Psychopaths display a constellation of traits that render them a dangerous group of individuals. While psychopaths live among us, many can be found within the criminal justice system. In fact, many have a history of violent behavior in general, and sexual aggression in particular. Some research has suggested that psychopaths have difficulty distinguishing the emotions displayed in facial expressions and also attribute hostile intentions to innocuous situations. These patterns have been thought to contribute to the violence psychopaths display. In this study, the researcher presents a short video clip of a person describing a situation that is either innocuous or aggressive while displaying either a fearful or angry facial expression. Twenty psychopaths (n=20) are recruited to participate and are asked to identify their response by selecting it on the computer screen. Their response time (in seconds) is being measured in order to determine if psychopaths respond differently depending on the type of scene and the emotion being displayed. Test this hypothesis at an alpha at 0.05 and use all of the steps of hypothesis testing. Table 5. Psychopaths response reaction time (secs) to scenes being described with different emotions

Some research has shown that older parents are not as strict when disciplining their children compared to younger parents. Children of older parents are more likely to be in daycare and have greater independence than children of younger parents, whereas children of younger parents are more likely to be at home with parents and other siblings, and encounter more home discipline. A researcher observed the disciplinary habits of 456 families with at least one child, categorizing each as "high" or "low" in terms of disciplinary strictness. The families were also divided into older parents (those 29 years of age or younger) and older parents (30 years old and up). Are the following data consistent with the hypothesis that older parents are not as strict when disciplining their children? Calculate gamma and interpret it's direction and magnitude, and summarize your findings in a few sentences. Level of discipline Parental age 29 years or younger 30 years or…
As you read about each study, (a) classify the type of research that it reflects, and (b) identify the kinds of conclusions that might reasonably be drawn from the results. The director of computer technology in Emerson School District wants to gather information about the use of technology-based instruction in language arts and literature classes in the district's middle schools and high schools. For her study, the director identifies five of the top teachers in these content areas. She visits and observes each teacher's classes on three different days and subsequently interviews each teacher. Then she summarizes the ways that these teachers incorporate the use of technology into their lessons and their students' activities. The director also summarizes teachers' beliefs about the roles of technology in students' learning and motivation. (a) Classify the research as one of the following: Quantitative/descriptive Quantitative/correlational…
Students who are home-schooled often attend their local schools to participate in various types of activities such as sports or musical ensembles. According to the government, 82% of home-schoolers receive their education entirely at home, while 12% attend school up to 9 hours per week and 6% spend from 9 to 25 hours per week at school. A survey of 85 students who are home-schooled revealed the following information about where they receive their education. Entirely at home Up to 9 hours 9 to 25 hours 50 25 10 At α=0.05, is there suffificient evidence to conclude that the proportions differ from those stated by the government?
A health researcher studying child birth is interested in the possible effect that smoking by the mother during pregnancy has on the baby's birth weight. To investigate, the researcher conducts an observational study by reviewing 400 records of women in their twenties who have recently given birth for the first time. For each record, he notes whether or not the woman smoked during pregnancy and the baby's birth weight, in addition to the woman's education level, and age. From the data, the researcher creates two groups: women in their twenties who smoked during pregnancy and women in their twenties who did not smoke during pregnancy. Then he compares the average birth weight between the two groups. (a)Why might the researcher have chosen to perform an observational study (by gathering information from past records) and not a randomized experiment (by assigning pregnant women to either the smoking or nonsmoking group at random)? Choose the best answer from the choices below. In a…
All of us have a tendency to categorize people into stereotypic groups. If you look around at the students on campus, you will see science geeks, artsy freaks, jocks, wallflowers, cheerleaders, and party animals, just to mention a few. Part of stereotyping is to assume that all the individuals in a particular category share some common characteristics that make them different from the rest of us. These assumed differences can be the basis for a research study. a. dentify a stereotype that describes one group of college students and list one characteristic that presumably makes them different from other students. b. Describe a research study that could be used to determine whether the stereotype is accurate. That is, describe a research study that would determine whether the characteristic you identified really is different for the stereotypic group.

Childhood maltreatment is thought to be linked to adult narcissistic traits. In particular, it is thought that the more severe the childhood maltreatment, the more a person would suffer from the vulnerable form of narcissism. Individuals with this type of personality disorder display attention-seeking behaviors, lack empathy, are resentful, have an inferiority complex, and viewcriticism as a personal attack. As a result, these individuals can be very resentful and vindictive towards others. A research clinician has a sample of n=20 patients who have suffered extreme childhood maltreatment and agree to be assessed on a well-known interval scale for vulnerable narcissism. For the general population, scores on the vulnerable narcissism scale are normally distributed with a μ = 25 and s=4. The sample of patients score an average of M=29. Can the research clinician conclude that the sample of patients who have experienced childhood maltreatment score significantly higher in vulnerable…

Rebecca Chory, Ph.D., now an associate professor of communication at West Virginia University, began studying the effect of such portrayals on patients' attitudes toward physicians. Using a survey of 300 undergraduate students, she compared perceptions of physicians in 1992—the end of the era when physicians were shown as all-knowing, wise father figures—with those in 1999, when shows such as ER and Chicago Hope (1994–2000) were continuing the transformation to showing the private side and lives of physicians, including vivid demonstrations of their weaknesses and insecurities. Dr. Chory found that, regardless of the respondents' personal experience with physicians, those who watched certain kinds of television had declining perceptions of physicians' composure and regard for others. Her results indicated that the more prime time physician shows that people watched in which physicians were the main characters, the more uncaring, cold, and unfriendly the respondents thought physicians…

A survey was conducted that included several questions about how internet users feel about search engines and other websites collecting information about them and using this information either to shape search results or target advertising to them. In one question, participants were asked, "If a search engine kept track of what you search for, and then used that information to personalize your future search results, how would you feel about that?" Respondents could indicate either "Would not be okay with it because you feel it is an invasion of your privacy" or "Would be okay with it, even if it means they are gathering information about you." Frequencies of responses by age group are summarized in the following table. Age Not Okay Okay 18–29 0.1486 0.0603 30–49 0.2274 0.0906 50+ 0.4009 0.0722 (a) What is the probability a survey respondent will say she or he is not okay with this practice? (b) Given a respondent is 30–49 years old, what is the probability the…
