Part 1 150 words:

In the lecture, we focused on developing the most powerful and effective presentation. It is important to bring all of the skills learned throughout the course to prepare a verbally powerful presentation that uses non-verbal’s to support the presentation and build the connection with the audience. Watch the following Tedx Talks “You Are Contagious” by Vanessa Van Edwards. As you listen, practice the skills of a good listener, and interact with what Van Edwards asks of you. When she encourages you to try what she is describing, do so:
After listening to the 18 minute, 16-second speech, in your initial post, address the following:
Discuss how the interactive piece (assessing how you felt about her hidden hands, facial feedback hypothesis) helped you as a listener engage in what she was saying.
Consider Van Edwards’ research on the use of hand movements and facial expressions, and her carefully planned use of hand movements and facial expressions. Give examples of how you can apply these techniques as you prepare for your speech.
Part 2 150 words:
Utilize the Bryant and Stratton College Library Page to find a scholarly research article the utilizes a Pearson Correlation Analysis. You are welcome to search for an article related to your Portfolio Project and utilize this in the literature review section of your project.
Which research article did you choose? Give the article reference.
Give a brief general summary of the research article objectives.
What variables did the researchers test in the correlation analysis?
Give a brief summary of the major findings of the correlation analysis.
Do you think the study could have been improved? Are there additional variables that may be related to the topic that were not included?
Part 3 150 words:
Your initial post, will consist of three parts:
Describe real-world situation when you thought about the value of a measurement and stated a conclusion about the likelihood that it is true
Clearly state your null and alternative hypotheses
Identify your example as a one-tailed or two-tailed test
Instructor’s Example:
1) I am sure that the average time it takes me to get ready each morning is 30 minutes.
2) H 0 : µ = 30 H 1 : µ = 30 3) This is a one tailed test since I am testing for the possibility of the relationship in only one direction.
Ideas for classmate response posts:
Identify the Type I and Type II errors for a classmate’s hypothesis test scenario.
Explain how the null and alternative hypotheses would change if a classmate ran a two-tailed test instead of a one-tailed test or vice versa.
Part 4 150 words In the lecture, you learned about several theories that help to explain what motivates people at work. Many of these theories can also be applied to individuals’ personal lives. For instance, you learned about cognitive dissonance theory which contends that when people’s thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and/or behaviors conflict or are incongruous in some way, they are motivated to do something to reduce the resulting discomfort. They might change their thoughts, change their behavior, justify their behavior, add a new thought, etc. Now, let’s apply this concept to your personal or professional life.
In your initial post, please address the following:
Summarize a situation where your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and/or attitudes were inconsistent with one another.
Explain the emotions that this situation produced within you.
Detail how you reduced the dissonance you experienced as a result of your conflicting thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and/or behaviors.
Make sure it is clear whether you changed your thinking, changed your behavior, justified your behavior, added a new thought, etc.
