Read through the below scenarios and then briefly describe how the id, the ego, and the superego would handle the situation.
- Rachel is walking to class and the late bell rang two minutes ago. As she walks into her class, she stumbles and her books go flying everywhere. Out of one of the books falls a note to a boy that Rachel has secretly liked for a long time. The boy picks up the note and reads the top line and then hands it back to Rachel. She is so embarrassed.
- Jake is going on his first date with a really popular girl. He still can’t believe that she agreed to go out with him. During the movie they are sitting so close that their legs are touching and he so badly wants to hold her hand and kiss her, but he isn’t sure how she would react. He takes a chance and does it and she looks at him and then gets up and walks out.
We learned in earlier discussions that according to Aristotle and Bentham, one’s happiness was the highest goal. Enter social contract. How does one ensure one’s self-interest when one has to compromise with another to achieve the goal? David Gauthier proposes that it is possible, offering the Prisoner’s Dilemma as an example.
According to the story of the Prisoner’s Dilemma, two people have been brought in for questioning, conducted separately, about a crime they are suspected to have committed. The police have solid evidence of a lesser crime that they committed, but need confessions in order to convict them on more serious charges. Each prisoner is told that if she cooperates with the police by informing on the other prisoner, then she will be rewarded by receiving a relatively light sentence of one year in prison, whereas her cohort will go to prison for ten years. If they both remain silent, then there will be no such rewards, and they can each expect to receive moderate s
Joe, Stacie, and Shannon are all employees within the same organization. Consider each employee's characteristics below. Then address the questions following the employee descriptions.
Employee 1: Joe enjoys coming to work each day. He finds pleasure in the outcome of his work. He believes his work helps others. He seeks out new ways to make his work more effective, and often initiates new work projects. He likes to stay busy throughout the day. He sometimes has a hard time if there is not enough work to do. He has no desire to leave the organization and would like to continue to be promoted within the company as he gains experience.
Employee 2: Stacie finds that although she used to like her current position within the company, she now finds it less rewarding. She has been in the same position for a few years, and in the past, enjoyed working on the team she was assigned. Recently, she had the opportunity to work on a special project, but this work was temporary. She found t

Controversy surrounds the validity of certain personality tests, including the Rorschach Inkblot Test. Pundits argue that the Rorschach test results in over-identifying mental problems and is unreliable and invalid. Scholars in favor of the Rorschach test argue that it is one piece of evidence in the whole battery, and criticisms are unfounded or controllable.
Compare and contrast the use of the Rorschach, a projective measure, with the MMPI, an objective measure. Construct a scenario, and present both sides of the argument, where the Rorschach test could be used to help and to hurt the individual being tested. How might a clinical interview influence the interpretation of test results for each? Would you need to make any special accommodations if you were testing an 8 year old? 16 year old? 85 year old? If so, describe and explain. If not, justify your answer.
Search for at least 1 reference that discusses the validity concerns of personality tests. You can use relevant Web sites
The paper should not be a summary of the article, but rather your personal thoughts, feelings, and reactions to one or more key ideas in this article. You may discuss what you found helpful, true, or useful ideas, or you may explain your disagreement to certain things suggested. 300 words, double spaced, APA style
Description of the research project
This research is called secondary data analyses. Your research project, which constitutes 20% of your grade is a secondary analyses of data from the General Social Survey.
Lit Review & Final Report
After finalizing your intro, methods and results, you have one more task to complete: Please compare your results to the findings in the current literature. Search the literature and identify three references that are on the same topic or related. You will find details on compiling your literature under the lit review and final report tab. Compare their findings to your findings. If your results are different than theirs, speculate on potential reasons for it. Present the information on one or two slides with the title "Place in Literature."
Final Paper: Instructions
