Question 1

“Social Media”

Select a business organization you know well, but not one you have used in a previous discussion. Do not repeat an example from the textbook or one that has been posted by another student. Please respond to the following in not more than 250 words:

• Identify how, in the last three years, that organization has changed its approach to social media.
• Describe the intended effects of these changes.
• How successful was the organization in achieving its goals?

Then, in separate posts, follow up to one or more of your fellow students in substantive up to 200 word posts that further the discussion. For example, you may support or politely challenge a post with your own insights or experience, make a suggestion, or ask probing follow-up questions.

Support your positions with explanations and/or sources, as appropriate.

Question 2:

Individuals have come to rely on social media, and so have businesses. As technology evolves, so do the ways that companies use these media.

This week, please find a company that has instituted a new way to apply social media. Why did they make the change, and has it met their expectations?

Based on your research, write a paper in three parts, as instructed below. Examine the APA code of ethics (the Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Ethics, linked in the Resources) in relation to these topics, develop a plan to avoid violating APA ethical principles in your current or future profession, and outline the steps you will take.

Complete all three parts of this assignment.

• Describe how test norms and standardization can become sources of test bias. Explain how bias associated with normative procedures and standardization can impact the validity of results for an individual.
  • Also address additional sources of test bias (such as administration, scoring, interpretation, test content, and differential validity).
• Explain how these sources of bias can impact the validity of results for an individual.
• Explain the APA principles that address test bias and fairness.
• Outline the steps you can take to minimize violation of APA ethical principles related to test bias and fairness.
