Yes, agreed! Although I chose a quasi-experimental design as my choice of design, in an experimental design it will be easier to see which variable affects the other and we will be able to locate any […]
A quasi-experimental design is the same as an experimental design, however, the difference is that there is no random assignment or equivalent groups. In a pre-experimental design, the data is collected in a way […]
I agree that Dr. P doesn’t need to see his condition as a problem or a setback. He lives comfortably the way he is and has set up a routine for himself that helps him to live day to day without any troubles.
After reading The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, I was astonished by his interesting condition. Dr. P could see objects, but not what they actually were. His vision was well but he had trouble with grasping […]
Executive functioning consists of a set of skills that helps one with completing tasks, using their memory, and inhibiting actions. In the study conducted by Miyake et al. (2000), they focused on the three main […]
I also hypothesized this as well! There definitely is a strong correlation between academic anxiety and neuroticism due to the amount of pressure people put on themselves. People who score high in […]
I hypothesized that the more organized a person is, the more likely they will score high for conscientiousness. Conscientiousness is the personality dimension that shows thoughtfulness and organization. People […]
That is a great research study example and a within-subjects would definitely be more helpful in showing us the comparison between the two conditions. There is less error variance in a within-subjects […]
In a within-subjects design, there is low error variance, whereas in a between-subjects design, since there are a lot of uncontrolled and external variables, there is a high error variance. It is difficult for us […]
I agree with your response for question #7. The way a student takes notes can give us some insight on personality traits and if their preference affects their academic performance. For question #15, […]
The two behaviors that I have selected to compare between summer and winter are running and caching. My first hypothesis is that squirrels run more in the summer than they do during the winter. My rationale for […]
This study is interesting and important to help us see the relationship between humans and animals. Animals are different from us in many ways, yet also similar. They do not talk like humans, but they […]
The article that I chose is titled “When It’s Playtime, Many Kids Prefer Reality Over Fantasy” by Bruce Bower from Science News. Young children are creative in so many ways, with fantasy play being one of them. K […]
Science is the process of knowledge and discovery of the natural world around us. Science is done through experiments, trial and error, and observations. There are three main branches of science: physical […]
