A research team is interested in studying the effects of television exposure on the development of social skills. What research method and design would you use for this study, and why? What are the ethical considerations for this type of research?
Homework Answers
I would use an experimental study.
An experiment is one where the researcher manipulates a specific variable to find it's effect on another variable.
Experimental studies can provide the strongest evidence about the existence of a cause-effect relationship.
The ethical consideration in experimental studies involve participant agreement to research studies, the relationship between the participant and the observer.
Please give me a thumbs-up if this helps you out. Thank you!

Suppose your research team found a brand new gene that may be involved in the early stages of embryonic development. In studying this gene, your team manages to identify the promoter region and one enhancer region that is 1,000 kilobases upstream of the promoter region. To study this gene’s expression during embryonic development, would you choose to fuse a reporter gene, like GFP, with the promoter region or the enhancer of your gene of interest? Why would you choose that...

Scenario 2: Effects of Tea A group of researchers are interested in the potential anti-carcinogenic effects of tea. Given new reports of increased incidence of breast cancer in their town, they wanted to determine if there was any association between breast cancer and tea consumption as the exposure. They enrolled 25 women with breast cancer, and 50 women without breast cancer for their study. What type of study design was used? Place letter answer here: Ecologic study Cross-sectional study Case-control...

A research team explored whether a home visiting program implemented from 2012 – 2014 increased childhood immunizations in a large urban community. Program children were more likely to complete recommended immunizations at age 1 compared to the general population. Given the information provided, answer the following: What is the exposure and what is the outcome? What is the study design? Which study design would you use if you were conducting this study?

Question 17 5 pts Does sexsell? A marketing company, Spitzer Enterprises, is interested in determinirhether exposure to provocative images will cause people to spend more on clothing. To examine this hypothesis, researchers for Spitzer Enterprises conducted a study at a local university. After volunteering to participate in the study, participants were told to arrive at a campus laboratory at a given time. Upon arrival the researchers flipped a coin to determine whether participants would be exposed to provocat.ve or neutral...

II. Use the information provided below to answer the following questions: 1)You are interested in studying the relationship between exposure to methylmercury (MeHg) (which occurs mostly from consumption of contaminated seafood) and coronary heart disease (CHD) in the general population. You conduct a study where you recruit 30,000 population-based (i.e. not incarcerated or residing in an assisted living facility) older adults (age 65+ years) free of CHD, measure MeHg in their blood and follow them up for 10 years. Your...

(Imagine that your Learning Team has received funding to study changes in sexual attitudes over time. Your task is to design a developmental research study to investigate this issue. Your team will outline one of the following: a cross-sectional study, longitudinal study or sequential study. Identify which type of design your team decided to use and explain why you decided on this method. I believe they decided that Longitudinal would be the simplest.) Now what I need the answer to...

A research team interested in the proportion of patients at a local hospital that are admitted to the emergency room without any form of healthcare insurance. Suppose the team hypothesizes that the proportion of these patients was 19%, and conducted a sample of 298 participants to find that 109 were without any insurance at 95% confidence. A) What was the power of the test conducted? B) Suppose the research team were to have sampled 658 participants and found the same...
