Discussion Board
You will be required to participate in the eight discussion prompts posted on the Canvas Discussion Board throughout the course of the semester. These will relate to assigned course materials. Your responses should incorporate course content assigned during that week and should be approximately 250 words (total, for both prompts).
Please select and reply to two of the prompts below
1. Given the widely different standards of attractiveness around the world, one cannot say that universal standards of attractiveness exist. True or false, and why?
2. Miranda is trying to examine what attributes are perceived to be attractive by different cultures around the world. She has a list of four attributes: having facial symmetry, having a thin body, having blemish-free skin, and having a face with extreme facial features. She travels around the world to ask people from different cultures whether they think each attribute is attractive. Based on empirical evidence about culture-perceived attractiveness, draw a graph that shows a pattern of results that portrays the proportion of cultures that would find each attribute attractive.
3. Given what is discussed in the textbook, draw a line graph to show what the relationship would look like for the following pairs of variables: 1) relational mobility and independent/interdependent self-construal; and 2) relational mobility and residential mobility.
4. Differentiate between how someone with high relational mobility views his or her social relationships versus someone with low relational mobility.
5. Based on the textbook, draw a line graph to show the relationship between residential mobility and the likelihood that relationships within the culture are characterized by market pricing.
