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. Refer to Research Study 3.4 above to answer the following question. If Dr. Kang decided against using random assignment, which of the following would be threatened? a. The covariance of the study b. The temporal precedence of the study c.

Answer: C

Explanation: The one that would be threatened by using a random assignment is the internal validity of the study.

Internal validity is defined as the grade in which a study can prove relations between the variables; by using a random assignment, there will be variables that weren't taking into consideration and for instance, the internal validity will be lowered.

Answer:

c. The internal validity of the study

Explanation:

The internal validity of a study is the term that refers to the ability of a study to show that it has a practical skill, through how well the results of that study have been established. in other words, this validity refers to a study that presents a good performance, because it was established with a correct design, well-developed variables, well-established results evaluation, among other factors, which show that the study was carried out correctly, so your results can be reliable.

If Dr. Kang decided not to use random assignment, the study's internal validity could be a threat to prove the truth, since we have little information on how the entire study was conducted.

Which character is willing to decieve his friends for his own ambition?
statuscvo [17]
The character whose willing to deceive his friends for his own ambition is none other than Cassius.

In William Shakespeare: Act 1 entitled the Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Gaius Cassius Longinus perceives the true motive of men and is also a great observer.

But because of Caesar's ability to gain power, Cassius turned his back against Caesar for he was jealous enough not to have power unlike Caesar. He was the one to lead Brutus to kill Caesar, but over a period of time, he allows Brutus to take over and lead the conspiracy.

What is the difference between public goods and private goods and why government action is necessary to ensure the provision of
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

In economics, a public good refers to a commodity or service that is made available to all members of a society.Public goods also refer to more basic goods, such as access to clean air and drinking water.

The opposite of a public good is a private good, which is both excludable and rivalrous.

Explanation:

These goods can only be used by one person at a time — for example, a wedding ring. In some cases, they may even be destroyed in the act of using them, such as when a slice of pizza is eaten. Private goods generally cost money, and this amount pays for its private use.
