Question

question 12

researchers assessed the effectiveness of various diversity training methods on pro-diversity attitudes months later.

which conclusion can best be used in designing future trainings?

some employees resist diversity trainings.
constant reinforcement after diversity training is required.
there is one correct way to facilitate a diversity training.
one method does not meet all needs in terms of diversity trainings, so varying teaching methods is best.

Explanation:

Analyze the research context

Using the Diversity Training Goals knowledge point

The study assesses the long-term effectiveness (months later) of various diversity training methods on pro-diversity attitudes. Because different methods have different impacts and no single method is universally perfect for every individual or organization, the research points to the necessity of using a mix of approaches.

Evaluate the options

Using the Diversity Training Goals knowledge point

• Option 1 ("Some employees resist diversity trainings"): While true in practice, this is a general challenge rather than a constructive design conclusion derived from comparing "various training methods."
• Option 2 ("Constant reinforcement after diversity training is required"): Although reinforcement is beneficial, the prompt specifically highlights the evaluation of various methods rather than the post-training environment.
• Option 3 ("There is one correct way to facilitate a diversity training"): This contradicts the premise of assessing "various" methods, as research shows different methods yield different outcomes.
• Option 4 ("One method does not meet all needs in terms of diversity trainings, so varying teaching methods is best"): This directly addresses the comparison of various methods and provides a practical, actionable conclusion for designing future training programs.

Answer:

• (A) Some employees resist diversity trainings.
• (B) Constant reinforcement after diversity training is required.
• (C) There is one correct way to facilitate a diversity training.
• (D) One method does not meet all needs in terms of diversity trainings, so varying teaching methods is best. (Correct answer)
