Introduction: As social animals humans enjoy sociallyinteracting with each other and we have a need to be accepted within a group (Aronson‚ 2012). This interaction is what makes us unique and it allows us to convey our emotions‚ facilitate discussions‚ or even pass down knowledge. However‚ this social interaction also expose us to social influences‚ and this is significant because we as individuals constantly engage in these interactions. This meant that our opinions and behaviors are not static

EXPERIMENT NO-1 AIM- To determine the frequency of A. C. mains by using an electric vibrator. APPARATUS- Electric vibrator‚ table lamp‚ pulley‚ weight box‚ fishing cord‚ a. c. source. THEORY- when a cord of mass per unit length m is connected to the vibrating rod of the vibrator and stretched with a tension T‚ the cord vibrators in segments. If the length of the cord is then adjusted until the nodes are clearly marked‚ the frequency of the stretched string is the same as of the vibrating rod which

stated that “perhaps the most fundamental lesson of our study is that ordinary people doing their jobs‚ and without particular hostility on their part‚ can become agents in a terrible destructive process.” Milgram’s stunning conclusions‚ which were derived from his experiments‚ proved that obedience is one of the basic elements in the structure of social life. The proximately of the victim‚ responsibility for the actions‚ and perceived legitimate authority figures will greatly determine how far an

Experience told her what the question would be: Had the “Aberdeen experiment‚” begun by Bob Lancaster when the plant was built‚ undergone any changes over the past quarter century? From the beginning‚ Lancaster’s design and management of the plant‚ which produced missile launch canisters for the U.S. Navy‚ were unusual—and successful

Discussions and Scientific Explanations The first goal of this project was to first construct a calorimeter. The second goal was to measure the heat capacity of the constructed calorimeter. The third and fourth goal was to determine what reactions were to be investigated and what variations of the reactions would be studied. The two requirements that were kept in mind while creating the calorimeter were that it should be a good insulator‚ meaning that it does not allow for the transfer of heat

Design Experiment: Enzyme Inhibitors. Research question: What is the effect of adding lead nitrate solution on the activity of amylase enzyme? Aim: To test the effect of adding nitrate solution on the activity of amylase. Background Information: Inhibitors are molecules which repress or prevent another molecule from engaging in a reaction. They are substances that attach themselves onto an enzyme and reduce or prevent the enzyme’s ability to catalyse reactions. Competitive Inhibitors are inhibitors

In 1932‚ in the area surrounding the Tuskegee‚ Macon County‚ Alabama‚ the U.S. Public Health Service created a government funded study to be conducted on 600 African American men that were lured in with the promise of free health care. What this study consisted of was testing these men for the sexually transmitted disease syphilis. After the testing was completed 399 infected and 201 healthy men were not told anything except that they had a condition called “bad blood” and that they must continue

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
