Social Media is everywhere. Do you think it is proper, fair, or correct for organizations and institutions to spy on future prospective employees on social media? Not too long ago, an employee lost a hugely successful job because her employer viewed her FaceBook page and was dissatisfied with her unwanted behavior. It was not up to the elite corporate behavior.

The PowerPoint presentation should include the definition of the construct that you intend to make a scale on, the existing tools measuring it, and other related studies. Also include your justification and rationale for your construction. More importantly, discuss how you will construct the items and the item response scales, how you will analyze the items’ reliabilities, and establish the scale’s validity.
Incorporate appropriate animations, transitions, and graphics as well as speaker notes for each slide. The speaker notes may be comprised of brief paragraphs or bulleted lists.
Support your presentation with at least five scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources may be included.

Overview
As a future ABA professional, understanding why the field of behavior analysis differs from other psychology fields is important. Behavior analysts use objective and behavioristic statements to describe phenomena they observe. At this point in your studies, it is important to start considering the impact of mentalistic statements in your vocabulary to help you to begin thinking like a behavior analyst.
Instructions
Your instructor will share the Mentalism and Radical Behaviorism Template you will use to complete this assignment.
Complete the following in the provided table:
Column 1: Identify whether the statement is mentalistic or behavioristic for each scenario.
Column 2: Explain the reasoning behind your choices. Some of the scenarios are similar and you may reuse your justification in multiple scenarios—but you must restate the explanation for each scenario.
Column 3: Provide a behavioristic explanation as an alternative for each of the mentalistic explanations you identify.
Answer the following questions below the table. Each answer should be no more than two paragraphs.How does a behavior analytic approach differ from other fields of psychology?
What is the problem with a behavior analyst using a mentalistic approach?
Why is it important for a behavior analyst to use a behavioristic approach and not use a mentalistic approach in their practice?
Refer to the Mentalism and Radical Behaviorism rubric to ensure you understand the grading criteria for this assignment.Additional Requirements
Your assignment should also meet the following requirements:Written communication: Should be free of errors that detract from the overall message.
Resources: You are not expected to include references other than your textbook.
Length: 2–3 double-spaced pages, in addition to the title page and references page.

Competency 3: Distinguish between different branches in the field of behavior analysis.Identify correctly four or five of the statements as either mentalistic or behavioristic.
Explain the reasons for the behaviors chosen.
Describe alternative behavioristic explanations for the mentalistic statements.
Explain how the behavior analytic approach is different from most other psychology fields.
Explain the problem with a behavior analyst using a mentalistic approach.

In 2002, Boholst constructed a Life Position Scale for the purpose of finishing his dissertation. The construct life position was one of the variables he studied in his doctoral dissertation titled, The Influence of Life Scripts and Life Positions on Psychopathology and Positive Mental Health: A Structural Equation Modeling. He had to construct this scale because there was no available one at the time. In 2005, he and two other authors wrote another article that found modest correlations between Life Positions and Attachment Styles—validating the scale by establishing the relationship between life positions and a variable that was theoretically argued to have conceptual parallels or to be “similar” with it. In 2012, Isgor and two other authors translated the Life Position Scale into Turkish and established its reliability and validity.
This is often a realistic scenario where a tool slowly attains credibility by a gradual validation process across the years—often by different authors. For example, in 2004, Weisner wrote his doctoral dissertation in the University of North Texas on the relationship between Affective Traits and Life Positions. Hadzi-Pesic and others more recently (2014) validated the Life Position Scale and found correlations with alcohol addicts’ personality.
For this task, write a paper that addresses the following:
Discuss the different types of validity that have been employed—whether implicitly or explicitly to validate the life position scale. It is ideal therefore to read articles in chronological order starting with the A Life Position Scale, Life Positions and Attachment: A Canonical Correlation Analysis, and Life Positions Scale Language Equivalence, Reliability and Validity Analysis.
Length: 7-10 pages, not including title and reference pages
Your assignment should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.
