In addition to your assigned article you will need to use your textbooks or other resources to adequately talk about the specific aspects of having validity in a research study. Validity is affected by low statistical power. As stated above, a power analysis was unable to be conducted for this study. Grove, Burns & Gray (2016) state: Low statistical power increases the probability of concluding that there is no significant…
Volcanoes are generally found in three locations: constructive and destructive plate boundaries, as well as hotspots. The most explosive and potentially the most hazardous volcanoes are found on destructive, convergent plate boundaries. Here, one plate subducts beneath the other generating intense heat and pressure, melting the rock and sediment to form an acidic magma chamber. This viscous magma is resistant to flow and therefore results in violent, dangerous…
Tambora is plate tectonics. Islands in this chain along Indonesia are located along the convergent plate boundary of the Eurasian and Australian plates. A convergent boundary is the place where two tectonic plates collide. This can be oceanic-oceanic, oceanic-continental, or continental-continental. In the case of Mount Tambora, the Australian plate slides below the Eurasian…
INTRODUCTION The science of magneto hydrodynamics (MHD) deals with geophysical, astrophysical and engineering problems since many years. This subject has attracted attention of many researchers in the MHD flow on Newtonian fluids on plate, cones and disks. Hari R [30] investigated the chemical and radiation effects on MHD casson fluid flow past an oscillating vertical plate embedded in porous medium. Subbaiah Naidu [70] studied the effect of Hall current on free convective flow of stratified…
The location I chose for this assignment is my home county, San Diego. San Diego is known for having the best weather in the United States, which it can attribute to its geology. San Diego is also well known for consistent droughts; however, its current unique geography is a result of ancient rivers and seas depositing Cretaceous and Tertiary sedimentary rocks. As a result of these ancient rivers, “San Diego County can be divided between three distinct geomorphic regions: the Coastal Plain…
The Inner Core, Outer Core, Mantle, Asthenosphere, and Lithosphere, or, as more colloquially known, the five layers of the Earth. Although each layer is important, each living thing resides on the Lithosphere, which happens to rest on the Asthenosphere, the upper part of the Mantle. Forces caused by these two layers both contribute to the theory of Plate Tectonics, which happens to be interconnected to Earthquakes and Volcanoes. Without Plate Tectonics, the other two occurrences simply cannot…
overgeneralization. A potential threat to the internal validity of this study was the short amount of time between the start of the study and the onset of the participant’s LCVA. The participant’s performance on tasks within the study might have been influenced by spontaneous recovery. Other similar studies investigating the use of SPT for AOS utilized participants that were at least one year post-onset to control for threats to internal validity. External validity is also compromised because…
O’Brien and Ellsworth choose this design because it permitted an accurate internal validity by allowing casual inferences. The procedure begins with the experimenter randomly assigning participants to the two levels of the operational independent variable, next (uniformed of the final piece of chocolate) and last (informed of the final…
sampling was not applicable. It suggests that the participants were already willing to change. 2. Internal validity is the estimated fact about implications regarding cause-effect. It is only pertinent in studies that try to establish a causal relationship (KnowledgeBase, 2006). External validity is the degree to which the results of a study can be generalized to other situations and people. Validity is important because it observes research findings. If results from a study are not…
The news article did not capture some key details of this experimental study which can possibly lower the validity of the study. For instance, it did not report exactly how the participants were distributed into each condition. In other words, the article did not mention that participants were assigned to meditation sessions or nourishment sessions randomly.…
