- 71: Manuscript For Experimental Ps
- ... Baumeister (1985) who studied potential effects of dispositional sex-role orientation on bystander intervention in emergencies had found that masculinity inhibits helping in emergencies. According to their study, it is personality that predicts the bystander effect. Participants with highly masculine characteristics were less likely to take action to help the victim than were others, fearing potential embarrassment and loss of poise. Although supported to some extent, there have been several studies ... that women were more likely to help than men, but more likely to help in a nurturing way than in a problem-solving way. The other goal of this experiment was to study the bystander effect. Contrary to popular belief that the more people there are during an emergency, the more help would be offered, studies have shown that in real life, the fewer bystanders there are at an emergency situation ... helping behavior. In their research, they noted that brief periods of isolation have been shown to increase self-focus and decrease social sensitivity.

It is clear that many factors come into play when measuring the bystander effect. Taking into consideration how countless ...

His hypothesis in the article focused on if the placebos had any effect on the patients who took them.

Khrushchev was willing to barter, and eventually use force, to maintain Soviet control. Without this force and coercion, however, Hungary would have established its own brand of communist rule. Khrushchev could not risk the domino effect that this action would have had on the Eastern bloc. This societal opposition can, therefore, be taken to be another contributing factor in the downfall of communist rule in the Eastern bloc. If those in ... war communism under Lenin was that from 1914 the countryside was neglected and destroyed and in 1920 there was a severe drought. (20) In 1921 the New Economic Policy (NEP) was introduced. This was in effect a limited capitalism. Peasants were allowed to keep their surpluses after taxes were paid. Bonuses, extra rations and better housing were offered as incentives. Still there was widespread opposition to the communist policy with ...

- 75: Experimenter Expectancy Effect On Children in a Classroom Setting
- Experimenter Expectancy Effect On Children in a Classroom Setting Rosenthal and Jacobson (1966) sought to test the experimenter expectancy effect by examining how much of an outcome teachers' expectancies could have on a group of children. Earlier investigations in this area were also conducted by Rosenthal (1963). He worked with children in a research lab ... children did not know, i.e., what Rosenthal had kept hidden, was that the rats were chosen at random. There were no rats that were especially bright or dull. Another case of the experimenter expectancy effect was that of the horse known as “Clever Hans”. It seemed to be able to read, spell, and solve math problems by kicking his leg a number of times. The horse was tested and ...
- 76: The Cycle of Never Ending Cause and Effect
- The Cycle of Never Ending Cause and Effect There is no such thing as first or second, or as cause and effect. Humanity has constantly searched for the beginning of things asking questions such as 'Which came first, the chicken or the egg?". They search for answers which are simply entangled in a never ending cycle of ... as completely forgetting exists, someone would again do a misdeed that would spark the fighting chain. The world is a sphere which rotates without stopping. Once it stops, the cycle of never ending cause and effect keeps on going. As a new begging takes place, the cycle would be rotating.

- 78: HUME Vs KANT Causality
- ... piece of the spectrum of reason. Matters of fact are contingent, meaning they could be otherwise. In order to go beyond the objects of human reason, Hume proposed that reasoning was based upon cause and effect. Causal relations help us to know things beyond our immediate vicinity. All of our knowledge is based on experience. Therefore, we need experience to come to causal relationships of the world and experience constant conjunction ... instance, attained by reasonings ‘a priori’, but arises entirely from experience.” (42) Unfortunately, our experience of constant conjunction only tells us about the past. Rationally, that is all it tells us. We can expect the effect to follow the cause, but it is not a sufficient basis to assume the effect will come from the cause in the future. These things are contingent- they could be different. “The connection between these two propositions is not intuitive… it is always inferred.” (480) Hume asserted that the ...
