Van Wert High School Experiment

Procedure: Using distilled water, premeasured containers and objects determine displacement of fluids and density of objects. Use ice and heat measure temperatures in Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin.

C. An unknown, rectangular substance measures 3.6 cm high, 4.21 cm long, and 1.17 cm wide.

1. For this experiment, what were the independent variable and the dependent variable? What were the constants?

The Mythbusters observed the myth that driving whilst talking on the phone is as dangerous as driving drunk. They formed their hypothesis that driving on the phone is as dangerous as driving drunk. Then, they tested their hypothesis. They created an experiment that would have participants drive a car through a course three times. Each time a participant went through the course, they experience different conditions. The first time, both participants drove through the course normally. This served as the control group for the experiment. The second time, participants were asked questions over the phone while they completed the course, and, the third time, they were drunk when they drove through the course. Throughout the experiment, there were several independent variables in place to ensure that only one variable was being tested.

1) This is an experiment because they are manipulating the amount of caffeine given to the participants. The dependant variable is the time spent on the puzzle. The independent variable is the caffeine.

In the first step, there were two objects placed in a case. In the second step, a screen cam up and cover the two objects in the case. Third, an empty hand enters the case and fourth, one object was removed from the case. Lastly, There are two different outcome. As one being the possible in which the screen drops and reveals one object in the case or the impossible outcome in which the screen drops and revealing two objects in the case. There are two conditions in this experiment. The most condition that is appropriately to be the experimental condition is the kids that will see the impossible outcome because they are being presented the independent variables. There would be different infants being tested in each conditions because it gives equal chances to both groups. It is necessary to have a separate control group because. A possible control group will be the infants that will see the possible outcome which will reveals two objects from the case. The habitation technique is used in this experiment by acknowledging how infants will respond to a stimulus given to them. The independent variable in the experiment is the amount of objects that were put in the case and the dependent variable is the different outcomes.

2. A. The research was conducted by first paying his participants $4.50 ($30 today) to come in and take part in the experiment. The group of participants he selected was composed of 40 males between 20 and 50 who were told that the experiment was to test the effect of “punishment on learning“. There was 15 skilled-unskilled workers, 16 white-collar employees, and 9 professionals. Apart from them, there were 2 key participants, a confederate, who was actually a 47 year-old accountant and an actor who dressed as the experimenter. He decided to test the power of obedience in a laboratory which was clever on Milgram’s part. He designed a realistic looking fake scenario, complete with a shock chair and men dressed in lab coats. The most realistic component was the fake shock generator that actually quite scary-looking. It had levels of shock that went up from 30 to 450 volts and the levels were labeled to describe the intensity of the shock. The participants

They will be high school students that will be randomly selected from a high school population. All participants will be about the same age, all high school students, and intelligence level since they will all be attending the same high school. The participants will be selected randomly from a high school population. The experiment will be conducted in the same way for all of the groups. Additionally, the same amount of M&Ms will be eaten by each participant during the experiment.

Upon reading the article that was assigned to me #8, SOME EVIDENCE FOR HEIGHTENED SEXUAL ATTRACTION UNDER CONDITIONS OF HIGH ANXIETY by Donald G. Dutton and Arthur P. Aron, the purpose of the study was to see if the hypothesis was true if there is a male’s substantial body of indirect evidence suggest that sexual attractions occur with increased frequency during states of strong emotion. There were a serious of experiment preform to see whether the evidence collected prove to be true to the hypothesis. The experiment was carefully planned procedure to try to be as accurate as possible by the way the female interviewer approached males that were unaccompanied by a female companion between the ages 18-35. The experiments involve the encounter between a female interviewer and a male while they experience a strong emotion whether its fear or some other type of emotion than by means not experience high emotion based on their location.

A total of 59 participants took part in this experiment. They were split into two independent experimental groups, one being the control group, and the other the experimental group. There were 30 participants in the control group, and 29 participants in the experimental group. The male to female ratio was fairly equal with

In this episode of Mythbusters, Adam and Jemie were more than willing to test their new myth that the way that we actually board the plane are the most inefficient way to do it. Moreover, it also takes the longest boarding time. Therefore, they planned to test this out using the real size airplane with 173 seats that are an actual normal size plane used in the commercial. This Mythbuster airplane was separated into two sections, first class, and economy class. In order to make the scenario as realistic as possible, the team has invited the four real crews to help sorted the passengers out and but their luggage in the cabins.

The purpose of this lab is to test substances and to determine the physical and chemical properties of substances.

In the novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, written by Harper Lee, there are a multitude of different psychological theories that could be applied to several characters throughout the novel. The two psychological theories that I will be using to analyze one of the main characters, Scout, a six-year-old girl who is intelligent beyond her years, are Erik Erikson’s psychosocial developmental theory and Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences Theory. At the time when Erikson came out with his theory is was different take on the way children developed than the way that Sigmund Freud addressed child development in his cognitive development theory. Erikson downplayed the sexual aspect of development that Freud concentrated on.

They were 67 participants in study 1 and they were students from the Princeton University subject pool, there was an equal amount of men and women in the study and 1 unknown. Also, 2 of the participants were excluded from the study, 1 because he was already exposed to the experiment material and the other

The participants were 21 (19 female and two male) undergraduate students enrolled in a general psychology laboratory class at a small Midwestern university. The participants were selected by convenience sampling, and they received a grade for participating in and completing the experiment. Each participant completed the experiment, and the participants were separated into two groups. The first group consisted of 10 participants that listened to music first, whereas the second group consisted of 11 participants that conversed with the passenger first. The experimental session lasted approximately 1 hr and 30 min.
