Regarding Color Blindness powerpoint and mini-group-assignment. A sample was not given - we were just given statements [1)White women buy Asian Pearl Cream so that their skin will be as smooth and wrinkle free as Asian Women's skin.
2)Asian women envy white women because they never look their age.
3)Black women are known for having flawless skin.
Your Assignment: Work with your group and identify two logical reasons for this behavior based on two different biological, psychological, psychosocial, or biopsychosocial theories that explain this phenomenon. ]
How old were the people who made these statements?
· symbolic interactionism & Mead
· Looking Glass Theory - Cooley
· Kohlberg's 3 levels of Moral Development: Talks about conforming - are the people who made these statements minorities in areas dominated by the admired skintone? Advertising of airbrushed perfection prominent? Social pressure, availability of products - all could play a part in developing and reinforcing the feeling of being "other" or "inferior" for these women (which also gets into systems theory).
· Parts theory?
· Cognitive Behavioral Theory - thoughts determine actions. So, what actions have led them to believe their skin type isn't as desirable as others? Do their thoughts lead to actions that perpetuate this?
· These statements could be from 3 women who could even be best friends, standing around a mirror in the bathroom bitching about their flaws and trying to compliment one another.
· Social Learning Thoery - How were these people socialized into believing what they were saying? And if they didn't believe it, how were they socialized to even Think the way they do?
Parts Theory - AKA Systems Theory - we're only looking at one part of the system here, so we really can't tell what else is going on. Cant explain their statement by their statement alone.

Democrats are typically women and minorities.

Convo:
Dr. Cherry: "Who wants to start with their groups [presentations]?"
Groups: Silence
Dr. Cherry: "Op - She looked." (as a chick from a group made eye contact with him.)

· Clear link between hypothesis and theory
· Show clear, logical…
· Know the year any time we mention a name. Note the year any time we write down the name.
· What's the mechanism within the study? How do we operationalize the studied?
· Origin of "Skin as fair as a milkmaid…" - Cowpox on the hands of milkmaids from the cows, so they never got Smallpox.
· Larger women were considered healthy, you can still eat a lot and not gain weight if you're ill. No TB = Healthy.
· Yeung's Collective….
· Yeung is Deductive where Freud is Inductive. (Freud only had 7 cases in his entire career. He believed you could take just 1 dream and analyze the person.)

5 extra points to the first 3 people that email him with the explanation of the term "Adult Learning."
· A theory has to be able to explain back and forth or it might be simply a "situational" occurrence (only work occassionally or only in certain circumstances, so it wouldn't be right).
· We need to know the differences between similar theories.
· Alfred Adler is mentioned.
· Theoriests theories explain theorists own behavior (A explains A's author's behavior)
· Androcentric or Patriarchal society… (see separate pages that should be attached to these lecture notes).
· "Survival of the Fittest." Used BEFORE Darwin… Darwin Never Used the Term. Sullivan used it (wrote tract in Fords newsletter about Jews & stuff). Survival of the fittest has nothing to do with genetics and stuff. I can't find this stuff on the web yet - so go back and look for it.
· What theory explains…. We'll have to know which theory would best explain things. What components are there? Turn components into variables, operationalize it (find measures to test variables), etc.
· Paradigm is one of the limitations.
· Theory - What we're using parts of to study a phenomenon, we do more stuff to it, blahblahblah.
· We NEVER Validate Hypothesis - but we can say we have Support for it.
· Einstein came up with all his ideas in 2 years ("when he was doing so much damn Coke").
· Science is always an accumulation of everything we know.
· Wallace had the same idea as Darwin. Wallace was the one who found the beginning of the Nile.
· Carol Myers was mentioned…
· Lens Concept (not melting pot) I'm not finding information on this subject.
· Not one theory is going to explain our question, but we need to come up with a more overarching theory.
· Formula for Sampling Error…
· Use this formula to determine how accurate a survey is going to be. Within +/- 3%, w/in +/- 15%… Also use it to figure out how many people we'd need to interview in order to get that close, and how much it'd cost. Always solve the formula from the inside out.
· Always solve formula from the inside out.
PAPER
· First, find the theory in the article, and explain the theory so we can understand it.
· We're not turning this in through email, we're turning it in through the Digital Dropbox through Blackboard.
· Make sure paper has a theory!
· Research Designs used (Burdge Russel? - greatest philosopher). If we really understand something we can teach it.
· Use Headings
· He'll put a question on the discussion board and we'll need to make an entry.
· Go over paper and see what comments he made.
· If the article doesn't have a little p it's not a good paper.
HOMEWORK
· Homework pg.4 p. 153-155
Other Notes
· What's Log Linear? Read in book (his book)
· Get to a discription of chi square then go read it and explain it. That's what he means by "struggle with the statistics."
· Find the theoretical base - even if it's not clear it's probably not going to be clear which theory they're using. "Everyone they're writing for knows the theory."
COMPS
· We can as the chair of the topic question a question about the question. Lol. Example: HBSE question - we can ask the chair of the HBSE for clarification and they'll get us onto the right track.
