It is often thought that you smile because you are happy however it can go the other way as well; you can feel happy because you’re smiling. Parede, Stavraki, Brinol, & Petty (2012) administered an experiement looking at the Impact of facial expressions (smiling) on attitude change. It was hypothesised that ‘smiling would be associated with greater reliance on thoughts than no smiling informing
I am using secondary research because it saves time. I will not have to collect the data first hand, which will allow me time to evaluate the information found. I will research using the Internet, reports on Cadbury and magazine articles. Secondary research Secondary research is information that has previously been gathered from other sources. It is usually carried out by a third party company. The data is then analysed and made available for other companies. When using secondary data
The Effects of Women's Age and Physical Appearance on Evaluations of Attractiveness and Social Desirability Without question, the concepts of attractiveness and age are both important considerations to many individuals within Western culture. Age itself, is often viewed as a component of physical attractiveness. Arthur H. Perlini, Susan Bertolissi and David L. Lind performed an interesting study that incorporates the well-recognized factors of age and attractiveness. Moreover, the study used
more comfortable disclosing sensitive information about their involvement in crime due to the anonymity and confidentiality of self-report surveys (Hindelang et al., 1981). Weaknesses: Social Desirability Bias: Respondents may underreport or minimize their involvement in criminal behavior due to social desirability bias, leading to inaccurate or unreliable data (Hindelang et al., 1981). Limited Generalizability: Self-report surveys may not be representative of the broader population, as they often rely
with technology, they receive information daily from social media. Most college students first hear about news stories through social media, some through face-to-face information from friends, and even less from the television or radio (Rosengard, Tucker-McLaughlin, & Brown, 2014). Young adults are constantly exposed to a biased media, which can cause certain groups of people disproportionately influenced because of the availability heuristic bias, which is “the ease with which instances or associations

The interviewee paid complete attention and also seemed interested. Social cues of the interviewee also helped me get some information. Face-to-face interviewing also gave me a chance to observe the voice, intonation and body language of the interviewee which play an important role in delivering messages when answering a
predispositions that fulfill ones’ egos” (Berry). One of seven primary biases contributing towards selfishness is known as the social desirability bias- “the tendency to want to present…as better than one actually is. This can either be conscious, or unconscious, when a result of ego-defenses” (Berry). Dr. Jekyll’s nature suggests a predisposition to the social desirability bias, inclining him to selfish behavior. Obstacles in Dr. Jekyll’s mental health ultimately prohibited him from attaining his desired
Homosexual Parents: Does the Parents’ Sexual Orientation Affect the Kids? Society in many instances does not fully support or understand homosexual issues. The homosexual community is a valid part of the social community that has been excluded and marginalized for many years. With the continued ostracism of the homosexual community misconception, myth, and prejudice continue to exist concerning homosexuality. However, recently a new series of laws in the United States have pushed gay issues to the
nonparticipant, structured, non-structured and naturalistic. This method includes an observation of the respondent by the researcher in the respondent’s natural social settings. The researcher has no influence over the behaviour of the respondent. Observations are commonly used to study aspects of development, including physical, social, emotional and intellectual
victim surveys and self-report studies are the three main measures of the extent of crime in Britain. The oldest method is to rely on official data collected by criminal justice agencies, such as data on arrests or convictions. The other two rely on social surveys. In one case, individuals are asked if they have been victims of crime; in the other, they are asked to self-report their own criminal activity. (Terence P. Thornberry and Marvin D. Krohn) Although these are a main secondary source of quantitative

Both approaches suffer from potential bias; Adorno el al’s. F-scale may have had confirmatory bias, potentially causing a problem in which the interviewers know the results from the participant’s prior questionnaires, and subconsciously steer the results and findings towards a particular goal, causing a self-fulfilling prophecy. Although Altemeyer’s approach may not have involved interviews, the results could have still been biased, as acquiescence response bias could have occurred if the participants
in employing a way to reduce prejudice. I also learned that the end goal of research was to have a verified theory and draw application from it that could be applied to real life. I didn 't know that applications from research could be applied in social settings. As I said before, research is much more complex than the explanation that was given to me in high school. Within these different categories there are even smaller categories that assist the processes as a whole. For example, data collection
accomplishment based on intelligence in what he terms a “threshold effect”. Admittedly my immediate reaction was, that is just silly. From there I went on to read both chapters with a bias and wondering the extent of his research. Gladwell seems to be speaking to an everyman audience, yet seems to show a certain bias. On the surface he argues success comes with advantage, aided by intelligence, hard
Introduction The ancient practice of tattooing, once considered a trademark of social outcasts and criminals, has steered back into mainstream culture at an alarming rate (Irwin 2001, Swan 2006). In western society, tattoos are often associated with antisocial behaviour. In 1895, Cesare Lombroso concluded in his study that the art of tattooing is most commonly found on the bodies of criminals (Putnins 2002). The frequency of tattoo’ are predicted to be found at higher rates in criminal subcultures
children were more likely to die at a young age due to illnesses or accidents. Some of the children’s gravesites fail to have a name on the stone, expressing the commonality of child deaths. Interestingly, the both sides of the older area shows gender bias as the gravestones for women show mother, wife, or daughter of instead of a specific name of the female. During the late 1800s and early 1900s, women had less rights than men and were considered bound to their male family members. The older section
