Psychology – Lab Assignment

Psychology – Lab Assignment 10/27/2016 Week 2 (Oct 24 ­ Oct 30) – PSYC­330­OL50­16FA1 https://blackboard.campbell.edu/webapps/blackboard/content/listContent.jsp?content_id=_2095381_1&course_id=_36869_1&nolaunch_after_review=true&outco… 1/2 Lab Activity 2 PART A: Identifying experimental variables Identify the independent and dependent variables in the following descriptions of experiments: 1. Students watched a cartoon either alone or with others and then rated how funny they found the cartoon to be. 2. A comprehension test was given to students after they had studied textbook material either in silence or with the television turned on. 3. Some elementary school teachers were told that a child’s parents were college graduates, and other teachers were told that the child’s parents had not finished high school; they then rated the child’s academic potential. 4. Workers at a company were assigned to one of two conditions: one group completed a stress management­training program; another group of workers did not participate in the training. The number of sick days taken by these workers was examined for the two subsequent months PART B: Nonexperimental observations Respond to the following questions: 1. You observe that classmates who get good grades tend to sit toward the front of the classroom, while those who receive poor grades tend to sit toward the back. What are three possible cause­ and­effect relationships for this nonexperimental observation? 2. A few years ago, newspapers reported a finding that Americans who have a glass of wine a day are healthier than those who have no wine (or who have a lot of wine or other alcohol). What are some plausible alternative explanations for this finding; that is, what variables other than wine could explain the finding? 3. The limitations of nonexperimental research were dramatically brought to the attention of the public by the results of an experiment on the effects of postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy (part of a larger study known as the Women’s Health Initiative). An experiment is called a clinical trial in medical research. In the clinical trial, participants were randomly assigned to receive either the hormone replacement therapy or a placebo (no hormones). The hormone replacement therapy consisted of estrogen plus progestin. In 2002, the investigators concluded that women taking the hormone replacement therapy had a higher incidence of heart disease than did women in the placebo (no hormone) condition. At that point, they stopped the experiment and informed both the participants and the public that they should talk with their physicians about the advisability of this therapy. The finding dramatically contrasted with the results of nonexperimental research in which women taking hormones had a lower incidence of heart disease; in these studies, researchers compared women who were already taking the hormones with women not taking hormones. Why do you think the results were different with the experimental research and the nonexperimental research? Explain. PART C: Is it a correlation or is it an experiment? For the following questions, first answer whether the study described is a correlation or is it in experiment. If it is a correlation, is it positive or negative? If it is an experiment, what are the independent and dependent variables? 1. Dr. Snoop and Dr. Dre are interested in the effects of smoking marijuana on learning, so they place several ferrets in a box where if they press a lever they will get a food pellet. Some ferrets are exposed to pot smoke 3 times a day; some for 1 time a day, and some not at all.  After two weeks of exposure they measure which groups of ferrets learn to push the lever faster.  They find that less pot smoke is associated with faster learning. 2. Researchers are interested in the effects of bystanders on altruistic (helping) behaviors, they have someone pretend to have a seizure when either several people are present or only one […]

Psychology – Lab Assignment 5

Psychology – Lab Assignment 5 11/17/2016 Upload Assignment: Week 5 Lab Activity – PSYC­330­OL50­… https://blackboard.campbell.edu/webapps/assignment/uploadAssignment?content_id=_2142242_1&course_id=_36869_1&assign_group_id=&mode=view 1/3 PART A: Design Identification Answer the following six questions for each of the experiments described below: 1.   Identify the design (e.g., 2 X 2 factorial). 2.   Identify the total number of conditions. 3.   Identify the manipulated variable(s). 4.   Is this an IV X PV design? If so, identify the participant variable(s). 5.   Is this a repeated measures design? If so, identify the repeated variable(s). 6.   Identify the dependent variable(s). Design 1: College sophomores were given a short course in speed reading. Three groups had courses lasting for 5, 15, or 25 sessions. At the conclusion of the course, participants were asked to read a paragraph, followed by a test of comprehension. Before taking the test, participants in each group were offered a monetary incentive­no money, $1, or $10 for a certain level of performance. The researcher collected the reading time and number of correct items on the comprehension test for each participant. Design 2: A researcher interested in weight control wondered whether normal and overweight individuals differ in their reaction to the availability of food. Thus, normal and overweight participants were told to eat as many peanuts as they desired while working on a questionnaire. One manipulation was the proximity of the peanut dish (close or far from the participant); the second manipulation was whether the peanuts were shelled or unshelled. After filling out the questionnaire, the peanut dish was weighed to determine the amount of peanuts consumed. Design 3: A researcher studied the influence of intensity of room illumination (low, medium, and high) on reading speed among fifth graders. Also, children were classified as “good” or “poor” readers from achievement test scores. Each group of children read 750­word passages under all three levels of illumination (three reading trials). The order of trials for each child was randomly determined. Design 4: A researcher investigated the effect of a child’s hair length on judgments of personality and intelligence. Teachers were shown photographs of children to obtain their “first impressions” of the children. Each teacher was shown a boy or girl whose hair was either very short, shoulder length, or very long. Teachers rated the friendliness of the child and estimated the child’s intelligence level. Design 5: An investigator was interested in the effects of various treatments on reduction of fear in phobic participants. He suspected that type of phobia may interact with therapeutic treatments; specifically, that the types of treatments for agoraphobics (fear of open spaces) and claustrophobics (fear of closed spaces) might be different. He divided participants into two groups based upon type of fear and then assigned members of each group to treatment groups: desensitization, insight, or implosive therapies. After three months of treatment, participants’ anxiety in the feared situation was measured Design 6:     11/17/2016 Upload Assignment: Week 5 Lab Activity – PSYC­330­OL50­… https://blackboard.campbell.edu/webapps/assignment/uploadAssignment?content_id=_2142242_1&course_id=_36869_1&assign_group_id=&mode=view 2/3 Participants participated in a driving simulation study to investigate night­driving reactions as a […]
