While the name implies that only one subject is being studied throughout the whole experiment, this design can accommodate several individuals; although, typically this design is not used on large groups of…

S ocial behavior ubiquitous in nature. An evolutionary product of sociality in animal populations is group liv- ing. Group living societies benefit from improved success in inter-group competition, protection from predations, enhanced mating opportunity, foraging success and group defence [1]. On the other hand, group living is also associated with the costs of elevated disease burden due to higher frequency of contact between hosts [2]. Recently, it has been suggested that the formation of…

reading a scientific article, there are many things that one should understand.

Lay articles on the other hand are a brief summary of a study. It reports the findings but does not have any evidence into why…

assumptions must be valid or the study is worthless (Leedy & Ormrod, 2010). Creswell (2013) postulated four fundamental philosophical assumptions. Assumption 1: Ontological assumption: Concerns the nature of reality, that is, a view that qualitative study is assuming the notion of several truths, such as the use of several types of evidence in themes using the actual words of different participants and presenting different perspectives (Creswell, 2013). The ontological assumptions made for this…

The article, Incidental Haptic Sensations Influence Social Judgments and Decisions, contains three paired experiments that test whether or not primary tactile sensations influence cognitive processing in either aspect-specific ways or metaphor specific-ways (Ackerman et al., 2010). In experiments 1 and 2, researchers hypothesized that variable weight unconsciously affects decision-making (Ackerman et al., 2010).). For experiment 1, the weight of a clipboard affected participants’ evaluation on…
