Social Psychology Experiment Replication (Group Project) An experimental Study of The Door in the Face Technique Date: 28/4/2009 ABSTRACT Door in the face technique is a persuasion method in which a requester first asked an extreme request (which was refused) and then a smaller request. Our experiment was conducted to test the effectiveness of door in the face technique for inducing compliance with different strategies when giving requests. Hong Kong Community College

Lab 3: Experimental Design & Hypothesis Testing 1. Some observations found about termites are that they live in moist‚ dark environments‚ they are sterile and lack eyes‚ and their primary task is to collect food. From this information the hypothesis that due to their lack of eyes‚ they use feeling of their skin to find what they are searching for and a pencil line would give a feeling of wood that would attract the termites. By making a course that split into two paths of a pen line and pencil line

AND CULTURAL ANALYSIS AS EXPERIMENTAL SYSTEMS In this weeks reading by Michael M.J. Fischer provides a spectrum of definitions of what culture embodies. Fischer also supplies a vast amount of examples that relate to various classifications of cultures. He describes “cultures as a methodological concept or tool of inquiry‚ might best be understood in terms of its historically layered growth of specifications and differentiations‚ refined into a series of “experimental systems” that‚ in a manner

- Quasi Experimental Design: If the researcher lacks control over the assignment of participants to conditions and does not manipulate the causal variable of interest‚ the design is quasi experimental. o Quasi Experiments do not have internal validity because participants are not randomly assigned to conditions and the researcher may have no control over the independent variable. - Basic Confounds in Quasi Experimental Design are : o History o Maturation (Emotional‚ Physical & Psychological)

EXPERIMENTAL ESTIMATES OF EDUCATION PRODUCTION FUNCTIONS* ALAN B. KRUEGER This paper analyzes data on 11‚600 students and their teachers who were randomly assigned to different size classes from kindergarten through third grade. Statistical methods are used to adjust for nonrandom attrition and transitions between classes. The main conclusions are (1) on average‚ performance on standardized tests increases by four percentile points the first year students attend small classes; (2) the test score

Outline the main features of experimental social psychology and consider the influences that led to its emergence. What do you think are its strengths and weaknesses? Psychology was originally a branch of Philosopy‚ according to Hollway (2007). As more emphasis was placed on following scientific methods and principles‚ psychologists began using laboratory experiments to carry out research into individual behaviours. Experiments were considered to be more objective when considering individuals

reaction in runs 4-6 when the amount of Na2S2O3 was maintained constant and the HCl amount was varied. The complete solution can be found in the Sample Calculations page. Temperature-dependence of Reaction Rate: The Arrhenius Equation Based on the data obtained‚ temperature is directly proportional to the rate of reaction. As the temperature increases‚ the rate of reaction also increases. The average rate of a chemical reaction over a certain interval of time is equal to the change in concentration

Pro Experimental Surgery. Experimental surgery‚ is a taboo subject. Many oppose it‚ many do not. Doctors perform surgery on someone in an effort to make them feel better or learn a little more about their condition. When scientists and doctors try new things they usually try them on animals‚ studying the results‚ heightening their techniques‚ and exploring new ways to heal people. But sometimes doctors are put on the spot‚ so they have to take action or someone will be seriously hurt. Experimental
