The target population that he authors wanted to study was children in Elementary School. The population from which the sample was taken represented the appropriate people because the authors studied children from fourth through sixth grade (elementary school). The average age of children who participated was 10 years, and 26% of them were from public schools, 26% from a public school, and 7% from a parochial school. The schools indicated that 60% of children were Black, 26% were White, and 14%…
Company Value: Job Performance: Citizenship and Task Behavior Company value is highly correlated, with statistical significance, to citizenship behavior. This supports our hypothesis that states, “If employees feel connected, and apart, of their company’s culture they are more likely to be aligned with organizations mission and values.” Employees who feel connected to their organization often go above and beyond in their job tasks, and exceed goals set by their organization. These employees…
The value of the correlation coefficient is found to be insignificant at 5 per cent level. Secondly, the correlation between ROI and QR is 0.90 which is also found to be insignificant at 5 per cent level. It reveals that there is no correlation between the two variables. It is evident from these two ratios that the lower the company's margin of safety to the short term creditors, the greater is the profitability of the concern. Thirdly, the correlation coefficient between ROI and WCR is…
Balance Balance is evaluated on 7 items. Again, points are administered for independence and strength of performance of individual actions, such as sitting or standing. Maximum score for this section is 14. The Barthel Index of Activities of Daily Living The Barthel scale (reference) is a ten item index assessing patients Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and morbidity, including: absence or presence or faecal and/or urinary incontinence, as well needing help with grooming, toilet use,…
Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) UWES was developed by Schaufeli and his colleagues (Schaufeli et al., 2002). Schaufeli was working in the occupational health psychology unit at Utrecht University. He argued that work engagement is the assumed opposite of burnout (Schaufeli et al., 2002). UWES is closely related to the Maslach burnout inventory (MBI) (C. Maslach, Jackson, & Leiter, 1996; Christina Maslach, Jackson, & Leiter, 1986). The Maslach-Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS) was…
Procedure The study will be submitted to Northern Illinois University’s Institutional Review Board for approval. Once approval is granted and a middle school has agreed to participate in the study, a letter will be sent home to parents explaining the study and that their consent is required for their child(ren) to participate. All students whose parents return the consent form will be discussed among school staff in order to make pairs. Teachers, social workers, and paraprofessionals will…
High School football is something that can’t be just described in just a couple of words. When you go to a High School football game in Texas you can see faithful supporters filling the stands which are waving their hands and homemade signs in support of their team. You hear the cheers and screams from the crowd. You can smell the hot dogs, burgers, pizza, pretzels, and popcorn from the concession stands. The marching band playing loud to match the noise and energy of the crowd. This memory…
Many herbicides and pesticides are thought to be involved in teratogenic, or embryonic development disturbing, mechanisms. Therefore it is important to study the effects of these chemicals on humans and wildlife in the event of contact or contamination. Case-Control Study of Maternal Residential Atrazine Exposure and Male Genital Malformations by Agopian in 2012 is one study that examines an herbicide, atrazine, in relation to birth defects of male genital development. Atrazine is one of the…
To determine if mood state changed from pretest to posttest a paired samples t-test was calculated on mood state. Mood state changed from pretest (M=27.7, SD=5.8), to posttest (M=30.1, SD=4.8), t (43) = -4.8, p = 0.00. To test the hypothesis that HAI increases mood, a one way ANOVA was calculated. As displayed in table 1, the effects of conditions had no significant difference on mood in people, F (2, 42) = 1.5, p = 0.23. To test the effect of species, a 2 (species) x 3 (condition) factorial…
Introduction: The purpose of this study is to see if there is a link between the birth weight and gestation of newborn babies with smoking mothers and non- smoking mothers. The significance of this investigation is to find a relationship between the two as it might help with health benefits. The features in the investigation are the relationship between the two sets of data between the birth weight and the gestation period of smoking mothers and non-smoking mothers.
