feedback

Examples of feedback in the following topics:

• Setting Goals

  • The enhancement of performance through goals requires feedback.
  • Goal setting and feedback go hand in hand, for without feedback, goal setting is unlikely to work.
  • Providing feedback on short-term objectives helps to sustain motivation and commitment to a goal.
  • Feedback should also be provided on the strategies followed to achieve the goals and the final outcomes achieved as well.

• Workplace

  • Specifically, new employees who are extraverted or particularly open to experience are more likely to seek out information, feedback, acceptance and relationships with co-workers.

• Groupthink

  • Anonymous feedback via a suggestion box or online chat has also been found to be a useful remedy for groupthink.

• Deviance and Social Stigma

  • Social stigma is so profound that it overpowers positive social feedback regarding the way in which the same individual adheres to other social norms.

• Gender Bias in the Classroom

  • Because girls are typically socialized to be quiet and passive, teachers may need to actively encourage their participation in class in order to avoid boy-dominated discussion, or a situation in which boys receive more feedback from and interaction with teachers because they more actively participate in class.

• Group Influence

  • Anonymous feedback via suggestion box or online chat has been found to be a useful remedy for groupthink — negative or dissenting views of proposals can be raised without any individual being identifiable by others as having lodged a critique.
