Introduction

The association between the environment and economic progress is a concept that was first discussed during the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment which was held in Stockholm in 1972.

The Brundtland report was the first reference to sustainable development. The report was published in 1987 by the World Commission on Environment and Development.
According to the Brundtland report, sustainable development refers to “development that meets the needs of ...

In-group Bias

In-group Bias

Description of the phenomenon

The phenomenon of in-group bias is retrieved mostly from the real world experiences that indicate favoritism and subjective positive perceptions for the members of the group with which individuals identify and opposition, dislike and subjective negative perceptions for the members of other groups (Wilcox, 2011; Jørgensen, Bäckström & Björklund, 2012).
Wilcox (2011) observes that in-group bias occurs not as a result of a social historical precedence, but mostly as a result of shared prejudices that shape people’s minds, but not their guts. Therefore, the in-group bias appears as an individual manifestation of a collective thinking, developed ...

The immigration policies today are best described by the elite model theory. This position is premised on the fact that the immigration laws that are currently being used in the United States of America do not necessarily reflect the common man’s desires. On the converse, the policies are a reflection of what is favored and desired by powerful interest groups, lobbyists and the political elite. The overriding objective in the policies has not been so much on what the ordinary citizen desires of the nation. Rather, the approach has been predicated and motivated by the need to address the ...

Organizational Culture

Organizational culture is a critical aspect that influences the behavior and conduct of individuals within a group including other variables related to team members such as performance, commitment to tasks, implementing strategies, and group cohesion among others. Virtually, all human resource management aspects revolve around organizational culture. Understanding organizational culture within our team calls for the need to examine the factors that influenced our ideologies, assumptions, attitudes, and norms (Oertig, & Buergi, 2006, p. 23). Many of these factors were influenced by our different nationalities, which happened to subscribe to different beliefs and values. While organizational culture is known to inspire ...

Abstract

The Stroop effect involves demonstrating a longer reaction time inherent in performing a more complicated task. The effects of conflict processing on reaction time is thought to be significant; the higher the level of conflict processing, the longer it takes for someone to react to that conflict. The current study measures response times based on four different exercises involving the reading of numbers and row length. The third exercise includes two levels of complexity (counting and number identification), as opposed to a single level of complexity with the remaining exercises. Eight pairs of subjects are tested for reaction time based on these ...

Abstract

The current study measures response times based on four different exercises involving the reading of numbers and row length. The Stroop effect is measured using mean reaction times to each sheet, and the t-tests for each comparison are calculated. According to the results, response time measurably decreases when order and number are shuffled.

Introduction

Cognitive conflict processing involves the selection of one stimulus among competing stimuli, requiring the ability to selectively attend to particular features in an environment. The Stroop effect is an experiment that is intended to determine one's ability to ignore conflicting stimuli while focusing on one single ...
