reports the methods and results of the research. Yet like many other journalists, Jen Kim neglects to inform her audience about certain aspects of the study that are important when analyzing its results. Essential information about the claim and validities of the empirical study are lost in the journal-to-journalism cycle (Morling, 2012). These minor alterations of information should drive the audience to question the accuracy of the popular press article. Both the popular press article and the

The Effects of Change Blindness in Adults: How did we miss that? In the article review, “Failure to Detect Changes in People During a Real-World Interaction,” Daniel T. Levin of Kent University and Daniel J. Simpson of Harvard university sought to research change blindness, but through a different perspective than previous research. In many previous studies, change blindness was tested through moving images, two-dimensional images on television or computer screens, or even through in-lab tests.

Summary Hypothesis If a person participates in many daily activities, exercises early daily scheduling, has consistently scheduled social rhythms, and partakes in activities with active social engagement, then the person will self-report that he or she is a good sleeper. Methods In the study, the between-groups design and the cross-sectional design were used for research. There were 243 participants between the ages of 18 and 39, and the majority were females and Caucasians. The average age was

One of the strengths of the sampling approach is that the external validity is strong for the population of interest: the sample is randomly selected from veterans with PTSD all over the United States. The external validity is not strong for individuals who do not suffer from PTSD, or for individuals who do not live in the United States, as they are not included in the study. The random assignment of the study is also a strength, as this will help reduce sampling error and increase generalizability

Journal of Student Affairs Research and Practice, 47(2), 175-195.

Participants in the telemental health group will take the PCL-M, which is a modified version of the original PCL but modified for those in the military and veterans. The purpose of this measure is to help confirm that the independent variables, telemental health and in-person therapy, do not have an effect on the dependent variable, which is the change in symptoms. This will be measured by the variation between the two groups change score. The scores measured will be from the PCL-M taken at the

The Commercialization of Sport According to Brad Austin (2015), the US university programs on athletics has created tangible links between the authorities of the institution and the alumni group in two ways. One is legitimizing and codifying the alumni interest in men’s and women’s sports. To do this, they even have provided alumni representatives in the athletic governing body. The second one, is the coordination of various alumni events with the yearly homecoming events in the universities of the

Low and Decreasing Self-Esteem During Adolescence Critique Steiger, Allemand, Robins, and Fend (2014) hypothesized that not only the level but also the change in self-esteem affect depression. Using data from over a 23 year span, they investigated adolescent level and change in self-esteem and examined their predictive effects on adult depressive symptoms two decades later. Self-esteem was assessed annually from age 12 to 16, and depression was assessed at age 16 and 35. Subsequently, they found

The argument which I am focusing on is titled “No One Knowingly Does Evil” and is written by Socrates. This argument concludes that those who do evil things do them involuntarily. That is, people do not necessarily want to do evil things, but do them against their will. A very important point is presented by Socrates in that evil deeds are not done willingly. It is thought by many that some people are simply evil-natured and commit evil deeds because they want to. However, Socrates is arguing

A summary of modern practices in employee recruitment and selection methods Business revolves around people. It’s the people in the business that run it so therefore it’s always important to have the best employee to do it. That is why selection is such an important aspect of any organisation, small time or bigger.
