The present study extends previous research by suggesting that failure and rejection in a specific task may be generalized to other aspects. Specifically, the study demonstrates that people's mood is a joint function of task difficulty and their self-esteem. Such that, participants with low self-esteem reported a significantly worse mood than those with high self-esteem when assigned to the hard anagram condition. This effect was not found with participants that were assigned the easy anagram…

A true experiment, taking place in a natural setting to determine the causal relationship between two things, has many important factors to account for. The experiment administrator must first consider the independent and dependent variables, pre testing and post testing of subjects, and the split between experimental and control groups. These two groups must be equivalent, and the experimental group must be exposed to the treatment, or the independent variable. My true experiment to test…

In the first section of the movie, we can infer from camera angles alone that Sam maintains power over the rest of the black community in the election process. The inference comes from the fact that we, as the viewers, see the speech from another…
