...The Role Of Research and Statistics In Psychology Statistical Reasoning in Psychology Research and Statistics in Psychology Research and Statistics play an important role in psychology. Researchers in the field of psychology study what people will do or how they will react in any situation. Since not everyone reacts the same to a certain situation, statistics is used to see if a certain action happens often enough to come to an idea about cause and effect. It used to be believed that statistics could prove anything (Helberg). This is not true. It would only be found true if the researcher used statistics improperly and tried to bend the rules to validate their view on the subject matter (Helberg). Research and Statistics have many different areas that prove important for psychology. Statistics Statistics refers to techniques and procedures for analyzing and interpreting data, displaying data and decisions made based on the data collected. In Statistics there are different areas to be able to find and explain certain types of things being researched. There is inferential statistics, descriptive statistics, variables, parameters, summation notation and measurement scales. Statistics which is often considered confusing can be cleared up with explanation and examples of each area. Descriptive Statistics is a summary of the collected data. It helps to organize it in a way that makes it understandable. An example would be: A personality test on 1000 college...

...China’s Great Wall Name: Institution: Course: Date due: Purpose of the Great Wall of China There are various reasons why the great wall was constructed. One of them was for security. That is because it was built with the aim of protecting the empire of the Chinese people from the war like communities and the Mongolians (Webster, 2008). Beacons towers, forts, and passes were also build and they were used to store foods for the military and they were also used as a means of spreading military information thus making them always alert. The wall also helped in the development of infrastructure and economic activities. That is because it helped in protecting culture progress and economic development. Challenges faced when building the great wall The constructors of the wall went through many challenges. One of the challenges is that it led to the deaths of very many people. That is because the work was very tedious and it did not allow them to rest and as a result some people were not strong enough to carry one thus they died. Another challenge is the foreign attacks (DuTemple, 2003). The attacks made the work to be challenging and slow since the constructors were always afraid of being attacked. They also got to live in fear since most of the times they were attacked when they least expected. The attacks, therefore, led to the deaths of very many people and at times some people were left with great injuries or even crippled. It, therefore, discouraged them...

...Perspectives Cathy Lint PSY/310 February 6, 2012 Katrina Ramos John B. Watson (1878-1958) John B. Watson was born in 1878 just outside Greenville, South Carolina, in what would be known today as a dysfunctional family because of the alcoholism, fighting, and extra-martial affairs. Watson had many behavioral problems due to his upbringing that caused Watson to have contact with the law at an early age. Watson went on to Furman University and graduated at the young age of 16 in 1900 with a master's degree. Watson was influenced by one of his professors at Furman when Watson decided to enter the University of Chicago where Watson was to study philosophy and psychology. Watson studied comparative psychology Comparative psychology is the branch of psychology concerned with the study of animal behavior (Call, 2010). Watson felt more comfortable studying animals than he did humans and began his study in cortical development while using white rats. Although many other physiologists did not believe rats were capable of "associative learning" due to a rats brain development Watson thought otherwise. During Watson's experiments with the white rats could show that minimal learning was achieved during, the first week and that during the fourth week the white rats could form associations in the rats cortical development (Goodwin, 2008). Watson was able to have this study published that led to Watson's doctorate and his stay at the University of Chicago. During Watson's time at the...

...1. What are the dimensions of cultural diversity? Identify and briefly explain the dimensions by referencing both textbooks. Diversity in the workforce has evolved throughout history. From ancient times where nobility and religious figures ruled all to more current times with the struggle for civil rights in the 1960s or the workforce diversity in the 1990s with woman and different ethnic groups becoming leaders and executives. According to the text, diversity is defined “as the ways in which people differ that may affect their organizational experience in terms of performance, motivation, communication, and inclusion” (Harvey, 2009, p. 1). Dimensions of diversity include components related to a person's race, gender, ethnic background, religious/spiritual dogmas, lifestyle, sexual orientation, age, abilities, and appearance (Schaefer, 2012). These are known as primary dimensions. Secondary dimensions are considered less central to someone’s social identity. Some examples are: Geographic location, military/work experience, family status, income, education, communication and work styles, and first language/education. 2. With what ethnic, cultural, or other groups do you identify? Describe what members of your social circle have in common. I am associated with many diverse groups of various backgrounds. Culturally and ethnically, I identify with Latino/Hispanic, African American, Caucasian/Anglo and Asian. Being of an “All-American” Caucasian background...

...Basic Concepts in Positive Psychology Stuart Zarahn PSY/220 Alan Coffin 05/29/2015 Researchers refer to’ Subjective Well- Being’ as how people experience the quality of their lives, and includes both emotional and cognitive judgements. They have defined ‘happiness’ as a combination of life’s satisfactions and how frequently we experience positive and negative effects. SWB includes our mood swings and emotions, as well as an overall satisfaction of our lives. Basically, subjective well-being is the positive and negative things that happen to us, how frequently they occur, the importance as they pertain to our happiness or sadness, and are linked to our personality traits. Everyone responds in their own way to a crisis or to a joyful event, so how and why we respond depends upon our personalities. John Lennon said it best, “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans” As far as being hooked up to a feel great all the time machine, if it was temporary like the “orgasmatron” in Woody Allen’s movie, or having a tube in my mouth that was attached to a tank of nitrous oxide (reality for me in 1970), then sure, why not? If it is a permanent situation, then no thank you. I might as well be in a catatonic state, feeling no emotions, pain, or joy, disconnected from reality or in a coma. All social interactions would be gone as I sat there with a perpetual stupid grin. I knew a girl named ‘Frankie’ who dropped a lot of LSD back in the late 60’s, early 70’s...

...Week 1 – The Concepts of Market Justice and Social Justice James R. Freehahn HSM 315 The American Healthcare System Instructor Dr. Cheryl Chance, PhD. February 27, 2015 The Concepts of Market Justice and Social Justice Introduction In this paper, I will describe the concepts of market justice and social justice, explain how the two principles complement each other and in what way they conflict in delivery of health care in the United States. Secondly, I will discuss how health care is rationed in the market justice and social justice systems. Finally, I will discuss the types of health insurance that is based on market justice and social justice principles. The Concepts of Market Justice and Social Justice The concept of market justice can be described as a distributional principle according to which health care is most equitably distributed through the market forces of supply and demand, rather than government interventions. The concept of social justice can be best described as a distribution principle, according to which health care is most equitably distributed by a government-run national health care program and is minimally affected by market forces. How Market Justice and Social Justice Ration Health Care Market justice and social justice distribution principles both compliment and conflict in the U.S. system of health care delivery. Market justice ascribes the fair distribution of health care to the market forces in a free economy including medical services...
