Errors in Attribution It is human nature for us to think about other people’s actions and intentions and then process what they mean. In this way‚ we form attributions‚ which help us understand others’ purposes and objectives. There are two main types of attributions. The first is dispositional attribution‚ which are assumptions that are made based on someone’s behaviour where a person assumes the behaviour is caused by someone’s personality or character. The second type is a situational attribution

Question 1 Given what we know about localization of function in the human brain‚ is it scientifically legitimate to categorize people as left-brained or right-brained? Hemispheric lateralization‚ as discovered by Roger W. Sperry (1965)‚ ascribes to the specialization of one cerebral hemisphere or the other in controlling specific functions (Passer‚ Smith‚ Holt‚ Bremner‚ Sutherland & Vliek‚ 2009). In recent years‚ there appears to be a growing phenomenon in the generalization

Type I and II errors Mistakenly rejecting the null hypothesis is a type 1 error. These errors are not avoidable and are part of statistical testing‚ but we can lessen the occurrence by setting the significance at a lower level. However‚ by setting the significance level lower; let us say .001‚ we then increase the chance of type 2 errors. Failing to correctly reject the null hypothesis creates a type 2 error‚ this is because; according to Aron (2009) “with an extreme significance level like

Experimental Errors and Uncertainty No physical quantity can be measured with perfect certainty; there are always errors in any measurement. This means that if we measure some quantity and‚ then‚ repeat the measurement‚ we will almost certainly measure a different value the second time. How‚ then‚ can we know the “true” value of a physical quantity? The short answer is that we can’t. However‚ as we take greater care in our measurements and apply ever more refined experimental methods‚ we can reduce
