Professor Hahn received a grant to study the relationship between childhood obesity and video game playing. Answer the following questions about Professor Hahn's research study: Professor Hahn could study the topic of how childhood obesity is connected to time spent playing video games by using a case study, conducting a survey, or using naturalistic observation. Firstly, Professor Hahn could use a case study to study this topic by executing personal interviews with children who play video-games varying amounts of time, directly observing correlations of weight and time spent playing video games, and studying records. The second way Hahn could study this topic would be by creating a survey. The survey would ask parents of children (who do…
In January, the researcher began her student teaching with the intention of finding out how reading and discussing equality-related literature influences students’ attitudes toward race. She planned to have her students read a few texts with race as a central theme, and she would study their change or stagnation in attitude toward race over the semester through a triangulation process. Her data collection would begin and end with Harvard’s Project Implicit Race IAT, found at https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/selectatest.html, and a survey on attitudes toward race, which can be accessed in the appendix. During the research, she would use journal entries to assess her students’ attitudes for change or no change. In total, the research…
Results Alcohol Use Score: 2.6 The client's alcohol use score is 2.6. The maximum attainable score is 5, which indicates the belief that using alcohol is detrimental to one's social, emotional, and physical well-being. The minimum score of one indicates the belief that using alcohol can enhance one's social, emotional, and physical well-being. Therefore, the client's score of 2.6 indicates a split between view of alcohol as a harmful aspect during social events and as a social enhancer during social activities.…
In Chapter Three, “Pressure”, the author, Alexandra Robbins argues that the pressure that American high school students are facing is dangerous to student’s well-being. In this chapter, Robbins exposes the amount of pressure that is being put on high school students today to get into a good university and succeed in life. Not only in this country, but also in East Asia. Robbins uses East Asia as an example of the dangerous effects of too much pressure being placed on a minor. In East Asia, the educational system emphasizes on good test scores and GPAs.…
Zimbardo’s Stanford Prison Experiment is one known for its many positive and negative outcomes, as well as giving an outline of negative ethical practices when conducting a research using humans. However, the process of constructing such an experiment was originally done with good intentions, not expecting those involved to suffer psychological changes. There were two purposes to inspire the conduction of this study. First, researchers wanted to observe what kind of norms will develop in a psychologically stressful situation. Secondly, to discover the changes in behavior when a group of peers, of similar situations, are given either a position of uncontrolled power or a position of expected submission.…
Method Participants Participants for this experiment were the students attending their psychology 101 class during normal class hours. The entire class consisted of thirteen males and eleven females all of which attend Western New England University and all had agreed to participate in the experiment. Materials The material used was simply two different answer sheets, one half of the participants got one, while the other half got the other answer sheet. One answer sheet had basic instructions of the experiment while the other had more detailed instructions and hints on how to succeed at the experiment.…
Effectiveness of an e-learning tool for education on pressure ulcer evaluation Pressure ulcers also known as bedsores are considered one of the greatest challenges that nurses face with their daily regimen according to (Demarre et al. 2011, Revello & Fields 2012). Pressure ulcers are caused by a patient not being repositioned frequently, poor nutrition, poor skin care as well as many chronic diseases such as Diabetes Mellitus (Mayo Clinic, 1998). A trial test was conducted by undergraduate nursing students to determine if the e-learning software is more effective than the traditional lecture style class (Biggs & Tang 2011). At present, the traditional lecture style class is focused on looking at different types of pressure ulcers and their different wound stages on photograph. This theoretical training is usually accompanied by clinical practice in which the students can observe and treat wounds in a real clinical context (Dobbin 2001, Gulpinar &…

All collected data from this research was transcribed verbatim and analyzed using Moustakas’ (1994) transcendental phenomenological reduction. During transcendental phenomenological reduction, common themes were identified through the special education teachers’ shared experiences using the iPad as an instructional tool for elementary students with intellectual disabilities. The common themes were recognized through identifying significant statements, by highlighting and making notes on sticky tabs about the key patterns collected from the participants’ data. The participants’ statements were grouped into significant units and given codes, leaving only the horizons. Next, the clusters of meaning was developed from the coded statements, which…
There were enormous differences in many of the factors that affected the non-traditional students that included age, gender, children, and the other questions that were asked on our survey. This means that my predictions were correct, but it only applies to the non-traditional students. So my mistake based off of this study, is that I did not collect enough personal information or organize the students into groups. If I had done that, then maybe my predictions would have matched the results. I was however correct in predicting how to measure the magnitude of the factors that affect a student 's GPA.…

Asian students also represent another minority group with educational problems, although different from what the other minority groups face. Asian Americans represent around 4% of the U.S. population, and make up 20% of the students at U.S. Ivy League schools (Kornblum & Julian, 2012). Asian students tend to acquire higher levels of achievement and educational attainment. As a result, they can be treated and seen as a ‘model minority’ where they face higher expectations for such academic endeavors (Hsin & Xie, 2014). With these extremely high expectations, many Asian students find it difficult to meet it, which can lead to higher levels of stress, depression, and low self-esteem.…

In the following report, the variable Occupational Classification, and the variable Self-Reported Stress, will be examined. The hypothesis going into this examination was that the two variables would have a relationship. What the aim of this bivariate investigation was is to determine whether or not this relationship is weak or strong. At first examination, it was suspected that the two variables would be related, as it has been shown that an individual’s job does have a direct impact on their stress levels.…
