Dr. Jeffries, a cognitive psychologist, conducts an experiment examining the effect of emotion on memory. She provides lists of

20 words to two groups of participants. The emotion group is given a list of words that are very emotional in content (e.g., passion, murder). The neutral group is given a list of words that are neutral in content (e.g., houseplant, desk). Each group studies the words for 3 minutes. Then, after a 5-min distractor task (watching a video about nature), Dr. Jeffries then measures how many words each group is able to remember.

Answer:

The emotional or neutral word list                                    

Explanation:

          In a psychological experiment, an independent variable is one which can be manipulated and can be controlled by the experimenter or the researcher. Whereas a dependent variable is that variable which can be measured by the researcher or the experimenter.

           In case of independent variable, the experimenter can change the variable and these variables have a direct effect on the dependent variable. While the dependent variable is assumed to be "dependent" on the independent variable.

           In the context, the list of emotional word or the neutral words are the independent variable as Dr. Jeffries can manipulate or the change the words that is given to the participants.

Addams is best known for her pioneering activism in the social settlement movement

<h3>What is social settlement movement?</h3>

The settlement movement was a reformist social movement in England and the United States that began in the 1880s and peaked around the 1920s. Its purpose was to bring together society's affluent and poor in both physical closeness and social connectivity.

Settlement homes were non-profit organizations that gave assistance to the urban poor and European immigrants, providing education, healthcare, childcare, and employment opportunities. Many of the settlement houses built during this time period are still in operation today.

Settlement house occupants frequently engaged as champions for immigrants and their neighborhoods, organizing English lessons and immigrant protective societies, establishing "penny banks," and sponsoring festivals and pageants to respect and preserve immigrants' heritage.

The answer is "<span>Doing “nothing” may be one of the most important creative things we can do."

Slacking off and putting aside standard times of 'doing nothing' might be the best thing we can do to prompt perspectives that sustain our creative energy and enhance our psychological health.Doing nothing or having nothing to do, are profitable open doors for empowering oblivious manners of thinking. Oblivious idea exceeds expectations at incorporating and partner data, by subliminally doing cooperative inquiries over our expansive database of learning. </span>

The correct answer is C. Overattribution

Explanation:

The term "over attribution" refers to a type of bias or error in which an individual believes one specific behavior or action is linked to the personality or internal characteristics of a person (disposition), without considering the role of external factors or the situation. This phenomenon occurs in the case presented because instead of thinking Ling behaves in this way because she is a student (situation), the behavior of Ling is attributed to her origin which is part of the disposition of Ling. This shows the person is not considering the situation but only internal characteristics that occur in over attribution.

Answer:

The parents are using punishment to suppress the screaming; their use of punishment is negatively reinforced by the cessation of screaming.

Explanation:

Punishment: In psychology, the term "punishment" is determined as one of the concepts of operant conditioning which was proposed by B. F. Skinner. Punishment referred to any specific changes in an organism's (human beings & animals) environmental surrounding that tends to occur only when a particular response or behavior is being provided and generally reduces the response or behavior to occur again in the future.

Punishment is of two types i.e, negative and positive punishment.

In the question above, the given statement represents the negative punishment (decreases an unwanted behavior by removing a desired thing).
