Communication is the study of social science, a collaborative construction and negotiation of meaning between the self and others as it occurs within cultural contexts. It is the process of using words, sounds, signs, or behaviors to express or exchange information or to express ideas, thoughts, feelings, and so forth, to someone else. The goal of this discourse community is to inform members of the community about new research ideas and understand how people use messages to generate meanings…

The activity that I chose to do with the second grade students was an activity the measured their ability of moderate and vigorous, but also their ability of memorizing the centers they had to chose once they got tag by a classmate. For some, the activity was easy for them because the centers were color coordinated with signs. The students that were not at the second grade level development had challenges remembering the centers. The five students were engaged in the activity and trying their…

There are many research approaches available in psychology. Experimental and correlational research designs are just two of the various approaches taken into consideration for researchers. Each approach is useful and practical when applied to the appropriate situation. Though the approaches are used in different scenarios and are different in definition, they also share some similarities. Experimental research design focus is towards testing hypotheses, cause and effect relationships, and…

Discuss what descriptive statistics were used well in the Coffman article Descriptive statistics are is by researchers to describe, compare, and to characterize a relationship. (Polit, 2010) “Descriptive Statistics are used to present quantitative and qualitative descriptions in a manageable form” (Trochim, 2006). Coffman study on the the effects of tangible social support and depression on diabetes self efficacy in Hispanic older adults, demonstrated appropiate and good use of descriptive…

The type of research that will be used to determine the relationship whether low social support among the elderly increases risk of depression is a quantitative observational study. This type of study involves data that can take on numerical values (Salazar, Crosby & Diclemente, 2015). The reason this type of research will be used in this study because it involves measuring frequency of responses or written responses that can be quantified. For instance, in this study the data collection…

Prior to the Scientific Revolution, the only way people accepted ideas about the universe was because it had been passed down based on authority. The people with authority only told you what they wanted you to hear and kept the stories from their past families. As the reading states, “ If only the concerns of the powerful provide the interpretation of historical significance, then much of history will be left out.” The Scientific Revolution brought on a new attitude, because people became more…

Interaction My initial response to the concept of forgiveness therapy for abuse survivors was that it seemed counter-intuitive, as it can be perceived to excuse the abusive behavior and invalidate the suffering of the victim. However, this impression fails to acknowledge the therapeutic definition of forgiveness as used in therapy, a release of resentment (Reed & Enright, 2006). Upon review of this definition of forgiveness therapy, I concluded that it was in line with other therapeutic ideals…

Intro: Does color affect memorization? Many advertisements you may see on tv use bright colors instead of dark ones but why? Well for this project I will conduct an experiment figuring out whether color can affect one’s memory. And I predict that color does affect one’s memory because if “warmer” colors stand out compared to “cooler” colors then it would be easier for the human brain to remember. And based on research one way that color can affect memorization is that if a word is printed in…

All these explanations are plausible and insightful in analyzing the paradox in China. However, one factor that is not normally stressed is politics: whether the quality of government influences people’s happiness and whether the implementation and enforcement provide more satisfaction to the general public are open to interpretation. Derek Bok illustrates how political factors impact happiness in the United States and discusses potential policies that can be implemented to promote happiness…
