little variation between student’s maladaptive perfectionism scores. A correlation coefficient was calculated between procrastination and adaptive perfectionism scores (r (523) = -.14, p < .001). A significant negative correlation was found. This supports our first hypothesis and suggests it was correct in stating that those scoring high in procrastination would score low in adaptive perfectionism. A correlation coefficient was calculated between procrastination and maladaptive perfectionism…
Analysis Section: In order to determine if prevention programs particularly the BUILD program, are successful in helping reduce youths at risk I conducted a research study. This study consisted of a one group post-test only design and quantitative data, the sample size consisted of 26 youth participant’s, 13 were male and 13 were female, all were African American, all were participants of the BUILD program, all attended Leland elementary, and there ages varied from 5-15 years old. To…
Final Paper: Measuring Change in HRQoL of ITP Patients in Japan treated by Eltrombopag Introduction Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder, which is characterized by a low platelet count caused by both increased platelet destruction and insufficient platelet production [1]. In Japan, there are 20,000 patients with ITP and the incidence of ITP is estimated at 3,000 per year [2]. Major signs and symptoms include red spots and/or bruising on the skin, prolonged bleeding…
Discussion This longitudinal study assessed the extent to which academic achievement and engagement were predicted from the academic achievement and engagement of friends and network members. Concurrent Relations As expected, adolescent’s academic achievement was highly correlated with that of their friends and network members. This is consistent with findings from U.S. studies. Ryan (2001) found that students’ academic levels were similar to group’s academic levels with the correlations…
points scored increases, so does the total number of wins. On the other hand, the second scatter plot (Points Allowed vs. Total Wins) proves, as the points allowed increases, the total number of wins decreases. The calculation of the correlation coefficient (r) between points scored (x) and total wins (y) is 0.754 meaning that there is a strong uphill (positive) linear relationship between the two…
Since the study was conducted in Texas of United States, the demographic distribution here may be different from other part or State of the country. Moreover, for the special locate of Texas, there are more Mexican immigrants or Mexican Americans, the racial differences may varied from any other state of the country. Furthermore, the participants were selected through convenient sampling instead of random sampling, which may not represent all the middle school students with different cultural…
The target population that he authors wanted to study was children in Elementary School. The population from which the sample was taken represented the appropriate people because the authors studied children from fourth through sixth grade (elementary school). The average age of children who participated was 10 years, and 26% of them were from public schools, 26% from a public school, and 7% from a parochial school. The schools indicated that 60% of children were Black, 26% were White, and 14%…
Company Value: Job Performance: Citizenship and Task Behavior Company value is highly correlated, with statistical significance, to citizenship behavior. This supports our hypothesis that states, “If employees feel connected, and apart, of their company’s culture they are more likely to be aligned with organizations mission and values.” Employees who feel connected to their organization often go above and beyond in their job tasks, and exceed goals set by their organization. These employees…
The value of the correlation coefficient is found to be insignificant at 5 per cent level. Secondly, the correlation between ROI and QR is 0.90 which is also found to be insignificant at 5 per cent level. It reveals that there is no correlation between the two variables. It is evident from these two ratios that the lower the company's margin of safety to the short term creditors, the greater is the profitability of the concern. Thirdly, the correlation coefficient between ROI and WCR is…
Balance Balance is evaluated on 7 items. Again, points are administered for independence and strength of performance of individual actions, such as sitting or standing. Maximum score for this section is 14. The Barthel Index of Activities of Daily Living The Barthel scale (reference) is a ten item index assessing patients Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and morbidity, including: absence or presence or faecal and/or urinary incontinence, as well needing help with grooming, toilet use,…
