Hypothesis

F. Lin and James A. Kulik, the authors focus their research on media and peer influences. Their research question explores the media’s influence on individuals and the social comparison between how peers affect self-esteem amongst a group. Their hypothesis of the research says that women who are paired up with or in a group with a thinner peer are more likely to be affected negatively. They also hypothesize that women who have boyfriends are less likely to care about a thinner peer and have less…

questions than offers help towards the theory. The third hypothesis is known as the mind-body hypothesis and postulates that the body and the mind, more specifically the consciousness are separate. The brain is part of the body and the mind is separate from the brain the body resides in the physical world while the mind exists outside of space-time.…

(Conservation Commission of Missouri, 2015). This immense variety of environments corresponds with a variety of light sources, colors, frequencies and intensities. The relation of this experiment to the Planarian’s living conditions correlates to the hypothesis tested in this experiment. If light has a higher frequency it is predicted the Planarian will travel the distance of the field diameter quicker, and on the reverse, when a light with a lower frequency is present the Planarian’s movement…

The results of the experiment were valuable in addressing the hypothesis under study. However, future investigations may need to adopt techniques that improve upon those used here. 5a. Now in figure 2. the time between steps 4 and 5 was 1 sec, that means the infants had 1 second to absorb information and answer. Now if we were to increase that time to 10 sec that would mean the infants would have a longer time to absorb information and answer which could lead to a different, more similar…

The hypothesis was proven wrong by the timing and values of the graph. I believe this was caused by the enzyme having to break apart a heightened amount of substrates in the mixed test tubes. This caused the initial data to yield a quicker reaction (on the basest of browning in color) compared to the altered data. The independent variable of this experiment was time, while the dependent variable was the color as the reaction is completely dependent on the duration of time. There were numerous…

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…

number of breaths also decreased. The mean of the average number of breaths is 69.24. The number of breaths in the study ranged from 16 to 135 breaths per minute. The null hypothesis, that the temperature of the water has no effect on the number of breaths per minute, can be rejected. The results support the alternative hypothesis. The control fish number of breaths per minutes remained constant in the study. Goldfish are ectotherms animals; the goldfish body temperature depends on the…

Chemistry is a branch of science that deals with the identification of the substances of which matter is composed. It also involves the properties and the ways in which they interact, combine, and change. Chemistry is important to life. The environment is composed of many chemicals without identification of chemicals we wouldn’t know what chemicals are safe to have around or which chemicals are harmful and dangerous to our bodies. To answer the enduring question, how do we gain knowledge to…

Aim - To investigate how the temperature of water affects how salt dissolves. Prediction - If the temperature is warmer, the more solute will dissolve in the solude. Variables - which variables are you going to: Independent Variable - The temperature of the water. Dependent variable - How much salt is needed to not dissolve in water. Controlled variables - The materials. How will you make it a fair test? - Using a machine to weight the salt and heat the water.…

1. Identify a hypothesis you want to prove. What is the independent and dependent variable? The hypothesis that may or may not be proven is: Does a higher age lead to more polite and relaxed social behaviour? The independent variable is the individual’s age (demographics). The dependent variable is how the individual’s mannerisms in various social situations. 2. Provide a rich description of each setting. Identify the location of your observations, the duration of your observations, what you…
