Hypothesis

1. Experiment to test the Sapir Whorf hypothesis (relates to chapter 13) My experiment: The experiment that I would preform would be coming up with about 5 of the same words and write them in English and write them in another language. I would gather a 4 people and hand them each a stack of 10 cards containing the words written in English and the other languages. I would then ask them say what they thought the meaning was for each one and how they interpret them. I would have English speakers…

Hypothesis Nonverbal behaviors speak louder than words, therefore a couple that expresses positive nonverbal behaviors frequently is more likely to display satisfaction within the relationship. After the literature reviewed I reached the following hypothesis: H1: There is a correlation between the nonverbal behavior and relational satisfaction. Method Rationale for the Method: I would use an experiment in which couples would be given different scenarios to discuss. The advantage is that…

Alternative Hypothesis: A change in allele frequency will have an effect on the fitness of a polar bear in having the dominant long fur. The figure above shows the difference between the frequency of hair length throughout 5 trials in three different simulations.…

First of all, let’s start with the definition of Dream Hypothesis. “The dream hypothesis is to claim or demand that it provides some basic evidence and the senses we trust to differentiate reality from illusion cannot be trusted completely, and therefore, any thought that we think or feel or have senses should at the very least be carefully examined and rigorously tested to determine whether it is, in fact, a reality” (From the abstract). Basically, we have to revise rigorously before we make…

2.1 The Rational Expectations Hypothesis The rational expectations hypothesis is the hypothesis that, when forming expectations about any variable, people will make optimal use of the available information. This information includes the actual value of certain variables and, more widely, the nature or structure of the world in which people are operating. Let the value a variable ‘y’ takes in period t depend upon, or be a function f (.) of, the value of other variables, x1, x2 and x3 have…

Schouten seeks a way to make this introductory class more conducive to retaining women. Due to the lack of empirical evidence, Schouten argues that the best approach may be a trial and error approach and introduces the Stereotype Threat Hypothesis (STH). The hypothesis states that women know they are expected to preform at a lower level, which causes anxiety that makes them underperform and confirm the stereotype. Then, the underperformance causes women…

INTRODUCTION: Many processes in the world can be studied and analyzed; everything is a process in one way or another. One system that might not be considered a “process” at first glance, but which operates as one, is the education system. If you consider graduation rates, literacy rates, and the general intelligence of an educated populace as the variables being tested, one could determine if the education system is in control or reliable. We originally wanted to perform this study to compare…

The diet heart hypothesis suggests that diets high in cholesterol and low in polyunsaturated fatty acids raise serum total and increase the risk of heart disease. Numerous scientific studies have made a connection between the risk of too much fat and specific diseases, such as heart disease. Some fat is necessary in a healthy diet. Fat gives the body energy and helps the body absorb vitamins. Dietary fat plays a major role in the bodies cholesterol levels. Not all fats are the same and one…

There are number of hypothesis about what influences human mate choice. In the paper “Chickens prefer beautiful humans”, Ghirlanda, Jansson, and Enquist (2004) claimed that human mate preference is based on discrimination between male and female faces, which leads to a bias in the nervous system. They argued that such bias is not species-specific; therefore, an animal can develop a preference towards one animal above the other, even if it is a member of different specie. To test that, Ghirlanda…

Hyde’s objectivity follows the hegemonic Eurocentric, masculinist knowledge-validation process, which is the only process I have learned throughout my education to validate claims. This process led me to fully accept Hyde’s Gender Similarities Hypothesis as a truth and abandon the claim that girls are physically weak, only capable of simple tasks and lack motivational achievement, whereas boys were capable of higher cognition, problem solving, and leadership skills (Hyde 88). These false truths…
