Asch's experiment also had a control condition where there were no confederates, only a "real participant". Findings: Asch measured the number of times each participant conformed to the majority view. On average, about one third (32%) of the participants who were placed in this situation went along and conformed with the incorrect majority on the critical trials. Over the 12 critical trials about 75% of participants conformed at least once and 25% of participant never conformed. In the control group, with no pressure to conform to confederates, less
Then scientist Paul Lauterbur developed a way to make MR images in two dimensional and three dimensional using gradients. Scientist Peter Mansfield researched a way so that the scans would take seconds rather than hours. This produced clearer images. Lauterbur and Mansfield used animals and human limbs, whereas Damadian built the first full body MRI machine in 1977, this prototype was called “Indomitable.” This name was symbolic to Damadian’s struggle to do what many said could not be done. “Indomitable” is now displayed in the Smithsonian Institution.
Participants were then given 50 photos and asked to identify the person. The findings were that witnessed who had seen the man holding the knife emerge accurately identified him, 44% of the time, whereas the participants who saw the man carrying the bloodstained knife only identified him 33%. However, this study can be criticized. This is because the study was a lab experiment and was done in a lab. The variables can be manipulated so it could therefore be bias.
The results from question number 5 conclude that 29 people know a female and 14 people know a male who is diagnosed with bipolar disorder. The remainder 17 people didn’t know or answered no they do not know someone with bipolar disorder. For question number six I immediately asked if the participants thought that more males or females were diagnosed. I wasn’t surprised to find that most of the participants chose both. 46.67% of the people who answered my survey chose both had the same chance which is true.
The males were divided into three groups; those who were alone, those who were placed with two people that did not react and were a part of the experiment, and then three males who were all students and were not aware of the situation. Of those participants who were alone 75% reported the emergency before the experiment was terminated. Of those who were placed with two non-reacting others, only 10% reported the emergency before the experiment was terminated Of the group of three students only in about 38% of the eight groups did even one person respond before the experiment was over. From this experiment, one can conclude that the social environment really does affect a person’s response. If a person is within a group that does not react the individual may feel as though the situation is not an emergency
If s>g and if no student works in more than one group, which of the following calculations will determine approximately how many students should be in each lab group? A) gs B) s-g C) g-s D) s/g 11) Tickets for a play cost $6 each for adults and $3 each for children. If 160 of these tickets were bought for a total of $816 how many adult’s tickets were bought? A) 110 B) 111 C) 112 D) 115 12) Let r◊s=rs+s for all integers r and s If r◊s =0 and s does not equal 0 , what must r equal? A) -2 B) -1 C) 1 D) 2 13) The cells of a certain type of bacteria increase in number by each splitting into two cells every 30 minutes.
The samples were stratified and represented subgroups by gender, age, ethnicity, religious preferences, and educational level (Lin et al., 2004). The participants were randomly assigned either to FT or ADC therapies (Lin et al., 2004). The study initially started with 40 participants and 3 were eliminated due to their pretest scores (Lin et al., 2004). The final sample of the study was small with a completion rate of 35%, which was represented by 7 women and 7 men (Lin et al., 2004). According to Pyrczak (2013), a response rate of less than 50% would make generalizing the results difficult.
Part 1 The table shows data from an experiment by social psychologist Stanley Milgram into levels of obedience to authority amongst 'ordinary' people. How would they behave in a moral dilemma between authority and wickedness? The headline row labels the 2 numerical columns directly below, which show the average level of shock administered and the proportion of participants who obeyed until the maximum voltage. The extreme left column labels pre-trial predictions, the original study and 2 variations. Row 1 shows that before the experiment students predicted a relatively low, (140v), level of shock would be administered and that none, (0%), would comply to the end.
This experiment took 22 orphaned children some with stutter problems and some without. This study was made with a thesis that states “If stuttering is learned behavior, it can be unlearned.” (Gretchen Reynolds, 2003, mytimes.com). By using this thesis to build an experiment, the children were broken into groups and some were told that there stutter was not as bad as they thought while the remaining children were told that their stutter (which was not existent) was a lot worse than the scientists had expected. Within a months’ time. the children who were told that their stutter was worse became inconsistent with their speech.
A larger sample size of diverse age, gender and demographic would be required to allow the results to be generalised to a wider population. Targeted Audience: The target group tested contained 102 volunteers at the beginning of the experiment. There were 20 males and 82 females aged between 21 and 26, all psychology students at University of the Basque Country with no prior experience in this particular experiment. They were divided into two groups of 51 people, the first being the incidental group and the second being the intentional group. Eight subjects were eliminated from the experiment due to improperly following instructions.
