With so many individuals using the Internet today, the psychology of the individual, the family, the community, and the society has changed. Some might argue that the traditional psychological theories cannot be applied and therefore psychology as an entire field needs to be revamped to incorporate the impact and the application of internet technology. As a student completing a bachelor’s degree in psychology, your future career will undoubtedly incorporate the use of the Internet in very new ways.
Identify a problem area or psychological issue that could benefit from the use of an internet intervention. Now, using what you learned from the article, propose an internet intervention using the following guidelines:
1. What problem area would the internet intervention address?
2. Provide a general description of the proposed internet intervention.
3. How would the effectiveness of the proposed intervention be tested?
4. What are any legal and ethical issues related to the proposed intervention? Include the specific APA ethical standard(s) in your response.

For this essay, imagine that you are either:

a) the manager of a company and you want to get your employees to work harder and more efficiently. For this scenario, make sure to explain what the company does and what kinds of things the employees must do; or

b) a professor at a local college, and you want to get your students to work harder. For this scenario, make sure to explain what you teach, and what kinds of things you want your students to do.

Drawing on both cognitive and behavioral psychology, create a three-part strategy to get your employees or students to work harder and/or better. In your essay, you must explain two strategies using evidence from “The Craving Brain” and “The Effort Effect.” Additionally, you should explain your strategies using specific details from your imagined work as a business manager or professor. (Please note: It is not necessary–and not advisable–to use other sources for the paper. Please use the articles we read last week.)

If you are a business manager in real life, consider option b. This assignment requires some hypothetical work and some imagination (as well as hard evidence). If it will gum up your essay to explain the clunky and complex dynamics of your day-to-day work, choose b. If the very real personalities of the people with whom you work sidetrack you from the task at hand, choose b. At the same time, if you can keep company gossip (“Sandra has no life…”) and corporate jargon (“At Company X, we believe in ECC–Excellent Customer Care…”) to a minimum, then it might be very useful to tackle a real problem (choose a).

“Evidence” refers to quotations from the texts. Please frame quotations as outlined in Week 4 (see Intro to Discussion Journal–sample sandwich paragraph analysis). Please cite evidence in MLA format (parenthetical, in-text, author/page). For this essay, imagine that you are either:
