Mediator and Moderator

The post is of two assignments

1:Mediator and Moderator

Order Description

Consider the following examples of research findings:

1.High satisfaction with one’s direct supervisor leads to lower levels of employee turnover. In other words, employees who are highly satisfied with their direct supervisor are less likely to leave an organization than employees who are dissatisfied with their direct supervisor (DeConinck, 2009).

2.High levels of parental reading are associated with faster cognitive development in young children. In other words, children who are read to more by their parents show faster cognitive development than children who are read to less often (National Scientific Council on the Developing Child, 2007).

3.The experience of being socially excluded leads to increases in aggressive behavior. Research has found that when people are excluded by others, they are more likely to behave aggressively, even to people who did not initially exclude them (Twenge, Baumeister, Tice, & Stucke, 2001).

4.Defendants who wear glasses are less likely to be convicted by juries as being guilty of committing violent crimes (Brown, Henriquez, & Groscup, 2008).

Describe a potential mediator and moderator that could apply to each research finding.Explain what a mediator and moderator are, and be sure to clearly describe how they relate to each research situation.

2:What are IDEA’s requirements regarding parental involvement in the IEP process?
DQ5/1
What factors must the IEP team take into consideration when determining what the least restrictive environment is for an individual student?
DQ5/2
Read “Case No. 18 – State Responsibility to Ensure Compliance with the IDEA.” Would a state be responsible for providing special education services if a local school board, defaulted on its obligation?
DQ6/1
Read “Case No. 19 – The Meaning of “Otherwise Qualified.” One could argue that if parents were fully aware of the parameters of Section 504, then schools would have to operate differently. Would this be good?
DQ6/2
Read “Case No. 20 – Defenses under Section 504.” Was the decision decided within this case wise? Was it safe for the school community?
