<em>a. Do you think that your work effort is influenced by whether there is a close link between personal output and personal compensation (reward)? Explain. </em>
My work is influenced by whether there is a close link between personal output and personal compensation. At work, when I know that I am not gettign paid for a particular task, I am more likely to care little about it. The amount of care and work that I put into a task is usually dependent on the reward I will get for it.
<em>b. Suppose the grades in your class were going to be determined by a random drawing at the end of the course. How would this influence your study habits? </em>
If the grades in my class were going to be determined by a random drawing at the end of the course, it is likely I would not study as much. I would study a little, because I care about the knowledge I acquire, but my motivation would be much lower.
<em>c. How would your study habits be influenced if everyone in the class was going to be given an A grade? How about if grades were based entirely on examinations composed of the end of chapter questions in the textbook? </em>
In the same way, if I knew that everyone in the class will receive an A at the end of the year, I would study much less. If the examinations were based entirely on examinations based in the end of the chapter questions in the textbook, then I would most likely only study that section.
<em>d. Do you think the total output of a nation will be influenced by whether or not there is a close link between the productive contribution of individuals and their personal reward? Why or why not?</em>
I think the total output of a nation will be influenced by whether or not there is a close link between the productive contribution of individuals and their personal reward. This is because people do not like working for free. They also do not like it when their effort brings no reward.
The correct answer is C. It made shipping products to markets easier and prices decreased.

Answer:
b. operational definition
Explanation:
Operational definition is the expression of procedure used to define the nature of an event or situation especially used during data collection. In this question, the sentence subject used is 'the intensity of the electrical shock the students are to receive'. Which mean it is asking specifically on the subject of the intensity of the electrical shock.
Option A, hypothetical construct is not it since hypothetical construct is a variable which could be explained but hardly observed. In this case, hypothetical construct is more suitable to the degree of pain (extremely painful, mild shock and other)
Option C, mediating definition is the mediator variable between a dependent and an independent variables; in this case is not applicable
While Option D, conceptual definition give the definition of a certain concept. For example the definition of concept of pain.
Therefore the best answer for this is B, operational definition since it focus on how to measure the intensity of the electrical shock
