Explanation:The ancient Israelites had a powerful influence on Western civilization despite not having the same level of political and military power as other empires in the Near East. The Israelites' influence stemmed from their religion, Judaism, which became the religious root of Christianity and Islam. These three religions, known as the 'Religions of the Book,' share a set of beliefs originating from the Hebrew holy texts. This religious heritage and influence contributed greatly to the development of Western civilization.
Caitlin, age 17, wants to move out of her home and move in with her 20-year-old friend, Liza. Caitlin's parents have gradually allowed her to have a car and a part-time job and to make her own decisions about her activities, but they forbid her to move out at this time. No matter how hard Caitlin pushes, her parents remain firm. This example illustrates
A) an authoritarian, controlling parenting style.B) relinquishing control in areas where the adolescent can make mature decisions.C) parental fear of the "empty nest."D) alienation of family members.
Answer:.B) relinquishing control in areas where the adolescent can make mature decisions
Explanation:
When children are still under the age of 18 they need to have their actions evaluated by their parents because they are still at the age where they can make haste decisions .
They can make decisions without looking at what consequences may be after that action has been committed.
A parent has to help them make a sound decision even though it may not look like that to the teenager, it may look restrictive but at the end it is mostly at their best interest .
Caitlin parents are trying to protect her from staying in any environment where they will be no adult supervision which may result into Caitlin getting involved into immoral behaviour such as staying out drinking till late or morning which may affect her studies.
Immigrant parents of successful youths typically view school successes as less important than native-born parents. develop close ties to an ethnic community. encourage full assimilation into the majority culture. stress individualistic values over collectivist values.
Answer:develop close ties to an ethnic community
Explanation:
What is an ethnic community ?
An ethnic community is a group of people who share the same nationality, langauge and race .
Possible reasons why they would do this is for moral support and to ensure that they help each other on the education of their children.
Those who are new arrivals will need to know how the children of the other immigrants made it when they first came into the foreign land .
They can then introduce their children to each other and their children can assist the one who has just arrived to the foreign country copy with their school work (because they may face issues with the langauge barrier) and continue to do well.
Immigrant parents place significant value on education, often resulting in higher academic achievement for first-generation immigrant students. They focus on family obligations and maintaining cultural connections, which serve as protective factors and support their children's identity. However, subsequent generations may face challenges in maintaining this academic advantage as they assimilate into the majority culture.
The attitudes and behaviors of immigrant parents towards their children's education and assimilation into the majority culture. Research has shown that immigrant parents often place a high value on education, which can be seen in the behaviors and academic success of their children. For instance, first-generation immigrant students have been found to have higher GPAs and more positive attitudes toward school than subsequent generations, potentially due to the high aspirations and family influences of their parents. This effect may be attributed to the strong family obligations and the parents' clear communication of the importance of education and proper behaviors to their children, as seen in Southeast Asian families. Additionally, the data suggest that the family's reasons for immigrating, such as seeking educational opportunities for their children, can have a positive impact on the children's academic outcomes.
Moreover, immigrant parents often develop close ties to an ethnic community and encourage their children to maintain cultural connections, which can offer protective factors and support the children's sense of identity. However, subsequent generations of immigrants may show less academic success, which could be due to erosion of strong family identity as they become more acculturated to the majority culture. As such, immigrant parents often try to balance the need for acculturation with maintaining a strong family and ethnic identity.
Amit, a manager at a firm, is friends with Jeremy, his junior. They share a common hobby—golf—and play together every weekend. Amit observes Jeremy's passion for golf and assumes that he must be equally passionate about work as well. As a result, he gives top ratings to Jeremy in performance appraisal. However, Jeremy's work quality and productivity in office are actually below par. In this scenario, Amit has given top ratings to Jeremy due to the _____.
A. Hawthorne effect
B. butterfly effect
C. Streisand effect
D. halo effect
Answer:
Halo Effects
Explanation:
It is a cognitive bias. It works on the principle of the first impression is the last impression. It is also called physical attraction stereotype and "whatever is beautiful is good". It is the habitual characteristics of a person to rate a person on their physical attractiveness. The more attractive person gets more favor and the person who is not beautiful gets less favor. This term was coined by Edward in the 1920 s. Whenever we rate a person by his good looking, then we tend to believe that they are positive and good personality and more intelligent. Even in one of the study investigators found that people rate that the more attractive person found to be less guilty in criminal activity. It is a double-edged sword. Even good looking person also found guilty, dishonest, hard from heart.
When a person solves problems by utilizing his/her prior experience, as well as insight and coping ability/skills for new situations, Sternberg’s triarchic theory of intelligence would suggest that person was demonstrating __________ intelligence.a) contextual b) experiential c) practical d) componential
Answer:
b) experiential
Explanation:
Contextual intelligence or Practical intelligence is the intelligence that allows us to apply what we have learnt to real world scenarios and situations.
Componential intelligence is the intelligence that is indicated by our Intelligence Quotient (IQ) score i.e., our innate abilty (aptitude).
Experiential intelligence is the intelligence that allows us to use our experience and use it in a new situation.
The three types of intelligence are a part of the Triarchic theory of intelligence.
Extra points! What are party whips in Congress? How did they influence legislation?
PLEASE HELP! ASAP!!
Answer:
It comes from a hunting expression, but the term has been used to refer to the position of an assistant to the party leaders who help get votes.
Explanation:
Whips are responsible for rounding up party members to vote for a bill and have the majority they need. Sometimes however, the party doesn't have a majority in the Senate or House of representatives. The role of the whip is to get votes from the opposing party members or independent members. At times, they can fill in for majority or minority leaders when these are absent.
As a child, you were playing in the yard one day when a neighbor’s cat wandered over. Your mother (who has a terrible fear of animals) screamed and snatched you into her arms. Her behavior caused you to cry. You now have a fear of cats. In this example the conditioned stimulus is:
a. your mother’s behaviorb. your cryingc. the catd. your fear today
Answer:
C. the cat

Even though there are relatively few professors of Chinese literature and many postal workers in the U.S., students guessed that a man who spoke Chinese and reads a lot was probably a Chinese literature professor rather than a postal worker. This is an example of using ________.a. the representativeness heuristic. b. the anchoring heuristic.c. the availability heuristic.d. the false-consensus effect.e. none of the above
Answer:a. the representativeness heuristic.
Explanation:
What is the representativeness heuristic?
This term was described by two psychologist Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman.
When we want to decide on something or judge it we will usually take a path that will get us there soon or these psychologist call this "rules of thumb " which is referred to as heuristic.
When we want to decide on something and there isn't enough information available to us to make comparisons as a result we use heuristic to decide immediately without wasting time.
This can be occasionally helpful but sometimes it can lead us to making inaccurate judgements or biased conclusions.
For example we can use our preexisting prototype to compare it with want we are trying to decide on at that moment .
Our prototype is that information that we believe is more associated with that particular situation or object or subject at that moment .
For example we see someone wearing a long white coat entering the hospital we are more likely to think they are a doctor evethough we may find that this person is a lab technician and he is getting into the hospital to deliver some blood sample results but because we use the information that already exist in our mind that what we will use to make judgements.
In the above text the man reads a lot and speaks Chinese we know professors read a lot and mostly specialize on langauges then our first judgement is this is a professor .

Because her coworker kept her eyes on her work and never said much, Laura concluded that Rita wasn't very smart. But when a new procedure was introduced on their floor and Laura made several errors, Rita showed her a simple way to remember each step. This is an example of
A. failing to take responsibility for her mistakes.
B. misjudging other people's abilities.
C. failing to listen to others.
D. having a low level of self-esteem.
Answer:
This is an example of b. misjudging other people's abilities.
Explanation:
There is no information in the problem that Laura failed to take responsibility for her mistakes. It simply states that she made several mistakes. Because Rita showed Laura how to remember each step, we can assume that she listened to her. There is no other information about Rita trying to talk about the work. In fact, one of the assumptions is that she was not smart because she did not say much. The option D does not apply in this case. It is about Laura's attitude towards Rita and a misconception associated to the fact that Rita did not speak much. Thus, b. is the correct answer.

Steve can wash, fold, and iron a basket of laundry in two hours and prepare a meal in one hour. His roommate Mike can wash, fold, and iron a basket of laundry in three hours and prepare a meal in one hour. The absolute advantage in laundry is held by:
Final answer:
Steve has an absolute advantage in laundry over Mike. Efficiency can be further improved through specialization based on comparative advantage.
Explanation:
The absolute advantage in laundry is held by Steve because he can wash, fold, and iron a basket of laundry in two hours, while Mike requires three hours to do the same task. Absolute advantage refers to the ability of an individual or group to carry out a particular economic activity more efficiently than another individual or group.
When dividing tasks among people, individuals or groups may benefit from specializing in tasks where they have a comparative advantage. This means assigning tasks to the person who can perform them with the lowest opportunity cost. For Steve and Mike, if Steve has a comparative advantage in laundry and Mike in meal preparation, or vice versa, then it would be more productive for each to specialize in the task where they have a comparative advantage, even though Steve has an absolute advantage in both tasks.
Jean wants her daughter to eat her vegetables so she is healthy. Jean tells her daughter that after she eats her vegetables she can play outside, which is one of her daughter’s favorite things to do. In this situation, Jean is using ________ to increase her daughter’s eating of vegetables.
Answer:
The Premack principle
Explanation:
Given by David Premack in 1965.
This principle is based on Operant Conditioning (reinforcement).
The Premack principle states that the chance of getting involved in more predictable activities or behaviors will reinforce less predictable activities or behaviors.
In the given eg. Jean is applying reinforcement, as he asked her daughter that she can play outside after eating fruits.
Final answer:
Jean is using positive reinforcement to increase her daughter's eating of vegetables. By promising the opportunity to play outside after eating vegetables, she provides a desirable reward for the behavior she wants to encourage.
Explanation:
Positive reinforcement is a concept from behavioral psychology that involves introducing a rewarding stimulus following a behavior, which makes it more likely that the behavior will be repeated. In this case, the reward is the opportunity to play outside, which is something her daughter already enjoys. Instead of imposing negative consequences for not eating vegetables or engaging in bribing with unrelated rewards like dessert, Jean is incorporating her daughter's natural preferences to gently nudge her towards healthier eating habits. This strategy also aligns with the principle of preparing balanced meals and actively involving children in choices related to their meals, without resorting to bribes. By ensuring the reward is contingent on the desired behavior - eating vegetables - Jean effectively encourages her daughter to develop better nutrition habits.
A graduate student wants to examine the effect of print media versus televised media on individuals' position on several social issues. The superintendent of a local work release facility, a family friend, will allow the graduate student access to the prison population to help her quickly accrue subjects. The student's IRB should:a. Approve this project since the risk appears to be no more than minimal.b. Not approve this project because the prisoners are merely a population of convenience for the student.c. Approve this project since the superintendent is the ultimate authority on what happens in his facility.d. Approve this project but submit it for federal review.
Answer:
B. Not approve this project because the prisoners are merely a population of convenience for the student.
Explanation:
Population of convenience refers to group of samples that is drawn from the population which is close /easy for the researchers. One big weakness of population of convenience is that the data given by this type of population tend to contain high level of bias.
From the sample above, The researchers has a connection to superintendent of a local work release facility , which happen to be the researcher's family friend.
This will create two problems for the research result:
1. the researcher will collect the data in a perceived position of power, because of the connection with the superintendent.
The prisoners that become the samples will most likely held themselves so they can give the data that the researcher wants from them.
2. If the prisoners are the only samples that the researcher get, it would be really biased since prisoners tend to have similar characteristics and do not represent the whole population.

Homo naledi is a new species of the genus Homo that is similar to Homo erectus, yet contains unique-enough characteristics to warrant a separate species. This hominin was first discovered at the South African site Rising Star Cave in 2013. Identify the challenges faced by archaeologists working in Rising Star Cave.
Archaeologists working in Rising Star Cave faced challenges including difficult access due to narrow spaces, high volume of remains, unique traits of Homo naledi complicating classification, and ambiguity in interpreting how the bones ended up in the cave.
Explanation:The archaeological expedition that discovered Homo naledi in the Rising Star Cave faced a number of unique challenges. First, the extremely narrow passages and tight spaces in the cave system made accessing and excavating the site difficult. This type of excavation required the use of small, slender individuals who had to be specially trained in archaeological techniques.
Another challenge was the sheer volume of remains. Over 1,500 bones were recovered, all of which needed to be painstakingly catalogued and analysed. This process was further complicated by the unique characteristics of the Homo naledi specimens, which displayed a mosaic of traits associated with different hominin species, presenting a challenge in classification.
Finally, there was the question of interpretation. How the bones ended up in such a remote and difficult-to-access location was a mystery, and various theories ranging from death trap to deliberate burial have been suggested. However, the veracity of these theories is still being debated and studied.

Answer:
-concentrating tribes onto reservations
-trying to integrate Indians into white society as farmers

Specialization and comparative advantage
A.lead to greater productivity.
B.lead to international trade and overall gains for the nations involved.
C.lead to greater output even if you can do everything better than someone else.
D.All of the above.
Answer:
The correct answer is D. All of the above.
Explanation:
A country, a region or even an individual person, achieve a greater economic result if they carry out economic activities that have comparative advantages.
This happens because if everyone specializes in a particular activity, they will surely obtain greater efficiency and productivity in carrying out that activity than if they did many activities without specializing in any particular one. If this activity also has comparative advantages, the individual result is optimal.
On the other hand, trade allows the exchange of goods and services produced by different agents in the market for a price that presents a benefit to both the buyer and the seller.
If this mechanism is free and fluid, it allows to obtain in sum a global optimum for the sum of the economic agents that participate in the market.
Clarifications:
A. Each individual makes an individual contribution to the increase in local, regional and national productivity.
B. Through international trade this impacts the overall profits of the nation.
The more you take advantage of comparative advantages, the more a nation will be in a position to offer benefits to other nations that would like to buy their products or services and the greater capacity they will have to buy products and services from other countries specialized in their own comparative advantages and a situation in the That everyone wins.
C. There are many individuals or nations that think they can be self-sufficient and do everything on their own, but empirical evidence has shown time and again that this stance has resulted in economic stagnation as a result of not taking advantage of their own benefit. and mutual the mechanism described above.
Even if we think we can do everything better than others, human, material and time resources will always be limited and we will have to choose what resources to use, what projects to carry out, etc. in the limited time that each one has.
Specialization and competition always run the limits of productivity because they incorporate the mechanism of innovation. In other words, whoever is at a disadvantage with respect to another will strive to improve in order to compete and not be left out of the market. In short, innovation is what allows increasing individual productivity and impacting the overall growth of the economy. Those who at the beginning did everything better, at some point will be surpassed by those who specialize in certain activities and achieve greater efficiency.
