This document contains:
1) A 29-item Locus of Control scale questionnaire where participants select which of two statements they agree with more from each pair.
2) Instructions on how to score the questionnaire, with 23 items scored and 6 that are filler items. Higher scores indicate a more internal locus of control - a belief that one has control over what happens to them. Lower scores indicate a more external locus of control - a belief that outside forces beyond one's control greatly influence life events.
3) The scale is reverse scored from the original Rotter scale, with internal locus of control associated with a higher score rather than a lower score.

Discussion question Fair SharesThe Center City Anuraphilic (fro.docxedgar6wallace88877
Discussion question: Fair Shares
The Center City Anuraphilic (frog lovers) society has fallen on hard times. Abraham, Bobby and Charlene are the only remaining members and each feels equally entitled to take possession of the society’s collection of live rare tropical frogs. The decision is made to use the method of sealed bids and fair shares to decide who will take possession of the entire collection and how much will be paid in compensation to the other members.
Abraham unseals his estimate of the value of the collection at $12,000.00. Bobby’s estimate of the value of the collection is $6,000.00. Charlene values the collection at $9,000.00.
· Who receives the collection of frogs?
· What is each person’s fair share of the monetary value of the collection?
· Why is the monetary amount of each fair share different?
· How much money is owed to each of the two people who do not “win” the collection of frogs?
· In your opinion how “Fair” is the process described above?
Now pretending for a moment that you like frogs, we will insert you into the situation under special circumstances. Despite (or perhaps because of) your love of all things amphibious, you currently lack the funds to pay each of the others their probable fair share. You will not receive the collection, but wish to receive as much money as possible. You have no knowledge of the amounts in each of the sealed bids, but strongly suspect that Abraham will bid between $10,000.00 and $12,000.00.
· Given that you cannot afford to “win” the process, describe how you will go about deciding what to put down for your own estimate of the value of the collection.
Comment on your peers' responses, addressing the following:
· Do your peers' responses address all of the points of the assignment?
· Are the answers and the reasoning behind those answers clear?

1. Describe the interplay between gene flow, genetic drift, .docxjeremylockett77
1. Describe the interplay between gene flow, genetic drift, and selection. Under what
circumstances does one overwhelm the others? Selection can affect allele frequencies at
loci affecting fitness, but can selection also limit gene flow at unlinked neutral loci?
2. Kimura’s equation (k = µ) provides a powerful prediction for neutral genetic variation.
However, this prediction may not hold for neutral regions linked to regions that are
subjected to selection. How might background selection and rates of recombination affect
the substitution rates for neutral alleles?
3. How can expectations from coalescence theory allow us to detect the effects of selection?
Describe neutrality tests including the Ewens-Watterson and Tajima’s D tests. How can
these tests be confounded by violations of the assumption of constant population size?
How might we distinguish the effects of historical bottlenecks from the effects of
selection?
4. What can variation in levels of genomic differentiation (i.e. speciation islands, FST
outliers) tell us about the effects of selection during divergence among lineages? What
else besides selection can cause FST outliers? What would be a good way to confirm that
these genomic regions were responsible for adaptation to different habitats?
