5.What is the purpose and recommended use of the measure? The BDI-II is a self-report questionnaire that measures the severity of depression with 21 items (Bringmann, Lemmens, Huibers, Borsboom & Tuerlinckx, 2015). The highest score that can occur on this measure is 63 (highest severity of depressive symptoms), and the lowest score that can be achieved is 0. The items were designed to identify symptoms of depression as defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth…
It is not uncommon for a patient to forget to take their medication at their prescribed time intervals. For many patients, it is difficult for them to remember to take their medication or even remember if they have already taken their dosage. This problem of under or overdosing threatens the health of these patients. For seniors, approximately 1 out of 10 hospital admissions are because of incorrect use of medications. Not taking medication correctly or forgetting to take medication can have…
This paper will seek to explain the difference between quantitative and qualitative data, as well as how quantitative data can be collected using continuous and discrete variables. Parametric and nonparametric statistics will be discussed in relation to different variables, and how they can be used to analyze collected data. Examples connected to personality testing will be given and related to possible best uses for various types of information and data. Additional information may be presented…
The educational level is the independent variable and income is the dependent. Therefore, the expected results anticipated statistical significance for every dependent variable’s p-value. With a ninety-five percent confidence interval, only the dependent variables Associate 's degree through Doctorate degree prove to hold a statistical significance. From these unexpected results the f-statistic for all the dependent variables held to be statistically significant at 0.0000, as…
randomized between both genders. A mounted probe was placed against the body of the lizard with Velcro tape before the acclimation period. Thus, for each focal male, recorded spectral reflectance of both regions (6x in 5min intervals) during social interactive period; each interval was about 5nm apart in wavelength with maximum colour spectra for everyone. Digital videography determined the maximum physiological colours during social interactions. Additive colours from these digital images were…
additional Lithium ions; but this swelling will break the electrical contacts in the anode inflicting failure for the battery and therefore the instrument during which the battery has been used. There are 2 problems: silicon's response to Lithium interval and its unfavourable interaction with the liquid solution. Silicon's volume increases dramatically as it stores Lithium . Such swelling causes stress on the anode structure, eventually leading to degradation and device breakdown.…
period with participants doing both alcohol and sleep deprivation tests; day one used for practice, day two for alcohol and day three for sleep deprivation. The alcohol experiment was conducted by giving the participants doses of alcohol at hourly intervals, with performance tests done after 30 minutes. With The sleep deprivation being conducted in a similar method, but after the fifth hour the performance tests were conducted every two hours for the next 20 hours. In order to remove any bias,…
M and M’s Molding • Liquid chocolate is poured into molds to create chocolate centers of the candy. • After the candies are formed they are tumbled to make the center smooth and rounded. Coating • When the centers harden, they are transported via conveyer belt to the coating area. Then the chocolate goes through a process called panning • The chocolates are rotated in large containers as candy made of sugar and corn syrup is sprayed onto them. • Color is finally added to a finishing syrup…
As a Speech-Language Pathology Assistant (SLPA) my duties and responsibilities were that of offering special rehabilitation to children with any type of disorders, from speech to learning disabilities. It was to improve their overall day-to-day function in their home, and in society. Many of the children in which I treated all differed in the type of behavior they presented, the therapy and or modification of their reformation would greatly fluctuate depending on the case of each child. Each…
In How to Read Literature like a Professor, Foster says that most pieces of work are centered on politics and that the books job is to persuade and convince the audience that what they are trying to get across is the honest and true way to go about things. In the case of Gulliver’s Travels, Jonathan Swift dose just that, by starting off subtle and having everything fall together in the end. Gulliver’s first adventure to the Island Lilliput is what sparks a chain reaction that leads to Gulliver…
