Question 1 of 5
Which of the following is a dimension for characterizing behavioural consequences?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: short-term or long-term. This dimension characterizes behavioral consequences based on the time frame over which the consequences are observed. Short-term consequences have immediate effects, while long-term consequences have effects that manifest over an extended period. This dimension is important in understanding the impact of behaviors and helps in predicting future behavior patterns. A: immediate or delayed - This dimension focuses on the timing of consequences rather than the duration, making it different from the dimension in the question. C: limited or extensive - This dimension describes the scope or magnitude of consequences, not the time frame over which they occur. D: compliance or performance - This dimension pertains to different aspects of behavior (following rules vs. achieving outcomes) rather than the duration of consequences.
Question 2 of 5
According to self-determination theory, what forms of extrinsic motivation result in more of a self- directed effort to work in safer ways?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In self-determination theory, identified regulation involves perceiving the activity as personally important and aligned with one's values, leading to more self-directed effort. Integrated regulation goes a step further, where the behavior is fully assimilated into one's sense of self, resulting in the highest level of self-directed effort. On the other hand, external and introjected regulations involve more external factors or pressures, which may not foster as much self-directed effort. Therefore, the correct answer is C (identified and integrated) as they align with the principles of self-determination theory for promoting self-directed efforts.
Question 3 of 5
Elinor has the chance to earn a gift certificate for any Swiss Chalet restaurant if her department has over 90% use of safety glasses in the last six months. According to motivational theory what type of reward is this?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: contingent. This reward is contingent on a specific behavior (using safety glasses). Contingent rewards are directly tied to performance or behavior, reinforcing desired actions. Compliance (A) refers to following rules or regulations without necessarily being rewarded. Complementary (C) rewards are additional benefits given along with the main reward, which is not the case here. Cooperation (D) relates to working together with others, which is not the focus of the reward in this scenario. Therefore, the most fitting term to describe the reward in this situation is contingent.
Question 4 of 5
What theory explains how we can motivate safe behaviour by recognizing that people are motivated by different things?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Self-determination theory explains motivation by emphasizing intrinsic factors such as autonomy, competence, and relatedness. This theory acknowledges individual differences in motivation, making it suitable for encouraging safe behavior. Reinforcement theory (A) focuses on rewards and punishments, not individual motivations. Goal-setting theory (B) emphasizes setting specific goals. Transformational leadership theory (D) focuses on inspiring and transforming followers, not individual motivations for safe behavior. Thus, C is correct as it aligns with understanding individual motivations for safety.
Question 5 of 5
Working for an oil drilling company in the oil sands region of northern Alberta can be very lucrative, even for workers in entry level jobs. Workers have moved to Fort McMurray and other northern Alberta towns in the thousands, from all over Canada and even from overseas. However,
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because it highlights the fact that fatalities, while less common, are still a risk in the oil drilling industry. This is an important point to emphasize the potential dangers associated with working in this field. It is crucial for workers to be aware of these risks and for companies to prioritize safety measures to prevent such incidents. Choice A is incorrect because it focuses on the efficiency and safety measures taken by oil drilling crews, which is not directly related to the risk of fatalities mentioned in the question. Choices C and D are blank, so they are automatically incorrect as they do not provide any information to support or refute the statement in the question.
