College students from Yale University were asked to participate in an experiment to test the effects of punishment on learning. They were willing to continue

Ethnomethodology As an opening to this project‚ I have to mention how uneasy I was with having to invade my own personal space in order to complete this assignment. My stomach was actually turning flips just thinking about having to get too close to anybody‚ but I did manage to get close enough to complete the assignment. Ethnomethodology would be the only way to be able to do a study of personal space‚ because once you take someone out of their normal surroundings or situations‚ the rules change

or vary in some way. By employing both experimental and control groups in an experiment‚ investigators are enabled to rule out the possibility that something other than the experimental manipulation produced the results observed during the experiment. This type of research can be broadly divided into three main types: The Laboratory Experiment‚ The Field Experiment and The Natural Experiment. In a laboratory experiment‚ there is a systematic variation of the independent variables while other irrelevant

v. Reliability The experiment was unreliable. This is because no repeat trials were performed. A number of possible inconsistencies were outlined with regards to accuracy. As no repeat trials were performed‚ the results obtained may have merely been the outliers in the experiment so therefore be unreliable. This is because repeat trials need to be performed until a constant result is obtained in order for the experiment to be considered reliable. Ideally‚ a number of repeat trials should have been

less. Literature Review Many experiments have been conducted to test the strength and absorbency of paper towels. While the steps of the experiment vary from test to test‚ all of experiments are testing the same two factors; how much water can each paper towel brand absorb and how strong are each of the paper towels. Below I have reviewed the process and results from three experiments that are similar to the one I will be using. In the first experiment‚ the tester uses five brands of paper

of strict punishment to the violators of the ethics in research should be a priority. In the 1900‚ a small group of American doctors did unethical experiments on prisoners in the Philippines. Five prisoners were chosen to infect with the bubonic plague. They also infected another group of twenty nine prisoners with beriberi. These experiments were just as unethical as any other experimentation done on human beings. These prisoners were imprisoned targets for the American doctors who chose

FIELD EXPERIMENTS IN ECONOMICS By: Ravisha Sodha INTRODUCTION: Field experiments occupy an important middle ground between laboratory experiments and naturally occurring field data. The underlying idea behind most field experiments is to make use of randomization in an environment that captures important characteristics of the real world. Distinct from traditional empirical economics‚ field experiments provide an advantage by permitting the researcher to create exogenous variation in the variables

establishes causation by using independent and dependent variables in a controlled environment. KEY POINTS Experiments are generally the most precise studies and have the most conclusive power. They are particularly effective in supporting hypotheses about cause and effect relationships. However‚ since the conditions are artificial‚ they may not apply to everyday situations. A well designed experiment has features that control random variables to make sure that the effect measured is caused by the independent
