What is the maximum number of examinations the firm can require beyond which the exceptional workers would just prefer the regular worker wage?
Adverse Selection in the Labor Market (Parts c e)Despite protecting itself from the consequences of adverse selection in part b, the employer recognizes that as a result of adverse selection, there is an unconsummated wealth-creating transaction available if it can screen the workers in a way that will reveal their types. They come up with the following hiring policy: Anyone who has passed a certain number, nn, of qualifying examinations will be regarded as an exceptional worker and will be paid $120,000. And anyone who has passed fewer than nn will be regarded as a regular worker and paid $90,000. Suppose that these examinations are tough and require a lot of studying, especially for the regular workers. Specifically, to pass each examination, exceptional workers face a studying cost valued at $1,000, while regular workers face a studying cost valued at $5,000.11) Adverse Selection in the Labor Market (Part c)For the policy to work, it needs to be incentive compatible. The number of examinations required (nn) should be strict enough that the regular workers dont bother to meet it but not so strict as to discourage even the exceptional workers from attempting it. What is the minimum number of examinations required to ensure that the regular workers dont find it worth it to reach the requirement? What is the maximum number of examinations the firm can require beyond which the exceptional workers would just prefer the regular worker wage?Adverse Selection in the Labor Market (Part d)Even if the incentive compatibility conditions are met, for the policy to work, the workers need to be willing to participate in the screening process at all instead of just taking their outside employment opportunities. For the regular workers, theyre definitely willing to participate because they wont be taking the examinations, but will still be getting $90,000. What is the maximum number of examinations that the employer can require before the exceptional workers will take their outside employment opportunity?11) Adverse Selection in the Labor Market (Part e)Propose one specific value of nn that would make this hiring policy a successful screen, thus allowing the employer to differentiate between the two different types of workers based on the actions of the workers?

Calculate break-even and payback period analyses.
InstructionsMaryland Home and Community-Based Services (MHCBS) is considering a major expansion that will enable it to attract a different clientele to its organization. Currently, they serve only 34% of the frail elderly seniors and persons with disabilities in the local area. The new chief executive officer (CEO) would like the organization to expand its revenue stream by investing in a multipurpose center serving healthy seniors by offering them arts and crafts and health and wellness programs. The center will also contain an Internet café offering nutritious breakfast and lunch options.The CEO has commissioned a needs assessment and the studys results reveal the following:Approximately 120 seniors in the local community are interested in this center.The CEO expects growth of the aging population to be at least 10% each year.Cost growth across all areas of expenses is expected to rise by 5% each year.The CEO has presented her proposal and financial information to the Board of Directors, and they have advised her that they are in full support of her strategy only if the program is a benefit to the community and if the organization can recoup its investment in five years.The CEO has asked you if this can be achieved. Based on the information presented in the scenario:Calculate break-even and payback period analyses. See Excel Spreadsheet to show your calculation.Explain, in a 2-3 page memorandum to the CEO, their implications.

Explain why identifying function is so important to successful behavior intervention programs.
For this assignment, you are a board certified behavior analyst who has been consulting with six school districts in your state. You have provided guidance to school psychologists and have conducted FBAs and made recommendations to Individualized Education Program (IEP) teams regarding academic and behavior goals.Recently, your state school board contacted you to thank you for the work you have been doing in the schools and to ask a favor. The members of the state school board recently read a peer-reviewed research article about the efficacy of training schoolteachers to conduct FBAs. The paper was convincing, and the board would like you to conduct training in not only how to conduct an FBA but also how to implement some basic behavior acquisition and reduction programs based on ABA principles. You agreed to conduct a 2-day workshop and begin preparations for the intensive training.Create a 10- to 12-slide narrated PowerPoint presentation to include the following:Explain why identifying function is so important to successful behavior intervention programs.Base this on your Unit 9 reading assignment and present facts supporting the value of conducting FBAs in the public-school system and why it is important that teachers have the skills needed to conduct them.To illustrate the importance of identifying the function of a target behavior before implementing a BIP, provide an example of a target behavior that is being inadvertently reinforced because the function of the behavior has not been identified.Ethical Considerations for Assessments and Behavior-Change InterventionsExplain how you can select and design assessments using the Behavior Analyst Certification Boards (BACBs) Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts, Code 2.13.Explain how you can select, design, and implement behavior-change interventions using the BACBs Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts, Code 2.14.Discuss the two components of the FBA, the indirect assessment and the direct descriptive assessment, and explain how they are carried out. Include the following in your discussion:Describe two indirect assessment approaches/tools.Describe two direct descriptive assessment approaches/tools.Detail how the probable function of a target behavior can be hypothesized based upon the results of the FBA.Define the two broad categories of behavior function.Acquisition Programs: Shaping and ChainingDefine shaping and chaining. (Include the three types of chaining procedures in your discussion.)Create a simple scenario in which a complex behavior can be broken down and trained using one of the chaining methods. Create a task analysis to illustrate the concept.Using one of the components in the task analysis used for your chaining example, demonstrate how shaping can be used to train that one component.Reduction Programs: Differential ReinforcementDescribe the methods of differential reinforcement of alternative (DRA) behavior; differential reinforcement of other (DRO) behavior; and differential reinforcement of incompatible (DRI) behavior.Create a scenario in which you illustrate the use of one of the differential reinforcement approaches (DRA; DRO; DRI).Generalization and MaintenanceDefine generalization and maintenance.Explain the importance of programming for generalization and maintenance.Present three techniques that can be used to program for generalization.

Is there a double-standard in terms of gender and photo filters?
I??????????????????????nstructionsIn this current paper, you will read five research articles, often summarizing what the authors did and found, and using that information to help support your Gender and Filters study hypotheses. IMPORTANT: Yes, you need five references, but note that you can spend a lot of time (a page or two!) summarizing one reference but only a sentence or two summarizing others. Thus spend more time on the more relevant articles!For Paper I, start the paper broadly and then narrow your focus (think about the hourglass example provided in the lecture). My suggestion is to give a brief overview of your paper topic in your opening paragraph, hinting at the research variables that you plan to look at for this study. Your next paragraphs will review prior research (that is, the five references required for this paper). Make sure that you draw connections between these references rather than just listing them. Use smooth transitions between paragraphs and build a case that supports your study predictions. Your final paragraphs will use the research you just summarized to support your research hypothesis. And yes, that means you MUST include your study predictions in this paper (which we provided in the researcher instructions, the debriefing statement, and at the end of these instructions. Use those predictions! They go at the end of your Paper). A good hint is to look at the literature reviews of the articles that you are using as references as you write your own paper! See what those authors did in their literature reviews and mimic their literature review style. Keep in mind that this Paper will end with your hypothesis (and your references) rather than moving directly into your study methods.At the beginning of your new study two story, your audience knows some of the story from study one, so there is no need to rewrite what you already presented. Rather, you need to set the stage for the new sequel storyline. Introduce your new character (your new independent variable). Talk about this somewhat in isolation(what?????????????????????? does research say about this variable on its own). Once you defineand clarify what this new variable is and how it has been used in priorresearch, start to show how it connects studies one and two.1. For example, imagine that your new independent variable alters thegender of the Twitter page owner. Some participants still see Lilypost a picture followed by Bella either posting a filtered orunfiltered photo of Lily. Other participants see Peter post apicture followed by Bella either posting a filtered or unfilteredphoto of Peter (note that well keep Bella similar in all conditionsso the only thing that really differs is whether the photo she posts isof a filtered or unfiltered Lily vs Peter). For your paper, youwould first want to discuss research on male appearance standards.This might focus on self-presentation on social media, photoshopping, body image, filters, etc. Then describe how a focus onmale filters might differ (or be the same as) from perceptions offemales and filters. Is there a double-standard in terms of genderand photo filters?2. So, step one is to introduce the new concept (GENDER) while step two is toshow how the new concept fits in with your original study (FILTERS USED ON PHOTOS).IMPORTANTStart off by introducing this new concept which is gender. Summarize what the authors did and found in each article and use this to support the Gender hypotheses.The hypothesis is:In general, we predicted that if participants saw a Twitter users friend post an unfiltered (and less flattering) photo of the user that differed from a filtered photo the user originally posted (i.e. the unfiltered condition), then they would more strongly agree that the original Twitter user seemed insecure and dissatisfied about their appearance, at least when compared to participants who saw the friend repost the original filtered photo.We also predicted that participants could rate the Twitter user as more insecure in the female photo condition than in the male pho??????????????????????to condition.
