Dr. Kang, a cognitive psychologist, conducts an experiment examining the effect of emotion on memory. He provides lists of 15 wo

rds to two groups of participants at his university. He puts the names of all the participants in a hat. The first 20 names he assigns to Group A and the last 20 he assigns to Group B. Group A is given a list of words that are very emotional in content (e.g., passion, murder). Group B is given a list of words that are neutral in content (e.g., houseplant, desk). He then measures how many words each group is able to remember after being distracted for 5 minutes by watching a video about the history of the university. He finds that Group A remembers 15% more words than Group B.
Dr. Kang sends his study to a journal to be published. One of the peer reviewers questions the way Dr. Kang manipulated emotion, arguing that being exposed to emotional words does not make one emotional. The reviewer is questioning which of the following?

a) the statistical validity of the study
b) the internal validity of the study
c) the external validity of the study
d) the construct validity of the study

Answer:

<em>d) the construct validity of the study</em>

Explanation:

Construct validity relates to the extent in which assumptions from the operationalizations in your analysis to the conceptual frameworks on which those operationalizations were centered may genuinely be produced.

Construct validity is related to generalization, as is external validity.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Title:

The Purpose of Government: to Serve the People.

United States President Abraham Lincoln said it two hundred years ago, and I agree with him.

The purpose of government is to serve the people and create the kinds of laws and legislation that establish internal peace, protect the citizens, and create the economic and political conditions for the people to prosper.

The presidency of Lincoln had its challenges during a tumultuous time where the country was divided through the issue of slavery and faced a civil war.  Despite the difficult conditions, Lincoln always had in mind the need for community and to integrate the Confederate states back into the Union. He thought that the rights of individuals were very important and that is why after the Civil War, he ordered a period of Reconstruction in the South that respected the rights of the African Americans.
