Discusses four types of perceptual distortions: stereotyping, halo effects, selective perception, and projection. Define each of these types of perceptual distortions and provide a full example of each perceptual distortion.
For each discussion, you are required to write an initial post (300 words) and one secondary post (200 words). The discussion forums will be worth 40 points apiece—25 points for the initial post and 15 points for the secondary post. For your initial and secondary posts, you must have two academic peer-reviewed articles for references. You must get them from the library. There are directions at the top of our Moodle page showing how to utilize the library

Types of perceptual distortions:
Perception is the way toward incorporating their condition. In layman’s words, it is a half-production procedure to understand their environment to react legitimately. The current condition of the perceptual beneficiary depends on the brain, character and appreciation, where there is dependably a blunder in the depiction and ensuing data.
Stereotyping:
Stereotyping is specific gathering or class (social, ethnic, religious, or sexual introductions) just based on enrollment of the property, for example, he is an Italian, so he knows a ton about Rome. The most widely recognized, the adjustment in the obstruction
Halo effect:
Halo effect is between the two, a steady paying little respect to the general population is a component of the innovation depends on the numerous highlights Bust constructive effect on the great quality, have an antagonistic effect of terrible element in the purposes behind the other party less experienced individual, a notable attributes of the solid good ramifications For example, he is chuckling, so he should come clean.
Selective Perception:
Selective perception is the alternative Awareness Support and trust in the data that affirms the conviction that the pre-channel that depicts the particular data.
Projection:
Projection that they have the properties themselves or hand over to others emotions. For example, I have a few things that I experience the ill effects of it will put off, to defer our gathering can state an example he says.
(LAB 1) Output numbers in reverse
Write a program that reads a list of integers, and outputs those integers in reverse. The input begins with an integer indicating the number of integers that follow. For coding simplicity, follow each output integer by a space, including the last one. Assume that the list will always contain fewer than 20 integers.
Ex: If the input is:
5 2 4 6 8 10
the output is:
10 8 6 4 2
To achieve the above, first read the integers into an array. Then output the array in reverse.
(LAB 2) Middle Item
Given a sorted list of integers, output the middle integer. Assume the number of integers is always odd.
Ex: If the input is:
2 3 4 8 11 -1
(where a negative indicates the end), the output is:
4
The maximum number of inputs for any test case should not exceed 9. If exceeded, output “Too many inputs”.
Hint: First read the data into an array. Then, based on the array’s size, find the middle item.
(LAB 3) Output values below an amount
Write a program that first gets a list of integers from input. The input begins with an integer indicating the number of integers that follow. Then, get the last value from the input, which indicates a threshold. Output all integers less than or equal to that last threshold value. Assume that the list will always contain fewer than 20 integers.
Ex: If the input is:
5 50 60 140 200 75 100
the output is:
50 60 75
The 5 indicates that there are five integers in the list, namely 50, 60, 140, 200, and 75. The 100 indicates that the program should output all integers less than or equal to 100, so the program outputs 50, 60, and 75.
For coding simplicity, follow every output value by a space, including the last one.
Such functionality is common on sites like Amazon, where a user can filter results.
(LAB 4) Adjust list by normalizing
When analyzing data sets, such as data for human heights or for human weights, a common step is to adjust the data. This can be done by normalizing to values between 0 and 1, or throwing away outliers.
For this program, adjust the values by subtracting the smallest value from all the values. The input begins with an integer indicating the number of integers that follow. Assume that the list will always contain fewer than 20 integers.
Ex: If the input is:
5 30 50 10 70 65
the output is:
20 40 0 60 55
The 5 indicates that there are five values in the list, namely 30, 50, 10, 70, and 65. 10 is the smallest value in the list, so is subtracted from each value in the list.
For coding simplicity, follow every output value by a space, including the last one.
(LAB 5) Word Frequencies
Write a program that reads a list of words. Then, the program outputs those words and their frequencies. The input begins with an integer indicating the number of words that follow. Assume that the list will always contain fewer than 20 words.
Ex: If the input is:
5 hey hi Mark hi mark
the output is:
hey 1
hi 2
Mark 1
hi 2
mark 1
Hint: Use two arrays, one array for the strings and one array for the frequencies.
(LAB 6) Contains the character
Write a program that reads an integer, a list of words, and a character. The integer signifies how many words are in the list. The output of the program is every word in the list that contains the character at least once. Assume at least one word in the list will contain the given character. Assume that the list of words will always contain fewer than 20 words.
Ex: If the input is:
4 hello zoo sleep drizzle z
then the output is:
zoo
drizzle
To achieve the above, first read the list into an array. Keep in mind that the character ‘a’ is not equal to the character ‘A’.
(LAB 7) Elements in a range
Write a program that first gets a list of integers from input. The input begins with an integer indicating the number of integers that follow. Assume that the list will always contain fewer than 20 integers.
That list is followed by two more integers representing lower and upper bounds of a range. Your program should output all integers from the list that are within that range (inclusive of the bounds). For coding simplicity, follow each output integer by a space, even the last one. The output ends with a newline.
Ex: If the input is:
5 25 51 0 200 33
0 50
then the output is:
25 0 33
(the bounds are 0-50, so 51 and 200 are out of range and thus not output).
To achieve the above, first read the list of integers into an array.
(LAB 8) Two smallest numbers
Write a program that reads a list of integers, and outputs the two smallest integers in the list, in ascending order. The input begins with an integer indicating the number of integers that follow. You can assume that the list will have at least 2 integers and fewer than 20 integers.
Ex: If the input is:
5 10 5 3 21 2
the output is:
2 3
To achieve the above, first read the integers into an array.
Hint: Make sure to initialize the second smallest and smallest integers properly.

matrix
Matrix,
This assignment is the first step in preparing the background section of the innovation project proposal. Develop a search strategy that will find key articles summarizing what is known about the problem and what solutions have been tried in the past. Search broadly for relevant articles, looking in nursing, medical, technology, communication, and behavioral science and social science databases.
Prepare a matrix of five articles which demonstrate literature appropriate to the background section of the proposal. This assignment is not a synthesis of all read materials, but is a matrix of important articles that demonstrate thinking broadly and encompasses the main points of paper. A separate paper, outlining the assignment process, should be typed in APA format including the tone and use of language discussed in the APA manual. It should include separate subsectionsfor the description of search criteria used, keywords selected for the search and why chosen, database(s) selected to conduct the search and why chosen, the matrix of 5 articles broken down. The matrix should be attached in the body of the paper, after the reference page and not as a separate submission. It should conclude with a summary discussing why these articles where chosen.
In the attachment below, there is sample matrix table & blank , look at sample and use the blank one.
Topic : use of Reset o mobile in the prevalence of depression among adolescents in the American society

Water Resource Economics
Spring 2024
25 points
(2-3 typed pages including tables/figures)
A vigorous debate rages over which of two potential urban water supply programs is an economically better way to supply safe affordable drinking water to residents of a large poor city. The high points of each program are:
Your task is to compare Total Annual Economic Benefits (TAEB = CS + TR – TC) of each program by ranking the economic performance of each from the view of the city’s water buyers/suppliers. You can use these abbreviations:
CS = consumer surplus = willingness to pay minus actual payments calculated for each program
TR = total revenue = price x quantity calculated for each program
TC = total cost = average cost x quantity calculated for each program
I will show you more about these terms in our class slides this week, letting you see a down-sloping water demand function for which the maximum price of water (y intercept) is $1650 per ac‐ft.
Q 1 (15 points) Calculate the Total Annual Economic Benefits (TAEB) to the city’s water stakeholders for each program and show calculations.
Q 2 (10 points). You have been hired as an expert consultant, and will snag a juicy consulting fee if you recommend the right choice. Describe your recommended choice and explain why you would make it.
Winston is a three-year-old oftentimes referred to as “Sir”. He lives with his parents who are of Native American and African American descent. He is an only child in the household. The family dynamics are richly based in culture consistent to morals and being authentic. Winston’s obsession with dinosaurs has evolved over the past two years. He is very strong in learning about dinosaurs and incorporating “his favorite” T-Rex in his learning and social environment. He loves to share his adventures with family and friends through literacy and play. Another strong emphasis Winston has is science, with particular emphasis on planets and outer space. His mother is a strong advocate for literacy by which books are read to him daily. Winston has evolved in his reading by identifying objects, some words, and talking about the images he sees in the books. The concern his parents have is finding images in books that look like him. Winston’s parents are concerned that he does not speak as clearly about other concepts outside of dinosaurs and nature. He is ready to learn new concepts introduced to him formally or informally. He is well versed in the alphabets, numbers to twenty, colors, shapes, opposites and some aspects of the earth such as differences in night and day, cold and hot. What might be evidence-based strategies for expanding Winston’s interests? How would you support Winston’s language and literacy using materials that are both mirrors (reflect who he is) and windows (offer insights to other perspectives, topics, and vocabulary)? How would you partner with Winston’s family to support his language and literacy development? Discuss with peers.
