controversial. People‚ especially expectant mothers‚ are all wondering‚ is it true? Since the original experiment in 1993‚ hundreds of studies have been conducted to either try to reinforce the idea‚ or disprove it. Although some researchers have tried to back up the Mozart effect‚ most have failed. Very few have been able to successfully replicate Rauscher‚ Shaw‚ and Ky’s (1993) experiment and obtain similar data. Several hypotheses have been formed to predict why the results are so contradicting

We have set three main experiments‚ the first one leaving trash around the garbage can and seeing if anyone bothers to pick it up. This one is very simple because people do not usually relate it to values‚ but we believe taking care of our planet is a main value we should all have‚ which can be represented as respect for your environment. The second one consists of us giving candy to children but asking them to just take one and see if they take one or a bunch. This experiment is an example of a day

Investigating the best fabric for science laboratory clothing. (Final Report) Abstract: This experiment looked at the effectiveness of cotton‚ wool and polyester to come up with a hypothesis to which material would be the best used in a lab coat. After the hypothesis was made an experiment was done on the 3 materials‚ to find out which material is the best to use in a lab coat. The results of the experiment were that wool was the best material to be used in a lab coat. Introduction: Scientists and

Brianna Hogan Oct. 16‚ 2013 Psychology Surgical Experiments Throughout the 1840’s on the east coast of the United States‚ J. Marion Sims‚ “the father of Gynecology” performed surgical experiments on enslaved African women who were suffering from fistula problems‚ against their will‚ without any anesthesia. That is a very painful procedure to go through with unclean tools and no medicine to ease the pain. Only one out of thirty patients survived. In order to test one of his theories about the

AbstractThere were flaws in the experiment. With the measuring cups it was difficult to tell whether or not the estimation was correct. If the experiment were to be done again‚ it would have ice in the measuring cups to see how the cold would make any changes in the evaporation. The experiment was done because evaporation is something that is interesting to see what happens after the experiment is over. The experiment was done by making the water have different additives in it and seeing which one

In my experiment‚ I investigated the question “How does the amount of solute affect the time it takes for the solute to dissolve?” I thought about this question for a very long time and come up with a hypothesis for the investigation was “If the amount of solute increases‚ then the time for the solute to dissolve will increase. This is because the solute will become more concentrated and it won’t disolve into the solvent as fast. (Sadner‚ 2008)” Looking at the data I collected‚ I think that this

It follows that charitable companies should offer a few thank you gifts to increase donations right? Wrong. According to a recent study by George Newman and Jeremy Shen‚ thank you gifts actually decrease charitable donations. Six separate experiments were utilized within this study to explain the counterintuitive phenomenon. Their findings offer support for the motivational crowding theory‚ in which extrinsic motivators such as gifts undermine intrinsic motivation. Shen and Newman initially
