Efficient-market hypothesis

behavior in children?” The independent variable will be violent and nonviolent video games, and the dependent variable is how much aggression was demonstrated. I will be using the naturalistic observation and experimentation methods to answer this hypothesis. According to Openstak (2014) “the greatest benefit of natural observation is the validity, or accuracy of information collected unobtrusively in a natural setting.” (p.44) During the naturalistic observation we chose people who bought…

Exam 1 Psych 301W 1. The two reasons it is important to go to the original source (i.e., the research report) when evaluating a media report of research is to learn more about the methods and the procedures of the research. The methods section explains the materials that were used in the research. The procedure section explains how the research was conducted and how the data was collected. 2. An experiment is used to understand the cause of a phenomenon by describing the three conditions for…

Section 6.3 will discuss are financial incentives the best approach to retaining staff. Finally, Section 6.4 will discuss the adequacy of benefits communications. Table 10: Summary of Research Questions, Hypotheses and Results Research Question Hypothesis Result (RQ1) What are the most important benefits to the employees of the organization? (H1) Financial incentives are the most productive method and most important method of motivation. Partially Disproved (RQ2) Are financial incentives the…

showed no greater difficulty with decision making compared to people who reported less close friends (M = 2.23, S = 1.57), r = .03, p = .503. Thus, there is no support for the research hypothesis, as people with more close friends are not significantly likely to have difficulty with indecision. My second hypothesis was that people who are in a fraternity or sorority would have greater difficulty with decision-making. People in a fraternity or sorority (M = .18. S = .38) showed no greater…

started by the teacher giving us the required materials. A student in the group drawn different lines with different colors. Another student put a termite on each different lines. At this point, we can formulate a hypothesis, which is that termites follow any line. To test our hypothesis, we placed a single termite at the beginning of a green line, blue and red. After an observation, we noticed the termite followed only the green line, from the beginning to the end. The last step of our…

1. Havasupai Tribe’s Experiment Hypothesis: Results can show in DNA Havasupai Tribe gene pool affects the remote location. The foundation at the high rate of type-2 diabetes. Havasupai Tribe restricted gene pool have possible other conditions in their DNA. Schizophrenia, anxiety, depression. Are they possible inbreeding the reason a restricted gene pool? Tribes DNA compares to DNA different races, species. The Methods of Research: Use existing data: Number Havasupai Tribal members that have…

improvements needed (Bassuk & Washington, 2013). The third step is the formulation of hypotheses, where the investigator attempts to make educated guesses or predictions of answers to the identified problem. According to Neville-Neil (2013), a hypothesis may be true or false, but it must be a testable idea that leads to the establishment of a feasible solution to the problem.…

Throughout history, our understanding of neurological sciences has vastly improved alongside the examination and research of C. elegans. Through their ease of accessibility, C. elegans, have become a staple organism in discovering the mechanisms in which the nervous system promotes survival (Allen et al. 2015). The C. elegans’ structural integral is very straightforward, consisting of 302 neurons, with 60 of them being sensory neurons (Pieczynski 2016). Thanks to this simplicity, we can easily…

During three of my four years of high school I took various forms of a biology class, beginning with “Biology Honors” my freshman year and moving on to “IB Biology HL I” in my junior year, followed by “IB Biology HL II” senior year. I recall freshman year paying little to no attention to the lectures I received in class. Instead, I’d write down song lyrics in my biology notebook and talk to the friends sitting next to me. Every exposition on photosynthesis or Latin nomenclature sailed through…

Galileo vs. Plato: The Debate to Achieve Neutrality Whether it is democracy, electing officers, or asking the audience on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, people tend to trust masses. A possible reasoning behind this presumption is: if the majority people think something, then it is probably true or best. While some authors, historians, philosophers, and other such experts agreed with such though, others have attempted to come up with a different solution in finding what is best for society. In…
