This study found the gain-loss theory of attraction is applicable and holds true when social media is used as the initial judgment platform. Subjects significantly rated their likeness of confederates who had a negative profile higher than those with a positive one after meeting them in person. The implications of this are critical in today’s world for many reasons. First, this study undermines the entire online dating industry, which is heavily scrutinized as it is. These services claim to be…
Test Subjects In order to perform and conduct these unethical experiments, researchers had to find test subject. The issue was that not many people would risk their life for the “greater good”. Therefore, researchers found alternate ways to obtain their human subjects. From trickery to deception, researchers did whatever they deemed necessary in order to get their subject. Most subjects were random unless they were finding subjects that have a certain disease or characteristic. One key…
who are talking about dark and/or savory subjects and notice what techniques they are using to do it well. The other alternative, and one that may be the better and more successful option, would be to move entirely away from personal essay and memoir. My academic writing is, in general, far stronger than my creative work, and if I apply creative craft techniques to academic subjects, I may be able to avoid all the above-named issues. I treat my academic subject with far more care, I believe. I…
Dziegielewski and Wolfe used an ABA single subject design in their study. The subject, a 24 year-old Caucasian female who was referred to as Brandy, took a pretest of the Self-Esteem Rating Scale (SERS) developed by Nugent and Thomas (1993) and the Body Image Avoidance Questionnaire (BIAQ) by Rosen, Srebnik, Saltzberg, and Wendt (1991) before the baseline data was collected. Negative scores on the SERS, which ranged from -120 to +120, meant low self-esteem and the higher the scores on the BIAQ,…
“Neat People vs. Sloppy People” by Britt. The subject matter in this essay slapped me upside the head! My best friend Val makes quite a bit of money, and she is one hell of a neat person. She throws out toys as her sons grow out of them. She makes sure the mail gets gone through and thrown away daily…
the time to have a demand for him to write down his stance and better clarify it. This is enough to set him apart in the eyes of his audience members, but not enough to necessarily win their trust, especially if they are not dedicated enough to the subject to understand the importance of such a convention or conversation, particularly when it occurred 26 years ago. Because the document is styled and arranged in a way meant to recount a spoken argument, thus losing much of its organization, it…
Furthermore, I learned building a voice behind a platform has two factors: Audience profile, and subject matter. When writing content, I always tend to write in different styles, which is a bad habit for platforms because the voice is the perception of the brand so it needs to stay constant according to the Lynda UX: Content strategy course. Not only did I learn that voice must stay consistent but also the subject matter must be taken in consideration when…
always had a rough time maintaining social relations due to his narrowmindedness on almost every subject which leads him to have a short temper. Once his mind is focused on one set of beliefs, he seems to maintain the same belief regardless of anything and everything that could prove him wrong. It takes a great deal to break the concrete that he lays every time he has to think about a certain subject matter. This is especially true when it comes to kids. As previously mentioned, Jerry had a…
English has never been my strong subject, but I have come to learn a lot. I have been a great student by working really hard and it has taken me a lot to get to this high level skills. I can honestly say I am ready for this course and I am also a little excited. I want to get even better than how I am now and I think I am up for that challenge. This would make English one of my favorite subjects. In the first day of my spring semester I was very nervous, but anxious at the same time. I did not…
Methodology Design A single subject design was implemented in this quantitative study. In order to establish a baseline, there was one week of no treatment. At this time, increases on task behaviors were charted (gazing, talk to peer, out of seat/ throwing self on the floor, vocal grunts). Once baseline data had been collected and analyzed to determine the frequency and duration of the behaviors, three weeks of treatment followed. The treatment involved the implementation of a teacher designed…
