- Quasi Experimental Design: If the researcher lacks control over the assignment of participants to conditions and does not manipulate the causal variable of interest‚ the design is quasi experimental. o Quasi Experiments do not have internal validity because participants are not randomly assigned to conditions and the researcher may have no control over the independent variable. - Basic Confounds in Quasi Experimental Design are : o History o Maturation (Emotional‚ Physical & Psychological)

DOE - Design of Experiment DOE is an approach used to identify factors/steps that are contributing most to an observed variation in product specifications. The classical DOE focuses on identifying the factors that affect the level of a product/process response‚ examining the response and forming the mathematical prediction model. The modern DOE‚ introduced by Genichi Taguchi in early 1980s‚ applies in both product and process development to identify the factors that affect the variability of the

The Milgram Experiment Stanley Milgram‚ a famous social psychologist‚ and student of Solomon Asch‚ conducted a controversial experiment in 1961‚ investigating obedience to authority (1974). The experiment was held to see if a subject would do something an authority figure tells them‚ even if it conflicts with their personal beliefs and morals. He even once said‚ "The social psychology of this century reveals a major lesson: often it is not so much the kind of person a man is as the kind of situation

Individual Project Unit 2 Experiments In this individual project we were asked to conduct three experiments. The three experiments I chose to conduct were Experiment 1‚ Experiment 2‚ and Experiment 4. I have documented my findings for the experiments that were done. In Experiment 1‚ I was to rub my index finger gently over a piece of very coarse sandpaper for a few times. Then‚ I was to rate its coarseness on a scale from 1 (very soft) to 7 (very coarse)

The Milgram experiment The Milgram experiment came about by a Yale University psychologist by the name of Stanley Milgram. The experiment was to test how well the study participants were and the willingness of study participants to obey an authority figure who instructed them to perform acts that conflicted with what they thought was right. He concluded people obey either out of fear or out of a desire to appear cooperative even when acting against their own better judgment and desires. Stanley

ABSTRACT The Stroop experiment focuses on the interference of a person’s reaction time on a given task. Certain tasks can be performed with more accuracy due to the fact that our brain becomes conditioned to react automatically after exposure of the stimuli. In this particular experiment‚ eight-teen college students underwent the Stroop experiment in individualized laboratory rooms. Four students were male and fourteen were females. The experiment helped us examine the horse race model

loss from the hot water from combining it with the cold water. As discussed in a page titled Heat Capacity2‚ the heat capacity is defined as the amount of heat it takes to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree (in this case C). In the experiment performed in lab‚ the heat capacity of the calorimeters was calculated by subtracting the heat gain from the heat loss and then dividing that by the difference in the temperatures between cold water and the combination of the hot and cold water

The main focus of this experiment was to find the relationship between temperature and the enzyme activity of amylase. This was achieved by attaining amylase enzyme‚ starch solution and potassium iodide (determines if enzymes hydrolyses the starch solution)‚ water bath and a hot plate. The temperatures used for this experiment were room temperature‚ 37oC‚ 60oC‚ 80oC‚ and 90oC. The hypothesis developed was that as the temperature increased‚ so will enzyme activity. Therefore‚ the ability of the
