Medication error- Limitations: Limitations of this study included cost‚ extraneous variables‚ nurses having personal issues‚ attrition rates and lack of participation due to method of return. As more data are collected‚ the issue of nurse to nurse variation and non-response biases can be addressed empirically. Also nurses rushing through

The Effect of Varying Levels of Interference on Response Time to Naming Ink Colors The Stroop effect is the response latency due stimulus interference (Wikipedia). John Ridley Stroop’s experiment in 1935 had two different stimuli paradigms: low and high interference. The low interference stimuli consisted of “Reading color names printed in

manipulating the independent variable. This type of design is often utilized when it is not possible to control the experience‚ exposure‚ or influences which may affect participants. The purpose of experimental or quasi-experimental research is to establish a cause and effect relationship between two variables. The researcher deliberately manipulates a treatment (or independent variable) and measures how it affects the behavior or reaction of subjects (the dependent variable). In order for this research

Measurement of Heart Rate for Autonomic Nervous System Abstract: The Autonomic Nervous System lab was designed to measure reaction times by using a variety of tests that affect the heart rate. These tests were the startle‚ stroop‚ Valsalva maneuver‚ diving reflex‚ and a test of our choice. The test our group chose to measure the heart rate in response to doing a trust fall to anticipate the stress right before the fall. To begin this lab we chose a participant‚ and then hooked their finger

There were some limitations caused by omitting extraneous variables in the current research that must be taken into account. To begin with‚ a confounding variable that may have affected the results in the present study was social dominance orientation. Social dominance orientation is defined as an orientation accentuating hierarchical structures‚ and supporting individuals to outcast members of lower class out-groups as competition (Pratto‚ Sidanius‚ Stallworth‚ & Malle‚ 1994). Both RWA and social

to find how the Cause and effect of relationships can be established. Laboratory methods usually have High levels of control over extraneous variables. One of the major strengths of laboratory experiments is‚ control. The more variables you have control over‚ the easier it becomes to draw conclusions about the effect of the individual variable on the dependent variable. Laboratory experiments allow for high levels of control which are evident in the study of Bandura‚ Ross ands Ross (1961)‚ for example
