Reliability

METHODOLOGY A deductive reasoning was used in this article where this method is aimed and a testing theory. It is a clear method and usually it begins with a hypothesis and followed by the emphasis which Is generally on causality. And on the front page under method: A quantitative descriptive cross-sectional design is used. This is commonly associated with quantitative research. Deductive Reasoning is considered by many as a standard for scientific research in order to test whether the theories…

A survey is used to receive information and feedback needed in planning and program improvement (Thayer-hart et al., 2010). Creating and implementing a survey is a systematic process of collecting information on a certain topic by asking individuals questions and generalizing the results to groups expressed by the respondents (Thayer-hart et al., 2010). Designing a survey includes five steps: design survey process, develop questions, test and train, collect data, and analyze the data. The type…

didn't allow for multiple tests to be conducted. The amount of times the experiment was conduced was also a limiting factor, the results were limited as there was only one set of results given rather then multiple sets of results thus limiting the reliability of the experiment. Solutions to there limiting factors would be to allow for a longer time period where you are able to conduct the experiment more then once, conducting the same experiment in the same conditions to get the average results…

Eyewitness testimony has been discussed to be one of the most arguable sources to be used in the jury system, especially in its reliability. The podcast series “Serial” presented by Sarah Koenig, has illustrated a crime case back in 1999, which is still a mystery until now, contained many perceptions indicating the reliability of memory in eyewitness testimony. The suspect of the crime is Adnan Syed, a seventeen-year-old high school student who is also the victim’s ex-boyfriend. There were many…

Coping Knowledge Questionnaire. However, this questionnaire was developed by the research team and does not have any validity and reliability evidence. Another aim of the program is to improve the mother’s child-rearing practices. The measure used to assess this effect is the 14-item Maternal Emotional Styles Questionnaire, which has shown good validity and reliability scores (Lagace-Seguin & Coplan, 2005). The 36-item Parental Scaffolding Questionnaire measures the ways that mothers scaffold…

In the finality of Descartes' first meditation, the meditator is already facing supreme doubt of all formerly inherited and empirical knowledge and builds an approach towards creating a foundation of doubt on all previous beliefs. Believing to have called all of their beliefs into question, the meditator still demands reason to doubt arithmetic and geometric knowledge – a knowledge that to them feels most intuitive; a “perfect knowledge”. To this, the meditator raises a hypothesis that applies…

Memory is the encoding, storage and retrieval of past events and experiences, it is present in the short term memory store and then transferred to the long term memory store. The retrieval of memory isn’t always accurate as memories become distorted over time. The distortion of these memories are due to some influencing factors such as language, age, reconstructive errors and emotion. Taking all these factors into consideration leads to the point that memory is only to some extent reliable.…

The study examine the connection between personality and social network use via the Five-Factor Model (FFM), focused on Facebook users.

Researchers hypothesized that individuals who ace on Extraversion are more likely to have more friends and have…

Chapter 4 Modelling of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator 4.1 Overview The permanent magnet synchronous generator is used in this thesis as wind turbine generator because of their high efficiency, low losses, smaller size, less maintenance, high reliability and the ability to operate without gearbox [33], [34]. The main aspect which distinguishes the Permanent Magnet Synchronous machine from other types of electrical machines is that the rotor magnetic flux is generated by permanent…

knowledge of the existence of confirmation bias as a widespread phenomenon and how it works will allow people to be less influenced by their own biases and less susceptible to believing in the supernatural. If individuals place less weight on the reliability of personal anecdotal evidence, then aspects of confirmation bias can be avoided. The notion that our perception and memory of events has a direct correspondence to reality is simply wrong. A great deal of research today suggests that what…
