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…

The present study investigated the possible relationship between self-defeating humor and the use of humor as a coping strategy. It also predicts that the use of humor as a coping strategy is negatively correlated with self-defeating humor Meaning, for example, if an individual has a lower self-defeating humor score, the lower the usage of humor as a coping strategy. However, the results of the present study do not support the idea of a negative correlation. Instead, there is a weak, but…

Statistics Worksheet Part A Question 1 a) Below is the calculation for the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient between the total number of problems correct and the attitude toward test taking. Total no. of problems correct (out of a possible 20): X Attitude toward test taking (out of a possible 100): Y (X - X ̅)² (Y - Y ̅)² (X-X ̅)(Y-Y ̅) 1 17 94 1.96 204.49 20.02 2 13 73 6.76 44.89 17.42 3 12 59 12.96 428.49 74.52 4 15 80 0.36 0.09 -0.18 5 16 93 0.16 176.89 5.32 6 14 85 2.56 28.09…

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…

In the following two studies, Vrij and Mann (2001) and Mann, Vrij, and Bull (2004), respectively, researched police officers abilities to detect deception in real-life, high-stakes scenarios. They also looked at the behavioural cues which were used to come to these conclusions. In the first study by Vrij and Mann (2001), participants were comprised of 52 police officers in the Netherlands, 28 male and 24 female. The officers had an average age of 30, around 9 years of service, and rated…

this chart, there was a positive correlation between the years of high school completed and the income of the respondent. The more years of high school that were completed led to a higher income for the respondent. This was calculated by a Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient. The values that were found were positive with r=0.208, n=906, p=0.000. This is summarized by the scatterplot above. The Sig value strengthens the argument for a positive correlation between years and school and a…

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…
