...PART I. Validity and Reliability Max score part I: 2 pts A lecturer has designed an exam about research methodology to measure and test the knowledge of third-years students about the design and quality of research. What is the problem with the following situations. Discuss for the following questions whether this is a reliability problem and/or a validity problem. In the case of the latter give the type of validity problem and EXPLAIN BRIEFLY. 1. Some students had too little time to do their exam and answered their questions too superficially. (1/2 pt) 2. One of the questions was ambiguous. It could be referring to the contents of the subject, but also to the contents of another subject. (1/2 pt) 3. Only a small portion of the content was checked in the exam. (1/2 pt) 4. The exam takes place within two hours. The design of a research usually takes weeks. The exam can therefore not really test the knowledge of research design as the two contexts fundamentally do not match PART II: Milgram’s study: 8 pts During the lectures we have looked at Milgram’s famous study. What we have seen there was a later version from the original. In the original version the subject could not hear the “learner”, just the pounding on the wall. Included you will find the larger part of the paper describing the original experiment1. The paper is mostly a concise description of the research setting. Obviously, it should help that you have watched the video, since it will allow you to understand the...

... I think Jesus calls us the salt of the Earth because we give season to Earth. Jesus call us the salt of the Earth because we all are the same, his disciples and very parts of him, we are the imitations of Christ living in the land, we have his characteristics but we will be the one who will decide of who and how we will be a salt to Earth. We can be a good salt or a bad salt to the Earth. Salt is defined as preservatives, seasoning and can kill bacteria, just like humans, we can be compared to a salt because we can preserve, purify and flavor Earth according to what we wanted. We are called salt because he wants us to permeate and penetrate every level of society and to season this world for him. God is a shaker, we are the one being shake by him as a salt, are you the one sitting or being shaked? Being shaken by God is the salt who are cooperating, purifying and seasoning the Earth to add important flavor to be better and get better, and to preserve Earth. While the ones who is sitting are the ones who have not he interest on cooperating in shaking of salt for the better. Have you lost your saltiness or are you living as the salt of the Earth? I’m living as the salt of the Earth, how about you? 2. How can you serve as 'salt'? A. In School : I can serve as a salt, as being a good student and do good deeds for my school.

...to recognize slight irony. On those lines when Frost said that the crow “Shook down on me/ The dust of snow” it was as if the crow was doing him a favor. This is the ironic part because as I mentioned earlier, crows are normally used as symbols for both death and fear but in this instance the crow did a good deed by shaking off the snow. It is also ironic the type of tree that Frost has the crow standing upon. Frost didn’t choose any ordinary random tree. He purposely chose to use a hemlock tree. Many may not realize they ironic image that Frost is displaying because a hemlock tree is usually associated with poison and toxicity. This image is ironic because he has a crow (a symbol of death) sitting upon a toxic hemlock tree as it gently shakes off the white beautiful snow off of the hemlock’s branches. This unique usage of irony just goes to further show that there is always a positive in every negative situation. And even though you may not realize the positive that exists, you must keep your head up and fight through the negativity. And to me this was the true...

...How and why Milgram’s research on obedience is relevant to our understanding of the conduct of soldiers in times of war. The report aims to: • Summarise the main points of Milgram’s experiment. • Summarise the results and what they mean. • Highlight why Milgram’s research is relevant to our understanding of the conduct of soldiers in times of war. Background: The aim of Milgram’s (1963) study was to investigate what levels of obedience would be shown when participants were told by a figure of authority to deliver electric shocks to another person. Milgram was interested in how easily ordinary people could be influenced into committing atrocities such as some of the acts carried out by Germans in WWII. The participant took the role of ‘teacher’, also present was the ‘learner’ who was in on the deception and knew that they would not receive any real shocks and the experimenter. The ‘teacher’ was told that the ‘learner’, who was in another room, would have words to memorise and if they got the words wrong they would receive an electric shock that was administered by the ‘teacher’. The shock generator in front of the ‘teacher’ ran from 15 volts to 450 volts with descriptive words such as ‘slight shock’ for 15 volts, ‘intense shock’ for 225 volts and ‘XXX’ for 435 volts (Banyard, 2010, p. 69). As the ‘learner’ began to get words wrong the ‘teacher’ began to shock, as the shocks increased the ‘learner’ began to shout out in pain. At these points when...

...Burn My dad was set on fire when the car backfired. He was in the process of getting his Jeep fixed. On this particular day, the project of choice was working on the carburetor. The process was simple, he would pour gas into the carb well my boyfriend Mat would turn the key over. They must have done this at least a dozen times. The last time it all went wrong. My dad poured the gas and Mat turned the key. A loud bang like a gun shoot startled me, but I did not expect to turn my head to see the most devastating thing. I looked over to where the bang was there were flames coming from under the hood. The bottle of gas my dad was holding was on fire. He was unsure where my son was so he didn’t want to throw the bottle. Instead he tried to shake the bottle that’s when it all went wrong. The gas splashed his face then the flames; he hit the floor stop, drop and roll. It didn’t work as he hit the floor the bottle of gas fell and he rolled right into it. Now his chest is on fire, he realized it’s not working he stands up and rips his shirt off and starts hitting his head to put the flames out. The smell of burning flesh and hair was all we could smell. The sight was heart breaking when he turned around; the skin that was left on his face was hanging. From the time the fire started to when he looked me in the eyes and asked how he looked had only been about a minute and a half. That fast I had to look my dad in his eyes and tell him that I loved him and we were going to get him help...

...Oksana Stefankiv English 098-099 September 12, 2012 Paragraph 1 The way people greet each other when they meet for the first time varies from culture to culture. In some cultures, people bow, and in others, they shake hands. In English-speaking countries, shaking hands is the custom. A proper handshake has four ingredients: pressure, pumps, eye contact, and verbal message. If done properly, a handshake gives the impression of strength and honesty, and if done improperly, it conveys weakness and dishonesty. How one shakes hands sends an important message about one’s character. Tape of introduction: surprising statistics. Paragraph 2 Mr. X went to Mexico from England to manage a milk pasteurization plant. For eight months, he tried every way possible to convince his workers of the importance of punctuality and of checking every detail of their work. The response was always, “Yes, yes, we will do our best,” but nothing ever changed. The employees did most of the planning and draped the new unit with garlands. Then one day an impressive new pasteurization unit arrived and was installed. And so it was-neither punctuality nor quality checks were any longer needed. To celebrate the occasion, Mr. X decided to throw a big party at the plant. During the party one of Mr. X’s supervisors took him aside and said, “Now we see that you are buena gente; from now on I am sure everyone will really try to do their best for you.” The party was a great success, and everybody had a good time...

...a nice calm day. My mom and I were reading a book and then all of a sudden I could hear this rumbling sound that seemed to come from inside earth. It started off as a gentle vibration then after a few minutes the noise and the vibrations became more violent. It was as if the earth had a terrible stomach ache. The shake got more violent after a few minutes pictures were thrown of the wall books flew of the shelves. People were screaming and the air smelt and tasted like dust. We hid under a chair but I forgot to blow out a candle I lit and it fell to the floor and the house caught on fire. Once we smelled the fire we went for the door but as soon as we were close to the door the fire spread right into our walkway. We were trapped with no were to go so we rushed back to our hiding place but before i could make it a hot metal pipe landed on my legs I was stuck the pipe broke my legs. The fire had subsided so we made out the house. My mom carried me to the hospital which luckily was still standing. By the time we got there the tremors had stopped. A few weeks later I lie awake in my hospital bed reading a newspaper the headlines stated, "Massive earthquake shakes Charleston- 96 people die and many more injured ". In two weeks I will be released from the hospital in a wheel chair but every night I will pray that we never have a earthquake again. I mourn with the families that lost their loved ones and I pray the people who lay hospital beds beside me will make a quick recovery...

...Failure to Escape Traumatic Shock by Seligman and Maier The purpose of this study was to determine the type of learning acquisition in dogs that were subjected to three different styles of electric shock. They wanted to determine what method of learning worked the best to avoid a shock for an extended period of time. Each of the three groups of dogs learned escape/avoidance training, however the "escape" group and the "yoked" group gained more training than the normal control group. The "escape" group was taught during their training that touching the side panels during the shock would terminate it. This was repeated 64 times in the harness and the same training was done 10 more times in the shuttle box, 24 hours later. The "yoked" group received the same training as the "escape" group, however the "escape" group could touch the side panels to end the shock while the "yoked" group was taught the same thing, but touching the panels did not end the shock. In Experiment 1 the "yoked" group might have experienced a concept called learned helplessness. The researchers in this version of the experiment proceed to think that because the "yoked" group couldn't get out of the shocks by touching the side panels, that the group just accepted the fact that the shocks will take place and that they can't do anything about it. In Experiment 2, the experiment was designed to see if the dogs from experiment 1 would react the same to an inescapable shock as they did in experiment...

...in Food Portion Patterns and Trends among U.S. Children and the Relationship to Total Eating Occasion Size, In the context of the growing obesity rate in the United States, larger portion sizes of selected energy-dense, nutrient-poor foods have increased in parallel with energy intakes at meals, especially in adolescents and middle-aged children. To our knowledge, our study provided new insights about the behavioral and nutritional changes that have occurred over the past three decades in the United States, which may have contributed to increased daily energy intakes during a period of reduced activity and increased risk of childhood obesity. I have found that I am always hungry. At first I thought it was just hormones or my metabolism. I have discovered that it is actually the food I am eating that makes me stay hungry. This is very bad because I have been living off of fast food. Restaurants like McDonald’s or Wendy’s are known for serving food that is generally high in fat and calories, and the portions tend to be large (Goldstein 37). At Steak n’ Shake, which is where I currently work, I usually have the Western BBQ and Bacon Double Steakburger, a small order of parmesan cheese and herb fries, with a birthday...
