As part of a psychology experiment, Ed and Todd write essays saying that seat belts are unnecessary and that laws requiring them

should be abolished. From a questionnaire given several weeks before, it is known that both Ed and Todd are actually in favor of laws requiring seat belts. In the experiment, Ed is given a very small reward for writing an essay, while Todd is given a large reward for writing the essay. If their attitudes are subsequently measured, what is the most likely result

Answer:

A). Todd's attitude about seat belts will not change; Ed's will become stronger that seat belts are unnecessary.

Explanation:

In the situation provided, the most likely outcome of giving a huge reward to Todd and small to Ed would be that the former's viewpoint regarding seatbelts would not change while Ed's opinion would turn stronger that there is no requirement of laws for requiring the seatbelts.

<u>The change in Ed's perspective is because of the smaller reward he's received</u>. Behavioral psychologists have proved that rewards act as motivators to stimulate/encourage the recurrence of a specific positive behavior. While the negative behavior is reinforced if a behavior is not rewarded aptly. Similarly, it happens with Ed's changed attitude.

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

a heuristic

Explanation:

Heuristics are mental shortcuts used by people when finding solutions to problems and when making efficient and hasty decisions and judgments. They shorten the time used in making decision and allows people to make judgments without thinking of their next line of action. Mr. Lee is therefore using heuristics by teaching the students how to use shortcuts (dissecting similar research papers) to achieve writing their own research paper.

Reflection of erosion​
Dafna11 [192]

not sure if this helps but I hope it does

sorry its so long

To date erosion scientists have failed to address — or have addressed inadequately — some of the ‘big questions’ of our discipline. For example, where is erosion occurring? Why is it happening, and who is to blame? How serious is it? Who does it affect? What should be the response? Can we prevent it? What are the costs of erosion? Our inability or reluctance to answer such questions damages our credibility and is based on weaknesses in commonly-used approaches and the spatial and temporal scales at which much research is carried out. We have difficulty in the recognition, description and quantification of erosion, and limited information on the magnitude and frequency of events that cause erosion. In particular there has been a neglect of extreme events which are known to contribute substantially to total erosion. The inadequacy and frequent misuse of existing data leaves us open to the charge of exaggeration of the erosion problem (a la Lomborg).

Models need to be developed for many purposes and at many scales. Existing models have proved to be of limited value, in the real as opposed to the academic world, both because of problems with the reliability of their results, and difficulties (with associated costs) of acquiring suitable data. However, there are some positive signs: models are now being developed for purposes including addressing questions of off-site impacts and land-use policy. Cheap, reliable and technically simple methods of erosion assessment at the field scale are needed. At the global scale, an up-date of GLASOD based on a scientific approach is urgent so that we are at least able to identify erosion ‘hotspots’.

In terms of explanation of erosion, the greatest need is for a full recognition of the importance of socio-economic drivers. The accession of new countries to the EU with different economic and land-use histories emphasises this need. Too often we have left people, especially the farmers, out of the picture. Our approach could be characterised as ‘data-rich and people-poor’.
