The tests used to gather this data was the chi-square fitness of good and Willcoxon. The results for each hypothesis rejected the null hypotheses. Introduction There has been a lot of evidence that many people believe that males and females who are thought of as being attractive are generally more sociable, balanced, and more successful. This belief has become known as the Halo effect; the inclination for one exceptional trait to unjustifiably influence an overall impression. This idea was first supported by Edward L. Thorndike in 1920 in a psychology study.
The authors suggest inputting hope and optimism during the school day during regular academics. Miller, Gilman, & Martens (2008) state, "For example, a longitudinal study found that optimism in early adulthood predicted health in later adulthood over periods of up to 35 years" (p. 6). Being optimistic and having hope sees children through graduation because they did not drop out (Miller, Gilman, & Martens, 2008). Being optimistic also decreases the likelihood of illness which also helps children to stay in school. Children who are optimistic have better grades and can focus more easily.
Running head: Optimism and Health Optimism and Health HUM/111 July 7, 2013 Molly McGuire Optimism and Health Optimism is very important to a person’s physical and psychological well-being.

Healthy People 2020 and Heart Disease and Stroke Janet Griffin-Vaughan Franklin Pierce University Every ten years since 1979, the federal government has released through its Healthy People program, goals and objectives aimed at getting Americans on the right track toward good health. Healthy People 2000, published in 1990, included the objective for reducing the number of coronary heart disease deaths. Healthy People 2020, launched in December of 2010, further defines this goal to “improve cardiovascular health and quality of life through prevention, detection, and treatment of risk factors for heart attack and stroke; early identification and treatment of heart attacks and strokes; and prevention of repeat cardiovascular events” (healthy people.gov). Improving cardiovascular health and prevention of strokes by providing patients with effective education is an important goal for me as I care for patients with cardiovascular disease and strokes on my telemetry/stroke unit, while also serving as a champion for stroke on my unit. The following four literature reviews I have chosen will support the importance of the original goal set by Healthy People 2000.
Others examples from the study social readjustment rating scale (SRRS), divorce 73, redundancy 47, beginning school and a holiday being 13. However the positives of this study is that people could learn beforehand how stressful an event will be before doing it. Another positive is that over 300 people did the study, which increases the study reliability. On the other hand there is criticism to the SRRS. One of them being that there is no allowance for individual differences, in divorce, one partner is usually happier about it than the other, although both would be given the same score on the scale.

This was compiled with findings from analyzing the eyes of patients before and after surgery (Health Dimensions 2004). How have the therapies changed over time? Through advancements in technology, the reliability and validity of naturopathic practice has improved.
