What are the key things to consider when rating employee behavior so as to avoid (or reduce) bias? Sources are provided

Hello this is a research proposal. My two questions I hope to address are:
1. Does the quality/quantity of reproductive/family counseling contribute to the level of childbirth anxiety in former cancer patients?
2. Should the responsibility of counseling fall on oncologist, general practitioners or the patient?
This will begin with a survey of women of child barring age 18-50. The volunteers will be taken from Cancer survivor support groups.
They will take a survey to assess their current level of anxiety towards childbirth and answer questions about their feelings on the quailty of reproductive counseling they received. The counseling can be before or after receiving cancer treatment.
Survey questions will include:
What type of cancer they were diagnosed with?
Will they will be first time parents?
Did they receive any reproductive counseling?
At what point in the cancer treatment did they receive any reproductive counseling?
Where/who they received reproductive counseling from?
How long was the counseling (minutes, hours, days).
Do they feel the counseling/lack of counseling contributes to their anxiety about childbirth?
I’ve uploaded the specific guidelines for the proposal and the rubrics. There needs to be 6 academic sources. I have included 1 pdf and 1 link to two journals I’d like included in the proposal.
Please read all the guidelines and message me if there’s anything unclear. Thank you.
This is the link to one of the journals to reference.https://doaj.org/article/4e2b82fadb914536a9911d92daba50a2

Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 600–800 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.
Enhancing Team and Work Group Collaboration
Working together in groups requires cooperating and collaborating with others.
Explain the types of teams that an organization may use to perform cooperative work.
Discuss the process that can change a group of individual performers into a team.  

Organizational leaders must understand how to lead employees effectively. Research the major leadership theories (e.g., Situational Leadership Theory (SLT), Charisma Leadership Theory, Transactional/Transformational Leadership Theory, Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) Theory, and so on). Select 3 leadership theories to examine, analyze, and discuss.
For each of the 3 leadership theories, concentrate on the following:
Briefly describe each theory (history, foundation, model, and application).
Discuss the strength and weakness of each theory.
Explain how organizations can create effective leaders.
Explain options and strategies that an organization can utilize to apply this theory to leadership.
Select 1 theory to implement.
Develop a specific method for implementation explaining your rationale for the selection of this theory and your proposed implementation design. 
Please submit your assignment.

Educating Others Project 
YouTube channel:
5MIweekly
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQFQ0vPPNPS-LYhlbKOzpFw 
FOLLOWING your own explorations of 5MIweekly, you’ll recruit others to be educated.
Of all the things we can know, knowing about psychology, in general, and the psychology of human sexuality, in-particular, has the greatest positive impact on being human. It is sad only a few of us (less than 6% of the World’s population) have the privilege of learning about the psychology of sexuality within a college classroom.  5MIweekly is an opportunity for the “more than 94% of the population” to learn about the science and psychology of sexuality.
To complete this project, you’ll turn in a summary paper or video.
Your summary paper or video should include two things:  
1) Share your ideas about why YOU think being psychologically and sexually educated is important;
2) Interviews of the people you recruited.  Your interviews, at a minimum, will ask, “What videos did you watch on 5MIweekly?”  “What made you choose these videos to watch?”  “What’s the most important thing you learned from 5MIweekly?” and “Now that you’ve learned this–what are you going to do with this information?” 
At least one, of a minimum of three videos your recruits watched, should come from this playlist:  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrr7zGRzgYQ_jm19XXHkL-e1X-E0zbiMY (Links to an external site.)
Summary papers/videos based-upon your experiences with 5-6 recruits may earn a maximum of 45 points; 
Summary papers/videos based-upon your experiences with 7-8 recruits may earn a maximum of 55 points; 
Summary papers/videos based-upon your experiences with 9 or more recruits, may earn extra credit points (beyond the 55 points of which the project is worth).
If you are writing a summary paper, then be sure to separate your paper into individual paragraphs.  One STRICT format item is required for summary papers.  I want you to write an American Psychological Association Publication Manual, 7th edition formatted title page for the summary paper.

I will upload a doc with all the information needed i need 3 sources and sternberg is the orignal source that will be also use therefore the paper should have a total of 4 sources. nplease contact me if you have any questions. 

This is just the first part of the paper. Once this is reviewed and accepted, we need to complete the second half.

This is a theoretical essay. The purpose of this essay is that you learn to identify the main principals of a theory and use them to critically evaluate how different theories would approach the same phenomena, in this case, a specific emotion. The theoretical perspectives that you will combine in your essay will be covered in the lectures, e.g. biological approaches, sociological approaches, emotion talk, group psychology, and affect studies. You will use these theoretical perspectives to analyse your chosen emotion from at least two different perspectives
You are free to organize your essay in any way you want, just make sure the following three elements are explicitly present somewhere in your essay:
1. Introduce your emotion. Offer a minimum literature review informing from what kind of perspectives your emotion has been studied and what have other researchers found about it. You can also discuss what are the limitations on the study of such an emotion? What would psychology gain from a deeper, better, or different understanding of this emotion?
2. Introduce your theories. Explain what the main theoretical principles of each of the theories you will use in your essay. Offer notes on the philosophical bases of the theories and their empirical approach.
3. Analyse your emotion using at least two theoretical perspectives. Imagine how the principles of each theory could be used to study your chosen emotion and reflect on what are their resources and limitations on exploring such an emotion. Offer examples, even if speculative, on how each theory would address your emotions. What kind of questions they would ask?, what procedures will they implement? To be clear, for example, if your emotion is love, you could for example explain how biological approaches to emotion would study love, and then how affect theory would study love etc. You will compare, contrast, analyse, discuss the differences, advantages, disadvantages,

Read the following quote
“The frontal lobe contains the motor cortex and also houses the prefrontal cortex. This area is akin to a conductor or executive of the brain – organizing, controlling, and managing behaviour, and making high-level decisions about socially appropriate behaviour…” (Zillmer, Spiers, & Culbertson, 2008, p. 160).
In this assignment, you will explore the role of the frontal lobe in executive functioning. The frontal lobes are amongst the last to develop in children. 
Explain the development of executive functioning in children
present the consequences of injury to the frontal lobes during development
Explain what plasticity is
explain whether plasticity can or cannot support full recovery of function in children and adults following traumatic brain injury.
With your selected topic, write an essay that addresses the two parts that follow:
Part 1: describe the role of the frontal lobe in executive functioning.
Use relevant theories to explain how the frontal lobe is involved in controlling behaviour, decision-making, and other cognitive processes
Part 2: Apply the theory discussed in Part 1. You should explain the consequences of frontal lobe injury during development and present arguments using empirical evidence for and against the idea that plasticity can support full recovery of function.
