October 5th, 2020 APA (edition "APA 7"), Psychology and Education Comments Off on Reality Vs Perceptions

Reality Vs Perceptions

Our text suggests that objective reality is often significantly different from our perceived reality and is an important variable to consider when making decisions within an organization. In addition, attribution theory describes how people create the explanations for their own and others actions, as well as for the outcomes of applied behaviors. Based on these two premises, formulate an analysis about how the development of our realities explain human behaviors within organizations and industry that can essentially affect rational decision making.

Your paper should include the following:

Summarize the differences between perceived and objective realities and how our perceptions negotiate what we believe to be true.
Discuss how the following affect ones perception of reality and rational decision making.
Attribution theory
Bias
Bounded rationality
Cognitive biases
Conjunction fallacy
Primacy and recency effects
Selective perceptions
Contrast effect, and
Stereotyping
Consider using headings in your paper to organize these elements.
Explain why, as a leader or manager of an organization, one should be aware of the bias that our perceptions may have on day to day rationale decision making.
Identify strategies to increase awareness of potential effectors of our ability to make rational decisions based on our developed realities.

Any topic (writer’s choice)

Every manager has different skills, and specialties of expertise.  It is quite possible that you could be in a situation where you see something that someone else does not see, especially if they are working under you with less education or experience than you.  If a loan officer working under you recommends a loan to a customer, describe (A) when you would authorize that loan, and (B) when you would deny the loan in each of the following cases and give your rationale.

You disagree with your subordinate because you do not think restaurants are good investments in general, so you have a bad feeling about this customer’s ability to repay the loan based on your experience with the market rather than any financial facts.
You disagree with your subordinate because you think medical operations are high risk for legal problems, so you have a bad feeling about this customer’s ability to repay the loan based on your experience with the law rather than any financial facts.
You disagree with your subordinate because you think members of their family are business failures, so you have a bad feeling about this customer’s ability to repay the loan based on your experience with social history rather than any financial facts.
You disagree with your subordinate because you just have a bad feeling about this customer’s ability to repay the loan based on your gut instinct rather than any financial facts.

Ypu must have 5 cited references.
