Dependent and independent variables

For this assignment, please answer the questions below and submit your responses.

Part 1: Identifying independent (IV) and dependent variables (DV).

1. Jury decisions are influenced by the attractiveness of the defendant.

What is the IV:

What is the DV:

2. A drug company is advertising a new drug that helps people recover from

jet lag faster. You are skeptical so you conduct an experiment to test their claim.

In your experiment, 100 people are flown from San Francisco to Tokyo. During

the flight, half the subjects are given the drug company’s new drug. The other half of the subjects are given a placebo (i.e., sugar pill) during the flight. Six hours after they land, all subjects are asked to rate how sleepy and disoriented they feel.

What is the IV:

What is the DV:

3. A psychology professor is interested in studying if students’ grades improve

if provided a study guide. In the research study, half of the class receives a

study guide and the other half do not. After the first exam, the professor examines all students’ scores.

What is the IV:

What is the DV:

Part 2: Operationally defining variables.

Remember that the variables that we make hypotheses about are often abstract

constructs. Designing research to examine the relationships between variables

involves the process of operationally defining those variables in terms of how they are manipulated or measured. Consider the following research description, identify the variables (both the IV and DV) and briefly describe how they are operationally defined (how are they measured)

4. The nonconscious mimicry of the behaviors of interacting partners is referred to as the chameleon effect. Chartrand and Bargh (1999) performed a study to examine how mimicry within an interaction influenced the quality of the interaction and liking between partners. They had pairs of participants describe

what they saw in photographs. One of the participants in each pair was a confederate (working with the researchers). Half of the confederates were

instructed to mirror the behaviors of their partner, while the other half engaged in neutral mannerisms. Following the picture description interaction, participants

completed questionnaires asking them to report how much they liked their partner (the confederate) and how smoothly the interaction had gone. The results showed that participants rated the interaction smoother and reported liking their partners more in the mimic condition than in the neutral condition

Weekly Discussion

Part one

There are three primary social theories (functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism) which are used to evaluate social problems. In this discussion board, you are to evaluate the chosen issue/problem that you identified for your Capstone Project from these perspectives topic is Pressure Ulcers. Describe how a functionalist, a conflict theorist, and someone ascribing to symbolic interactionism would explain the key issue and the factors that have led to this issue.

Remember that you can draw on what you have learned from your previous courses as well as acceptable academic sources to refresh your memory on these theories and then apply them to your selected issue.

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references.

Part two

As you approach the end of your academic journey, think back to all the research that you have put into this accomplishment. You have been writing and honing your communication skills throughout your academic tenure. This week your assignment is to create an annotated bibliography. In this discussion board, please present the five most important things you have learned about research in your field of study over your time at Ashford. These factors could include study tips, time saving techniques, ideas about the best attitudes for research, methods for reviewing articles and resources, tips for formatting, ways to structure your physical learning environment and temporal learning periods, or any other categories that you find important. Explain how you learned those methods and techniques and how you have honed your ability to do research as you progressed through the social science major.

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references.

Need help understanding this topic and writing this essay on Heideigger

In his essay “The Question Concerning Technology,” Heidegger claims that technology is a

mode of revealing, with modern technology in particular revealing nature as standing-reserve.

Do information technologies like cell phones, social media, and the like, constitute a new mode

of revealing? First, give a brief presentation of Heidegger’s analysis of modern technology. Then,

either a) argue that information technology reveals nature in a way other than as standing-reserve

or b) argue that information technology reveals nature in the same way as modern technology

more generally. 500 words, Use MLA or Chicago-Turabian formatting and citation guidelines.
