For this discussion forum, refer to the Excel file,  Discussion 2-1 Data Set, that contains 10 data points for Systolic and 10 data points for Diastolic blood pressure.

Identify the worksheet (tab) that matches the first letter of your LAST name (i.e., if your last name were Fudd,” you would use the data from the “F” tab).

Using the data from your worksheet identified in Step 1, calculate the systolic mean, median, mode, and midrange. Show in your response how you calculated each of these.

Using the data from your worksheet identified in Step 1, calculate the diastolic mean, median, mode, and midrange. Show in your response how you calculated each of these.

Legal Considerations in I/O Psychology

 

In 2017, a pregnant Walmart employee who worked as a packer at a distribution center was struggling with morning sickness and asked for a break from some of her duties. Her supervisor responded that she would need a doctor’s note. Consequently, the woman obtained a note from her doctor that said she was to avoid heavy lifting and gave it to her supervisor. In turn, her supervisor referred her to Human Resources. A Human Resources employee informed her that she could not return to work until after she gave birth because she was a “liability,” and that she would have to apply for unpaid leave to keep her job. Did Walmart discriminate against this employee?

In the United States, there are many anti-discrimination laws; yet, as the Walmart example shows, discrimination continues to be a problem in the workplace. For this Assignment, you will examine the role of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) in enforcing anti-discrimination laws. You will also consider what steps you would take to ensure equity in the workplace as an I/O psychology practitioner.

To Prepare:
  • Read Chapter 3 in the Aamodt text, Industrial/Organizational Psychology: An Applied Approach, and “Title VII” of The Civil Rights Act of 1964.
  • Identify unlawful employment practices and anti-discrimination laws.
  • Consider the role of the EEOC in addressing unlawful employment practices.
  • Think about the best practices you would apply as an I/O psychology practitioner to prevent discrimination and ensure equity in the workplace.

By Day 7 of Week 10

Submit a 3–4-page paper that addresses the following questions. Your paper should follow APA style, be double-spaced with one-inch margins, and include a title page and reference list.

  • Describe the role of the EEOC in the practice of I/O psychology and three different laws that are enforced by the EEOC.
  • Describe two different types of discrimination prohibited by the laws enforced by EEOC and at least three best practices you would suggest for ensuring equity in the workplace.
  • Suppose you find yourself in an elevator with the CEO of a Fortune 500 company that you admire greatly. You strike up a casual conversation that suddenly turns to the topic of discrimination in the workplace, and you quickly realize that the CEO has no understanding of I/O psychology or I/O psychologists’ roles in addressing these concerns. One day you hope to begin your I/O career at this company or one similar to it. Therefore, you decide to give a quick elevator speech on I/O psychology and its role in best practices to address discrimination and inequity in the workplace. What would you say?

question-

Read the following hypothetical. Using your issue-spotting skills, analyze the potential exposure to liability of the Accounting Firm based on the actions of the Partnership Review Committee.

Anne is an accountant at a large Accounting Firm. She applied for Partner, but was denied. In their report, the all-male Partnership Review Committee stated that Anne would have a better chance at making Partner if she wore makeup, jewelry, and acted more femininely. Over the past 10 years with the Firm, Anne has received excellent performance evaluations and recently secured a $10M client for the Firm.

Instructions: Please write in essay format.  Include the guidance below in your analysis:

a) Set forth the federal statute and/or theories of law that are applicable.

b) Identify the legal issue(s) that exist and claims that may be brought based on the facts of the case.

c) Apply the facts of the case to the elements of the law/theories of law.

d) Cite a case in the text which is on point with the scenario, or compare and contrast with a case in the text.

e) Provide an action item agenda of specific objectives you would recommend implementing in order to prevent future exposure to liability. Be specific (e.g., if training is a recommendation, describe the type of training in detail).

Students response

 When presented with the information regarding Anne and how she was treated by the male partners brings up a couple red flags on gender discrimination and gender stereotyping. “Title VII and state fair-employment-practice laws regarding gender cover the full scope of the employment relationship. Unless it is a BFOQ, gender may not be the basis of any decision related to employment” (Bennett-Alexander, 2019). Title VII is very clear that employee hiring, firing and promotion can have nothing to do with gender. When Anne was given her reasoning for not being moved to partner their reasons all had to do with not being female enough which has nothing do do with her job productivity. There is even mention of a $10M client she brought to the firm which shows just how successful she is. These gender based requirements from the partners are undoubtedly coming from ingrained gender stereotypes. ” Workplace decisions based on stereotypes are prohibited by Title VII” (Bennett-Alexander, 2019). The stereotypes clearly listed by the male partners; wearing makeup, jewelry and acting more femininely are all examples of how people feel women should act but again, have little to do with their job performance. There is a case that almost exactly parallels the example provided. The case of Price Waterhouse v. Hopkins 490 U.S. 228 (1989) examines the allegations that gender stereotyping was the reason that a woman was not promoted to partner even though she displayed a high work ethic and was qualified for the promotion. Ann Hopkins was told she was too aggressive and unduly harsh, both traits many male law professional posses. In both of these cases it seems to be that either the male partners have no regard or respect for a women who is at an equal level of competence as them or that they honestly believe it is acceptable to stereotype people this way. Either way there must be reform in the workplace. I would suggest company wide training focusing on gender discrimination, gender stereotyping and the legality of both in regards to Title VII. After the training there will be no excuse for not knowing that you must treat every member of the firm the same in regard to gender for hiring, firing, training and promoting.

CASE STUDY

Tracey, age 56, was laid off from her bank job 6 months ago; she has been applying for various positions with very little response and only one interview, and her state unemployment insurance has just ended. As a single mother, she was unable to save much for her retirement. She now fears she will run through her small retirement savings to pay the mortgage on her condo and other bills. She has also been without health insurance since losing her job because she couldn’t afford COBRA payments or the insurance available through the ACA. Tracey is considering selling her condo and moving in with one of her siblings while she continues to look for work. She’s hoping she can eventually find a job with health insurance benefits that will last until she qualifies for Medicare.

1.What do you think are some reasons that Tracey’s economic situation is so unstable?

2.The ADEA, or Age Discrimination in Employment Act, made it illegal to discriminate against older workers because of their age, but the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission report on the state of age discrimination stated that “age discrimination remains a significant and costly problem for workers, their families, and our economy.” How do employers get away with discrimination against older workers in spite of the ADEA?

3.What policy changes would you propose that could help someone in Tracey’s situation obtain healthcare coverage?

4.What prejudices do you think you hold against older people in the workforce? Why?
