Sample size

addition to the ANOVA test, paired sample t test was also used to look at the two conditions. Significant differences were found between three digits versus nine digits, p < 0.01, five digits versus seven digits, p < 0.05], five digits versus nine digits, p < 0.01, and seven digits versus nine digits, p <…

understand which factors can influence the way people who score low or high on openness react to social media information.

Article Critique In the article, Case management to reduce risk of cardiovascular disease in a county health care system, Ma et al. (2009) acknowledge that given the hundreds of billions spent in addressing the cardiovascular disease (CVD), embracing innovative approaches is necessary to supplement the conventional healthcare models. Besides, they recognize that the CVD, along with its causative factors, affects individuals across different ethnic, social class, and racial groups. However, they…

The findings of this study on neurocognitive performance of high school athletes who incur multiple concussions suggest athletes with a history of 3 or more concussions are still impaired on cognitive tasks and concussion symptoms [6].The authors used a cohort study design, the IVs were concussion groups (0,1,2,>3), and time ( baseline, 3 days, 8 days), the DVs were neurocognitive test scores measured by Immediate Post Concussion Assessment, cognitive testing (ImPact), neurocognitive test…

line of thinking is correct. The main reason this form of research is so scarce is because of the costs associated with such a research undertaking and the high likelihood of attrition in the sample over an extended period of time. Another large gap in the research is the lack of racial diversity in the samples of the studies. Every study predominantly featured Caucasian participants; other racial groups were limited in their representation. One factor to consider is that Caucasians on average…

that “U.S. students suffering from Internet addiction: study Crackberry is no joke.” After assessing both the report and the study neither of these causal claim is warranted on the basis of this study due to problems with the representativeness, sample size, and the erroneous methodology…

Define the problem/research question The purpose of the study was to look at how African-American students experience racial microaggression, and how it impacts them. The study also looks at how African-American students react to the microaggression, and how it affects campus climate. Relevant topic The topic is important. African-American students are faced with a lot of challenges when it comes to completing their education. Several believe that they are not welcomed at some…

Single-case designs are useful when researchers want to examine an individual’s unique behavior rather than focusing on the behavior of a group of participants; this makes case experiments an optimal technique for both clinical and counseling psychologists as well as behavioral analysts. While the name implies that only one subject is being studied throughout the whole experiment, this design can accommodate several individuals; although, typically this design is not used on large groups of…

Potential Affects on Child Depression, Anxiety, and Attributions examines how the treatment of children varies across a broad spectrum of variables. These variables include age, gender, severity of punishment, ethnicity, family income, parental age, and size of family. The assessment of these variables are analyzed via three Attributional Style tests that assess how each independent variable interacts with the dependent variable, which is expressed by how a child responds to punishment and/or…

Other limitations may be due to the fact that some teens may be reluctant to report such personal information and answer such sensitive questions (Warf, et al., 2013). Recommendations Recommendations for future research would include large sampler sizes with better sampling strategies to represent more of the population. Surveying homeless youth who do not have access to services to compare results and see if those who are not accessing services are at a higher risk. Continue to identify risk…
