Sociology, Behavior Modification, Abnormal Psychology, etc. This way the researcher will be provided with a sufficient amount of completed surveys from a culturally diverse sample of the population of East Texas Baptist University. When considering sample sizes,…

If we were going to conduct a similar study, then ideally we would increase our number of movies watched, thus increasing our sample size and limiting the potential of our results being due to chance. Additionally, in future studies, researchers could break away from Disney movies and begin to analyze other forms of media outlets such as DreamWorks, Nickelodeon, and Pixar. Then researchers…

1. I started the activity on 9/9/16 at 3:06 pm and completed it on 9/11/16 at 5:45 pm. 2. I had to look up cryptomnesia, which is when one forgets to cite a source because of losing track of a source and then remembering the thought as an original idea (Cryptomnesia, 2011). 3. I know that the source is scholarly and credible because it was published by a well-known and respected journal and has the authors’ credentials. 4. The author is a respected authority on the topic and has published…

In Willems et al’s study of proprioception deficits among athletes with high rates of recurring lateral ankle sprains, they found that almost all of their subjects tended to under shoot the needed ankle during the test (Willems et al., 2002). In this study they had 4 groups of athletes to study. The control group were individuals who had no prior ankle injuries (Willems et al., 2002).

the model fit statistics will be assessed. If the model has a good fit statistics, the best item for each domain will be selected according to the distribution of the threshold values across the latent scale and the discrimination value; item that has threshold values cross the whole latent scale and high discrimination value will be selected. Sample Size Graded response IRT model requires 250 subjects to be estimated. However, approximately 500 subjects are recommended to get more accurate…

According to the course text, here are many strengths and weakness of field research. These strengths and weakness include: validity, reliability, and generalizability. Conducting field studies of behavior is more appropriate than trying to measure behavior through surveys. For example, the counts of seatbelts use or theft by shoppers obtain through observation are not subject to the effects of social desirability that we may expect in survey questions about those specific behaviors. Next,…

a) Sample selection size varies for each experiment, depending on how large the whole group under investigation is or how much time it would take to sample a certain group (Rathburn, MacConnadchie, Zizler, Hill, & Moorman, 2012, p. 72) . Sample selection is important part of a studies experimental design because it usually decides how valid a study is. The validity of the sample size and study is usually decided through the peer-review process, which is one of the reasons why the peer review…

intellectual disability their IQ is below an 80. An example of mode would be an IQ score of 70 being repeated most frequently out of other scores. 6. “The range is simply the numerical difference between the highest and the lowest scores in the distribution. It is calculated by subtracting the lowest score from the highest score.” (McMillian, 2012, p.127) According to McMillian, range is when you have several scores from a measure and you subtract the lowest score from the highest…
