\nPreparation
\nUse the Capella Library and the Internet to research theories of social psychology and strategies for minimizing social influence in political debates. Some suggestions for keyword searches include (but are not limited to): debate format analysis; moderator influence; the impact of social and mainstream media; self-presentation and visual influence; minimizing bias; presentation style, and voter perception.
\nThe authentic deliverable for this assessment is a proposal with an executive summary. There are many resources on the Internet and free templates or examples, if you choose to use one as a guide for completing this assessment. This assessment is also an exercise in disciplined professional writing. Carefully parsing down information to maximize conveyance of knowledge with the minimum of space is as rigorous as writing an academic paper.
\nInstructions
\nAssume the role described in the following scenario as you complete this assessment.
\nScenario
\nYou are a political consultant to a “better government” citizen group, such as the League of Women Voters. You have been hired to develop guidelines for holding neutral and fair public town hall\u2013style debates, covered by social and mainstream media, to ensure that the voters make up their own minds as free of social influence as possible.
\nDeliverable
\nDevelop a proposal of research-based guidelines for neutral and fair public debates and media coverage. The first part of the proposal is an executive summary, which should be about one page in length.
\nThe Executive Summary
\nWriting must be succinct, clear, and comprehensible to a layperson. The purpose of the executive summary is to:
\nProvide a concise analysis of the problem.
\nExplain the rationale.
\nReport the main conclusions.
\nThe first two subheadings constitute the executive summary portion of your proposal:
\nAnalysis of the Issue: Social Influence and Politics
\nAnalyze how social psychology theory can be applied to identify and reduce sources of social influence in a debate setting.
\nWrite an introductory paragraph or two.
\nAnalysis of the Issue: Perception and Bias
\nAssess how social context (relationships, groups, and culture) influences perception and behavior in a debate setting.
\nWrite an explanatory paragraph or two.
\nProposed Guidelines
\nWrite research-based guidelines for fair public debates and media coverage.
\nUse subheadings to organize content.
\nUse bullet points and phrases for main points, in addition to short, succinct paragraphs.
\nInclude a visual, such as a graph, table, or chart to succinctly convey information, if you choose.
\nGuidelines for Fair Public Debate
\nIntegrate principles of social psychology and research to develop guidelines for fair public debate.
\nConsider the following guiding questions as you develop the guidelines.
\nHow does the format affect voter perception?
\nHow can a moderator influence voter perception?
\nHow can social and mainstream media be managed in a debate for balance?
\nConsider the implications of visuals and voter perception.
\nWhat participant behaviors would you prohibit?
\nHow do you propose to manage the behavior of the audience?
\nReferences
\nSupport positions with references from scholarly and professional literature.
\nSupport each guideline with at least one reference using APA format and style.
\nAdditional Requirements
\nLength: Maximum length is 3\u20134 pages.
\nReferences: Your references may include both scholarly literature and practitioner sources. Support each guideline with at least one current reference.
\nWritten communication: Write clearly and logically, with correct use of spelling, grammar, punctuation, mechanics, and APA format and style.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
