To determine: The correlation between body hair and intelligence based on the research by Dr. Alias.
Introduction: Genetics is a branch of biology, which deals with the molecular basis of inheritance in the species. The inherited traits are those traits, which an individual gets from their parents and the behavioral traits are those who are learned by an individual.
To determine: The factors that contribute to intelligence.

- Does blood type determine your personality? In a study aimed at answering this question, a random sample of 100 adults was given a personality test, and a comparison was made between the scores on the introversion/extroversion scale and blood type (A, B, AB, О). (a) Is this an experiment, a retrospective observational study, or a prospective observational study? (b) Comment on the extent to which inferences can be drawn about a larger population and whether cause and effect can be established.arrow_forwardLabel the following examples as metacognitive knowledge, monitoring, or control. a. You set aside additional time for studying after recognizing that you won’t have enough time to get through all the chapters before your test next week. b. You know that you find it difficult to write tests without sufficient sleep. c. You notice that people tend to disengage from conversations with you when you begin complaining about how much you hate work.arrow_forwardDiscuss the following Theories related to a 1 year old child ability to speak and development of language briefly. 1. Behavioural theory 2. Nativistic theory 3. Semantic cognitive theory 4. Social pragmatic theory 5.Social interaction theory 6. Sociocultural theoryarrow_forward
- What is the best option from the three theories: BEHAVIORISM, COGNITIVE AND ALBERT BANDURA to utilize in medical field nowadays? Provide answer with supporting literature.arrow_forwardThe Flynn effect is well known phenomenon in psychology. It states that, when using thesame IQ test, test subjects born later generally receive higher scores than test subjects born earlier.Therefore, being born later correlates with higher IQ test scores (if the tests aren’t changed). Wouldit be correct to say that being younger causes you to have a higher IQ? Why or why not?arrow_forwardA researcher designed a study to test whether exposure to conflict influences infants’ ability to discriminate emotional expressions. They randomly assigned 30 7-month-old infants to witness an argument between two puppets and 30 additional 7-month-olds to witness the same puppets playing a game. They then used a preferential looking paradigm to test whether infants could discriminate between fearful and angry faces. They found that infants who had witnessed the argument spent more time looking at angry compared to fearful faces. Infants who witnessed play looked at both faces for the same amount of time. This research design is ____________. The experimenters _________ infer that exposure to conflict influenced emotion discrimination. Select one: a. Correlational; can b. Correlational; cannot c. Experimental; can d. Experimental; cannotarrow_forward
- Researchers studying whether a certain new medicine reduces pain conducted the following study. (Note the following is a made-up example). Subjects with painful arthritis were randomly assigned to one of three groups: *Group A received a yellow pill with real medicine-the medicine being evaluated. *Group B received no medicine, no pill. Group C received a fake pill-yellow 1 with no medicine in it. Subjects with painful arthritis used a ten-point pain scale to rate their joint pain before and after their treatment. Which of the groups is the placebo group? (a) Group A (b) Group B (c) Group Carrow_forwardAccording to Sigmund Freud, which of the following statements is true? Children go through four stages of cognitive development as they actively construct their understanding of the world. The primary motivation for human behavior is social in nature. Children's social interaction with more-skilled adults and peers is indispensable to their cognitive development. People's basic personality is shaped during the first 5 years of their life.arrow_forwardScenario #1 A young man with a moderate cognitive disability came to the doctor’s office. You are the office nurse. When you call the man for his appointment, he does not respond. You call his name again, and the man gets up from his chair–you tell him to follow you. You direct the man to the scale to get his weight. Another staff member says to you, loud enough for the man to hear, “Oh I needed to deal with him a few weeks ago–he just doesn’t understand anything. I ended up just estimating his weight because he didn’t understand what I told him to do. A lot of retards are like that.” Questions 1. What type of abuse is there in each scenario? Explain your answer in detail. 2. How could the situation be handled differently? 3. What legal ramifications might there be for each scenario?arrow_forward

When he leaves the woman he tells you that she really did not need the extraction, but she is old and will believe…arrow_forward1. In the context of the different approaches to studying cognitive development, which of the following approaches measures quantitative differences in abilities that make up intelligence by using tests that indicate or predict these abilities?Group of answer choices a. The behaviorist approach b. The psychometric approach c. The information-processing approach d. The social-contextual approach 2. In which of the following countries is violent crime and physical punishment of children more frequent?Group of answer choices a. The People's Republic of China b. The United States of America c.

In the study, they looked at treatment given to all emergency department patients at UCLA between the ages of 15 and 55 over a two-year period for the treatment of an isolated long-bone fracture to arm or leg. They selected this injury because it is one of the most consistently painful. The patients had no other serious injuries. Given the community served, these patients were either Hispanic (31 patients) or White (108 patients). They found: - 17 of the 31 Hispanic patients (55%) received no medication for pain during treatment - 28 of the 108 White patients (26%) received no medication for pain during treatment Many professional colleagues criticized the study and suggested that different ethnic groups respond to pain differently. That Hispanic patients may be more stoic in the face of their injury, expressing fewer symptoms of pain…arrow_forward
