E-participation

and where I went to contain the samples. They kept asking questions about the places that I obtained the bacteria and some seemed amazed at which slide corresponded with which place. It is important to have a compelling group to encourage active participation and learning about the group topic. Another action that I viewed as one of my strengths was that I was thoughtful about people’s preferences about some aspects within the group. I taped the slides closed to make sure nobody accidentally…

I went with an expectation that I already know what the movie was about because I have read about the Tuskegee study before. This movie showed what the Tuskegee study was about. This study was conducting an experiment among black men in Tuskegee, Alabama who had syphilis but without treating them. However, while watching I was very surprised at what I saw. The thing that surprised me the most was that it was a black doctor and nurse, who encouraged the men to participate in this experiment…

more fully active in their classes, while Business students were mostly less consistently involved. Also, the Mathematics & Science students were split depending on each individual. One of the most interesting trends was the correlation between participation levels and their responses to our fifth question: “Why did you choose your major?” Most of the responses fell into two categories, either they were interested in their…

222). Two methods, advanced notification and incentives, are enablers to encourage involvement. One participation barrier is the lack of awareness of a survey (Webber, Lynch, & Oluku, 2013, p. 72). Accordingly, the corporation and researchers must strategically advertise the survey to generate interest and encourage participation. Likewise, informing potential participants with advanced letters, which announces the forthcoming survey and its importance, is a method…

The experiment consisted of a total sample size of n=145 subjects all of whom were current GVSU students ages 18-28 years old. Inclusion factors for subjects included knowledge of their overall Grade Point Average (GPA) and had to be current GVSU students. Subjects were not eligible for the study (exclusion factors) if: they were non-GVSU students (due to inconsistent grading scales across universities), if they were incoming freshman (incomplete overall GPA), and if they did not know their…

1. All subjects will have two meetings regarding the informed consent form. The first will be a group session before the medical testing and will discuss the study purpose, goals, design, and what their participation entails. Furthermore, study design will be explained thoroughly such as what placebo-controlled means and what a sentinel block is. The second meeting will be a one-on-one session with subjects after completing their medical tests. This will give subjects sufficient time to read the…

In order to conduct this survey, the sample will consist of 50 participants who will complete a questionnaire that is related to the research topic which is how communication via text messages affects satisfaction in romantic relationships. The participants will be students from Vanier college, because the survey itself will be conducted in the campus during Fall semester in 2016. In previous studies, most of the samples chosen by researchers did not contain equivalent number of females and…

If someone is silent: • Use the technique of doing “pair shares” instead of direct questions to individuals. • Have each person share, “popcorn” around the room, so everyone is expected to participate. • When using fictional examples to illustrate points, use this person’s name as part of the positive example. This can draw a person in and make them feel included. Be sure to never use them in a negative aspect. If someone is a “know-it-all”: • Thank them and change the subject. • Ask…

The topic that I am analyzing is known as the foot in the door (FITD) technique. The FITD technique is defined as getting someone to agree to a small favor in hopes that the participant feels helped and/or cared for; the moment the initial favor is fulfilled, the person follows up by asking for an even bigger request. Two researchers in 1966 named Freedman & Fraser discovered the FITD technique. From their research, they concluded that it is one of the most effective compliance techniques. Also,…

The Effects of Inclusion after Ostracism on Individuals’ Levels of Belonging, Control, Self-Esteem, and Meaningful Existence Ostracism, which is the act of being excluded and rejected in social settings, is a powerful aversive experience. There is a growing body of literature in this area that shows ostracism to produce a number of negative short- and long-term negative consequences toward an individual’s wellbeing. The temporal need-threat model by Williams (2001) specifically explained the…
