Psychology assignment 2128

 PLEASE USE ATTACHED TEMPLATE Our text suggests that objective reality is often significantly  different from perceived reality and is an important variable to  consider when making decisions within an organization. In addition,  attribution theory describes how people create the explanations for  their own and others’ actions, as well as the outcomes of the applied  behaviors. Based on these two premises, consider the following and then,  formulate an analysis about how attribution theory and bias (according  to chapter 8 in our text) can explain human behaviors within  organizations and industry. Use, or closely follow, this template for your paper. Consider the following information associated with attribution theory to support to your writing about decision-making:  perceptions bounded reality cognitive biases conjunction fallacy consistency consensus distinctiveness fundamental attribution error creative decision making Writing Content  Decision-Making  Based on our content this week, discuss the importance of rationale  decision-making in an organization, using necessary citations. Include  how bounded reality, cognitive biases, and conjunction fallacy might  affect decision-making. Attribution Theory  Explain attribution theory using necessary citations. Include a  discussion about the effects of consistency, consensus, distinctiveness,  and fundamental attribution error. Consider inclusion about the effects  of perception, primacy and recency effects, selective perceptions,  contrast effect, stereotyping to further support your discussion. Personal Experience: Inaccurate Judgement  Based on our content this week, consider your own experiences with  others. Have your actions ever been judged inaccurately by a person such  as a boss, a peer, or a family member? How could this experience  support your thesis about whether or not attribution theory and bias  affect human behaviors with organization? Can self-serving, or other, bias affect one’s perception of a behavior? Creative Decision Making  Explain how creative decision-making can improve our ability to make  better decisions, considering the numerous obstacles to do so. Include  an analysis about how good decision making can potentially affect  productivity and job satisfaction. Writing considerations: The introduction paragraph should introduce your topic and clearly explain what the paper will address. Headings can be used to organize your information. See template. (Each heading should include at least two paragraphs – minimum.) Each paragraph should make a point which can be linked back to your  introduction paragraph. Design the topic sentence to embody what the  paragraph will entail. The most important consideration in the body paragraphs is the  argument that you want to develop (is or is not perceptions, attribution  theory and bias applicable?) in response to the topic (applicability of  perception, attribution theory and bias). This argument is developed by  making and linking points in and between paragraphs. The conclusion paragraph should restate your thesis (your suggestion  that perceptions, attribution theory and bias does or does not apply to  human behaviors in organizations.) Your assignment should be a minimum of five to six double-spaced  pages, and should adequately discuss the topic, demonstrate maturating  self-awareness, and include at least one peer-reviewed source, in  addition to your text. Use the rubric to check for thoroughness. Include  frequent citation to resources.
