Emma/Amalie- These are the quirky twins who posess the “gift”- - that means that they are mediums and could see into the spirit world. Amalie has the gift more, and never speaks unless through Emma, which is why they are tetnically two people in…

We are always in the process of constructing our own reality. It's subject to reconstruction and it allows for change. There's no universal truth, it's a matter of interpretation. These researchers are looking to uncover rules not laws. An individuals view is to do with a subject and they embrace the subjective. They say the social world is meaningful where positivists say it isn't meaningful. The researcher always presents a specific version of reality rather than one that can be…

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…

Quantitative and qualitative research methods are used in leadership in school administration to analyze the opinions and perceptions of educators. Quantitative research methods clarify understanding through experimentation or survey to measure the relationships between variables (Creswell, 2014). Quantitative educational research methods document effectiveness of standards based practices in educational administration. Quantitative research methods are good for determining the relationships…

S ocial behavior ubiquitous in nature. An evolutionary product of sociality in animal populations is group liv- ing. Group living societies benefit from improved success in inter-group competition, protection from predations, enhanced mating opportunity, foraging success and group defence [1]. On the other hand, group living is also associated with the costs of elevated disease burden due to higher frequency of contact between hosts [2]. Recently, it has been suggested that the formation of…

Observation of a 5-year-old Purpose The purpose of this observational study is to gain perspective of the various theories of development that were taught in class. Also, to help the observer understand that observational research is complex and difficult to describe a five-year-old female child objectively. The observation took place in the child’s home for one hour while her parents were present during the study thus, the mother can sign the permission slip. Descriptive information The child…

When reading a scientific article, there are many things that one should understand. While scientific articles might not always be easy to comprehend, they provide data and evidence based on what the study set out to find. They use different tests and methods to prove whether their hypothesis is correct or not. They are written around a study and are formatted in APA format. Lay articles on the other hand are a brief summary of a study. It reports the findings but does not have any evidence into…

assumptions must be valid or the study is worthless (Leedy & Ormrod, 2010). Creswell (2013) postulated four fundamental philosophical assumptions. Assumption 1: Ontological assumption: Concerns the nature of reality, that is, a view that qualitative study is assuming the notion of several truths, such as the use of several types of evidence in themes using the actual words of different participants and presenting different perspectives (Creswell, 2013). The ontological assumptions made for this…

The article, Incidental Haptic Sensations Influence Social Judgments and Decisions, contains three paired experiments that test whether or not primary tactile sensations influence cognitive processing in either aspect-specific ways or metaphor specific-ways (Ackerman et al., 2010). In experiments 1 and 2, researchers hypothesized that variable weight unconsciously affects decision-making (Ackerman et al., 2010).). For experiment 1, the weight of a clipboard affected participants’ evaluation on…
