Integrating psychology into career and educational decisions

 

 

 

Develop a Jeopardy game presentation that integrates the breadth and depth of core psychology knowledge.

 

Search the Internet for a Microsoft® PowerPoint® jeopardy game template.

 

Include the following topics in your game:

 

 

 

 

 

·       Integrating psychology into career and educational decisions

 

 

There should be five questions per topic.

I recommend either putting the question on the slide and the answer in the presenter notes, or alternatively, putting the question and answers on separate slides.  There are also some newer templates that enable you to read the answer on the same slide as the question after you click on the slide.  References are not required for the game.

Perception Of Time

/in /by

**PSYCHOLOGY WRITERS ONLY**

 

The perception of time varies among cultures. Some cultures operate on actual clock time while others areevent-centered. Event-centered time is less structured than clock time and focuses only on current events and circumstances. For example, in Africa, time is flexible, and it is based on events in the past, present, and the future. Time is perceived through the life of the individual and the tribe. (Shiraev & Levy, 2010) How might your culture’s perception of time impact your life?

The cultural influence on time is not limited to differences in minutes and seconds. This perception might also affect behavior and attitudes if a culture is short-, middle-, or long-time oriented. Studies suggest there is a correlation between time and lifestyle, such as the pace of life, health, and happiness.

Consider the importance of the scholar-practitioner understanding a client or research populations’ perception of time to in terms of appointments, business organization, and risky health behaviors.

For this Discussion, consider your own ideas about time and how culture might influence the perception of time. Use your  culture of interest and select another culture with a differing time orientation.

With these thoughts in mind:

 

WRITE an explanation of how culture might influence the perception of time. Provide an example from two cultures and explain how each culture differs in its members’ perception of time.
