Statistical significance

Participants were 103 females who ranged in age from 18 to 23 years old age (M=21.1, SD=1.7) from a small public college in New England. Participants were primarily Caucasian (84.5%), and the other participants were Hispanic (9.7%), African-American (4.9%), and Asian-American (0.9%). Participants were divided into groups of leanness focused sport athletes, nonleaness focused sport athletes, and non-athletes. Leaness focused sport athletes consisted of 32 individuals who participated as members…

different pattern than the vocabulary probes: No significant change in scores was seen between Time 1 and Time 2 or between Time 2 and Time 3 (although Time 2 to Time 3 approached significance at p = .071). A significant change occurred between Time 1 and Time 3 ( p = .009). The Time × Group interaction approached significance ( p = .055). The increase from Time 1 to Time 3 was somewhat larger for the BT group (41.9% to 74.1%) than for the MT group (53.1% to 67.6%), although not sufficiently…

What is Downs Syndrome? Downs Syndrome (DS) is the leading form of intellectual and chromosomal deformity (Sherman et al., 2007), affecting approximately 1 in every 700 babies born each year (Parker et al. 2010). The main physiological aspect and cause of DS is the trisomy of chromosome 21 in which the usual paired chromosome becomes a trio (Patterson, 2009). DS also has a clear clinical presentation from birth with a number of distinct symptoms such as (percentages represent number of DS…

Discussion The research study had a different outcome than what was expected. There was no significance between a person’s mood state and the type of words recalled. As expected, subjects did recall more positive words more than negative words, but it wasn’t significant. No significance was found between positive mood and the critical positive lure word. Unexpectedly, subjects with a negative mood were more likely to recall a positive lure word. Negative mood and the negative lure word were not…

The control was the first row for both amylases. At 0 min. neither one had synthesized anything so this served as the starting point. The independent variable was the temperature; this is what was being changed. The dependent variable was the amylase activity; this is what (should have) changed because of the temperature. The iodine was a marker. It showed whether starch was still present in the wells. From the results, starch was present in all the wells; it was present at every temperature and…

In relation to the first question, the results showed that subjects in the control group rated their experience somewhat negatively. Subjects in the one dollar category rated their experience statistically more positively in comparison to the control group while the twenty dollar category’s average rating was only minimally higher than that of the control group. Participants in the one dollar group also responded more positively when asked about their willingness to participate it similar…

What is the percentage of change in Reaction Time as age increases? As people increase in age, their reaction time can change as well, either increasing or decreasing. If kids in different age groups measure their reaction time using a test online, then the percentage of change in reaction time will increase with age. There are an abounding amount of things that can affect how fast or slow someones reaction test time is, along with what happens to your body when it is measured and the process of…

Recent developments in the study of cognitive facial recognition have perceived a determination that there are several areas that function to facilitate this action. The purpose of the study performed by WB Thompson, JH Mueller was to verify the hemispheric conditions and limitations in facial recognition. The core consideration was the aspect that primarily lateralisation of cortical functioning has consistently used facial stimulation. This has been conjectured due to the concept that…

KWHL Wilkinson, G. A. (2008). The impact of structured note taking strategies on math achievement of middle school students. Retrieved from ProQuest Dissertations and Theses database. (UMI No. 3524314) This study examined the used of structured notes taking and its impact on student achievement. This study is a quasi-experimental study that used a pre-test/posttest control group of 131 students on curricular exams. The t-test statistics showed no significant difference in posttest scores…

Stress Management App Efficacy: The Impact on Negative and Positive Affect Do various stress management apps effect negative and positive affect differently? The present study consisted of a randomized comparative efficacy trial, which aimed to unveil whether three stress management applications differed in their impact on negative and positive affect. Participants completed a pre-test assessment of their experiences of various negative and positive affects. The pre-test assessment also…
