of Self-Regulation in Kindergarteners

ABSTRACT. Research has found that early childhood education positively
impacts the academic success and educational achievement of children all
the way through early adulthood (Barnett & Frede, 2010; Campbell &
Ramey, 1994; Lamy, 2013). Tough (2012) suggested that preschools help
children develop self-regulation skills that are necessary for educational
success. It was hypothesized that preschool attendance would predict higher
self-regulation than nonattendance, and that girls would have higher
self-regulation than boys, as measured by behavioral scores and teacher
ratings of self-regulation. Participants included 37 kindergartners. Preschool
attendees and nonattendees were tested by condition-blind researchers on
2 subtests of the Preschool Self-Regulation Assessment. Additionally,
teachers used items from the Children’s Self-Control Scale to rate
participants. A 2 x 2 (Condition x Sex) Analysis of Variance was performed
on the Balance Beam, the Gift Wrap Scores, and the teacher ratings of
behavioral and cognitive self-control. The Balance Beam Scores were higher
in the preschool condition than in the nonpreschool condition, F(1, 33)
= 6.18, p = .02, ?2 = .15. Also, the Gift Wrap Scores were higher in the
preschool condition than in the nonpreschool condition, F(1, 33) = 10.69,
p = .003, ?2 = .24. Teacher’s ratings of behavioral self-control for girls was
higher than for boys, F(1, 33) = 6.94, p = .01, ?2 = .17. Also teacher’s ratings
of cognitive self-control for girls was higher than for boys, F(1, 33) = 7.73,
p < .001, ?2 = .19. The benefit of preschool education for the acquisition of
self-regulation is addressed.

cademic performance is about more than
good test scores and a high grade point
average. The educational system seems
designed to teach students how to get along with
their peers, follow instructions, and solve problems,
among other things. All of these skills depend
on self-discipline as demonstrated by numerous
studies, which have shown that the most successful
students (behaviorally and academically) are those
who have high levels of self-discipline (Bear, 2010;
Denham et al., 2012; Duckworth & Seligman, 2005;
Kuhnle, Hofer, & Kilian, 2012; Rimm-Kaufman,
Curby, Grimm, Nathanson, & Brock, 2009).
Additionally, children who have higher levels of
self-regulation were found to have higher levels
of success in the future (Barnett & Frede, 2010;
Campbell & Ramey, 1994; Lamy, 2013).
Although self-discipline and self-regulation are
often closely tied in operational definitions, Rui
and Yi-Lung (2015) described self-discipline as the
ability to execute a task while suppressing the urge
to become engaged in distractors when pursuing
a goal. Although slightly different, self-regulation
was defined as the extent to which individuals
are able to demonstrate control over their own
behavior (Baumeister, Bratslavsky, Muraven, &
Tice, 1998; Shoda, Mischel, & Peake, 1990). Kopp
(1982) traced the development of self-regulation

and noted that young children who manifested
only some degree of self-control, a precursor to
self-regulation, continued to have problems in
delaying gratification and were not able to make
use of diversionary strategies, behaviors necessary
in self-regulation. Because the terms self-regulation
and self-discipline are similar, the main distinction
between these definitions is the presence of an
alternative goal to be accomplished. This is found
in self-discipline, though is not necessarily required
for the operational definition of self-regulation.
Because Duckworth, Grant, Loew, Oettingen, and
Gollwitzer (2011) found that one probable mechanism by which students acquired self-discipline was
through self-regulation strategies, the current study
examined both self-discipline and self-regulation,
and specifically measured self-regulation as a means
of achieving self-discipline.
Researchers Duckworth and Seligman (2005)
substantiated the vital connection between selfdiscipline and academic performance. Their
study measured students’ academic performance
and self-discipline through standardized tests,
student surveys, and teacher questionnaires.
Self-disciplined students had better attendance
and performed better in academics compared
with students who were not self-disciplined. More
importantly, self-disciplined students were more
successful than students with a higher IQ. This
finding had implications for what increases academic performance and challenged the generally
accepted idea that a smarter student is a more
successful student. Similarly, Kuhnle et al. (2012)
suggested that self-control was important to success
both inside and outside of the classroom. In the
classroom, self-control helps students curb their
social impulses that distracted them from learning, and outside of the classroom, it helped them
schedule their free time for studies. The study used
eighth graders and took measurements of selfcontrol, life balance, and flow at the beginning and
end of the school year. Similar to Duckworth and
Seligman, they found that self-control predicted
school grades and was also related to life balance
and satisfaction of life.
Not only does the presence of self-discipline
have positive effects on academic performance,
but the lack of it may have negative effects as well.
Cleary, Platten, and Nelson (2008) found that
students who were referred for academic problems
were more likely to have a deficit in self-regulation
and motivation skills. Similarly, Lee, Cheng, and
Lin (2013) collected academic information from
adolescents, as well as surveys of self-control, an
indicator of self-regulation. According to the
results, self-control was necessary to sustain a
satisfactory quality of life. This further underlined
the importance of self-regulation in academic performance and to a general positive quality of life.
Research has pointed out the importance of
both self-discipline and self-regulation in academic
success. However, of more relevance is how and
whether self-regulation can be taught. Based on
his work in humanistic-experiential psychology,
Combs (1985) provided self-regulatory principles
as a means of achieving self-discipline that teachers
can use in the classroom. These included setting
the context for experiences of success and feelings
of belonging. Bear (2010) surveyed the current
research and presented strategies to encourage
self-discipline in the classroom. His comprehensive guide promoting self-discipline emphasizes
student-centered strategies and techniques in
which students learn to guide and regulate themselves. Duckworth et al. (2011) tested a method of
teaching self-regulation called mental contrasting.
This exercise includes thinking about dreams, leaving goals that are wasteful, and planning for the
future. As a result, the mental contrasting group
completed significantly more practice questions
than the control group, suggesting that behaviors
that encourage planning can have an impact on
an individual’s self-regulation.
Further research has suggested that the earlier
years in life are crucial in learning self-regulation.
For example, Rimm-Kaufman et al. (2009) found
that the quality of the classroom, more specifically
the teacher’s effectiveness in classroom management, was linked to children’s behavioral and
cognitive self-control, indicating that the nature
and quality of the classroom environment may
encourage students to be more self-regulated. In
addition, Lee et al. (2013) found that self-control
may be strengthened by increasing self-esteem
in earlier years. Fuhs, Farran, and Nesbitt (2013)
examined preschool teacher’s interactions and
behavior in the classroom, and found that more
approving behavior and positive emotional tone
were related to children’s subsequent gains in
cognitive self-regulation skills. Denham et al.
(2012) tested a large sample of 3- and 4-year-olds
on measures of emotion knowledge and preschool
self-regulation assessments in late fall and again in
early spring. Developmental changes in emotion
knowledge as well as self-regulation were seen, with
higher levels associated with later academic success.

Preschool, which is intended as a foundational
introduction to the workings of school life, is an
ideal launching pad from which self-regulation can
develop. The early acquisition of self-regulation
sets students on a positive trajectory, potentially
enabling them to reach greater achievements than
otherwise possible.
Further, Bassett, Denham, Wyatt, and WarrenKhot (2012) found a positive relationship between
teachers’ reports of children’s school readiness
and executive control, measured by an assessment
battery of preschooler’s self-regulation. More
recently, it was found that, although girls seem
to consistently earn better grades than boys in
early primary school, the mechanism to explain
this appears to be involved in teachers’ reports
of self-discipline (Duckworth et al., 2015). Using
teachers’ reports of kindergarten girls’ more positive learning approaches such as task persistence
and self-discipline, Ready, LoGerfo, Burkam, and
Lee (2005) also noted a strong connection between
high academic performance and self-discipline.
This combined research has suggested that,
from the start, girls seem to have the upper hand
with self-discipline and academic performance.
However, this pattern does not necessarily take
into account whether children were exposed to a
prekindergarten environment.
Raver (2012) determined that self-regulation is
modifiable (e.g., increasing executive functioning
skills) by earlier educational intervention, which
points to the necessity for accessible preschool
education for every child. Although Love, ChazanCohen, Raikes, and Brooks-Gunn (2013) did not
find differences in the early academic achievement
between Early Head Start (EHS) and non-EHS
students, they did find that EHS students had
better attention spans, more effective approaches
to learning, and fewer behavioral problems than
non-EHS students.
Currently, 30 states are attempting to draft
legislation that would make prekindergarten
education accessible to all. In the 2014 State of
the Union address, President Obama called on
Congress to invest in high-quality early education
for all (Kristof, 2014). The rationale behind this
movement is the research that has shown that early
childhood education will positively impact the
academic success and educational achievements
of children all the way up through early adulthood (Barnett & Frede, 2010; Campbell & Ramey,
1994; Lamy, 2013). Tough (2012) suggested that
preschools help children develop critical skills such
as self-regulation that are necessary for life success
rather than simply providing academic enrichment.
But before a national preschool education referendum should be set into law, more studies need
to be conducted to determine whether preschools
are in fact teaching critical skills like self-regulation.
To that end, the current study sought to
examine whether preschool attendance affected
self-regulation, and would thereby increase the
likelihood of acquiring self-discipline at an earlier
age. Based on previous research, we hypothesized
that preschool attendance would predict higher
self-regulation scores, measured by behavioral tests
and teacher ratings of kindergarten children. We
also hypothesized that self-regulation would be
higher for girls than for boys.
Method
Participants
Participants consisted of 37 children (17 girls,
20 boys) ranging in age from 4 to 6 years old
(M = 5.08, SD = 0.43) attending a small public
elementary school in northern California. The ethnic breakdown of the sample included 26 Hispanic
(70%) and 11 European American participants
(30%). Several of the Hispanic kindergarteners
were not proficient in English comprehension and
were tested by the Spanish speaking researcher.
With respect to preschool attendance, 28 children
(13 girls, 15 boys) had attended preschool and
nine (4 girls, 5 boys) had not. The 28 children
who had attended preschool consisted of seven
(25%) European American and 21 (75%) Hispanic participants. The nine children who had
not attended preschool consisted of four (44%)
European American and five (56%) Hispanic participants. Although participants were selected on
the basis of signed parental consent forms, children
signaled their assent when they agreed to leave the
classroom with the experimenter and be tested in
a nearby area.
Materials
Two subtests from the Preschool Self-Regulation
Assessment (Smith-Donald, Raver, Hayes, & Richardson, 2007) were used to assess self-regulation
in the kindergarten children: Balance Beam and
Gift Wrap. These subtests were selected because
Smith-Donald et al. (2007) found high reliabilities
(intraclass correlation); the Balance Beam task
had a reliability of .98 and the Gift Wrap had a
reliability of .90 (peek) and .81 (touch). They were
also selected for their ease of administration and

because extensive experimenter training was not
required, thus minimizing potential error.
For the Balance Beam task, a simulated
balance beam was made from a 6-foot piece of
masking tape. The piece of tape was placed on the
floor for subjects to walk on like a balance beam.
Participants were asked to walk across the beam
as slowly as they could (measured in seconds) on
three different trials. In Trial 1, they were simply
instructed to walk the balance beam. In Trial 2,
they were asked to walk as slowly as possible. For
Trial 3, participants were asked to walk even more
slowly. Larger differences between Trial 3 and Trial
1 related to higher levels of behavioral self-control.
The Gift Wrap portion of the experiment used
scissors, wrapping paper, and 37 prewrapped pencil
gifts. The scissors and wrapping paper were used
to simulate the wrapping of a gift; the gifts were
already wrapped to save time during data collection. Self-regulation was measured by timing how
long (up to 60 s) participants would wait without
peeking at the gift while the researcher was wrapping the gift and how long participants would wait
without touching the gift (up to 60 s). The time
without peeking and the time without touching
the gift were summed, and higher scores related to
higher levels of cognitive self-regulation. The cognitive self-regulation score from the Gift Wrap and
behavioral self-regulation score from the Balance
Beam were summed to obtain a combined behavioral score of self-regulation. Higher scores related
to higher levels of self-regulation. Children’s times
from the Balance Beam and the Gift Wrap sections
were scored on a data sheet (see Appendix A).
Teachers were given a rating sheet comprised
of a modified Teacher’s Self-Control Rating Scale
(Humphrey, 1982). The original scale rated
participants’ cognitive and behavioral levels of
self-regulation with test-retest reliabilities of .93
and .88, respectively. This scale rates the frequency
of several behaviors on a 7-point Likert-type scale
from 1 (hardly ever) to 7 (frequently). Although
Humphrey used a 5-point scale, to allow for higher
order analyses the scale was expanded to a 7-point
scale. Only three items from each subsection were
used in order to help make the rating scale shorter,
quicker, and less onerous for the teachers to fill
out. The three items of cognitive self-control were
“sticks to what he or she is doing, even during a
lengthy, unpleasant task,” “anticipates the consequences of his/her actions,” and “works toward
goals,” which had test-retest reliabilities of .95, .57,
and .93, respectively. The three items of behavioral
self-control were “talks out of turn,” “gets into fights
with other children,” and “disrupts others when
they are doing things,” with reliabilities of .79, .78,
and .76, respectively. These behavioral self-control
items were reverse-scored so that higher ratings
related to higher levels of self-control
Procedure
Prior to conducting the study, the researchers
received institutional review board approval from
Pacific Union College in a letter dated October 22,
2013. Researchers were blind to which students had
attended preschool and which had not during data
collection. Five researchers (3 men and 2 women)
individually introduced themselves to participants.
There were no sex difference detected for the
researchers on the children’s self-regulation scores.
Each participant was taken outside the classroom
where masking tape simulating a balance beam
was on the ground. The researcher instructed
participants to walk the balance beam from one
end to the other. Trial 1 was timed and recorded.
Next, participants were told to rewalk the balance
beam as slowly as they could for Trial 2. Finally,
participants were told to walk the balance beam for
Trial 3 even more slowly if possible. The third trial
was also timed and recorded, and the difference
between Trial 3 and Trial 1 was used to determine
the child’s level of self-regulation.
For the Gift Wrap test, participants were told
that they would receive a gift for their participation
but that it first needed to be wrapped. Participants
were instructed to turn around in their seat and
told that they should not peek while the gift was
being wrapped. The researcher pretended to wrap
the present by creating noise with wrapping paper
and a scissors. When the participant peeked or at
60 s, the participant was allowed to turn around and
the time was recorded. Next, the gift was placed in
front of the participant, who was instructed not to
touch the present, while the experimenter finished
cleaning up the wrapping paper. During these
60 s, or until the participant touched the present,
the researcher would clean up the surrounding
area, and the time was recorded. The sum of the
two intervals determined a second measure of selfregulation. The Gift Wrap and the Balance Beam
measures were added to make a behavioral score
of self-regulation. At the end, participants were
thanked and praised for their participation. They
were also told to put their gift in their backpack
so that their classmates would not be able to see
the gift.

In addition to these two subtests, the kindergarten teachers filled out selected items from
the Children’s Self-Control Scale, which rated
participants’ cognitive and behavioral levels of
self-regulation (Humphrey, 1982).
Descriptive Statistics
Measured in seconds, the Balance Beam Scores
(M = 4.41, SD = 9.73) and Gift Wrap Scores
(M = 95.01, SD = 33.90) were used as two behavioral
measures of self-regulation. The Children’s SelfControl Scale, which measured each kindergartener’s cognitive (M = 14.68, SD = 6.85) and behavioral
(M = 13.89, SD = 5.31) levels of self-regulation,
provided a teacher rating of self-regulation for each
kindergartener (M = 28.57, SD = 10.82). Tables 1
through 4 summarize the means, standard error

ratings on cognitive and behavioral items of the
Children’s Self-Control Scale.
Primary Analysis
To test the hypotheses that preschool attendance
and child sex would predict higher self-regulation
in kindergarteners, a 2 x 2 (Condition [preschool,
no preschool] x Sex) between-subjects Analysis of
Variance was performed on the Balance Beam and
the Gift Wrap Scores. The Balance Beam Scores
were significantly higher in the preschool attendance condition (M = 6.62, SD = 8.68) than in the
no preschool attendance condition (M = -2.47, SD
= 10.06), F(1, 33) = 6.18, p = .02, ?2 = .15. Also, the
Gift Wrap Scores were significantly higher for those
in the preschool attendance condition (M = 104.34,
SD = 22.99) than in the no preschool attendance
condition (M = 65.96, SD = 46.18), F(1, 33) = 10.69,
p = .003, ?2 = .24. There were no significant main
effects for sex or condition by sex interactions for
the Balance Beam and Gift Wrap Scores. To further
test the hypothesis that preschool attendance and
child sex would predict higher self-regulation in
kindergarten children, a 2 x 2 (Condition [preschool, no preschool] x Sex) between-subjects
Analysis of Variance was performed on the teacher
ratings of behavioral self-control and the teacher
ratings of cognitive self-control. The main effect
for sex was significant with teacher’s ratings of
behavioral self-control for girls (M = 18.12, SD =
5.22) higher than for boys (M = 11.75, SD = 6.81),
F(1, 33) = 6.94, p = .01, ?2 = .17. In addition, the
main effect for sex was significant with teacher’s
ratings of cognitive self-control for girls (M = 16.47,
SD = 3.67) higher than for boys (M = 11.70, SD =
5.58), F(1, 33) = 7.73, p < .001, ?2 = .19. There were
no significant main effects for condition or condition by sex interactions for the teacher ratings of
behavioral or cognitive self-control.
Discussion
The results of the current study were mixed in support of the hypothesis that preschool attendance
would be an important predictor of self-regulation
in kindergarten children. Preschool attendees
were better able to regulate their speed during
the Balance Beam test and manage their urge to
touch or peak at the present during the Gift Wrap
test. However, the teacher ratings of self-regulation
did not corroborate the behavioral measures and
failed to differentiate between those who had been
to preschool and those who had not. Additionally, the correlations between teacher ratings and
behavioral measures of self-regulation were not
significant. This was contrary to the findings of
Rimm-Kaufman et al. (2009) who found teacher
ratings and behavioral measures of self-regulation
to be highly correlated. One explanation may lie
in the difference between teacher ratings for boys
and girls.
It is possible that the sex differences found
in teacher ratings of self-regulation were due to
the subjective nature of self-report surveys. The
hypothesis that girls would have higher levels of
self-regulation than boys, though not supported in
the behavioral scores of self-regulation, was found
in the teacher ratings of self-regulation. This sex
bias in teacher ratings found in the current study
supported the research of Miller, Koplewicz, and
Klein (1997) who found evidence that preschool
boys were rated much higher than girls in hyperactivity, inattention, and conduct problems in the
classroom. Given that this sex difference in the current study was only present in the subjective views
of the teachers, it is possible that this difference
is due to a sex bias in primary school instructors.
Pollack (1998) believed that many teachers suffer
from the myth of boys’ toxicity, which states that
part of being a boy is misbehaving and getting into
trouble. This might explain why teacher ratings
of self-regulation for boys were lower despite the
fact that boys were no different from girls on their
ability to self-regulate on the Balance Beam and
Gift Wrap tasks.
A unique aspect of the current study was having both dual language learners (DLL) and English-only (EO) children in the sample. Although
research (Yazejian, Bryant, Freel, & Burchinal,
2015) has shown that age of entry and duration in
preschool yielded higher language outcomes for
both populations, there was a bigger difference for
those who were DLL. This suggests that the DLL
who attended preschool may not have had any
discernible difficulty understanding the simple task
directions, and having a Spanish translator available may have eliminated most instances of misunderstanding due to language comprehension.
One limitation of the study might have been
that some participants realized that they were
being timed during the Balance Beam trials, and
this might have affected their performance. The
possibility of demand characteristics could have
influenced the data in the opposite direction of
the hypothesis. Future studies should find a way
for researchers to record the time in a less conspicuous way.

Similarly, the gift items used in the Gift Wrap
test were pencils, which were easily identifiable as
pencils when wrapped. This could have dissuaded
the children from wanting to peek or touch the
gift, which would confound the essential detail of
the subtest. Future research could control for this
by wrapping the item in a more concealed manner.
The current study also did not provide the specific
practices that were implemented or quality of
the preschools that the participants attended. In
addition, there was no access to socioeconomic
information or parenting styles of either preschool
or nonpreschool attendees. Further, there was no
way to evaluate whether these factors influenced
the self-regulation of students going through these
preschool programs.
Despite these limitations, there are some
significant outcomes, which could offer additional
perspectives into the effectiveness of preschool.
Because the students who attended preschool had
the ability to better control themselves in each task,
their high self-regulation level predicted that they
will be more ready to enter a kindergarten learning environment. Children with higher levels of
self-regulation were found to have higher levels
of future academic success (Barnett & Frede,
2010; Campbell & Ramey, 1994; Lamy, 2013). The
current study offered additional evidence that selfregulation is present in primary school children
who have attended preschool. Preschool is a valid
avenue of learning self-regulation. Therefore,
because of this connection between early childhood
self-regulation and later academic success, it is
important that states work to improve and provide
access to preschool programs.
However, these findings and practical significance do not stop here. The current study may also
serve as an agent to inspire future research into
how self-regulation is formed. Although we found
that primary school children who had gone to
preschool were significantly more self-regulated
than those who had not, the current study did not
find a correlation between behavioral measures
and teacher rat

Contemporary insights regarding identity emphasize its situated, negotiated nature (i.e., identity is
shaped by – and shapes in response – the contexts in which it is formed; Holland, Lachicotte, Skinner,
& Cain, 1998; Lave & Wenger, 1991) Recent work also suggests that this identity/context intersection
holds powerful implications regarding engagement in learning (Brophy, 2008). This pair of qualitative
studies drew from contemporary models connecting learning with identity (Study 1: cultural modeling,
Lee, 2007 and third-space/hybrid-identities, Gutiérrez, 2008; Study 2: Kids’ business inquiry projects,
Fairbanks, 2000) to explore the nature and impact of such connections among disaffected ninth-grade
English students at a high-needs school. Results demonstrate evidence of: (1) a signi?cant connection
between identity and learning; (2) students’ negotiation of engaged patterns of participation; (3) the
relevance of student voice to this process; and (4) the impact of connections between identity and learning on students’ participation in, and affective response to, learning.

1. Introduction
The work of achieving a well-integrated identity has traditionally
been considered a critical developmental task, one that is particularly salient for adolescents and that often preoccupies their energy
and attention (Erikson, 1968). Recent socio-cultural and situated
explorations of identity (e.g., Holland, Lachicotte, Skinner, & Cain,
1998; Lave & Wenger, 1991; Schachter, 2005; Vygotsky, 1978) have
shed important light on this process by bringing attention to the
intersection between the development of identity and the context
of that development; that is, they have highlighted the interplay
of personal, social, critical, and cultural situational factors in our
understanding of identity. In contrast to conceiving of identity as
an achieved understanding of the contours of self and as primarily
a function of individual mental processes (as some have interpreted
Erikson’s work), these theorists conceive of identity as the pattern of
practices and choices that emerge (and potentially shift) within the
interaction of person and context. Identity can be seen therefore as a
type of ongoing negotiation of participation, shaped by – and
shaping in response – the context(s) in which it occurs.
Recent theory and research have also recognized this intersection between identity and context as a potentially signi?cant aspect of student engagement and motivation. For example, Brophy
(2008) reminded us that Dewey (1910) de?ned genuine interest
in learning as actually an identi?cation of the self with a concept
or object, an identi?cation that leads to self-initiated exploration
(i.e., energized engagement) of that Concept or object. Similarly,
Bergin (1999) suggested that individuals develop schemata associ? Corresponding author. Fax: +1 336 334 4120.

ated with their identity and are likely to be more engaged with
topics and experiences that resonate with that schema. Flum and
Kaplan (2006) explained that students who intentionally examine
the relevance and meaning of school content and learning with respect to their sense of who they are (or want to become) develop
an exploratory orientation toward learning that involves actively
seeking/processing information. Considering these insights, a vital
next step in understanding student engagement and motivation is
to discern both the nature and impact of such energizing connections between identity and school-based learning and how these
connections might be reliably established and sustained amidst
the daily demands of classroom life. The two complementary,
exploratory, qualitative studies reported here drew from contemporary models connecting learning with student identity (Study
1: cultural modeling, Lee, 2007 and third space/hybrid identities, Gutiérrez, 2008; Study 2: Kids’ Business inquiry projects, Fairbanks,
2000) to clarify the nature and impact of such connections among
two diverse groups of primarily struggling high school students
within the academic demands of their ninth-grade English class.
2. Emerging views of identity development
Traditional conceptions of identity development – exploring,
identifying, and integrating seemingly disparate aspects of the self
to arrive at a sense of personal continuity across time and context –
have historically been attributed initially to Erikson (1968).
Although a thorough understanding of Erikson’s work reveals his
attention to the cultural, historical, and institutional elements of
identity formation, individual mental processes have often been
given primacy in interpretations of his conception of identity
development (Penuel & Wertsch, 1995; see also Cote & Levine,
B.S. Faircloth / Contemporary Educational Psychology 37 (2012) 186–194
1988; Erikson, 1968; Schachter, 2005). One of the most well established elaborations of Erikson’s work, Marcia’s (1980) identity status model, is based on the degree to which an individual explores,
and commits to, particular identities. McAdams’s life story model
of identity (1996) asserted that individuals living in modern societies provide their lives with coherence and purpose by constructing
evolving narratives of the self (i.e. life stories). Each of these perspectives regard identity development as a process of sorting out
(achieving) a reasonably coherent, workable perspective on the
self; each is also framed, to a great degree, as a primarily individual
psychological process.
In an in?uential contribution to our understanding of development, Bronfenbrenner’s ecological theory (1989; Bronfenbrenner &
Morris, 1998) highlighted the relevance of the multiple, embedded
contexts in which individuals ?nd themselves (e.g., home, family,
peer groups, school, community, culture, history), each of which
may wield a potent in?uence on development. Although identity
has been conceptualized in a variety of ways (Brubaker & Cooper,
2000), growing attention to these ecological complexities may provide the most ‘‘realistic and ecologically valid view’’ (Linnenbrink &
Pintrich, 2000, p. 222). McCaslin (2004; 2009) captured the rich
interplay of personal, social, and cultural in?uences on identity
development in her model of co-regulation of emergent identity
(p. 137). She suggested an ongoing reciprocal press among these
three in?uences that together challenge, shape, and guide (i.e.,
co-regulate) identity.
Many contemporary models have emphasized this situated
nature of identity, raising complex and signi?cant issues. For example, Lave and Wenger’s (1991) framework of identity drew from
practice or activity theory to conceive of identity as an individual’s
pattern of choices or practices situated within particular contexts.
According to these theorists, a range of potential participatory
choices exists at any moment within any community; the term
identities-in-practice refers to the patterns of participation individuals choose to adopt. Use of the term identities-in-practice rather
than identities highlights the important contrast between, on the
one hand, a conception of identity as a set of choices and practices
co-constructed between an individual and a speci?c community,
and, on the other hand, an achieved, relatively uniform sense of self.
In a similar, widely cited, contemporary understanding of
identity, Dorothy Holland and her coauthors also highlighted the
reciprocal interplay between identity and context (Holland et al.,
1998). According to these theorists, the way individuals come
to understand themselves is continually negotiated and coconstructed through what is made possible or necessary amid
the daily practices, encounters, discourses, and struggles available
to them within a particular context (Fairbanks & Ariail, 2006;
Wortham, 2006). Holland and her colleagues have raised an important issue regarding context as the site of identity work when they
refer to contexts as ?gured worlds. This term refers to the fact that
contexts are not neutral places, but are ?gured or socially constructed with distinguishable, institutionally endorsed perspectives regarding expected/accepted types of characters, tasks,
values, and styles of interacting (Holland, Lachicotte, Skinner, &
Cain, 1998). Therefore, at any given moment, individuals have
access to a variety of practices, some of which may be imposed;
identity (i.e., identity-in-practice) can be understood as an ongoing
positioning of self re?ected in how individuals receive, resist, or revise those contextual affordances or constraints (Davies, 2000). It
may be important therefore to consider identities as negotiated,
?uid, and multiple, rather than achieved, unitary, or consistent.
3. Identities-in-practice within learning contexts
The concept of identities-in-practice characterizes learning as
participation in a community of practice, involving not just local
187
events of engagement but also the construction of identities in
relation to the practices within those communities (Wenger,
1999). That is, to learn in any community means to become a particular person (i.e., select a particular pattern of participation) with
respect to the possibilities enabled by that community. For example, by negotiating membership (receiving, resisting, or revising
expectations) within a classroom, students are practicing a particular identity in that context (re?ecting and/or refracting who they
are expected to be, to match who they think they are or want to be
in that particular setting). Moll (1990) reminded us that students’
lives are full of rich, historically accumulated and culturally developed bodies of knowledge, skills and resources – referred to as
funds-of-knowledge – that can be drawn on for such negotiations.
McCarthey and Moje (2002) describe this process as an attempt
by students to create identities or stories that allow them to feel
like they belong in their school setting; they ‘‘just want to be part
of the story’’ (p. 232). The ability to craft such connections (i.e., develop a sense of belonging) wields a powerful, possibly essential
in?uence on engagement (Connell & Wellborn, 1991; Faircloth &
Hamm, 2005; Goodenow, 1993; Juvonen, 2006). Identity may
therefore be manifested and engagement empowered as students
craft an identity-in-practice in the classroom.
Given the nature and the value of such classroom identity work,
it is important to consider relevant dimensions of the ?gured world
of schools. Schools typically legitimize certain school practices
while divesting others of status or approval (Bartlett & Holland,
2002; Hatt, 2007; Rubin, 2007; Wortham, 2006). Critical theorists
have long urged educators to construct learning environments that
are meaningful to students (Fine, 1991; Freire, 1970; Greene,
1995). Failure to do so – which is all too common (Hargreaves,
1996; McDermott & Varenne, 1995) – silences student voices and
alienates students from educational experiences (Moll, 1990). A
gap therefore often exists between students’ preferred choices or
practices and school-based expectations; often it is this gap, rather
than students’ intelligence, skills, or abilities, that must be reconciled in order for them to succeed in school (Klos, 2006).
Thus, from an ecological, socio-cultural, situated, or ?gured
world perspective, a student’s negotiation of their identity-in-practice within the context of school (i.e., their participation, or how
they choose to receive, resist, or revise contextual cues) is powerfully positioned to either constrain or nurture their engagement in
learning. The cost is high when students have infrequent opportunities to harness what is important and powerful to them in order
to negotiate meaningful participation in learning (Fairbanks &
Ariail, 2006).
4. Supporting connections between identity and learning
Among motivation scholars, the late Brophy (2004, 2008) has
played a major role in highlighting the intersection between students’ identities and their learning experience as a particularly
powerful site for student engagement. He pointed out that according to Dewey’s (1910) notion of inquiry, it is when the public
curriculum and the students’ personal curriculum become intertwined that students ?nd engagement worthwhile (see also
Guthrie & Anderson, 1999). Similarly, Waterman (2004) reported
that goal-oriented engagement is especially high when activities
connect with an individual’s identity or core sense of being. That
is, the route to making the curriculum desirable, or most engaging,
for students can be summarized in the formula: ‘‘It is desirable to
act in accordance to one’s personal identity’’ (Nisan, 1992, p. 133).
This objective requires creating classroom cultures in which students discover who they are and negotiate connections between
who they are and what they do in school. Flum and Kaplan
(2006) suggested that teachers can support this process by
dialoguing with students about the meaning of school learning,
188
B.S. Faircloth / Contemporary Educational Psychology 37 (2012) 186–194
scaffolding students’ skill at relating material to self-knowledge,
and encouraging students’ sense of self as related to school content
and experiences.
Tan and Calabrese Barton (2008) illustrated how paying close
attention to students’ identities-in-practice amidst the ?gured
world of school provides insight into activities that sustained
minority girls’ active engagement in science. By carefully observing
the classroom practices of sixth grade science students, the
researchers observed students transform from an identity of ‘‘outsider’’ (low levels of engagement) to that of a ‘‘potential scientist’’
(active engagement) within one school year. Such a positive transformation appeared contingent on successes that students experienced when they authored various individually meaningful
identities as a class participant. For example, one student who
saw herself as a budding pop musician wrote (and taught to the
class) a song about course content. Another, who characterized
herself as a leader, moved from problematic to prominent student
as she shared with the class the knowledge that she gained from
voluntary Saturday ?eld trips and became actively involved in eliciting class participation in the ?eld trips. For these students, learning was about gaining a space in the classroom that matched what
they believed they had to offer. The non-commodi?ed (i.e., not traditionally valued, p. 64) funds-of-knowledge inherent in their
backgrounds were used to author new identities-in-practice that
elevated their engagement in learning.
It is this situated, negotiated understanding of identity that informed the current two studies’ exploration of students’ identity
work in relationship to their engagement. The studies drew from
three models for consciously designing connections between students’ identities and school learning: Study 1: cultural modeling
(Lee, 2007) and third space/hybrid identities (Gutiérrez, 2008)
and Study 2: Kids’ Business inquiry projects (Fairbanks, 2000).
4.1. Cultural modeling
Using a process referred to as cultural modeling, Lee (2007) has
suggested that schools must design learning experiences and environments in ways that bridge the differences between schoolbased expectations and students’ funds-of-knowledge. Cultural
strengths/resources suggested by Lee as examples that can be built
on in classroom learning include the rich metaphorical underpinnings of the culturally-valued speech genre known as signifying
or playing the dozens, or a youth’s ability to classify and identify
songs within musical genres as a way of introducing the practice
of naming and classifying in other knowledge ?elds. In a similar
comparison between the ‘‘smartness’’ that students believe characterizes them – and is required for survival – outside of school
(street-smarts) and that which is required to survive inside school
(book smarts), Hatt (2007) agreed that conscious attempts on the
part of schools to blend the ‘‘authentic’’ and ‘‘academic’’ lives of
students can allow youth to stay connected with their identities
(community, cultural, personal) while simultaneously engaging
at school.
4.2. Third space/hybrid identities
One of the most explicit applications of a connection between
identity and learning can be found in the notions of third space/hybrid identities. Gutiérrez and colleagues (Gutiérrez, 2008; Gutiérrez
& Larson, 2007) de?ned third space as a space that blends the
of?cial, traditional de?nition of experiences and expectations at
school, and the unof?cial space of facets of identity that students
hold dear (e.g., from community, culture, family, interests) but
are typically accorded less attention or respect at school. This approach allows students to develop what she refers to as hybrid
identities, which interweave personal perspectives with the values
and demands of school. In a study of urban, Latino high school students, Moje et al. (2004) found that although students had signi?cant funds-of-knowledge available to them from their lives outside
school, these funds-of-knowledge were rarely accessed in the
school settings. The researchers argued that by attending to that
which is relevant and important to the student, teachers could help
students create a hybrid identity that disrupted the negative patterns of academic motivation generated by the marginalization
students experience in traditional school settings. Indeed, research
demonstrates both increased engagement and achievement when
such third spaces are constructed in classrooms (Faircloth, 2009;
Lee, 2007).
4.3. Kids’ business inquiry projects
The idea that school learning should be connected with students’ identity is also closely aligned with current practices offering students a voice in the texts and topics of their schoolwork
(Atwell, 1998; Ivey, 1999; Rief, 1992; Worthy, 1996). Fairbanks
(2000) harnessed this notion by inviting students to investigate
what she referred to as kids’ business – i.e., topics of their own
choosing that had a speci?c connection to their lived experiences.
Students researched self-selected topics, wrote extended research
papers on their topics, and presented their results in formats of
their own choosing. Such personal signi?cance closed the gap between learning and students’ lives, providing them with real reasons to engage in schoolwork.
Drawn from a larger, multi-year study of high school students’
connection with learning, the two studies presented here harnessed these three strategies for crafting connections between students’ identities and their learning experiences in ninth-grade
English. By exploring these issues, this work stands to contribute
to our understanding of how students negotiate an engaged identity-in-practice in the classroom, providing concrete, sustainable,
and transferable avenues for connecting identity and learning.
Moreover, this work explored these issues among primarily disaffected (remedial, repeating or struggling) students in a high-needs,
low-performing school. Given the critical role of such engagement,
especially among struggling students, and the potentially preoccupying nature of identity, these studies offer important insight into
supporting engagement and therefore academic success among
this group of students.
The speci?c research questions explored in each study were:
1. What connections do adolescents report making between issues
and experiences that they ?nd important or authentic (perspectives that may inform their participatory choices, i.e., their identities-in-practice) and their experience in their ninth-grade
English class, given the opportunity to focus on or build such
connections?
2. What evidence exists that students negotiate engaged identities-in-practice in their ninth-grade English class, given the
opportunity to connect learning to issues relevant to identity
choices?
3. What impact on engagement in learning do high school students report as a result of connections to identity within classroom learning experiences?
5. Study 1
It was the goal of Study 1 to employ the parallel concepts of cultural modeling and third space/hybrid identities to explore these
three research questions within two ninth-grade English classes.
Each class met daily for 90 min for one semester. At least once a
week, students wrote about and discussed as a class their sense
of whether a connection existed between their own lives and per-

spectives (i.e., their funds-of-knowledge or issues relevant to their
participatory choices) and the tasks undertaken and topics studied
in their English class. Four lines of data collection were designed to
further inform our understanding of these issues as they emerged
in the classroom and to capture students’ perspectives (see below
for details): (1) student written work; (2) weekly class session
observations by the researcher; (3) qualitative surveys of student
perspectives; and (4) student interviews used to probe student
perspectives.
As part of these strategies, students speci?cally discussed their
suggestions for creating a stronger relationship between school
learning and identity. During their one-semester course, students
from each class section participated in these activities on at least
a weekly basis. Students also completed weekly journaling activities exploring connections between the literature they were reading and self, as well as other related written assignments (e.g., a
narrative project involving researching and reporting some aspect
of their background).
5.1. Method
5.1.3. Study procedures
5.1.3.1. Survey. At the end of their one-semester course, all participants in attendance (n = 73) completed a qualitative survey
exploring their perspectives regarding the relationship between
their sense of their emerging identities (and identity practices in
the classroom) and their learning opportunities. Surveys were
completed in class, during one class session, and independently,
and were untimed. Survey items included: What activities in your
English class have allowed you to relate what you are studying to
things that matter to you?; What did you like and dislike about these
assignments?; and Describe an English assignment that you would be
willing to devote extra time and energy to and explain why. Openended questions were used in an attempt not to con?ne participant
responses to preconceived themes (see Appendix A for complete
survey).
5.1.1. Participants
Participants in Study 1 included 83 ninth-grade students in two
English classes designed primarily for remedial, restart (repeating),
and struggling students at a public high school located in a large
metropolitan area in the southeastern United States; 38% were
African American, 45% European American, 9% Latino/a, 8% other,
and 53% were female. Participants included all students who returned signed parent/guardian consent forms as well as individual
assent forms, and who were present on the days of study activities
and data collection. Attendance, and therefore participation, varied
widely; of the 83 total participants, 67 were present on the days
during which interviews were conducted and 73 were present to
complete the ?nal survey.
5.1.2. Classroom context
The school in which this study was situated was a large (2000
students each year), diverse, public high school with one of the
highest free/reduced lunch rates – and the highest dropout rate –
in its county. Despite this challenging setting, the teacher in these
classrooms – in her second (Study 1) and third (Study 2) years of
teaching – displayed high energy and ?erce devotion to her students. In the classroom, she was acutely aware of what was going
on (i.e., who was engaged, who was distracted) and consistently
legitimized students’ perspectives, choices, and sense of themselves. She often framed class examples and activities around students’ experiences and interests, as well as asking for and valuing
students’ ideas. Even with reluctant students or during class sessions that students did not appear to ?nd motivating, her comments were patient, encouraging, and supportive. Moments of
frustration were de?nitely demonstrated (especially when job demands challenged her focus on her students) as evidenced by relatively frequent, frustrated outbursts such as, ‘‘If I could just
teach!’’
In an effort to support her students’ connection with learning –
beginning in her ?rst year of teaching – this teacher co-designed
activities (with the researcher and one research assistant) intended
to provide students with opportunities to connect learning with issues relevant to their own identity. It was important to the research team also to design activities that were sustainable, by
virtue of being easily reproducible and congruent with the typical
requirements of high school English. Therefore, strategies were
crafted according to three criteria: (a) connecting learning with
students’ lives and perspectives; (b) blending school culture/
requirements with students’ identity/perspectives (i.e., creating a
third space); and (c) aligning activities with traditional ninth-grade
English requirements (literature, writing, journaling, and discourse) as opposed to merely trading school norms for students’
preferences. When studying The Odyssey, students discussed and
wrote about goals they held that they would be willing to devote
a lifetime to (as Odysseus had) and whether there was a relationship between their class work and these personally held goals.
When reading To Kill a Mockingbird, they addressed both the ways
that Atticus Finch resisted racism within his community and their
own personal experiences, ideas and commitments to that issue.
5.1.3.2. Interviews. Participants who were present on the 2 days
(per class) during which interviews were conducted (n = 67) participated in one individual interview with the lead researcher.
Interviews explored in more depth the general issues addressed
in students’ written surveys, allowing the researcher to further
understand students’ perspectives. For example, students were often asked to explain more explicitly general student claims – e.g.,
‘‘What makes a classroom activity ‘fun’ or ‘interesting’?’’ (a frequent
student claim). Interviews took place at the end of the semester.
They were audio-taped but not transcribed, although notes were
taken.
5.1.3.3. Classroom observations. Each class was observed by the lead
researcher once-per-week for the entire semester (for a total of
fourteen 90-min observations per class) and ?eld notes were compiled. Student responses to study activities, the nature of and
changes in engagement, and classroom discourse that illustrated
students’ perspectives were noted.
5.1.3.4. Student work. Copies of any student work that was a direct
product of study activities (e.g., journals, narratives, and related
written assignments) were collected and analyzed as well.
5.1.4. Analysis
Because this investigation was genuinely exploratory in nature,
data analysis did not begin with a predetermined coding scheme.
Through an iterative and constantly comparative process (Glaser
& Strauss, 1967), and construction of matrices for comparing
themes and student statements across data sources and participants (Miles & Huberman, 1994), central themes emerged. Specifically, student responses (written work, surveys, interviews) were
explored by the lead researcher for patterns regarding students’
perceptions of connections made between course content/activities and facets of their identities, as well as the impact of those
connections on their engagement. Notes from classroom observations supported these analyses with evidence of classroom context,
student discourse and engagement. Matrices were constructed that
offered a pro?le, across participants and data sources, of points of
convergence as well as diverse experiences with respect to emerging themes.

I Will Remember You
One topic of central interest to both experimental psychologists and the public is the
accuracy of the human memory. Barlett (1932) is usually credited with conducting the
first investigations of “false memories”, remembrances of events that never occurred. He
studied distortions of memory using a complex prose passage. Participants read a folktale
“The War of the Ghosts” and tried to recall it repeatedly. Results showed that
participants’ memories became more and more distorted over repeated attempts to recall.
These results suggest that everyday memory is not always as reliable and faithful
reproduction of the past, a static snapshot of events as they truly were. Instead, memory is
sometimes fallible, imperfect and reconstructive, and shaped by present circumstances.
While these conclusions about the fallibility of everyday memory seem justified, it is
conceivable that memory distortion occurs only under restricted conditions. It is perhaps
not surprising that participants found it difficult to retell a story, rich and complex in
meaning, in exactly the same way. Should not some variability be expected in storytelling? Indeed, it is quite possible that Barlett’s participants were themselves aware that
the story was changing with repeated tellings. His findings would surely be strengthened
if it were found that participants were totally unaware of the intrusions of irrelevant
material into their story. In addition, it would be of some interest to know whether
memory distortion occurs in other paradigms, for example, serial-list learning.
In serial-list learning, the experimenter reads aloud a list of words and the participants
memorize and then later try to recall each of the presented words. The words are usually
presented one-by-one in short lists comprised of 15 or so items. The recall test involved
the participants listing, in written form, the items they can remember from the studied
list. Often, a recognition test is included. In the recognition test, the experimenter
provides a list of words, which contains items from the studied lists and “lures”, words
never presented. Participants indicate their level of confidence about whether each item
had occurred. The task is often made more difficult by presenting multiple lists.
Remembering words not presented, or recognizing them, would constitute a “false
memory”.
Common sense would suggest that remembering or recognizing words not presented
should occur with low frequency. In addition, if participants did misremember words,
they should not express high confidence that a particular misremembered word was
actually in the list. In a recognition test, for example, they may agree that a non-studied
item was “probably” in the list, when it was not, but they should never state with
complete assurance that they had actually heard it. And, indeed, they should be incapable
of actually recollecting the moment at which the word was read by the experimenter,
since it was never actually presented.
Procedure
Two experimenters will read prepared lists of words aloud. After each list is read,
participants will immediately write down as many words as they can remember on for 1
minute each. When all of the lists are completed, participants will be given a recognition
test, which contains studied and non-studied items. For each item, the students will rate
whether it was a) surely new, b) probably new, c) probably old, or d) surely old. If the
item was rated as surely old, participants should indicate which of the two experimenters
they remembered uttered the word.

Questions
1. Answer the following questions.
a. Identify the independent variable and the levels of the independent
variable. (0.5 point)
b. Identify the dependent variable. (0.5 point)
c. Outline your theory of memory. (1 point)
d. What is the experimental hypothesis? (1 point)
2. What percentages of the studied and non-studied items were recognized as a)
surely old, b) probably old, c) probably new, and d) surely new? Break the nonstudied items into unrelated lures, weakly related lures, and critical lures. To
answer this question, present the data in a 4 x 4 APA style table with the levels of
independent variable listed in separate rows and the levels of the dependent
variable listed in separate columns. In the table, there should be four levels of
item status (studied, non-studied/unrelated lure, non-studied/weakly related lure,
and non-studied/critical lure) and four possible responses (surely old, probably
old, probably new, and surely new). (2 points)
3. Answer the following questions.
a. With regard to the critical lures, what percentage of the critical lures were
classified as “surely old”? (0.5 point)
b. What percentage of the participants said the critical lures were “surely
old”? (0.5 point)
c. What percentage of the participants that classified a critical lure as ‘surely
old’ indicated they remembered which experimenter had uttered the
critical lure (a word never actually presented)? (0.5 point)
4. Do the results support the experimental hypothesis? Be sure to provide an
explanation by referring to the results. (1.5 points)
5. People often say they vividly remember the details surrounding a particular event,
which attests to the fact that memory cannot be false. What do our data have to
say about this issue? (2 points)
The following four questions are designed to get you to explore the interaction between
item relatedness (i.e., critical/related versus unrelated) and item classification (i.e., old
versus new).
6. Your instructor had provided you with a SPSS data file that has combined
categories; that is, lures classified as “probably new” or “surely new” should be
considered “new” and lures classified as “probably old” or “surely old” should be
considered “old”. Use SPSS (instructions below) to obtain the mean number of
items in each of the four categories (critical lure/new, critical lure/old, unrelated
lure/new, unrelated lure/old).
7. Use the means obtained in the previous question to produce an APA style line
graph with the mean number of items recognized along the y-axis, the type of lure
(critical or unrelated) along the x-axis, and define the lines by the classification
category (new/old). You can do this using SPSS (instructions below). (2 points)
8. Use the line graph to describe whether there is an interaction (between type of
word and classification category). (1 point)
9. Use SPSS to determine whether the interaction between type of word and
classification category is statistically significant. Describe the findings using APA
style. Use the p-value to assess statistical significance. Recall, if p-value = a,
reject H0 (result is statistically significant.) (1.5 points)

lure = 2 (Unstudied-Critical)
classcat = 1 (Old)
3. Create a new variable, count, representing the total number of words in the surely
and probably columns. Note we’re creating ‘old’ and ‘new’ categories by
combining surely old and probably old into ‘old’ and surely new and probably
new into ‘new’. To create this variable select Compute… from the Transform
menu.
4. The Compute Variable dialog box will appear.
5. In the Target Variable: box type count.
6. In the Numeric Expression box build the equation. Select surely and click the
arrow between the two boxes. Click the ‘+’ button. Select probably and click the
arrow between the two boxes. In the Numeric Expression box you should have
surely + probably.
7. Click OK.
8. On the Variable View tab change the number of decimal places for the count
variable to 0 and enter Number of Words as the label for count.
9. Save the file as Lab7 to your home directory. To save the file, on the File menu,
select Save As, and then follow the path to your home directory by clicking on the

I Will Remember You
One topic of central interest to both experimental psychologists and the public is the
accuracy of the human memory. Barlett (1932) is usually credited with conducting the
first investigations of “false memories”, remembrances of events that never occurred. He
studied distortions of memory using a complex prose passage. Participants read a folktale
“The War of the Ghosts” and tried to recall it repeatedly. Results showed that
participants’ memories became more and more distorted over repeated attempts to recall.
These results suggest that everyday memory is not always as reliable and faithful
reproduction of the past, a static snapshot of events as they truly were. Instead, memory is
sometimes fallible, imperfect and reconstructive, and shaped by present circumstances.
While these conclusions about the fallibility of everyday memory seem justified, it is
conceivable that memory distortion occurs only under restricted conditions. It is perhaps
not surprising that participants found it difficult to retell a story, rich and complex in
meaning, in exactly the same way. Should not some variability be expected in storytelling? Indeed, it is quite possible that Barlett’s participants were themselves aware that
the story was changing with repeated tellings. His findings would surely be strengthened
if it were found that participants were totally unaware of the intrusions of irrelevant
material into their story. In addition, it would be of some interest to know whether
memory distortion occurs in other paradigms, for example, serial-list learning.
In serial-list learning, the experimenter reads aloud a list of words and the participants
memorize and then later try to recall each of the presented words. The words are usually
presented one-by-one in short lists comprised of 15 or so items. The recall test involved
the participants listing, in written form, the items they can remember from the studied
list. Often, a recognition test is included. In the recognition test, the experimenter
provides a list of words, which contains items from the studied lists and “lures”, words
never presented. Participants indicate their level of confidence about whether each item
had occurred. The task is often made more difficult by presenting multiple lists.
Remembering words not presented, or recognizing them, would constitute a “false
memory”.
Common sense would suggest that remembering or recognizing words not presented
should occur with low frequency. In addition, if participants did misremember words,
they should not express high confidence that a particular misremembered word was
actually in the list. In a recognition test, for example, they may agree that a non-studied
item was “probably” in the list, when it was not, but they should never state with
complete assurance that they had actually heard it. And, indeed, they should be incapable
of actually recollecting the moment at which the word was read by the experimenter,
since it was never actually presented.
Procedure
Two experimenters will read prepared lists of words aloud. After each list is read,
participants will immediately write down as many words as they can remember on for 1
minute each. When all of the lists are completed, participants will be given a recognition
test, which contains studied and non-studied items. For each item, the students will rate
whether it was a) surely new, b) probably new, c) probably old, or d) surely old. If the
item was rated as surely old, participants should indicate which of the two experimenters
they remembered uttered the word.

AU Journey of Vocabulary Mastery Tracking Progress & Growth Discussion “

Description

The assignment was as follows:

Conduct a baseline of the 10 vocab flashcards for Unit 1 (pretest of how many you know). 

Graph your baseline results and then test yourself every day on the same 10 flashcards and graph the results. Give yourself 1 minute’s time.

This was to be done each week with a new set of vocabulary each week. I am familiar with some of the vocabulary but not a lot. Therefore, I do not want to look as if I aced it. 

The data should be documented on an excel or google sheet document. I’ve provided some reference materials.The Safemed spreedsheet was my initial attempt at graphing.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRRYGhPY_GU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zs9gEWg4-U0

Module 1
1. Explanatory Fiction – A fictitious or hypothetical variable that other takes the form of another name
for the observed phenomenon it claims to explain and contributes nothing to a functional account
or understand of the phenomenon, such as “intelligence” or “cognitive awareness” as explanations
for why an organism pushes the level when the light is on and food is available but does not push
the level when the light is off and no food is available.
2. Parsimony – The practice of ruling out simple, logical explanations, experimentally or conceptually,
before considering more complex or abstract explanations.
3. Antecedent – An environmental condition or stimulus change existing or curing prior to a behavior of
interest.
4. Automaticity of Reinforcement – Refers to the fact that behavior is modified by its consequence
irrespective of the person’s awareness; a person does not have to recognize or verbalize the relation
between her behavior and a reinforcing consequence, or even know that a consequence has
occurred, for reinforcement to “work.” (Contrast with automatic reinforcement).
5. Discriminative Stimulus (SD) – A stimulus in the presence of which responses of some type have been
reinforced and in the absence of which the same type of responses have occurred and not been
reinforced; this history of differential reinforcement is the reason as sd increases the momentary
frequency of the behavior (See differential reinforcement, stimulus control, stimulus discrimination
training, and stimulus delta)
6. Positive Reinforcement – Occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by the presentation of a
stimulus that increases the future frequency of the behavior in similar conditions (Contrast to
negative reinforcement).
7. Punishment – Occurs when a stimulus change immediately follows a response and decreases the
future frequency of that type of behavior in similar conditions. (See negative punishment, positive
punishment)
8. Reinforcement – Occurs when a stimulus change immediately follows a response and increases the
future frequency of that type of behavior in similar conditions. (See negative reinforcement, positive
reinforcement)
9. Response – A single instance or occurrence of a specific class or type of behavior. Technical
definition: an “action of an organism effector. An effector is an organ at the end of an efferent nerve
fiber that is specialized for altering its environment mechanically, chemically, or in terms of other
energy changes”
10. Three -Term Contingency – The basic unit of analysis in the analysis of operant behavior;
encompasses the temporal and possible dependent relations among an antecedent stimulus,
behavior, and consequence.
Module 2
1. ABC Recording – A form of direct, continuous observation in which the observer records a
descriptive, temporal sequenced account of all behavior(s) of interest and the antecedent
conditions and consequence for those behaviors as those events occur in the client’s natural
environment (also called ABC recording).
2. Social Validity – Refers to the extent to which target behaviors are appropriate, intervention
procedures are acceptable, and important and significant changes in target and collateral behaviors
are produced.
3. Target Behavior – The response class selected for intervention; can be defined either functionally or
topographically.
4. Duration – A measure of the total extent of time in which a behavior occurs.
5. Frequency – A ration of count per observation time; often expressed as count per standard unit of
time (e.g., per minute, per hour, per day) and calculated by dividing the number of responses
recorded by the number of standard units of time in which observations were conducted; used
interchangeably with rate.
6. Momentary Time Sampling – A measurement method in which the presence or absence of behaviors
are recorded at precisely specified time intervals. (Contrast with interval recording.)
7. Partial-Interval Recording – A time sampling method for measuring behavior in which the
observation period is divided into a series of brief time intervals (typically from 5 to 10 seconds). The
observer records whether the target behavior occurred at any time during the interval. Partialinterval recording is not concerned with how many times the behavior occurred during the interval
or how long the behavior was present, just that it occurred at some point during the interval; tends
to overestimate the proportion of the observation period that the behavior actually occurred.
8. Response Latency – A measure of temporal locus; the elapsed time from the onset of a stimulus
(e.g., task direction, cue) to the initiation of a response.
9. Time Sampling – A measurement of the presence or absence of behavior within specific time
intervals. It is most useful with continuous and high rate behaviors. (See momentary time sample,
partial-interval recording, and whole-interval recording).
10. Whole Interval Recording – A time sampling method for measuring behavior in which the
observation period is divided into a series of brief time intervals (typically from 5 to 15 seconds). At
the end of each interval, the observer records whether the target behavior occurred throughout the
entire interval; tends to underestimate the proportion of the observation period that many
behaviors actually occurred.
Module 3
1. Reliability – Refers to the consistency of measurement, specifically, the extent to which repeated
measurement of the same event yields the same values.
2. Validity – The extent to which data obtained from measurement are directly relevant to the target
behavior of interest and to the reason(s) for measuring it.
3. Changing Criterion Design – An experimental design in which an initial baseline phase is followed by
a series of treatment phases consisting of successive and gradually changing criteria for
reinforcement or punishment. Experimental control is evidenced by the extent the level of
responding changes to conform to each new criterion.
4. Multiple Baseline Design – An experimental design that begins with the concurrent measurement of
two or more behaviors in a baseline condition, followed by the application of the treatment variable
to one of the behaviors while baseline conditions remain in effect for the other behavior(s). After
maximum charge has been noted in the first behavior, the treatment variable is applied in
sequential fashion to each of the other behaviors in the design. Experimental control is
demonstrated if each behavior shows similar changes when, and only when, the treatment variable
is introduced.
5. A-B-A Design – A three-phase experimental design consisting of an initial baseline phase (a) until
steady state responding (or countertherapeutic trend) is obtained, an intervention phase in which
the treatment condition (B) is implemented until the behavior has changed and steady state
responding is obtained, and a return to baseline conditions (A) by withdrawing the independent
variables to see whether responding “reverses” to levels observed in the initial baseline phase. (See
A-B-A-B design, reversal design, withdrawal design.)
6. Alternating Treatment Design – An experimental design in which two or more conditions (one of
which may be a no-treatment control condition) are presented in rapidly alternating succession
(e.g., on alternating sessions or days) independent of the level of responding ; differences in
responding between or among conditions are attributed to the effects of the conditions (also called
concurrent schedule design, multielement design, multiple schedule design.)
7. Baseline – A condition of an experiment in which the independent variable is not present; data
obtained during baseline are the basis for determining the effects of the independent variable; a
control condition that does not necessarily mean the absence of instruction or treatment, only the
absence of a specific independent variable of experimental interest.
8. Dependent Variable – The variable in an experiment measured to determine if it changes as a result
of manipulations of the independent variable; in applied behavior analysis, it represents some
measure of a socially significant behavior. (See target behavior; compare with independent
variable.)
9. Extraneous Variable – Any aspect of the experimental setting (e.g., lighting, temperature) that must
be held constant to prevent unplanned environmental variation.
10. Independent Variable – The variable that is systematically manipulated by the researcher in an
experiment to see whether changes in the independent variable produce reliable changes in the
dependent variable. In applied behavior analysis, it is usually an environmental event or condition
antecedent or consequent to the dependent variable. Sometimes called the intervention or
treatment variable. (Compare with dependent variable).
Module 4
1. Continuous Reinforcement (CRF) – A schedule of reinforcement that provides reinforcement for each
occurrence of the target behavior.
2. Fixed Interval (FI) – A schedule of reinforcement in which reinforcement is delivered for the first
response emitted following the passage of a fixed duration of time since the last response was
reinforced (e.g., on a FI 3-minute schedule, the first response following the passage of 3 minutes is
reinforced).
3. Fixed Ration (FR) – A schedule of reinforcement requiring a fixed number of responses for
reinforcement (e.g., an FR 4 schedule reinforcement follows every fourth response).
4. Schedule of Reinforcement – A rule specifying the environmental arrangements and response
requirements for reinforcement; a description of a contingency of reinforcement.
5. Variable Interval (VI) – A schedule of reinforcement that provides reinforcement for the first correct
response following the elapse of variable durations of time occurring in a random or unpredictable
order. The mean duration of the intervals is used to describe the schedule (e.g., on a VI 10-minute
schedule, reinforcement is delivered for the first response following an average of 10 minutes since
the last reinforced response, but the time that elapses following the last reinforced response might
range from 30 seconds or less to 25 minutes or more).
6. Variable Ration (VR) – A schedule of reinforcement requiring a varying number of responses for
reinforcement. The number of responses required varies around a random number; the mean
number of responses required for reinforcement is used to describe the schedule (e.g., on a VR 10
schedule an average of 10 responses must be emitted for reinforcement, but the number of
responses required following the last reinforced response might range from 1 to 30 or more).
7. Negative Reinforcement – Occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by the removal of a
stimulus that increases the future frequency of the behavior in similar conditions (contrast to
positive reinforcement.)
8. Automatic Reinforcement – Reinforcement that occurs independent of the social mediation of
others (e.g., scratching an insect bite relieves the itch.)
9. Positive Reinforcement – Occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by the presentation of a
stimulus that increases the future frequency of the behavior in similar conditions (contrast to
negative reinforcement.)
10. Stimulus Preference Assessment – A variety of procedures used to determine the stimuli that a
person prefers, the relative preference values (high versus low) of those stimuli, the conditions
under which those preference values remain in effect, and their presumed value as reinforcers.
Module 5
1. Contingent Observation – A procedure for implementing timeout in which the person is repositioned
within an existing setting such that observation of ongoing activities remains, but access to
reinforcement is lost.
2. Planned Ignoring – A procedure for implementing time-out in which social reinforcers – usually
attention, physical contact, and verbal interaction – are withheld for a brief period contingent on the
occurrence of the target behavior.
3. Response Cost – The contingent loss of reinforcers (e.g., a fine), producing a decrease of the
frequency of behavior; a form of negative punishment.
4. Time-Out From Positive Reinforcement – The contingent withdrawl of the opportunity to earn
positive reinforcement or the loss of access to positive reinforcement or the loss of access to
positive reinforcers for a specified time; a form of negative punishment (also called time-out).
5. Behavioral Contrast – The phenomenon in which a change in one component of a multiple schedule
that increases or decreases the rate of responding on that component is accompanied by change in
the response rate in the opposite direction on the other, unaltered component of the schedule.
6. Negative Punishment – A response behavior is followed immediately by the removal of a stimulus (or
a decrease in the intensity of the stimulus) that decreases the future frequency of similar responses
under similar conditions; sometimes called Type II punishment. (Contrast with positive punishment).
7. Overcorrection – A behavior change tactic based on positive punishment in which, contingent on the
problem behavior, the learner is required to engage in effortful behavior directly or logically related
to fixing the damage caused by the behavior. Forms of overcorrection are restitutional
overcorrection and positive practice overcorrection. (See positive practice overcorrection,
restitutional overcorrection.)
8. Positive Punishment – A behavior is followed immediately by the presentation of a stimulus that
decreases the future frequency of the behavior; sometimes called Type I punishment. (Contrast with
negative punishment)
9. Response Blocking – A procedure in which the therapist physically intervenes as soon as the learner
begins to emit a problem behavior to prevent completion of the targeted behavior.
10. Unconditioned Punisher – A stimulus change that decreases the frequency of any behavior that
immediately precedes it irrespective of the organisms learning history with the stimulus.
Unconditioned punishers are products of the evolutionary development of the species (phylogeny),
meaning that all members of a species are more or less susceptible to punishment by the
presentation of unconditioned punishers (also called primary or unlearned punishers). (Compare
with conditioned punishers)
Module 6
1. Antecedent Stimulus Class – A set of stimuli that share a common relationship. All stimuli in an
antecedent stimulus class evoke the same operant behavior, or elicit the same respondent behavior.
(See arbitrary stimulus class, feature stimulus class.)
2. Discriminative Stimulus (SD) – A stimulus in the presence of which responses of some type have been
reinforced and in the absence of which the same type of responses have occurred and not been
reinforced; this history of differential reinforcement is the reason an Sd increases the momentary
frequency of the behavior. (See differential reinforcement, stimulus control, stimulus discrimination
training, and stimulus delta (S delta).
3. Feature Stimulus Class – Stimuli that share common physical forms or structures (e.g., made from
wood, four legs, round blue) or common relative relationships (e.g., bigger than, hotter than, higher
than, next to). (Compare to arbitrary stimulus class.)
4. Stimulus Control – A situation in which the frequency, latency, duration, or amplitude of a behavior
is altered by the presence of absence of an antecedent stimulus. (See discrimination, discriminative
stimulus)
5. Stimulus Delta (S delta) – A stimulus in the presence of which a given behavior as not produced
reinforcement in the past. (Contrast with discriminative stimulus (SD).)
6. Stimulus Discrimination Training – The conventional procedure requires one behavior and two
antecedent stimulus conditions. Responses are reinforced in the presence of one stimulus condition,
the SD, but not in the presence of the other stimulus, the SD.
7. Abolishing Operation (AO) – A motivating operation that decreases the reinforcing effectiveness of a
stimulus, object, or event. For example, the reinforcing effectiveness of food is abolished as a result
of food ingestion.
8. Establishing Operation (EO) – A motivating operation that establishes (increases) the effectiveness of
some stimulus, object, or event as a reinforce. For example, food deprivation establishes food as an
effective reinforcer.
9. Motivating Operation (MO) – An environmental variable that (a) alters (increases or decreases) the
reinforcing or punishing effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event; and (b) alters (increases or
decreases)the current frequency of all behavior that has been reinforced or punished by that
stimulus, object or event. (See abative effect, abolishing operation (AO), behavior-altering effect,
evocative effect, establishing operation (EO), value altering effect.)
10. Value-Altering Effect – An alteration in the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus, object, or event as
a result of a motivating operation. For example, the reinforcing effectiveness of food is altered as a
result of food deprivation and food ingestion.
Module 7
1. Backward Chaining – A teaching procedure in which a trainer completes all but the last behavior in a
chain, which is preformed by the learner, who then receives reinforcement for completing the chain.
When the learner shows competence in performing the final step in the chain, the trainer performs
all but the last two behaviors in the chain, the learner emits the final two steps to complete the
chain, and reinforcement is delivered. This sequence is continued until the learner completes the
entire chain independently.
2. Behavior Chain – A sequence of responses in which each response produces a stimulus change that
functions as conditioned reinforcement for that response and as a discriminative stimulus for the
next response in the chain; reinforcement for the last response in a chain maintains the reinforcing
effectiveness of the stimulus changes produced by all previous responses in the chain.
3. Forward Chaining – A method for teaching behavior chains that begins with the learner being
prompted and taught to perform the first behavior in the task analysis; the trainer completes the
remaining steps in the chain. When the learner shows competence in preforming the first step in the
chain, he is then taught to perform the first two behaviors in the chain, with the training completing
the chain. This process is continued until the learner completes the entire chain independently.
4. Task Analysis – The process of breaking a complex skill or series of behaviors into smaller, teachable
units; also refers to the results of this process.
5. Total-Task Chaining – A variation of forward chaining in which the learner receives training on each
behavior in the chain during each session.
6. Differential Reinforcement – Reinforcing only those responses within a response class that meet a
specific criterion along some dimension(s) (i.e., frequency , topography, duration, latency, or
magnitude) and placing all other responses in the class on extinction. See differential reinforcement
of alternative behavior, differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior, differential
reinforcement of other behavior, discrimination training, shaping.)
7. Response Differentiation – A behavior change produced by differential reinforcement: reinforced
members of the current response class occur with greater frequency, and unreinforced members
occur less frequently (undergo extinction); the overall result is the emergence of a new response
class.
8. Shaping – Using differential reinforcement to produce a series of gradual changing response classes;
each response class is a successive approximation toward a terminal behavior. Members of an
existing response class are selected for differential reinforcement because they more closely
resemble the terminal behavior. (See differential reinforcement, response class, response
differentiation, and successive approximations)
9. Imitation – A behavior controlled by any physical movement that serves as a novel model excluding
vocal-verbal behavior, has formal similarity with the model, and immediately follows the occurrence
of the model (e.g., within seconds of the model presentation). An imitative behavior is a new
behavior emitted following a novel antecedent event (i.e., the model). (See formal similarity;
contrast with echoic.)
10. Fading – decreasing the level of assistance needed to complete a task or activity
Module 8
1. Antecedent Intervention – A behavior change strategy that manipulates contingency-independent
antecedent stimuli (motivating operations). See noncontingency reinforcement, high-probability
request sequence, and functional communication training. Contrast with antecedent control, a
behavior change intervention that manipulates contingency-dependent consequence events to
affect stimulus control.)
2. Behavioral Momentum – A methaphor to describe a rate or responding and its resistance to change
following an alteration in reinforcement conditions. The momentum methaphor has also been used
to describe the effects produced by the high-probability (high-p) request sequence.
3. Functional Communication Training (FCT) – An antecedent intervention in which as appropriate
communicative behavior is taught as a replacement behavior for problem behavior usually evoked
by an establishing operation (EO); involves differential reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA)
4. High-Probability (high-p) Request Sequence – An antecedent intervention in which two to five easy
tasks with a known history of learner compliance (the high-p requests) are presented in quick
succession immediately before requesting the target task, the low-q request. Also called
interspersed request, pretask request, or behavioral momentum.
5. Noncontingent Reinforcement (NCR) – A procedure in which stimuli with known reinforcing
properties are presented on fixed-time (FT) or variable-time (VT) schedules completely independent
of behavior often used as an antecedent intervention to reduce problem behavior. (See fixed-time
schedule (FT), variable-time schedule (VT).)
6. Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behavior (DRA) – A procedure for decreasing problem in
which reinforcement is delivered for a behavior that serves as a desirable alternative to the behavior
targeted for reduction and withheld following instances of the problem behavior (e.g., reinforcing
completion of academic workshop items when the behavior targeted for reduction is talk-outs).
7. Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible Behavior (DRI) – A procedure for decreasing problem
behavior in which reinforcement is delivered for a behavior that is a topographically incompatible
with the behavior targeted for reduction and withheld following instances of the problem behavior
(e.g., sitting the seat is incompatible with walking around the room).
8. Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior (DRO) – A procedure for decreasing problem behavior
in which reinforcement is contingent on the absence of the problem behavior during or at specific
times (i.e., momentary DRO); sometimes called differential reinforcement of zero rates of
responding or omission training). (See fixed-interval DRO, fixed-momentary DRO, variable-interval
DRO, and variable-momentary DRO.)
9. Extinction – A procedure in which reinforcement of a previously reinforce behavior is discontinued;
as a result, occurrences of that behavior decrease in the future.
10. Extinction Burst – An immediate increase in the frequency of the response after the removal of the
positive, negative, or automatic reinforcement.
Module 9
1. Descriptive Functional Behavior Assessment – Direct observation of problem behavior and the
antecedent and consequent events under naturally occurring conditions.
2. Functional Analysis – An analysis of the purposes (functions) of problem behavior, wherein
antecedents and consequences representing those in the person’s natural routines are arranged
within an experimental design so that their separate effects on problem behavior can be observed
and measured; typically consists of four conditions: three test conditions – contingent attention,
contingent escape, and alone – and a control condition in which problem behaviors is expected to be
low because reinforcement is freely available and no demands are placed on the person.
3. Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) – A systematic method of assessment for obtaining
information about the purposes (functions) a problem behavior serves for a person; results are used
to guide the design of an investigation for decreasing the problem behavior and increasing
appropriate behavior.
4. Functionally Equivalent – Serving the same function or purpose; different topographies of behavior
are functionally equivalent if they produce the same consequences.
5. Indirect Functional Assessment – Structured interviews, checklists, rating scales, or questionnaires
used to obtain information from people who are familiar with the person exhibiting the problem
behavior (e.g., teachers, parents, caregivers, and/or the individual him-or herself); used to identify
conditions or events in the natural environment that correlate with the problem behavior.
Module 10
1. Contrived Mediating Stimulus – Any stimulus made functional for the target behavior in the
instructional setting that later prompts or aids the learner in performing the target behavior in a
generalization setting.
2. Multiple Exemplar Training – Instruction that provided the learner with practice with a variety of
stimulus conditions, response variations, and response topographies to ensure the acquisition of
desired stimulus controls response forms; used to promote both setting/situation generalization and
response generalization. (See teaching sufficient examples.)
3. Programming Common Stimuli – A tactic for promoting setting/situation generalization by making
the instructional setting similar to the generalization setting; the two-step process involves (1)
identifying salient stimuli that characterize the generalization setting and (2) incorporating those
stimuli into the instructional setting.
4. Response Generalization – The extent to which a learner emits untrained responses that are
functionally equivalent to the trained target behavior. (Compare to response maintenance and
setting/situation generalization.)
5. Response Maintenance – The extent to which a learner continues to perform the target behavior
after a portion or all of the intervention responsible for the behavior’s initial appearance in the
learner’s repertoire has been terminated. Often called maintenance, durability, behavioral
persistence, and (incorrectly) resistance to extinction. (Compare to response generalization and
setting/situation generalization.)
6. Setting/Situation Generalization – The extent to which a learner emits the target behavior in a
setting or stimulus situation that is different from the instructional sett

Description

Question 1

(Systematic vs. Non-Systematic).

For this Pause-Problem, I want you to think of a study idea that you can approach first from a non-systematic perspective and second from a systematic perspective. My hint is to start with the non-systematic research first!

Question 2

(Your Lab Study). For this Pause-Problem, look at your lab hypothesis for study one. Does it meet / not meet these? If not, tell me how to fix it?

  • A. Is the research question clearly stated?
  • B. Is the research question researchable and testable?
  • C. Are concepts in the question operationally defined?
  • D. Does the question note the unit of analysis?
  • E. Does it specify the expected relationship?
  • F. Does it focus on outcomes (the DV)?
  • G. Does it involve contrasts that are made specific?
  • H. Does it specify conditions regarding the relationship?
  • I. Does it stem from an idea or theory?

Question 3

For this Pause-Problem, I want you to come up with a brief study idea unrelated to the one you are doing in your lab. First, give me a directional hypothesis for this study. Second, give me a non-directional hypothesis

Question 4

(Pop Quiz). For your last Pause-Problem, I want YOU to write a multiple choice pop-quiz question based on the content of this chapter. I might use your question on a future pop quiz or actual course exam (though not this semester), so make it good! Make sure to include your correct answer and up to five possible answers.

Notes: (Because I include this “Pop Quiz” Pause-problem for all chapters, there are a few notes about it applicable to both this pause-problem and all future Pause-Problems)

1). You need to highlight the correct answer in order to get points for this question (underline it, italicize it, make it all CAPS, put a few asterisks by it, etc. The choice is yours, but highlight it someway and make sure it is the ONLY correct answer. If more than one answer options are correct, you cannot get credit for it.

2). Your pop quiz pause-problem must be based on content relevant to the chapter covered that week.

3). Your pop quiz pause-problem must be multiple choice. Essay questions are not acceptable.

Chapter D (CPP)
Part One
The Research Idea
The Research Idea
1
? Research ideas can come from many sources
A gap in the literature
Questions that arise from newspapers, magazines, and TV
Listening to a class lecture
Seeing something odd happen in your environment
? In this section, we will focus on three research idea sources …
1). Nonsystematic sources of ideas
2). Systematic sources of ideas
3). Research ideas that evolve from theories
The Research Idea
2
? 1). Nonsystematic ideas (often informal) come from sources that
present themselves to us in unpredictable manners; often there is
no rigorous attempt to locate such researchable ideas
Such ideas might come from …
– Inspiration: A blind flash of genius! This is how Newton hit
upon the idea of gravity (after an apple hit upon his head!)
– Serendipity: We might be looking at one situation but find
something unexpected!
– Everyday occurrences and observations
The Research Idea
3
? 1). Nonsystematic ideas and casual observations
As an example of “everyday occurrences and observations”,
think about …
– the Zeigarnik Effect
The Research Idea
4
? 1). Nonsystematic ideas and casual observations
Russian psychologist Bluma Zeigarnik once noticed an odd
phenomenon. While at a restaurant in a large party, her waiters
seemed to have a phenomenal memory for drink orders, but
only so long as the order was in the process of being served
– When the bill was presented, Zeigarnik asked the waiter for
a refill, but found he had “forgotten” what she was drinking
– She developed the Zeigarnik Effect hypothesis: People
remember uncompleted or interrupted tasks better than
completed ones.
The Research Idea
5
? 1). Nonsystematic ideas and casual observations
The Zeigernik Effect
– Zeigarnik theorized that an incomplete task or unfinished
business creates a “psychic tension” within us. This tension
acts as a motivator to drive us toward completing the task or
finishing the business.
– In Gestalt terms, we are motivated to seek “closure”
The Research Idea
6
? 1). Nonsystematic ideas and casual observations
As you can see, casual observations (like Zeigerniks’) may …
– develop from observations in restaurants
– develop from observations in class
– develop through reading articles / books
– develop from observations of animals or people
?Think about this last one involving observations and
animal research …
The Research Idea
7
? 1). Nonsystematic ideas and casual observations
Unexpected observations made during a project’s course can
spur research, even in animal research
– Joseph Brady and Monkey Ulcers
?Monkeys were dying in Joseph Brady’s lab. His friend,
RW Porter, asked if he could do some postmortems on
the dead monkeys to try to determine cause of death
Porter discovered monkey ulcers, & serendipitously
linked them to the stress that comes with leadership
• Subordinate monkeys did not have such ulcers!
The Research Idea
8
? 1). Nonsystematic ideas and casual observations
Casual observations may ignite a research idea, leading to
more systematic theorizing
– The Zeigarnik Effect is interesting, but what if …
?It was a waitress waiting on cute/ugly guys?
?A waiter waiting on cute/ugly girls?
?Would these conditions change the memories of the
waiters or waitresses?
The Research Idea
9
? 2). Systematic ideas (formal) come from thoroughly examined,
more carefully thought-out sources
Imagine a study by Milgram that focused on social influences
– He wanted to see how others reacted when people suddenly
started looking up in Manhattan (normative social influence)
– That is, would bystanders also look up?
?If so, does group size matter
The Research Idea
10
? 2). Systematic ideas (formal) come from thoroughly examined,
more carefully thought-out sources
Migram and “looking up”
– Milgram and colleagues had 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, or 15 people look
up in Manhattan. Then he observed how many passersby
also looked up at the top of tall skyscrapers!
When 1 confederate looked up, 10% of those passing by looked up
2 = 20%
3 = 60%
5 = 80%
10 = 82%
15 = 83%
– Size of the influencing group thus matters! 3 to 5 members
increases conformity, beyond 5 has a negligible influence
The Research Idea
11
? 2). Systematic ideas (formal) come from thoroughly examined,
more carefully thought-out sources
You can also find ideas by looking at internet research studies
– If you so desired, you could find tons of internet studies on:
?Attitudes / Emotions & Attitudes About Punishment
?Social Groups and Self-Perception
?Racial Identity Development of Biracial Individuals
?Regrets Regarding Romantic Relationships

1
? Which of the following is derived from systematic experience?
A). A researcher notices that some children will not leave their
mother’s side while other children appear to happily wander off
to explore. The researcher thinks differences are explainable by
looking at secure attachment styles between mother and child
B). After reading an article on subliminal priming, a research
thinks she can get participants to endorse negative stereotypes
about women if participants first receive a negative subliminal
prime about women

Pause Problem #1
? Pause-Problem #1 (Systematic vs. Non-Systematic)
For this Pause-Problem, I want you to think of a study idea that
you can approach first from a non-systematic perspective and
second from a systematic perspective.
– My hint is to start with the non-systematic research first!
#1
The Research Idea
12
? 3). Research ideas may also evolve from theories
This begs the questions …
– What are theories?
– How are theories developed?
– How do you go about evaluating theories?
The Research Idea
13
? 3). Research ideas may also evolve from theories
Theories are formal statements about the relations among the
independent variables (IV’s) and dependent variables (DV’s) in
a given area of research
– In this class, we will deal primarily with scientific theories
?Scientific theories describe scientific relationships by
indicating how variables interact within the system to
which the theory applies
?Sometimes scientific relationships cannot be observed
directly, but merely inferred through the theory
The Research Idea
14
? 3). Research ideas may also evolve from theories
A. Scientific theories help the researcher organize and interpret
research results
– Theories can provide a framework for both organizing and
interpreting research results
– Research results can also be interpreted in light of a theory
B. Scientific theories help the researcher generate research by
providing ideas for new research or providing a framework for
asking and answering questions
Think about the following …
Let’s do a quick study!

The Research Idea
15
? 3). Research ideas may evolve from theories
You should know about the theory of learned helplessness by
now, since it is pretty famous in psychology
– This theory originated in animal learning research (dogs),
but it was actually a serendipitous experimental finding
The Research Idea
16
? 3). Ideas from theories – learned helplessness
Martin Seligman wanted to see if he could transfer a classically
conditioned response to an operant escape situation
– Recall the idea of classical conditioning from your intro to
psych class:
?Responses are learned by pairing neutral stimuli with a
stimuli that arouses you. Eventually, the neutral stimulus
arouses you all on its own absent the original stimuli
?In other words …
The Research Idea
17
? 3). Ideas from theories – learned helplessness
Martin Seligman wanted to see if he could transfer a classically
conditioned response to an operant escape situation
– Also recall the idea of instrumental / operant conditioning
?Responses are learned to bring about positive outcomes
(rewards) or to avoid negative outcomes (punishment)
The Research Idea
18
? 3). Ideas from theories – learned helplessness
Seligman predicted that a shock to a dog in compartment A
would lead it to run around and jump into compartment B.
A
B
But this did not happen if the
dogs were first prevented
from jumping, but later given
the opportunity to jump!
The Research Idea
19
? In Seligman’s words, the dogs would often
“lay down and quietly whined. After one minute of this we turned
the shock off; the dog had failed to cross the barrier and had not
escaped from the shock. On the next trial, the dog did it again; at
first, it struggled a bit, and then, after a few seconds, it seemed to
give up and to accept the shock passively. On the succeeding
trials, the dog failed to escape”
Seligman, 1975
The Research Idea
20
? 3). Ideas from theories – learned helplessness
Seligman coined the term “learned helplessness”, or an
unwillingness to avoid trauma after experiencing repeated
failures to control unavoidable negative events
– This led to the development of a theory of psychological
depression based on the idea that people may experience
depression if they repeatedly experienced unavoidable and
uncontrollable aversive events
The Research Idea
21
? 3). Ideas from theories – So what now?
Remember that a theory …
– A. summarizes and organizes knowledge
– B. introduces possible explanations
– C. provides a basis for making judgments
The Research Idea
22
? 3). Ideas from theories – So what now?
Seligman accumulated more information about his dogs, finetuning the theory of learned helplessness
– He found that when animals (dogs or humans!) acquire info
about the relationship between a response (trying to avoid a
shock) and the actual outcome (getting shocked) and find
that the outcome and response are independent, then they
may feel that there is no way to avoid the trauma regardless
of their response. In the end, they don’t even try
The Research Idea
23
? 3). Ideas from theories – So what now?
Seligman accumulated more information about his dogs, finetuning the theory of learned helplessness
– The nice thing about using theories as an idea source is that
they provide a framework you can use to make more direct,
specific predictions in research.
?That is, theories guide hypotheses …
The Research Idea
24
? 3). Ideas from theories – So what now?
Hypotheses attempt to organize data and relationships among
specific variables within a portion of large, more comprehensive
theories
– That is, hypotheses are tentative statements (that still need
empirical testing) about the relationships between variables
– Unlike theories, hypotheses are narrow and focused, often
using “If A, Then B” oriented statements. However, they
often logically follow from a theory. For example, …
The Research Idea
25
? 3). Ideas from theories – So what now?
The theory of learned helplessness notes that …
– People become depressed when they come to believe that
they are helpless to control reinforcements in their lives
A learned helplessness hypothesis is much more specific …
– When you give someone anagram puzzles that they cannot
solve (because they are unsolvable!), the participant will not
even try to solve a puzzle that looks similarly impossible but
is actually solvable
?Think about our “rearranging letters” puzzle!
The Research Idea
26
? 3). Ideas from theories – Here’s another example …
Terror Management Theory:
– Theorizes that people are scared when aware of their own
death, so they embrace things that make them feel safe and
secure (e.g. things that support their “cultural worldview”)
A Terror Management Hypothesis:
– When thinking about death (compared to a neutral thought),
participants who hold positive beliefs about America will
support those beliefs to an even great extent. They will also
vilify and hate those who don’t support America

? Which of the following best represents a hypothesis involving
emotion? The first three are actual emotion theories!
A). A person experiences physiological arousal first, and then
interpret those feelings as arousal (Schachter-Singer Theory)
B). A person can experience arousal and interpret those
feelings as arousal at the same time (Cannon-Bard Theory)
C). An event causes arousal first, and then the person has to
label this arousal (James Lange Theory)
D). Exposing people to torture videos (compared to videos
about nature) will increase their feelings of arousal (as
measured by heart rates and breathing rates) – Very specific!
Part Two
Developing A Research Question
Developing a Research Question
1
? In this section, we will try to understand the (deceptively) easy way
to ask research questions. We will cover …
1). Research topics vs. research questions
2). Finding the right research question
3). Asking the right research question
Developing a Research Question
2
? 1). Research topics versus empirical research questions
I want to emphasize the difference between a research topic
and a research question
– A research topic is a general phenomenon of interest, such
as false confessions, learning disabilities, memory, etc.
?Research topics can come from personal experience, an
investigator’s theory, or ideas brought up through other’s
research ideas. But it is a topic, and thus very general
– An empirical research question, on the other hand, specifies
what we want to study more specifically, suggesting the key
concepts we need to know (it is, in essence, a hypothesis)

? 1). Research topics versus empirical research questions
I want to emphasize the difference between a research topic
and a research question
– In this class, I gave you a topic and a research question for
your study, but pay close attention to how to develop such
questions on your own!
– So let’s try to figure out what a research question entails
Developing a Research Question

? 2). Finding the right research question
A research question is an easy concept to understand in that it
is simply a statement about expected outcomes (though that
term “question” is a bit of a misnomer, as a research question
does NOT end in a question mark)
But at the same time, it is very hard, since creating the right
question and forming that question into a researchable focus
requires time and experience
– A research question requires clarity, which relies on having
background knowledge about the topic you want to study
Developing a Research Question

? 2). Finding the right research question
Research questions often come from an area interesting to the
researcher.
– For example, my own research interest is in the field of legal
psychology. I may want to know “Whether juror verdicts are
more influenced by pro-prosecution pretrial publicity or prodefense pretrial publicity” (that is, is there any evidence
jurors hear about before the trial that may influence them)
– This research interest, unfortunately, does not quite get us
to a research question
– Let’s look at a more specific pretrial-publicity hypothesis:

? 2). Finding the right research question
A more specific pretrial-publicity hypothesis:
– “Jurors who are exposed to pretrial publicity that favors the
prosecution will be more likely to convict the defendant than
jurors who are exposed to pretrial publicity that favors the
defendant.”
?Here, jury verdicts are the outcome I am interested in, or
the dependent variable (the DV)
?Pro-prosecution vs. pro-defense pretrial publicity is the
manipulated variable, the independent variable (the IV)

? 2). Finding the right research question
A more specific pretrial-publicity hypothesis:
– Break this down in terms of an “If A, Then B” format
?“IF jurors are exposed to pro-prosecution pretrial publicity,
THEN they will favor of the prosecution”
?“IF jurors are exposed to pro-defense pretrial publicity,
THEN they will favor of the defense”
– Now, put it together: “IF jurors are exposed to pro-prosecution
pretrial publicity, THEN they will favor of the prosecution more
than IF they are exposed to pro-defense pretrial publicity”

? 3). Asking the right research question
There are several components to asking the right research
question. Before we discuss them, think about the question
below, and try to figure out if it is a good or bad question
– “If jurors hear Inadmissible Evidence (I-E) that is relevant to
the defendant’s guilt, they will find the defendant more guilty
when the inadmissible evidence is obtained in violation of
the defendant’s civil rights OR ruled admissible than if it is
based on a poor audio-quality wiretap.”
– I will refer to this as the “I-E Hypothesis” in future slides

? 3). Asking the right research question – Elements to consider …
A. Is the research question clearly stated?
B. Is the research question researchable and testable?
C. Are concepts in the question operationally defined?
D. Does the question note the unit of analysis?
E. Does it specify the expected relationship?
F. Does it focus on outcomes (the DV)?
G. Does it involve contrasts that are made specific?
H. Does it specify conditions regarding the relationship?
I. Does it stem from an idea or theory?
Developing a Research Question

? 3). Asking the right research question
A. Is the research question clearly stated?
– Bad: “I wonder how inadmissible evidence influences jurors”
– Better: “Does the type of inadmissible evidence (bad quality
vs. obtained by violating civil rights) influence juror verdicts”
?Of course, you have to define
what you mean by “influence”
– Recall the I-E hypothesis: It is
stated much more clearly than
both of the hypotheses above
Developing a Research Question
11
? 3). Asking the right research question
B. A good research question is researchable and testable
– That is, it must be an answerable question
?“Is the death penalty fair?” is a bad question
It is not answerable
?“Why do death penalty proponents think the death
penalty is fair?” is much better,
because it can lead to testable
studies. But there is still room for
improvement, right!
Developing a Research Question

? 3). Asking the right research question
C. Good research questions point to important concepts that
can be clearly defined (or operationally defined)
– Let’s say you think jurors with low self-esteem will cave into
the majority opinion easier than jurors with high self-esteem
?Now, define self-esteem! Hard, right!
?Concepts must be measurable, or you
must define them so other researchers
know what you are talking about
?Even the I-E hypothesis needs to
define “bad audio quality”
Developing a Research Question
13
? 3). Asking the right research question
D. Good research questions will define the units of analysis (or
cases) to which it applies
– Can be based on individuals (jurors) or groups (a whole jury)
– Three things are useful when determining units of analysis:
?What kind of case: Mothers, defendants, judges, juries?
?Where are the cases: Kendall, Miami, Florida, Southern
District, the entire USA?
?When are these cases: Now, the future, the past?
– The I-E hypothesis could be more specific here as well
Developing a Research Question
14
? 3). Asking the right research question
E. Good research questions specify expected relationships
– Often an expected relationship focuses on how one thing
influences another
?Example: How an officer handles a domestic violence
call may impact whether the offender does it again
Arresting an abuser may lead
to fewer future incidents than
giving him a simple warning
Arrests decrease future behavior
(see the relationship!)

? 3). Asking the right research question
F. Good research question focuses on outcomes (DV’s) or, at
minimum, indicates the outcome of interest
– Bad: “What influence does poor self-concept have?”
?“Have” on what? This is a bad question because there is
no limit to the range of potential outcomes, and thus no
end to the research. After all, it could lead to depression
or helping behavior!
Developing a Research Question
16
? 3). Asking the right research question
G. Good research questions involve explicit contrasts
– They might contrast female jurors versus male jurors; proprosecution jurors versus pro-defense; eyewitnesses with
good views versus those with bad views; etc.
– Our I-E Hypothesis does a good job of this
?Those given admissible evidence or evidence ruled
inadmissible due to civil right
violations will convict more than
those given inadmissible evidence
that is poor in audio quality.

? 3). Asking the right research question
H. Research questions should specify the conditions under
which the relationships are expected to emerge
– For example, arresting spousal abusers will only decrease
future acts of violence if the abuser is rich, lives in a family
based neighborhood, and is taken into custody in view of
friends or neighbors

I. Finally, good research questions are often those that stem
from some idea or theory you have about important things
– May come from you or others.
– A great way to start is by looking at the work of others

19
? 3). Asking the right research question – To sum up
Good research questions are clearly stated, researchable
questions involving important concepts that are related to a
theory
Good research questions apply a case or unit of analysis,
involves comparison and contrasts, focuses on outcomes, and
may also specify independent variables and conditions that
govern expected relationships between concepts
The I-E hypothesis comes close, but it needs clarification in
some areas. For now, let’s look at some bad questions
Developing a Research Question

? 3). Asking the right research question – Why is this question poor?
“Eyewitnesses at crime scenes”
– Poor because: this is a topic, not a research question
“I think jurors are basically honest decision-makers”
– Poor because: this isn’t a question, merely an opinion
“How do ghosts eat?”
– Poor because: it isn’t researchable, it is ambiguous
“What is the impact of city size?”
– Poor because: asks only about an IV and doesn’t limit DVs
Developing a Research Question
22
? 3). Asking the right research question – Why is this question poor?
“Do eyewitnesses incorporate new info into their memories”
– Poor because: it’s a good question, but has been answered
already – expand on it more
“Why do people commit crimes?”
– Poor because: It’s too broad to be answered in a lifetime –
focus more
“How can psychologists influence the jury system”
– Poor because: It’s also too broad, though it might lead to
researchable questions if it can be narrowed down

r g a n i z at i o n s are inherently social systems. The
people in these systems have identities, relationships,
communities, attitudes, emotions, and differentiated
powers. So when you try to change any part of the system, all of
these factors come into play, adding many layers of complexity to a
change process. Successful management of change requires that you
recognize the primacy of people factors and the social systems in
which they operate.
The rank and ?le, the resisters, and the change agents are the
three sets of players typically encountered in a change initiative.
Each has unique characteristics, and each requires a different style
of management.
The Rank and File
If you’ve spent much time observing life in the forest, you’ve probably noticed how animals establish routines. Deer, for example, create
paths between their daytime sleeping areas and the streams, ?elds,
and meadows where they look for food and water after dark.They
stick to those paths as long as they are safe and offer few impediments
to movement.
People also develop routines.Think about your own routine on a
typical Saturday morning. Sleep until 8. Start a load of laundry. Cook
the nice breakfast you never have time to make during the week. Pay
the week’s bills.Take the dog for a walk to the park. Chances are that

you have routines at work as well. Like the woodland deer, people
follow trails that are familiar, comfortable, safe, and satisfying. And
they aren’t eager to change unless given compelling reasons to do
so. People also have “social routines” at work—associations with
coworkers that satisfy their needs as social animals—and changes
that impinge on those routines are equally unwelcome.
Occasional diversions from routines and existing social patterns
add variety and interest—which please us. But diversions may also
create tension, anxiety, discomfort, and even fear. As the late longshoreman-philosopher Eric Hoffer wrote in The Ordeal of Change:“It
is my impression that no one really likes the new. We are afraid of it.”
He notes that even small changes from the routine can be upsetting.
Back in 1936 I spent a good part of the year picking peas. I started out
early in January in the Imperial Valley [of California] and drifted northward, picking peas as they ripened, until I picked the last peas of the
season in June, around Tracy.Then I shifted all the way to Lake County,
where for the ?rst time I was going to pick string beans.And I still remember how hesitant I was that ?rst morning as I was about to address
myself to the string bean vines.Would I be able to pick string beans?
Even the change from peas to string beans had in it elements of fear.
In the case of drastic change the uneasiness is of course deeper and
more lasting.We can never be really prepared for that which is wholly
new.We have to adjust ourselves and every radical adjustment is a crisis
in self-esteem: we undergo a test, we have to prove ourselves. It needs inordinate self-con?dence to face drastic change without inner trembling.1
Certainly no two people feel the same “trembling” described by
Hoffer. And some individuals are absolutely energized by change.
The Myers-Briggs personality framework addresses this broad spectrum. At one end of the spectrum, for example, it describes a person
who likes a planned and organized approach to life (a “judging” person). He or she likes things settled.At the other end of the spectrum
is the “perceiving” person who prefers open options and a ?exible
and spontaneous approach to life.2 You probably have people representing both types in your organization, and as a manager, you need
to learn to deal with the full range of personalities. In particular:

Managing Change and Transition
• Think about the people who will participate in your change
initiative.Who will react negatively to having their routines
disrupted, and who will positively enjoy the experience?
Make a list.
• Once you’ve identi?ed people likely to be uncomfortable with
change, think about their roles in the change initiative.They
probably aren’t the ones you’ll want in key positions where initiative and enthusiasm are needed.Think, too, about how these
individuals can be helped through the process.
• For individuals with pro-change dispositions, consider ways to
optimize the energy they bring to the program, and how they
can work with others.
And don’t forget about yourself. Like everyone else you have a
unique disposition to change. You either love it, hate it, or (more
likely) you’re somewhere between those extremes.
Discovery Learning, Inc. of Greensboro, North Carolina, has developed a helpful methodology for measuring an individual’s disposition to change, indicating where that person is likely to fall on a
“preferred style” continuum.3 In their model, “Conservers” occupy
one end of the continuum.Conservers are people who prefer current
circumstances over the unknown—people who are more comfortable with gradual change than with anything radical. Occupying the
opposite end of the spectrum are the “Originators,” who prefer more
rapid and radical change.“Originators are representative of the reengineering approach to change,” according to Discovery Learning.“The
goal of an Originator is to challenge existing structure, resulting in
fast, fundamentally different, even systemic changes.” 4 Occupying a
middle position between these two extremes are the “Pragmatists”
who support change when it clearly addresses current challenges.
Pragmatists are less wedded to the existing structure than to structures
that are likely to be successful.(See “Change Style Characteristics”for
more on how Discovery Learning generalizes the characteristics of
people who represent these three change style preferences.)

Change Style Characteristics
When Facing Change, Conservers:
• Generally appear deliberate, disciplined, and organized
• Prefer change that maintains current structure
• May operate from conventional assumptions
• Enjoy predictability
• May appear cautious and in?exible
• May focus on details and the routine
• Honor tradition and established practice
When Facing Change, Pragmatists:
• May appear practical, agreeable, ?exible
• Prefer change that emphasizes workable outcomes
• Are more focused on results than structure
• Operate as mediators and catalysts for understanding
• Are open to both sides of an argument
• May take more of a middle-of-the-road approach
• Appear more team-oriented
When Facing Change, Originators:
• May appear unorganized, undisciplined, unconventional,
and spontaneous
• Prefer change that challenges current structure

• May appear as visionary and systemic in their thinking
• Can treat accepted policies and procedures with little regard

Knowing where your coworkers stand—and where you stand—
in a change preference continuum such as this one can help you be
more effective in managing the people side of a change initiative.
The Resisters
“The reformer has enemies in all those who pro?t by the old order,”
Machiavelli warned his readers. And what held true in sixteenthcentury Italy remains true today. Some people clearly enjoy advantages that—rightly or wrongly—they view as threatened by change.
They may perceive change as endangering their livelihoods, their
perks, their workplace social arrangements, or their status in the organization. Others know that their specialized skills will be rendered
less valuable. For example, when a supplier of automotive hydraulic
steering systems switched in the late 1990s to electronic steering
technology, employees with expertise in hoses, valves, and ?uid pressure were suddenly less important.The know-how they had developed over long careers was suddenly less valuable for the company.
Any time people perceive themselves as losers in a change initiative, expect resistance. Resistance may be passive, in the form of noncommitment to the goals and the process for reaching them, or
active, in the form of direct opposition or subversion. How will you
deal with that resistance?

Change masters have dealt with resisters in different ways over
the years. French revolutionaries used the guillotine.The Bolsheviks
had resisters shot or packed off to the gulags. Mao and his communist followers sent them to “reeducation” camps. Employment laws
have removed these proven techniques from the corporate change
master’s tool kit, but there are other things you can do.You can begin
by identifying potential resisters and try to redirect them. Here’s
where you can start:
• Always try to answer the question,“Where and how will
change create pain or loss in the organization?”
• Identify people who have something to lose, and try to anticipate how they will respond.
• Communicate the “why” of change to potential resisters. Explain the urgency of moving away from established routines
or arrangements.
• Emphasize the bene?ts of change to potential resisters.Those
bene?ts might be greater future job security, higher pay, and so
forth.There’s no guarantee that the bene?ts of change will exceed the losses for these individuals. However, explaining the
bene?ts will help shift their focus from negatives to positives.
• Help resisters ?nd new roles—roles that represent genuine contributions and mitigate their losses.
• Remember that many people resist change because it represents
a loss of control over their daily lives.You can return some of that
control by making them active partners in the change program.
If these interventions fail, move resisters out of your unit.You cannot afford to let a few disgruntled individuals subvert the progress
of the entire group. But don’t make them “walk the plank.” Do what
you can to relocate them to positions where their particular skills
can be better used.That’s what the innovator of electronic steering
systems did.That company still had plenty of business supplying hydraulic systems to car and truck manufacturers, so it employed its

Managing Change and Transition
hydraulic specialists in those units even as it hired electronic engineers for its expanding new business.
As you consider resisters, don’t forget that your own approach to
initiating or managing change may be contributing to the problem.
We noted in the previous chapter that “technical” solutions imposed
from the outside often breed resistance because they fail to recognize
the social dimension of work. Paul Lawrence made this point many
years ago in his classic Harvard Business Review article “How to Deal
With Resistance to Change.” 5 In looking at interrelationships among
employees Lawrence found that change originating among employees who work closely together is usually implemented smoothly. But
change imposed by outsiders threatens powerful social bonds, generating resentment and resistance. So be sure to evaluate what part you
may be playing in the resistance problem.
Dealing with Passive Resisters
Earlier, we described passive resistance to change as noncommitment
to goals and the process for reaching them. Passive resisters frustrate
managers. While they don’t sabotage the program, they certainly
don’t help the initiative move forward.
The reason that a person won’t change, explain psychologists
Robert Kegan and Lisa Laskow Lahey, is that he or she has a “competing commitment”—a subconscious, hidden goal that con?icts with
the stated commitment.6 For example, a project leader who is dragging
his feet may have an unrecognized competing commitment to avoid
tougher assignments that may come his way if he’s too successful with
the current project. A supervisor who cannot seem to get on board
with the new team-based approach to problem-solving may be worried
that she will be seen as incompetent if she cannot solve problems herself.
Though competing commitments are likely to be lodged deep
in an employee’s psyche, some serious probing on your part can
sometimes get them to the surface, where you and the employee can
deal with them.The most practical advice here is to engage in oneon-one communication with the passive resister.You need to ?nd
out what’s keeping this person from participating in an active way.

The Change Agents
Think for a moment about the big, big changes in the world over the
centuries. Chances are that you can associate individuals with each of
those changes. Copernicus and Galileo ultimately changed our view
of where we stand relative to our neighbors in the solar system. Martin Luther split Christendom in two and contributed indirectly to the
rise of nation states in Europe. Charles Darwin’s theory on natural selection torpedoed the accepted wisdom on humankind’s history.Karl
Marx,a thinker, and Vladimir Lenin,a doer,created a communist movement that, at its apex, held sway over almost half the world. Henry
Ford and his engineers developed a new approach to manufacturing—the assembly line—that fundamentally altered the auto industry and many other industries. In each of these cases, someone who
thought differently had a major impact on human history.None began
with serious resources or backing, all were outsiders, and all faced
substantial opposition.All were what we call change agents.
Change agents are catalysts who get the ball rolling, even if they
do not necessarily do most of the pushing. Everett Rogers described
them as ?gures with one foot in the old world and one in the new—
creators of a bridge across which others can travel.7 They help others
to see what the problems are, and convince them to grapple with
them. Change agents, in his view, ful?ll critical roles.They:
• articulate the need for change;
• are accepted by others as trustworthy and competent (people
must accept the messenger before they accept the message);
• see and diagnose problems from the perspective of their audience;
• motivate people to change;
• work through others in translating intent into action;
• stabilize the adoption of innovation; and
• foster self-renewing behavior in others so that they can “go out
of business” as change agents.

Managing Change and Transition
Who in your organization has these characteristics? Are you
one of them? It is important to identify the change agents so that
you can place them in key positions during a change effort. In a
self-regenerating company, you’ll ?nd change agents in many different operating units and at all different levels. (See “Tips for Identifying Change Agents” for more information.)
Can change agents be created? Perhaps. One German electronics
?rm did so in the 1990s when it faced poor ?nancial performance,
sagging morale, and weak competitiveness.The company was overconsulted and under-managed.Many of its best young employees were
unhappy with consecutive years of losses and dimming prospects.The
company’s rigid corporate hierarchy was partly to blame.Management
recognized that it had to distribute authority and decision making
more broadly. To accomplish this it created a change agent program
that sent two dozen hand-picked employees to the United States for
special training, which included abundant exposure to entrepreneurial
American ?rms. Once the training program was completed, the newly
minted change agents were transferred back to their units, where they
worked to break the mold of the old hierarchical system.
General Motors attempted something very similar in its joint
venture with Toyota: the NUMMI small car assembly plant in California. That plant was run according to Toyota’s world-beating
production methods, and GM rotated manufacturing managers
through the plant to learn Toyota’s methods and, hopefully, bring a
working knowledge of those methods back to Detroit.As described
earlier, furniture maker Herman Miller sought the same result when
it moved managers from its SQA unit into its traditional operating
units; it ?gured that these individuals would infect others with their
faster, more accurate approach to manufacturing and ful?llment.
Your search for change agents shouldn’t necessarily be limited
to company personnel. Every so often it’s wise to look outside for
people who have the skills and attitudes required to stir things up
and get the organization moving in a new and more promising direction. This approach is not without risk, since the outsider’s lack
of familiarity with the company’s culture may result in unforeseen
turmoil. For a discussion of this issue, see “The Insider-Outsider as
Change Agent” and its Harvard Business Review excerpt.

Social and Human Factors
Tips for Identifying Change Agents
• Find out who people listen to. Change agents lead with the
power of their ideas. But be warned:These may not be employees with formal authority to lead.
• Be alert to people who “think otherwise.” Change agents are
not satis?ed with things as they are—a fact that may not endear them to management.
• Take a close look at new employees who have come from
outside the circle of traditional competitors.They may not
be infected with the same mind-set as everyone else.
• Look for people with unusual training or experience. For example, if all your marketing people have business degrees and
heavy quantitative research backgrounds, look for the oddball
liberal arts major who has a degree in social anthropology.

The Insider-Outsider as Change Agent
Many companies feel that the only way to create change and
make it stick is to bring in outsiders with no ties to the status
quo. Others fear that outsiders who don’t understand the business, its culture, and its values will simply create disruption.
Writing in the Harvard Business Review, Donald Sull recommends that leadership for change be invested in individuals who
represent both sides of the coin: a fresh perspective on the business and a solid appreciation for the company’s culture.
Guiding a company through big changes requires a dif?cult balancing
act.The company’s heritage has to be respected even as it’s being resisted. It’s often assumed that outsider managers are best suited to lead
such an effort since they’re not bound by the company’s historical

Managing Change and Transition
formula. . . .Typically, outsiders are so quick to throw out all the old
ways of working that they end up doing more harm than good.
The approach I recommend is to look for new leaders from within
the company but from outside the core business. These managers,
whom I call inside-outsiders,can be drawn from the company’s smaller
divisions, from international operations, or from staff functions. . . .
Insider-outsiders have led many of the most dramatic corporate
transformations in recent times. Jack Welch spent most of his career
in GE’s plastics business; Jürgen Schrempp was posted in South
Africa before returning to run [DaimlerChrysler]; and Domenico
De Sole served as the Gucci Group’s legal counsel before leading
that company’s dramatic rejuvenation.
Another alternative is to assemble management teams that leverage the strengths of both insiders and outsiders.When [Lou] Gerstner took over at IBM, he didn’t force out all the old guard. Most
operating positions continued to be staffed by IBM veterans with
decades of experience, but they were supported by outsiders in key
staff slots and marketing roles.The combination of perspectives has
allowed IBM to use old strengths to fuel its passage down an entirely new course.
Finally, inside managers can break free of their old formulas by
imagining themselves as outsiders, as Intel’s executives did in deciding to abandon the memory business. Intel had pioneered the market
for memory chips, and for most of its executives, employees, and customers,Intel meant memory. As new competitors entered the market,
however, Intel saw its share of the memory business dwindle. . . .
Although Intel had built an attractive microprocessor business
during this time, it clung to the memory business until its chairman,
Gordon Moore, and its president, Andy Grove, sat down and deliberately imagined what would happen if they were replaced with
outsiders.They agreed that outsiders would get out of the memory
business—and that’s exactly what Moore and Grove did.While a
company’s competitive formula exerts a tremendous gravitational
pull, thinking like outsiders can help insiders to break free.a

Summing Up
Change is complicated by the fact that organizations are social systems whose participants have identities, relationships, communities,
routines, emotions, and differentiated powers. Thus managers must
be alert to how a change will con?ict with existing social systems
and individual routines.
This chapter explored the three identity categories that employees typically fall into:
• The rank and ?le is likely to include people who exhibit a spectrum
of reactions to change. This chapter adopted the terms “conservers,”“pragmatists,” and “originators” to describe how different people respond to change. Knowing where your coworkers
stand—and where you stand—in a change preference continuum
such as this one can help you be more effective in managing the
people side of a change initiative.
• Change resisters will either drag their feet or actively attempt to
undermine your efforts. You can identify potential resisters by
determining where and how change will create pain or loss in the
organization. Once you’ve identi?ed them, there are several things
you can do to neutralize their resistance or make them active participants.These include: explaining the urgent need to change, describing how change will produce bene?ts for them, and ?nding
new ways in which they can contribute. People who do not respond to these efforts should be moved out of your unit.
• Change agents see the need for change and articulate it effectively
to others. They are critical catalysts for a change initiative and
should be placed in key positions.This chapter has provided tips
for identifying change agents.

Developmental Psychology Infant Categorization Study Presentation

Description

 

Unformatted Attachment Preview

Paper presentation (Psych UA-34 Summer 2023)
An important aspect of science is being able to communicate research to an audience. Scientific
communication (1) allows other researchers to know what has already been studied (and build o? that
work!) and (2) allows parents and educators to know what research has to say about best practices for
interacting with children.
In this talk, assume you are talking to a general audience who has minimal prior knowledge about
psychological research.
Guidelines:
The presentation should be 4 – 5 minutes long (presentations will be hard capped at 6 minutes).
How should you use that time? Here’s a rough breakdown:
•
•
•
1 – 2 minutes: introduction / methods
What was their research question, what did we already know before doing the study, what are
they trying to learn with this study, how did they study it?
1 – 2 minutes: data / results
What did they find? Spend time explaining the main graph or finding of the paper. Data takes
time for an audience to process!)
1ish minutes: conclusion
What does the data mean? How does it translate to the real world?
Tips:
•
Avoid jargon! It’s a short talk and one to a general audience. You don’t have enough time to
deep dive into what lots of specific words and concepts mean. There might be a couple of
words that you just can’t substitute, but if there’s a general word in English that can easily
substitute for something, use that instead!
E.g., instead of using semantic knowledge, could use “word meaning”
instead of using self-locomotion, could use “crawling” or “walking”
•
Keep text on slides to a minimum. Use 28 font size or bigger. When possible, use images or
graphs to convey concepts.
•
Try to have a single sentence or two that serves as a clear takeaway.
•
Start with an example if possible. When setting up the introduction, it can help to use an
example from real-life to set up a problem (rather than just talking about it)

uman infants rapidly tune in to the signals of human language. At birth, they prefer listening to the vocalizations of
human and nonhuman primates over arti?cial sounds; within
months, as their listening preferences narrow, they become attuned to human speech, and to their own native language(s) in
particular (1–7).
Interestingly, the developmental path underlying infants’ rapid
tuning to the faces of communicative partners follows a similar
trajectory: Infants’ prowess in human face-processing derives
from a broader template that initially encompasses faces of both
humans and nonhuman primates before tuning speci?cally to
human faces (8–10). Moreover, these tuning effects are also
evident in infants’ cross-modal (auditory-visual) matching. Initially, human infants reveal a broad capacity to match speciesspeci?c vocalizations and faces (e.g., matching human vocalizations to human faces and nonhuman primate vocalizations to
nonhuman primate faces), but within the ?rst year of life, this
broad pattern of cross-modal matching narrows, as infants tune
speci?cally to the correspondences between human vocalizations
and faces (11–14). Perceptual tuning effects like these, ubiquitous throughout the animal kingdom (15, 16), are adaptive: They
ensure that infants direct their attention increasingly toward the
communicative signals of our species and toward the individuals
who will serve as their communicative and pedagogical partners.
www.pnas.org/cgi/doi/10.1073/pnas.1221166110
However, to learn language, infants must do more than tune in
to the sounds of their native language. They must also discover
how these sounds are linked to meaning. Remarkably, infants
make rapid headway toward establishing just such a link. For
infants as young as 3 mo of age, human language evokes more
than simple listening preferences: it also engages infants’ core
cognitive capacities. Listening to human vocalizations engenders
in young infants more in-depth processing of the objects in their
environment and supports their formation of object categories
(17). Categorization, a building block of cognition, is inherent in
a wide range of processes including conceptual organization and
reasoning (18–20). In infants, a precocious link between language and object categorization was documented using a simple
object categorization task. Infants ?rst viewed a series of distinct
images from one object category (e.g., dinosaurs). Each image
was presented in conjunction with either a segment of human
speech or a sequence of sine-wave tones, matched precisely to
the human speech segment in mean frequency, amplitude, duration, and pause lengths. At test, all infants viewed two test
images, presented in silence: a new member of the now-familiar
category (a dinosaur) and a member of a novel category (a ?sh).
Following the logic established for infant looking-time paradigms, if infants formed the object category (dinosaurs), they
were expected to distinguish the test images, expressing this
discrimination behaviorally with a reliable preference for either
the familiar or the novel image (21).
The results were straightforward. Infants hearing the tone
sequences failed to discriminate between the test images at any
age. In sharp contrast, infants hearing human speech successfully
formed the object category, expressing their distinction ?rst as
a familiarity preference (in 3-mo-old infants) and later as a
novelty preference (in 4- to 12-mo-old infants) (17, 22, 23). This
age-related shift is consistent with a systematic progression
documented in infancy research: familiarity preferences tend to
be expressed early (in very young infants and in older infants
before they have gained suf?cient familiarization), and novelty
preferences tend to be expressed later in development, or after
suf?cient familiarization (21, 24, 25). Although the precise
mechanism underlying this progression is not yet fully speci?ed,
advances in brain maturation, processing speed, and encoding
ef?ciency are implicated. These results documented that human
speech is not only a preferred signal, but also confers an adaptive
advantage: By 3 mo, infants are not only tuned to the communicative signals of their partners, but also to a principled and
surprisingly early link between these signals and the fundamental
cognitive process of categorization.

PSYCHOLOGICAL AND
COGNITIVE SCIENCES
Language is a signature of our species and our primary conduit for
conveying the contents of our minds. The power of language
derives not only from the exquisite detail of the signal itself but
also from its intricate link to human cognition. To acquire a
language, infants must identify which signals are part of their
language and discover how these signals are linked to meaning. At
birth, infants prefer listening to vocalizations of human and
nonhuman primates; within 3 mo, this initially broad listening
preference is tuned speci?cally to human vocalizations. Moreover,
even at this early developmental point, human vocalizations
evoke more than listening preferences alone: they engender in
infants a heightened focus on the objects in their visual environment and promote the formation of object categories, a fundamental cognitive capacity. Here, we illuminate the developmental
origin of this early link between human vocalizations and cognition.
We document that this link emerges from a broad biological template
that initially encompasses vocalizations of human and nonhuman
primates (but not backward speech) and that within 6 mo this link
to cognition is tuned speci?cally to human vocalizations. At 3 and
4 mo, nonhuman primate vocalizations promote object categorization, mirroring precisely the advantages conferred by human
vocalizations, but by 6 mo, nonhuman primate vocalizations no
longer exert this advantageous effect. This striking developmental
shift illuminates a path of specialization that supports infants as
they forge the foundational links between human language and
the core cognitive processes that will serve as the foundations
of meaning.
This evidence is intriguing, but it leaves open a key developmental question: What is the developmental origin of this link?
Is the link speci?c to human vocalizations from the start, or does
it derive from a broader template, perhaps one that initially also
encompasses the vocalizations of nonhuman primates? Here, we
address this question directly. To do so, we traced the effect of
introducing two new auditory signals—a nonhuman primate
vocalization and backward human speech—on infants’ object
categorization over the ?rst 6 mo of life.
Experiment 1: Nonhuman Primate Vocalization
If the link between human language and cognition emerges from
a broader template, then the vocalizations of nonhuman primates
may initially confer the same adaptive advantage as human
vocalizations.
Thirty-six infants participated, 12 at each of three ages (3, 4,
and 6 mo old). We adapted the categorization task described
earlier (17, 23), this time accompanying each of the familiarization images with a vocalization of a blue-eyed Madagascar
lemur (Eulemur macaco ?avifrons) (Fig. 1). By 3 mo, infants
discriminate vocalizations of humans from those of nonhuman
primates (1, 14). We selected a lemur vocalization because although it differs distinctly from human vocalizations, it nonetheless shares certain acoustic properties with infant-directed
speech. More speci?cally, the lemur vocalization that we selected falls naturally within the mean frequency range of infantdirected human speech and is comparable in duration to the
infant-directed speech segments that were presented to infants in
previous object categorization tasks (17, 22, 23; Audio File S1).
At test, infants viewed two images simultaneously: a new member of the familiar category (e.g., a new dinosaur) and a member
of a novel category (e.g., a ?sh), presented in silence. We recorded
infants’ looking time to each image.
At 3 and 4 mo, infants’ responses to the lemur vocalization
mirrored precisely their responses to human vocalizations (17),
reliably distinguishing the novel from familiar test images.
Infants exhibited familiarity preferences at 3 mo [t(11) = -3.427,
P = 0.006] and novelty preferences at 4 mo [t(11) = 2.693, P =
0.021] (Fig. 2). However, by 6 mo lemur vocalizations no longer
exerted this facilitative effect [mean = 0.52, SD = 0.07, t(11) =
1.039, P = 0.321] (Fig. 2). An ANOVA documented this significant effect of age [F(3,26) = 13.702, P < 0.001].
A series of supplementary analyses compared infants’ responses
to lemur vocalizations (reported here) and human speech [reported previously (17), using the same inclusion criteria]. First,
we compared 3- and 4-mo-olds’ responses to human speech and
lemur vocalizations directly. Infants responded identically to
Fig. 1. Experimental design. During the familiarization phase, each infant
viewed eight different exemplars, presented sequentially, in conjunction
with either the lemur vocalization (experiment 1) or backward speech (experiment 2). During the test phase, each infant viewed images from the
familiar and novel categories, presented simultaneously in silence.

Fig. 2. Infants’ responses to lemur vocalizations (experiment 1) and backward speech (experiment 2). At 3 and 4 mo, infants hearing lemur vocalizations were not only more likely than chance, but also more likely than
those hearing backward speech, to discriminate between the novel and familiar test objects; at 6 mo, neither lemur vocalizations nor backward speech
supported object categorization. For the purpose of comparison, we also
show infants’ responses to human vocalizations (e.g., “Look at the modi!”)
and to pure sine-wave tone sequences [e.g., 400- or 800-Hz tones; matched
to the human vocalization stimuli for mean frequency, duration, and pause
length (17, 23)]. Error bars represent ±1 SEM. Signi?cant differences between preference score and chance performance (0.50) are marked by an
asterisk (P < 0.05).
these two conditions [F(1,42) = 0.004, P > 0.05]. Second, we
examined individual infants’ responses to these vocalizations.
The results were striking: 92% of the 3-mo-olds hearing lemur
vocalizations (and 90% of those hearing human speech) exhibited
familiarity preferences (P = 0.006, binomial comparison); 83% of
the 4-mo-olds hearing lemur vocalizations (and 83% hearing human speech) exhibited novelty preferences (P = 0.039). Third,
strong correlations between infants’ age and preference scores,
documented previously in infants’ responses to human speech
[r(20) = 0.61, P < 0.05], were echoed here in infants’ responses to
lemur vocalizations [r(22) = 0.60, P < 0.05] (Fig. 3A). Finally, to
gain insight into the shift from familiarity to novelty preferences
at 3 and 4 mo, we examined the performance of an additional
group of infants: 4-mo-olds who heard lemur vocalizations but
were excluded from the main analyses because they attended
insuf?ciently to the familiarization images. These infants, like
their 4-mo-old counterparts who heard human speech but who
also accrued minimal exposure to the familiarization images,
exhibited a signi?cant familiarity preference [t(10) = -1.935,
P = 0.041, one-tailed]. The ?nding that 4-mo-olds with minimal
exposure to the familiarization performed identically to their more
attentive 3-mo-old counterparts suggests that the systematic shift
from familiarity to novelty preference in this task may be mediated
by infants’ processing and encoding of the materials, rather than
by their maturational state. Together, these analyses highlight
the compelling parallels between 3- and 4-mo-olds’ responses to
human speech and lemur vocalizations.
These results reveal that the link between human language
and object categorization, evident at 3 mo of age, derives from
a broader template that initially encompasses vocalizations of
human and nonhuman primates and is rapidly tuned speci?cally
to human vocalizations. However, what is the best account of this
phenomenon? Is the facilitative effect conferred by lemur (and
human) vocalizations speci?c to primate vocalizations? Or is it
a consequence of the acoustic complexity of these vocalizations,
especially compared with sine-wave tones? After all, it is well

asterisk (P < 0.05).
documented that infants’ attention and arousal are enhanced in
the context of complex acoustic stimuli (26, 27).
Experiment 2: Backward Human Speech
To adjudicate between these alternatives, we presented another
group of 36 infants (12 per age group) with backward speech in
the context of the same object categorization task described
earlier. In fact, we presented the same segment of human speech
from ref. 17, but played it backward (Audio File S2). This segment
provides an ideal point of comparison, for although backward
speech is identical to forward speech in perceptual complexity, it
violates fundamental acoustic properties of forward speech, is
processed in different brain regions than forward speech from
birth, and is impossible to produce with a mammalian vocal tract
(3, 28). We reasoned as follows: If the cognitive advantage conferred by lemur (and human) vocalizations is a general consequence of young infants’ heightened attention in the context of
complex acoustic stimuli, then 3- and 4-mo-old infants hearing
backward speech should also successfully form object categories.
However, this was not the case (Fig. 2). Instead, infants hearing
backward speech failed to form object categories, performing
at chance levels at each age: 3 mo [t(11) = 0.504, P = 0.624], 4 mo
[t(11) = -0.212, P = 0.836], and 6 mo [t(11) = 0.280, P = 0.280].
An ANOVA comparing infants’ responses at each age to lemur
vocalizations (experiment 1) and backward speech (experiment
2) revealed a signi?cant interaction [F(5,66) = 5.021, P = 0.009]:
although infants’ responses to these two signals differed at 3
and 4 mo, by 6 mo, infants’ responses to these signals were
indistinguishable.
Finally, a supplementary series of analyses revealed that
infants’ responses to backward speech (reported here) mirrored
their responses to sine-wave tone sequences [reported previously
(17), using the same inclusion criteria]. An ANOVA revealed no
main effects or interactions between infants’ responses to these
signals (all P > 0.05). Moreover, as was the case for tone
Ferry et al.
General Discussion
The current work reveals that tuning processes not only guide
human infants to the communicative signals of our species, but
also support the very ?rst links between these signals and the
core cognitive capacities that will ultimately constitute the foundations of meaning. We document that a link between human
language and object categorization, evident at 3 mo of age, derives
from a broader template that initially encompasses vocalizations
of human and nonhuman primates and is rapidly tuned speci?cally
to human vocalizations. This work sheds light on a path of developmental specialization that supports infants’ ?rst steps toward
establishing the links between human language and cognition that
are the hallmark of the human mind and the primary conduit for
the cultural transmission of knowledge.
This work provides unique insight into the processes that undergird infant language development, concept development, and
the links between them. First, we document that in human infants,
the fundamental process of developmental narrowing extends
well beyond purely perceptual discriminations and preferences
(1, 5–7). Perceptual narrowing is well underway within the ?rst
months of life. For example, neonates’ listening preferences,
which include both human and nonhuman primate vocalizations,
give way to a strong preference for human over nonhuman
vocalizations by 3 mo (1, 5). However, despite their clearly-tuned
preference for human vocalizations, nonhuman primate vocalizations conferred precisely the same conceptual advantages at
3 and 4 mo as human vocalizations, an advantage that by 6 mo
was tuned speci?cally to human vocalizations. This constitutes
evidence that the power of developmental tuning reaches beyond perceptual capacities alone to support the establishment
of foundational cross-modal links between human language and
the core cognitive processes that will serve as the foundations
of meaning.
Second, we identify very detailed parallels in young infants’
responses to human and nonhuman vocalizations. Despite their
preference for human vocalizations (1) and the vast differences
in their prior exposure to these stimuli, infants hearing human
and nonhuman vocalizations revealed the same, precisely timed
shift from familiarity preferences (at 3 mo) to novelty preferences (at 4 mo) (Figs. 2 and 3). This parallel, striking in itself,
also sets limits on the role of prior exposure in infants’ processing
speed, encoding ef?ciency and their expression of familiarity or
novelty preferences (21, 24, 25).
Third, these ?ndings offer insight into the mechanisms underlying infants’ initially broad link between language and object
categorization (17). Certainly, experience with human language
is instrumental in infants’ ?rst months of life (1, 5, 7, 29). Infants
may quickly learn that human language heralds interesting visible events or brings with it rewarding affective experiences.
Associations like these would likely engender in infants heightened attention in the context of human vocalizations. However,
we document here that lemur vocalizations—an entirely unfamiliar signal—engender the same facilitative effect as human
vocalizations at 3 and 4 mo. We therefore conclude that the
starting point for human infants’ link between language and core
cognitive processes cannot be derived from learning alone.
These ?ndings also open several avenues for additional research. First, it will be important to discover the boundary conditions on the signals that initially engage infants’ cognitive
processes, including object categorization. Is this link suf?ciently
broad to include naturalistic vocalizations beyond those of our
closest genealogical cousins, or is it restricted to primates, whose
vocalizations may be perceptually just close enough to our own
to serve as early candidates for the platform on which human

sequences, there was no correlation between infants’ age and
preference scores for backward speech [r(22) = -0.18, P > 0.05]
(Fig. 3B).
language is launched? Does the initial link encompass communicative signals from other modalities (e.g., signed languages), or
does it privilege vocalizations from the start (30, 31)? Additional
research will also be required to ascertain whether the tuning
process that we have documented here has begun even earlier, in
infants younger than 3 mo of age. It will also be important to
investigate whether and how infants’ exposure to multiple languages in?uences the course of this developmental progression
(32, 33).
Another key question concerns the boundary conditions on
the kinds of cognitive capacities that are initially engaged by
human and nonhuman vocalizations. The evidence reported here
documents an advantageous effect of human and nonhuman
primate vocalizations on one fundamental cognitive process:
object categorization. Do vocalizations initially support other
cognitive processes (e.g., object individuation), or does the link
to cognition initially privilege object categorization? Finally,
additional work will help to reveal whether and how the striking
developmental effects documented here are gated by experience, maturation, or an interaction between these twin engines
of development.
Methods
Participants. Seventy-two healthy, full-term infants from predominantly
college-educated, white families living in the Greater Chicago Area participated. All procedures were approved by the Northwestern University Institutional Review Board and informed consent was obtained from the
parents of all infants. There were 36 infants per experiment divided into 12
infants per age: 3-mo-olds (2 mo, 11 d to 3 mo, 20 d; mean = 3 mo, 2 d), 4-moolds (3 mo, 25 d to 4 mo, 16 d; mean = 4 mo, 6 d), and 6-mo-olds (5 mo, 18 d
to 6 mo, 24 d; mean = 6 mo, 3 d). Infants who devoted insuf?cient attention
(less than 50% overall) to familiarization images (43, distributed evenly across
conditions and sex) were analyzed separately. Additional infants were excluded for fussiness (10) and parental interference (4). Excluded infants did
not differ in either age or sex from included infants; this exclusion rate is
consistent with prior work (17, 23).
Parents were asked whether their infant was exposed to any language(s)
other than English and the percentage of time another language was spoken
to the infant. Approximately 70% of the infants were raised in a monolingual
environment. The remaining infants, who were exposed to more than one
language (at least 20% of the time), were evenly distributed across ages and
experiments, and performed comparably to those exposed only to English.
Infants with bilingual exposure had a variety of linguistic backgrounds including exposure to Spanish (~50%) and a variety of other languages. This
variation in language exposure prevented us from identifying effects of
monolingual versus bilingual exposure in this experiment.
images varied in color; within each test pair, images were matched in color.
Images (~15 cm2) were projected onto a white screen ~75 cm from the
infant’s eyes.
Auditory. A vocalization of a blue-eyed Madagascar lemur (E. macaco ?avifrons) and a segment of backward speech [a labeling phrase from ref. 17,
played in reverse], each ~2.2 s, were played from a hidden speaker, located
56 cm below the center of the screen. (Audio Files S1 and S2).
Procedure. Infants were seated on a parent’s lap, facing a wooden puppet
stage (located 93 cm above the ?oor; the front opening was 61 cm high ×
106 cm wide). The visual images were projected onto a screen resting on the
stage ?oor. The left and right positions of the projected images were separated by 11 cm. Parents were instructed not to in?uence their infant’s attention. Infant behavior was recorded by a video camera (hidden 12 cm
below the screen). During the task, two trained coders, blind to condition
assignment, recorded infants’ visual attention; reliability between these
coders was 90%.
Familiarization trials. Visual stimuli (either dinosaurs or ?sh) were presented on
alternating sides of the screen (20 s each). Auditory stimuli (either lemur
vocalization or backward speech) were presented as each image appeared
and repeated 8 s later.
Test trials. Each test pair appeared side-by-side, in silence, and remained visible
until the infant accumulated 10 s of looking at the test images. [Note: Three
infants in each experiment, who looked exclusively at one test image for
10 s, were presented with a second test trial with new images. In accordance
with previous implementations of this paradigm (17), the analyses reported
here include these infants’ performance on the second test trial; the same
pattern of results emerges, whether or not these infants are included.]
Across infants, left/right positions of the ?rst familiarization image and the
test images were counterbalanced.
Coding. Infants’ looking time at test served as our dependent measure. For
each infant, we calculated a preference score (looking time at novel image/
looking time at both images). Test trials were coded of?ine using frame-byframe software (34). Reliability between two trained observers, blind to
condition, was 91%.
Infants’ looking time during familiarization (coded online) revealed no
differences across age or experimental condition (P > 0.05). This provides

pragmatic—aware of the broad historic trajectories of globalization, but grounded in the real
kinds of decisions business leaders have to make now. His caveats about ‘semiglobalization’
provide a salutary reminder that massive change of this kind doesn’t happen overnight. By
basing his analysis on real-world case studies and a mastery of economic data, Ghemawat helps

CROSSING BORDERS IN A WORLD
WHERE DIFFERENCES STILL MATTER
NEW TOOLS FOR
SUCCEEDING GLOBALLY
W
hy do so many global strategies
fail—despite companies’ powerful
brands and other border-crossing
advantages? Because a one-size-fits-all strategy
no longer stands a chance.
When firms believe in the illusions of a “flat”
world and the death of distance, they charge
across borders as if the globe were one seamless
marketplace. But cross-border differences are
larger than we assume. Most economic activity—
including trade, real and financial investment,
tourism, and communication—happens locally,
not internationally. In this “semiglobalized”
approach, companies can cross borders more
profitably by basing their strategies on the
geopolitical differences that matter; they must
identify the barriers their strategies have to
overcome, and they must build bridges to cross
those barriers. Based on rigorous research,
Pankaj Ghemawat shows how to create
successful strategies and provides practical
management tools so you can:
• Assess the cultural, administrative, geographic,
and economic differences between regions at
the industry level—and decide which ones
require attention
• Track the implications of the specific bordercrossing actions that will impact your
company’s ability to create value the most
• Generate superior performance through
strategies that are optimized for the three
A’s: adaptation (adjusting to differences),
aggregation (overcoming differences), and
arbitrage (exploiting differences)
Using in-depth examples, Ghemawat reveals
how companies such as Cemex, Toyota, Procter
& Gamble, Tata Consultancy Services, IBM,

Foreword
I F I R S T M E T Pankaj Ghemawat in September 1978, when I was look-
ing for a very talented undergraduate to help develop a course for the
then-nascent Harvard Negotiation Project. Ghemawat stood out on account of his international orientation as well as his intellectual gifts and
curiosity. Working with him for a year confirmed my initial sense that he
would go on to do great things.
I watched with interest as Ghemawat sped through his undergraduate
and PhD degrees at Harvard in a total of six years. I was pleased when he
decided to go consult after receiving his PhD. And I was delighted when
he was recruited by Michael Porter to join the Harvard Business School faculty at age twenty-three. He went on to become the youngest professor ever
granted tenure at Harvard Business School, on the strength of a body of
distinguished work on sustainability and competitive dynamics, particularly Commitment, which is my favorite book of his. Or was, until this one.
Redefining Global Strategy is based on a decade of immersion in the strategies of global enterprises. This research has already resulted in a stream of
articles in the Harvard Business Review, of which the two most recent are
“Regional Strategies for Global Leadership” (December 2005), which received HBR’s award for the best article published that year, and “Managing
Differences: The Central Challenge in Global Strategy,” which was published as the lead article in March 2007. But it is only in this book that
Ghemawat fully elaborates and explores the implications of his core proposition: that frontiers matter. Our age, he says, is not one of complete—or
even near-complete—globalization. Rather, the state of the world is more
appropriately characterized as “semiglobalization.”
Ghemawat’s notion of semiglobalization contradicts the current fanfare about frontiers subsiding and creating a flat world in which people
find both work and opportunity without being constrained by their location. For Thomas Friedman, the most prominent purveyor of this view,
“flatness” is forced primarily by technology. For Ted Levitt, writing more
than twenty years before Friedman, it was the result of a demand-side
force, the convergence of tastes. And then there are other variants on this

Foreword
broad vision. But they all naturally lead to an emphasis on size, and on
one-size-fits-all strategies.
Ghemawat is not persuaded. I imagine him, like Galileo Galilei before
the Inquisition, unable to keep from saying, “But it does move around the
sun!” In other words, a flat world may be rhetorically appealing to some,
but extensive empirical observation and analysis suggest that cultural, political, and geographic barriers between countries still loom large—and
have a major influence on global strategy.
If Ghemawat stopped there, he would simply have reminded us that
the world is a complex place and that strategic leadership is difficult.
But he is interested in providing actionable knowledge about global strategies that actually work. So Redefining Global Strategy gives the reader
coherent, powerful frameworks for thinking about the ways in which
borders matter and for evaluating cross-border moves. And perhaps even
more importantly, it develops an array of strategies for dealing with such
differences—strategies that go well beyond one-size-fits-all.
This array of strategies is particularly appealing to me because in twenty
years as a strategy consultant, I have seen many companies fail precisely
because they forgot the distinction between size and strategy. However,
strategy, which was invented both as a word and as a discipline in the battles of Marathon and Salamis between the Persians and the Greeks, is the
art and science of overcoming the advantage of size. Strategy is meant to
allow for victory of the small over the large, and the few over the many,
at least sometimes.
Ghemawat’s concept of semiglobalization not only fits with this broad
view of strategy, it also gives us the tools to advance successful globalization. As the founder of the consulting firm Panthea, and as the senior
executive adviser on strategic leadership to Booz Allen Hamilton, I am
proud that my two firms have recognized the value of these ideas. Their
initial reception by Booz Allen clients has been enthusiastic, and we expect that they will help us better understand the world—and change it for
the better.

B E H I N D T H I S B O O K is a personal journey from a small city in India,
to Indiana, back to India, then to Cambridge, Massachusetts, and recently
to Barcelona. Professionally, I began to work on the ideas in this book in
the mid-1980s, soon after I had joined the Harvard Business School faculty, when I wrote an early analytical piece on global strategy with Mike
Spence, one of my thesis advisers.
My interest in imbuing my work on strategy with a cross-border perspective was whetted further by a study on India’s competitiveness that
Mike Porter and I undertook in the mid-1990s for the Confederation of
Indian Industry. Shortly after, I was fortunate enough to take over Mike
Yoshino’s Global Strategy and Management course at HBS, which provided an opportunity to synchronize research, course development, and
writings for practitioners on this topic. I have now been focused on issues
related to globalization and global strategy more or less full time for the
better part of a decade. This phase of the journey has yielded about fifty
case studies and papers, this book, and sundry supporting materials such
as a CD on globalization, my Web site (which also lists most of my work
to date), and material for several ongoing projects.
I am particularly grateful to the Harvard Business School, which, under
Deans Kim Clark and Jay Light, has generously supported this program of
study for almost a decade. IESE Business School, under Dean Jordi Canals,
has been a wonderful place to put the finishing touches on this book. I am
also deeply indebted to the Harvard Business Review, where Tom Stewart,
David Champion, and others have helped shape and support my attempts
to communicate with practitioners. And, of course, thanks to Harvard
Business School Press for its work on this book, with particular gratitude
to Melinda Merino and Brian Surette for their counsel. Thanks also to my
agent, Helen Rees, for guiding me, and to my editor, Jeff Cruikshank, for
helping shape a jumble of complex ideas into a book.
My other, mostly content-related, debts are too numerous to acknowledge, including, as they do, learning from scores of colleagues, from the
hundreds of executives I’ve interviewed, and from the thousand-odd

students with whom I’ve worked through the concepts discussed here—as

Steketee, did some of the research for the chapters, read through them,
and managed the multiple incarnations of the manuscript. I am also indebted to Ken Mark and Beulah D’Souza for able research assistance. And
last but most important, thank you to my wife, Anuradha Mitra Ghemawat, for the reason explained in the dedication—and for many more.

New Preface
A D E C A D E H A S P A S S E D since the original release of Redefining Global
Strategy, and I could not be more pleased with how the ideas contained
in this volume have stood the test of time. The material in this book is,
arguably, even more important today than when the first edition came
out. Back in 2007, the common wisdom was that globalization was racing
ahead, flattening borders and erasing the effects of distance. As I write
this new preface, in 2017, many business leaders suspect that globalization has stalled or perhaps even suffered a reversal. This has prompted
rising interest in international strategies designed for a world where borders, geographic distance, and other differences between countries still
constrain international activity—the central theme of this book.
One reason that Redefining Global Strategy has remained so relevant
is that expectations about globalization have long tended to overshoot
reality—in both directions. The flat-world euphoria that prevailed a decade ago was so much removed from reality that I have debunked it as
globaloney.1 And more recently, proclamations that globalization is dead
and multinational firms are in retreat also seem exaggerated.2 When I
wrote this book, I anticipated such oscillations and made sure that my
recommendations could withstand them. In the final chapter, I predicted:
“Looking forward, levels of cross-border integration may increase, stagnate, or even suffer a sharp reversal if the experience between and during
the two world wars is any indication of the possibilities. But given the
parameters of the current situation, it seems unlikely that increases will
anytime soon yield a state in which the differences among countries can
be ignored. Or that decreases could lead to a state in which cross-border
linkages can be forgotten about.”
This book helps firms develop strategies to succeed in a world where
international opportunities and threats are key items on the strategy
agenda, but the markets in which most companies compete are still far
from completely integrated. I refer to this sort of world—which prevailed
in 2007 despite so much hype to the contrary and still prevails today—
as semiglobalized. As this book elaborates, semiglobalization opens up far
more interesting strategic opportunities for firms than would be available

New Preface
in a world where globalization is either negligible or complete. And after
devoting substantial effort in the years since this book was first published
to tracking globalization trends in the DHL Global Connectedness Index
and elsewhere, I am even more confident that the world will remain semiglobalized long into the future. In 2016, I even wrote an academic book
about how the effects of borders and distance are so reliable that they
underpin two scientific laws: the law of semiglobalization and the law of
distance.3
Somewhat less gratifying from an academic perspective, but another
reason why this book remains so relevant, is that most business leaders
are still unaware of how globalized the world really is and what that implies for international strategy. In 2017, I conducted a survey of managers
in three advanced economies (Germany, the United Kingdom, and the
United States) and three emerging economies (Brazil, China, and India).
I asked the participants to estimate several of the globalization metrics
covered in chapter 1. The average manager thought the world was five
times more globalized than it really is! And the evidence on how much
harm such globaloney does has also mounted since the initial publication
of this book. My recent surveys show that managers who have perceptions of globalization that are more exaggerated are more likely to make
some common errors in international strategy. And at the societal level,
my surveys show that more globaloney is associated with more anxiety about globalization’s alleged harmful side effects—effects that I put
into perspective in my 2011 book, World 3.0: Global Prosperity and How to
Achieve It.
As changes in the globalization environment prompt firms to reexamine their international strategies, the material in Redefining Global Strategy
provides a powerful complement to the content of my 2018 book, The
New Global Road Map: Enduring Strategies for Turbulent Times (also from
Harvard Business Review Press). The new book builds on this one but does
not repeat the same material. Redefining Global Strategy is, as indicated by
its title, devoted entirely to strategy, and so it explains my international
strategy frameworks at much greater length. The New Global Road Map,
in contrast, examines how globalization is evolving over various time
frames, and it discusses implications that extend beyond strategy. The
new book also examines choices about where to compete, how to organize, and how to engage better with society.
Redefining Global Strategy is organized in two parts. Part one introduces
the concept of semiglobalization and two key frameworks for thinking
about value creation and value capture in a semiglobalized world. More
specifically, chapter 1 debunks globaloney-induced myths and grounds
the book in a more realistic sense of globalization. Chapter 2 articulates

the CAGE (cultural, administrative, geographic, and economic) distance
framework, which has come to be widely used and illustrates its power
in business analysis. Chapter 3 provides a scorecard for thinking through
how international moves create or destroy value. The ADDING Value
scorecard encompasses six elements: adding volume or growth, decreasing costs, differentiating or increasing willingness to pay, improving industry attractiveness or bargaining power, normalizing or optimizing risk,
and generating knowledge and other resources and capabilities.
Part two is organized around three fundamental strategies that firms
can employ in a semiglobalized world: adaptation, aggregation, and arbitrage (AAA strategies). Chapter 4 covers adaptation strategies, suggesting a wide array of levers and sublevers that firms can use to adjust to
differences across countries. Chapter 5 discusses aggregation strategies,
which focus on overcoming some cross-country differences to achieve
more economies of scale or scope. Chapter 6 focuses on arbitrage strategies, which treat differences as a source of, rather than a constraint on,
international value creation. Chapter 7 brings these three strategy archetypes together and examines how firms should think about combinations
and trade-offs across them. Chapter 8 concludes with a short step-by-step
guide to help firms apply the key learning points from this book.
To recap, this book articulates a global strategy approach that is
grounded in a clear recognition of the persistent differences across countries and the challenges these differences pose for multinational firms.
The idea is to help businesses cross borders profitably by seeing the world
as it really is, rather than engaging in wishful thinking. To achieve this
objective, the book embodies what might be called the three Rs. First,
it is readable because of its unified point of view, its conciseness, and
its use of numerous examples. Second, the book is relevant for business
policymakers because I have written it around their needs (although it
may also interest leaders in the public sector and others seeking to understand cross-border business) and have kept the discussion grounded
in reality by focusing on value creation and capture. Also important in
this regard is the ease with which companies from different parts of the
world can customize the frameworks presented—which suggests some obvious follow-up exercises. In particular, the tools available on my website
at Ghemawat.com can help practitioners customize and apply this content. And third, the book is rigorous in the sense of drawing on research in
a variety of fields—including international economics, industrial organization, business strategy, and international business—as well as extensive
interactions with business leaders. So use it to your advantage!

Introduction
M Y F I R S T I N T E R N A T I O N A L case-writing experience, in the early
1990s, had me visit a Pepsi plant in the strife-torn Indian state of Punjab.
Given the political environment—a low-grade civil war—many workers
were militants who arrived at the plant each day toting their AK-47s.
Pepsi had set up a system whereby these could be checked in and then
retrieved at the end of a shift. Absolutely no AK-47s inside the building, the
HR director explained forcefully—introducing me to the large differences
with which international business must contend.
This sense of differences has been sharpened by the years I have spent
since then working on globalization and global strategy. As a result, instead of focusing on market size and the illusion of a borderless world,
this book reminds managers that if their businesses want to cross borders
successfully, they need to pay serious attention to the sustained differences between countries in developing and evaluating strategies. And it
provides them with the insights and tools necessary to do so.
To illustrate this perspective on globalization—or what I call semiglobalization—I’ll use football as a metaphor.1 U.S. readers may be disappointed that the kind of football that I have in mind is what they refer
to as soccer, but that itself makes a useful point about the differences between countries. Although football is supposed to be a global phenomenon—former UN secretary general Kofi Annan noted enviously that more
countries belong to FIFA, football’s governing body, than to the United
Nations—its hold on sports fans is very uneven, and the United States
constitutes the single largest exception to its general appeal.2
That said, the game has come a long way since English villagers began
kicking around pigs’ bladders in the Middle Ages. Football began to spread
internationally during the heyday of the British Empire, but the sport’s
globalization went into reverse in the interlude between World Wars I and
II, as authorities restricted the international transfer of players.

PSY 6114 Test Administration and Evaluation Questions

Description

The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate your understanding of issues and practices that influence evaluation and administration of psychological tests and measurement. Respond to the five following questions:

Develop several test items and describe methods for analyzing the appropriateness or inappropriateness of their inclusion on a test.

Criterion-referenced tests offer some advantages over tests that may be graded more subjectively and they are now quite prolific in school systems across the country. However, they have some specific problems. Discuss these advantages and disadvantages (feel free to integrate information from previous chapters). How would you improve this situation?

  1. Identify and discuss the limitations of item analysis.
  2. The state of the subject may well affect his or her test performance and may be a serious source of error. Discuss some possible subject variables that may interfere with or improve an individual’s performance on a test.
  3. Identify and discuss four advantages of computer-administered tests.

Nick Espada
Essentials of Psychology
February 12, 2024
Smartphone Use is Contagious
The media report was featured on Fox 5 News. It investigates the infectious mechanism of
phone-checking behavior. Carrying out the study at different locations, including waiting rooms,
parks, and restaurants, the researchers aimed to explore whether smartphone use depends on
watching. It was found that almost half of people who saw someone looking at a phone were
urged to do the same thing, and the behavior was consequently measured by calculating the
number of persons who checked their phones every thirty seconds after seeing that another
person did it. Influences such as time, specific situations, and the familiarity of the people with
one another shaped the results, showing how phone use depends on screen captivation (Media
Wire, 2021). One of the characteristics that the article keeps in a narrative form is that it does a
narration and shows the personal side of the story, which focuses on both the positive and
negative implications of phone usage. It examines the link between smartphone use and social
bonds; it presents the chameleon effect in establishing a psychological environment. The
importance of shared dining in decreasing the desire to use mobile devices is also underlined.
The report ends by highlighting the significance of analyzing mimicry in the proliferation of
smartphones, which broadens the debate about technology’s role in social behavior.
Navigating from Live to Virtual Social Interactions: Looking at but not Manipulating
Smartphones Provokes a Spontaneous Mimicry Response in the Observers
The study conducted by Maglieri et al. (2021) examined the natural imitation reaction
arising due to the utilization of smartphones in social situations. Studying 184 people in Italy
from different settings, the researchers placed a special focus on both known and unknown
subjects in their daily tasks. This was an experimental study. The experimental condition
required individuals to manipulate smartphones while watching the screen; on the contrary,
individuals only manipulated the device with no screen involved in the control condition. The
experiment indicated that imitation responses were seen only when the set-off gazed toward the
tool, thus supporting the goal-oriented interpretation (Maglieri et al., 2021). The vast majority of
the mimicry episodes happened in the first 30 seconds, which hints at the rapid and spontaneous
character. The results point to the fact that mimicry is the reason for the massive adoption of
smartphones, thus emphasizing their role in everyday social communication. Future studies will
additionally be required to assess the timing of mimicry and derive users’ responses to visual
media that show consumers viewing their devices. The study also raises the issue of the influence
of the COVID-19 lockdown on smartphone mimicry, and therefore, long-term studies are called
for.
