B estudiante de intercambio
Imagina que tienes un(a) compañero(a) que va
a pasar el próximo semestre como estudiante
de intercambio en un país hispanoamericano.
Vas a trabajar con un grupo para preparar una
lista de recomendaciones que puedan facilitar la
transición (acerca de la comida, las actividades
familiares, las costumbres religiosas, el clima, los
barrios de la nueva ciudad o pueblo, la escuela, las
diversiones, los amigos, etc.).
1. Primero, reflexiona sobre algunos desafíos
que se presentan durante el período
de transición a una nueva cultura: los
sentimientos que podrían surgir al principio y
algunas maneras de aliviarlos.
2. Prepara una lista de por lo menos cinco
recomendaciones que podrían facilitar los
primeros días.
3. Comparte tus ideas con tus compañeros y
escojan las mejores para compartirlas con

(adapted from m. m. duguid and j. a. goncalo, living large: the powerful overestimate their own height. ) in a study of power and self-image, participants were not told the true purpose of the study; instead, they believed they were participating in a business simulation. researchers randomly assigned participants to a high power(n = 44) or low-power (n = 44) condition. in the high-power condition, participants recalled a time when they had power over others, and in the low-power condition, they recalled a time when others had power over them. participants were asked to adjust the height (in centimeters) of an electronic graphical image (an avatar)of themselves to reflect their personal appearance. results indicated a statistically significant difference in participants’ perceptions of their own height across the two conditions. participants in the high-power condition created taller self-images (mean = 6.0, standard deviation = 1.5) than participants in the low-power condition(mean = 4.0, standard deviation = 1.0). * describe independent variable- describe how researchers measured the independent variable- explain why the researchers can conclude that there is a cause-and-effect relationship between the independent and dependent variables. - explain what statistical significance means in the context of the study.- explain why debriefing would be necessary in the study. -
