Orzetti-Gollhofer Gaby Macias INTRODUCTION The Daphnia is a Crustacean other known as the water flea. It lives in small bodies of freshwater. The Daphnia is ectothermic‚ meaning it controls its body temperature through external means. With this experiment we experienced first hand what the effect temperature has on a Daphnia’s heart rate. We also experimented what effect epinephrine has on a Daphnia’s heart rate. HYPOTHESIS If we add hot water‚ then the Daphnia’s heart rate will increase. If we

Every animal that is hurt is equal to one of three people in the U.S. These mice are used in a wide range of experiments from toxicology to depression (“Mice and Laboratories”). Cancer research‚ drug research‚ and psychological experiments are just a few of the ways animals are used (“Mice and Rats in Laboratories”). Animal testing is not accurate because humans and animals do not share dominant characteristics; so it should

replication of the Hofling Experiment (1966) in 1977‚ nurses who were allowed to consult to whether give an overdose of an unknown drug to a patient to other nurses‚ showed much lower levels of obedience than those nurses who were not allowed to consultation in the Hofling Experiment (Class Hand-out: Hofling Experiment (1966)‚ p. 3). Another external factor which can influence obedience behaviour is whether the authoritative figure is wearing a uniform. The Bickman Experiment (1974)‚ where 153 participants

born with cruelty in them. After reading “The Perils of Obedience”‚ The Kitty Genovese Case”‚ and Darley and Latane’s experiments‚ I realized that humans acts based upon the situation and people around them in a case of emergency. Humans sometimes get confused on whether they should care about the crises or others will take care of it. “The Perils of Obedience” was an experiment done by Stanley Milgram concentrating on the conflict between obedience to the authority and individual’s self.

Unethical Psychology Experiments The Aversion Project 1970s and 1980s Psychologists involved: Colonel Aubrey Levin “Dr. Shock” – former chief psychiatrist The Aversion Project took place in South Africa in a top secret project in the 1970s and 1980s. The apartheid army force in South Africa would force white gays and lesbians to undergo many torture experiments as a means of turning them into heterosexuals. Dr. Levin would give the soldiers electric shock‚ sex change‚ chemical castration and many

and by manipulating the number of people present through each experiment‚ they see how people respond to crisis in larger numbers versus smaller numbers. They concluded that in order for a bystander to act in an emergency the bystander first must “notice that something is happening‚ interpret that the event is an emergency‚ and decide that they have person responsibility to help.” They tested their theories through a series of experiments. They first studied these factors by manipulating the number

(Milgram). Many would argue that Stanley Milgram’s experiment was unethical‚ because they believe that the research caused the subjects psychological stress that was not resolved after the study‚ however‚ I beg to differ. In his own words Stanley Milgram said‚ “In my judgment‚ at no point were subjects exposed to danger and at no point did they run the risk of injurious effects resulting from participation. If it had been otherwise‚ the experiment would have been terminated at once.” Not to mention

Discipline: IMS Semester: 4th Dated: 15th April‚ 2013 Introduction This research paper is about power‚ power gain and power lose. What is the effect on people’s behavior when power increase and decrease. In this research paper four experiments are taken. These experiment were design to investigate the effect of power lose and power gain and to test the specific proposition that in exchange interaction‚ people will ask more than self’s when they gain power but that they will not ask less for them self’s

useless tests. The animals cannot fight for themselves therefore we must. There should be stronger laws to protect them from laboratory experiments. Although private companies run most labs‚ experiments are often conducted by public organizations. The U.S. government‚ the Army and Air Force in particular‚ has designed and conducted many animal experiments. The experiments were engineered so that many animals would suffer and die without any certainty that this suffering and death would save a single
