1. The physician in this video went against the patient's wishes. The nurses in the clip followed the physician's orders and participated in the resuscitation. What professional roles and/or attributes that we discussed in class did they ignore and how should they have responded in this situation? Describe specific examples of professional communication techniques they could have used.

In reading chapter 2, I have encountered plethora of information acquired from PSYC 845. For instance, the population and its composites. The question of identifying how the population is made. In behavioral science the most targeted population is often “humans” and sometimes a research might target secondary objection or population such as human condition or frequented institutions. I have also learned that the population should be evaluated before it is considered or determined; sample should be evaluated for validity and reliability of the results. It is evident that some sample be discredited. Generalization is an interesting domain which researchers focus on to determine its interests, or the interest of the research design. I also recall

Wind resource at a geographic location is highly variable. Power generated from WTG depends on the wind speed, which fluctuates randomly with time. Wind power studies, therefore, require accurate models to forecast wind speed variation for wind farm locations of interest. Wind speed distributions are often characterized by Weibull distributions. Historical hourly data for the wind farm site collected over significant time are normally required to obtain the shaping parameters

4. Test with an experiment – Describe an experiment that would allow you to test your hypothesis from question 3. This description must provide ample detail to show knowledge of experimental design and should list the independent and dependent variables, as well as your control.

Box 3.2: Why do it this way? is especially relevant, as it considers an important advantage of the experimental method. Chapter 6: No experiments are discussed in this chapter, however, the essay question requires you to discuss the value of experiments. Consider if there are certain aspects of human behaviour and/or performance that cannot be meaningfully investigated using experiments. What are the alternative methods of studying behaviour? Sections 2 and 3 of Chapter 6 are relevant in this respect.

What was the independent variable (or predictor variable) used in the experiment(s) (note: there could be multiple IVs)?

Death is an experience that we will all have to encounter at some stage in life, but for those with elderly parents or relatives, the experience becomes more real. “The experience of dying not only affects the person who is dying but also caregivers, family members, and friends who are left behind” (Osterbur, 2015, p. 102 ) and I can associate with that. My maternal grandmother suffered a major stroke and was later diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.  She died in the hospital 2 years ago. Unfortunately, she was not a recipient of hospice care and the task of caring for her was done at home with the help of a hired aide and family members. Novak (2012), explains that many are faced with the dilemma of institutional death or at home and the decision to prolong care or end treatment can be burdensome (p. 411). It was an uphill battle and emotionally draining for my mom and

A control variable is one that is held constant in order to assess or clarify the relationship between two other variables. For example, if we held constant the variable of gender (just looking at males) we could examine the relationship between age and optimism in males.

Psychology is an applied as well as an academic field that studies both the human mind and behavior. The research in psychology attempts to explain and understand behavior, emotion and thought. The subject of psychology was created when Wilhelm Wundt opened up the very first psychology lab in Leipzig, Germany. Wilhelm Wundt believed that individuals who are appropriately trained would most likely be able to recognize the mental processes that are accompanied with feelings, thoughts and sensations (Wagner , 2009).

Psychologists and researchers have conducted many studies to prove that the violence within children’s cartoons correlates with the level of aggressiveness within children.

In order to be considered a science, Psychology must consequently adhere to using a scientific method. If this were, as usual,

Some watched cartoons that had many violent and aggressive acts; others watched shows that did not have any kind of violence. The researchers noticed real differences between the children who watched violent shows and those who watched non-violent shows. Children who watched the violent shows were more likely to argue, disobey, strike playmates, and become impatient ( ). Children’s minds are like sponges; they take in everything around them, and unless they are told something is not ok, they will believe that it is ok to do the example presented to them.

A study by Bjorkqvist (1985) showed that even cartoon character violence has an affect on children. In the experiment who used 87 kids. 45 from preschool

* Many cartoons depict scenes of violence or danger, yet whitewash the effects of that violence. For instance, a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle may beat up a bad guy in one scene, only to see that bad guy appear unharmed in the next scene. Without proper lessons to counterbalance those effects, children may grow up aggressive and eager to engage in violence -- unaware that the real world contains far more consequences than what a TV show depicts.

My research question is: What is the degree of difference between the sexes’ perception of the most attractive Korean female body shape? The independent variable is native Korean men’s perception of the most attractive Korean female body shape and the dependent variable is native Korean women’s perception of the female body shape that they think
