Focusing on US exports they find that political influence from CIA interventions were used to increase demand for US products in areas where there was a comparative disadvantage. In their study the independent variable is the level US government influence on other states and the dependent variable is the annual bilateral trade level between the US and said state. They measure international trade (using the gravity model) between the US and states in which the CIA has either installed a new…
Other variables include, the age of the child, the parent’s ability to control their aggression, as well as the direct connection between the child and their parents (relationship is a good or a bad one). (Oas, 2010) These particular variables are extremely important in understanding corporal punishment because when discussing proper ways to discipline a child, scholars have…
subjects sample. All protein measurements for the samples were normalized with Beta-Actin. Chi-squares were performed on categorical variables and ANOVAs were performed on continuous variables to test for differences across groups. Pearson Product-Moment correlations were used to examine preliminary relationships between protein levels and demographic and brain variables. Differences between groups were examined with repeated-measure ANCOVA with potential confounds being identified as; age, age…
Independent T-test will be used to compare baseline continuous variables such as cortical thickness and gray and white matter volume. Paired T-test will be used to compare changes in continuous variables from baseline to each one of the other assessments. General linear model repeated measure will be used to evaluate changes in continuous variable (e.g. cortical thickness and gray and white matter volume, TMT scores, ROCF scores, etc) between the two sport…
expected to be associated with past-year mental health problems above what was predicted by lifetime history of violence. (Hedtke et al., 2008, p. 235). The independent variables in this study are the type of violence history. There are three variables; sexual assault, physical assault, and witnessed violence. The dependent variables are the mental health outcomes; Post Traumatic Stress disorder (PTSD), Major Depression Episode (MDE), and substance abuse problems. The authors provided a…
Textbook p.168 When JW came into the workplace to learn about his new job, he was excited about the new educational learning that he would be receiving about the modernized electrical control systems in the factory. As JW started learning about controlling Ethernet drives and input / output control systems, he started struggling with the concept of the many different things that were going on inside one communications cable. His classic conditioning of the old electrical control wiring was not…
adolescence (19-20 years old) would predict greater emotional competence in young adulthood (23-24 years old); and 2) that emotional competence in young adulthood (23-24 years old) would reduce risk for anxious-depressive symptoms at the same age after controlling for prior emotional distress in adolescence” (Hallam et al, 2013, para. 1). This study involves the premise that the good life…
Additionally, due to huge loss of cases from including certain variables, I have had to make the difficult decision of excluding many variables and only include spending on crime, spending on race, death penalty for murder, gun permit laws, allowing racists, communists, homosexuals, militarists, and/or atheists to speak. The only independent variable is race, which has been recoded (White=1, Black=0) to exclude other races and just concentrate on Blacks and…
Last, a group of scholars focus on the relationship of partisan polarization and political participation, in particular voter turnout. Unfortunately, only a few studies empirically and rigorously test the polarization’s effect on voter turnout as well as the mass political behavior as a whole. Some articles deal with the topic and present results of analysis, but most of them rely solely on descriptive statistics. Abramowitz and Saunders (2008) conclude that ideological polarization in the…
that birth order played a large role in the development of our personalities. After my research I am now more skeptical of the issue, there was findings for both sides of the argument very much similar to nature versus nurture. There were too may variables in…
