Answer to #1

FALSE
Explanation: High-status individuals are often given more freedom to deviate from norms than are other group members. As high-status individuals, they're given a wider range of discretion as long as their activities aren't severely detrimental to group goal achievement.

Answer to #2

1. The most common class of norms is performance norms. Work groups typically provide their members with explicit cues on how hard they should work, how to get the job done, their level of output, appropriate levels of tardiness, and the like.
2. Appearance norms include things like dress codes and unspoken rules about when to look busy.
3. Social arrangement norms are norms about with whom group members eat lunch and whether to form friendships on and off the job.
4. Resource allocation norms cover things like assignment of difficult jobs and distribution of resources like pay or equipment.

Answer to #5

The researcher who developed self-efficacy theory, Albert Bandura, proposed four ways self-efficacy can be increased:
1. Enactive mastery
2. Vicarious modeling
3. Verbal persuasion
4. Arousal
According to Bandura, the most important source of increasing self-efficacy is enactive masterythat is, gaining relevant experience with the task or job. The second source is vicarious modelingor becoming more confident because you see someone else doing the task. The third source is verbal persuasionbecoming more confident because someone convinces you that you have the skills necessary to be successful. Finally, Bandura argued that arousal increases self-efficacy. Arousal leads to an energized state, which drives a person to complete a task. The person gets psyched up and performs better.
