Controlling for a variable

expected to be associated with past-year mental health problems above what was predicted by lifetime history of violence. (Hedtke et al., 2008, p. 235). The independent variables in this study are the type of violence history. There are three variables; sexual assault, physical assault, and witnessed violence. The dependent variables are the mental health outcomes; Post Traumatic Stress disorder (PTSD), Major Depression Episode (MDE), and substance abuse problems. The authors provided a…

Textbook p.168 When JW came into the workplace to learn about his new job, he was excited about the new educational learning that he would be receiving about the modernized electrical control systems in the factory. As JW started learning about controlling Ethernet drives and input / output control systems, he started struggling with the concept of the many different things that were going on inside one communications cable. His classic conditioning of the old electrical control wiring was not…

adolescence (19-20 years old) would predict greater emotional competence in young adulthood (23-24 years old); and 2) that emotional competence in young adulthood (23-24 years old) would reduce risk for anxious-depressive symptoms at the same age after controlling for prior emotional distress in adolescence” (Hallam et al, 2013, para. 1). This study involves the premise that the good life…

Additionally, due to huge loss of cases from including certain variables, I have had to make the difficult decision of excluding many variables and only include spending on crime, spending on race, death penalty for murder, gun permit laws, allowing racists, communists, homosexuals, militarists, and/or atheists to speak. The only independent variable is race, which has been recoded (White=1, Black=0) to exclude other races and just concentrate on Blacks and…

Last, a group of scholars focus on the relationship of partisan polarization and political participation, in particular voter turnout. Unfortunately, only a few studies empirically and rigorously test the polarization’s effect on voter turnout as well as the mass political behavior as a whole. Some articles deal with the topic and present results of analysis, but most of them rely solely on descriptive statistics. Abramowitz and Saunders (2008) conclude that ideological polarization in the…

Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals was a company that had a drug out on the market known as Bendectin. It was advertised as a medicine that would help expecting mothers with the morning sickness that came from their pregnancy. However, it was later found that taking this pill while someone was pregnant might cause problems for the baby upon birth because it might affect the child while it was developing in the womb. Daubert was one of those that were affected by the medicine. They claimed that the drug…

do it for reward. Before the case study, high extrinsic - low intrinsic coaches were predicted to be more controlling decision makers and have negative personality traits. After the results, coaches with a high extrinsic tend to be…

first group was the “no escape” group where they were tied up and shocked, the second group which was called the “escape group” who were also tied up but a panel was attached to their head and they were able to stop the shocks coming toward the on controlling the shocks and they ones they were attached to in the no escape group. The third group was the no harness group who just in a room doing nothing. In the no escape group and escape group received sixty four shocks in ninety seconds…

The first step in creating a predictive model based on regression is to select independent variables that have demonstrated an explanatory relationship to the dependent variable (Waljee, Higgins, and Singal, 2014). The quality of this predictive model is based on the quality of the selection of independent variables. Neural networks emulate biological networks of neurons. These predicative models learn on their own through training with sample input…

Tracking how a business obtain, spends, and invest their financial assets are key indicators for not only external users such as investors and creditors, but internal users such as management departments.
