Conformity influences behavior in ways that might never be expected. From deindividuation to normative social influence, Kim & Hommel (2015) and Koban & Wager (2016) conducted experiments to explore conformity in more depth. Each of the articles that present these experiments on conformity are reviewed and compared to reach the goal of demonstrating research regarding conformity. Kim & Hommel (2015) tested the similarity between the actions an individual observes and that individual’s own…

Essentialism is the idea that only good theories are those that give the ultimate explanation for phenomena in terms of their underlying essences. Operationism is the idea that concepts in scientific theories must in some way be grounded in observable events that can be measured. This idea removes all feelings and intuitions of a particular individual because it is not replicable by others. Removing the feelings from an experiment allows the experiment to be tested by anyone who can carry out…

Although this is the first time I heard about the Toulmin model, the information resources helped me to understand how this model works. The Toulmin Model constructs or analyzes a persuasive argument. Its name provides from its creator Stephen Toulmin. The Toulmin Method breaks an argument into six essential parts (claim, evidence, warrant, backing, rebuttal, and qualifier) that weight and support points for both for and against the argument. The Toulmin Model provides an excellent method for…

Theory Description Watson wrote many books as her mid-range theory developed. Her first published work, Nursing: The Philosophy and Science of Caring(1979), provided her students with a framework on how to care for patients. The carative factors and caritas model were based on Yalom’s eleven curative factors. Medicine is curative, so distinguishing nursing as a profession based on caring principles helps to delineate nursing from medicine as a separate science (Alligood, 2014, p. 86). Watson…

I believe that in society today, science is more beneficial than religion because it is more logical and creates advances to our society and the people in it. Scientific theories are based off information and research done by scientists, unlike the theories in religion. Science has also changed the way we live and interact with people. when you look at, and compare, the way science and religion deal with a medical problem you find that science is more focused on…

could be considered as illegal would be going over the speed limit, but it is never more over ten miles per hour nor does it happen regularly. To develop a better understanding of why I’m not a criminal I will work through the theories by applying them to my life. Deterrence theory is one of the more well-known theoretical perspectives. Deterrence is where they believe that punishment reduces crime among the general population. They also state that committing crimes reside in everyone. Which…

Spiritual Journey For my paper, I will be covering and exploring scientific theories that are then applied to my personal life experiences to form a sort of hybrid story/academic research paper, which I feel suits perfectly my strong character traits of constant hesitation. I will bring to mention my personal philosophies, past/present dependency problems, acute depression, and individual spiritual experiences which were able to defy my understanding of science, and thus exist without…

had arrived in India. He later goes on to discuss theories as to where the native inhabitants came from. Some suggesting that they came from 'thirteen lost tribes of Israel mentioned in the bible ' (Katz 10). This first theory came from Lord Kingsbrough. The second theory suggesting that they came from the American content, this theory raised from a man named Fernando Amenghino. The rest of the second chapter continues to discuss these theories concluding that the ideas will continue to be a…

1.) If you were the experimenter in charge, would you have done this study? Would you have terminated it earlier? Would you have conducted a follow-up study? Why or why not? How would you have changed any of these experiments? Or would you have not changed anything? If I was the experimenter in charge I could of never have done this study as I found it very unethical. The reason I say this is because, in the movie they treated these prisoners very badly and would humiliate them any chance that…

My mentors during undergraduate and professional training taught me that learning is a process of personal growth. As a teacher and mentor at the University of North Carolina, I have come to appreciate the profound impact that my own teachers and mentors had on this process. It is now clear to me that I succeeded most when my teachers developed an interactive, safe, and intellectually stimulating mentoring environment. By allowing me to ask questions and attempt to answer those questions myself,…
