affecting the extremity on the opposite side of the body. Measures of daily and domestic activities measure the result and not how the task is performed, for example, with the other extremity. Yet, this result indicates lesser importance of this factor on functional autonomy. In aspect of these findings, future research must most notably investigate the relationship of balance and transfers, and how these as well as their relationship to health related quality of life. Also studies must include larger samples and exclude time since stroke as a factor. In sum, the relationship of age, time since stroke, and motor function indices balance and hand and wrist function was a significant predictor of ADL, measured using the Barthel In-dex. Yet only balance was a significant independent predictor, thus the relationship of bal-ance and aspects of specific items of the Barthel Index, as well as health related quality of life must be investigated and potentially comprehensive therapy programs aimed to im-prove functional autonomy should predominantly focus on improving balance…

Summary of Results The predictor variable, I would apply for a job with a female CEO or boss, had a skewness of -2.54 and a kurtosis of 4.57. The predictor variable, I would vote for a female president, had a skewness of -2.43 and a kurtosis of 5.57. The spearman’s correlation between the predictor variable, I would apply for a job with a female CEO or bass and the outcome variables, IAT scores, was 0.075 and had a significance of 0.726. The spearman’s correlation between the predictor…

As discussed in class, there are five controversial predictors when it comes to employment testing. Those five predictors are drug testing, polygraphs, integrity tests, graphologies, and genetic screening. Each of the predictors has their own set of controversies, but integrity testing is the predictor that caught my attention. Integrity tests are predictors that assess personality traits in future employees, such as honesty, trustworthiness, and dependability. If the individual is found to…

The following is a synopsis of articles looking into the issues to what we know and do not know about which are related to motivational predictors and perceived barriers associated with follow-up colorectal cancer (CRC) surveillance in newly diagnosed Lynch Syndrome (LS) aged 49 years and younger. Current theory-based claims that CRC surveillance produces benefits in that it is a preventative measure used in early cancer detection and early treatment, reducing CRC morbidity and mortality in…

In this essay it will be argued that Lee. Lijima and Reade’ (2011) study of employees’ preference for performance related pay(PRP): predictors and consequences for organizational citizenship behaviour(OCB) in a Japanese firm. It is a significant while problematic piece of study. The argument will be argued by a critical review of Lee. Lijima and Reade’article, discussing its research methods sample, hypothesis, measures and results. Lee. Lijima and Reade’ paper reports a research about the…

Racial Profiling: Predictors of Public Perception Police interaction with citizens is often the most frequent form of contact. Racial bias by police organizations has become a controversial social issue. This bias is often presented as racial profiling. Racial profiling is described as the practice of using race or ethnicity rather than actual suspicion as a pretext to stop, question or search minorities. While the utility of this practice is debatable, there can be adverse effects on the…

6. Identify and discuss the three greatest predictors of poverty in America. The three greatest predictors of poverty in America stem from an individual’s race or ethnicity, education level, and gender. In regards to race-ethnicity, 12% of whites are poor, 13% of Asian Americans, 25% of Latinos, 26% of African Americans, and 27% of Native Americans. Although whites have the smallest percentage living in poverty, because it is such a dominant group, whites have the most individuals who…

This subject of the loss of voice has to do with the self-confidence girls have during the middle school age. There are many research articles out there that attribute their appearance and the way other people perceive themselves as a way of determining their outlook on things overall. The article I found titled “Concurrent and Longitudinal Predictors of Self-Esteem in Elementary and Middle School Girls” goes into detail of what self-esteem for middle school girls looks like when it comes to the…

One predictor of academic dishonesty that has been researched is the fraud triangle model (Macgregor & Stuebs, 2012). The fraud triangle includes three characteristics needed for cheating to occur which are incentive, opportunity, and rationalization. In the study, the researchers examined the relationship between the fraud triangle model and how this could lead to cheating behaviors. The first proposed component is an incentive. If an incentive is present, students are more likely to want to…
