HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT
Part 1
For either of the case studies readings (Foy, Zoellner, or Shafer), please describe the following:
1. How did the authors use theory? Where would you place it on a continuum of uses of theory we discussed?
2. How did it relate to the uses of theory as described by Bartholemew and Mulen?
3. In you view of the work, how much did they explanation of the data ‘fit’ the theoretical components?
Part 2
1. Select a behavior that is relevant to your area of interest. 1a.Which levels (individual, social, institutional, environmental) are most likely to have a significant role? 1b.Who would you engage to develop a formative project to understand more about this behavior?
For students who are applying theory to an active project:
2. For one of the behaviors relevant to your outcome, complete a table relating variables relevant to your behavior to theories presented in class and in the readings. Can you expand on these individual factors, to include other factors at the social, institutional and environmental levels?
For students who are not applying theory currently to an active project:
2. Using examples from the theories and frameworks presented in class create a table to organize concepts related to this behavior. Make sure to specify which theory they relate to, the types of measures you might use to capture these behavioral concepts, and which strategies you would use to measure them.
