The four research terms that are new to my understanding are response bias, descriptive analysis, quasi-experiment, and true experiment. • Response bias is the effect of nonresponse on a survey. How would results change if those who had not response would have responded. • Descriptive analysis is an analysis of all data for independent and dependent variables in the study. • Quasi-experiment has to do with participants.…

In The Disappearing Mestizo, the central question that Joanne Rappaport proposes is "when and how is someone a mestizo" (p, 4). In this analysis, I will explain about how she examines mestizaje as a negotiable category that is constructed based on the relations between class, social networking, and permeability of the gender. In terms of mestizaje, the concept makes reference to the racial mixture from a European and indigenous individuals. However, in her investigation Rappaport, alludes to a different definition of mestizaje, one that is not only genealogical.…

MR James’s “The Mezzotint” is set at an English university with its “homely and familiar” (2011, p. 24) libraries, museums and common rooms. This contrasts the stereotypical gothic settings which Dani Cavallaro presents: ruined castles and abbeys, murky crypts and fungoid dungeons, clammy cellars, dank passages and stairwells echoing with howls, groans and tapping fingers, dripping charnel houses and ivy-clad monasteries, secret cabinets, storms, bleak forests and treacherous marshes. (2011, p. 21) However, James claims that “the more ordinary and normal both setting and actors are, the more effective will be the entangling of them in a dreadful situation” (Moshenska, 2012, p.1195). According to Briggs, James also believed that a fairly familiar…

Before proceeding with any statistical procedures, I conducted a preliminary analysis using descriptive statistics and frequency analysis. Both were used to assess the characteristics of the data, check for violations of assumptions underlying the statistical techniques, as well as address research specific data requirements (Pallant, 2013). Using frequency analysis, I checked the minimum, maximum, and range of the categorical variables to identify errors and address the same. Additionally, I examined valid and missing values and investigated cases and variables displaying a large number of missing data. As shown in Table A4, the dataset consisted of 320 cases, of which 218 (68.1%) were associated with the 2004 GSS year and the remaining 102…
