The purpose of the theory response is to demonstrate an academic and real-world knowledge of a specific theoretical construct from the course. The Theory Response has 5 parts: 1) State and define the theory chosen for the Theory Response paper. 2) Give the reference for a peer-reviewed research article that uses the theory. Then, in one paragraph, summarize how the concept is defined and operationalized in the study. You do not need to describe the study in detail, only how the concept you have chosen was used. 3) Give an example of how the concept would be used to understand an issue at the macro-level (that is an issue involving a very large group like states or national people groups). 4) Give an example of how the concept would be used to understand an issue at the micro-level (that is an issue involving a small group like a youth group or college sports team). 5) Give an example of how the concept would be used to understand an issue from your own life. For this theory response you must choose from the following concepts: altruism, bystander effect, inclusive fitness, just-world hypothesis, reciprocity norm, social exchange theory, or diffusion of responsibility Requirements: 3 pages (minimum of 750 words), 1 peer-reviewed article, and the Sabates textbook; APA format.
