Confounding

This body of information has ultimately been collected for a specific reason. The further down the line the information is passed, the further away it gets from the original context and meaning. The initial conductors of the study, which included scientists, had an objective with the purpose to investigate whether the income-to-needs ratio experienced in early childhood noticeably impacts the child's brain development during educational time-spans.. An article in the Magazine JAMA, titled The…

Title: Exploring the Factors Affecting Post-Wound Hair Regeneration in Mice. Hypothesis: We hypothesize that in mice large wound size increases the number of hair follicle because large wound will activate the Wnt pathway that is necessary for hair follicle regeneration in wounds. Independent variables being tested: The wound size of the mice. Dependent variables being tested: The number of hair follicle. Experimental Design: This experiment will be designed to determine if large wound size,…

Boutot, A. &Bryant D. (2005). Social integration of students with autism in inclusive settings. Education and Training in Developmental Disabilities, 40(1), 14-23, DOI. This study focuses on children with autism and how they socialize in inclusive settings. Past research suggests that when children are searching for friends they are looking for people who are similar to them and have strong communication skills. Children with autism have very limited communications skills and can often engage…

Law enforcement interrogations are inquiries, in which criminal investigators systematically question potentially uncooperative individuals legally held in custody to attain dependable information that suspects may have knowledge of and potential responsibility for (Evans et al., 2010). Seasoned law enforcement interrogators (SLEIs) follow prescribed requirements in the course and conduct of the interrogation, but they also have extraordinary discretionary and flexible decision-making powers to…

not controlled in the directing of the experiment; an ambiguous variable that caused an effect to happen. One of the conditions necessary for confounding to occur is that the confounding factor must be distributed unequally among the groups being compared. A case of a design that has three confounds would be like the one mentioned by Jackson (2012). Confounding occurs when two variables systematically vary in correlation with another related variant (Kovera, 2010, p. 2). In the earlier design…

Question 1: The Grantham study was based on information gleaned from the larger AusDiab study, which included a food frequency questionnaire. Benefits: • Large Prospective Cohort study like this can judge causality by collect data concerning the series of outcomes. • This study can measure the impact of diary intake on various outcomes like prevalence of diabetes and risk factors for the chronic diseases of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and kidney disease. • The study allow to calculate…

viable, which is that change blindness could be attributed to the person’s general unfamiliarity with the objects. People are better at noticing the change in objects that are more familiar to them. In fact, familiarity with the object is a crucial confounding variable often overlooked by researchers. Consider Simons and Levin’s study (1998) as an example. While the participant failed to notice that he was speaking to a complete different person, it is worth noting that both of…

This lab investigates the affect of sucrose on mitosis in onion root cells. The results of the experiment do not support the hypothesis. As the concentration of sucrose increases, the percent change in root length of the onion decreases. The individual data shows a 44.75% increase in the length of the onion root for the control group (0.0M). This is the highest percent change in onion root length. The solution is likely hypotonic. This means that it contains a higher concentration of water…

Since the dawn of human civilization, individuals have struggled against various forms of authority and oppression. As the notions of a social contract came to fruition, a body politic was firmly established. Binding laws and confounding social factors began to take hold of people’s lives as their inherently unique morality became repressed. We all give life its own special meaning and are ultimately free to determine our own course of action, our own moral compass. However, government…

“The specter of an avian flu resurgence in the fall has proven confounding to the industry, making it hard to predict price changes,” said Russell Whitman, a turkey-market analysis, in a report produced with the Wisconsin Public Radio. American consumers have experience the bird flu primarily through higher egg prices…
