Answer: test had less than perfect reliability

Explanation: The test score used by the college to predict how a student will perform could be said to have less than perfect reliability. This proved to be the case due to the students actual performance when later admitted based on intervention. It shows that the test score can not consistently serve as proof that only students who have above the cut off mark will be good performers in the college. Therefore, it could be concluded that the test score had less than perfect reliability based on the the eventual performance of the student.

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

d.) Frank should not take the medicine because stealing cannot hold up as universal law, regardless of the potentially good consequences.

Explanation:

Universal laws are widely regarded as a way people conduct themselves. They are regarded as universal in their philosophical basis, applicability, acceptability, and translation.

For example fairness in dealings is a universally accepted concept.

In the given scenario however stealing is not a universal law and cannot be justified under any circumstance.

Although Frank's daughter Jenna is sick and he cannot afford the medicine.

He should not take from open drawer stuffed with vials full of the medicine Jenna needs because it is ethically wrong

Gamiel and Aliyah go out to eat and Gamiel does not leave a tip for the waiter. If Aliyah explains his behavior by saying that h

Answer:

The answer is the attribution dispositional and situational

Explanation:

The attributions refer to the judgments that people make on behavior, and this depends on how people perceive the situation.

<em>The attributions are divided into two: </em>

  • Dispositional Attribution
  • Situational Attribution

It is known as dispositional attribution when we explain the behavior of people according to their personality characteristics, we make a judgment for the information that we know about them, obtaining an internal attribution about the behavior of the person in the situation.

For example in the case of Gamiel, he did not leave a tip for the waiter and Aliyah attributes this behavior based on the information he knows about Gamiel, who possibly only tips expensive places, Aliyah justifies the action through dispositional attribution.

The opposite of the internal attributions are the situational attributions, these justify the behavior of the people to external events that cannot be controlled but that cause an effect on the behavior of the person. For example, Gamiel and Aliyah had the experience of having a horrible service by the waiter, for which Gamiel does not leave a tip, Aliyah justifies this action to the lousy service received, here she is using situational attribution.

<em>I hope this information can help you.</em>

Rzqust [24]
I think this is called culture shock. This gesture of touching the head of the Ywadees is something new to the other cultures. People outside their culture believes that this is wrong but for the Ywadees, this is their belief and way of life. For a sociologist, they believe that there is no right or wrong in culture. People should respect other cultures.
