1. This is cross-sectional design which allows us to study a characteristic ( emotional intelligence) at the single of time in various age groups ( 3, 4, 5 and 6 age children).
2. The advantages of this design are-
The design allows a researcher to study differences in variables ( age) in this study at the single point of time which makes it a time saving design compared to longitudinal design.
3. The problem concerned with this design it does not establish a link between cause and effect. This means the researcher fails to take in account the other variables that may be affecting the outcomes.
Moreover, the design can be affected by the cohort effects which may be due to different experiences of people.
4. Emotional intelligence is the dependent variable as it may be influenced by different groups and other environmental factors. The emotional intelligence of children may differ with age.
5. Age is a subject variable as it cannot be manipulated by the researcher to study the effects. Age is a variable that is the part of the research but is not manipulated in any way.

A developmental psychologist believes that children raised in bilingual families will have higher verbal fluency at age 3 than children raised in families where only one language is spoken. She recruits 25 bilingual and 25 monolingual families with 3-year olds from her local newspaper and administers the Childhood Test of Verbal Fluency (CTVF) to each child. She finds that mean CTVF test score for bilingual children is 5 points higher than the mean CTVG score for monolingual children. She then...
2. A groups of developmental psychologists wanted to examine under what conditions children of 24 month of age can generate the most number of words. They randomly selected 45 children and randomly assigned them to three different conditions. Then they measured the number of words the children uttered in the three conditions. Specify the null hypothesis and test it at the significance level of .05. What is your conclusion? Make sure to provide the summary table from SPSS. Child playing...
QUESTION 1 A developmental psychologist is interested in how one's Attention System changes during adolescence. Specifically, the psychologist is interested in the ability of adolescent's to divide their attention among two or more tasks (e.g. to multi-task). To assess the changes in attention during adolescence, the researcher randomly selects a cohort of (n = 11) individuals at the onset of puberty (e.g. 0 years since puberty).

Then one group was told a negative story (in which the quoll is described as a vicious, disease-ridden bundle of nastiness that eats children’s brains), one group a positive story (in which the quoll is described as a harmless, docile creature who likes nothing...
Now that you have read and reviewed the introduction to development, take your learning a step further by testing your critical thinking skills on this scientific reasoning exercise. Several studies suggest that breast-fed babies become more intelligent children than formula-fed babies. One such study (Mortensen, Michaelsen, Sanders, & Reinisch, 2002*) involved a sample of over 3,000 women and men born in Copenhagen, Denmark, between October 1959 and December 1961. The samples were divided into five categories based on duration of...
