The article paints a picture of what live action role-playing is and explains the practices and rules associated with it. The author also mentions how the group is seen too outsiders opposed to someone from inside. The article goes in depth about what it takes to be a LARPer and the process of taking part in live action role-playing.
This research is reinforced by Albert Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory (Bandura, 1977; as cited in Redmond, 2010) which states that self-efficacy or a person’s belief in one’s ability to succeed in a particular situation plays an essential role in how goals, tasks, and challenges are approached. It continues to evolve as people acquire new skills, experiences, and understanding. It can have an impact on everything from psychological states to behavior to motivation. Bandura believed that the key to successful therapy is self-efficacy. Bandura's theory proposed that learning can also occur by simply observing the actions of others (Ross, 2007). It was stated that people can learn new information and behaviors by watching other people which is known as observational learning. Underneath the social cognitive theory is the social learning theory. There are three core concepts at the heart of social learning theory. In this study, the researchers will only use the two concepts which
The role play that impacted me the most was Danielle’s and Cassandra’s. It increased my understanding of cultural competency because I never considered what the process for establishing and renewing accessible entrances/ramps actually was. I knew that there were certain ADA codes that organizations have to follow and now it upsets me that these regulations are not met to the fullest comfort for our physically disabled students and faculty. Three main points from the role play and the discussion after that stuck with me were - 1) Washburn provides just enough accessibility, but not enough to fulfill the comfort and decrease the extra work the differently abled endure, 2) institutions like Washburn want to increase student
Gender differences occur in many aspects of a person’s life whether it is culture, politics, occupation, family and relationships, or the economy (just to name a few). One major difference in gender occurs in learning and education in the elementary and secondary levels. Research has found that males and females learn differently in many aspects of education. First of all, female and male brains are constructed differently affecting the way they learn; this leads to basic differences in learning and also gives an introduction into why the way one learns differs according to gender and how males and females learn subjects and tasks differently. Second, males and females are treated differently, sometimes unconsciously, in educational
I learned a lot from this course but there was one thing that really stood out to me. During our classes, you emphasized that one, there is no such thing as a perfect session, and two, you are going to have some not so great sessions. The piece of advice is vital and played a major role in my final role-play. When I would start to get nervous about the role-play I would simply remind myself that you were not expecting perfection and if I did mess up a lot that just meant I had more to write about in my paper. This, in return, relates to having more to learn from and grow on. I really think that being ok with messing up made me not mess up. I was relaxed and went with the flow; I was able to be more mentally present since I was not worrying about saying the right thing. However, I need to work on not trying to find a question to ask while she is talking. I need to listen then process then respond, rather than respond in my head before listening.
Psychological tests or psychological assessments are an important asset in the field of psychology. These tests are designed to measure people’s characteristics which pertain to behavior. There are a variety of different types of tests that can be used to assess different types of behaviors. According to the specific behavior or behaviors being assessed, tests are
