She did this with 651 participants of varying age. Two minutes later the participants were stopped again and asked to recall the physical characteristics of the woman. All age groups performed similarly but younger age groups were significantly more confident in their recall, suggesting that perhaps it is older participants lack of confidence in recall which perhaps leads them to be easily influences by misleading information. However, it is not just the elderly who can be misled by inaccurate information therefore affecting the reality of the EWT, Robert and Lamb investigated interviews of 161 children who had filed in allegations of abuse. In 68 interviews, the researcher had distorted the child’s report or had added in misleading information.
The communicator needs to know how familiar the audience is with the topic. When communicating they may need to define words and terms or explain the concepts if the audience is not familiar with the topic. The communicator may also look at educational background, age, and culture. It is important that the communicator understands their audience in the background of their audience. A good example would include talking to salary employees versus wage employees.
Several studies were conducted by Linda Babcock to prove that the thesis she included was correct. “To explore this question, Linda conducted a study that looked at the starting salaries...looked exclusively at gender, the difference was fairly large.” (Linda Babcock, Sara Laschever, Women Don’t Ask). Linda’s studies proved that when comparing male and female salaries, the difference was significant, specifically, male salaries were
Jesse Thomas speaks about the things he has to experience in his mainstream classes and in his everyday life.

Having Fun With Operational Definitions Adapted from teachpsychscience.org Directions: Identify and operationally define the independent and dependent variables in each of the following research ideas. Research Idea #1: A social psychologist was interested in whether people are more likely to exhibit conformity when they are in situations that make them feel nervous and unsure of themselves. What is the independent variable? How would you define it operationally? What is the dependent variable?
Before the war, women were treated equally in the workforce; they were paid equally and had equal job opportunities. Laura Bush made it seem like women were being oppressed saying, “Women cannot work outside the home…” and by grouping situations of the Middle East together false accusations were made. Riverbend blogs saying, “What I’m trying to say is that no matter *what* anyone heard, females in Iraq were a lot better off than females in other parts of the Arab world (and some parts of the western world-we had equal salaries!) We made up over 50% of the working force. We were doctors, lawyers, nurses, teachers, professors, deans, architects, programmers, and more” (August 2003, Riverbend, p.22).
The Depression hit women, like other minority groups in American society, similarly harsh because of that payrolls of many communities and private companies were open only to males. The main role of women during the Great Depression was that of the homemaker. Some women had gone through college level education and, like their male counterparts, were having a difficult time of finding employment. Those with families had the task of keeping their family together, as the traditional view of motherhood role, when the principle moneymaker of the family was out of work. However, some women joined the work force and would do jobs that men previously had held.
Ageism Age 1 Term Final Ageism: Detrimental to Older Adults As society has aged and experienced life from evolution to war and technology, young minds have not significantly changed their perceptions of the older adult. We have formed stereotypes that have become the bedrock for the way we think in regards to aging. Older adults have been taken for granted and discriminatory practices against these adults have been made evident with older men and women in the professional and public segment of life. However, some older adults immigrate to this country and live off of the taxpayer’s money: shouldn’t these older adults have to take mandatory education? This paper will explore why is it is so hard to overcome ageism and why it is so important for older adults to keep education as an ongoing tool to defeat discrimination.
My first thought was that these two women must be attending their first meetings. I later learned that my suspicions were correct. Neither of the women stood alone very long as other members, who I could only assumes were veterans to these meetings, promptly introduced themselves with big smiles and comforting remarks. As the mingling whined down, one of the employees (whom I could only distinguish because he was the gentleman I first contacted about the group) stood at the front of the class and spoke for about 10 minutes. He spoke of his tribulations to get to the point in his life where he is now comfortable with himself.
