For their 1992 study “The Effect of Country Music on Suicide” (published in Social Forces, vol. 71, p. 211), researchers Stack a

nd Gundlach investigated various American communities, recording the number of minutes of daily radio airtime devoted to country songs and the suicide rate. They found a moderately strong positive correlation. In their paper, the researchers explain the results by saying that “…the themes found in country music foster a suicidal mood ...” (emphasis added). A news headline (The Independent [London], October 1, 2004, p. 15) about the research echoed these sentiments when it said, “Strange But True: Country Music Saps Will to Live.” The research is even cited on various suicide-prevention websites, some with headings such as “Country Music Increases Suicide Risk.” Based on this study, can we have confidence in causality between country music and suicide?

The correct answer is: No, because the lack of assignment of communities to different levels of country music listening means there is a possibility of lurking variables.

Causation can only be determined in this case if the researchers randomly assigned different amounts of country music to different communities. They did not do this, so the study design doesn’t rule out lurking variables.

If you want to access certain government records, which three institutions should you visit?
Anika [276]
There are many varieties of archives, and the types of materials they collect differ as well. Defining your research topic and knowing what sorts of materials you are looking for will help you determine the appropriate institutions to contact. Here is a brief overview of repository types: 1)College and university archives are archives that preserve materials relating to a specific academic institution. Such archives may also contain a "special collections" division. College and university archives exist first to serve their parent institutions and alumni, and then to serve the public. 2)Corporate archives are archival departments within a company or corporation that manage and preserve the records of that business. These repositories exist to serve the needs of company staff members and to advance business goals. Corporate archives allow varying degrees of public access to their materials depending on the company's policies and archival staff availability. 3)Museums and archives share the goal of preserving items of historical significance, but museums tend to have a greater emphasis on exhibiting those items, and maintaining diverse collections of artifacts or artwork rather than books and papers. Any of the types of repositories mentioned in this list may incorporate a museum, or museums may be stand-alone institutions. Likewise, stand-alone museums may contain libraries and/or archives.

Getting information from a number of different sources is a good way to avoid bad propaganda. TRUE FALSE
FrozenT [24]
Yes, this is true!!!

Let's take an extreme kind of propaganda: the Nazi propaganda during WW2.

If you only listened to their information, you would receive a biased impression about the war, but if you also listened to the people of other countries, you would receive a more balanced impression.
