This study examined the effects of personalities and social behaviors on organic chemistry performance. The researchers surveyed 48 students about their personalities, social preferences, and learning styles. Results showed that students with more extroverted personalities tended to score higher on tests. Additionally, students who scored highest and lowest reported less preference for social learning. Lower scoring students also reported feeling shyer about speaking up in workshops. The study suggests extroversion and social participation may correlate with better performance in organic chemistry.

Methodology Assignment
Participant/Procedures
The intended participants will include both parents and students. The parents of undergraduate students from a mid-sized university will be included in the study. The parents will consist of both fathers and mothers of students. Parents with students in elementary, junior, and high school levels will be excluded from the study. Undergraduate students who are enrolled in communication studies from a mid-sized university will also be considered as participants for the study. The students will consist of freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors.
The personal demographic questions that the survey will ask the parents include education status, ethnicity, and the level of study of their children as well as their performance record in school. These questions matter because they will enable the research to deduce useful information about the individual parents and their involvement in the education of their children. For instance, the question on their level of education will assess their understanding of the purpose of the study as well as the role of parents in supporting the education initiatives of students. The question on ethnicity will enable the research to determine whether parental involvement or support to children depends on ethnicity. The students will be asked demographic questions such as their age, gender, and level of study. The specific demographic questions for the students will assist in validating the measurement scale. For instance, the level of study will determine the extent of parental support that is needed further validating the measurement scales. The question on gender will expose the difference in perception among male and female students regarding parental support and student satisfaction.
Random sampling will be utilized to collect data. It involves sampling where every object has an equal chance of appearing in the study. This method will be utilized because it produces an unbiased representation of the population which will help in drawing useful conclusions about the study. It will also be utilized due to its simplicity as compared to other sampling techniques. This sampling method will significantly influence the outcomes of the results since it will ensure a higher degree of accuracy and validity.The study will adopt a cross-sectional survey design which will ensure that the researcher examines different samples of a population at a given point in time. It will allow the comparison of results/answers from different samples at one point in time. I will also utilize this survey design because it is generally short and inexpensive. They will also enable me to discover new correlations for the study that can be studied later.
I intend to send the surveys to 300 parents and undergraduate students from a mid-sized university. To increase their response rates, I will provide incentives and I will also keep the survey relevant. Studies show that sometimes when co ...

The purpose of this presentation is to compare two research studies.
The topic of the comparison is the effect of parental conflict on adolescent adjustment.
Research includes four studies of which two will be compared.
Study A – Forehand, McCombs, Long, Brody, and Fauber
Conducted by: Rex Forehand, Amanda McCombs, Nicholas Long, Gene Brody, and Robert Fauber
Title: Early adolescent adjustment to recent parental divorce: The role of interparental conflict and adolescent sex as mediating variables
Date of study: December 30, 1987
Purpose of the study
To determine if a relationship exists between parental conflict after divorce and adolescent adjustment and whether gender of the child influences the outcome.
Study Summary
Studied 96 adolescents aged 11 – 15 years old.
Participants were equally divided between gender.
Used teacher completed measures of behavior to assess:
Social and social withdraw behavior.
Cognitive function.
Externalization of problems.
Study sought to determine if parental conflict was causal to poor adolescent adjustment and if there were any differences between male and female adolescents.
Study Design
This study was conducted using a correlational design.
Researchers conducted study to determine if relationships between high parental conflict and adolescent adjustment existed.
Researchers compared several groups of adolescents from homes with intact parents, divorced parents, high conflict, and low conflict to determine relationship.
No changes were made within the groups to affect an outcome.
Method
Original sample size: 170
Participants included: 96 adolescents equally divided by gender and their mothers
Participants were recruited through notices, fliers, direct mail advertising, and local media advertising.
Participants were selectively placed in eight groups of 12 students.
Groups were broken down by socioeconomic status, parental marital status, parental conflict (high vs. low), and gender.
Parental conflict was determined using the O’Leary-Porter Scale. High conflict was defined as means lower than 30; low conflict was defined as means higher than 30.
Findings were based on surveys completed by the child, parent, and teacher and observational sessions.
Method II
Several survey instruments were utilized in the study:
O’Leary-Porter Scale – determinant of level of parental conflict.

Purpose of the study
What is the author’s rationale for selecting this topic? Does he build a strong case?
The purpose of the study is to examine why perpetrators bully co-workers.
The assumption has been that stressful workplace conditions lead to bullying. Less research has been devoted to why perpetrators engage in bullying. This study addresses a gap in the literature by exploring individual and situational variables that contribute to bullying in the workplace.
Yes, the researchers provide a strong justification for their research, identifying what has been studied and what needs to be studied (a gap in the literature).
The aim of this study was to examine whether the relationship between exposure to negative acts and self-labeling as a victim of bullying was moderated by trait anger and trait anxiety or by the target’s organizational position.
The assumption has been that self-labeling does not bare a relationship with anger, anxiety or position. Previous research has been conducted to prove that the above factors are ...

Question 1.A group of researchers is replicating an earlier .docxIRESH3
Question 1.
A group of researchers is replicating an earlier experiment that indicated that participants who received task-specific feedback were more likely to persist at a task than participants who received more general, encouraging feedback. In an effort to ensure that participants are not treated differently based on the condition that they are in, the researchers automate all of the procedures and follow a written protocol when interacting with the participants. The researchers are trying to minimize:
placebo effects.
demand characteristics.
experimenter expectancy effects.
participant suspicion effects.
Question 2.
In a study examining the effects of heredity on intelligence, researchers compare the correlation of intelligence test scores of identical twins with the correlation of intelligence test scores for fraternal twins. In this experiment, the researcher is assuming that the comparison of identical and fraternal twins is a measure of heredity. This is an example of a ________________ inference.

Question 3
Researchers interested in studying the effect of happiness on various health outcomes randomly assign each person who comes in to the laboratory to one of two study conditions. However, several people in the study are friends and drove to the study together. The group of friends indicates that they need to be in the same condition of the study so that they can all leave at the together to get home. Accommodating the subjects' request might threaten validity because of the effect of:
regression to the mean.
attrition.

Question 4
In an experiment on the effects of everyday stress on memory, a researcher has participants record every hour how much stress they are feeling and then complete a short-term memory task. The results of the study reveal that everyday stress may affect short-term memory. After evaluating the results of the study, however, the researcher is concerned that people who have high scores on neuroticism questionnaires are more likely to report stress and exhibit memory problems than people who have low scores. The researcher is worried about __________ validity.

1. Studying the Effects of Social Behaviors and Personalities on Organic Chemistry Performance
Janson Ho and Unni Kurumbail
University of Rochester – Department of Chemistry
Introduction
Problem solving in organic chemistry necessitates a transition in
the way of thinking. Through workshops and specially designed
problems, students develop the skills to synthesize knowledge of
organic reactions and apply them to alternative scenarios.
However, every student maintains a unique personality and social
behavior, which affects their learning and thinking process.
Robinson and Dollinger have both reported that personality and
social behaviors such as openness are correlated with test
performance1,2. The goal of this study is to determine the effects
of students’ personalities and social behaviors on their organic
chemistry performance.
Hypothesis
Students who demonstrate extroverted qualities and social
behaviors of group participation and openness will perform better in
organic chemistry.
Methods
48 students were given surveys during workshop on
personalities and social behaviors for organic chemistry, from
which 44 students participated. The survey consisted of 10
questions designed to gauge participation and learning
preferences in organic chemistry. The survey utilized a scale of
1 to 5 for each question to provide students with options in
relatability. Some questions asked in the survey included:
• I prefer studying in groups for organic chemistry.
• In workshop I prefer working through problems on the board
rather than on paper.
• In workshop, I prefer talking through a problem to thinking
through a problem.
• I consider myself more of an introvert rather than an
extrovert.
• In workshop, I prefer listening to others' opinions rather than
expressing my own.
Data: Personality
Figure 1: Personalities vs. Organic Chemistry Performance
Figure 2: Ratio of Extroversion to Introversion vs. Organic Chemistry Performance
Results and Discussion
Figure 1 shows the spectrum of personalities within each test
score range. As test scores increased, there was an apparent
increase in the frequency of extroversion in performing
students. Figure 2 further confirms this observation through a
correlation of the ratio of extroversion to introversion against
test scores. A linear relationship was found between the ratio
and test performance, with a R2 value of 0.5976, a significant
value for linear correlations. While this does not indicate
causation, it does demonstrate that extroverted personalities
are correlated with organic chemistry performance.

Test Score Ranges
Results and Discussion
Figure 3 shows the distribution of social learning preferences
based on test scores. There is a slight trend that more social
students aggregated at the bottom and top of the test score
distribution. This is further explored in Figure 4, where low and
high preferences are aggregated to show a general trend that
students with the highest and lowest test scores tended to
have the least preference for social learning. One potential
explanation for this finding is student responses to the
question “I feel shy speaking up when I’m confused in
workshop.” There was a statistically significant association
between test scores and student responses to this question
(Figure 5), with lower-scoring students reporting that they felt
shyer speaking up in workshop. This offers one explanation for
why lower-scoring students were less likely to report
preferences for social learning.
