Experiment Article Reviews Samples For Students

Research Problem/Question: The researchers had based their research on the argument that violent especially shooting video games have become most important leisure activity among youth. With the increasing praise for such games in media and public, these games have stimulated aggressive behavior and feelings of inattention towards friends and family as the users have perceived these animated characters as social beings and they are not actively involved in social activities. Apart from enjoyment and stimulation of aggressive behavior, youths feel no wrong in killing; rather they enjoy playing these games. However, very little research has been done to assess ...

The Title of the Article

The title indicates that the article is about morale and role strain of undergraduate nursing students in a pediatric clinical setting. However, Chen fails to specify the aspect of morale and role strain that the article seeks to deal with in the title. For instance, the title would have been more specific if it were stated as follows: causes of morale and role strain of undergraduate nursing students in a pediatric clinical setting. In this case, a reader would be able to tell that the article deals with the causes of morale and role strain. It therefore follows that the title of ...

Research methods and sex differences, personality and culture

Researchers from the article have extensively used experimental research approach to analyze data on sex differences in personality traits. The research findings were developed from mathematical modeling and statistical inference. The experimental research used compares the data relationships between sex differences, personality and culture, showing correlation between these variables (Schmitt, Voracek, Realo, Allik, 2009). Data obtained through experimental approach is more reliable than descriptive approach that just gives observable qualitative data and gives hard support to correlational research.
A suitable alternative to the experimental method used would have been the correlational research approach. Correlational approach gives a causal relationship ...

She further reports that, given intravenously in gradually larger doses, Dr. Henningfield discovered that nicotine ...

Evolutionary Psychology helps people understand their psychological and mental characteristics like language, perception and memory; these are all adaptations resulting from the evolutionary process of natural selection.
The purpose of this reasoning is to figure out the biological mechanisms of human beings, and what role psychology plays in them. Various researchers have contributed significant amount of studies to evolutionary psychology, and many are still contributing. One such important contribution was made by James S. Nairne, Sarah R. Thompson and Josefa N.S. Pandeirada during 2007; they stated that because mental processes that take place in human beings are similar ...

The ‘Perils of Obedience’ by Staley Milgram (1973) apparently looked similar to any other experiment in the field of Psychology that would produce numerous findings to validate an assumption. However, when I read the experiences of the subjects along with the association of the experiment with the real world, I realized how it grasps my attention to things that have always been an integral part of my life and the society. This experiment has its roots in the Holocaust where upon accusing Eichmann of the atrocities, his response was in terms of being obliged to the authority. In this ...

Q1.
Milgram’s study of obedience was an experiment set to investigate the effect of authority on obedience using the background of German soldier who committed horrific deeds during the Holocaust, whereby he concluded that people practiced obedience out of desire to appear cooperative or out of fear. This study was an example of the power of persuasion since it involved the investigation of what influenced people to do something (obey) in relation to those in power. Coercion and persuasion overlapped but the experiment involved more of persuasion since he did not threaten the autonomy of the subjects ...

The article’s topic talks about ways in which multiple traits undergo adaptive evolution using multiple mutations at a single gene. This is an important topic because different scientists have been coming up with varying theories regarding adaptive evolution. For example, Darwin claimed that adaptation only happens in the presence of slight successive variations. In supporting Darwin’s idea, Fisher, a scientist asserted that mutations tend to be pleiotropic in nature thus causing varying effects in relating population. Therefore, the topic is essential in assessing the effect of mutations as well as their pleiotropic effect (Linnen, Poh, Peterson, Barrett, Larson, Jensen & ...

The article by Lihoreau et al. describes a comprehensive study about the important but not fully understood ability of some insects to define optimized foraging routes for feeding purposes. Even though some aspects of the routing strategies have been studied, a major knowledge gap are the underlying mechanisms of insects for tracing routes at large scales (Lihoreau et al., 2013). The authors propose that building the routes requires a gradual acquisition of information about the spatial location of the sites of interest as well as the travelling linkages between them. Important challenges of large scale studies are to efficiently capture all insect ...

Intelligence and Stereotype Threat

This article talks about the situation described as the “stereotype threat.” Steele and Aronson 919950 describe it a situation where some members of particular groups are considered to be academically inferior as compared to others. In this case, Steele and Aronson sought to establish whether it was true that the African-Americans and the Latino students were academically inferior. They also sought to establish whether the belief that female students are actually poor in moths and sciences courses or whether these are just acts of stereotype threats.

The study carried out by Steele and Aronso (1995) was purely experimental. This can ...

The basic premise of Perani et al.’s paper is to use brain imaging PET scans to investigate what areas of the brain are activated in a person speaking his native language (L1) versus the areas of the brain activated by a person speaking a second language (L2). Additionally, the researchers seek to investigate whether the age of L2 acquisition affect “patterns of acquision” within the brain, or whether language proficiency has more affect over the activated areas within the brain (Perani et al. 1998, p. 1841).

The introduction also offers other areas for which this research is useful, for example, “language ...

It is difficult to explain a complex phenomenon such as human behavior. However, if human behavior can be observed carefully from an objective position and understood for what it is, it can be possible to adopt a more sensible explanation. Various theorists have attempted to explain human behavior through scientific approaches, and B. F Skinner is one such theorist. For Skinner, all human behavior, both internal and external, can be explained by the environmental impacts produced. In any given situation, a behavior is followed by a consequence. The behavior is most likely to be repeated in future similar situations if the consequences are ...

In the study conducted by authors Alex B. Van Zant and Laura J. Kray, they explored on the concept of truthfulness and honesty. In the study, the researchers stated their objective as attempting to limit the incidence by which people lie. They hypothesized that lying and deception can be averted if face-to-face interaction can instigate moral concern as with the other forms of communication. Simplifying this, the authors believed that when interaction is direct and visual, the possibility of deception will be averted. The authors’ further claims that with face-to-face interaction the players in the communication process will feel ...

Introduction

The book The Lucifer Effect by Philip Zimbardo argues that beneath any man lies some degree of evil, so detrimental if exposed under duress. The Lucifer Effect explains how good men can transform when exposed to stressful environments to commit heinous activities beyond imaginable moral magnitudes. In this regard, the author empirically explains the findings of the Stanford Prison Experiment (SPE) the processes involved in transforming good men into committing evil and heinous activities under duress and powerful situational forces. A comparison between the SPE findings and those of the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq have strong correlations in ...

When an armed attack takes place, eyewitnesses usually focus on the weapon and ignore the appearance of the perpetrator, to the extent that they are unable to remember his or her face accurately afterwards. Many studies have showed that seeing a gun makes eyewitnesses less reliable, because they tend to focus on the weapon, rather than the face or particularities of the criminal. These studies often concluded that this is an automatic response generated by fear or surprise at the unexpected sight of the weapon (Pickel, Ross & Truelove, 2006). In their study, Pickel, Ross & Truelove (2006) investigated the psychological ...

Introduction

In both qualitative and quantitative research, the close association between research and theory can basically be explained by the research components. The first impetus for the research is search for a theory. This means that development of theory depends on research, and also research depends on the theory. A number of researchers characterize this relationship as dialectic that is, a relationship where theory defines the data to be collected and the findings from research provide challenges to the accepted theories. It is thus correct to argue that research is the vehicle for development of theory. For that reason, this paper centers ...

Introduction

The Anti-Markovnikov process in organic chemistry generally involves addition reaction method of an electrophilic substituent, HX to an alkene or alkyne compounds, in such a way that the Hydrogen atom in the HX electrophile are chemically bonded to the carbon atom containing the least amount of Hydrogen attached to it. This addition process commonly uses catalysts or additive compounds in order to hasten the reaction since the process is quite expensive and toxic in nature. Furthermore, there is also a limited number of reactions involved in using the Anti-Markovnikov addition, making its research more difficult to expand and develop.

It is important to study about language and verbal behavior because it helps understand other people in a better way. Language or verbal behavior is defined as an operant behavior, which is strengthened by other people’s mediation (Skinner, 1957). This can be well explained as a practical relationship existing between the behavior of a person speaking, as well as the conditions in their environment. However, in this relationship, an important question, on how reinforcement between the speaker and the other people occurs arises.
According to research, it is clear that children acquire a number of language skills mainly without any instructions. ...

Although both studies are informative, the qualitative information provided by Saint et al. (2010) appears to be more difficult to understand than the quantitative information provided by Daud-Gallotti et al. (2012), most likely because of the differences in the nature of the data. Because qualitative information contains descriptive personal opinions from the participants, I find it difficult to use it for determining clinical practices based on that information. For example, it is mentioned that successful leaders were inspirational, but that does not provide the reader with sufficient guidelines to become inspirational.
Quantitative information appears to be more objective, ...

The article “Has Psychology Failed?” by Jastrow (1935) addresses the issues facing applied psychology and the limitations imposed by different schools of psychology, such as behaviorism and the psychoanalytic school. Even though he commends Watson’s desire to move psychology from theoretical science to applied science and Freud’s appreciation of the importance of emotions and subconscious mental processes in structuring the human mind, Jastrow believes a naturalist perspective would benefit psychology as a unified science with practical implications. However, most of the article is dedicated to lamenting the current state of psychology ...
