I need this in 1 hour. Only about a paragraph is needed. Please do not accept if you can finish in an hour.

1. Theresa is doing a content analysis of the ways in which African-Americans were portrayed on radio and television between the 1940s and the 1980s. She finds that this group tended to be stereotyped in both media as bumbling, clownish, and often lazy and coniving. The stereotypes are examples of hidden value judgments. Remembering time order, and that attitude comes before behavior, is the hidden value judgment an independent (X) variable, or the dependent (Y) variable? Explain your reasoning very briefly

2. Group work in college courses is intended to build on group synergy, through a diversity of perspectives and membership that produces better decisions. However, it is often the case that group disharmony occurs among the members. Consider the case of Jerald and his group.
Jerald is a very assertive and self-assured person who has a dominating interaction style. It is rare for anybody in the group to be able to get a word in edgewise in group meetings, especially for the members who are shy and introverted. Such group members start out with every intention of being productive, although as time passes they don't feel like their ideas are valued, and their participation levels drop.

Two part question:

a. Can you justify the attribution that the introverted members are social loafers because they slack off? Explain your answer.

b. How does the concept of perceived self-control apply to this situation? Explain your answer.
