A study was conducted to research and discover if chocolate results in decayed teeth. The research want to discover if chocolate in anyway could influence and help in the decaying of the teeth. For this experiment 20 participants were asked to participate, 10 males and 10 females. What is the DV for this experiment?
- A.
Chocolate
- B.
Teeth
- C.
Amount of Chocolate
- D.
Amount of Decay on teeth
- E.
Research & Discover
Correct Answer
D. Amount of Decay on teethExplanation
The dependent variable (DV) in this experiment is the amount of decay on the participants' teeth. The study aims to investigate if chocolate has any influence on tooth decay, so the researchers will measure and analyze the level of decay in order to draw conclusions about the relationship between chocolate consumption and tooth decay. The DV is the factor that is being measured and observed in response to the manipulation of the independent variable (IV), which in this case would be the amount of chocolate consumed.Rate this question:

What are the 3 experimental designs involved in a psychological research study?
- A.
Repeated measures design, Single measure design, Matched participants design
- B.
Matched participants design, repeated measures design, Independent groups design
- C.
Independent groups design, single measures design, Matched participants design
- D.
Matched measures design, Double measures design, Independent design
Correct Answer
B. Matched participants design, repeated measures design, Independent groups designExplanation
The correct answer is Matched participants design, repeated measures design, Independent groups design. A matched participants design involves matching participants in different groups based on certain characteristics to control for individual differences. A repeated measures design involves measuring the same participants multiple times under different conditions to compare within-subject differences. An independent groups design involves randomly assigning participants to different groups to compare between-group differences. These three designs are commonly used in psychological research studies to control for individual differences, compare within-subject differences, and compare between-group differences.Rate this question:

A Matched research Design involves the selection of pairs of participants who are very similar in a characteristic(s) that can influence the ____________ variable, then allocating each member of the pair to different groups.
- A.
Dependent variable
- B.
Nominal variable
- C.
Continuous variable
- D.
Discrete variable
Correct Answer
A. Dependent variableExplanation
A Matched research design involves selecting pairs of participants who are very similar in a characteristic(s) that can influence the dependent variable, and then assigning each member of the pair to different groups. This design allows researchers to control for potential confounding variables by ensuring that the characteristics that may influence the dependent variable are evenly distributed between the groups. By doing so, any differences observed in the dependent variable can be more confidently attributed to the independent variable being studied.Rate this question:

In an independent groups design, each participant is ______________ allocated to one of two (or more) entirely separate (independent) group.
- A.
Chosen
- B.
Picked
- C.
Randomly
- D.
Not
- E.
Only
Correct Answer
C. RandomlyExplanation
In an independent groups design, each participant is randomly allocated to one of two (or more) entirely separate (independent) groups. This means that the assignment of participants to different groups is done in a random manner, ensuring that each participant has an equal chance of being assigned to any of the groups. Random allocation helps to minimize potential biases and ensures that any differences observed between the groups are likely due to the independent variable being studied rather than any preexisting characteristics of the participants.Rate this question:

What is a repeated measures design?
- A.
When each participant preforms completely different tasks
- B.
When each participant is involved in both the experimental and control groups
- C.
When participants repeat the control activity
- D.
When a design is repeated to get the correct results
- E.
When each participants repeats the whole design
Correct Answer
B. When each participant is involved in both the experimental and control groupsExplanation
A repeated measures design is a type of research design where each participant is involved in both the experimental and control groups. This means that each participant experiences both the treatment and control conditions, allowing for a direct comparison within the same individuals. This design is often used to minimize individual differences and increase the statistical power of the study. By having each participant serve as their own control, the effects of confounding variables can be reduced, leading to more accurate and reliable results.Rate this question:

________ Refers to the stages of consciousness associated with being awake and aware of thoughts, memories, feelings and the sensations we are experiencing from the outside world.
- A.
NREM
- B.
REM
- C.
NWC
- D.
ASC
- E.
AAT
Correct Answer
C. NWCExplanation
NWC refers to the stages of consciousness associated with being awake and aware of thoughts, memories, feelings, and the sensations we are experiencing from the outside world. This includes our normal waking state where we are fully conscious and aware of our surroundings. NWC stands for "Normal Waking Consciousness."Rate this question:

Is it true that we continually shift between different states within NWC?
- A.
YES
- B.
NO
- C.
YES & NO
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. YESExplanation
It is true that we continually shift between different states within NWC (Networked World Culture). NWC refers to the interconnectedness and interdependence of cultures and societies in the modern world. With the advancements in technology and globalization, individuals and communities are constantly exposed to different cultures, ideas, and influences. This exposure leads to a continuous shift in our perspectives, beliefs, and behaviors, as we adapt and assimilate elements from various cultural sources. Therefore, the answer is YES.Rate this question:

__________ is used to describe any state of consciousness that is distinctly different from normal waking consciousness, in terms of level of awareness and experience....
- A.
NWC
- B.
NREM
- C.
REM
- D.
ASC
- E.
ATT
Correct Answer
D. ASCExplanation
ASC stands for Altered States of Consciousness, which refers to any state of consciousness that is different from normal waking consciousness. These altered states can be induced by various factors such as meditation, hypnosis, drugs, or even certain natural occurrences like near-death experiences. In these states, an individual's level of awareness and experience may be significantly altered, leading to different perceptions, thoughts, and sensations. ASC is a broad term that encompasses a range of experiences, including trance-like states, mystical experiences, and out-of-body experiences, among others.Rate this question:

A concentration of mental activity that involves a stimuli.
- B.
Is when you are alert
- C.
Is involved in ASC not NWC
- D.
A sensation people feel when interacting with a stimuli
Correct Answer
A. A concentration of mental activity that involves a stimuli.Explanation
The correct answer is "a concentration of mental activity that involves a stimuli." This answer accurately describes attention as the focusing of mental resources on a particular stimulus or task. It implies that attention involves directing cognitive processes towards the selected stimulus, indicating an active engagement with the stimuli.Rate this question:

Different types of attention involved in NWC include
- A.
Selective and divided
- B.
Divided and similarity
- C.
Selective and Stimuli
- D.
Divided and Responsive
Correct Answer
A. Selective and dividedExplanation
The correct answer is selective and divided. Selective attention refers to the ability to focus on specific stimuli while ignoring others. It allows individuals to filter out irrelevant information and concentrate on what is important. Divided attention, on the other hand, involves the ability to allocate attention to multiple tasks or stimuli simultaneously. It is the capacity to divide one's attention between different tasks or stimuli. These two types of attention are essential in NWC (normal waking consciousness) as they enable individuals to selectively attend to relevant information while simultaneously managing multiple tasks or stimuli.Rate this question:
