marshal the knowledge you have built to accomplish the core goal of all psychologists—to explain human
behavior. You will select a current or historical event and use theory and research from the field of social cognition and perception to explain, from your
perspective, why the event occurred. You will also suggest, again drawing from social cognitive theory and research, how this event could have turned out
differently had it occurred in a different culture. Although you will not have been exposed to the material in the entire course by the time you begin working
on the project, you should feel free to utilize theory and research covered in any portion of the course readings, or elsewhere within the field of social
cognition, in achieving the project objectives. The project will be completed in three steps: a topic proposal, a detailed outline and tentative annotated
bibliography, and a final paper.
The project is divided into two milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three and Five. The final research paper will be submitted in Module Seven.
This assessment will assess your mastery with respect to the following course outcomes:
 PSY-326-01 Evaluate contemporary research in social cognition and perception for its contributions to and importance for analyzing human behavior
 PSY-326-02 Analyze the impact of cognitive theory and methodology on socialpsychology
 PSY-326-03 Assess the impact of the social environment (with a focus on both functionality and shortcomings) on basic cognitive processes,
perceptual processes, and behavior
 PSY-326-04 Apply the automatic versus controlled model of social cognition to the analysis and evaluation of human behavior
 PSY-326-05 Assess the role of culture as one component of the social environment for its impact on basic cognitive and perceptual processes
Prompt
Your paper will address two major questions:
1. How does the literature in social cognition and perception help explain a real-world event?
2. Based on the literature, how could this event have happened differently had it occurred in a different culture?
The introductory part of your paper should provide background information on your chosen event, including where and when it occurred, how people were
affected by it, and its impact. For example, the event might have significantly impacted individuals, or perhaps it had an environmental or political impact.
Include any other relevant information that will provide the reader with a full picture of the nature of the event.

l utilize your knowledge of social cognitive theory and research to explain why the event occurred. Select two theories from the course that
could explain how and why the event happened. In your discussion of each theory and how it applies to understanding the event, incorporate information
from at least two representative, peer-reviewed articles that capture the essence of the theory and can be used to illustrate what the theory predicts would
happen in this situation.
Although you will address the applicability of the theories to the event in some detail, you should also analyze the role of other basic cognitive, perceptual,
and social psychological forces at work in bringing about the occurrence or unfolding of the event. Part of this analysis should include how the dual process
model can be utilized to analyze the course of events. How did automatic and controlled processes contribute to the event? What is the difference between
these two modes of processing? Utilize scholarly research to support all of your claims.
What specific heuristics, biases, or errors might have occurred in the course of the event? How are the biases or heuristics that you have identified functional
or problematic within this context? How might they have been reduced? Utilize information in the scholarly literature or your textbook for this discussion.
Finally, could this event have turned out differently if it unfolded in a different culture? Or do you think the outcome would have been much the same? Make
use of information in the scholarly literature or your textbook in discussing thisissue.
You will need to take care in selecting an event that will lend itself to detailed analysis from a social cognitive perspective. One example of such an event
would be the terrorist attacks that took place on September 11, 2001, and the aftermath. Many things occurred that could be viewed through the lens of
social cognition. The individuals who carried out the attack may have had certain motivations that social cognitive perspectives could explain. The public
developed certain views of the hijackers and, in some cases, had altered views of the groups to which the hijackers belonged. The rate of flying on
commercial airliners plummeted for a time. Subsequent U.S. military invasions of Afghanistan and later Iraq were portrayed as responses to this attack.
Yellow ribbons and “Support Our Troops” bumper stickers became widespread symbols. Hostility toward those critical of U.S. government policies increased.
Here are some other topics that you might choose as the focus of your paper:
 The civil rights movement
 The My Lai massacre during the Vietnam War
 The Nazi Holocaust
 The struggle to abolish slavery in the United States
 The Russian Revolution
 The stock market crash of 1929
 Human-induced global climate change
 The AIDS epidemic
 The nuclear disaster in Fukushima, Japan
 The Abu Ghraib prison torture scandal

Nutrition

Posted on | by

Part 5 of your Diet Project is a continuation of the analysis of your diet and health. In Part 5, we will be evaluating our overall health risk as it relates to nutrition, as well as thinking about ways we can improve our health through nutrition.

 

Directions: Fill in the tables and answer the questions based on the data from your Cronometer reports. You will need to refer to both the Trends and Servings reports that you submitted for Diet Project Part 1. Type in a different color text.
Note: The Trends report will show you your average intake for each nutrient, so you DO NOT have to calculate any averages!
Please answer the questions based on the information from your Cronometer reports!
• If a question does not apply to your situation, make sure to say something about it, such as “I’m not an athlete, so this doesn’t apply to me.” That way, I know you looked at the question. Don’t just skip the question!
• I will be grading Part 2 using your Cronometer reports submitted for Part 1. If I see a food on Part 2 that wasn’t recorded on Part 1, or if there is a food I saw from Part 1 that should be on Part 2, you will lose points.

Answer the questions based on what you are learning in this course!
• You are required to explain your answers in detail, using your reports and knowledge about nutrition to support your answer.
• Unacceptable responses: “it’s junk/fast/processed food”, “it’s full of nutrients, “it’s healthier”, “it’s better”, “I think my diet is healthy”, “I don’t like my diet”, or “my diet is horrible.” These will NOT earn you credit if you don’t explain why.

My Plate and Dietary Guidelines

3. What can you do to align your diet with the MyPlate recommendations? Name a few specific suggestions you can realistically make to your diet pattern. (2 points)

 

4. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2020-2025 suggest a healthy eating pattern and activity pattern (see table below). Do you generally meet these guidelines? Choose “yes” if most days you meet this recommendation, and “no” if most days you do not (2 points)

Benefit of your strengths:

 

Consequences of your weakness:

 

9. Based on what you have learned about your diet in this project, identify ONE nutrition-related disease that you believe you’d be most likely to develop and explain why (4 points).

 

10. Based on what you have learned about your diet and lifestyle habits in this project, are there any changes you want to make? If so, explain the following: (9 points)
