Experiment Critical Thinkings Samples For Students

In the article titled Stereotypes: Why We Act without Thinking, the author makes an observation that stereotypes can be as useful to the same extent that they are detrimental when used in judging others. The author gives an example of the stereotypes associated with psychologists – they are nosy, and always seek to find out a lot of things about an individual. While this is a generalized point of view, it makes a lot of sense. Similarly, the author explains that, while people hold the assumption that all French people are rude, not all, actually are. To this extent, I agree with ...

Introduction

The article entitled “The Unexpected Influence of Physician Attributes in Clinical Decisions” was transcribed by John B. McKinlay along with others. Their main purpose for conducting the research under Health and Social Behavior was intended at determining various aspects. For instance, it was aimed at determining if patient’s features were taking a central role in clinical-decision making. In addition, the experiment was meant to indicate if it was only the medical doctor’sindividualities or it was mishmash with the patient’s physical characteristics that predisposed medical assessment making. The patient’s features that were under consideration included ...

Hamilton’s rule states that social behavior of organisms is supported by natural selection but only if rb-c>0, where r represents the genetic relatedness between actors and beneficiaries, b denotes the benefit that the social behavior confers on the beneficiary, and c is the cost that the social behavior imposes on the actor (Alonso, 2002). It is important to note that the rule suggests that the cost will most certainly diminish the appropriateness of the agent and on the other hand that the benefits will increase the suitability of the agent. Although this is the case, the rule is ...

Introduction

Internal validity is a condition of scientific research which depicts the degree to which a conclusion is warranted. It is common that systematic error minimization is the basis of warranting causal conclusions in research. An inference is concluded to be having internal validity if the binding relationship between the independent and dependent variable is described with precision. However, internal validity of research can be jeopardized (Salkind, 2010).
One of the ways that internal validity of a study can be jeopardized is by the selection bias. Selection bias is as a result of a bias involvement of more than a single person of the same ...

The experiment offers a description of the procedures for the overall studies in terms of the destructive obedience within the laboratory. On the other hand, this is fully consistent with the ordering of administration of the increasingly severe punishment to victims in line with a learning experiment. In this case, punishment is issued through shock generators having close to 30 graded switches that range from Slight Shock all the way to Danger (Severe Shock). The victims are confederate of E. in this case; the primary dependent variable includes the maximum shock the subject has willingness to administer prior refusing to continue ...

In biology many experimental procedures utilize the scientific method. The scientific method is a sequence of defined steps that start from the earliest stages of the discovery of scientific phenomena to its explained conclusion. A key element in the use of scientific method in explaining scientific phenomena is to have a systematic way of analyzing problems and reporting results. There are several stages in the scientific method: question/problem presentation, background research of phenomena, hypothesis, experiment, results and conclusion. All these processes allow a scientist to gather measureable and empirical evidence to arrive at a sound conclusion which is backed up by scientific reason ( ...

- Phase response curve
An understanding of how light and temperature pulses perturb circadian oscillation systems is very essential in the analysis of circadian systems entrainment. When light or temperature pulse of a given intensity falls in a specific phase in a free running oscillation, it can generate some phase advances in the preceding activity. When a pulse of light falls at some phases, it can cause phase delays. A phase response curve is therefore a plot of phase changes both in magnitude and sign expressed as a function of the perturbed oscillation phase (Pavlidis, 1973).
The data of the response curve provided ...

The evaluation of Current Transformer models was carried out using EMTP (Electro Magnetic Transient Program). As a matter of fact, relaying CTs with 2000/5 and 600/5 rations were used to undertake the experiment in order to determine the response of the transient. There are WMTP nonlinear reactor and saturable transformers models that are very useful in the simulation of Current Transformers and its response. The transient response needs to be experimented using CTs in a laboratory and as well be compared with digital simulation. It is crucial to comprehend various approaches of model implementation Perhaps, in the process of model implementation ...

On average, module 3 was amongst the most intriguing modules that I have encountered during my curriculum. Learning on the different survey methods and on how data can be turned into a generalization on a community or population, was indeed outstanding. From the module, I have learnt different research designs and methods that can be used in making valid and reliable generalizations or findings about a population. I have learnt on the different data collection tools and how to choose the best tool based on a hypothesis.
A distinction of quantitative design and its pros and cons from a qualitative study has added ...

Phobias are common in people but why in a modern urban world would people be afraid of snakes or dangerous spiders? Öhman, Flyki, and Esteves (2001) have done several experiments to try to understand why and how people with phobias of snakes and/or spiders react to photographs of them. The experiments used photographs of snakes, spiders, flowers or mushrooms in order to time the difference in people’s ability to identify the items that frightened them versus the items that did not have any fear-relevance for them.

The experiments were based on identifying the selective attention of the participants. That ...

Introduction

Some of the most interesting topics in psychology and other nervous-related topics are the ones that tackle paranormal activities—these are activities that cannot usually be explained by science (Wagner, 2011). Other entities that are believed to be of paranormal origin are ghosts, haunted houses, exorcisms, invisibility cloaks and other things that cannot usually be explained even by the most modern technologies.
Some experts have claimed that paranormal entities aren’t actually real; some even believe that we are the only ones that make it real. The brain is a very powerful tool and simply imagining things could make ...

The paper presents a statistical analysis of Brisbois, Kock, Watanabe, Mirhosseini, Lamoureux, Chasen, MacDonald, Baracos, and Wisner (2011) article "delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol may palliate altered chemosensory perception in cancer patients: results of a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled pilot trial". The research aimed at determining whether Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) therapy on cancer patients can improve smell and taste perception. This is well outlined in the article. The research was triggered by the effect of anorexia and weight loss on patients with advanced cancer; this results to functional loss, low quality life and low survival chances. Therefore, the research investigated the ...

Stanley Milgram who was a psychologist from Yale, conducted a well-known experiment about obedience which is relevant for human psychology. This happened in 1963 and the experiment was related to the fact that people were in conflict between their own conscience and obeying authority. Milgram was seeking for explanation of people who committed genocide because they were ordered to do so during WWII and he found out that obedience is a powerful impulse.
Milgram was inclined to believe that people tend to obey the authority because it is a tactic for survival. “For many people, obedience is a deeply ...

The Milgram Experiment – it is one of the most famous psychological experiments of obedience conducted by Stanley Milgram in 1963. Stanley Milgram, who was a psychologist at Yale University, conducted an experiment in order to study the connection between the power of authority and obedience. The aim of Miligram was to study the justifications for the Genocide actions conducted by Germans during the Second World War, who were simply following orders from the authority figures. The aim of the experiment was to find out how far people could go by harming other people, if it is ordered by a ...

After viewing the video on the Stanford Prison Experiment, I recorded my feelings and reactions to the video based on questions that I was presented with by my Professor. These questions provoked thought and led me to a new understanding about the material that I viewed.
I would like to think that if I had been a guard in this experiment that I would have been a “good” guard. I think that I am a good person who would treat others with kindness and respect in all situations, but this experiment shows that when placed in a place of ...

Critiquing the paper analyzing impact of Orff’s musical learning approach on spatial-temporal reasoning in children

The soothing effect of music on the human mind is by now well established. Music, from ancient times, has been accorded a high degree of respect in the socio-cultural context of human existence, being seen alternatively as a link that binds humanity to the divine or as‘food of love’ in literature and so on. The claim that music instruction has an impact on the cognitive abilities of human beings, since early childhood, is more recent and is still being analyzed by various researchers.
According to French researcher Alfred Tomatis, listening to music helped healing and development of the brain. ...

In this video, an experiment was conducted to investigate how majority group’s social pressure affects people’s conformation. Seven students are put in a stable room with another naïve participant and a task on line judgment is used. Before the experiment, the seven confederates had decided on which response to adopt when the task is presented. However, the naïve participant is not familiar with this plan and believes that, every other participant is real. In all the criminal trials made by the seven confederates, the naïve participant follows their opinions.

Jane Elliott’s Blue Eyes vs. Brown Eyes experiment could hardly take place in our schools today. A controversial experiment of such a nature could be greatly criticized today as being too insensitive and naïve. The fact that the experiment is done in a class of young children-third graders while easily noticing Elliott’s determined reserve, and imagining how psychologically she deeply tread in instigating discrimination amongst these young learners raises eyebrows. Present parents would obviously complain that such a lesson is too direct and inappropriate for their young ones. However, one may be left wondering about the ...

The phrase ACO is an acronym for Accountable Care Organization. This term refers to groupings of hospitals, doctors, and other healthcare providers. The involved parties voluntarily come together to give high quality coordinated care to Medicare patients. Essentially, ACOs came up as a result of the poor service delivery in public hospitals. It is worth noting that patients have for a long time complained about the high cost of Medicare. Furthermore, they also experience reduced healthcare delivery that is not flexible to their needs. The legacy system adopts a “one size fits all healthcare ...

In the 2008 film Die Welle (The Wave) directed by Dennis Gansel and produced by Rat Pack Film and Christian Becker, high school teacher Rainer Wenger (portrayed by Jürgen Vogel) challenged his students about the possibility of an authoritarian government in modern Germany. To prove its possibility, he provoked his students to being his blind Nazi followers while he plays as the dictator "Herr Wenger". It was an experiential experiment gone astray but a subtle and touching revelation on the transcendence of fascism in contemporary time.
For Rainer, it started as an innocent class strategy in teaching Autocracy ...

The influence of psychological state of the athlete on his performance and, therefore, prospects of using various psyching strategies, has for quite a long time been of interest for both practitioners (e.g., athletes, coaches) and sports science scholars. According to Hackfort&Tebenbaum (2006), peak performance in sports is most often associated with such factors as physical preconditions, psychological states, motor skills, as well as mental abilities (e.g., ability to concentrate, attention) and a range of psychological issues as stress resistance, will-power, self-confidence, motivation etc. (11). Nonetheless, it is still hard to define the extent to which each of above-mentioned factors if capable ...

Lab Report: Groundwater Sustainability

The purpose of the study was to investigate if a non-change in the current trends in human development will affect groundwater.

Introduction

The indiscriminate and excessive use of groundwater has in the recent past raised questions regarding its sustainability (Ponce, 2006). Both the removal, destruction and impairment of the natural environment in the drive to meet the demands of human development are some of the greatest causes of perilous impacts on the sustainability potential of our natural underground water resource base. This problem is worsened by the fact that unlike surface water, ground water does not ...

Social psychology aims to analyze how people’s psychological concepts—thoughts, feelings, and ideals, among others—are influenced by the social factors surrounding them. The presence of people in the vicinity can change drastically how a person thinks; it can result in inhibition, hostility, excitement, etc. and therefore can change the way that person acts accordingly. Basically, the presence of social factors is a major indicator of how a person acts and thus is a major point of interest in the study of psychology.
One of the concepts involved in social psychology is the case of the bystander effect. ...

The use of marijuana for medicinal purposes, a social or political issue, seems to be in question. The opponents to the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes stick to the same argument of social and at times religious effects. The support of the movement seems to be basing all evidence in the far-reaching uses of cannabis beyond medical application. With Washington and Colorado both recently legalizing marijuana for recreational use, it reopens the debate about whether or not marijuana should be legal for medicinal purposes in the United States. A look at the current research, an analyzing the argument of ...

Studying Effect of Age on Ability to Ignore Distractions

Introduction
With aging, people tend to perform poorly on cognitive tasks as they are unable to ignore non-relevant information. At the same time, young adults are observed to be adept at ignoring irrelevant information as they seem to be more focussed and have the ability to ignore distractions. Research studies published so far are throwing highly contrasting results. Mack & Rock (1998) in studies related to inattentional blindness (IB) formulated a working hypothesis that there is no perception without attention, as young adults failed to respond or to remember information presented in the centre of their visual field.

Scientific research requires a systematic approach to using observations to generate a tentative statement, or hypothesis, to explain a phenomenon. There are four general steps to the scientific method: observations, generation of a hypothesis, testing of the hypothesis, and discussion of whether the hypothesis is disproven or the hypothesis needs to be revised (Krebs, 2009). The proper planning, background research, and budgeting of resources is required before any data collection begins. Once data collection is completed, the scientist must submit it to rigorous statistical testing before deciding to retain the current hypothesis or revise the hypothesis. A hypothesis cannot be proven, just disproven ( ...

The British novelist, critic and essayist Virginia Stephen Woolf is considered one of the most authentic writers of England in the period between the First and the Second World Wars. Being discontented with the novels on the basis of the well-known, actual and apparent, Woolf went on her own experimental way. Walking along this path, the writer discovered a more internal, subjective interpretation of life experience, which is reflected in all of her creative works. It is also worth mentioning about the impact of such famous people such as Henry James, Marcel Proust and James Joyce on her work. ...

The main ideas Gall et al. are communicating in chapter 1 is that evidence-based practice is a key to progress in all the fields of knowledge and practice, especially in human-centered disciplines such as psychology, medicine, and education. The authors fairly note that while evidence and research have been widely used in natural sciences and technology, the field education just seems to be missing from the overall picture of human progress. The problem is not in that there is no research in this field but that the results of the research do not find application in real life. This ...

Introduction

Over the years, there were two main contending theories in the United States concerning the emergence of life: evolution and creationism. Evolution characterized science’s view of how creation began, and creationism presented the religious elucidations. Later, came the intelligent design theory, also referred to as the design theory. This is the opinion that nature displays concrete signs of having been devised by a preexisting intelligence. The intelligent design concept purports that an unsystematic natural process could have developed life by no chance. Rather, only the direction of an intelligent power can explicate the intricacy and diversity evidenced today. Since ...

Judith Thomson's critique on abortion is almost surely the most extensively anthologized paper on the subject. It was issued one year prior to Roe v.

The paper is not always simple to pursue; while the personal arguments are comprehensible, the general thread is occasionally less obvious.

Thomson starts by allowing for the characteristic anti-abortion argument. The critical principle, she articulates, is characteristically an assertion that the foetus is completely a full human being from the instant of conception. She upholds that this is false, ...
