It can occur through various means such as face-to-face conversations, video conferences, or instant messaging. This type of communication is characterized by real-time interaction and is often preferred for urgent or time-sensitive matters. In contrast, asynchronous communication refers to communication that occurs at different times, where there is a time delay between the sender and receiver.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. In the labExplanation
Experiments take place in the lab because it is a controlled environment where scientists can manipulate variables and closely observe the outcomes. The lab provides the necessary equipment and resources to conduct experiments safely and accurately. It also allows for repeatable and controlled conditions, which are essential for obtaining reliable results. Conducting experiments in the lab ensures that external factors are minimized, allowing researchers to focus on the specific variables they are studying.Rate this question:

Where do Field Experiments take place?
- A.
In the lab
- B.
In the field
- C.
In the dark
- D.

Correct Answer
B. In the fieldExplanation
Field experiments take place in real-world settings outside of a controlled laboratory environment. This allows researchers to observe and manipulate variables in a natural and authentic context, providing more realistic and generalizable results. Conducting experiments in the field enables researchers to study phenomena as they naturally occur, without the constraints and limitations of a lab setting. Therefore, the correct answer is "In the field".Rate this question:

Causation can be determined by surveys.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
Causation cannot be determined by surveys. Surveys are a method of collecting data from a sample population to gather information about their opinions, beliefs, or behaviors. While surveys can provide valuable insights and correlations between variables, they cannot establish a cause-and-effect relationship. Causation requires more rigorous research methods, such as experiments or longitudinal studies, to establish a clear link between variables. Surveys can only provide evidence of association or correlation, not causation.Rate this question:
-
- 30.
Correlation doesn’t equal causation. There has to be a cause & effect.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
This statement is true because correlation refers to a statistical relationship between two variables, but it does not imply a cause-and-effect relationship. Just because two variables are correlated does not mean that one variable causes the other to occur. Additional evidence and analysis are needed to establish a causal relationship between variables.Rate this question:
-
- 31.
Cause and effect happens when you are exposed to something and then react to that something.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Cause and effect is a relationship where an event or action (cause) leads to another event or outcome (effect). In this context, when you are exposed to something, it can trigger a reaction or response from you. This reaction can be a direct result of the exposure, creating a cause and effect relationship. Therefore, the statement that cause and effect happens when you are exposed to something and then react to that something is true.Rate this question:

Correlation means...
- A.
Two things usually go together, but they don’t cause each other.
- B.
Two things always go together and they cause each other
Correct Answer
A. Two things usually go together, but they don’t cause each other.Explanation
Correlation refers to a statistical relationship between two variables, where they tend to occur together or change in a similar pattern. However, correlation does not imply causation, meaning that the relationship between the variables does not necessarily indicate that one variable is causing the other to change. Therefore, the correct answer states that two things usually go together, but they don't cause each other.Rate this question:

Ethnography is when...
- A.
Someone studies ethnicities
- B.

Correct Answer
B. Someone goes into the field and observes thingsExplanation
Ethnography is a research method used in anthropology and sociology where an individual immerses themselves in a particular social group or culture to observe and understand their behaviors, customs, and beliefs. This involves going into the field, which refers to physically being present in the community or setting being studied, and actively observing and interacting with people and their surroundings. By doing so, researchers can gain a deeper understanding of the culture and its practices, enabling them to analyze and interpret the data collected.Rate this question:

Technological Determinism- the technology determines the culture.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer

Technological determinism is a theory that suggests that technology has a significant influence on shaping culture and society. According to this perspective, technology is seen as the driving force behind social change and development. It argues that technological advancements shape the way people think, behave, and interact, ultimately determining the culture of a society. Therefore, the statement "Technological Determinism- the technology determines the culture" is true, as it aligns with the principles of this theory.Rate this question:

The independent variable is...
- A.
The variable that's measured in an experiment
- B.
The variable that's manipulated in an experiment
Correct Answer
B. The variable that's manipulated in an experimentExplanation
The independent variable is the variable that is manipulated in an experiment. It is the variable that the researcher deliberately changes or controls to observe its effect on the dependent variable. The purpose of manipulating the independent variable is to determine if it has a causal relationship with the dependent variable. By altering the independent variable, researchers can investigate the impact it has on the outcome being measured.Rate this question:

The dependent variable is...
- A.
The variable that's measured in an experiment
- B.
The variable that's manipulated in an experiment
Correct Answer
A. The variable that's measured in an experimentExplanation
The dependent variable is the variable that is measured in an experiment. It is the outcome or result that is being observed or studied. It is called "dependent" because its value depends on the independent variable, which is the variable that is manipulated or changed in the experiment. By measuring the dependent variable, researchers can determine the effect or influence of the independent variable on the outcome.Rate this question:

E. Inciting a riot or other acts of violenceExplanation
The correct answer includes three examples of true threats: yelling 'Fire!' in a crowded theatre, saying you're going to kill the president, and inciting a riot or other acts of violence. These actions are considered true threats because they involve direct or explicit statements that can reasonably be perceived as a serious intention to harm or endanger others. The other options, such as saying you disagree with the government or protesting, do not inherently involve explicit threats of harm and therefore do not fall under the category of true threats.Rate this question:
