Scientific control

The type of quasi-experimental design that is implemented is the nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. 60 participants were recruited from three units and were allocated into the intervention group, 61 participants were recruited from six sites and allocated to the control group. The researchers administered questionnaires to both groups before and after the intervention. The rationale for using a quasi-experimental…

small-request-only, small-request/large-request, small-request/large-request with an excuse provided (SLRE), large-request-only (LRO). Each telephone interviewer was given a list of names and telephone numbers. A block randomization technique was used to control for the order of condition and the time of initial contact. All subjects were initially approached on the weekend; the sex was noted for identifying him or her for the second request when appropriate. In the single-request conditions,…

In order to truly have a healthy lifestyle, physical activity is a huge factor that can go a long way in benefitting an individual’s lifestyle. In a low-contact intervention done by Aoife Lane, Niamh Murphy, Adrian Bauman, and Tien Chey on inactive Irish women who recently participated in a mass 10km run, they share their results and assessment on the effectiveness of this type of intervention. In this paper, I will summarize the overall basis and findings of the intervention conducted by the…

experience of exclusion and in the other group to recall the last meal they ate; these participants would be the control group. All the participants were simulated to being able to fly or to be impervious to injury. They were then asked to report their desire to contact their in-group friends on a social connection scale from 1-7 (1 being not at all and 7 being very much). Participants in the control group with the simulation of being able to fly that recalled a time where they were excluded had…

The Effects of Mindfulness Meditation on the Working Memory in College Students Previous research studies have exhibited evidence towards the relationship between meditation and improved academic scores (Foris, 2005). With meditation becoming a widely popular topic, especially for its benefits in the reduction of stress and anxiety, it is questioned whether the use of proper mindfulness meditation has positive effects on the working memory and if so, do those effects differentiate between males…

The purpose of Andreas Ivarsson’s study was to examine the extent to which a mindfulness-based program plays a role in reducing the number of sport injuries regarding soccer players. Ivarrson looked at a total of forty-one elite soccer players still in high school. This topic is an important area of investigation for several reasons. First off, time loss injuries have been known to affect athletes both psychologically and emotionally. Players who are taken out of games due to injury, often voice…

smooth. We had plenty of human error during the Spectronic 20 reading phase of Experiment #1. For the first few readings we forgot to put the specific cuvettes to their proper destination. This can account for the huge change in our P2 and S2 negative control; which are the ones that were supposed to go in a dark container. This can be closely observed with figure 2. Overall, it answered our hypothesis of abundancy of chloroplast in P2. The group established the hypothesis for Experiment #2 was…

Lugol’s ,and Benedict’s). We had two different experiments, the first experiment was to get qualitative data. The second was to get quantitative date. The first experiment we tested each supplement with each reagent and also a positive and negative control for each supplement. We had a total of 15 test tubes. We would observe the color of each supplement and the reagents. We recorded the color of each solution and compared them…

important because of three reasons. Firstly, giving patients a right and clear way to let them know the truth of their condition and treatment procedures will avoid some of unnecessary medical misunderstandings between doctors and patients. For some control groups, they might not be able to tell patients what will they do for them. Therefore, it is easy to get misunderstandings of doctors and patients, if treatments are fail. Secondly, according to Hróbjartsson (2002), he mentioned that the…

solution. Pot C (control) is the control plant as it was given standardized fertilizer regime using normal concentration nitrates and phosphates. All plants were grown in a growth chamber at a temperature of 22°C, the light intensity of 180 ue, photoperiod of 16 hours and humidity of 70%. After 4 weeks, one leaf from each treatment was collected and weighted for mass. Then, the leaves were being placed inside a microfuge tube containing 800 μL of…
