Dr. Bloedorn is a health psychologist who researches nutrition. She is curious as to whether a new drink additive will help peop

le consume fewer calories during a meal. The drink additive is a white, odorless, tasteless powder that a person can add to any drink. She plans to collect a random sample of 50 overweight students on campus and measure the calories they eat during lunch, using a calorimeter. She plans to give this additive to the same participants to use at lunch a few days later and measure how many calories they eat (again, using the calorimeter).
The addition of a group that does not use the drink additive but adds a similar-looking substance that they think is the additive would help Dr. Bloedorn address which of the following threats to internal validity?
a. Testing threat
b. Observer bias
c. Instrumentation
d. Placebo effects

Answer:

Vicarious (experiences).

Explanation:

This type of experience refers to seeing another person do or repeat a behaviour, like in the example. This, if the person that looked at the behaviour has features in common (in the example both of them are teachers) will boost self-efficacy and confidence to repeat the behaviour. As in the example: teacher A does X. Teacher B sees it, and thinks he can as well. As both of them are teachers, teachers B relies on this vicarious experience to try and do the same as teacher A.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

According to a study by Professor Phil Podsakoff and his colleagues at Indiana University, positive correlations exist between transformational leadership behaviors and trust, performance, and satisfaction.

When using transformational leadership, leaders in an organization encourage and inspire people to step up and create new things that help the organization. It is a style of leadership where the leader is the first to set the example and share the culture and traditions of the organization for the whole employees to live by them.

This kind of leadership, as Professor Phil Podsakoff has studied, generates trust, performance, and satisfaction in people.
