- 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)

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)

1932‚ the United States Public Health Service (USPHS) conducted an experiment in Macon Country‚ Alabama‚ to study the progression of syphilis in black males known as the “Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment”. During this experiment‚ medical professionals intentionally withheld treatment for syphilis after deceitfully promising these volunteers beneficial treatment to help combat the disease. Until this day‚ the Tuskegee syphilis experiment is an infamous clinical study in America’s history that delineates

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

Bread Mold Experiment Mold is something that we often take for granted‚ as something that makes us have to throw the bread away or the cheese smell bad. Mold is‚ in fact‚ a fascinating organism which has had many different uses over the years and our lives would not be the same without it. Most of us know that food seems to become moldy more quickly in the summer than in the winter when it is colder. Food in refrigerators seems to keep longer than food left out in the sun. Is this true? Does temperature

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

is still open to controversy. Does a dose of caffeine heighten one ’s mental performance‚ or does it achieve the opposite? Many experiments have already taken place in order to discover how caffeine effects a person ’s mental performance. In the Radiological Society of America ’s annual conference in December of 2005‚ Florian Koppelstatter reported an experiment in which he used functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI) to determine how coffee effects brain activity. Subjects were then given

The Afterlife Investigations: The Scole Experiment “Best evidence of life after death ever.” This is what this documentary film is pointing out. Is there really a life after death? Well this film makes me believe more that there is indeed a life after death. However‚ how can scientific evidence explain life after death? Now this film showed me how. The ninety-minute documentary film is about the Scole Experiment‚ which is a five-year investigation into life after death. It is conducted by
