They suspected that loss framing is associated with unfairness. To examine their finding, ATHK 1001 has conducted a similar survey to validate Zhou and Wu’s study. Hypotheses A series of null hypotheses have been used. The first hypothesis (H1) proposed that gain frame condition makes proposers to make more unfair offers. The second hypothesis (H2) postulates that very unfair offers are more likely to be accepted in the loss frame condition. While the last hypothesis (H3) assumed that proposers will rate acceptors as more likely to accept their offers in gain frame. Methodology Samples A total 793 participants (485 female, 308 male; mean age 20.6 years) coming from ATHK1001 class and the other class have been selected in the...

...Journal Article Review by Madison Goodpasture Abnormal Psychology - 2230 December 9, 2015 Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a mental condition that affects ~5-10% of children with symptoms such as inattentiveness, impulsiveness, and hyperactivity. While both children and adults can have ADHD, it is typically diagnosed in children around the age of seven. Along with inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness, ADHD is also thought to lead to other behavioral issues including substances use/abuse and addiction. Since ADHD can continue through adolescence and into adulthood, it is important to learn if this disorder puts individuals at risk substance use. The object of one study conducted by Brooke S.G. Molina and William E. Pelham, Jr. was to clarify the magnitude of risk for early substance use and SUD in clinic-referred children with ADHD compared to children without ADHD. Their results were published in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 2003, Vol.112, No.3, in their paper titled, “Childhood Predictors of Adolescent Substance use in a Longitudinal Study of Children with ADHD”. The research was performed by two distinguished psychologists, Dr. Molina and her mentor, Dr. Pelham, both of whom have significant experience in studying ADHD in children. The article reference section was lengthy and covered numerous topics of children behavior specific to ADHA issues. The authors themselves had several other publications included in the References. The longitudinal...

...Psychology Term Paper Anber Nickelberry General Psychology Baseline Information I. State the Problem Drivers are using courteous driving practices. Research suggests that drivers will not allow entry from II. lanes when needed by other drivers. Research was gathered for 5 days during weekend and weekday hours. Of all the research gathered, drivers were not willing to allow access/entry from the center turning lane into the adjacent lane. II. Theory Drivers are reluctant to practice courteous driving practices by allowing drivers from center turning lanes to merge into regular lanes. III. Hypothesis Between Saturday morning around 8:55 am until Wednesday morning around 7:45 am drivers in the center turning lane will be denied entry into the regular traffic lanes by fellow drivers. Center turning lanes are defined as a lane that allows drivers entry to a busy road until they are able to access the direction needed. They are also referred to as turning lanes. Driver is defined as somebody who can drive: somebody who operates a motor vehicle, or who is capable of operating one. IV. Procedure or Methodology I selected a road that I travel on a regular basis and accessed the center turning lane on multiple occasions to see if fellow drivers would allow entry. I notated how many drivers did not allow entry on each occasion. I documented all of the results ensuring that I notated if I was allowed access by a fellow driver at any point or if I was forced to wait...

...Chapter 1 The Problem and its Background Introduction Social networks are a popular trend today, especially among college students. This is where people can interact freely, sharing and discussing about their lives. Individuals and groups begin to engage in person-to-person conversation at these websites. They appear in many forms like blogs, microblogs, forums and many others. Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr are one of the many social networks that are well-known. The potential for computer networking to facilitate newly improved forms of computer-mediated social interaction was suggested early on. Efforts to support social networks via computer-mediated communication were made in many early online services, including Usenet, ARPANET, LISTSERV, and bulletin board services (BBS). Many prototypical features of social networking sites were also present in online services such as America Online, Prodigy, CompuServe, ChatNet, and The WELL. Early social networking on the World Wide Web began in the form of generalized online communities such as Theglobe.com (1995), Geocities (1994) and Tripod.com (1995). Many of these early communities focused on bringing people together to interact with each other through chat rooms, and encouraged users to share personal information and ideas via personal webpages by providing easy-to-use publishing tools and free or inexpensive webspace. Some communities - such as Classmates.com - took a different approach by simply having people link to each other...

...Adolescents’ Perspective on Bullying and How to Eradicate it: A Survey Bullying can happen anywhere. It may happen to children or adults in places such as: in the home, at public facilities, on the bus, in the parks, in the neighborhood or at school. Bullying has been a major social problem that is faced by the modern community, The classic definition of bullying by Olweus (1993) is defined as an aggressive, intentional act or behavior that is carried out by a group or individual repeatedly and over time against a victim who cannot easily defend him or herself (Smith, Mahdavi, & Tippett, 2008). McKenzie (2004) and Stover (2006) agreed that over the past decades, concerns to the prevalence of social problems experienced by children and youth has increased, such as bullying and depression, in addition Donbrowski and Gischlar (2006) stated that bullying robs children of dignity and could have adverse consequences for their social, emotional, behavioral and academic development (Lai, Ye, & Chang, 2008). According to www.bullyingstatistics.com teens or adolescents on 6th to 10th grade are the most likely to be involved in activities related to bullying on a regular basis either as a victim, bully or both. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Adolescents is defined as a young people between the age of 10 and 19 years – they are often thought as a healthy group.

...Case Study Paper by mvp007202 Psychology Student Liberty University Online for PSYC 255, Research Psychology Professor Jesse Winn April 21, 2014 Case Study Paper A case study provides valuable scientific information that enables researchers to further advance the world around us. There are various methods researchers use to perform case studies and each method serves its own purpose. There are advantages and disadvantages of conducting a case study, and various ways to collect the data needed. What is a Case Study A case study is an in-depth analysis of someone’s complete life history where the researcher seeks causes and patterns for behavior. Case studies can be both qualitative and quantitative, depending on the method used to gather information. A case study could also be done on a group, community, or an event. The goal of a case study is to find how one’s case can be a generalization for others, to find common ground per se, and to advance research previously conducted. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to generalize these subjective studies to a large population of people. (Case study as a research method, 1997) Case studies can be both qualitative and quantitative, depending on the method used to gather information. The most known case studies came from Sigmund Freud. He conducted detailed investigations into the lives of his patients, attempting to provide insight to their illnesses and help them overcome the challenges their illnesses brought....
