You hear the cheers and screams from the crowd. You can smell the hot dogs, burgers, pizza, pretzels, and popcorn from the concession stands. The marching band playing loud to match the noise and energy of the crowd. This memory…

The present study investigated the possible relationship between self-defeating humor and the use of humor as a coping strategy. It also predicts that the use of humor as a coping strategy is negatively correlated with self-defeating humor Meaning, for example, if an individual has a lower self-defeating humor score, the lower the usage of humor as a coping strategy. However, the results of the present study do not support the idea of a negative correlation. Instead, there is a weak, but…

Statistics Worksheet Part A Question 1 a) Below is the calculation for the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient between the total number of problems correct and the attitude toward test taking. Total no. of problems correct (out of a possible 20): X Attitude toward test taking (out of a possible 100): Y (X - X ̅)² (Y - Y ̅)² (X-X ̅)(Y-Y ̅) 1 17 94 1.96 204.49 20.02 2 13 73 6.76 44.89 17.42 3 12 59 12.96 428.49 74.52 4 15 80 0.36 0.09 -0.18 5 16 93 0.16 176.89 5.32 6 14 85 2.56 28.09…

Many herbicides and pesticides are thought to be involved in teratogenic, or embryonic development disturbing, mechanisms. Therefore it is important to study the effects of these chemicals on humans and wildlife in the event of contact or contamination. Case-Control Study of Maternal Residential Atrazine Exposure and Male Genital Malformations by Agopian in 2012 is one study that examines an herbicide, atrazine, in relation to birth defects of male genital development. Atrazine is one of the…

In the following two studies, Vrij and Mann (2001) and Mann, Vrij, and Bull (2004), respectively, researched police officers abilities to detect deception in real-life, high-stakes scenarios. They also looked at the behavioural cues which were used to come to these conclusions. In the first study by Vrij and Mann (2001), participants were comprised of 52 police officers in the Netherlands, 28 male and 24 female. The officers had an average age of 30, around 9 years of service, and rated…

Because the individual differences of slope are found the non-significant, the planned t tests are not applied to examine the subsets of within group differences. On the other hand, the group difference of mean slope was examined for an overall identification of slope change. The group differences of slope are found t= 13.66, p< .01. The mean slope increased from pretest to posttest M1 = .54 to M2 = .60, but not statistically significant. As shown in Figure 3, children in the blocks-group…

1. QUESTION: Class, what does the correlation coefficients of -1, +1, and 0 tells you about the relationship between the two variables? It depends on the method one uses, but the Pearson correlation coefficient is the most widely used. Values in the form of numbers show the direction and how strong the relationship is between two different variables. These can range from -1.00 up to +1.00. If it is positive it is a direct relationship. For example, if one increases the other will also increase…

What- For over a century, an ethnographic method known as ‘participant observation’ has been an essential tool utilised in various anthropological and sociological disciplines in order to collect important qualitative research about people, their activities, and their cultures. (Kawulich, B 2005) Participant observation enables a researcher to learn about the studied culture and its associated activities in a natural setting, through the acts of observing and participating in these activities.…

As mentioned previously, the focus of this study was to determine if a relationship exists between communication apprehension, academic performance, and affective learning. Results were recorded using Qualtrics, a web-based research software that provides survey platforms. These results were input into SPSS so that statistical analysis could be performed. Given the nature of the variables of interest (continuous), two correlations tests were performed. Hypothesis One: Correlations Test A sample…
